Wulfgard Build Guide

Wulfgard Perlica Antal Akekuri

F2P Friendly Team that uses Wulfgard as your main DPS. Perlica Combo Skill is easy to trigger and gives Electrification for Wulfgard’s Battle Skill. Antal increases both Heat and Electric Damage, and Akekuri can help with extra SPs. You can replace Akekuri with any other option between Ardelia (Good for Single Target), Gilberta (Good for AoE) or Arclight (more Electric Infliction means more Combustions).

Laevatain Wulfgard Akekuri Ardelia

Laevatain Team that uses Wulfgard and Akekuri as a source of Heat Infliction for her. Ardelia is self-sufficient and synergizes with Laevatain, but you can replace her depending on your availability or use case. Antal is a great F2P option that increases everyone’s Damage. Gilberta is good for AoE. Perlica can apply Electrification to increase the Team Arts Damage.

Weapons

• Best-in-Slot: Clannibal
• Alt: Rational Farewell
• Alt: Opus: The Living

Clannibal effects trigger after consuming an Arts Reaction from the enemy, which synergizes perfectly with Wulfgard Battle Skill. It gives a lot Strength, ATK% and Increases the Art DMG Taken by targets after consuming Arts Reactions from them. It’s the best option for Wulfgard as a Main DPS, but if you are using Wulfgard as a Sub-DPS/Enabler for other Teams, there are better options for him.

Rational Farewell is Wulfgard Signature and it's a great option that doesn’t rely on consuming Arts Reactions from enemies. It still requires triggering an Arts Burst or Combustion using his Combo Skill, but it’s much less restrictive than Clannibal. 

Opus: The Living gives Agility instead of Strength but also gives Crit Rate. The effect requires Wulfgard to trigger an Arts Reaction which is not hard as Wulfgard applies Heat Infliction on both Combo and Battle Skill, and also forces Combustion when using his Ultimate.

Gear

• Gear Set: Hot Work
• Armor: Hot Work Exoskeleton
• Gloves: MI Security Gloves
• Kit 1: Hot Work Power Bank
• Kit 2: Hot Work Power Bank

Wulfgard applies a lot of combustions, making Hot Work the best Gear Set for his damage.

Battle Skill > Combo Skill = Ultimate > Basic Attack

As a DPS, all of Wulfgard Skills should be leveled up to maximize his damage potential, but the Battle Skill is your main source of damage on Wulfgard, so leveling it up first is ideal. Combo Skill and Ultimate come next, but these are mostly used to apply Arts Reactions, and not exactly for their Damage. Basic Attacks will always be used in the downtime, but you can leave it at a lower priority.

• P1 Lone Wolf
• P2 Firearm Mods
• P3 Hunting Hour
• P4 Will of the Pack
• P5 Natural Predator

Wulfgard Potentials has a weird start, but they quickly increase in value as you get extra copies.

Potential 1 gives some stats, nothing to talk about here.

Potential 2 improves his 2nd Combat Talent to return even more SP for Wulfgard after consuming an Arts Reaction from the enemy. Great if you’re playing him as a Main DPS, otherwise not so useful.

Potential 3 is amazing, both for Main DPS or Sub-DPS Wulfgard. It refreshes the effects of his 1st Combat Talent after consuming an Arts Reaction from the enemy, but also grants all other allies half of this effect. 

Potential 4 reduces the Ultimate Energy Cost, increasing your damage and the frequency you apply Combustion to enemies.

Potential 5 is insane. It resets the cooldown of your combo skill after using his Ultimate, which allows you to apply Heat Infliction to enemies once again. Useful for any situation, just remember to use his Combo Skill before resetting for extra damage and another Heat Infliction.

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.

Wulfgard is amazing, really. He can either apply Heat Infliction or Consume Combustion or Electrification to deal increased damage with his Battle Skill. Combo Skill Trigger is really generic, any Arts Infliction is enough to trigger it and apply Heat Infliction to enemies, making it easier to trigger an Art Reaction or further stacks of Heat Infliction. Ultimate deals great damage and forces Combustion to enemies, which is exactly what Wulfgard needs for another burst of damage on his Battle Skill.

All of his kit synergizes perfectly and his Combat Talent increases this even further, as Wulfgard gets increased Heat DMG after applying Combustion to enemies, something that both his Combo Skill and Ultimate offers to him. But there’s more: His Second Combat Talent further enhances his Battle Skill to return SP after consuming Combustion or Electrification.

You want to use him as a DPS? Use characters that can apply any Infliction (besides Heat) to trigger his Combo Skill and enjoy easy combustions for your Battle Skill.

But what if you’re using him as a Sub-DPS for someone else that requires Heat Infliction? Well, nothing changes, just make sure Wulfgard is not using his Battle Skill against an enemy suffering from Combustion or Electrification and he will apply Heat Infliction instead.

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

Wulfgard is a Standard Operator, meaning they are permanently available through the gacha system.
