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.
This team manages Laevatain’s unique stack, Melting Flame, through Heat Infliction and Combustion, while dealing high damage 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. | After Laevatain's Ultimate, spam Basic Attacks + her Battle Skill at 4 Melting Flame stacks |
The core strategy is to advance Heat Infliction using Akekuri's Battle Skill and Wulfgard's Combo Skill, while building Melting Flame stacks with Final Strikes. Once Laevatain's Ultimate is activated, spam her Basic Attacks and use her Battle Skill when Melting Flame reaches 4 stacks.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
 Antal | - Replace Akekuri - Excellent Heat Susceptibility and Heat Amp - Easy to activate his Combo Skill |
Antal is also a viable replacement for Akekuri. He can both buff and debuff, further enhancing Laevatain's damage. In addition, his Combo Skill has a lenient activation condition, making it easier to progress the Heat Infliction stage.
Yvonne-focused Cryo Team
| DPS | Inflict Cryo | Inflict Nature | Damage Support |
| Yvonne | Xaihi | Gilberta | Perlica |
The strongest single-target team in Arknights: Endfield is a Cryo team centered around Yvonne.
The main strategy is a combo of applying Arts Infliction with Xaihi or Gilberta, then causing Solidification with Yvonne's Battle Skill. When the Ultimate is charged, aim for massive damage with the Enhanced Basic Attack.
Yvonne Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Group enemies and inflict Nature Infliction with Gilberta's or Xaihi's Battle Skill |
| 2. | Induce Solidification with Yvonne's Battle Skill |
| 3. | Yvonne's Final Strike |
| 4. | Inflict Electrification with Perlica's Combo Skill + Yvonne's Combo Skill |
| 5. | Use Yvonne's Ultimate against strong enemies. |
The primary strategy is to apply Solidification with Yvonne's Battle Skill, then trigger a combo via a Final Strike. Accumulate Ultimate Energy to unleash her Ultimate.
You can effectively manage groups of enemies by combining the pull effect from Yvonne's Combo Skill with Gilberta's crowd control.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Snowshine | - Replace Xaihi or Gilberta - Increased durability with Protection - Can support Yvonne by inflicting Cryo |
 Estella | - Swap with Xaihi or Gilberta - Can inflict Cryo with her Battle Skill - Her Combo Skill has good synergy with Yvonne |
If Xaihi or Gilberta are unavailable, you can substitute with Snowshine or Estella. Snowshine is valuable for her Cryo infliction and enhanced durability, while Estella is recommended for her Cryo infliction and Combo Skill, which synergizes effectively with Yvonne.
Last Rite-focused Cryo Team
| DPS | Tank | Inflict Cryo | Increase Cryo |
| Last Rite | Snowshine | Xaihi | Fluorite |
This is a Cryo team centered around Last Rite. Maintaining a high activation frequency for Last Rite's Combo Skill is crucial, so inflict Cryo with Xaihi and Snowshine, and use Fluorite's Combo Skill to advance the Cryo stage.
| Tips! | Inflicting 3 Cryo stages boosts the activation frequency of Last Rite's Combo Skill, allowing her Ultimate to be used more often. |
|---|
Last Rite Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Last Rite Battle Skill → Final Strike for Cryo Infliction |
| 2. | Xaihi Battle Skill → Last Rite Battle Skill → Final Strike |
| 3. | Fluorite Combo → Last Rite Combo |
| 4. | Use Xaihi's Ultimate before Last Rite's Ultimate |
This combo increases the frequency of Last Rite’s Combo Skill by stacking Cryo Infliction up to three times. Allocate SP to Last Rite and Xaihi, then repeatedly use Last Rite’s Battle Skill and Combo Skill to build toward her high-damage Ultimate.
| Tips! | You won't use Fluorite's Battle Skill in this team because it applies Nature Infliction, but she has good synergy since her Combo Skill and Ultimate can build up Cryo Infliction. |
|---|
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Gilberta | - Replace Snowshine - Her enemy-pulling ability enhances control in group battles - Her damage support via Arts Susceptibility is also powerful |
| Ardelia | - Swap with Snowshine - Excellent Corrosion/Arts Susceptibility - Can also heal with her Battle Skill and Ultimate |
Recommended replacements for Last Rite's party are Gilberta and Ardelia.
Last Rite's main drawback is her narrow effect radius, but Gilberta can compensate for this with her enemy grouping ability. Ardelia excels at providing damage support through HP recovery and Arts Susceptibility.
Lifeng-focused Physical Team
| DPS | Sub-DPS | Inflict Lift | Recover HP |
| Lifeng | Pogranichnik | Chen Qianyu | Ardelia |
This is a Physical team centered on Lifeng, who can deal a high-damage combo with his Ultimate in the Link state.
On a Lifeng team, you can chain his combo while recovering SP with Pogranichnik's Skill. The team has high burst damage and sustained damage, making it versatile and effective in many situations.
| Tips! | Lifeng can inflict Physical Susceptibility by striking an enemy not currently in the Vulnerable state with his Battle Skill. Before using the skill, ensure the enemy is not Vulnerable. |
|---|
Lifeng Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Lifeng's Battle Skill + Final Strike + Lifeng's Combo Skill |
| 2. | If Vulnerable is built up, use Pogranichnik's Battle Skill (If you can charge it, aim for 3 stacks or higher) |
| 3. | Use Lifeng's Ultimate in the Link state |
The basic strategy is to aim for Lifeng's sequence of Battle Skill → Final Strike → Combo Skill → Ultimate. He can handle everything from inflicting Physical Susceptibility and acquiring Link to dealing high-damage follow-up attacks all by himself.
If Vulnerable is built up before Lifeng's combo, use Pogranichnik's Battle Skill to consume it. This will recover SP with the Combo Skill and lead into Lifeng's combo.
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
 Endministrator | - Swap to Pogranichnik - Vulnerable Consume with Crush from the Battle Skill - Combo Skill → Massive DMG via Physical Status |
 Ember | - Swap with Ardelia - A healer who can apply Vulnerable - Also grants a Shield with their Ultimate |
The Endministrator is a strong replacement option for Lifeng’s team. Activate their Battle Skill after a Combo Skill to deal damage and consume the Vulnerable status, then follow up with Lifeng’s Battle Skill to extend the damage chain. Pairing the team with Ember as a healer who can apply Physical Status is also an effective strategy.

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.

| 1. | Team Member Combo Skill → Endministrator Combo Skill |
| 2. | Endministrator Combo Skill → Endministrator Ultimate or Battle Skill |

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.
