Learn to master Arknights Operator retreat mechanic in stage 0-4. Recover deployment cost and adapt your strategy by swapping Vanguards and other units to face.
Objective: Eliminate all enemies. Key Mechanics: Operator retreat. This stage introduces the concept of retreating operators to recover some of their deployment cost and free up a deployment slot. You'll likely be prompted to retreat a Vanguard after enough DP has been generated, replacing them with a stronger unit or another Vanguard if needed. This is a crucial mechanic for adapting to changing battlefield conditions or correcting deployment mistakes.
Practice retreating an operator and then redeploying another. Note that retreating an operator puts them on a cooldown before they can be redeployed. This cooldown varies by operator. Understanding when to retreat and redeploy is a skill that will serve you well in more complex stages. The enemies here are still basic, allowing you to focus on the mechanic itself.
