'Justice Knight'

"Justice, ready!"

Factory model “Justice Knight” has been updated to modern standards and placed back into commission to aid Rhodes Island! Traces of her old programming still remain and bring haunting sensations toward the surface… sensations that a human might call “fear.” What were the circumstances around her being decommissioned in the first place? Never mind! Move forward, only thinking of justice—that’s the “Justice Knight” way!

“Justice Knight” is a 1★ Marksman Sniper with a lot of unusual utility. As a 1★ unit, she is a “Robot” type Operator: she does not count toward the Deploy Limit of a map, she has a very long redeployment time, and she automatically triggers her Talent as soon as she is deployed. That Talent is Justice Drive, and it grants reduced aggro to all ranged Operators in her attack range while also inflicting the Fragile effect on all flying enemies within her attack range. While she is a Robot, “Justice Knight” is also a Marksman Sniper, so her other purpose is delivering ranged attacks that prioritize flying enemies.

In terms of direct combat potential, “Justice Knight” is very lacking. Her stats are terrible even for a 1★ unit, and there are multiple low-rarity Marksman Snipers whose combat abilities are much better. Her ability to cause Fragile is also of limited use, since Fragile effects do not stack and her application of the effect is comparatively weak—plus, she only applies it to aerial enemies. Her most unique value is her aggro reduction, but the effect’s short duration makes it tricky to use well. It’s also unlikely to be useful for experienced Doctors who are practiced at deployment order.

“Justice Knight” is a unit who grows with her Doctor: she can help weaken flying enemies in the early game, forgive deployment order mistakes in the midgame, and pull off aggro tricks (or retire gracefully to the RIIC Base) in the later game. However, her contributions tend to be small and should not be relied upon too much.
