This new update of Arknights is huge and includes so many things! There will be new skins, new operators, new story content, free daily Sanity (energy) and more! This is a super event and will propel you forward in progress of operators and Story.
We will breakdown each part of the event from New Operators to New Store section to New Story content. Check below for full details on them all.
New Operators + Free 5 ★
This event has fresh new operators coming with it and they are pretty good. First off, you’ll be able to obtain Grani, a 5 ★ operator, pretty much for free. All you need to do to get Grani is to clear Operation GT-3 once. Also, by doing the Side Story you will be able to obtain Bounty Coin which you can use at the Exchange Shop to buy Grani’s Token. More on the Exchange Shop below! (GT-6 Guide Here)
Midnight, Beehunter, Nightmare, and Skadi are the new operators that will be joining us. They all have their uses and are great additions to the roster. Check back on this site for the Operator analysis of each of them, coming soon!
New Operator Outfits!
New outfits are out and if you’re a fan of Texas, Specter, or Courier then you need to check it out! Also, go there to claim your free Hibiscus Outfit. The Night Watcher outfit looks amazing on her and makes me want to use her more now. Make sure you cleared all your story missions so that you can get the maximum amount of Originite Primes.
Limited Time Furniture!
If pizza is your thing then you gotta go collect the themed furniture “Express Chain Pizzeria”. If you want the full set you’re going to have to do the event and get the drops. Which shouldn’t be too hard since you will be farming stages to get stuff in the Exchange Shop.
Exchange Shop
There will be a new section of the Store where you can use the rewards from the side story to get Grani, Furniture, Headhunting Permits, Battle Records, and high level materials. The way to get to the Exchange Shop is to go to Combat and next to Annihilation click Knights’ Treasure. Then click on the Clearing House and the thing that looks like Coins.
There you will find the Exchange Shop and Side Mission. Complete all of the Side Mission tasks and farm the stages to get more coins. Try to buy as much from the Exchange Shop as you can! Don’t worry about the GT-EX and GT-HX stages for now as they will come in Part 2. Part 2 is available starting from February 12, 2020 to February 19, 2020.
The most important things would be the Grani Tokens and the materials you need to E2 your operators.
If you want to buy out the entire Shop you will need 74,235 Bounty Coins, which is totally possible with the free Sanity they are giving every day. Also clearing all the Side Missions will give you 9,200 Bounty Coins. Happy Farming!
Grani and the Knights’ Treasure Stages
Part 1 of Grani and the Knights’ Treasure will have 6 stages. (GT-1 to GT-6) They are relatively easy with GT-6 being the hardest. Check out our Guide on GT-6 if you need help clearing it.
For Every Sanity spent you will gain Bounty Coins. That means clearing GT-6 which cost 15 Sanity, rewarding you 150 Bounty Coins.
Since you will get the same ratio of Sanity to Bounty Coins no matter what stage you do, the stage to grind should be the one that has the materials you need. GT-5 offers the best drop rates for Loxic Kohl, so you might want to consider grinding that stage if you don’t know which one to do.
Also if you want to gain more trust with Grani and Skadi quickly then use them on your roster. They will gain 50% more trust for clearing a stage in this event.
