Arknights, the acclaimed strategic tower defense RPG developed by Hypergryph and published by Yostar, continues to captivate players with new operator variations that enhance gameplay and enrich the game's lore. One such transformation is Texas (Alter), also known as Texas the Omertosa, who shifts from her traditional Vanguard role to a formidable ranged Executor Specialist. Unlike her original DP-generating counterpart, Texas (Alter) delivers devastating AoE Arts damage and employs chilling crowd-control abilities to freeze enemies in their tracks. This guide explores her unique skill set, recommended modules, ideal synergy picks, and how to effectively incorporate her into your Arknights roster.

For melee synergy, pairing Texas (Alter) with operators like Surtr or Nearl the Radiant Knight can be highly effective. These units can capitalize on enemies trapped in her freeze zone, finishing them off with ease. Additionally, defenders with healing talents, such as Saria, can anchor lanes and provide sustainability while Texas (Alter) slows down large enemy waves for them to tank.
When to Deploy Texas the Omertosa
Due to her powerful deployment skill burst, Texas the Omertosa excels at the onset of a wave to quickly soften and control mobs, or during critical moments when the situation becomes chaotic. Maps featuring Reed-type spawns or explosive ranged enemies particularly benefit from her ability to neutralize multiple threats simultaneously.
Her skill cycle is optimized when paired with SP generators or units that reduce skill cooldowns, enabling her to re-enter the fray swiftly and repeat her freeze bursts more frequently.
Should You Pull for Texas (Alter)?
If you prioritize high-impact burst AoE and control, Texas (Alter) is a valuable addition to your roster. While she may not replace a core Vanguard or a traditional caster in sustained maps, she excels in burst-clear compositions and synergy-heavy freeze teams. Her flexible deployment and skill activation timing make her a versatile asset in lineups where control and damage are crucial.
