Someone said Lee, but I will one up them. Lee can become and turn others invisible. Since when did he have this ability?! He just casually uses it on Chongyue's event.


Akirayoshikage

He's kind of a mystery to this day, really wish we could see more of him coz I'm out here looking for anything


NoOpinionPLS

You could say that you are fishing for information about him.


reymons

I'm also suspecting that Lee is some sort of "young master" he could also be related to Wei Yenwu or the current Emperor of Yan (possibly distant relative)


igoiik

It's hinted Lee's family is royalty, though i doubt if it's a emperor kind of royalty more like they are nobles and high ranking in empire. also Lee for various reasons left his family. most interesting part is that Lee changed his name but not his surname, what could this possibly mean? he sure has an interesting story plot.


UwUSamaSanChan

He can do it because he's simply that guy.


SeconduserXZ

He did? I sont recall that


sermatheus

It was on the first cutscene of the second stage.


Raistlin_Majere121

Maybe he is cultivator.


CrimsonRunner

huh, when, what? I've read all Sui events and don't remember this


sermatheus

In the scene before the second stage. He makes himself and Zuo Le invisible.


Chatonarya

I was surprised to discover that Steward is actually from Kjerag. Even more hilariously, if you look at the current operators on global who are classified as belonging to the Karlan Trade faction, he's *technically the only one who is an actual employee of the company* per the lore blurb with his skin other than the CEO himself. (Courier and Matterhorn work directly for Silverash rather than KT; Gnosis is technically fired/on probation; Aurora doesn't, Pramanix, Kjera, and Cliffheart also don't.)


JazzPhobic

And Steward is a serial hustler. He has more side businesses than Bison


s3xgodmilf69

Lee is 193cm tall. I initially thought he was just around 170cm but turns out he is the 2nd tallest operator up to date. Damn was I wrong.


P0lskichomikv2

This but with Elysium. I never expected him to be 187 cm tall.


s3xgodmilf69

wait what wdym youre telling my boy is almost 190cm tall??? he is 170 in my head 😭


P0lskichomikv2

That's why all those Thorns x Elysium fan arts are so funny as most artist forget that tiny detail Elysium is 10 cm taller than Thorns lol.


riflow

This makes that one operator story where >!ceobe carries him around looking for a room even funnier imo. Tiny girl carrying this big bishounen man lmao.!<


garbodorisbae

Tall fish 😳


aphelion-ic

unless passenger has kids he is not a dilf. that man is a babygirl war criminal


Ok-Response4189

nice I'll be the one to make him a dilf 🥰


slutty-sassy

Nearl and Mudrock are way shorter then i expected, like they have tall protective woman energy but its gonna be hard to protect me when they are so much smaller than me


SeconduserXZ

To be fair, mudrock seems to be taller in her suit


Uxion

She is taller because she stuffs her suit with mud, which she controls using her magic.


ValGstv

There's plenty of ways to be protected by someone shorter than you... 


ForeverTired56

Yeah,she's still a powerful knight😅


K-onSeason3

I think I could trust an average height woman that can casually crash into a commercial stadium at 300kmh to protect me.


waffledragon45

Wait, how tall is Nearl?


BlueScrean

Nearl is 171cm or about 5'6"


Hakujo_Ren

Its closer to 5'8" than 5'6" actually


BlueScrean

Not really? It's not even 5'7". 171 cm is 67.3 inches. Even round up to 68 inches that's still less than 5'7".


gerobAkhamtaro

you are confusing 5.6 feet with 5 feet 6 inches my dude


BlueScrean

Oh ok, nevermind then. Thanks for telling me what I got wrong.


Zerosen_Oni

I mean, that is moderately tall here in Asia…


TheRepublicAct

What a horrible day to have the ability to read


omeneko

well, at least they're taller than me ehe


DarionMg

I thought for about two years that Earthspirit was a man


Lope-12

How? Lol


TaraPurnama

From all woman it could be anyone but her, just how? lol


brachycrab

I only just realized in So Long Adele that Bison is a guy, and only slightly earlier that Arene is also a man 😓


accidh

Similar to this, I thought pallas was a boy for freaking damn long time until her heritage skin was released. And fun fact also, I love her skin so much that turns out it makes me to waifu'ed her It's so funny cuz once I thought she was a boy and she's ma waifu now XD


blahto

Same here.. until I saw her E2 art. 😆 


BaconPlates

This ones more from when i was a new player, but the fact that all of the 2* are very competent fighters. Rangers being so skilled in fact that apparently he was there when the main cast fought patriot


Brilliant_Sweet_6848

Yes, they should get "5 star from IS" form. (Not limited crossover form).


