Arknights: Is Ch’en Worth Pulling?

The new event coming out is coming with a new banner. The Ch’en banner is going to be alongside the Eyjafjalla banner and the question is, should you pull for Ch’en?

The short answer is YES! This banner is super important and is worth it alongside the Eyjafjalla banner. 

Ch’en Banner

The upcoming banner will include operators like Ch’en, Swire, FEater, Greyy, Spot, and Popukar. Aside from FEater these will all be new operators added to the pool. The most important operator would have to be the featured Ch’en!

Eyjafjalla or Ch’en?

Eyjafjalla is another banner available that will be alongside the Ch’en one. The question is, which banner is the one you should spend your Orundum on? 

Personally if you really only have to pick one, then I would choose Eyjafjalla. This is only because AoE Casters can be used in almost every stage and place. Guards have a more specialized role comparatively and so Eyjafjalla makes more sense. If you can though you should really try and go for both. Ch’en is a beast in her own right and is worth your Orundum as well.

How to use Ch’en


Ch’en is an operator who excels in a fight. She is best used to take out big boss enemies and other high HP enemies. She should be used in the frontline or behind a defender so that she can do maximum damage.
