Unlike in the tower defense Arknights where your pulled characters are complete kits that only require leveling, Endfield will need you to equip your operators with suitable weapons and some gear. Here we'll take a look at all the currently available operators and the best weapons for their roles. As of now, our findings are based off Beta Test II, but we'll keep updating as the game develops on launch.

Aesthetics are often a dead giveaway for someone's signature weapon, but what's definitely a breath of fresh air is the fact that most lower star operators also have some 6★ best in slots. There's no need for your lower rarity ops to be lagging behind in terms of equipment! As the roster of weapons in Endfield expands, we expect other, more team-specific options to be available for some 5★ and 4★ operators.
Best Weapons For 6★ Operators
| Operator | Weapons | Description |
|---|---|---|
 Ardelia Arts Unit Int Wil |  Dreams of the Starry Beach  Chivalric Virtues  Opus: Etch Figure  Stanza of Memorials  OBJ Arts Identifier | Ardelia's signature weapon, Dreams of the Starry Beach comes with traits specially attuned to her healing support, with an Intellect and Treatment Efficiency boost. Also, the Infliction effect makes her especially good on any Arts team, given that it gives an Arts DMG Taken debuff to enemies when she consumes Corrosion. Alternatives include Chivalric Virtues which buff her secondary stat Will, but also give her a Treatment Efficiency boost. When she heals with her skill, the team also gets an ATK buff. Opus: Etch Figure also plays into her Arts team compatibility, giving multiple team Arts boosts whenever she applies Nature Infliction to enemies. Two 5★ alternatives include Stanza of Memorials, boosting her main stat and giving ATK buffs to any non-nature teammates; as well as OBJ Arts Identifier which makes her buff Heat and Electric Arts teammates whenever Ardelia herself applies Arts Burst. |
 Laevatain Sword Int Str |  Forgeborn Scathe  Umbral Torch  Fortmaker | Laevatain signature Forgeborn Scathe is perfectly tuned to the realization of her Ultimate with a Heat DMG increase and a massive boost to her Basic Attack DMG for the duration of said Ultimate. Alternatively, Umbral Torch still plays well into her niche with a Main Attribute and Heat DMG Boost, but works best against groups of 3 enemies and Combustion oriented teams. A 5★ alternative to get her damage output up is Fortmaker, covering the boost of Laevatain's main stat, and additional Arts and ATK boosts. |
 Last Rite Greatsword Str Wil |  Khravengger  Sundered Prince  Seeker of Dark Lung | Last Rite's Khravengger is a signature which boosts her Strength, Cryo DMG and is extra potent against enemies already affected with Cryo Infliction. Alternative 6★ would be the Sundered Prince, which covers her main stat, Strength while giving her ATK boosts and Stagger amplification when she is the controlled operator. The Seeker of Dark Lung is a solid 5★ replacement, still playing into the needed Strength boost, upping her Ultimate Gain Efficiency and also boosting Last Rite's ATK whenever she applies Arts Burst, stackable up to three times. |
 Pogranichnik Sword Wil Agi |  Never Rest  Rapid Ascent  Eminent Repute  OBJ Edge of Lightness | Pogranichnik's signature weapon Never Rest is by far the best pick for him, as it amplifies his main stat and Physical DMG dealt whenever he recovers SP through his skills, stackable up to 5 times. Alternatively, Rapid Ascent is instead focused on his secondary stat and upping Critical Rate, but the Physical DMG buffs are still of much use to him, especially against Staggered enemies. Eminent Repute could also act as a stand-in with its Agility and Physical DMG boosts, and it works best if you have Pogranichnik play the active role of consuming Vulnerability stacks through Breach of his skill. OBJ Edge of Lightness is a suitable 5★ alternative if you're running Pogranichnik in a team with Heat or Electric main DPS, and it also boosts his secondary stat. |
 Endministrator Sword Agi Str |  Grand Vision Rapid Ascent Eminent Repute  Sundering Steel | Grand Vision is styled and set as Endmin's signature, and its bonus effect specifically mention their Originium Crystal skill with a Physical DMG boost as well as Agility main stat buff. Rapid Ascent and Eminent Repute are both a good replacement with their Physical DMG buffs and Agility main stat boosts. The best 5★ alternative would be Sundering Steel, a sword which also plays into the Agility boost as well as provides ATK buffs for any Physical Status the wielder inflicts. |
 Ember Greatsword Str Wil |  Thunderberge Sundered Prince  Exemplar  OBJ Heavy Burden  Finishing Call | Ember's singature Thunderberge is the very best pick for her; its effect is very specific for Ember's supporting abilities and boost her protective abilities even further with a shield for the controlled operator on top of healing them with her combo. It's no exaggeration to say that she can solo sustain as well as be a subDPS with this weapon properly kitted out. Sundered Prince is a good alternative if she is the controlled operator; while the Exemplar is simply boosting her Physical DMG output and works best if she is not controlled, allowing her to take a more passive role focused on combos. OBJ Heavy Burden is a good 5★ pick if you aim to boost both of her priority stats with a special DEF boost when she inflicts Knocked Down; while the Finishing Call is geared more towards boosting her healing capabilities. |
