Understand Arknights Endfield Character Roles

Before you start Arknights Endfield team building, it’s important to understand each character’s role. The game has six main roles, and knowing what each one does will help you create a stronger team for tough battles. Here are the Character Classes and Roles:

Classes	What They Do (Role)
Defender	They are the frontline tanks who shield allies, taunt enemies, mitigate damage, and provide sustain/heals. Great for holding ground and surviving long fights. Characters: Snowshine, Ember, Catcher
Guard	Guards are close-range Physical DPS. They attack fast, break Stagger bars, and deal physical damage. They stay on the frontline and keep pressure on enemies. Characters: Endministrator, Lifeng
Striker	These are the Burst-damage dealers. They use enemy statuses or elements to deal huge hits. Great at finishing enemies during Stagger or reaction windows with powerful chains Characters: Laevatain, Last Rite
Caster	Casters are the Ranged DPS atatckers.They apply elements, trigger reactions, and deal big damage from a distance. Very important for elemental synergy teams. Characters: Perlica, Wulfgard
Vanguard	SP generators and early-fight openers. They build SP for the team, apply early debuffs like Vulnerable or Stagger, and give helpful buffs. They keep the whole rotation smooth. Characters: Pogranichnik, Arclight
Support	They are the buffers and helpers. They boost attack/speed, weaken enemies, give heals, shields, or crowd control. They keep the team alive and make everyone stronger. Characters: Antal, Xaihi

Arknights Endfield Team Building: Elemental Synergies

When focusing on Arknights Endfield team building, Elemental Synergies are one of the most important things to understand. Every character belongs to one of four elements, and these elements decide how their skills and reactions work in combat.

Elements

There are four main elements in the game:

• Heat (Fire)
• Electric
• Cryo (Ice)
• Nature

Same-Element Synergies

When you add two or more characters of the same element to your team, you activate a special Elemental Burst that boosts your overall damage.

• 2 Heat – Triggers Heat Burst, increasing Fire damage
• 2 Electric – Triggers Electric Burst, increasing Electric damage
• 2 Cryo – Triggers Cryo Burst, adding extra Ice damage
• 2 Nature – Triggers Nature Burst, boosting Nature damage

These boosts make your team hit harder and help you take down enemies faster.

Mixed-Element Synergies

Using characters with different elements creates reaction effects. These reactions deal extra damage and apply strong debuffs like reducing enemy resistance, slowing them, or making them take more damage. Here are the reaction types:

• Heat + Electric / Cryo / Nature → Combustion
• Electric + Heat / Cryo / Nature → Electrification
• Cryo + Heat / Electric / Nature → Solidification
• Nature + Heat / Electric / Cryo → Corrosion

These mixed reactions are great for breaking enemies quickly and increasing your total team damage.

Arknights Endfield Team Building Strategy

Now that you understand character roles and elemental synergies, it’s time to look at how to build strong teams in Arknights Endfield. Each team is made up of four characters, so using the right strategy will help you deal more damage and survive harder battles.

Here are the main strategies for building effective teams:

Balanced Team

A best Arknights Endfield strategy for  team setup is building a balanced team. This formation works well in almost every situation:

• 1 Tank (Defender) – Protects the team and holds enemies in place
• 2 DPS (Guard / Striker / Caster) – Main damage dealers
• 1 SP Generator (Vanguard or Support) – Builds SP, gives buffs, and keeps the rotation smooth

This setup gives you defense, damage, and utility all at once.

Same-Element Teams

Using a team with multiple characters of the same element is great for triggering strong Elemental Bursts.

This setup focuses on big burst damage and is perfect for fast clearing or breaking powerful enemies.

Hybrid Teams

Hybrid teams mix different elements for both burst damage and reaction effects.

There are two ways to build them:

• 2 characters of the same element + 2 characters of other elements
• 2 characters of the same element + 2 mixed elements for reactions

This gives you consistent elemental bursts and extra reaction damage, making the team flexible and strong.