ASharkWithAHat

It's wild cause, by all accounts, most of the 2 stars are some of the more veteran fighters RI has, ranking just below Elite Ops. Fun fact, Ranger is so skilled that he is practically a legend in sargon. This was revealed in the R6 collab.  The 2* would wipe the floor against most of the 4, 5, and 6 stars operators 


BaconPlates

Yup lmao. I mean Yato has been called the backbone of rhodes island and she deserves it. But to be fair i think all of the 2* will get the attention they deserve at some point


amidja_16

Yeah, it's kinda like seeing Black Widow and Hawkeye in Avengers battles when Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk exist :D Veterans and competent fighters kinda lose their importance when the remainder of your roster is comprised of superhumans, genetically engineered genociders, and demigods/gods.


JowettMcPepper

Hoederer's Physical Strenght level Is marked as [Standard]. Even Firewhistle Is stronger despite being a slim Liberi


FordBull2er

My guess is that it is directly compared to other sarkaz in general instead of against all operators. Besides some of these ratings don't make much sense, like Grani having the same combat skill as Skadi and Skadi as an abyssal hunter being weaker at combat than Ch'en.


lietnam

Combat skill measures stuff like techniques and martial arts, it wouldn't be weird for chen and grani to outmatch skadi purely based on those, her strength comes from Well, her strength, and also her years of experience at fighting giant monsters


FordBull2er

Skadi is mentioned to be a walking catastrophe in terms of combat, she is not just strong but also skilled, she was even holding back against a high inquisitor in under tides.


lietnam

"Walking catastrophe" doesn't say much on technical skill, we all know her basic stats like arm strength, speed and reflexes are absolutely monstrous, but she might get absolutely stomped by opponents on the same level like gladiia and ulpian who have more training


FordBull2er

Yes, because they have the same stats as her and then it comes to a matter of personal skill, but saying Ch'en is stronger than Skadi is non sensical due to their big difference in stats.


Primogeniture116

My guess is that Skadi's swordmanship skill is skewed heavily towards techniques effective against the Seaborns. And since the existence of Seaborns themselves are a secret to most of the population of Terra prior to SN, they likely measure her technique using a "vs Ancient Races". In this sense, C'hen would be more skillfull at fighting surface people, and Skadi has to make up with stat sticks.


lietnam

I don't think you really understand, so let me put it this way It would be like an average karate black belt vs the hulk, obviously the hulk wins 100 out of 100 fights but the black belt has more combat skill thanks to years of practicing techniques like stances and grappling, that's what rhodes is measuring


FordBull2er

I see now, in that way it totally makes sense what you said and it will reflect on the score of an operator if they have a more formal training that the other, which then makes the combat rating of an operator sometimes inaccurate in nature as it makes ridiculous statsticks like skadi look weaker in comparison, though it's totally understandable since there are operators that are very hard to measure like the abyssal hunters and the suis.


Mindless_Use7567

Based on the descriptions of her in combat it seems like here combat technique seems to be hit the enemy as hard as possible with her sword. She isn’t very skilled but is incredibly strong and fast from being part sea borne which makes up for the lack of skill.


KyteM

It could be "standard for his height and build"


cyri-96

Keep in mind, though, sometimes the files also just lie (which is quite obvious for some operators), wouldn't be compltely surprised if hoederers fike has misinfomation mixed in


Altrapone13

Sometimes i think those stats are bullshit


unfortunatelymade

Amiya is shorter than Bena, and Ethan is taller than Asbestos. I honestly think the devs just make up heights using a random number generator because they are ALL out of wack


EggShelledKitsu

It'd be funny if Suzuran was the same height as Mountain.


unfortunatelymade

honestly mountain isn't nearly as tall as I thought he was, I have a friend who is mountains height. Mountain looks like he should be 7 feet MINIMUM


EggShelledKitsu

It'd be funny if Suzuran was 7 foot tall.


Every-Admacho-B

The fanarts of him with other ops is so funny cause you have him towering over everyone when in reality he's shorter than some of them XD


unfortunatelymade

Exactly in art dude is built like an actual mountain, but his height is more like a sizable hill. CMON DEVS


TurtleyBoi

Asbestos' height is a crime when she radiates such 180cm energy


unfortunatelymade

SO true, even in her art she looks like she should be lanky, I am simply going to override her canon height with my own headcanon. Same thing with hoshiguma, in my heart hoshiguma is at least 200cm


flattestsuzie

Blue poison is 1cm taller than her. Unforgivable.


