Defender Operators
In Arknights: Endfield, the Defender class is built around holding the frontline and supporting allies during prolonged fights. These Operators specialize in mitigating damage, providing defensive buffs, and generating Stagger to help control enemy pressure with faster Stun. Defenders use Great Swords and, while capable of dealing damage, are primarily valued for their ability to keep the team stable and enable stronger Arts interactions. Their kits often help other Operators build Arts Inflictions more efficiently, improving overall team performance. As a result, Defenders play a key role in maintaining balance between survivability and sustained combat presence.
