Defender Class Operators in Arknights: Endfield
Arknights: Endfield has six different classes. This page covers the Defender class, all the Operators belonging to it, and how to best utilize Defender Operators.
What Is the Defender Class in Arknights: Endfield?
The Defender Class typically revolves around supportive buffs like shields or SP restoration, and many of their attacks deal additional Stagger damage, which will help you stun enemies faster. They all wield Great Swords.
Combat Role and Gameplay
Defender Class Operators can be the backbone of your team, providing both defensive buffs, sustain, and helping you generate SP faster. This makes them very flexible, as any team can make use of these bonuses.
They still contribute a decent amount of damage as well, and can help build important Arts Inflictions for your main damage dealers, or help sustain through damage with their defensive buffs.