Arknights Endfield Team building: Best Teams

Now that you understand roles, elements, and strategies, you’re ready to start creating the perfect teams for your battles. Below, we’ve listed some of the good Team Comps/Synergies in Beta Test II to help you see how strong teams are built and how their synergies work together.

Best Physical Damage Team

This team is a great choice for Arknights Endfield beginners. The characters are easy to get for new players. This team also builds Vulnerable stacks for big physical burst damage and provides steady SP generation so you can fight longer and use skills more often.

Operator	Role / Element	How It Works
Endministrator	DPS (Guard) Physical	Creates crystal traps that give Vulnerable stacks and help control enemies. Boosts Physical Burst damage for the whole team.
Pogranichnik	SP Support (Vanguard)Physical	Generates SP quickly. Adds Vulnerable stacks and shares ATK buffs with teammates.
Catcher	Tank (Defender) Physical	Protects the team with shields. Counterattacks and adds more Vulnerable stacks.
Ardelia	SupportNature	Applies Corrosion to reduce enemy DEF. Her dolls heal and deal small damage.

Best Heat Team

This team is great for tough battles, especially boss fights with high HP. It uses four Heat characters and focuses on dealing extra Fire damage for quick burst attacks.

Operator	Role / Element	How It Works
Laevatain	Burst DPS (Striker)Heat	Consumes Heat stacks for big chain explosions. Her ult creates wide AoE Heat blasts.
Wulfgard	Support DPS (Caster)Heat	Builds Heat stacks fast and triggers Combustion reactions. Generates SP through reactions.
Ember	Tank (Defender)Heat	Uses shields and knockbacks. Adds Heat and Physical hits to build Stagger.
Akekuri	Support (Vanguard)heat	Restores SP and applies Heat inflictions, helping the entire team deal higher Heat damage.

Electric Storm Team H3

This team uses four Electric elemental characters. They boost overall damage and constantly trigger Electric Bursts on enemies for strong attacks.

Operator	Role / Element	How It Works
Perlica	Inflictor (Caster)Electric	Apply Electric Infliction and Electrification to boost team damage. Her ultimate deals big AoE Electric damage.
Arclight	SP Generator (Vanguard)Electric	Gives SP when Electrification triggers. Also ignores enemy Arts RES, making damage more consistent.
Avywenna	DPS (Striker)Electric	Throws Electric lances for burst hits. Her Ultimate Thunderlance EX deals Electric damage on enemies.
Antal	Healer/Buffer (Support)Electric	Boosts Electric damage and heals teammates affected by the buffs.

Best Cryo Team

This team focuses on high Cryo bursts and Solidification freeze effects. Characters like Fluorite can apply both Nature and Cryo effects, helping other members trigger Solidification in addition to Cryo burst damage. This is great for boss battles, slowing enemies with freeze effects, and dealing more damage faster.

Operator	Role / Element	How It Works
Last Rite	Burst DPS (Striker)Cryo	Deals high Cryo damage and staggers enemies. Ult hits harder on weakened or frozen enemies.
Snowshine	Tank (Defender)Cryo	Creates a “Snow Zone” that freezes enemies and heals allies. Builds Stagger well.
Xaihi	SupportCryo	Generates crystals that heal or boost team defense. They explode to add Cryo stacks.
Fluorite	Stacker (Caster)Nature/Cryo	Slows enemies and builds stacks for Shatter chain reactions.

Multi Elemental Team

This is a flexible team that works well in most battles. It is effective at triggering all types of elemental reactions. You can switch your DPS characters based on the enemy’s weaknesses to make the team even stronger.

Operator	Role / Element	How It Works
Ardelia	Support Nature	Corrosion lowers DEF for all enemies. Dolls provide healing and small attacks.
Pogranichnik	SP Support (Vanguard)Physical	Gives fast SP and Physical buffs. Works with almost any team.
Snowshine	Tank (Defender)Cryo	Provides freezing, Stagger, and healing. Good for surviving tough battles.
Flex DPS	DPS – Any element	Choose the best DPS for the enemy: Laevatain (Heat), Last Rite (Cryo), etc.
