Whenever game gacha like Arknights: Endfield Upon release, one of the first questions on everyone's mind is how good some of the characters are. These games usually let you have one or two random characters of the highest rarity for free, but the direction of your account may depend on which character you get.
While most characters can easily help you in the early game, few can hold their own as the enemies get tougher and you participate in the ending. To keep up with this difficulty, it's important to focus on the best characters you have on your account.
The basis of this tier list
When it comes to a game like Arknights: Endfield where the characters are divided into different roles, weapon types and arts (elements)the list of levels is constantly changing. Some characters may feel good at the beginning of the game, but fall off as enemies increase due to their low damage and utility.
Some characters may not feel well yet, but improving as more characters are released into the game. With that in mind, this tier list focuses on the broader aspects of each character and what they can provide to the team. It puts a strain on the cost of using a character and the impact they have on combat.
For example, if two characters have the same effects, but one of them has it on a combat skill and the other on a combo skill, the other one will be a better character.
This is above all because combo skills are free while combat skills consume your skill points.
With that in mind, we've split the tier list into four different tiers and here's what each represents:
|
Tier |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Level S+ |
This level includes the best characters in the game, which will easily allow you to beat the ending. The the damage or utility they provide to the team is undeniable. You will be here you will usually find characters with interlaced writingbut some may appear from other banners. |
|
Level S |
Characters at this level are still excellent at clearing all types of content, but they have a little more downside compared to S+ characters. |
|
Level |
The third level includes all the characters who feel very good at the beginning of the game, but slowly decline over time. These also feel like characters that can be easily powercrypted. |
|
Level B |
Finally, this tier includes some characters that just don't provide that much value to the team, considering the cost of using their abilities and the team slot they occupy. |
Arknights: Endfield – All currencies and how to get them
Arknights: Endfield has a bunch of different currencies that you'll need to farm for different reasons, and here's what they all do.
All S+ level characters
Here are all the S+ level characters and why they are so good in the game:
|
Name |
Picture |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Laevatain |
|
Laevatain is undoubtedly the best starting character simply because of that excels in damage output regardless of whether you are facing multiple enemies or just one boss. She also feels very easy to control because her best team includes everyone characters that are either free or easily obtainable. |
|
Gilbert |
|
Gilberta undoubtedly has some of the best uses in Arknights: Endfield that she can get draw enemies towards you, apply wounds and susceptibility them. |
|
Ardelia |
|
Ardelia is surprisingly good considering she's a free six-star character you can get by logging in daily. The The main reason is that it is self-sufficient. Can apply corrosion while also using it to apply susceptibility to enemies, which increases the damage of the entire team. In addition, he also maintains the team. |
|
Pogranichnik |
|
If you've taken part in the fight in Arknights: Endfield, you'll already understand how difficult it is manage your skill points and don't deplete them. Pogranichnik is the perfect character to prevent this can recharge a ton of SP with all his abilities. |
All S level characters
Here are all the characters that are still generally good in the game, but fall slightly below the best units:
|
Name |
Picture |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Antal |
|
As a four-star, Antal occupies a respectable position in the tier list due to prime buffs that he can provide. It can provide both Sensitivity and amplifier for electrical and thermal artswhich makes him a staple of these teams. |
|
The last rite |
|
Last Rite is one of the best characters to pull into a standard banner as only she can function as a phenomenal DPS for your account. She has a high demand for Cryo Inflictionsbut it can be solved by using the right teammates. |
|
Yvonne |
|
Yvonne is the only signed banner character in version 1.0 that is not S+ level, and that mainly due to its single-target nature her sets. Most times when you are in combat, you will be fighting multiple enemies and her Ultimate becomes very inconvenient to use in these cases. |
|
Lifeng |
|
Lifeng is probably one of the best units to use alongside physical DPS characters as it can use a lot of vulnerable to the enemy. Furthermore, if used correctly, he Physical susceptibility also applies on enemies and deal respectable damage. |
|
Terminal administrator |
|
The main character of Arknights: Endfield is surprisingly good and mainly revolves around inserting enemies into Originium crystals and breaking them. They can easily take you through the early game if you have the right characters, and still be decent in the late game. |
|
Avywenna |
|
Not everyone can have six-star DPS and units on their account Avywenna is the perfect character for them. It also requires a bit more skill than other characters because you have to pay attention to its placement, which makes her one of the funniest characters use. |
All A level characters
These characters are still usable, but can be easy powercreep in the future:
|
Name |
Picture |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Ember |
|
While Ember has decent utility in her gear, mostly revolves around attacking your teamwhich is generally not a good target in battle. If her Ultimate did a a little more than just protecting the teamshe could be in a better place. |
|
Fluorite |
|
If you're building a team for Cryo and Nature Infliction, Fluorite can easily be the main character in them as she can use a ton of these injuries. The only problem is her reliance on other characters to enforce these offences. |
|
Yes Pan |
|
Da Pan can deal tons of damage to enemies once they have four stacks of vulnerability but Endadministrator can do it better in most situations. However, if you like this character, he can hold his own in most battles. |
|
Akekuri |
|
As mentioned, SP regeneration is one of the most important roles in Arknights: Endfield and Akekuri's one of the best F2P options for this. |
|
Wulfgard |
|
Wulfgard is a strange character as can be great for using Heat Infliction on enemiesbut some of his powers are also for selfish use. Generally, you'd want to use him as a support, which forces you to ignore part of his kit. |
|
Xaihi |
|
Xaihi has a lot of useful features in his kit if you're building a Cryo team, as he can use Cryo Infliction and provide Booster to her team for Cryo and nature. |
|
Estella |
|
While Estella has a lot of Infliction in her kit, she does just fine if your team is a mix of physical and cryo unitswhich is usually very narrowly specialized. |
|
Alesh |
|
Alesh can and can be a great teammate for Endministrator a decent SP regeneration unit for the team in general. |
|
Chen Qianyu |
|
Chen Qianyu is great for applying multiple physical status effects on the enemy and she is one of the best teammates for the physical team. |
All B level characters
Finally, it is quite difficult to get good value from these characters because they they just don't have enough utility for ending:
|
Name |
Picture |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Arclight |
|
While Arclight is good for Electric teams, just there there aren't many Electric characters in high rarity at the moment. Also, how many times does he need to use his skill to activate the bonus ability is too expensive for SP. |
|
Pearl |
|
Perlica feels great in the early game because she can blast enemies with her Ultimate, but outside of Endministrator, it doesn't offer much in other teams. |
|
Snowfall |
|
Snowshine is a decent healer, but since then she has lacked utility on the team The skill relies on parrying an enemy attack. |
|
Catcher |
|
Catcher is probably the most difficult character in Endfield as only provides shield for the most part. His Ultimate also has a Weaken effect that reduces enemy damage, but that's not very useful once you get used to fighting. |
