Ch'en

Ch'en is a 6-star character in Arknights. Ch'en's weapon type is Sword and class is Guard. Faction: Lungmen Guard Department.

On our Arknights tier list Ch'en is S tier, 20th of the 293 characters ranked, from where 12 current tier lists put Ch'en.

Ch'en ranks among the strongest offensive Guards: each of her regular hits actually lands twice, which is where her fast clears and heavy burst damage come from. Crimson Sky: Drawn Blade sweeps everything in a line ahead of her, mixing physical and Arts damage into the same hit so resistances don't shut it down as easily, and her other two skills stun while they hit, which is handy for locking down a tough boss.

Her talent also feeds bonus SP to the whole team's attack and recovery skills over time, so sending her out early pays off over a long fight.

SWO-X: 7th of July, clear. On her birthday, she was excited to show Wei Yenwu the unsheathing, but couldn't find a trace of him anywhere.

After three days, she waited no longer.

13th of May, cloudy. She cut down a thirty-year-old tree in the courtyard with Tearrender, smashing the roof in.

Wei Yenwu did not appear, and merely sent someone to plant a new tree.

She never hoped for Wei Yenwu's acknowledgement again.

1st of January, heavy rain. On a New Year's visit, in the downpour, she saw an injustice on her way to the slums, struck out in anger, and took fifteen on her own.

In this moment of mortality, she fled into the night by her hilted sword, harming seven, repulsing eight.

When she landed atop, Wei Yenwu made a rare appearance, saw the sword marks, and gave her a single look before leaving.

She's forgotten why she struck out at the time, but will never forget the disappointment in that look.

25th of December, clear. Acted in bravery while heading home from the Royal Guard Academy, totally fearless, slashing grand and bold, sparing as called for.

She was high on spirit, believed she could hew away all injustice in the land.

30th of July, cloudy. At the cost of five days unconscious, let out Shadowless, ultimately cutting down a major fugitive.

Lungmen's Ch'en Hui-chieh, shining in prominence.

After waking up, Chi Xiao was placed by her bedside, and Wei Yenwu hadn't once come to visit her.

13th of August, overcast. Midway pursuing an Infected criminal, was eager to strike out with Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao did not budge one hair. Subsequently, in this moment of mortality, inspiration struck, Chi Xiao was unsheathed, and cut half a subterranean garage down.

She sought Wei Yenwu to find out why Chi Xiao had and hadn't, but Wei Yenwu did not meet her.

30th of September, clear. Chi Xiao was unsheathed a second time, cut open a treasury door, and saved the hostages within.

She began to understand, Chi Xiao was a sword of will.

She thought she had always done more than enough, but had in actuality done too little.

She had to be faster, and mightier.

7th of July, cloudy. On her birthday, over a decade coming, Wei Yenwu asked for the first time to see her swordplay.

She condensed all she'd learned, and made an incomplete Cloudsplitter her final examination's answer.

Wei Yenwu did not comment.

1st of January, clear. Left Lungmen together with Rhodes Island.

From here on forth, Chi Xiao will rarely be unsheathed.
