Conviction

Conviction is a 4-star Guard operator in the game Arknights, known for her unique mechanics and unpredictability, often considered a "joke character." Conviction proclaims herself to be the third generation successor of the "Conviction Fist," a martial art blending dance and combat, hailing from the Minos region, although her exact origins and race are not clear. Her skill mechanics are highly random; she stuns herself upon deployment, Skill 1 has a chance of dealing extremely high damage, and Skill 2 is a high-damage area attack, but it also has a chance to stun allies. These high-risk, high-reward traits make her a fun but difficult-to-control character. She is usually gifted for free to players during the annual April Fool's event. Conviction is also closely associated with the classic philosophical problem of the "trolley problem" in the game, adding to her mysterious background. Despite her unstable mechanics, she can occasionally deliver astonishing damage, and her unique base skills are quite useful.
