GUIDES &TOOLS
Everything you need to master Arknights: Endfield. For rankings rather than walkthroughs, see thecharacter tier list and theteam tier list.
This hub lists 96 Arknights: Endfield guides in one place. The cards run from endgame hubs and factory blueprints at the top down to economy, combat, exploration, and farming references further below. Most entries are deep references on a single system, such as the pity counter, the damage formula, or one Protocol Space. A few hub pages tie a whole topic together and link out to the rest.
If you are new to the game, the reading order below starts with the Beginner Guide for your first seven days and the Gacha Guide for pull rates and pity. If you want one page per topic instead, the Endgame Guide covers Umbral Monument, Crisis Drills, Etchspace Salvage, and megabase blueprints, while the Resource Guide covers Sanity, Oroberyl, Stock Bills, and banner planning. For weapons, gear, teams, and rotations on a specific operator, go to the Operator Builds page.
Operator Builds: Best Weapon, Gear & Team
All 32 operators on one page, each with a recommended weapon, gear set, talent order and ranked teams.
- Weapon
- Umbra of Frigid Eventide
- Gear set
- Deep Rampart
Version 1.5 Phase 1 limited headliner, the first Nature Striker and the first Arts Unit user in the game to scale on Agility. Her weapon class is Arts Unit rather than a new bow class, so anything already in that pool is legal on her. Two resources drive the kit: Signs accumulate from every team Nature Burst and every Nature Infliction stack her aerial attacks consume, and a full set of Signs converts into Hunting Arrows that empower her attacks into guaranteed Nature Bursts. Roughly 73 percent of her damage comes from those bursts on a static multiplier, so you build her team from Nature stack sources rather than from raw damage buffs.
Typhoeus full profile →- Weapon
- Bedazzling Night Debut
- Gear set
- LYNX
Electric Supporter who combines teamwide ATK buffs and sustained HP Treatment with Electric and Nature Amp during her Ultimate. Vocalist Stance also enables frequent Electric-team SP recovery through her Combo Skill talent.
Liino full profile →- Weapon
- Type 42: Solemn Phalanx
- Gear set
- Hot Work
Headline 6-star limited Nature Caster (real name Li Zhiyan) built around Array Arcana, a stance system that flips her role based on her stat sheet. When Intellect is at least her Will she is an INT-state Corrosion DPS; when Will is higher she becomes a WILL-state controller who pulls, imprisons, and spreads Arts Inflictions. Her ceiling is a team property, rewarding a second element (Electric or Cryo) on the enemy for her Nature to react against.
Arcane full profile →- Weapon
- Amaranthine Tassel
- Gear set
- Grizzled Edge
Combo-focused Guard built around the Qingbo Triplex three-move rotation. Stacks Vulnerability on enemies and converts 3+ stacks into burst finishers like Fists of No Regrets and World Splitter, with Cloudtrapper pulls layering CC on top of single-target burst.
Mi Fu full profile →- Weapon
- Lone Barge
- Gear set
- Xiranflow
Assault operator specializing in sustained Electric DMG with Arts Unit weapon. Creates Sunderblades to unleash continuous Thunder Strikes. Ultimate transforms her into Empyrean of Truth for enhanced combat.
Zhuang Fangyi full profile →- Weapon
- Never Rest
- Gear set
- MI Security
Meta-defining Physical DPS with exceptional AoE presence and team-wide Haste/ATK buffs. Core anchor for Physical compositions.
