Eblana is the rare kind of Operator who grips both lore-lovers and min-maxers at first glance. As Arknights' first 6-star Shaper Caster, she bends the battlefield with autonomous Servants, bulldozes lanes with an absurdly tanky Special Servant, and, yes, carries the kind of narrative weight that makes every deployment feel like a story beat. For players deciding what to pull in 2025’s meta, she’s a fascinating blend of novelty, raw power, and character depth.

Eblana’s Lore and Role in the Arknights Storyline

Eblana (also known as Blana, Banana, Necris, or Necrass) hails from Victoria and is the older twin sister of Lashini Dublin—better known to Rhodes Island as Operator Reed. Following pivotal events, she requests to join Rhodes Island. It’s not a simple onboarding: she’s accepted only under constant surveillance and with high-clearance access granted to her file. That alone speaks volumes about her influence and the tension she carries into every scene.

For lore-focused players, Eblana’s presence is a powder keg of Victorian intrigue. Her Draco heritage, complicated family ties, and the way her personal agenda brushes up against Rhodes Island’s ideals add stakes to battles beyond just clearing a map. Using her in combat feels like a continuation of the story—a character trying to forge a new path under watchful eyes.

Eblana’s Combat Abilities and Ultimate Power

Eblana’s archetype fuses elements of Tactician Vanguards and Summoner Supporters into a Caster chassis. The headline: she creates Servants when enemies die inside her attack range. These Servants draw the highest aggro and do not consume deployment slots—perfect for tight-tile or limited-slot stages. Eblana can also attack enemies that her Servants block, eliminating the typical “summon gets in the way” problem.

· Primary job: Arts damage dealer and self-sustaining lane holder.

· Core limitation: Servants spawn off kills in her range, so she ramps best where weak mobs feed her engine.

Talents

· Talent 1 – Servant of Lamentation (Shaper Caster archetype)

o When an enemy dies in her range, a Servant spawns at that spot (max 3).

o On hitting the Servant cap, further kills upgrade the earliest Servant (boosting HP/ATK/DEF, block count) and fully heal it.

o Once all three are upgraded, extra kills heal them again. Servants can’t be healed normally—Eblana’s kit and passive sources do the heavy lifting.

o Takeaway: treat Servants as recyclable resources; quality over quantity.

· Talent 2 – Execution Instinct

o Attacking enemies below 50% HP (60% with potential) grants +145% ATK for the finisher. It’s simple, it’s brutal, and it makes her clutch at cleaning up elites and waves.

Skills

S1 – Chain-Lament Refresh

o Passive: Every time a Servant is summoned or upgraded, it deals 450% of Eblana’s ATK as AoE Arts to nearby enemies.

o Active: Refreshes all Servants (full heal, preserved upgrades) or creates one if none exist.

o Why it’s good: extremely spammable (low SP), chains explosions on summon/upgrade, and turbo-clears waves. Downsides: slow start versus elite-only lanes; refresh can unintentionally relocate Servants.

o Verdict: deceptively simple, very strong; a great secondary mastery target.

S2 – Sleep and Flood

o Places up to two enemies to Sleep and deals 160% ATK Arts every 0.5s to sleeping targets.

o If Eblana secures a kill under S2, she spawns two extra Servants—fast-tracking cap and upgrades.

o Utility: good CC and multi-hit DPS when tiles are awkward or summons can’t stick. Best when the wave composition feeds her kill-to-summon loop.

o Caveats: locks SP gain during uptime, higher SP cost, clunky targeting at range edges, and underwhelming vs. high RES/HP foes. Generally overshadowed by S1 and S3.

S3 – Special Servant Ascension (Her “ultimate” power)

o Passive: Summons a Special Servant with massive stats (about 5.5k HP / 924 ATK / 510 DEF base). It can be upgraded six times, gaining +1 block and range at 3rd and 6th upgrades. Fully juiced, it reaches roughly 14.4k HP / 2.4k ATK / 1.1k DEF.

o The Special Servant auto-casts a skill every 15s, dealing true AoE Arts damage (120% ATK) in a wide frontal zone at a low SP cost (around 15 SP).

o Active: Eblana performs three consecutive frontal Arts blasts (each ~800% ATK). Each activation consumes normal Servants to upgrade—and heal—the Special Servant (20% max HP heal per Servant; upgraded Servants count double for levels).

o Why it’s absurd: the Special Servant becomes an impenetrable wall that nukes and blocks while Eblana pelts the lane. Both have spammable AoE, enabling stage solos and boss checks where Arts damage sticks.

o Weakness: enemies with extreme Arts RES can dull the edge; relies on fodder to sustain and heal the big guy efficiently.

