Pogranichnik Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Pogranichnik build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Pogranichnik is a 6-star Sword Vanguard Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Physical element.

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

Pogranichnik's Best Weapons

Flow: Reincarnation (4/9):
Physical DMG Dealt +25.6%.
After the wielder's skill recovers SP, the wielder gains Physical DMG Dealt +8% while other operators in the team gain Physical DMG Dealt +4% for 30s.
Max stacks for effects of the same name: 5. Duration of each stack is counted separately. Effect only triggers once every 0.1s.

Pogranichnik's signature weapon. This weapon will increase Pogranichnik's damage significantly, while also granting the team additional stacking damage buffs upon gaining SP, which all of his skills does.

Flow: Thermal Release (4/9):
ATK +16%.
After the wielder's skill recovers SP or grants a Link state, the entire team gains ATK +8% for 20s.
Max stacks for effects of the same name: 2. Duration of each stack is counted separately.

This is Pogranichnik's only other applicable weapon, as none others are associated with the Will attribute. It works like a weaker version of Never Rest. It provides a lower team Attack bonus in response to gaining SP per stack, and how lower maximum stacks.

Best Gear for Pogranichnik

3-piece set effect: Wearer's ATK +15%.
When any operator in the team casts a battle skill, the wearer gains 1 stack of Yinglung's Edge that gives DMG +20% to the wearer's next combo skill. Yinglung's Edge can stack 3 time(s).

The story with Pogranichnik's end-game gear set is simple. As Battle Skills on the team get used, Pogranichnik's next Battle Skill gets stronger.

Body: MI Security Offpiece — Will, Agility, Battle Skill Efficiency
Hand: Type 50 Yinglung Set — Will, Agility, Combo Skill Efficiency
Kit 1: Type 50 Yinglung Set — Will, Agility, Combo Skill Efficiency
Kit 2: Type 50 Yinglung Set — Will, Agility, Combo Skill Efficiency

Leveling Gear for Pogranichnik

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 Pogranichnik's gear set for the remainder of Chapter 1. It'll serve him generally well for some damage boosts across the board.

Body: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Will, Agility, Battle Skill Efficiency
Hand: Mordvolt Resistant Offpiece — Will, Agility, ATK
Kit 1: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Will, Agility, Battle Skill Efficiency
Kit 2: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Will, Agility, Battle Skill Efficiency

3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP +500.
When the wearer defeats an enemy, ATK +20 for 5s.

This 2* set will work well enough for the start of the game.

Body: AIC Light Set — Intellect, Will, Battle Skill Efficiency
Hand: AIC Light Set — Intellect, Agility, Combo Skill Efficiency
Kit 1: AIC Light Set — Will, Battle Skill Efficiency
Kit 2: AIC Light Set — Will, Battle Skill Efficiency

Pogranichnik's Skill Priority

How to Play Pogranichnik

Pogranichnik's playstyle will mostly play off of Vulnerable stacks, with his Combo Skill being his source of Net SP gain. He'll want another operator to build several stacks of Vulnerable for him, then use his Battle Skill to Breach the enemy, consuming the Vulnerable, which will have his Combo Skill trigger, doing more damage and gaining SP.

When his Ultimate is about ready to be used, he'll hold his Battle Skill and Combo Skill to use within the duration of his Ultimate to get more output and SP.
