Arknights Endfield best team comps

Arknights Endfield best teams can help you clear all kinds of content, from breezing through the story, to taking on the toughest endgame challenges. While most gachas require good teams to win, Arknights Endfield is a little different in that building sub-standard teams doesn't just make battles harder - it can make them almost impossible.

Think of the best Arknights Endfield characters more like applicators and triggers. Support and sub DPS characters apply stacks, and your main damage-dealer "triggers" these stacks to perform massive damage. So as you can see, characters working together is far more important than just one DPS being buffed, as they will only be able to produce meagre damage numbers without their best applicator teammates.

To save you a lot of time studying character kits, here's all of the best teams in Arknights Endfield, including the best Heat team, the best Cryo team, the best Electric team, and the best Physical team.

Best Heat team in Arknights Endfield

The best Heat team in Arknights Endfield is:

• Laevatain
• Antal
• Ardelia
• Wulfgard or Akekuri

Laevatain is essential to have in this team, as she's a Striker, meaning she's your main damage-dealer here. Everybody else on the team is there to either buff her abilities while healing, like Ardelai and Antal, or build Heat Infliction, like Wulfgard and Akekuri. Choosing between Wulfgard or Akekuri comes down to whether you want more Heat Infliction (pick Wulfgard), or SP regeneration (pick Akekuri). You can also replace Antal and run both Wulfgard and Akekuri, if you need Antal elsewhere.

As more characters are released, it's likely Laevatain's best team comp will gradually change over time. So keep an eye out for any new characters that cause Heat Infliction, as that's what Laevatain's kit is built around. And of course, for any new meta support characters who provide better buffs, enemy debuffs, SP regeneration, or healing.

Best Cryo team in Arknights Endfield

The best Cryo team in Arknights Endfield is:

• Last Rite
• Xaihi
• Perlica
• Ardelia

Xaihi is perfect to run with Last Rite because she applies Cryo Infliction while also buffing and healing Last Rite; Ardelia does what Ardelia does as the current best Support in the game and also boosts damage while healing; and Perlica works with Last Rite because she applies Arts Susceptibility to increase Last Rite's damage even further. Alternatively, if you don't have Xaihi yet, you can replace her with either Snowshine or Fluorite in the meantime, with Snowshine being preferable. Just keep in mind that this team excels in single-target scenarios, not AOE.

To keep on top of Last Rite team comps in the future, look out for characters that apply a lot of Cryo Infliction, team buffs, enemy debuffs, or have a better Arts Susceptibility kit than Perlica.

Best Electric team in Arknights Endfield

The best Electric team in Arknights Endfield is:

• Avywenna
• Antal
• Perlica
• Arclight

It's likely Avywenna will be overtaken as the best Electric damage-dealer soon, as she's only a 5-star character. For now though, as she's a main DPS, Avywenna is essential to running the best Electric team in Arknights Enfield. Although her playstyle can be hard to master, I find Avywenna teams fun because you need to position her correctly to recall her Thunderlances in the right direction to hit enemies. There's room for error, yes, but it's nice to have something to do other than button mashing team skills.

Antal is fantastic in Avywenna teams for his Electric Susceptibility and Electric Amp in particular; Perlica is great for Electric Infliction; and Arclight is needed for the Electric Infliction of her Ultimate. As for future Electric team comps, I recommend looking out for 6-star Striker characters to replace Avywenna as your main Electric DPS.

Best Physical team in Arknights Endfield

The best Physical team in Arknights Endfield is:

• Endministrator
• Chen Qianyu
• Ardelia
• Pogranichnik or Lifeng

As you get Endministrator, Chen Qianyu, and Ardelia for free, this Physical team is actually a fantastic pick if you want a free-to-play experience in Arknights Endfield (and we have info on more Arknights Endfield free pulls here). The only hitch comes with getting Pogranichnik or Lifeng, as there's only a one in five chance of getting one of them from the standard banner. However, you can replace them with another character, like Ember, in the meantime.

While the Endministrator can take on the role of a damage-dealer or support, this team makes them your DPS via Crush damage after enough Vulnerability stacks are applied. Pogranichnik excels at restoring SP and applying attack buffs for the team, Chen provides Vulnerable stacks, and Lifeng applies Physical Susceptibility. However, be careful when using Lifeng, as the skill he needs to use won't work if the enemies have Vulnerable stacks - so start your rotations with Lifeng's skill to avoid losing out on his buffs.

Best free team in Arknights Endfield

The best free-to-play team in Arknights Endfield is:

• Da Pan
• Endministrator
• Chen Qianyu
• Ardelia

Why yes, this team does look very familiar, doesn't it? Basically, you're changing the best Physical team in the game to make Da Pan your main DPS via Crush damage after four Vulnerability stacks are applied to enemies. Everybody else's role stays the same except the Endministrator, who's now here to support Da Pan in a sort of sub DPS position. Then, if you happen to get Pogranichnik, Lifeng, or Ember from the standard banner, you can change this team very easily to the best Physical team in Arknights Endfield, as detailed above. Checking out the Arknights Endfield rerolls system can help you early on if you want certain characters.
