Arknight recruit tags—the place where you can get operators pretty much for free! If you hire the right way you can even end up with a 6 ★. Since it is not intuitive you might be clicking whatever you want in the Job tags section. This is WRONG, please stop doing this as you reduce your chances at getting specific operators.
When recruiting the most important thing are the Tags. If you ever see Top Operator you must choose it! This will give you a 6 ★ that is in the pool. The Senior Operator tag will give you a 5 ★.
Important Tags
Since tags are the determining factor when it comes to Recruiting properly, it is important to know the rare and important ones. I will list the special tags that can get you a 6, 5, or 4 ★. You only need to select the specific tag and set it to 9 hours to get the operator.
6★
- Top Operator – Siege, Shining, Nightingale, Ifrit, Exusiai, SilverAsh, Hoshiguma, Saria
5★
- Senior Operator – Texas, Zima, Ptilopsis, Silence, Warfarin, Projekt Red, Manticore, Cliffheart, Feater, Provence, Blue Poison, Firewatch, Meteorite, Platinum, Pramanix, Mayer, Specter, Indra, Nearl, Liskarm, Vulcan, Croissant.
- Summon Tag – Mayer
- Nuker – Firewatch
- Crowd Control – Texas, Projekt Red, Mayer
- Shift – Cliffheart, Feater, Croissant, Rope, Shaw
Should look something like this! Make sure you set for 9 hours!
If you get this combination, you will get yourself Siege! An amazing 6 ★ Vanguard.

Best Recruiting Advice
Check out this site for a Recruitment Calculator and you’ll never have a problem with recruiting again. ( https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/akhr.html )
Whenever your hiring is done and you get a fresh set of tags. Go to this site and select all the tags given to you. The site will show you all the available operators you can get with each combination of tags. For example check out the images below.
Notice how the selected tags match the tags given to me by the game. Now below you’ll see the combination of tags that will give you a certain operator. DP-Recovery and DPS will give you the chance at either Scavenger, Vigna, or Plume. Increase your time to the highest (9 hours) for the best chance at a higher tier unit.
Expedited Plan
There are a lot of questions when it comes to when to use these but honestly just use them whenever you want. If you want a fresh set of tags and have no refreshes then use them.
Recruitment is not limitless, you are bound by the limits of having Recruit Permits. But if you max out on credits and buy them from the shop while doing your dailies you should have a good amount of them. They also appear in the Certificate Shop.
Duplicates and Tokens
When you get duplicates of an operator you will receive a Token that you can use to increase the Potential of the operator. Increasing is free and will give you bonus stats such as ATK, lower DP Cost, and lower Redeployment Cost.
Once you reach the maximum amount of Potential and have extra Tokens you can take them to the Certificate Shop in the Store and on the bottom left you’ll see Token. Click that and you’ll be able to exchange your Token for Qualification Certificates which will allow you to buy stuff in Commendations section of the Certificate Shop.
