RIIC Base Skills






Botzu's Quick Evaluation
+ Talent: Melee Operators in the surrounding 8 tiles gain an ATK buff
+ High DEF
+ S2: good DPS with S2 active
- S2: Very high SP Cost with on-attack charge means low up-time
- Talent: Only buffs melee and is difficult to utilize on some maps due to limited melee tiles
- Without significant investment her Skills have a very short duration
Operator Overview
"Wipe them out in one fell swoop! It's cheaper that way!"
Her luxurious locks are only matched by her strident speeches: everyone, please welcome Miss Swire to Arknights! This Lungmen official and 5★ Support Guard occupies an interesting position in the game as both a DPS (which most Guards are) and a Support (which most Guards are not).
Swire’s support comes from her Talent, Melee Combat Guidance, which increases the base ATK of all melee-type allies in the eight tiles adjacent to her. Her Skills increase the power of the buff: Command and Dispatch has a smaller increase but also increases the Talent’s area of effect, while Cooperative Combat is a much stronger buff that also hugely buffs Swire’s ATK. In addition, Swire can Block-2, attacks non-aerial enemies at a distance, and has faster ASPD than a typical Guard. Her DP cost is also surprisingly low for her rarity.
Unfortunately, the trendy tigress pays the price for her team support by sacrificing her own combat performance. Swire has very low HP and ATK for a 5★ Guard, so it’s hard for her to live up to her DPS tag. Cooperative Combat helps this issue a lot, but the SP cost is very high, so it takes a long time to charge. The fact that her Talent does not affect ranged Operators is also a drawback, since it limits the number of allies she can realistically buff. There are definitely situations where an actual DPS Operator can contribute more than Swire can.
As is often the case with supporting Operators, Swire’s strength is dependent on the team she is buffing. Not every map layout and not every Doctor’s strategy is conducive to her unique style, but her persistence can pay off under the right circumstances.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Limited buff applicability; horrible charging and uptime on her S2.
Module Analysis
Operator Impact: Medium
Meta Use: Low
Explanation: Although low DPS is one of their problems, unlike Pallas, these two don't have the kits to utilize this buff to much effect because of their relatively low base ATK and Skill ATK modifiers. If you use them, the Module will improve them, but it won't drastically change their overall performance, which will remain poor.

Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%
No signs of Oripathy present.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.13u/L
Subject's vital indicators are all normal, suggesting she is rarely exposed to Originium.
Don't worry, Ms. Swire, Rhodes Island's hospital fees are quite reasonable. You only have to pay...
--S.S.E., Medic Operator
Any unfair charges to patients will have appropriate consequences.
-- Dr. Kal'tsit

Increase Trust to 50.Adding a loudspeaker to such a drone lets her beam her voice to every officer in the field, a technique she has used to great effect!
But thinking about Swire's voice booming across a battlefield is rather intimidating...
Archive File 2
Increase Trust to 100.'Swire must be super rich!'
'Her family business owns some property in Lungmen! And they have even more in Victoria!'
'Why did she choose to be a police officer instead of inheriting the family business? What was she thinking?'
The officers would mutter amongst themselves behind Swire's back until they finished their mission or she lashed out at them. They were still fearful of Swire, as she always had her dreaded hammer in hand.
Now the Rhodes Island Operators do more or less the same thing.
'She sure is testy. And she's really mean.' -a Lungmen police officer who asked to not be named.
Archive File 3
Increase Trust to 150.Swire is fine paying necessary expenses, but if she thinks a bill is too high, becomes intensely suspicious. She will double check her accounts and circle any seemingly dubious charges.
When she is angry, she deviates from her noble Victorian image. She will charge across the Lungmen street markets and no one can stop her.v
Despite this, everyone is still willing to work with her. Swire is not as aggressive as Ch'en, but her focus makes her a good boss. In addition, she is very happy to share when she is in a good mood, and she will often pay everyone who's gone the extra mile out of her own pocket.
'She really works hard with you. She works like that with everyone.' -a Lungmen police officer who asked to not be named
Archive File 4
Increase Trust to 200.It must've been before the Guard Department was founded, and Wei Yenwu had decided to clean up Lungmen. This kidnapping was the big thing in that campaign.
The kidnappers were really something. They had serious firepower, enough to wipe out all our detectives. If we screwed up, they would've killed the hostage and all our effort would've been for nothing.
The hostage's grandfather was a tough old man who seemed to be Victorian nobility. I think the kidnappers had some reason to go after this kid and it wasn't ransom. They wanted their story to be streamed to the public so Wei Yenwu would look weak. They weren't just ordinary kidnappers. It wasn't that simple.
The rescue mission was planned by Wei Yenwu and this kid's grandfather. They used a secret special ops team. It's beside the point, but that team was the prototype for the Guard Department's Special Inspection Unit. There were a lot of tabloids and novels written about them.
Anyway, they pulled it off. The ringleader was executed and most of his accomplices were killed on the spot.
The hostage? She was just a little girl. The kidnappers clearly didn't think about how traumatic the experience would be for her.
She didn't end up seeing anything gruesome. She saw a Lungmen police officer rushing out. She saw the heavy Christmas snowfall. She saw the street lamps and the Christmas tree outside the abandoned building. That's pretty good.
I hope the officers left a good impression on her.
How do I know all this? Some old police officers told me about it. Everyone's really proud of that mission!
Hey, don't ask me! I got nothing to hide.
--A Lungmen Guard Department supervisor

