GreyThroat

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

On our Arknights tier list GreyThroat is B tier, 161st of the 293 characters ranked, from where 12 current tier lists put GreyThroat.

GreyThroat attacks fast, and both her skills add extra hits on top of that, making her excellent at clearing single targets one at a time rather than groups. Skill two fires three shots in a row with a further ATK boost, strong enough to bring down even high-HP targets, though it needs some SP built up from attacking first.

Her talent adds a small chance at bonus damage once promoted, which is nice but relies on luck to matter. She has no debuffs or AOE at all, so she's best saved for stages with a lot of flying enemies or fights where taking targets down one by one is the plan. We rank her B tier.

MAR-Y: She comes to in the corridor where she played as a child.

She remembers; her father's working very late today.

She's waiting in the corridor for him. The sunset clouds are chased in by autumn winds, and in this country town where no high-rise nor skyscraper stands, time's gifts are ever there to be seized at the first moments.

Quietly, she pushes her father's door open and sees his stern expression–something has happened, her child's instincts say.

She comes to in the crook of her mother's arm.

She remembers; she is nine now. She should be celebrating her birthday with her friends, sharing the cake.

There should be candles aflame, yet the town burns.

She sees her mother's face; in the instant she notices her daughter's gaze, the enmity and apprehension is hidden away behind the moon.

The night is deep and dark, and her mother tells her it'll all be alright.

She comes to in a tent in the barrens. She remembers; this is their third month on the run.

The incident in town seemed to serve as an excuse for all the other relatives to shun the mother and daughter.

Her faith in and dependence on others left her in the sound of a single crash.

She hasn't seen her father for so long now.

She dearly wishes to cry and cry, and so she hugs her mother, but droplets hit the floor before she's even begun to weep.

She comes to beneath an unfamiliar carport.

She remembers; her tenth birthday is very soon.

Surrounding her are adults as frigid as ice, one by one forcing out a smile.

She is a smart child, and knows these people mean well, but she's only a child all the same.

The adults tell her that her mother is entrusting her to Rhodes Island.

Her mother has left, like a cloud.

She comes to in brand-new bedding. She remembers; her arm is filled with bruising.

She used a stolen sheet of sandpaper to rub at her once-smooth skin, hounding the flesh as though it'd atone.

It hurts, and she dares not continue, but the moment she thinks of the black crystals, her throat is in the death grip of an all-choking emotion.

She wants to vomit. She can't. She hasn't eaten in so very, very long.

She comes to the boom of floodwater. She remembers; Amiya and the Infected are still below.

Those nameless heroes are resisting a mere Catastrophe.

She lifts her head, and as the elements batter all, it suddenly strikes her that suffering is not a matter of great or small, and nor is hope.

She throws herself down. Amiya must be alright, at the very least.

She hears those behind her howling in fear.

She hears them. Infected are drowning here, they say; when the flood recedes, will their water sources be polluted?

She comes to beneath a sunset as red as fire.

She remembers; she saved a great many at Sugar City, a great many more than she could know.

Her mother comes to mind. All at once, she feels sad, yet smiles.

She understands her father, but still hasn't been able to find her mother.

Can she find her? Will she ever? As the thought strikes her, she has a mild headache, but feels unusually unburdened.

She turns her head, and gives the great Feline as badly wounded as her a tremendous chewing-out.

"Blaze! Can't you wake me up any other way?!"

GreyThroat: GreyThroat, Sniper Operator of Rhodes Island, brings eternal peace with each of her steady shots.

She has the traits of silver-backed needletail (Hirundapus cochinchinensis).

Her codename is a direct reference to the Chinese name of the bird, the "grey-throated needletail swallow (灰喉针尾雨燕)."
