Aak

Aak is a unique 6-star operator in the game Arknights, classified as a Specialist with the unique Archetype of Geek. He is known for his unusual mechanics, constantly losing HP and being able to buff allies by attacking them. Aak's skills include increasing attack speed, defense, and max HP, as well as increasing attack and attack speed. While these buffs are powerful, it's crucial to note that Aak attacks allies when using his skills, which could lead to their incapacitation. Therefore, careful planning and sufficient healing support are needed to utilize Aak. He is considered a high-risk, high-reward support/DPS character, suitable for experienced players. Aak's codename, "A," is the Cantonese romanization of "ā", which, when combined with Hung's codename, forms the Chinese term "阿吽" (ā hōng), representing the sound "Om". His character design is inspired by Chinese guardian lions (shishi) or komainu, which can be seen in his Elite 2 artwork. Aak has an eccentric personality and a history as a black market doctor, which makes his actions and philosophies quite unconventional.
