Lifeng Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Lifeng build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Lifeng is a 6-star Polearm Guard Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Physical element.

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

Lifeng's Best Weapons

Efficacy: Weight of Mountain (4/9):
Against Vulnerable enemies, the wielder gains DMG Dealt +32%.
When the wielder's battle skill applies Vulnerability, the wielder gains All Attributes +12.8% for 15s. When the wielder's battle skill applies Physical Susceptibility, the wielder gains All Attributes +12.8% for 15s.
The two effects apply separately and do not stack with themselves.

Lifeng's signature weapon. This weapon massively boosts Lifeng's damage, and then continues to do so further as Lifeng applies Vulnerability and Physical Susceptibility.

Combative: Virtuous Gain (4/9):
ATK +16%.
After the wielder applies Physical Statuses, the wielder also deals another hit of Physical DMG equal to 192% of the wielder's ATK.

A lighter version of Mountain Bearer. This Polearm also performs the function of providing Lifeng with bonus damage as he applies his Physical Statuses, but to lesser effect.

Inspiring: Start of a Saga (9/9):
When the wielder's HP is above 80%, ATK +42%.

A baseline weapon, granting a small amount of bonus damage.

Best Gear for Lifeng

Listed below are some of the sets that work best for Lifeng, based on the information we gathered during the CBT2.

3-piece set effect: Wearer's Stagger Efficiency Bonus +20%.
When the wearer applies a Physical Status, the wearer also performs 1 hit that deals 250% ATK of Physical DMG and [10 Stagger]. Effect trigger cooldown: 15s.

Lifeng's best end-game set. Everything else he gets and does wants him to apply Physical Statuses rapidly, and Stagger harder. Why not keep getting rewarded with even more damage and more Stagger for doing exactly that?

Body: Swordmancer Set — Agility, Strength, Arts Intensity
Hand: MI Security Offpiece — Agility, Strength, Battle Skill Efficiency
Kit 1: Swordmancer Set — Agility, Strength, Physical DMG
Kit 2: Swordmancer Set — Agility, Strength, Physical DMG

Leveling Gear for Lifeng

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.

3-piece set effect: Wearer's Skill DMG +24%.
When the wearer casts a battle skill, combo skill, or ultimate, gain ATK +5% for 15s. The buff from each of the three skill types is unique and does not stack with itself.

This will be Lifeng's gear set for the duration of Chapter 1. It will give a decent amount of attributes and damage for that time.

Body: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Agility, Strength, Combo Skill Efficiency
Hand: Roving MSGR Offpiece — Agility, Strength, ATK
Kit 1: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Agility, Strength, Combo Skill Efficiency
Kit 2: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Agility, Strength, Combo Skill Efficiency

How to Play Lifeng

Lifeng's playstyle makes him very much a main force in your teams. He'll start with a Turbid Avatar, applying Vulnerable and Physical Susceptibility. Following that, go through with a Final Strike from his Ruination in order to trigger his Aspect of Wrath, acquiring the Link buff. The pieces on the board set, activate his Ultimate, Heart of the Unmoving, the Knock Down the enemies and consume his Link to deal massive damage to the area.

Following this cycle, use another character who can consume Vulnerability so that Lifeng can once more bring his wrath.
