While Tier Lists are great for getting some general insight at a glance, they don't give a complete story. Each of these Operators has been an outstanding asset to Endfield Industries. Each and every one of them is capable of completing the mission at hand, and they're all capable of shining bright with the right team. So, don't go disregarding your favorites just because they appear low on this Tier List. Give them a spin!

Tierlist Changes for Version 1.3 - Sketches of Lost Heirlooms

The long awaited releases of Mi Fu has finally come to pass. As expected she ended up releasing as a Guard Operator using Great Swords, but she ended up surprising everyone by being of the Physical element. This means she has lots of company, or potentially competition, as there are already many different Physical Operators that fill different purposes and niches.

Like the Endministrator, Mi Fu acts more like a Pseudo-Striker than a defensive unit with her kit, and she really packs a punch. She is able to apply some Vulnerable stacks of her own, but she's really all about spending those Vulnerable stacks to Crush her enemies. Despite wielding a Great Sword, she also features an incredibly fast Basic Attack sequence, allowing her to apply equally incredible pressure.

With no notable weaknesses and a great DPS potential, and many different team composition options, this puts her right up there with other S-Tier Operators.

While we wouldn't say the implementation of Mi Fu immediately places Endministrator at risk of a tier demotion at this time, the Endmin is definitely being put on watch. Hopefully we can get those missing Potential upgrades for our beloved Endmin sooner rather than later!

Tier List Explanations and Ranking Criteria

Our Tier List for Arknights: Endfield groups characters into two main categories: DPS and Utility.

  • DPS: Characters in this category of our Tier List focus on dealing damage. They may dabble in various utilities, but they're here to lay the smack down.
  • Utility: Characters in this category of our Tier List focus on some kind of support features, such as team damage buffs, team damage resistance, team healing, and SP generation.

Internally, these characters are then ranked S through C based on various criteria, offered features, and engagement level of their kits. However, it's noted that there's extremely little overlap between any two characters and their kits, so it's difficult to draw a direct comparison, or explicitly state one character's kit is better than another's for all situations.
