The Best Team is Laevatain-focused
| DPS | Inflict Heat | Recover SP | Recover HP |
 Laevatain | Wulfgard | Akekuri | Ardelia |
The best team in Arknights: Endfield is a Laevatain-centered Heat Team with excellent damage and range.
This team manages Laevatain’s unique stack, Melting Flame, through Heat Infliction and Combustion, while dealing high damage AoE attacks by chaining her Ultimate → Basic Attack with Battle Skills and Combo Skills.
 Tips! | When Melting Flame reaches 4 stacks, activate Laevatain's Battle Skill. The high-damage follow-up attack, which ignores Heat Resistance, further boosts her overall damage. |
|---|
Laevatain Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Akekuri's Battle Skill + Wulfgard's Combo Skill |
| 2. | Final Strike + Ardelia's Combo Skill + Laevatain's Combo Skill |
| 3. | Once you have 4 stacks of Melting Flame, activate Laevatain's Ultimate. |
The main strategy revolves around stacking Heat Infliction quickly using Akekuri's Battle Skill and Wulfgard's Combo Skill, all while building up Melting Flame stacks with your Final Strikes. Once you reach 4 Melting Flame stacks, unleash Laevatain's Ultimate to deal massive damage and rapidly recharge your Ultimate Gauge.
How to Play During Laevatain's Ultimate
While Laevatain's Ultimate is active, her Basic Attacks and Battle Skill are enhanced. Focus on using her enhanced Basic Attacks, and as soon as you reach 4 Melting Flame stacks, cast her Battle Skill to deal damage.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
 Antal | - Replace Akekuri or Ardelia - Excellent Heat Susceptibility and Heat Amp - Increases damage against Single-Targets |
Yvonne-focused Cryo Team
| DPS | Cryo Amp | Crowd Control + DPS Support | Cryo Infliction |
| Yvonne | Xaihi | Gilberta | Tangtang |
A Solidification team centered around Yvonne is highly effective. She controls the field by Solidifying enemies and deals massive burst damage with her Ultimate.
The strategy involves applying Cryo/Nature → Solidifying with Yvonne's Battle Skill → using Final Strikes and Combo Skills to charge Ultimate Energy. Once Yvonne's Ultimate is charged, aim for massive damage with Yvonne's Enhanced Basic Attack.
Yvonne Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1 | Use Gilberta's Battle Skill or Tangtang's Battle Skill to inflict Cryo → Solidify with Yvonne's Battle Skill. |
| 2 | Final Strike the Solidified enemy → Shatter with Gilberta's Combo → Re-apply Solidification with Yvonne's Combo Skill. |
| 3 | Yvonne's Combo Skill → Xaihi's Ultimate → Yvonne's Ultimate → Gilberta's Ultimate 2-3 seconds later |
Start by applying Solidification to enemies affected by Cryo or Nature Infliction using Yvonne's Battle Skill. Next, land a Final Strike and then activate Gilberta's Combo Skill. Gilberta's combo will trigger Shatter, setting you up to use Yvonne's Combo Skill to apply Solidification all over again.
| Tips! | Yvonne's Talent ensures she deals increased DMG to Solidified enemies. Use her Combo Skill to keep the enemy locked down during her Ultimate animation. |
|---|
When to Use Gilberta's Ultimate
Yvonne's Ultimate lasts for 7 seconds, while Gilberta's lasts for 5 seconds. If you activate Gilberta's Ultimate right around the time Yvonne crouches down to shoot, you can keep the enemy afflicted with Susceptibility straight through to the final, heavy-hitting attack.
Recommended Replacements

Last Rite-focused Cryo Team
| DPS | Cryo Amp | Cryo Infliction | Cryo Infliction |
| Last Rite | Xaihi | Tangtang | Fluorite |
In Endfield, Cryo teams built around Last Rite, which delivers high damage, are also highly effective. This team composition focuses on raising Cryo to Level 3 and dealing massive single-target damage through Last Rite's powerful Combo Skill.
Last Rite Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Tangtang's Battle Skill → Combo Skill → Battle Skill applies Arts Susceptibility |
| 2. | Fluorite's Combo Skill → Last Rite's Combo Skill |
With Tangtang's Battle Skill→Combo Skill→Battle Skill combo, you can apply 2 stacks of Cryo Infliction while also inflicting Arts Susceptibility, allowing you to follow up with Fluorite's Combo Skill→Last Rite's Combo Skill.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Snowshine | - Replace with Tangtang or Fluorite - Can heal using her Combo Skill - Battle Skill can apply Protection and Cryo Infliction |
| Ardelia | - Replace with Fluorite - A healer that can apply Arts Susceptibility - Ultimate can heal large amounts of HP |
| Estella | - Replace with Tangtang - Easy to use Cryo Infliction |
Endmin-focused Physical Team
| DPS | SP Recovery | Inflict Lift | Recover HP |
| Endministrator | Pogranichnik | Chen Qianyu | Ember |
A Physical team composition built around the Endministrator is also highly effective, offering multiple ways to deal massive damage. The core strategy revolves around building up Vulnerable stacks and consuming them with the Endministrator's or Pogranichnik's Battle Skills to unleash heavy bursts of damage.
Endmin Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Chen Battle Skill → Chen Combo Skill → Endministrator Combo Skill |
| 2. | At 4 stacks of Vulnerable, Endministrator Battle Skill → Pogranichnik Combo Skill |
The basic rotation is to use Chen's Battle Skill → Combo Skill to build up Vulnerable while linking into the Endministrator's Combo Skill.
Once Vulnerable reaches 4 stacks, you can use the Endministrator's Ultimate to consume them, then chain directly into Pogranichnik's Combo Skill to deal massive damage while recovering a large amount of SP.
How to Use Originium Crystals
The Endministrator's Combo Skill applies Originium Crystal to enemies. It is recommended to consume this with the Endministrator's Battle Skill or Ultimate.
If an Originium Crystal is consumed by a Battle Skill, 50 SP is restored due to the Endministrator's P1 effect. If consumed by an Ultimate, it will deal additional high-multiplier damage.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
 Lifeng | - Replace with Endministrator or Pogranichnik - Deals high damage with Physical Susceptibility and Link - Consumes Vulnerable when using a Battle Skill |
 Da Pan | - Replace with Endministrator - Activates Combo Skill at 4 stacks of Vulnerable - Consumes Vulnerable without using SP |
| Akekuri | - Replace with Pogranichnik - Recovers SP with Combo Skill and Ultimate |
 Catcher | - Replace with Ember - A Healer who can apply Vulnerable - Contributes to survivability with Protective Shields and Weaken |
Managing Vulnerable is crucial for Physical teams. There are many replacement options, but be aware that if the ratio of characters who apply vs. consume Vulnerable is unbalanced, you won't be able to deal damage effectively.
Recommended Low-Rarity Teams

