Rockrock

Rockrock is a 5-star character in Arknights. Rockrock's class is Caster. Faction: Victoria.

On our Arknights tier list Rockrock is B tier, 184th of the 293 characters ranked, from where 7 current tier lists put Rockrock.

Rockrock fights alongside a Drone whose damage builds the longer it stays locked onto the same enemy, much like Kjera's kit. Willing Burden lets that Drone chase a target down even outside her own attack range until it dies, and Overloading it adds more ATK and a higher damage cap at the cost of stunning her once the effect ends, unless she deactivates it early.

Firm Foundation gives her a periodic ATK buff just for staying deployed, which helps offset her own very low personal ATK.

FUN-X: "Hi, Rockrock! Here's a present from me to you!

I was gonna whip you up a manual, but Stainless provided the parts, and his two cents are to forget about introducing this drone in writing, so I recorded you a video instead!

First, you gotta open. . . "

Rockrock comes to Rhodes Island's training grounds and, following Closure's guidance, pilots this sudden and impromptu gift.

The drone nimbly sweeps through simulated battlefront terrain, casting its tiny shadow on the floor.

Excellent acceleration, excellent turn speed, excellent climb and descent speed, minimal handling delay, stable hovering.

It's a fine enough combat drone already.

But Rockrock has a hunch that it could be made even better.

The notion revs up her curiosity—she wants to know what's causing this to nag at her.

Call it a keen eye when it comes to manufactured products; call it the heart of an industrious craftsman's passions.

Heading back to her dorm, she disassembles her present.

In the process, she gasps with marvel more than once at its design.

Only the best of the best craftwork could have created its structural chassis, with a state-of-the-art console clearly responsible for the precision cutting and superlative materials.

Its control system's cable management is 100% orderly, every last hair of savable space saved.

The design itself was likely engineered with her piloting habits in mind, because she's never liked the larger drones and their operating platforms, after all.

Still, the issue might lie exactly here—in the greedy pursuit of lightweight structural configuration, its cutting-edge energy sources can't output its full potential.

. . but this doesn't jive with Rockrock's other gut question, which is "why would Closure design it this way?

After carefully inspecting all over, she's astonished to find a tiny little box crammed into the drone's chassis, with all the parts and wiring routing around it.

It's as if the designer expressly scooped out a region from an already lightweight skeleton.

. . Opening the box to take a look, she finds a picture scrawled with memos from both Closure and her, and a note tacked on.

"To Rockrock from Closure! "

Looking at the memos, a wordless feeling wells up within her.

It's the implicit trust that exists only between artisans—I just knew you'd find the real gift.

And after extracting this second surprise, the drone's internals become a new present unto themselves—how to reconfigure them to fill this empty portion?

Just tweak the motor parts? Or reshuffle the placement of each part completely?

Rockrock sinks into obsessed pondering.

And not to forget. . . where should she put her own hidden present, for the next time she runs into Closure and Feist?

Create the Advantage: The Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Corps know the city like the backs of their own hands.

The streetways and underground alleys are a given, but everything down to abandoned passages finds use in their hands.

It's only natural, as a member of the Corps, that Rockrock knows all the same tricks.
