Arknights, the acclaimed strategic tower defense RPG from Hypergryph and Yostar, regularly introduces new operator variants that bring fresh mechanics and enrich the game’s lore. Among these is Texas (Alter), officially named Texas the Omertosa, who transitions from her original Vanguard role into a completely different battlefield presence. Unlike the DP-generating operator you might be familiar with, Texas (Alter) enters the field as a ranged Executor Specialist, dealing massive AoE Arts damage and immobilizing enemies with chilling crowd control. This guide explores her unique skills, suggested modules, strong operator synergies, and how to effectively add her to your Arknights lineup.

For melee support, operators like Surtr or Nearl the Radiant Knight can move in to eliminate enemies trapped in her freeze area. Defenders with healing capabilities, such as Saria, can hold lanes and sustain the team while Texas (Alter) slows down large enemy groups.
When to Deploy Texas the Omertosa
Thanks to her on-deployment burst skill, Texas the Omertosa works best deployed at the start of a wave to quickly damage and control groups of enemies, or during critical moments when the situation becomes overwhelming. She excels on stages with clustered enemy spawns or dangerous ranged units, as she can neutralize multiple threats simultaneously.
Her skill rotation is most effective when combined with SP batteries or operators that shorten skill cooldowns, letting her re-enter combat faster and use her freezing attacks more frequently.
Should You Pull for Texas (Alter)?
If you appreciate high-impact AoE burst and crowd control, she’s a strong choice. While she doesn’t replace a core Vanguard or a dedicated caster in longer battles, she stands out in burst-clear strategies and freeze-focused teams. Her flexible deployment timing and skill activation make her a great fit in squads where control and burst damage are essential. And for the best experience managing your squad, enjoying the narrative, and executing skills smoothly, there's no better platform than playing Arknights on BlueStacks.
