Analysis of the Strength of the Five-Star Operator Songtong Given in the 2025 Summer Event of Arknights

Arknights' Songtong is a bartender and the owner of a mobile stall, known for being considerate by preparing late-night snacks and excelling at helping to find things. As a 5-star operator directly gifted in this summer event, many players are likely very curious about his skills and strength. Below, we will introduce the effects of his skills and provide a simple analysis of his strength. If you're interested, take a look at the following content.

Songtong's profession is Vanguard Strategist, as a new branch of profession, it is speculated based on its characteristics that he assists other professions. His characteristic allows him to block two enemies and support teammates in the deployment waiting area. Songtong’s talent, after staying on the battlefield for a period, will increase the attack power of all Defenders and Support operators on the field and in the deployment waiting area. This effect can only be triggered once per battle.

His skill "Entry Arrangement" when activated, immediately grants him a certain amount of deployment cost and reduces the deployment cost of the rightmost operator currently in the deployment waiting area. The specific value of this cost reduction is not provided, but it is guessed to be more than that of typical Vanguard skills, making it quite practical.

His skill "Myriad Hands Form a Scheme" gradually restores a certain amount of deployment costs, increases his attack power, and recovers a certain percentage of his maximum HP per second. When activated, it also immediately reduces the deployment costs and increases the maximum HP of all Defender and Support operators in the deployment waiting area. This HP boost can stack multiple times, lasting until the next retreat.

This ultimate skill is actually quite simple to use: deploy Songtong on the battlefield, try to activate the skill as many times as possible to stack health and reduce costs for Defenders and Supports. The exact numerical values have not been disclosed, but from the effect alone, it still looks very good, making him a great match for teams with heavy Defenders and Supports.

The analysis of Songtong's strength in Arknights ends here. Overall, as a free 5-star operator, Songtong still has a significant role within the team. Players who like him should remember to participate in the summer event to receive Songtong for free, allowing him to shine on the battlefield.
