## Free 6★ Selector Guide

### Unlock Requirement

Complete **Chapter I: Paving the Way** to unlock the free 6★ selector. This is the single most valuable F2P reward. Choose wisely -- you cannot undo this decision.

### Recommended Choices

#### Pogranichnik

Physical Team Core

* \-- 20% Breach debuff
* \-- SP economy master
* \-- Best Physical support

#### Ardelia

Universal Support

* \-- Healer + debuff
* \-- Fits any team
* \-- "Newbie's best friend"

#### Xaihi

Cryo Specialist

* \-- Cryo team mandatory
* \-- Massive Amp buffs
* \-- Healer included

### Who to Avoid

* \* **Ember** \-- While comfortable, better tanks available (Catcher 4★)
* \* **Wulfgard** \-- Good but limited to Heat teams only
* \* **Catcher** \-- 4★ alternative exists, selector too valuable

### F2P Team Compositions

#### Physical Team (Free + Selector)

**Main:** Endministrator (free 6★)  
**Support:** Pogranichnik (selector) or Chen Qianyu  
**Sub:** Lifeng  
**Flex:** Ardelia (healer)

#### Cryo Budget Team

**Main:** Estella (4★)  
**Support:** Alesh (4★)  
**Healer:** Xaihi (selector) or 4★ alternative  
**Flex:** Free slot

#### Electric F2P Team

**Main:** Avywenna (5★)  
**Support:** Perlica (5★)  
**Battery:** Antal (4★ -- best 4★ in game)  
**Flex:** Free slot

## 4★ Hidden Gems (F2P Must-Have)

These 4★ units punch above their weight and are essential for F2P teams. Don't dismiss them just because they're lower rarity.

#### Antal

Support | Electric/Heat

"Best of the 4-Stars" -- mandatory for Single-Target Electric/Heat teams due to unique multiplier coverage.

#### Akekuri

Support | Heat

Premier SP Battery for budget teams. Provides Link buffs which are major damage multipliers.

#### Alesh

Support | Cryo

Budget SP Battery. Uniquely force-converts Cryo Infliction into Solidification. Good with Estella.

#### Estella

Sub-DPS | Cryo

Premier Physical Debuffer for low-spec teams. Can spam skills to maintain high rotation speed.

#### Catcher

Tank | Physical

Budget alternative to Ember. Used for high-difficulty content where specific shielding is required.

### Pro Tip: Invest in 4★ Units

Build these 4★ units even if you have 5-6★ alternatives. They provide unique utility that high-rarity units sometimes lack. Antal in particular is used even by whales in endgame content.

## Gacha Strategy for F2P

### The Golden Rule: Skip 2 of 3 Banners

**Community Consensus** (Tip #528 - 1,471 upvotes): Never pull just for 30/60 pull rewards. Skip 2 out of every 3 banners on average. Only pull on units you actually want/need. Pull to pity on limited banners, not standard.

### Banner Types

#### Limited

Save all resources for these. Exclusive characters that may not return for months. **Pity carries over** to next limited banner.

#### Standard

Skip unless desperate for specific non-limited unit. **Pity does NOT carry** between standard banners.

#### Weapon

Only if you have main DPS and need weapon upgrade. Generally lower priority than character banners.

### Pity System Basics

* \* **Soft Pity:** Rates increase after certain pull count
* \* **Hard Pity:** Guaranteed 6★ at 70-80 pulls
* \* **Limited Pity:** Carries over to next limited banner
* \* **Standard Pity:** Separate from limited, does NOT carry

### Monthly F2P Income Estimate

| Source            | Oroberyl        |
| ----------------- | --------------- |
| Daily Quests      | \~12,000/month  |
| Weekly Objectives | \~8,000/month   |
| Events            | 5,000-15,000    |
| Total             | \~25,000-35,000 |

### Save for Limited Banners

With \~25-35 pulls per month from dailies, you need to save for **2-3 months** to guarantee a limited banner character (70-80 pulls). Be patient and don't get tempted by standard banners.

## Credit Shop Strategy

### Daily Must-Buys

| Item                    | Priority | Reason                    |
| ----------------------- | -------- | ------------------------- |
| Oroberyl                | CRITICAL | Limited stock, best value |
| Combat Records          | HIGH     | Character EXP essential   |
| Weapon Enhancement Mats | HIGH     | Weapon progression        |

### What to Skip

* \* Low-value consumables (craft instead)
* \* Gear you can craft yourself
* \* Overpriced materials (farm instead)

## Active Codes (Redeem Now)

These codes provide immediate T-Creds for pulls and upgrades. Redeem them before they expire!

