Antal Guide and Best Builds

Antal Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Antal build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Antal is a 4-star Arts Unit Supporter Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Electric element.

In our Antal guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Antal, from building the best Gear and Weapons, to important stat priorities and combos.

Antal's Best Weapons

Antal's Best Essences

Essences are one of the repeatedly farmable ways to further boost the damage of your Antal. Which area and essence you will want to farm will depend on the weapon you are playing, as not all Essences are compatible with every weapon. Essences will increase the stats of your weapon, as well as enhance the passive effect it provides.

• OBJ Arts Identifier: Intellect Boost, Arts Intensity Boost, and Pursuit, farmable in The Hub, and Power Plateau.
• Detonation Unit: Main Attribute Boost, Arts Intensity Boost, and Detonate, farmable in The Hub and Origin lodespring.
• Wild Wanderer: Intellect, Electric DMG Boost, and Infliction, farmable in Originium Science Park.

Essences can be further upgraded through a system called Etching which will be a long-term investment due to how much Sanity it takes to fully max out a weapon. You may therefore want to farm and Etch Essences for a signature weapon already if you plan on getting it in the near-future, even if you do not have the weapon yet. A simple +1/+1/+1 Essence for a temporary weapon like Wild Wanderer will be good enough until you can get your hands on Antal's OBJ Arts Identifier.

Best Gear for Antal

Eternal Xiranite

3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP +1000.
After the wearer applies Amp, Protected, Susceptibility, or Weakened, other teammates gain DMG Dealt +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack.

Leveling Gear for Antal

While the above gear set is the optimal choice, it might take you some time before you will be able to craft it. Below are some of the more early and mid-game sets that we recommend until you've reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

Mordvolt Insulation

3-piece set effect: Wearer's Intellect +50.
When the wearer's HP is above 80%, Arts DMG +20%.

Antal's Skill Priority

Antal will want to use his Battle Skill and Ultimate as often as possible, so all your resources should be going towards both of these skills first. His Combo Skill and Basic Attack only increase their damage with more investment, and Antal is not played for his damage whatsoever.

How to Play Antal

Antal, despite being a 4-star Operator, is an incredible powerhouse of support and amplifying capabilities. His Battle Skill provides Susceptibility, while his Ultimate provide amps, and both skills work best in a Heat or Electric focused team.

He also provides some healing through his talents, which is another nice bonus of Antal's. He is an absolute monster when fighting individual enemies or bosses, as his Susceptibility buff is limited to a single target. Once you've cast your Battle Skill, just re-use it as needed and use your Ultimate to further buff your team, while his Combo Skill will trigger almost on cooldown from all the Arts Inflictions your team will cause.
