In the vast and detailed universe of Arknights, the Sarkaz stand out as a race steeped in lore, tragedy, and immense power. Characterized by their distinctive long horns and a profound connection to Originium, the Sarkaz play pivotal roles in the game's central narratives, particularly those centered around Kazdel and the Reunion Movement.
The Sarkaz, however, are not a uniform entity. They comprise various subraces, each with unique histories, biological traits, combat styles, and philosophical outlooks. Delving into these subraces enriches the understanding of the Sarkaz's narrative depth and enhances their strategic value in gameplay.

Vampire
The Vampire subrace within the Sarkaz is marked by several distinct features.
Unlike other Sarkaz subraces, Vampires typically do not have horns or tails. They often exhibit pale skin and red or pink eyes, which has led to the derogatory nickname "Red/Pink eyes" among some communities. Vampires excel in blood-related Arts, enabling them to enhance others through their own blood, a practice known as giving a "blessing." A notable tradition among Vampires involves marking close relatives with a preferred scent, which serves both as a declaration of protection and a means to locate the marked individual over vast distances. However, this custom is gradually fading among younger Vampires, who see it as an outdated practice. Historically, Vampires were known for their thirst for blood and conflict. Over time, many, including the renowned Operator Warfarin, have grown weary of perpetual strife after centuries of combat, signaling a shift towards a more pacifistic approach within Vampire society. Vampires often face stereotypes such as sleeping in luxurious coffins or consuming blood vials. While some view these as remnants of a brutal past, others, like Closure, humorously dismiss them—Closure, for instance, jests about preferring motor oil over blood.
Gameplay Importance of Sarkaz Operators
Sarkaz Operators are often:
- High-impact units, typically featuring self-sustain, burst damage, or unique mechanics
- Excellent for tackling boss fights, challenge modes, or controlling elite enemies
- Commonly found in specialist, defender, or caster classes
- Tied to high-risk, high-reward strategies that reward tactical planning
- Many also synergize thematically in events, such as in Under Tides or Chapters 9-11, where Sarkaz lore is prominently featured.
The Sarkaz are more than just a race in Arknights—they embody the soul of Kazdel, the shadow of conflict, and the essence of power forged through pain. Their subraces showcase their diversity: from brutal warriors to cursed witches, stealthy assassins, and fallen royalty. Understanding these subraces not only deepens your appreciation of the Arknights world but also informs how to construct powerful teams with Sarkaz Operators.
