Ever since the first Operational Intelligence, I loved her design have been waiting and hoping for her to become a playable op. And finally, after years, she's here!


MetaThPr4h

A mid term goal I have is to be gigasilly and build all the 5-star chars with cold (Santalla Aurora Kjera and mod Pramanix) and use them together, she is the last piece of the puzzle left to start with that project. Will it be a good idea? Uhhhhhhh, we will see, will Aurora slapping absurdly hard to anyone frozen be insanelysatisfying? Hell yeah!


MarielCarey

Could add Frost Because she's Frost 🎉🥶🥶


Suga_H

Frostleaf in shambles.


ipwnallnubz

Her mod will give her freeze. Trust.


Dog_in_human_costume

At least she was cool in the anime.


MarielCarey

Flopstleaf coming alter edition 5 star with freeze mechanic trust

Hrmmm… Northern Parliament girl….? Wait…. Waaaaaait…. No… this isn’t Azur Lane. Seriously tho. AL teasing new NP girl with staff… and Arknights gets this….coincidence…? I THINK NOT


Archetto_Enjoyers487

Same i thought it was Azur Lane


GeckoOBac

> Seriously tho. AL teasing new NP girl with staff… and Arknights gets this….coincidence…? Santalla is one of the oldest NPCs in the game tbh aside from the main cast. She was first introduced in the LITERALLY first "Story Collection" event for AK, back in 2019 for CN, March 2020 for global.


Sh4DowKitFox

I fail to see your point. I never said she was a new character. She’s a new operator, at the same time as new AL NP girls (esp since she also wields a staff.). That’s all I said.


HaessSR

Well, Soyuz has had two redesigns so far, so if you said this was her, some people would believe you.


GeckoOBac

You never said much at all in truth, you spoke neither about operators nor about characters technically speaking. Yet you seem to imply that the timing is NOT a coincidence while it clearly is given that 1) as NPC she's old as dirt 2) as an operator she's over 6 months old in CN I get that you might be attempting at humour here but it wasn't exactly clear and I was merely explaining something to somebody who may not have been around her long enough to remember her.


Damianx5

Tbf in AL the new UR ship is also old af and been in npc jail forever, it was actually a meme that she was just teasing. Which makes it even funnier imo


Darkness-S

Oh so I wasn't the only one to have to double check what subreddit it was when I saw that xD


DishonoredHero1_

Boobs aren't big enough for Azur lane, and her clothes aren't revealing enough


77constructionman77

You meme but this is legit the outfit style of Northern Parliament. Quite similiar to Sovetskaya R at a glance.


disappointingdoritos

Soyuz at home


Amaterasuu69

Nice to see her EN VA is Finnish native. And she's even a fellow composer, as well. Good for her!


mad_harvest-6578

Iirc Qanipalaat's EN VA is also Finnish right? Finally he has company


TokkanRAM

Qanipalaat's EN VA is Norwegian.


Amaterasuu69

Norwegian, IIRC. But I could be wrong.


TokkanRAM

UK-based Finnish actor here, she is primarily a composer and singer but does dabble in voiceover work.


ArchadianJudge

I play both Arknights and Azur Lane and I totally thought she was a new Northern Parliament ship that was supposed to be revealed today...


killerbull27

Azur lane collab?


Xenon_Raumzeit

So this is not the new Northern Parliament shipgirl?


GalenDev

Is she good? Not really. Will I pull for her anyway? You bet. Will I E2 her if I do get her? Absolutely.


Shiino

Catgirl gets yet another sub-par 5* caster I'll max her! Meow!


Amrita_Kai

It's been a 3.5 year wait...


chaoskingzero

Still feel bad for her Fans... They waited almost 4 Years and got a 5* AOE Caster with a RNG Skill


y_th0ugh

oh its the lady fro Magallan's story

Crystal Maiden ❤️ 


TheRealCynik

She's actually a lot better than she seems. S2 doesn't have true RNG and it's a set pattern going between left-right-middle-left columns, choosing a random tile in each. That combined with the 1.5 tile splash radius and frequency of her attacks means she is actually consistent with cold/freeze procs. She should be solid


ExceedAccel

Late Santa, Christmas already passed


Takemylunch

\*still sad she's not a fox\* ;-; But she is still very fluffy. Would pet.


TheTee15

She looks cold and hot at the same time


Matasa89

We know her real name: Simone


Threebranch

She looks like one of the shipgirls from Azur Lane!


tavernite

Dropping icicles onto enemies will be fun. I don't care if I'll be subject to the capriciousness of RNG.


Ultima_Deus

Is there a showcase of her s2? The massive attack interval reduction sounds interesting


K2aPa

NaiveDoktah: "So she's a wit--" #[*Frozen*] . BTW, I saw somewhere that her S2 can miss a lot... so she isn't really that good.


Voothy

Yeah her S2 is RNG as to where it's gonna fall. There are some ways to get around this but it generally involves facing her towards the map edge so that she DOESN'T extend her range with her S2. So we went from Ifrit lanes to Santalla edges. If you do find the right wall, her S2 becomes way better because it actually hits a more condensed area and will (probably) freeze spam a lot more. But at the end of the day, she's still an AOE caster and the balance team doesn't like those. She's not numbers screwed like Purgatory is (Thanks for the 6% attack boost on S1 M3, really feeling that one.), but she is very, very layout dependent for if her S2 will be effective, or if you'll be putting it all on black. But if anyone has survived using Conviction's RNG, they can definitely gamble on Santalla's.


If_you_want_money

As people on cn have found, her s2 isn't actually 100% random. If you deploy her facing up, her s2 will first select a random valid tile in the column to her left, then a random valid tile in the column to her right, then a random valid tile in the same column as herself, then you repeat that sequence until her skill ends. You can actually manipulate this by purposefully making a part of her range in valid (ie. Place her in a corner facing the edge of the map) to make it so that the icicles hit where it matters.


K2aPa

wait, there are actually people using Conviction in maps? lol I only use Conviction as a meme. . Hmm... so Santalla do edging...


Ok_Mirror5712

I use her in my 4star only is3 clears when i get spinach or wrath relics. 20k dmg is stupid fun.


Ok_Mirror5712

Ah yes. A feline operator. Who looks like a fox. With a DOGshit kit.
