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!

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.
