At the snow-capped peak, power shifts; Kjerag's future will be revealed in the blizzard.

Arknights' 2025 Thanksgiving Celebration is now officially open! This celebration brings Doctors exciting new content. As the main attraction, the popular operator SilverAsh's new limited form, "SilverAsh the Reignfrost," is about to debut. Accompanying his arrival is the SideStory "Snowstorm Landing 1101" event, leading us back to the ice-bound lands of Kjerag.

SilverAsh's New Form: From President to Strategist

SilverAsh the Reignfrost is a 6-star limited Vanguard-Strategist operator, a Feline from Kjerag, specializing in political diplomacy and commercial trade. This places him completely differently from the Guard operator we are familiar with.

In the latest PV, SilverAsh appears in new traditional Kjerag attire, maintaining his signature authority and demeanor while incorporating more design elements fitting Kjerag's cultural identity.

His artwork background, featuring the sacred Mount Karlan intertwined with stormy snow, hints that this former head of the SilverAsh family will play a more critical role in Kjerag's political landscape.

PV scenes show SilverAsh standing atop a snowy peak, holding an object symbolizing power and faith, his gaze firmly fixed ahead. He is joined by Pramanix and Cliff, the three SilverAsh siblings seemingly confronting new challenges and decisions within the snow-swept environment.

"Snowstorm Landing 1101": Kjerag's New Crisis

SideStory "Snowstorm Landing 1101" refocuses the storyline on the Kjerag region. From the PV, we see this mountain nation facing unprecedented internal and external pressures.

The PV's opening displays a joint military exercise held in the Mount Karlan area, with Victoria and Kjerag fleets conducting drills under extreme weather conditions.

However, this surface-level cooperation appears to conceal more complex political games. SilverAsh's voiceover in the PV states: "It's been a long time. Much has changed across this land, yet neither Kjerag nor Rhodes Island has fallen. Are you ready? I believe we can quickly regain our past tacit agreement in working together. SilverAsh, your ally, is here to assist."

Multiple PV scenes indicate internal divisions emerging in Kjerag due to external interference. As a key Kjerag political figure, SilverAsh strives to balance various interests, ensuring Kjerag maintains independence while building mutually beneficial relationships with external forces.

SilverAsh the Reignfrost: Skill Analysis

As a Vanguard-Strategist operator, SilverAsh the Reignfrost's skill design is highly distinctive, revolving around battlefield coordination and team support, matching his identity as a political strategist.

Unique Mechanic: Eye of the Storm

His first Talent, "Open Game," activates when he is on the field, adding the "Eye of the Storm" to the Preparation Area and sorting it by Deployment Cost.

Operators to the left of the "Eye of the Storm" gain increased initial SP and reduced Redeployment Time—greatly enhancing squad deployment flexibility and skill rotation efficiency.

Skill Overview

Skill 1, "Diplomatic Manuevering":

Upon activation, immediately gains DP and reduces the Deployment Cost of the Preparation Area operator closest to the "Eye of the Storm" (prioritizing right-side Guards/Casters/ Snipers). That operator also gains a Barrier upon deployment equal to a percentage of SilverAsh the Reignfrost's Max HP. This skill perfectly reflects SilverAsh's talent for strategic planning, creating advantages for subsequent operator deployments.

Skill 2, "Enemy's Sharpness":

A versatile skill combining offense and control. Upon activation, deals Physical Damage to several enemies ahead, inflicting Freeze and dispelling Camouflage. Simultaneously reduces the Deployment Cost of operators in the Preparation Area. Additionally, all operators to the left of the "Eye of the Storm," when deployed, release one instance of this skill's area effect based on their own ATK. Its stackable charges allow this skill to play key roles multiple times in battle.

Skill 3, "Change Has Come":

SilverAsh the Reignfrost's core skill. Activation expands his attack range and reveals Camouflaged enemies within it. His attacks deal Physical Damage in a straight line and inflict Fragile. It also provides immediate and continuous DP recovery. More uniquely, on first activation, it swaps the base Deployment Costs of the highest and lowest Cost operators in the Preparation Area. During the skill, the "Eye of the Storm" becomes a deployable tile. This skill fundamentally changes deployment rules, embodying the Strategist class's strategic value.

Gacha Information & Acquisition

SilverAsh the Reignfrost will officially launch after the version update on November 1, 2025, featured in the [Limited Headhunting · Celebration] [Sworn in the Storm] banner.

The banner runs from after the November 1 update until November 15 at 03:59. Players can obtain SilverAsh the Reignfrost through this Limited Headhunting or directly exchange for him (once only) after 300 cumulative pulls.

Kjerag's Future: Change Has Come

In the PV's closing moments, SilverAsh stands within the SilverAsh family mansion, a blizzard raging behind him, his voice steady and firm: "Thus we walk upon Kjerag's land, in our own names, as Kjerag people."

This statement not only hints at this SideStory's core theme—Kjerag's self-identity and future direction—but also reflects SilverAsh's determination as a representative of Kjerag's reformist faction.

SilverAsh the Reignfrost's debut offers players not just a powerful operator but also an important addition to Arknights' main storyline. Through this character, we may glimpse the evolving political landscape of Kjerag and the entire Terra.

SilverAsh the Reignfrost arrives with the snow on November 1. Doctors, are you ready to welcome this master strategist?
