Botzu's Quick Evaluation

+ Trait: Attacks slow enemies
+ A decent Operator for early missions but not usually worth using resources to promote
+ Cheap to develop and deploy and easy to max potential
- Weak Skill
- Other Supporters provide much more utility

Operator Overview

“Popukar... needs a pat on the head. Catapult... needs to be tied up. Spot... just don't make him mad. Midnight... knocking him out is the only way to make him behave. There, Doctor, now you know the proper protocol for dealing with Team A6.”

Former fashion magazine editor and current babysitter to the wacky members of Squad A6, Orchid acts with style and precision. Using her trusty umbrella as a focal point for her Arts, she plays the part of a Slowing Supporter Operator on the battlefield.

In order to apply her Slow debuffs reliably, Orchid’s kit shines a spotlight on the benefits of attack speed. Her Talent, Casting Speed Up, is a simple attack speed buff, and her Swift Strike α Skill increases her Attack power and attack speed for its duration. High attack speed allows Orchid to keep her Slow applied to a single target consistently, and it also helps her switch to new targets quickly when her original target dies. Even though she has a low ATK stat, her Arts attacks may do more damage to high-DEF targets than physical attackers with higher ATK. 

As with many other 3* Operators, low base stats and lack of an E2 promotion hold Orchid back from being an appealing long-term investment. The competition in the Slowing role is also fierce, with fellow Supporters possessing utility that Orchid can’t quite match. That being said, Orchid is remarkably accessible through Recruitment and can be a competent Slower and supplemental Arts DPS unit for players who are looking for a little extra utility – or for a pair of very fierce heels.

Newbie Tier List Explanation

An extremely cheap option to obtain slow, she works with no investment at all.

Integrated Strategies Tier List Explanation

General IS Notes

+ Good Slow capabilities. + 0 Hope Cost.
- Subpar damage

IS2 Specific Notes

Not amazing in a vacuum, but most of the actually worthwhile supporters are 6*s so Orchid remains a strong option if you are not ready to invest that much.

Good Relics

Relic Interactions

Recommended Promotion

E1 Max recommended, as it is a pretty low investment.

Base Skill Analysis

Orchid gains her second RIIC Base Skill upon reaching Elite 1.

Is it worth it? Probably not, but maybe. Orchid’s first Skill is a 40% buff to the HR Office.  This rate is only beat by Eyjafjalla and Provence at E2, and only matched by Nightmare E2. Because Trading Post skills are more common, Orchid is often leashed to the HR office all the time - but if you already happen to have better HR Office workers or need the trading post spot filled, Orchid could be a decent E1 candidate.

Profile

Former editor of a Columbian fashion magazine, Orchid began treatment at Rhodes Island following Oripathy. She expressed her desire to become an Operator, passed the examination battery and was assigned to Reserve Op Team A6 as the squad leader. She manages the team and provides support with her Arts in combat.

Clinical Analysis

Increase Trust to 25.
Imaging test for this Operator showed blurry outline of internal organs with visible unusual dark spots. Unusually high concentration of Originium particles were present in her circulation, indicating signs of infection and confirming her as infected at this stage.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 6%
Infection is expected to spread given the current course. Regular observation and management required.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.23u/L
Operator Orchid displays conspicuous symptoms, but has cooperated with the treatment plan and has minimized the spread of the infection.

Increase Trust to 50.
Captain of Reserve Op Team A6, yearning to return to a normal life.
Having previously been an office worker, Orchid is one of the most 'ordinary' Rhodes Islanders, but finds herself constantly troubled by the more colorful characters on her team. Her title might be captain, but she's more like the squad nanny.

Archive File 2

Increase Trust to 100.
The former fashion magazine editor still has a nose for the trendy. She never bandwagons onto a fad, preferring to keep to her own vision. The way she dresses usually sets the style for the season at Rhodes Island.
More importantly, she knows all the tricks to cover up all the superficial symptoms of Oripathy, keeping the Infected looking the same as they ever did, and even bringing out their individual charms--just as she did for herself. She has been a godsend to many Oripathy sufferers, especially the ladies.
As such, Miss Orchid has become an icon to some of the girls on the island.

Archive File 3

Increase Trust to 150.
A modern city girl like Orchid would have never volunteered herself for a highly dangerous job like an that of an Operator.
But treatment at Rhodes Island isn't free (though there are discounts and payment plans), and she did lose her job. Ultimately, after a battery of exams, she decided to accept the position.
Of course, if she knew she was to lead the freaks on A6, she probably would have had second thoughts.

Archive File 4

Increase Trust to 200.
But when all is said and done, Orchid knows better than anyone that even though A6 is a freak show, they all have their hearts in the right place.
her egotistical but sincere Midnight, her deadly but well-meaning Popukar, her icy but caring Spot, and... then there's Catapult... Right, let's not talk about her. In any case, Orchid treasures her squadmates.

Description:
Ever since she started to lead the Operations Reserve Team A6 on field missions, Orchid hasn't been as hesitant about working overtime than before. After all, emergency missions don't come in on a regular schedule like office paperwork. After she got woken up by late night urgent calls a couple times, she started to face all this calmly. If she could have just five more minutes before the mission, she would even have given herself a full face makeup before showing up in front of her teammates.
