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 | Crowd Control + DPS Support | SP Recovery |
| Yvonne | Xaihi | Gilberta | Alesh |
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 Xaihi's Combo Skill or Gilberta's Battle Skill to inflict Cryo/Nature → 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 |
The basic combo is to repeat the sequence of Inflict Cryo/Nature → Solidify with Yvonne's Battle Skill → Final Strike → build Ultimate Energy with Yvonne's Combo Skill. Once your Ultimate Energy is full, confirm that the enemy is Solidified and then start your Ultimate combo.
| 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. |
|---|
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Perlica | - Swap with Alesh - Boosts Arts DMG via Electrification - Time Perlica's Combo Skill with Yvonne's Ultimate |
 Snowshine | - Swap with Alesh - Applies Cryo Infliction with Combat Skill and Solidification with Ultimate - High-synergy healer for Yvonne's kit |
| Last Rite | - Swap with Alesh - Reliable Cryo Infliction with SP Reduction - Can also be used as a sub-DPS |
For Yvonne's team, recommended replacements include Perlica, who can further increase Yvonne's damage with her Combo Skill's Electrification, and Snowshine and Last Rite, who can apply Cryo Infliction.
Last Rite-focused Cryo Team
| DPS | Inflict Cryo | Recover HP + Debuff | DPS Support |
| Last Rite | Xaihi | Ardelia | Perlica |
In Endfield, Cryo teams built around Last Rite are also highly effective.
This team focuses on building Cryo to Stage 3 and dealing massive single-target DMG through Last Rite's powerful Combo Skill and Ultimate.
| Tips! | Time Xaihi's Cryo Amp Ultimate and Perlica's Electrification (applied via her Combo Skill) with Last Rite's Ultimate to deal massive DMG. |
|---|
Last Rite Team Basic Combo & Strategy
| 1. | Xaihi's Battle Skill → Last Rite's Battle Skill → Final Strike to inflict Cryo |
| 2. | Last Rite's Battle Skill → Final Strike → Xaihi's Combo Skill → Last Rite's Combo Skill |
| 3. | For Ardelia, wait about 3s after her Combo Skill → her Battle Skill |
| 4. | If conditions are not met, defer activating Perlica's Combo Skill |
Stage 3 Cryo Infliction is achieved after two rotations of Last Rite's Battle Skill → Final Strike + Xaihi's Combo Skill, establishing this sequence as the standard rotation; due to the short uptime of Electrification applied by Perlica’s Combo Skill, it should be triggered immediately before Last Rite’s Combo Skill or Ultimate to ensure maximum damage amplification.
| Tips! | Ardelia's Combo Skill has a brief delay before applying Corrosion to the target. After activating her Combo Skill, pause momentarily before casting her Battle Skill to ensure Susceptibility is applied reliably. |
|---|
Recommended Replacements
| Character | Explanation |
| Snowshine | - Replace Perlica - Inflicts Cryo with her Battle Skill's counter - Provides more healing with her Combo Skill |
| Gilberta | - Replace Perlica - Groups enemies and inflicting Arts Susceptibility ↪ Causes Nature Infliction, making skill rotation more difficult |
 Fluorite | - Replace Perlica - Quick Advance of Cryo Infliction stages via Combo Skill and Ultimate ↪The drawback is her Combo Skill’s 40s cooldown |
Recommended replacements for Last Rite's party are Snowshine, Gilberta, and Fluorite.
Snowshine is a healer who can apply Cryo through her Battle Skill. Gilberta provides strong enemy grouping with her Battle Skill, and her Ultimate applies a debuff that enhances overall team damage, making enemy waves easier to clear. Fluorite helps advance Cryo Infliction stages, increasing opportunities to trigger Combo Skills.
| Tips! | Although Gilberta's Battle Skill provides strong enemy grouping, note that it can slightly delay Cryo Infliction stage progression, as it also applies Nature Infliction. |
|---|
Lifeng-focused Physical Team
| DPS | SP Recovery | 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 execute a self-contained combo sequence by first applying Physical Susceptibility with his Battle Skill, then performing Final Strike → Combo Skill on a target afflicted with Physical Susceptibility to generate a Link, and finally activating his Ultimate to trigger a follow-up attack while Link is active. Accordingly, the team composition and rotation should be structured to facilitate and reinforce this execution flow. |
|---|
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 with 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.

  ▼Avywenna 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 |
| Antal | - Use when lacking a DPS - Powerful Electric Susceptibility - Use as a secondary damage supporter |

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. |
| Gilberta | Snowshine → Gilberta Excels at supporting Physical attackers by lifting enemies, while the Weaken effect from Arts Susceptibility provides additional strong utility. |
| 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. |
| Character | Explanation |
| 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. |
