Firewatch

Firewatch is a 5-star character in Arknights. Firewatch's class is Sniper. Faction: Rhodes Island.

On our Arknights tier list Firewatch is B tier, 154th of the 293 characters ranked, from where 13 current tier lists put Firewatch.

Firewatch picks off whichever enemy has the lowest defense, and between her long reach and heavy attack stat she can drop weaker ranged units in a single hit once her attack buffs are up. Her area-bombing skill is great for punishing groups that clump together, though where the bombs land is partly random, so it does less for a lone tough target.

A stealth skill lets you tuck her out of sight so she doesn't need a Medic's protection, but she still pays for all that with a slower attack rate and a steep deployment cost, and enough ranged attackers on screen will still find her without some backup.

"Let me join your knight squad!"

"Ask again when you're a little older."

"That's what you said last time! I've waited a whole year, and I've gotten really good with my crossbow!

I can hit a tree branch from 200 meters away!"

"Fine then, if you can go outside town, slay a gloompincer, and bring it back to camp before nightfall, I'll let you join."

The squad captain couldn't talk the young girl out of it, so he wanted to make things as hard for her as possible so that she would reconsider.

Though he had said those words half-jokingly, how could he possibly leave a child to fight against a gloompincer alone?

He followed the girl quietly, curious as to what she planned to do.

But when he saw her scouting out a sniping position, camouflaging into the environment, and then landing three clean shots in a row, he changed his mind.

The captain appeared in front of the girl as she dragged the corpse of the gloompincer back to town, the slain beast almost bigger than herself.

"Come with me from now on."

The girl lifted her head with a smile across her muddied face.

Time flies, and so the young girl grew up.

She had fought in many battles against the Ursus Army, scoring success after success.

The knights would come and go like the wind, routing the Ursus troops before disappearing without a trace.

As their names spread fear through the ranks of the Ursus Army, the knights' prestige soared ever higher, and the girl herself became a war hero in the eyes of the people.

"We won again. Why are you frowning?" The girl asked the captain.

"Winter is almost here, and our supplies are running short.

How long can we persist like this?"

The Knights' Forest, page 137.

The fated day finally came.

When the enemy army invaded, the knights prepared to sweep them with their usual hit-and-run tactics.

But at that moment, the might of Ursus's artillery fell directly on top of them, and the knights were completely unable to put up a fight in the face of overwhelming military strength......

"Impossible! How could Ursus possibly know our precise location?

It's utterly impossible, unless––"

The girl didn't have time for idle thoughts.

The most important thing was to break free from the enemy's siege.

If she died here, everything would've been for naught.

"One day, I'll find you, whoever you are––"

Against insurmountable odds, the girl somehow managed to escape the hail of bullets.

Behind her... came the smoke of her hometown ablaze.

All the pages of the book after this point were burnt, the edges of the leaf caught between the pages singed.

The leaf was laminated and stowed in the girls' tactical equipment box.

Every time she put away her equipment, she would take another look at that leaf.

This may be the last leaf from her hometown that she can still see.

This is the story of an ancient war. Just another story.

But to Firewatch, this book – and the sole leaf remaining – seems to hold some deeper significance.