#### ENDFIELDGIFT

* \-- 13,000 T-Creds
* \-- Advanced Combat Record ×2
* \-- Arms INSP Kit ×2

#### ENDFIELD4PC

## Valley 4 & Factory Income

### Valley 4 Income Cap

**Maximum:** 2,868,768 Stock Bills/day (1992.2 per minute with all bonuses)

_Source: Community Tip #522_

### Don't Over-Produce

Don't produce more goods than this limit unless transferring to Wuling. Excess production wastes resources. Optimize your factory to hit but not exceed this cap.

### Trading Tip: Canned Citrome C

**Better Than Buck Capsule:** Canned Citrome C is superior because all 3 outposts buy it (vs only Refugee Camp for Buck C), has the same recipe/value, and produces 24/min for same 240 bills as 120 Amethyst bottles.

## Common F2P Mistakes

### 1\. Pulling on Every Banner

**Problem:** Spreading resources thin, never reaching pity.  
**Fix:** Skip 2 of 3 banners. Save 70-80 pulls before pulling.

### 2\. Ignoring 4★ Units

**Problem:** Dismissing Antal, Akekuri, Alesh as "low rarity."  
**Fix:** These units provide unique utility. Build them alongside 5-6★ units.

### 3\. Not Claiming Authority Rewards

**Problem:** Missing 4,000+ Oroberyl from level milestones.  
**Fix:** Check Authority Level menu every few levels. Claim immediately.

### 4\. Wasting Sanity

**Problem:** Capping at 240/240 and not spending.  
**Fix:** Run T-Creds or EXP Protocol Spaces daily. Any run beats zero EXP.

### 5\. Over-Producing in Valley 4

**Problem:** Making goods beyond 2.8M daily cap.  
**Fix:** Stop at cap unless transferring to Wuling. Wastes resources otherwise.

### 6\. Bad 6★ Selector Choice

**Problem:** Picking based on looks rather than team needs.  
**Fix:** Choose Pogranichnik (Physical), Ardelia (Universal), or Xaihi (Cryo) based on your planned team.

### 7\. Neglecting Credit Shop

**Problem:** Missing daily Oroberyl and essential materials.  
**Fix:** Check credit shop daily. Buy Oroberyl and Combat Records.

### 8\. Not Redeeming Codes

**Problem:** Missing 26,000 free T-Creds.  
**Fix:** Redeem ENDFIELDGIFT and ENDFIELD4PC immediately.

## Quick Reference Checklists

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How much Oroberyl can F2P players earn in Endfield?

F2P players can earn approximately 8,000+ Oroberyl from one-time sources (Etchspace Salvage, Crisis Drills, Authority Level milestones, events) plus \~400 Oroberyl daily from quests and activities. This translates to roughly 25-35 pulls per month from daily income alone.

### When do I get the free 6★ selector?

The free 6★ selector unlocks after completing Chapter I: Paving the Way. This is the main story milestone that also unlocks Stock Redistribution, OMV Dijiang access, and other core systems. Choose wisely as you cannot change your selection.

### Which character should I pick from the free 6★ selector?

For most F2P players: Pogranichnik (best Physical support with 20% Breach debuff), Ardelia (universal healer + debuff, fits any team), or Xaihi (mandatory for Cryo teams). Avoid Ember (tanks are replaceable) and Wulfgard (Heat-only niche).

### What is the best F2P gacha strategy?

Skip 2 out of every 3 banners. Never pull just for 30/60 pull rewards. Save all resources for limited banners only. Limited banner pity carries over to the next limited banner. You need 70-80 pulls to guarantee a 6★ character.

### What are the best 4★ units for F2P?

Antal (best 4★ support, mandatory for Electric/Heat teams), Akekuri (premier SP Battery with Link buffs), Alesh (budget SP Battery, converts Cryo Infliction), Estella (Physical Debuffer, high rotation speed), and Catcher (budget tank). These often outperform 5★ units in specific roles.

### How do I maximize my daily income?

Complete the 15-20 minute daily routine: daily quests (400 Oroberyl), ship supplies (8 zones), deliveries (7 total), monitoring missions, spend all Sanity in Protocol Spaces, sell industrial products, and check credit shop. Weekly objectives add another \~2,000 Oroberyl.
