Gaming: Upcoming Arknights: Endfield Tier List And Best Characters

Find out which operators to prioritise on Talos-II.

Creating an Arknights: Endfield tier list isn't quite as difficult as you'd think. Sure, we don't really know who performs best in the endgame yet, and won't until after launch, but similar to Zenless Zone Zero, the usefulness of characters is primarily dependent on which type of team they perform best in. A character can be good because they're versatile and free-to-play friendly, or because they're currently the meta DPS or support for a specific art.

Since Arknights: Endfield features elemental arts and combo skills which activate upon fulfilling specific conditions, such as reactions, team comp is the be-all and end-all. Currently, the top-tier teams are cryo and heat (though the latter has far fewer characters), though neither is free-to-play friendly, since they require six-star characters to shine. On the other hand, electric and cryo/physical hybrid teams are very free-to-play friendly, since most of the characters you need are four or five-stars.

I'll rate each character below based on how valuable they are in their best team comp, or based on the fact that they're very strong and versatile, slotting into most teams, such as Gilberta, Ardelia, and Akekuri. I'll also give you an idea of how their kit works and who their best comp involves. Hopefully, this will give you an idea of who's worth investing in and what kind of team you want to run, based on who you end up pulling.

It's worth noting that while there is a chance to pull both Yvonne and Gilberta on Laevatain's banner when the game launches, they will each have their own dedicated banners in February.

Avywenna, Xaihi, Akekuri, Pogranichnik, Antal, Wulfgard, Perlica, Ember, Lifeng

Endministrator, Arclight, Alesh, Chen Qianyu, Estella, Fluorite, Snowshine

This heat-based damage-dealer is one of the best in the game and a meta pick for fire teams. This is thanks to her Twilight ultimate, which transforms her basic attacks into wide-ranging fiery slashes, and she particularly shines when fighting lots of enemies due to this AoE damage.

Ideally, you pair her with other characters who can easily apply Heat Infliction, like Wulfgard, since she absorbs it through her Scorching Heart talent and turns it into Melting Flame, a resource she uses to trigger Combustion on enemies with her battle skill. Combustion also triggers her combo skill, both of which provide ultimate energy.
