A new Supporter operator announced during the CN 2.5 Anniversary. This operator is from the 1981 Chinese animated movie ''[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deer_of_Nine_Colors A Deer of Nine Colors]]'', which is based on the Buddhist story of the same name.

* MasterOfNone: Unfortunately, the archetype suffers from trying to be a hybrid of an attacker and a healer, and not exactly excelling at either. Additionally, with the exception of Quercus, the Shelter effect provided by the Abjurers only triggers when below a dangerous HP threshold.

* StatusBuff: They can provide potent offensive and defensive buffs to allies within their range through the Inspiration effect.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Slow Supporters and Buff[=/=]Debuff Supporters have range tiles extending way past their backs. They are perfectly capable of hitting anything that wades into that range without turning around to look at what they're shooting at.

* DifficultButAwesome: Using Summoner Supporters properly takes some very big brains to pull off, in order to play to the strengths and weaknesses of their minions. Usually, you'd have to be deploying nothing ''but'' these operators in order to make room for their summons, as these will count against your deployment limit, and then time your skill usage carefully to make the most out of their obscene powers, as in most cases all minions will be retrieved once the abilities are fired, leaving you vulnerable should the enemy survives. If that's not enough headache for you, if a summon is killed before it can be retrieved, it's gone for good, leaving you with less to make do with; barring certain skills, the only way to replenish an operator's summons is to redeploy the operator themselves (however, as how it stands now, that is only the case with [=DeepColor=]). Managing to master their use, however, and you'll be finding yourself clearing many difficult maps with one lone operator.

!!!'''Default DP cost range (without potential upgrades):''' 17 - 19[[note]]Speculative, as Stainless's DP cost has yet to be confirmed at the time of writing[[/note]] DP

'''Abjurer''' supporters can use their skills and talents to grant allies various perks and stat bonuses. When their skills are active, they will stop attacking and instead heal allies in range for 75% of their ATK per heal.

!!'''Aura'''

'''Aura''' Supporters [[NonActionGuy don't attack]], but are focused solely on either providing buffs for their team or debuffs for the enemy within their huge range with their skills. Aura Supporters additionally passively heal teammates that are within their range for a fraction of their ATK every second.

!!'''Slow'''

'''Slow''' Supporters reduce the movement of enemies that they strike, giving your defense lines more time to wipe out priority targets or stall dangerous enemies from reaching your lines.
!!'''Summon'''

'''Summon''' Supporters don't buff anything directly, settling for bringing drones and the like to the field instead. Of all types of Supporters, Summoners have the weakest team synergy and often require entire lineups being built around supporting ''them'' to be truly effective, due to their summons taking up deployment slots. Their summons are also perishable, and if killed will be lost permanently unless retrieved with skills beforehand, or the operators themselves being redeployed. With the right team and strategy, however, they can win battles by their lonesome.