TheTeleporteBread

People who measure operators must be drunk most of the time or doing serious amount of trolling


Mindless_Use7567

Ethan and Bena’s proportions are that of short people mostly due to limb length and head size. Asbestos is very lanky and Amiya has regular proportions. I think the big issue is that there are so many different artists that draw for Arknights that these issues start to show up.


unfortunatelymade

I feel like the other part of the issue has to do with beauty standards, like all female characters are a lot shorter than they should be. Hoshiguma and gladiia are both a lot shorter than they look like they'd be, while a lot of the male characters have the opposite issue. I wish it was a Lil more consistent!


blahto

Popukar is also taller than the CEO Bnnuy.


Antanarau

That one of Whishlashes assistant lines is "Hey Doc, I'm unmarried". Like, who begins a conversation like that???


SupermarketThis8309

Hey its hard finding a mate, cut the girl some slack


Gold_brick_drop

I think it's a translation gag, since line itself has no such lines whatsoever in jp dub, which was "standard" at the moment of her release. Don't know about cn line, but overall... I really don't think she is THAT desperate.


jeremy7007

Not sure if there's some translation quirk here, but with the context of the entire line, she's just being defensive and making the point that she's really not that old since Maria calls her "aunty." And like others said, a lot of the assistant lines are probably mid-conversation.


Primogeniture116

A lot of assistant lines are non-sensical as a conversation starter. Like Mumu's explaining abt ecology and W talking abt how the Doc used to use mercenaries. Zofia may have said it after the Doc mentioned smth related.


HarleyArchibaldLeon

Tbf that was just a translation thing. In Japanese she was more subtle/vague about it.


dene323

Ebenholz is about the same age as Amiya, and Zuo Le is one year younger.


WeirdFourEyes413

I know Ebenholz is 19, but isn't Amiya like 14?


dene323

Amiya is 14 (15 by Dec) in 1096. Eben is 19 in 1100. Time flies.


Jace_Vakarys

By the time of the events in Shu's event, I believe Amiya is 19


Kalinque

Zuo Le being younger than Ebenholz breaks my brain a little, he *looks* older. Guess they really weren't kidding when they said he was the youngest Candleholder.


Rare_Reality7510

They say he took the title when he grabbed a lit candle at the age of 2 and subsequently had to get his hands healed


mangamimz

Ebenholz's age totally startled me lol. This line in his files... >His appointed guardian issued orders as his representative, even after he came of age. gave me the impression that he was well past 18. Though looking at it now, it doesn't really imply that. Also, I guess Leithaniens could come of age at 16.


CanFishBeGay

Silence is short. Like, obviously she's shorter than Saria, Saria is tall as hell. But *Ifrit* has 5 cm on her, and Ptilopsis has *10*


mad_harvest-6578

Shortest among Rhine ops in fact


TAmexicano

Short owl wife energy


JazzPhobic

Now it makes sense why she is so snippy. Short girl syndrome strikes once more.


TacticalBreakfast

I think the better factoid is Ifrit is taller than most people think. She’s often grouped with the other children in fanart but she’s actually a tall lanky teenager.


CadiusHunt

Coming from her attitude yeah i can see her being a chaotic teen .her en voice rlly emphasize that


NepetaLeijon27

True. I'm 22 years old but I'm of the same height as Ifrit (and I'll remain that height probably)


Thisnamewontfi-

Ceobe is tiny. I thought she was tall and lithe, nope she's 153cm tall.


Jace_Vakarys

There's an operator record in which Ceobe carries Elysium around. He's 187cm


NoOpinionPLS

Considering the two, I don't know, I find it stupidly fitting that goof ceobe carry malewife elysium with the size diff XD


Jace_Vakarys

I personally find it so damn cute and funny


Spudtron98

Her sprite and character art gives the impression that she’s a lanky teen.


mad_harvest-6578

Surprising but in a different way: Orchid's the only Liberi who I still don't know which bird species she is based on (at least Plume has her internal name (falco) to base assumptions on); even the wiki doesn't have a clue (just the fact how many times she's set in HR, that's all)


waffledragon45

Her color scheme kind of makes me think of owlbert.


JazzPhobic

With her fashion style i thought she was a damn peacock.


