"Al-Rafiq" ("companion" in Arabic) is a boss enemy in the Reclamation Algorithm game mode of Arknights. He is one of three possible final bosses of Fire Within the Sand.
Description
- Elite armored corps of a Lord Ameer operating their self-assembled armor. Its self-destruct system is the only part they are unsatisfied with, and it is obvious they care more about their beloved machine than the Lord Ameer's orders.
- Can only be blocked by units with 2 Block or higher; after attacking 3 times, the next attack deals massive physical splash damage; when defeated in mech form, its pilot jumps out to repair the mech, dealing physical damage to and stunning nearby friendly units for a few seconds. In its second form, the pilot does not attack nor move, becomes Invisible, and reflects physical damage while repairing the mech. After some time, they return to the mech and it returns to its first form.
Overview
A powered armor operated by its own creator, a Sargonian Archosauria panzergrenadier who served Ibut's Lord Ameer but cares more for his machine than his duty, Al-Rafiq boasts monumental HP alongside high ATK and DEF to make him an extremely threatening foe, although his RES is much lower. In addition, he has the following abilities to compound his strength, including the ability to potentially infinitely prolong the fight.
- Al-Rafiq spawns as the powered armor with the following properties:
- Counted as two enemies when blocked.
- A special attack used every fourth attack where Al-Rafiq winds up and swings at the target with its arms, dealing Physical damage equal to 3× its ATK to the target and friendlies within 0.8 tiles.
- When the powered armor's HP is reduced to 0, it explodes to deal Physical damage equal to its ATK towards friendly units in a radius of 1.5 tiles around it and Stunning them for 10 seconds. Afterwards, Al-Rafiq's pilot will bail out over 3.5 seconds (during which he is invulnerable) and starts repairing the powered armor over 30 seconds, during which he has the following properties:
- Has 20% of the powered armor's HP.
- Does not move and attack.
- Invisible.
- Friendly units attacking the pilot will receive Physical damage equal to 50% of his ATK.
- Should the pilot successfully repair the powered armor, he will enter it over 1.7 seconds and Al-Rafiq reverts into the powered armor phase with fully restored HP.
Al-Rafiq will deduct no less than 30 Life Points if it manages to enter a Protection Objective, instantly compromising the operation.
Appearances
Al-Rafiq will lead the Lord Ameer's Attack in place of the Dauntless Linebreaker if the player had completed the Ending 3 questline.
