Important Points 

 

When you pull the banner with these operators, you have to consider a bit more about the following facts. You should have a good idea and knowledge about pulling it before you do it. The essential facts are as follows,

 

• The operator Nian is the first limited operator in the game, Arknights. Although she is a perfect character, she is not an essential character most of the time.

 

• The operator, Aak, possesses a very high amount of buffing. But he has some considerable downsides.

 

• The operator, Hung, is a strong operator with healing abilities. If you have already got Saria or Nearl in the game, you would not need to get Hung.

 

• The players do not need to get this banner to get the first limited operator, Nian. You should have a clear vision to complete the mission. So pull the banner by thinking about your needs.

 

• That is why all the doctors should pay Headhunting until pulling a five-star character or an operator because the one is guaranteed to happen during the first ten rolls.

 

Nian 

 

 

There were rumours about the arrival of Nian for a long time. Finally, she has arrived at the game as the first-ever limited operator in Arknights. All were obsessed with lazy mahjong. So, Nian may wonder about the fuss about her among the people. The players can understand her easily with her kit and options of utility. She has immersed herself in survivability and DPS. At the same time, she has good Arts damage, buffs and debuffs also.

 

Nian is famous for her S3. It applies to make buffs to the close enemies with an enhanced Block count. With that, she will become the only operator to date. As an average defender, she has the following excellent and functional features with few drawbacks.

Aak 

 

 

When we talk about Aak, she has high trustworthiness towards the players. He has a lab coat and crazy eyes. Her primary role is to buff his allies. Usually, it will show as generous and kind acts to do. But, the idea of this buff, shooting his supporters in the head, may sound far away from the concept of kindness and generosity.

• His skills of S2 and S3 can shoot allies fifteen times. This is before the buffing of them. But, he can destroy his operators using this skill.

 

Hung 

 

 

He was an elemental character when the battles tempered more violently. Hung is a healing defender, and he utilizes his skills to heal his allies. His skills commonly get intensified when he gets a hit. During these enemy waves, Hung looks like a sad puppy looking for his owner to go home. But, when he joins the battle, he can block the crowds of enemies powerfully.