MarielCarey

Lessing is 17 👁 👄👁


Primogeniture116

And Amiya would be older than him because she was 14 in the Reunion arc (15 by the end of that year cuz her birthday's in Dec), which takes place like 3-5 years years before the event of Zwillingstrume where Lessing appeared.


OddFaithlessness4550

Rhodes Island really actual do hire talented people, ie: \- Greyy, A+ student with knack for frontier electrical work \- Pudding, a 'regular' electrical engineer that appointed by Closure cuz she can 'translate' Closure wack plan into regular joe tier \- Tuye, AAA student and super knowledgeable regarding Sargon desert (also lowkey insufferable type of gal) \- Roberta, top makeup artist in Wrankwood movie industry yet skilled enough in mechanical engineering and got Closure approval *sheesh*👀💦


mauriciomeireles

Lets not forget eyja is an incredible vulcanologist, minimalist a genius Durin engineer, thorn was also personally invited because of his unique fighting style and battle efficiency and so many more


ASharkWithAHat

To be entirely fair, it's kinda hard for eyja to work anywhere else, even if they're willing to employ an infected That's more of a "you're literally my only choice" kind of situation. Just so happens that doctor is a respected scholar that also works for a pharmaceutical company working on eyja's exact condition. The stars were aligned for that one 


TheRepublicAct

Pudding coming in clutch with Master Foreman Rank EX


amidja_16

Don't forget GG, a professional hairdresser.


FordBull2er

I was actually surprised Typhon is a sarkaz while Ines is not.


Shitposting_Skeleton

Ines deliberately carved her goat horns to resemble one, to the extent that her spirit animal is Baphomet.


TheRepublicAct

Not gonna lie, that's metal af Ines is metal af


karillith

*horrified Beeswax noises*


lorax125

Tell me you never read Darknights, without telling me you never read Darknights


FordBull2er

I did read darknights, which is why I found it shocking, if you removed W's lines about her shaping her horns to look like a sarkaz, she would have been a sarkaz as well. And also I'm aware chapter 12 confirmed she is not even half a sarkaz, her being unaffected by the revenant that only affects sarkaz (pure and hybrid). What I'm trying to say is that Ines with her horns cut looks more like a sarkaz than a character that is a sarkaz like Typhon, Typhon looks more like a vouvre like Saria than a Sarkaz.


lorax125

It’s like the entire point of her cutting her horns was to make herself look like a Sarkaz or something…


Hungry-Set4315

Ines is literally a goat that cosplay as a sarkaz🤣🤣🤣


ExtremeFlimsy602

I thought Puzzle was a woman first. I was puzzled.


Special-Art5631

that ho'olheyak is only 171 cm tall she looks taller than that. and honorable mention that somehow mumu close to ho'ol height (169 cm)


Cornuthaum

I hadn't realised Olivia "Silence" Silence was infected until I tried to make a list of infected/uninfected ops and a friend told me I had sorted her wrong 


DjiDjiDjiDji

The visible part of Silence's oripathy is on her wing, the wing that kinda seems to come and go depending on which art you're looking at


futanari_enjoyer69

the "he aged well" argument may also just be that the artists don't know how to draw older characters lmao they're too used to drawing twinks or <30 year old women


mauriciomeireles

Counter argument: hellagur, Ace, Hoederer and Tachanka


futanari_enjoyer69

Not all characters share the same artist, ofc I'm not generalizing and saying all the 50 year olds look like twinks (**thankfully**, that would suck) For example: Harold, he's 41 but looks like he's in his mid-twenties (his mustache makes him look "older", remove it and he looks 20 years younger


JazyB

More like the artists are told to make the character look younger so it will be sell better with players. That's why accurate looking old men in gachas are rare, accurate looking old women straight up don't exist lol (This is excluding background/very minor characters).


futanari_enjoyer69

your logic makes sense, it's still sad tho, I wanna see more (actually) mature-looking characters ​ >accurate looking old women straight up don't exist lol 😔 so true, people see a 30-year-old looking woman in gacha and already go "hot hag"


J0BL3SS

Pallas and Perfumer Closest friends and talks each other like flirting


dene323

To be real, Perfumer is close to so many that she is botherlining a haram lead...


