Published: February 1, 2026Updated: Mar 7, 2026

A comprehensive starter guide covering the basics of Arknights: Endfield, from combat mechanics to base building and team composition.

Welcome to Endfield

Arknights: Endfield is an open-world strategy RPG set in the Arknights universe. As the Endministrator, you'll lead a team of Operators on expeditions across the wilderness of Talos-II.

Getting Started

When you first begin your journey, focus on these priorities:

  • Complete the Main Story — Progress through the main campaign to unlock key features like the Workshop, Base, and Gacha system.
  • Build Your Core Team — Focus on 4-6 Operators and level them evenly rather than spreading resources thin.
  • Explore the Map — Talos-II is filled with hidden treasures, materials, and optional bosses that reward exploration.

Combat Basics

Endfield uses a real-time tactical combat system. Position your Operators carefully and use their skills at the right time:

  • Vanguards lead the charge and generate deployment points.
  • Defenders hold the front line and absorb damage.
  • Strikers deal high single-target or AoE damage.
  • Supporters provide healing, buffs, and crowd control.
  • Casters deal elemental damage from range.
  • Guards offer balanced offense and defense.

Elemental System

Understanding element matchups is crucial for tackling tough content:

  • Heat is strong against Nature
  • Cryo is strong against Heat
  • Nature is strong against Electric
  • Electric is strong against Cryo
  • Physical has no elemental weakness or advantage

Resource Management Tips

  1. Save premium currency (Originium Prime) for limited banners.
  2. Farm daily resource stages for Operator upgrade materials.
  3. Check the store regularly for discounted items.
  4. Prioritize weapon upgrades for your main DPS units.

Reroll Guide

  1. Complete the tutorial (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. Collect all available pre-registration and launch rewards.
  3. Pull on the beginner banner for a guaranteed 6-star Operator.
  4. Aim for top-tier Operators like Laevatain, Ardelia, or Lifeng.
