Endministrator's Best Essences
Essences are one of the repeatedly farmable ways to further boost the damage of your Endministrator. Which area and essence to farm will depend on the weapon you are playing, as not all Essences are compatible with every weapon. Essences increase the stats of your weapon, as well as enhance the passive effect it provides.
- Grand Vision: Agility, Attack Boost, and Infliction, farmable in Originium Science Park, Power Plateau.
- Sundering Steel: Agility, Physical Dmg Boost, and Combative, farmable in Originium Science Park, Origin Lodespring, and Power Plateau.
- Prominent Edge: Agility, Physical Dmg Boost, and Suppression, farmable in Originium Science Park, and Origin Lodespring.
Essences are further upgraded through a system called Etching, which is a long-term investment due to how much Sanity it takes to fully max out a weapon. Therefore, if you plan on getting a signature weapon in the near future, you can farm and Etch Essences, even if you do not have the weapon yet. A simple +1/+1/+1 Essence for a temporary weapon like Prominent Edge will be good enough until you can get your hands on Endmins's Grand Vision or Sundering Steel from a weapon selector box or the weapons shop.

Leveling Gear for Endministrator
While the above gear set is the optimal choice, it might take you some time before you can craft it. Below are some of the more early and mid-game sets that we recommend until you reach the pinnacle of craftsmanship. It is worth mentioning that there are no blue rarity set options options that perfectly match the Endmin's attributes.

Endministrator's Skill Priority
The Endministrator's Battle Skill is definitely the weakest option, and should be left for last. The other three skills all have their own strengths. If you are playing the Endmin as your Controlled Operator, you can prioritize the Basic Attack. Otherwise, focus on the skills that build and consume Originium Crystals first, so you can shatter them for maximum damage.
How to Play Endministrator
The Endministrator is a physical DPS unit that is easy to play and has many different application and possible teams. Their combo skills are easy to trigger, apply Vulnerable to enemies, crowd-control, and also deal quite respectable damage. The Endmin also boasts a short burst window, making their DPS rotation line up well with taking out an enemies Stagger bar. As of launch, the Endministrator are the only Operator with access to Originium Arts through their Battle Skill, Combo Skill, and Ultimate. The best possible playstyle involves utilizing Shatter or going for Physical status teams to maximize outgoing damage.