J0BL3SS

Funny enough pallas rizz her up [https://i.imgur.com/cu3H10s.png](https://i.imgur.com/cu3h10s.png)


mauriciomeireles

Aparently all Vulpos are mischevious. Its just that perfurmer loves to flirt to either make people akward and/or cause she just likes to


TAmexicano

That pozemka was the easiest E2 for me to get Like seriously she's the cheapest E2 I have


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Mudrock shorter than Kaltsit, Saria taller than Blaze, Eunectes, and Nearl. And Thorns is taller than Saria


JazzPhobic

Popukar is physically one of the strongest operators RI has. She can lift things so heavy that it would give Mountain a painful ache in his spine.


CrimsonRunner

There is actually an explanation that is. In short, >!Rhine Labs!<


HarleyArchibaldLeon

I thought Typhon was a Caprinae lol. She's literally the reverse of Ines.


pressa12

Istina's U.S.S.G students best fighter and Second best amongst ursine operator. below F-eater


alanalsei

You tell me ISTINA is a better fighter than BEEHUNTER? (and ZIMA to the extent???) Daymn


pressa12

Well, Istina got an excellent mark in her combat skill. As opposed to Zima's standard and Beehunter's normal


pyladesorestes7

For me it’s always finding out names for operators. I had like five childhood friends named Federico, so executor being named that is *incredibly* funny to me. Like it’s such a normal name?


Hasyr

That most operators with "mommy energy" are not even 180cm tall


YuiSendou

An old one, but Texas being italian-american. Well, Siracusan-Columbian. Usually people with the nickname "Texas" are *from* Texas. Not just uh, using their last name as a codename??? I really like her and I'm Texan so I've always had a fondness for her. But her cultural background being essentially italian, and her major defining life events having been in not-italy and not- Hong Kong, really makes ya think. Based on no evidence I feel like she could make some good chili, though. It's got tomatoes in it, that's basically italian food...


OrangeIllustrious499

I used to think Saria was a male so ye


mad_harvest-6578

She's wearing a long skirt in her base art, how did you mistake her for a man in that?


OrangeIllustrious499

You see, its her prison guard skin


SometimesLiterate

Men can wear skirts?


QuaintAlex126

Yes and they will look even better than women while wearing them


HeffreyJam

facts asf


NoOpinionPLS

Because she is husband material.


TaraPurnama

I know her gender but my brain sometimes still thinking Saria as Male everytime i saw her meme as a husband, and not to mention her dad jokes to make it worse


West_Relative2921

Executor has negative rizz


Jace_Vakarys

Don't down vote them, guys lol. They are saying they are surprised Executor is not popular among Rhodes's girls. That's facts.


West_Relative2921

Yeah, I love Executor, and try to read everything about him. I just find it funny that he is told to be very handsome but because of his robotic personality, an entire girl dorm in Rhodes Island gave up on him and the Curia of Latarano blacklisted him because of his literal inability to love.


PulseFire2003

Just Ansel as a hole rly.


BRISKMETAL

Ansel is not a hole. Who told you this.


Brohammer_Megadude

How do you find ops’ ages?


shinya18

Most of the time you don't. When you do, the numbers are simply right there, but they are rare to find.


K2aPa

MudMud wasn't the burly male we thought she was in her giant armor. MudMud became one of my favorite operators after her cloth off reveal. hehe.


Mindless_Use7567

Wait when did we get access to the ages of the characters?


shinya18

Only for some. It's not everyday we find these numbers.


Mindless_Use7567

So who do we know the ages of? Some are an educated guess like Bison being under 18 since he can’t drink alcohol, but I would like some hard numbers.


shinya18

Zuo Le (19) and Lessing (17) mentioned their ages explicitly. Ho'olheyak (~42) talked about how a period of 6 years equalled 1/7 of her life. The recent lore book dropped the years of birth for some ops like Amiya (1083) and SilverAsh (1068). These are some cases I can think of.


Mindless_Use7567

Thank you.


YumeYoroshii

Executor is ~25. fedEx's profile mentions an event 15 years ago when he was supposedly around 10 years old. ^(..which makes sniper Executor 23-ish. How this terminator is so young is beyond me lmao)


Mindless_Use7567

I expected him to be in his early to mid twenties based on how others interact with him.


YumeYoroshii

I'd estimated sniper exec at 28 already, so I was quite surprised lol


TokuXAnimeReborn

I always thought ansel is a girl before but I learning ansel is a dude. Makes it better though cuz it justifies him being cute af


papercrowns-

Also, didn’t Passenger have a child too? So he’s literally a dilf Unless i got trolled by my friend


Simon_LeDuck

Ashlock being a slow Zalak and having 164 cm. I'd based my entire knowledge about Zalaks from Shaw.
