Yvonne Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1 | Battle Skill Combo Skill Battle Skill |
| 2 | Combo Skill Combo Skill Battle Skill |
Yvonne Team Ultimate Activation Order
| 1 | Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate |
Since Tangtang's Battle Skill quickly applies Cryo Infliction, if there is no need to group enemies, it is recommended to use Tangtang's Battle Skill followed by Yvonne's Battle Skill to trigger Solidification.
Additionally, when activating Yvonne's Ultimate, use Tangtang's Ultimate to incapacitate enemies to reduce the risk of counterattacks.
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.

Best Team is Laevatain-Focused

| Laevatain | Wulfgard | Akekuri | Ardelia |
The best team in Arknights: Endfield is a Laevatain-centered Heat Team. It is particularly powerful against multiple enemies with its high damage & wide-range attack when the Ultimate is activated.
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 | Battle Skill Combo Skill Combo Skill Combo Skill |
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.

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 | Battle Skill Combo Skill Combo Skill Battle Skill 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 a Battle Skill consumes an Originium Crystal, 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 - Use Battle Skill before applying Vulnerable |
| 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.

| 2 | Ultimate Battle Skill |

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 | Battle Skill Combo Skill Combo Skill Battle Skill Ultimate |
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.