Module – X-Type Uplift

· Raises Eblana’s HP/ATK.

· Enhances Talent 1 when attacking enemies blocked by Servants.

· Grants a temporary ATK buff after each in-range kill (e.g., ~25% ATK for 10s at Level 3).

· Impact: sizeable S3 damage bump—especially when combined with her execution talent. Not essential, but valuable if she’s a staple in your squads.

Why Eblana is a Must-Pull Operator for Many Players

· She unlocks a low-operator, low-micro style: park her, feed her, and watch a lane delete itself.

· No-slot Servants mean she plays nice with full squads and limited-tile maps.

· S3 enables “panic button” resilience—her Special Servant tanks and clears simultaneously.

· Newer players love her because she covers multiple roles (block, AoE Arts, wave control) without needing complex team support.

· The novelty factor: being the first 6-star Shaper Caster gives her enduring value and a unique footprint in roster building.

On the flip side, veteran rosters might already have lane anchors and burst casters. If your account overflows with high-end options, her “solo lane” identity may be situational. But for most players, the combination of meta-relevant power and fresh gameplay loop makes her one of the most compelling picks in 2025.

Headhunting Mechanics and Limited Banner Details

· Base 6-star rate on standard banners: 2%.

· Soft pity starts increasing the 6-star rate after extended dry streaks, with a hard ceiling at 99 pulls for a guaranteed 6-star.

· Rate-up rules: when a 6-star appears, there’s a coin flip between the rate-up and off-rate pools if it’s a single-feature banner. If two 6-stars share rate-up, the featured chance splits accordingly.

· First-10 guarantee: at least one 5-star or higher in the first 10 pulls on a fresh banner.

· Limited banners: feature a 300-pull exchange (“spark”) for the limited unit. Eblana herself is not a limited operator, so don’t expect a 300-spark path on her debut banner.

What this means for Eblana: she’s a standard 6-star who will enter the general pool after her banner. If you miss her, she can spook you in future pulls or reappear on future rate-ups and Joint Operations-style banners.

In-Game Currency and Pull Costs Explained

· Orundum: main summoning currency; 600 per pull (6,000 for a 10x). Earned from dailies, weeklies, events, and base.

· Originite Prime (OP): premium currency you can convert to Orundum at 1 OP = 180 Orundum; also used for skins and sanity refills.

· Headhunting Permits: direct pulls earned via events, shop bundles, and missions.

· Gold/Green Certs: from duplicates; can be saved to buy Permits or even operators in the shop.

Budget snapshot for a realistic Eblana chase

· 90 pulls: a pragmatic mid-pity budget for many players.

· 120–150 pulls: improves odds of both seeing a 6-star and winning the 50/50.

Some players prefer to supplement event income with Arknights Top Up during key banners. If you go that route, stick to trusted platforms and official channels for your region; community members often cite services like LootBar for competitive pricing and convenience. Visiting Lootbar.gg makes it straightforward to compare options, pay in your local currency, and top up when a must-pull lands—useful if you’re timing pity or finishing a 10x right before a deadline.

Final Thoughts: Making the Most of Eblana’s Arrival

Eblana is one of those rare Operators who is fun immediately and keeps paying dividends as you learn her rhythm. The S1 “chain-lament” explosions feel incredible into waves. S2 is the utility flex for awkward tiles and clutch control. S3 is where she becomes a spectacle: a colossal Special Servant that bullies lanes while Eblana detonates the frontline with spammable Arts bursts.

From a lore lens, deploying her under Rhodes Island’s watchful gaze adds dramatic tension to every map. From a gameplay lens, she’s a compact solution for players who crave fewer moving parts and more raw, reproducible power. She isn’t mandatory if your account already has multiple lane tyrants and burst casters, and she can be dulled by extreme Arts RES maps. But for many, she’s a must-pull—both a statement piece for squads and a genuinely new way to play.

If you’re ready to chase her banner, align your pity, lock your budget, and make your resources work for you. Whether you slow-roll with Permits, bank Orundum methodically, or top up sparingly when needed via trusted services like LootBar, the key is intention. Pull smart, master her Servant economy, and enjoy watching an entire lane crumble under the weight of her will.
