It has some of the same classes yeah! Just works a bit differently. The Endfield classes are:
Guard: Melee damage dealers typically focused on physical damage
Casters: Ranged damage dealers typically focused on arts damage
Strikers: Burst damage dealers that consume debuff stacks for huge single hits. They work similarly to primal casters in that they often need support to get their full effect but can do crazy damage if they have it
Supporters: Focused mainly on buffing and debuffing, sometimes has healing. Very useful to have around but you need to know how best to apply them
Defenders: Frontliners focused on countering enemies and keeping your team alive, often has healing/shields etc. They also seem to have movesets better for fighting groups, at least so far
Vanguards: Flexible units that primarily focus on generating SP to allow everyone to use their skills more often since SP is shared across the team. Other characters can help charge SP but vanguards are best at it and you REALLY feel the difference
If there's a single unit I want to see rebalanced for year 6 with all the same concepts and shit that they got when they were first released - it's Eunectes. Please. I want to see her stats.
I think if Zumama was redesigned for Year 6 she'd get her RA module as part of her base kit on Talent 1 (attracting enemies toward her on skill activation), her stun on S3 would be removed, and her Talent 2 would be changed to some kinda upgrading block gimmick when not blocking then a reward for blocking to lean into the whole machinist shtick, something like
"Every 30s this unit is not blocking an enemy, gain +1 block. Every enemy defeated while being blocked by this unit grants 1 random buff of +10% max HP, +10% DEF, +10 ASPD, +0.05 SP/s when blocking", not much in the average Arknights stage with 40 or so enemies in multiple different lanes, but she could become extra thick in annihilation.
A class like Duelist Defenders need some really drastic block gimmick effects to offset that we now have units like Ulpianus and Hoshiguma the Breacher where simply trying to match them normally would lead to a very boring statstick arms race

already really hated that arknights changed voiceline subtitles to fit whatever the english line was, no matter how accurate it was. but now they've done it to my homegirl beanstalk!!!!!!! she would not call her crabs fellers!!!!!
Shit man, the Londinium war is fucked. I just saw a guy wiggle his pen in the air and say "Soulriver, the Ferry of the Other Side." or some such thing, and half the enemy squad including their projectiles got vaporised. The Doctor didn't even look over, that's how common this shit is. My ass is over here with no module activating Attack Up Ī± at level 2. I think I just heard "The depths will devour your bones" two lanes over. I gotta get the fuck out of here.
Jolly natured, has a lot of stories, dotes on the grand kids, he is the standard all other Peepaws should be judged against. The only points against him is that peepaw is too tired and needs to take a nap under a warm blankie.
B+ Peepaw
Has a lot of the same traits as Rangers, gives candy to kids, war stories, like to ramble on about the old times. Ironically he loses peepaw points for being too fit, it's like he doesn't even have any old aches and pains to complain about.
A+ Peepaw
Talking about his kids all day, ability to adopt a grand-child on site, loves the weird little doodads the kids are into, just wants to drink and dance all day even though he's not allowed to.
Just a great peepaw all around, the only point against him is the fact that he will commit a war crime if the Duke orders him to, he'll try and not do the war crime but if it comes down to it he'll probably do the war crime.
D- Peepaw
Has a lot of regrets and will make them your problem, wants to relate to the kids but isn't willing to meet them half halfway. The only thing stopping this from being a Fail is because he at least is trying and is willing to adjust his world view a little bit.
SSS Peepaw
Works to make a better world for the next generation, willing to put his trust in the next generation to take the reigns, teaches his daughters his ways but doesn't put any expectations for her to take over for him, on a first name basis was all the old people in the city, like to take little strolls around the park.
I was watching this excellent lupoknights clear and reminded of both this traumatizing post and about frankly one of the hardest levels in the game, BB-S-4 via the overwhelming presence of the Deathveil Assassins:
The game uses these entities in an exquisite way, as everything in Babel was exquisite, after all. The first time you see one they essentially function as a boss, only showing up by the eighth level, and only one showing up. The level BB-8 is built around them, weaving their way through the entire field, easily clearing operators that you put in the way with their enormous 1,500 ATK.
Of course, the first attack they do once losing their invisibility does double damage, easily one-shotting most operators, and regaining invisibility once they're no longer blocked.
You learn a healthy respect of the Deathveil Assassins, of their potent ability to cleave through your units, and effective defenses with 60% RES and 40% dodge. Of the fact that if you somehow manage to block one and start chipping it down, it'll leave your operator's range and may compromise your layout.
Despite 'only' being an elite enemy, it certainly feels like a boss, and you're relieved that you only had to deal with one.
And then BB-9 happens.
You see these monsters walk into the level, each and every one capable of cutting down your strongest operators, thirteen working in tandem when only one was a lethal threat. All of them in consort working to slaughter someone that you come to care about deeply. As soon as you see it happen you know there's no way that the scene will be anything but bloody. That it isn't a one-sided butchery is a surprise.

