"Arknights: Comprehensive Guide to Sarkaz Subraces"

In the intricate tapestry of Arknights, the Sarkaz stand out as a race steeped in lore, tragedy, and immense power. With their distinctive long horns and profound connection to Originium, the Sarkaz play pivotal roles in the game's central narratives, particularly those concerning Kazdel and the Reunion Movement. Yet, the Sarkaz are not a uniform entity; they are composed of diverse subraces, each boasting unique histories, biological traits, combat styles, and philosophies. Delving into these subraces not only enriches your understanding of the game's world but also enhances your strategic gameplay with Sarkaz characters. For a broader look at class and subclass dynamics, don't miss our comprehensive guide on the subject.

Vampire

The Vampire subrace of the Sarkaz is marked by distinctive traits that set them apart.

Unlike other Sarkaz subraces, Vampires are typically devoid of horns and tails. Their pale skin and striking red or pink eyes have earned them the derogatory moniker "Red/Pink eyes" in some communities. Vampires excel in blood-related Arts, capable of enhancing others through their own blood—a practice known as giving a "blessing." A notable tradition among them involves marking close relatives with a preferred scent, which serves as both a protective declaration and a means to locate them over vast distances. However, this custom is fading among the younger generation, who consider it outdated. Historically, Vampires have been driven by a thirst for blood and conflict, but many, including the esteemed Operator Warfarin, have grown weary of endless warfare after centuries of battle. This shift indicates a broader societal move toward pacifism. Vampires often confront stereotypes such as sleeping in opulent coffins or consuming blood vials. While some recognize these as vestiges of a harsher past, others, like Closure, playfully reject them—Closure, for example, humorously claims to prefer motor oil over blood.

Gameplay Importance of Sarkaz Operators

Sarkaz Operators are frequently:

• High-impact units, boasting self-sustain, burst damage, or unique mechanics
• Ideal for boss encounters, challenge modes, or managing elite enemies
• Often found in specialist, defender, or caster classes
• Suited for high-risk, high-reward strategies that demand tactical foresight
• Thematically linked in events like Under Tides or Chapters 9–11, where Sarkaz lore is prominently featured

The Sarkaz transcend being merely a race within Arknights; they encapsulate the essence of Kazdel, embody the shadows of conflict, and represent power forged through suffering. Their subraces—ranging from fierce warriors and cursed witches to stealthy assassins and fallen royalty—reflect their rich diversity. Gaining insight into these subraces not only deepens your appreciation of the Arknights universe but also empowers you to construct formidable teams with Sarkaz Operators.
