Last Rite Build Guide

Last Rite Xaihi Akekuri Ardelia

Last Rite is already very efficient at applying Cryo Inflictions with her Battle Skill, so the rest of the team can be used for support. Xaihi Amps with her Ultimate, heals, and applies Cryo Infliction. Ardelia provides Arts Susceptibility, can hold Eternal Xiranite and even more healing. Akekuri is great for SP Generation, hold Thermite Cutter and apply Link with her Ultimate. If you don't have Thermite Cutter, her value drops considerably and you can replace her with the following options:

• Perlica - More buffing through Electrification (Combo / SP Free) and Stanza of Memorials
• Fluorite - Extra Cryo Inflictions at no cost (but a really long cooldown)

Yvonne Team

Interestingly enough, Last Rite is a great teammate for Yvonne, but not vice versa. If you want Last Rite to deal the most damage, you do not want Yvonne. But you can enable your Yvonne with Last Rite's Cryo application.

Yvonne Xaihi Last Rite Fluorite

Weapons

Best-in-Slot: Khravengger (Highly Recommended)
Alt: Sundered Prince
Alt: Seeker of Dark Lung

Last Rite’s Signature Weapon is by far the best option for her. It provides a lot of Cryo DMG that scales even further with the number of Cryo Inflictions on the enemy. Making her Combo Skill hits even harder.

Sundered Prince is an alternative option that provides a lot of ATK for her, but requires Last Rite to be the controlled operator. If that’s also not an option for you, Seeker of Dark Lung can help with some Ultimate Energy Generation and ATK.

Note: Seeker of Dark Lung is more than enough if using for Yvonne team.

Gear

• Gear Set: Tide Surge
• Armor: Frontiers Armor
• Gloves: Tide Surge Gauntlets
• Kit 1: Hanging River 02 Tube
• Kit 2: Hanging River 02 Tube

No reason to use anything else, Tide Surge fits perfectly with Last Rite and the individual pieces give desired stats. The only slot with some flexibility is her Armor slot, which you can change depending on your needs:

• Both Frontiers Armor and Aethertech Plating are generic options with great stats for Last Rite, especially at lower potentials.
• Tide Fall Light Armor in case you want some Ultimate Gain Efficiency for better rotations.
• Bonekrusha Poncho is great if you're using Seeker of Dark Lung or your Last Rite is above Potential 3.
• In case you're using Last Rite for Yvonne teams, Frontiers Armor T1 is a good alternative since Last Rite role in the team is to apply Cryo Inflictions with her Battle Skill.

Combo Skill >= Ultimate > Battle Skill = Basic Attack

Level up skills according to your resources, focusing on Combo Skill and Ultimate since these are Last Rite’s main sources of damage.

• P1 Undertaker's Gift
• P2 Absolute Zero Armament
• P3 Overlord of Winter
• P4 Sincere Wake
• P5 Winter is Returning

Last Rite’s Potentials are surprisingly underwhelming. All of them increase Last Rite’s Damage, but only Potential 3 onwards stands out, since they increase the damage of her Combo Skill, reduces the Ultimate Cost (which is massive) and also returns extra SP after using her Battle Skill, meaning more Cryo Inflictions.

Keep in mind that vertically investing in Arknights Endfield is not recommended and you should treat these as a bonus damage/utility for your Operator.

Last Rite is a Cryo Operator that wants as many Cryo Inflictions as possible so you can play around her Combo Skill. It consumes Cryo Inflictions from enemies, dealing damage, generating Ultimate Energy and applying Cryo Susceptibility. But to trigger it, the enemy must have 3 or more Cryo Inflictions and the damage, Ultimate Energy and Susceptibility scales with the number of Cryo Inflictions consumed.

Her Battle Skill helps with this, as it allows the Controlled Operator’s next Final Strike to apply Cryo Infliction. But that’s her only source of Cryo Infliction, meaning that to achieve 3 or more Inflictions you will need a lot of extra sources.

The Ultimate also deals a lot of damage but has a high energy cost. Last Rite’s Combat Talents increases the Ultimate Damage if the enemy is under Cryo Susceptibility, so using it after your Combo Skill is highly recommended.

The gameplay plan is really simple: Use her Battle Skill and other Operators to stack as many Cryo Inflictions as you can and use her Combo Skill to cash out. If the Ultimate is available, use it right after her Combo Skill for massive damage. Repeat as many times as needed.

All of this makes Last Rite a character that wants a whole team built just for her. It is rewarding since her Single-Target damage potential is insanely high, but the problem is that outside of Single-Target Content, she’s not going to perform well.

Last Rite will release on January 22nd, 2026 along with the release of Arknights: Endfield.

She is a Standard Operator, meaning she is permanently available through the gacha system.
