Vendela, also known as Thorn Rose, is a 5-star Medic Operator in the mobile game Arknights, belonging to the 'Incantation' archetype. She is unique for attacking enemies instead of directly healing allies, dealing Arts damage while simultaneously healing one ally within her attack range for half the damage dealt. Vendela's talent, 'Soil Fertilizer Enhancement,' amplifies the healing received by the ally with the highest maximum HP within her range. Her skills include increasing ASPD and ATK, with Skill 2 also making the highest HP ally more likely to be targeted by enemies, and dealing additional Arts damage to attackers when this ally is hit, while Vendela's healing effect applies only to that ally.
Vendela’s real name is Magdelene Shaw, and she is originally from the town of Brentwood in Victoria, where she worked as a florist. During the Sarkaz occupation of Londinium, she became an informant for the resistance, but her town was eventually destroyed. Afterwards, she joined Rhodes Island, adopting the codename 'Vendela.' She is known for her helpful nature, often actively contributing to her hometown’s reconstruction and efforts to combat Oripathy, even after becoming an Operator. She has extensive knowledge of flowers and has used petal divination to give advice to other Operators, which has earned her some popularity.
Vendela has a special niche in the game, as her healing ability is tied to her attacks, making her useful in situations that require both damage and healing. However, she might be more difficult to use for new players. Overall, Vendela is a medic operator with a unique mechanism and great potential.