  ▼Avywenna Team |
| ▼Endministrator Team |
Avywenna-focused Electric Team
The Avywenna-focused Electric team is a composition that can be formed using only 5-Star or lower characters, and it's also easy to deal high damage with Arts Infliction.
The characters used in the team above are flexible, and since combos starting from Electric Infliction and Electrification are core game mechanics, even beginners can use this team with confidence.
Avywenna Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Apply Electric Infliction or Electrification with Perlica's Battle Skill or Combo Skill |
| 2. | Place a Thunderlance with Avywenna's Final Strike and activate her Combo Skill |
| 3. | Retrieve the Thunderlance with Avywenna's Battle Skill |
| 4. | As soon as it's ready, place a Thunderlance EX with Avywenna's Ultimate |
| 5. | Retrieve it with Avywenna's Battle Skill for Massive DMG |
Use Perlica's Battle Skill or Combo Skill to inflict Electric Infliction or Electrification. Then, a recommended strategy is deploying a Thunderlance with Avywenna's Final Strike to deal damage while retrieving it with her Battle Skill. Activate her Ultimate as soon as it is fully charged.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Ardelia | - Replace Snowshine - Excellent Corrosion/Arts Susceptibility - Can also heal with her Battle Skill and Ultimate |
| Gilberta | - Replace Snowshine - Her enemy-pulling ability enhances control in group battles - Her damage support via Arts Susceptibility is powerful |

Replacement options for an Avywenna-focused team include Ardelia, Gilberta, and Antal. Ardelia offers strong healing, Gilberta excels at enemy grouping, and Antal provides support by continuously applying Electric Susceptibility to a single target.
Endministrator + Free Character Team
| DPS | Inflict Lift | DPS Support | Tank |
| Endministrator | Chen Qianyu | Perlica | Snowshine |
This is a free-to-play team composition capable of clearing the entire Endfield story.
Since this team is built around the Endministrator and uses free characters, gradually improve it toward the ideal composition based on the characters you obtain.
| Tips! | If dodging enemy attacks is challenging, it’s recommended to make Perlica the active character. Attacking after creating distance from enemies will make evasion easier. |
|---|
Endministrator Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Team Member Combo Skill → Endministrator Combo Skill |
| 2. | Endministrator Combo Skill → Endministrator Ultimate or Battle Skill |
The Endministrator can trigger its Combo Skill whenever any team member uses a Combo Skill. After triggering the Combo Skill, deal damage by using the Endministrator’s Ultimate, or his Battle Skill if the Ultimate is not yet charged.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Ardelia | Snowshine → Ardelia Improves overall team stability through HP recovery and enhances the damage output of the Endministrator and Chen by applying Physical Susceptibility. |
| Ember | Snowshine → Ember Enhances team durability through HP recovery from her Combo Skill and a Shield provided by her Ultimate. The easy activation condition for her Combo Skill is an additional advantage. |
| Pogranichnik | Perlica → Pogranichnik He can recover SP through his Combo Skill and Ultimate, increasing how often the entire team can use their Battle Skills. |
| Last Rite | Perlica → Last Rite Her Combo Skill and Ultimate deal extremely high damage. Frequently use Last Rite’s Battle Skill to trigger her Combo Skill. |
| Lifeng | Perlica → Lifeng He has strong synergy with the Physical-focused Endministrator. Using Lifeng’s Battle Skill followed by a Final Strike to trigger his Combo Skill is particularly effective. |
Since the team is centered around the Endministrator, it is typically paired with Chen Qianyu, who has strong synergy with Physical attacks.
For Snowshine’s and Perlica’s slots, choose based on the characters you have available, then gradually replace them as you work toward the ideal team composition.
| Tips! | Eventually, it’s ideal to replace the Endministrator and Chen Qianyu as well, moving closer to the strongest team composition mentioned above. |
