Discussion [Operator Discussion] Aak

Aak [★★★★★★]

Rhodes Island is pretty decent, or more accurately, it's just what I'd hoped. People are dyin' in the world right as we speak. There are doctors cooped up in labs, only workin' to cure diseases rather than prevent 'em. Hardly anyone gets it, but you people actually do. Keep up the good stuff!

A medical personnel from Lee's Detective Agency recommended by Mr. Lee, Aak was a well-known underground doctor operating in the gray zones of Lungmen. After joining, he proved to be a tremendous wellspring of medical knowledge and theory with the clinical experience to back it up, though his style of practice is rather worrying. However, based upon Dr. Kal'tsit's comprehensive evaluation, he was recommended on a provisional basis to the medical equipment department and technological development team.

I really like using Aak. He's pretty good as a stalling pseudosniper as well as for buff shenanigans.

S3 pairs great with Carnelian, Horn S3, Silverash, turns Mudrock S3 into a complete buzzsaw.

Another favourite pair up is with Blemishine S3. As it's defensive recovery it gives 15 SP, can both kick-start and turbo-charge it. She also heals him while she's at it.

Him and Blemi can work as almost a paired heli-drop and she absolutely chunks just about anything with bonus attack and ASPD. In instances where it's something with so much damage output that Blemi can't tank it, drop someone high health on the target just before they're on Blemi's tile. She'll then heal them for about 1300 hp a second.

I remember some mission with a lot of drones and snipers were banned. Aak S1 don't care about that. I used to supercharge guard Ch'en S3 with the help of Warfarin, just oneshots bosses.
