All Arknights character: Supporter operators

Hypergryph
Tomimi’s status as Supporter is almost a misdirection, as her powers often put her in similar positions to casters.

Whether bringing out the big guns through summons or giving off a nice aura boost, supporters are meant to bolster their team through their utility rather than their combat.

The benefit to having a good supporter in your lineup is that your high-damage operators become stronger than ever when one is around to help them.

All Arknights characters: Vanguard operators

REed from Arknights is a five-star rarity operator Hypergryph
Reed is a Vanguard unit with a fiery spirit, which summarizes the whole class pretty well.

Usually used to generate more DP for your team, Vanguard operators get into the fight early and pull back just as fast as they arrived.
