Utage

Utage is a 4-star Guard operator in the game Arknights. Originating from Higashi, she is a fashion-loving exchange student who joins Rhodes Island after contracting Oripathy due to an accident. Utage is a 'Soloblade Guard,' meaning she cannot receive direct healing from allies but recovers health with each attack. Her talent, 'Serious Mode,' increases her attack speed as her health decreases, creating a positive feedback loop of faster attacks and faster healing. She has a defensive skill, 'Space Out,' which stops her attacks, massively increases defense, and provides rapid health regeneration. Her other skill, 'Descending Strike - Earth Splitter,' is a deployment-triggered skill that cuts her health in half while increasing attack and changing her attack damage to Arts damage, making her suitable to counter heavily armored enemies. Overall, Utage is a melee DPS operator with strong survivability and self-healing abilities. Although she cannot receive direct healing, her skills make her suitable for a role of a high damage frontline fighter.
