Rerolling in Arknights: Endfield is no joke—it’s one of the most time-intensive processes you’ll find in any gacha game. Before you sink hours into creating multiple accounts and grinding through tutorials over and over, you need to know what you’re actually getting into. This guide breaks down everything about rerolling: the step-by-step process, which characters are worth chasing, and the honest truth about whether it’s worth your time.
If you’re just getting started with the game, make sure to check out our Arknights Endfield guides hub for all the essential resources you’ll need.
What Exactly is Rerolling?
Rerolling is the practice of creating a new account, playing through the early game until you unlock the gacha system, using your free pulls to hunt for specific characters, and then starting completely over if you don’t get what you want. The whole point is to begin your journey with powerful characters without spending any money.
In theory, it sounds simple. In practice? It’s a grind that tests your patience.
How to Reroll in Arknights Endfield (Step-by-Step)
Here’s the complete process broken down into manageable steps:
Step 1: Prepare Multiple Email Addresses
You’ll need one email for each reroll attempt. Important note: Salted emails (adding dots or plus signs to your Gmail address) don’t work on the Endfield registration website. You need completely separate email addresses for each account.
Set these up before you even launch the game to streamline the process.
Step 2: Pre-Register Each Account
Visit the official Arknights: Endfield website and pre-register every email address you created. This is crucial because pre-registration rewards include 20 Standard Banner pulls and a free 5-Star weapon—resources you absolutely need for efficient rerolling.
Step 3: Launch and Log In
Start the game and log in with your first prepared email. Skip every cutscene and tutorial that the game allows you to skip. Fair warning: some content is completely unskippable, which adds to the time investment for each reroll attempt.
Step 4: Unlock the Gacha System
After completing the prologue, continue playing until you unlock the gacha system. This is your gateway to actually pulling characters.
Step 5: Claim All Rewards
Open your mail and claim all pre-registration rewards. Head to the settings menu and enter both available redemption codes. Check your sign-in events and collect any available rewards there too.
Every pull counts when you’re rerolling, so don’t miss any freebies.
Step 6: Use Your Headhunting Permits
Use all of your Headhunting Permits on the Standard Banner. If you get a 6-Star from your Standard pulls, write down which character you got and which email account it happened on. Even if it’s not your ideal target, this account might become your final choice depending on how your other attempts go.
Step 7: Evaluate Your Results
Now comes decision time:
Keep the account if:
You got your target character
You pulled the Limited Banner 6-Star
You got a strong Standard Banner 6-Star that fits your planned team composition
Reroll if:
You didn’t get any 6-Star characters
You only got 6-Star characters you don’t want to use or that don’t fit your team strategy
Step 8: Track Your Accounts
Keep a simple spreadsheet or notes document with information about each account. Write down the email address and what characters you pulled. This way, if you get tired of rerolling after 10 or 15 attempts (and trust me, you might), you can go back and choose the best account from what you’ve already created instead of walking away with nothing.
Step 9: Rinse and Repeat
Log out of your current account and log in with your next prepared email. Start the prologue again and repeat steps 3 through 8 until you either get your target character or decide you’re done with this process.
Each full reroll cycle takes 30 to 40 minutes, so pace yourself.
Our Honest Recommendation: Should You Actually Reroll?
Here’s the real talk: for most players, rerolling isn’t worth the time investment.
The gacha rates are extremely low, and each reroll takes half an hour or more. More importantly, Arknights: Endfield is heavily based on elemental reactions and team compositions. Even if you manage to pull a top-tier character through rerolling, you’ll need specific teammates to unlock their full potential. A single strong character won’t carry you without proper team synergy.
The game is also genuinely generous with free pulls over time. You’ll naturally acquire strong characters as you play, and the content is designed to be clearable without perfect starting rolls.
That said, if you’re the type of player who absolutely needs to optimize from day one and has the patience for it, rerolling can give you a strong start. Just know what you’re signing up for.
Which Characters Should You Reroll For?
If you’ve decided to commit to rerolling, here are your best targets based on team composition and long-term value:
Limited Banner Characters
Laevatain is the featured character on the first Limited Banner. She’s extremely strong in the right team compositions, but she’s not as flexible as some Standard Banner characters. The catch? Limited Banner rates make her one of the hardest pulls to actually get through rerolling.
Standard Banner Characters (More Realistic Targets)
Ardelia (S-Tier Reroll Target)
Ardelia is a Nature element Arts Unit who provides damage amplification and healing for your entire team. She applies long-lasting Arts and Physical susceptibility debuffs through her Combo and Battle Skills, making her useful in almost any team composition.
Here’s the interesting part: everyone gets Ardelia for free after logging in for 14 days. If you get her from your reroll, you’ll have a duplicate copy early. This is actually a strong option because you won’t need to wait two weeks to have your best support character fully available, and having an early duplicate helps with character progression.
Last Rite (S-Tier Reroll Target)
Last Rite is a Cryo element Great Sword damage dealer. She can function as either a main DPS or sub-DPS depending on your team setup, and she’s one of the most efficient Cryo Infliction applicators in version 1.0. If you’re planning to build a Cryo-focused team, Last Rite is an excellent reroll target.
In my opinion, if you’re committed to rerolling, go for Last Rite since you’ll get Ardelia for free anyway. This expands your roster options right from the start.
Pogranichnik (A-Tier Reroll Target)
Pogranichnik is a Physical Element Sword user. His Ultimate pulls enemies together, his Combo provides team-wide SP regeneration, and his Battle Skill applies Breach to increase Physical damage taken. He’s essential for Physical teams but doesn’t work well outside that elemental focus.
Lifeng (B-Tier Reroll Target)
Lifeng is another Physical element Polearm user who focuses on applying Vulnerable stacks and dealing personal damage. He’s solid for Physical teams but less impactful than Pogranichnik overall.
Ember (B-Tier Reroll Target)
Ember is a Heat-element Great Sword user who works as a tank and healer hybrid. Her Combo heals the controlled Operator, and her Ultimate shields the entire team. She’s useful but not as universally valuable as the S-tier options.
Reroll Priority Recommendations
Here’s how to prioritize your targets based on what you want to accomplish:
- Best universal characters: Ardelia (even though she’s free later), Last Rite
- Best Physical team characters: Pogranichnik, Ember
- Best Cryo team characters: Last Rite

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does each reroll attempt take in Arknights Endfield?
Each full reroll cycle takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes. This includes creating/logging into the account, playing through the unskippable tutorial sections, unlocking the gacha system, claiming all rewards, doing your pulls, and evaluating the results. It’s a significant time investment, especially if you’re planning multiple attempts.
Can I use the same email with dots or plus signs for multiple reroll accounts?
No, salted emails don’t work on the Endfield registration website. Adding dots between letters in your Gmail address or using plus signs won’t create separate accounts. You need completely unique email addresses for each reroll attempt, which means setting up multiple actual email accounts beforehand.
Is it better to reroll for Ardelia even though she’s free after 14 days?
It depends on your patience level. Getting Ardelia through rerolling means you have her available immediately and get a duplicate for early progression, which is valuable. However, since she’s guaranteed free after two weeks, many players prefer to reroll for Last Rite instead to expand their roster options. Both strategies are valid—it’s about whether you want immediate power or roster diversity.
What happens to my reroll accounts if I don’t use them?
The accounts remain active as long as you have the login credentials (email and password). This is why keeping a spreadsheet with your account details is important. If you complete 10-15 rerolls and don’t get your perfect target, you can always go back and choose the best account from your attempts rather than starting with nothing. Just make sure you remember which email went with which pulls.
