Endfield Arknights: Endfield Best Teams

Now that more time has passed and we have a better look at how the meta has shaped out, we can bring to you the definitive list of what are the standout teams in Arknights: Endfield for Patch 1.1.

Below you will find the best teams for every single element, with the three stand out being Laevatain Heat teams, Chen Qianyu Physical teams, and Yvonne / Last Rite Cryo teams.

While Rossi has been released, the team is still cooking with her. This thread will be updated to include her when we have a definitive stand out team to bring.

Laevatain is currently the premier Heat carry, offering massive amounts of AOE damage with 2 distinct playstyles of full Ultimate Generation and a standard Hot Work carry set that keeps her relevant no matter the content.

Full Ultimate Generation Team

Laevatain, Ardelia, Wulfgard, Akekuri

This team aims to maximize Laevatain's Ultimate Generation to ensure that 1 Combo Skill and 1 Enhanced Battle Skill are enough to fully recharge her ultimate. This becomes especially powerful in content like Umbral Monument or overworld content where you do not start with your ultimate.

Hot Work Carry Teams

Laevatain, Ardelia, Akekuri, Antal

This team excels in its single target damage, with Antal being the premier option to maximize the single target DPS. This is especially useful for places like RE-Crisis.

Laevatain, Akekuri, Wulfgard, Gilberta

This is an alternative team you can run that's more focused on the AOE grouping of Gilberta when paired with Wulfgard's extra AOE damage, which can make it feel nicer to play for content with multiple targets.

Endministrator and Chen Qianyu make up the heart of Physical teams, offering incredible damage when played correctly that rivals the strongest teams in the game at a cost available to any free to play player.

Standard Physical:
Endministrator, Chen Qianyu, Pogranichnik, Lifeng

This Physical team is the gold standard, offering the maximum damage possible.
Chen Qianyu and Endministrator make up the heart of the team, with Pogranichnik being the premier support and Lifeng offering the team an even higher ceiling, especially with his first potential.

However Physical teams are incredibly flexible, below are some alternative options you can run:

• Panda Physical:
  Da Pan, Chen Qianyu, Pogranichnik, Lifeng
  
• Ember Stagger:
  Ember, Endministrator, Chen Qianyu, Pogranichnik
  
• Free To Play Physical:
  Endministrator, Chen Qianyu, Akekuri, Estella

Cryo teams have seen a rise in power with the release of Tangtang, boasting some of the highest single target damage available in the game with 3 distinct carries to chose from.

Yvonne

Yvonne, Xaihi, Tangtang, Gilberta

Yvonne is the premier Crit based carry, offering some of the highest single target DPS available in the game. Because of her core mechanic of needing to stack Cryo Inflictions, her team structure is very set in place, with her current best team needing two limited 6-star supports to unlock her full potential.

Last Rite

Last Rite, Xaihi, Tangtang, Perlica

Last Rite is the other Cryo nuke, offering the highest ceiling for burst damage at the cost of having much stricter rotations that can make her difficult to play.

Perlica is preferred over Gilberta as she cannot trigger her combo skill in this team which leads to issues staggering, which is a massive problem as you want to time Last Rite damage nukes with the increase damage taken from the enemies stagger for optimal damage.

Tangtang Main DPS

Tangtang, Xaihi, Perlica, Gilberta / Fluorite

While Tangtang falls behind the other Cryo carries in terms of raw damage, usually by about 20%, she makes up for it with fast easy to access AOE damage that makes her the premier pick for both ease of play and any overworld content.

Avywenna currently makes up the only Electric carry, and she sets herself apart from the rest of the roster by being both free to play friendly and offering one of the most unique playstyles of any character in the game with a massive damage nuke.

Standard Electro:

Avywenna, Akekuri, Perlica, Gilberta/ Antal

The current Electric team revolves around stacking spears with Avywenna as the main DPS with Akekuri for support, Perlica as Sub DPS/Buffer, and a flex slot that can be used by either Gilberta as the premier option or Antal as the budget version.

Arclight can become a very powerful option for this team, but only after reaching her final 5th potential. Before unlocking it, Arclight falls behind other options.
