Laevatain's skill animation has a push effect that can move other operators. This can be used strategically for positioning or avoiding enemy attacks.
During the Wuling story, you can use the water gun drone mechanic to cool down xiranite energy systems. This is an intended game mechanic that solves puzzle/combat scenarios.
Ziplines in Arknights: Endfield can be traversed when positioned upside down. This was observed during the Asia server intro sequence.
Companion operators (AI-controlled) have excellent survivability mechanics: they dodge effectively, conserve energy by backing out when stamina runs low, hide during dangerous boss attacks, and automatically collect item drops. Let them handle combat positioning rather than micro-managing.

The Blight Tide has two cycles: (1) Short pattern ~14 seconds with recognizable 'hook' shape, (2) Long pattern ~17 minutes with the short pattern moving westward. Lowest tide point occurs shortly before the hook, highest point a few minutes after hook passes. Use this timing for navigation and positioning.
Endgame content features significant burn/combustion damage mechanics. Stage 2 bosses deal heavy burn damage that requires cleansing abilities. Include operators with burn cleanse capabilities in your team composition for endgame content.
Enemy attacks can apply arts infliction debuffs that change your operator's elemental type (example: Snowshine operator was converted to Flameshine). This mechanic can significantly impact combat effectiveness and team composition decisions.
Game mechanic discovery: enemies can apply Arts Infliction status on player operators, not just vice versa. This changes elemental interactions during combat - operators with elemental affinities can be affected by enemy arts infliction (e.g., Cryo operators can have their element changed).
