All Arknights Endfield Characters: Your Complete Operator Roster Guide

So you’ve touched down on Talos-II and you’re ready to build your dream team? Smart move. Arknights: Endfield packs a serious roster of playable characters—or “Operators” as the game calls them—and each one brings something unique to the table.

Whether you’re the type who min-maxes every stat or just wants to run around with characters that look cool (no judgment), this guide breaks down every single Operator available at launch. Let’s dive in.

The Complete Arknights Endfield Character List

Here’s everyone you can recruit, sorted by rarity and then alphabetically. Trust me, you’ll want to bookmark this.

6-Star Operators (The Premium Squad) in Arknights Endfield

The 6-star crew is where the real powerhouses live. These are your endgame carries, the Operators who’ll stick with you through the toughest content. Getting even one of these early can completely change how smoothly your playthrough goes.

5-Star Operators (The Reliable Backbone) in Arknights Endfield

Don’t sleep on the 5-stars. Seriously. In Arknights: Endfield, these characters are absolutely viable for all content, and some of them can outperform 6-stars in specific situations. Plus, they’re way easier to pull and upgrade.

4-Star Operators (Budget Beasts) in Arknights Endfield

The 4-star squad might seem basic, but in early-to-mid game? These folks absolutely pull their weight. They’re easier to fully upgrade since you’ll pull duplicates naturally, making them surprisingly strong investments.

Mystery Operators (Coming Soon™)

Tangtang was teased during the 1.0 livestream, and she’s apparently going to be important in the next couple of updates. Based on promo art, she’s rocking a Handcannon, but beyond that? Your guess is as good as mine. Her rarity and class are still under wraps.

A word about Fjall: If you played the beta, you might be wondering where this guy went. The 5-star Defender completely vanished after the first beta test. He might show up in a future update, or he might be stuck in development limbo. Beta veterans, pour one out.

How to Actually Get Characters in Arknights: Endfield

Alright, so you know who’s available. Now let’s talk about how to snag them, because just staring at the character list won’t add anyone to your barracks.

Headhunting (AKA The Gacha)

This is your main source for new Operators. You’ll spend Permits in the Headhunting menu to pull characters. There are a few ways to get Permits:

• Just playing the game – The devs are pretty generous with freebies
• Converting Oroberyl – Free currency you earn naturally
• Buying Origeometry – The premium currency (if you’re opening your wallet)

You’ve got three banner types to work with:

Basic Headhunting: The permanent banner. Use Basic HH Permits here. It’s always available, which is nice when you just want to scratch that gacha itch.

Limited-Time Banners: These rotate and feature specific characters with rate-ups. You’ll use Chartered HH Permits here. This is where you hunt for that one specific waifu or husbando you’ve been eyeing.

New Horizons Headhunting: The beginner banner gives you 40 pulls max, and you’re guaranteed to walk away with either Ardelia, Ember, Last Rite, Lifeng, or Pogranichnik. Honestly? This is one of the best deals in the game, so don’t skip it.

Story Progression (Free Stuff!)

Some characters join you just for playing through the main story. No gacha RNG required:

• Perlica
• Chen Qianyu
• Wulfgard

These story Operators are solid additions to your roster and ensure you always have a functional team even if your gacha luck is trash.

Bond Quota Exchange in Arknights: Endfield

Here’s a neat system: every time you pull on banners, you earn Bond Quota currency. Head over to the Bond Quota Exchange in the store and you can straight-up buy Employment Contracts for specific characters.

The catch? The available character rotates every few weeks. But here’s the cool part—if you already have that character, the Employment Contract acts as a dupe to help upgrade them. Keep checking back regularly so you don’t miss someone you want.

Events (Easy Freebies)

Right now we’ve mainly seen login events and pre-registration rewards, but gacha games love giving away free characters during events. Expect this to be a regular thing.

At launch, you can score:

• Snowshine – Claim the pre-registration milestone rewards from your mail
• Ardelia – Just log in for three days straight

Literally free 6-star and 5-star characters for showing up. Don’t leave these on the table.

Quick Tips for Building Your Team

• Diversify your elements: Elemental coverage matters in Endfield. Don’t stack all Physical Operators and wonder why you’re struggling against certain enemies.
• Classes have roles: Defenders tank, Strikers deal damage, Supports… support. Sounds obvious, but team composition actually matters here.
• Don’t ignore lower rarities: A fully upgraded 4-star can outperform an under-invested 6-star. Resource management is key.
• Use what you enjoy: Meta changes, but fun is forever. If you vibe with a character’s design or playstyle, invest in them.
