Manage the AIC and Outposts Often

AIC in Endfield Gameplay Demo

The AIC will continue to expand in features and abilities as players progress through the story. As the AIC is the core gameplay mechanic for acquiring and crafting items, it is imperative to avoid neglecting the AIC early on, as it is when resources are most scarce.

Base Building Guide (AIC)

Know the Roles of Each Operator Class

Operator Classes

Each Operator falls under a certain class that outlines the basics of their kit, such as Guards excelling at dealing Physical damage or Vanguards proficient at restoring Skill Points.

Examine the needs of your Operators and build around their strengths or cover their weaknesses to create a team capable of clearing content, especially in later stages of the game.

Utilize Physical Statuses, Arts Reactions, and Arts Bursts

Physical Statuses Arts Reactions/Bursts
Physical Statuses
Arts Reaction

Physical Statuses, Arts Reactions, and Arts Bursts largely influence the core team building in Arknights: Endfield, due to powerful effects such as increasing Stagger or amplifying damage taken by enemies. This mechanic provides a solid foundation to know which Operators to use in combat.

An example is a full Physical team of Chen Qianyu, Da Pan, Pogranichnik, and Lifeng. Chen and Lifeng build up Vulnerable stacks with Lift and Knock Down, while Pogranichnik increases team damage via Breach, with Da Pan dealing high damage with a Crush infliction.

Attack Enemy Weak Points

Arknights Endfield - Enemy Parts

Some enemies have weak points that receive increased damage. However, some enemies have parts that sustain reduced damage as well, knocking the Operator back when hit.

Pay attention to how the Operator behaves when attacking the enemy, and observe the enemy's parts before striking to determine the weak spots and gain an advantage in combat.

Pay Attention to Interruption Cues

Interruption Cue

When a red ring appears around the enemy, this indicates that they are charging a powerful skill. Use damaging skills to interrupt the enemy, cancelling their skill usage and increasing their Stagger.

Pay attention when these cues appear and react accordingly to create a window of opportunity.

Spend Currencies Wisely

Arknights Endfield - The Arsenal Exchange

There are multiple currencies you can use in shops or banners in Arknights Endfield. It's best to spend them wisely as some of them are rare and could run out fast if players are not careful!
