Heat

Heat is an element in Arknights: Endfield.

Description

Heat Operators are capable of doing Heat Damage, shown in game as a red number.

Some Operators are also capable of dealing Heat Infliction, indicated by a fire icon besides their Health Bar.

When Operators deal Heat Infliction on enemies that already have Heat Infliction, a Heat Burst will be triggered, during which they take massive Heat Damage. Like Physical, the Inflictions are removed after a Burst.

The damage dealt this way is affected by the dealer's stats.

Combust

“	Applying Heat Infliction to an enemy with a different Arts Infliction instantly deals some Heat Damage and triggers Combustion: A Combusted enemy suffers Heat Damage every second for a certain duration. Effect numbers are based on the Attack stat of the operator triggering the Combustion.	”
	—Tutorial

If Heat Infliction is dealt on enemies with another type of Arts Infliction, Combustion will be triggered instead, during which they take Heat Damage and for a period of time, they also take continuous Arts damage over time. If Combustion is dealt again, the duration will refresh.

The damage dealt this way is affected by the dealer's stats. Like Heat Burst, the Inflictions are removed after the Reaction.