The game uses this ludonarrative harmony of the danger that they represent brilliantly, using game mechanics to instantly convey the relevant message. It's legitimately something that I think is worthy of emulation, of a wonderful example of game design. And; all of this is information conveyed without a single word; information and an experience available to those that don't read the story!
But if you do choose to engage with the story, what is revealed about them is chilling. Each and every one, desperate for Kazdel to succeed, desperate for the Sarkaz to survive in a world that hates them, resolve themselves to end the civil war the only way they think they can; killing Theresa.
But that requires killing Theresa. Of regicide, of betrayal and slaughter of their own kin. Crimes so grievous that they can't stand the thought of their names being permanently associated with Theresa's death in history. Each cut away their horns, stripped themselves of skin so that they couldn't be recognized or identified.
What initially seems like an elegant yet fairly simple design, perhaps edgy and blunt with the amount of pure black with red accents, becomes utterly horrific. The black cloth covering every square inch of their body must be fused to their exposed muscles, glued in place with blood. They voluntarily flayed themselves, to try and avoid being remembered.

Babel is an event that, to me, is defined by both regret and understanding. Everyone knows why it has to be this way, and no matter how much they regret it, still follow through. I don't think this is epitomized anywhere else as much as this scene; Theresa identifying each of these people by name, on a personal basis, before extinguishing them.
She understands why they do this, she probably figured it out as soon as they walked through the door. Even as they approach their king with blades drawn, they almost beg forgiveness, beg understanding for the actions they already regret as they take them.
She understands, they understand, and violence ensues. The Doctor loathes themself for what 'needed' to be done, but still follows through. At any point in the plan they could have called it off, but decided that the regrets are a smaller price to pay.
The Deathveil Aassassins are a personification of Babel's motifs, and I think it speaks to the nature of Kazdel itself, of the Sarkaz, that they give up their identities, their bodies and souls for a perceived greater good. Just like the Doctor, these people, in their own words damned themselves.
They are a perfect confluence of themes, game design and writing, and that should to be recognized.
The way they fit so well into the fairy tale Theresa narrated to Amiya always struck a chord with me - it adds a bit of a "meta" element to the mix, too.
They chose to embody the Sarkaz' struggle and despair to the point they stopped being individual people - they voluntarily became the villains from the story. While Theresa still makes an effort to recognize them and call them by name, ultimately the shadows are what she frames them as when consoling Amiya.
Through this framing we get to see them humanized in a very specific way, because we know their reasons and how much they sacrificed, we know they were people; it makes you think about what could be hiding behind every single faceless villain from the stories, what could bring someone to make such a choice, which is incredibly resonant with Arknights as a whole.
It's a very thematically appropriate squad to be lead by the faceless "Evil Spirit of Babel", someone we also only knew mostly through other people's tales, who both us and characters in-story were led to believe was a cold manipulator before getting to know the human underneath. The Deathveil Assassins' grief, readiness to die and be punished for their sins, and attachment to what they believe to be the only way to preserve the ideal of their people so strong they're able to destroy themselves and what they love for it, all reflect what Oracle was also going through at the same time. Being the perfect squad for them, of course they had be 13 - that's the maximum number of operators the Doctor can bring to an operation, after all.
...to be fair after these 13 Doctor still arrives with āa tideā of assassins coming behind them - but well, not at the same time, so it's still a maximum of 13 at once.
Incredibly badass of Theresa that she still killed all of those despite being deeply injured and having given her crown to Amiya. Like you said, after seeing how just one of them is capable of acting as a boss stand-in, Theresa being rushed by so many effectively raises the tension to the point of making you despair, but also acts as a quiet show of her power and hypes her up after a whole event seeing her being so passive and restraining herself. She gets a lot of hits each of which could possibly one-shot your operators yet keeps fighting; she's powerful enough she can deal with them with one-hit each in turn (both in the game and in the story); she recognizes some of them as living legends from the war 200 years ago, including one who killed a Steam Knight on their own, and still wins against a whole group of them. Doctor is basically filling two squads' worth of pseudo-bosses to kill her, and it's barely enough. It's the first time we get to see the full power of a King of Sarkaz, and damn if she lives up to the legend, even if the whole thing is being presented as her requiem.
