Operator Overview

"Codename Meteorite, a freelance mercenary. I'm a Sarkazian, as you can see. You still wanna hire me in spite of that?"

Meteorite isn’t known for her patience. She has a short fuse and will mercilessly blow up everything in her path to fulfill her duties. As the Sniper of Rhodes Island, Meteorite specializes in AoE Physical Damage & Debuffing enemies.

Meteorite’s skill set showcases devastating damage towards grouped enemies. Buckshot, on top of a nice multiplicative ATK buff,  grants Meteorite additional AoE range to reach even more targets, while High-Explosive Shell’s unique ability to reduce advancing unit defenses helps burst key targets. Her Talent, Blast Attachment Refit, is icing on the TNT, as it adds a potential “crit” effect, with a chance to increase the damage of each hit.

Meteorite is a stellar Operator who finds a home in many squads. She boasts high physical attack, dishing enormous amounts of damage against groups of low armor targets. Against high armored enemies, she falls short since her arsenal doesn’t include any piercing or arts damage. However, she can use her High-Explosive Shell to immediately shred through a significant portion of their armor, giving physical allies a boost.

Crit Talent and S1 makes her an excellent pure physical damage dealer with a large splash area

Elite Promotion Discussion

Meteorite is a very useful Operator for Annihilation 2 and 3, especially when upgraded to E2 for her increased attack range.

Arknights Meteorite Range E2

  • Furthermore, at promotion to E2, her Talent, Blast Attachment Refit, doubles the chance-on-hit for increased damage.

In previous versions of the guide, I favored only S1, and while S1 is still a very strong option, I've since grown to appreciate S2 quite a bit more as the advanced option. Because of her long attack interval, and the fact S1 is attack recovery while S2 is per second recovery, the skills actually have nearly identical DPS. In fact, S2 can more easily reach a higher DPS since it charges between waves.

This means that the decision between them most often comes down to the utility they bring. For S1 it's consistency and range. S1 has a big Mastery gain and will continue to be the better choice for Story players looking for a simple option to help clear out trash. However, for Advanced players who wish to get a bit more out of Meteorite, S2 becomes the much more valuable option. It provides better burst, better armor penetration (more damage per hit and the debuff applies to the attack itself), and better team support. And with how the game has crept in power, most Advanced players have more than enough options for clearing out trash.

However, that said, her S1 can still come out ahead in some situations. It works particularly well with Archetto. It is also her better option in the Roguelike, should you intend to use Meteorite there since it works much better with the various relics.

Profile

Formerly a member of Firewatch's group, she is now a freelance mercenary. Other details of her history are unknown.
Now serving as a sniper Operator for Rhodes Island, she uses the bowgun in her hands to exert lethality from afar.

Clinical Analysis

Increase Trust to 25.
Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.

[Cell-Originium Fusion Rate] 7%
She presents no obvious external symptoms of Oripathy.

[Blood Crystal Density] 0.33u/L
Infection has progressed to middle-term. Currently there is no evidence of spreading.

Archive File 1

Increase Trust to 50.
She is a Sarkaz who wears a cold expression but has a warm heart.
She doesn't speak very politely, but if you can get past her rude tone, you'll find her words to be heartfelt.
She follows all news concerning the Sarkaz.

Archive File 2

Increase Trust to 100.
It is a well-known fact that the Sarkaz people are ostracized from society at large, even those who are non-infected. The degree to which they are ostracized varies from place to place.
This touches upon some sensitive historical issues that are inconvenient to discuss here. All we can say is that in conclusion, the Sarkaz people are removed from the mainstream. They can often be described as cynical, self-contained, and they do this as they see fit.
In this sense, Meteorite is a different kind of Sarkaz. Although she wears a cold face because of the discrimination she's experienced, underneath her mask is a heart that's still warm, a fact that all Rhodes Island Operators have seen.

Archive File 3

Increase Trust to 150.
Like Firewatch herself, Meteorite doesn't talk about Firewatch's group's past.
However, her reason is that it's not her place to talk about it. These matters should only come straight from the Doctor's mouth if they're supposed to mean anything.
Though this may sound cruel, what's clear is that to Firewatch, the group's story is everything, but to Meteorite, it's just one of many.

Archive File 4

Increase Trust to 200.
Meteorite once confided to me in private that she might leave Rhodes Island one day.
When I asked her why, she said that she's fighting for the Sarkaz people. And while she likes Rhodes Island, our goals aren't the same as hers, and that there would be a day where she would just get in Rhodes Island's way.
Her expression at the time was very sad, and I didn't know how to comfort her. All I could tell her was the truth - that I also wanted to help the Sarkaz and that as long as it wasn't too much trouble, I'd help her too.
Meteorite looked blank for a second and then she hugged me. She rubbed my head and said, you're such a fool, Amiya.
Although I couldn't see her expression when she said this, I could sense that in the end, Meteorite won't leave.
- Amiya

Promotion Record

Upgrade to Elite LV2.
Unexpectedly, after receiving her promotion, Meteorite submitted a list of names. They were the aliases that she'd used in the past in various places as a freelance mercenary.
After investigating this list, it was discovered that for several years, Meteorite had been fighting relentlessly, and had taken part in most military campaigns involving the Sarkaz.
Presumably for Meteorite, this was her way of showing trust to Rhodes Island. In turn, Rhodes Island repaid the favor by providing her the best living arrangements.

Appointed as Assistant It's time for my shift. If I'm interrupting your work, I can wait outside.
Talk 1 Have you gone through every new operator's personnel files and info?
Talk 2 Nowhere in the world is completely safe with a war going on. Not even Rhodes Island. Please remember that.
Talk 3 To be frank, you're surrounded by people from all walks of life. That can be quite dangerous, don't you think?
Talk after Promotion 1 I'm surprised that so many other Sarkaz have come to Rhodes Island. What's more surprising is that they actually get along…
Talk after Promotion 2 My bowgun may not be easy to operate, but it's just as powerful as the Laterano guns. I use it to defend the glory of my people.
Talk after Trust Increase 1 I see Firewatch is here. I can't believe she's using the name of our old guerrilla group as her codename. It's like time stopped for her the day her home was destroyed...
Talk after Trust Increase 2 As for what happened between Firewatch and I... she'll tell you when she's ready. All I can say is that I was not the one who led the rebels to her village... but no one would believe the words of a Sarkaz, right?
Talk after Trust Increase 3 She wants her revenge, and I have my duty. Even though we've met again at Rhodes Island, it probably won't affect anything. Our paths aren't likely to cross.
