Arknights: Endfield tier list | ranking of the best operators (June 2026)

Arknights: Endfield offers fast-paced, strategic combat, based on a team of 4 Operators. As Endministrator, you'll have to choose the best characters in the game to build your team. But which are the most effective? With this Arknights: Endfield tier list, I'll help you choose your Operators, so you can get off to a good start on Talos-II without wasting resources.

Methodology for ranking operators

This is an overall ranking. We have taken into account the different characteristics of each Operator (their element, role and rarity), as well as the power, versatility and impact of each Operator in a team. We then determined their placement in our Arknights: Endfield tier list:

• Tier S+: these operators are indispensable, they dominate the current meta
• Tier S: excellent, pillars of a team, but less versatile
• Tier A : good, but often situational
• Tier B: useful at the start, but quickly outdated or too specialised

Detailed analysis of S+ Tier : the pillars of the Meta

The S+ operators in our Arknights: Endfield tier list correspond to the game's current meta. They are the most effective and versatile, and are almost indispensable for the end game.

Ardelia

x6

Ardelia is one of the best healers in our Arknights: Endfield tier list. She can also apply 'Corrosion', and then consume it and apply physical weaknesses. So she's a versatile healer/debuff.

Laevatain

x6

Laevatain is a limited premium character from the first banner of Arknights: Endfield (so it's not a free-to-play Operator). She's a highly effective DPS capable of inflicting AoE with her ultimate. It also has the advantage of excellent survivability. You'll want her in your team!

Last Rite

x6

Last Rite is an excellent debuff from our Arknights: Endfield tier list. She applies Cryo stacks to enemies and inflicts huge damage over the long term.

Pogranichnik

x6

Despite his unpronounceable name, Pogranichnik is a reliable physical damage DPS who applies debuffs that make him vulnerable to his own damage. He's one of the best DPS in our Arknights: Endfield tier list.

Gilberta

x6

Gilberta is another member of our Arknights: Endfield tier list who performs well in crowd control. She applies Arts vulnerability to enemies with her ultimate and can also trigger Corrosion.

Xaihi

x5

Waihi is another member of our Arknights: Endfield tier list. She's versatile: as well as applying Art debuffs (Cryo and Nature), she can also heal her allies.

Understanding the tier list: Operator Roles, Elements and Rarity

Operators in Arknights: Endfield have several characteristics: their element (Art), their role in the team and their rarity.

Elements (Arts)

All the Operators in the Arknights: Endfield tier list have a specific element, describing the type of damage and effects they inflict. In the game, these elements are called "Arts".

• Electric
• Heat
• Physical
• Nature
• Cryo

When an enemy is hit by an element (Art), it accumulates stacks of this element, generating an Art explosion that inflicts elemental damage.

⚡ Mobi.gg tip: where things get interesting is when you start playing on the synergies between different elements. In the game, this is called "an Art reaction". Coming soon: a guide on the subject!

Roles

As in all RPGs, each character has a very specific role (or class) in their team. Our Arknights: Endfield tier list includes :

• the guard
• the magician
• the attacker
• the vanguard
• the defender
• the support

I'd advise you to take this information into account when putting together your team in Arknights: Endfield! You need to find a good balance between DPS (wizard, attacker and vanguard), protection with buffs and debuffs (defender and support) and aggro (guard, the equivalent of a tank).

Rarity

Each character has its own rarity level, between 4 and 6 . Generally speaking, Operators from the Arknights: Endfield tier list with 6 can only be obtained through recruitment (limited banners or permanent draw).

Rest assured: if you're a free-to-play player, most rare characters can be obtained without spending any real money. It will just take you (much) longer.

⚡ Mobi.gg tip: be careful not to confuse rarity with efficiency. Not all 6 characters are necessarily more effective than a less rare Operator!

Reroll: which Operator to target for the meta?

We've just looked at the best Operators for the Arknights: Endfield meta . But not all of them are good for reroll! Here are the characters to aim for as a top priority if you want to start a reroll:

• Laevatein
• Pogranichnik
• Last Rite

You absolutely need these characters if you want to build a strong team !

⚡ Mobi.gg tip: be warned, the reroll in Arknights: Endfield is quite long, due to the very many tutorials and the very present narration.

Our Arknights: Endfield tier list will help you target the best Operators, or reroll if you wish. It's also an opportunity to get rid of characters that are out of your meta, so you can progress more quickly.