Upgrade to Elite LV2.--An officer who does not want to be named but is named 'Ch'en.'
Voice Lines
Appointed as Assistant | Doctor, we can't waste even a single minute of our precious lives! I mean, a minute be the difference in losing millions of dollars, you know? Huh? Coffee? I'll take it with a packet of sugar and lots of milk foam. Thanks! |
---|---|
Talk 1 | They say Rhodes Island is a criminal organization, full of infected people dirtying up the hallways. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Rhodes Island's Operators are giving their lives to make everything better for everyone, just like the Lungmen police! |
Talk 2 | Hey, do you think we could redesign the look of the instructor's office? We could at least add a bit of flavor to it like a handmade rug or some atomistic art. It's just so bland now. Dobermann says she doesn't care, but it's really killing my enthusiasm... |
Talk 3 | Ahhh, that awful Ch'en isn't here, is she? Back when we were in L.G.D. together, she gave me dirty looks every time we bumped into each other. It made me wonder if I'd really done something wrong! It made me think... maybe... I should take over the L.G.D. myself! |
Talk after Promotion 1 | Exercise, study, training, opposition research, and market forces... You need them all! |
Talk after Promotion 2 | My family let me leave behind the family business for a while. But it's clear to me that the future of Lungmen needs both a stable public sector and security apparatus, as well as a healthy business and financial system. On either side, I'm ready to be of service to Lungmen! |
Talk after Trust Increase 1 | The Lungmen bureaucracy is complicated. Keeping the peace, protecting the people, directing traffic, negotiating trade... Agh, it's absolutely backbreaking. But as long as what we do is good for Lungmen, I'll be, hehe, very pleased. |
Talk after Trust Increase 2 | Doctor, why is Rhodes Island's training course so short...? Insufficient capital? Unacceptable, I'm requesting an immediate transfer to the business office! It's-it's not that I like business, it's just that if you need me to do it, I'm... more than capable! |
Talk after Trust Increase 3 | You know, Doctor, Lungmen could use someone as talented as you. So, well... If you're not enjoying this line of work, there's plenty of opportunities in the banking and management sectors! I-I can get you a job! Oh? You'd rather we work with Rhodes Island? ...Fine! |
Idle | Uughh... I'm exhausted... Two shifts in a row is just... Ung... zzz... zzz... |
Onboard | I am Senior Superintendent of the Lungmen Police Department, Swire. I'll be joining Rhodes Island as a training consultant. Dr. {@nickname}, I'm looking forward to working with you for the future of Lungmen! |
Watching Battle Record | Hmm, so those tactics work pretty well like this huh! |
Promotion 1 | A promotion? But it doesn't do anything for me back in Lungmen, does it? Well, anyway, if you insist, I... I guess I have to accept! |
Promotion 2 | Maybe it's that you want to use me to improve your relationship with Lungmen. Or it could be you just need my talents. I guess it could be something else you want... I don't know exactly what it is, and I can't promise I can give it. But I'll follow you to the end. |
Added to Squad | You finally need my wisdom, huh! |
Appointed as Squad Leader | Follow my orders to the letter! |
Depart | Wipe them out in one fell swoop! It's cheaper that way! |
Begin Operation | Let's finish this quickly. My time is far too precious! |
Selecting Operator 1 | Huh? |
Selecting Operator 2 | I've seen through enemy's strategies! |
Deployment 1 | This isn't my only battlefield! |
Deployment 2 | You may be my rival, but you get a lesson too! |
In Battle 1 | Time is money! |
In Battle 2 | C'mon, let's move! |
In Battle 3 | Lungmen has its own pride! |
In Battle 4 | Time to sell! |
4-star Result | Fantastic! In battle as in business: high risk, high return! |
3-star Result | Capital is all mergers and acquisitions! Victory is all investigation and arrest! |
Sub 3-star Result | That was terrible! Awful! You can do better, can't you? We'll do it together. Don't give up! |
Operation Failure | How could this have happened? How could I... How could I have screwed that up! |
Assigned to Facility | Not bad... Wait, this room needs some renovation! |
Tap | H-how rude! |
Trust Tap | How... How about we have dinner together? M-my treat! |
Title | Arknights. |
Greeting | Doctor, ROAR! Just kidding. |
