Arknights: Endfield Tier List and Best Character Rankings

Our Tier List for Arknights: Endfield separates characters distinctly into two roles: DPS and Utility. Please click their icons inside of our Tier List to view their Character Build Guides!

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!

Li Zhiyan, codename " Arcane", blasts her way into the scene with the greatest fanfare to date! The devs didn't pull any punches in designing this dual-mode character. By adjusting her stat alignments, you can toggle the behavior of her entire kit. In Intellect mode, she becomes a powerful DPS, and in Will mode, she offers a crazy array of support utilities! Whether you're running Yvonne, Last Rite, Zhuang Fangyi, or Laevatain, you'll want to pick up the Yinglung Special Task Force Leader to augment your teams!

Tangtang being pushed up to S tier was overdue. As she remains one of the best co-DPS even in Arcane's teams, there was no point in delaying this promotion any further.

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.
