Wulfgard Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Wulfgard build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Wulfgard is a 5-star Handcannon Caster Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Heat element.

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

Wulfgard's Best Weapons

Clannibal
  • Main Attribute +132 (9/9)
  • Arts DMG Bonus +43.33% (9/9)

Infliction: Vicious Purge (4/9):
Arts DMG +19.2%.
After the wielder consumes an Arts Reaction, target enemy suffers Arts DMG Taken +16% (for the specified element) for 15s.
Each effect applies separately and does not stack with itself. Effect only triggers once every 25s.
Clannibal is the only compatible 6-star Handcannon for Wulfgard. When Wulfgard consumes Combustion or Electrification with his Thermite Tracers, he'll apply Heat Arts DMG Taken increased to the enemy.
Rational Farewell
  • Strength +124 (9/9)
  • Heat DMG +34.67% (9/9)

Pursuit: Aid from the Past (9/9):
Battle Skill DMG +28%.
When the wielder's combo skill applies Arts Burst or Combusted, the wielder gains ATK +44.8% for 15s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Rational Farewell is Wulfgard's signature weapon. This weapon will boost Wulfgard's Battle Skill damage, and will further boost his Attack when his Combo Skill inflicts an Arts Burst or Combustion.
Long Road
  • Strength +93 (9/9)
  • Arts DMG Bonus +26% (9/9)

Pursuit: Unending Cycle (9/9):
When the wielder casts a combo skill, the wielder gains ATK +33.6% for 20s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
This weapon will increase Wulfgard's Attack after tossing his Combo Skill. Not particularly excting, but a solid early-game weapon until you can get your hands on a higher rarity option.

Best Gear for Wulfgard

Hot Work
3-piece set effect: Wearer's Arts Intensity +30.
When the wearer applies Combustion, Heat DMG +60% for 8s. When the wearer applies Corrosion, Nature DMG +60% for 8s. The aforementioned effects cannot stack.
Wulfgard needs to apply and consume Combustion to make full use of his own kit, so we will lean into it. Hot Work will juice up his Heat Damage every time he applies Combustion, providing large bonuses to his damage.
  • Body: Hot Work Set — Strength, Agility, Heat & Nature DMG
  • Hand: MI Security Offpiece — Agility, Strength, Battle Skill Efficiency
  • Kit 1: Hot Work Set — Strength, Agility, Arts Intensity
  • Kit 2: Hot Work Set — Strength, Agility, Arts Intensity

Leveling Gear for Wulfgard

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.

Aburrey's Legacy
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.
Wulfgard will be using this set for the rest of Chapter 1. It increases his damage across the board with Attack boosts, as long as he gets to use all his skills.
  • Body: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Strength, Agility, Skill DMG
  • Hand: Armored MSGR Offpiece — Strength, Agility, Combo Skill Efficiency
  • Kit 1: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Strength, Agility, Skill DMG
  • Kit 2: Aburrey's Legacy Set — Strength, Agility, Skill DMG
AIC Heavy
3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP +500.
When the wearer defeats an enemy, restore 100 HP. Effect trigger cooldown: 5s.
Simple yet effective, this set grants his Main attributes, and is the set you will equip in the early game until you crafted something better.
  • Body: AIC Heavy Set — Strength, Agility, DMG Reduction
  • Hand: AIC Heavy Set — Strength, Will, DMG Reduction
  • Kit 1: AIC Heavy Set — Strength, DMG Reduction
  • Kit 2: AIC Heavy Set — Strength, DMG Reduction

Wulfgard's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: Thermite Tracers > Frag Grenade·β > Wolven Fury > Rapid Fire Akimbo

How to Play Wulfgard

Wulfgard will need to be paired with either an off-element Operator so he can apply Combustion, or another Heat Operator that is somehow capable of applying Combustion. That character will either apply Corruption or a different element Arts Infliction so that Wulfgard can use the bonus version of his Battle Skill or apply Combustion himself. The Combustion will also enable his Combo Skill for Heat Infliction.
