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

OBJ Arts Identifier
  • Wisdom +124 (9/9)
  • Arts Intensity +62 (9/9)

Pursuit: Transcendent Arts (9/9):
Max HP +28%.
When the wielder's combo skill applies Arts Burst or Physical Status, the entire team gains Heat DMG Dealt and Electric DMG Dealt +22.4% for 15s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
OBJ Arts Identifier is a 5-star weapon that boosts Antals own DPS output, but more importantly it grants the entire team Heat and Electric damage bonuses. His own kit already provides similar buffs, making this a perfect fit for Antal to double down on becoming a great amplifier and support.
Detonation Unit
  • Main Attribute +132 (9/9)
  • Arts Intensity +78 (9/9)

Detonate: Imposing Champion (4/9):
Secondary Attribute +16%.
When the wielder applies an Arts Burst, target enemy suffers Arts DMG Taken +14.4% for 15s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Detonation Unit is a 6-star weapon that boosts the Arts DMG taken by the enemy when an Arts Burst is applied. If you have this weapon lying around and want to use it on Antal, it might serve as an adequate alternative to OBJ Arts Identifier. However, you might be better off sticking the Detonation Unit onto another character that does not have a great 5-star option like Antal does.
Wild Wanderer
  • Wisdom +124 (9/9)
  • Electric DMG +34.67% (9/9)

Infliction: Wilderness Cluster (9/9):
Arts Intensity +28.
When the wielder applies Electrification, the team gains Physical DMG Dealt and Electric DMG Dealt +22.4% for 15s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Wild Wanderer is a 5-star weapon that boosts Antal's own DPS output, as well as granting the team Physical and Electric damage bonuses. Since Antal can support both Heat and Electric teams, this weapon is only useful if you play him as an amplifier in a Electric team.

Best Gear for Antal

Eternal Xiranite
3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP +1000.
When the wearer applies Amp, Protected, Susceptible, or Weakened, other teammates also gain ATK +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack.
The Eternal Xiranite armor set is a great support option for Antal, but in order to trigger the set effect on him you need to hit an enemy with Focus from his Battle Skill, which can only affect one target at a time. The Ultimate SP Gain will help tremendously in having a higher uptime on Antal's very powerful amps provided by his Ult.
  • Body: Eternal Xiranite Set — Will, Intellect, Arts Intensity
  • Hand: Eternal Xiranite Offpiece — Intellect, Strength, Ultimate Sp Gain
  • Kit 1: Eternal Xiranite Set — Intellect, Strength, Ultimate Sp Gain
  • Kit 2: Eternal Xiranite Set — Intellect, Strength, Ultimate Sp Gain

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%.
This set provides plenty of Int as well as Arts DMG increases across the entire set, making this ideal as a cheaper gear set to equip Antal with. Eventually you will want to swap to a higher rarity set, but until you can afford to do so, this set will serve Antal very well, especially as the best set for him can be a bit difficult to get the full benefit out of.
  • Body: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Strength, ATK
  • Hand: Mordvolt Insulation Offpiece — Intellect, Strength, ATK
  • Kit 1: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, ATK
  • Kit 2: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Cryo & Electric DMG

Antal's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: Specified Research Subject = Overclocked Moment > EMP Test Site > Exchange Current

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.