 Lifeng Polearm Agi Str |  Mountain Bearer  Valiant  Chimeric Justice | Lifeng's signature polearm Mountain Bearer is specifically built for him and is somewhat irreplaceable if you want to get the most out of him and enable him even for roles he previously wasn't as suited for; with a stunning all attribute buff stackable twice when he inflicts Knocked Down or Physical Susceptibility. An alternative 6★ would be the Valiant; with a boost to his Agility, ATK and Physical DMG further enhanced through infliction of Physical Statuses. The 5★ replacement Chimeric Justice is a decent alternative that also buffs Lifeng in various ways through the application of Vulnerabilities. |
 Yvonne Int Agi |  Artzy Tyrannical  Navigator  Opus: The Living | Artzy Tyrannical, Yvonne's signature handcannon is perfectly attuned to her Crit hits and is boosting both her Critical Rate and Cryo DMG Dealt. The Navigator is a decent 6★ alternative that boosts her main stat, Ultimate Gain Efficiency, Critical Rate and also further boosts Cryo DMG Dealt when she applies Solidification. Opus: The Living, a 5★ handcannon is a good replacement if you have access to neither of the two; boosting her secondary stat, Arts DMG, ATK and Critical Rate. |
 Gilberta Wil Int |  Delivery Guaranteed | Gilberta's signature Delivery Guaranteed is boosting all of her niches, focusing on DMG amplification when she applies Lift, while also buffing the team's Arts DMG output. the Ultimate Gain Efficiency Boost ensures you can cast her Ultimate more often. |
Best Weapons For 5★ Operators
| Operator | Weapon | Description |
|---|---|---|
 Snowshine Greatsword Str Wil |  Former Finery Finishing Call | The best weapon for Snowshine is the 6★ Former Finery; with its special trait, it allows her to restore HP for a Protected operator scaling off her secondary stat, which is further boosted through the weapon itself. The 5★ alternative Finishing Call directly increases Snowshine's Combo HP restoration, while enhancing both her primary and secondary stats. |
 Alesh Sword Str Int |  Finchaser 3.0 | The only weapon worth mentioning for Alesh as of now is the 5★ Finchaser 3.0, a sword that amplifies his main stat, Ultimate Gain Efficiency and ATK, while also creating an opening for any Cryo DPS on the team whenever Alesh applies Solidification with his battle skill. |
 Da Pan Greatsword Str Wil | Sundered Prince Exemplar  Ancient Canal | The best weapons for Da Pan could be either the Sundered Prince if he is the controlled operator, or Exemplar if he's not. Both play well into his stats and amplify his combat potential. The 5★ alternative for him is the Ancient Canal greatsword, a weapon which enhances his Physical DMG when he consumes Vulnerability stacks, which he often does. The Arts enhancements from this weapon are unfortunately useless to him. |
 Arclight Sword Agi Int |  White Night Nova  Twelve Questions | Arclight's best weapon is currently the White Night Nova, a 6★ that grants her an Intellect boost with additional Arts Intensity and DMG boosts. The two latter stats are also further enhanced if the wielder applies Electrification on the enemies, which suits Arclight's playstyle and will allow her to deal more damage. The alternative, 5★ Twelve Questions boosts her main stat Agility and ATK, while further enhancing her secondary attribute and also ATK when she consumes an Arts Reaction, twice stackable with a good uptime. |
 Perlica Arts Unit Int Wil |  Oblivion  Detonation Unit  Wild Wanderer | Perlica's strongest Arts Unit is the 6★ Oblivion; a weapon which directly enhances her Intellect and Attack. It also gives her a Critical Rate boost and a buff to Arts DMG dealt whenever she casts either Ultimate or combo skill, applied separately and not stackable. Another 6★ option for her is the Detonation Unit, which also covers her strongest stats and creates an opening for all Arts DMG taken by the enemies whenever she applies an Arts Burst; especially useful with Perlica as the subDPS. If any 6★s are a no-go, the 5★ Wild Wanderer is specifically crafted for the Electric units and Physical/Electric compositions, giving both of these enhancements to the team when wielder applies Electrification, while also conveniently enhancing Perlica's own main stat and Electric DMG. |
 Wulfgard Handcannon Str Agi |  Clannibal  Rational Farewell | Wulfgard's best in slot Handcannon Clannibal directly enhances his primary stat, Strength with an additional boost to it through its effect. The effect also makes Wulfgard a perfect subDPS for a more potent Heat hypercarry, given that the enemy suffers more Arts DMG taken when he consumes an Arts Reaction, in the attribute of the reaction that occured (in his case, Heat). The alternative is the 5★ Rational Farewell, specifically targeting enhancements to Wulfgard's ATK whenever he applies Combustion or Arts Burst. He also receives enhancements to his main stat and Heat DMG with this weapon. |
 Chen Qianyu Sword Agi Str | Rapid Ascent  Aspirant | Chen Qianyu's BiS is undoubtedly Rapid Ascent, a Wuling-styled sword that targets all of her niches with Agility and Critical Rate enhancements, as well as skills and Ultimate Physical DMG boosts, even stronger against Staggered targets. Alternatively, the 5★ Aspirant is good as it enhances her Physical DMG capabilities when she applies Lift. |
 Avywenna Polearm Wil Agi |  JET  Cohesive Traction | JET, a 6★ Polearm is definitely best attuned to Avywenna's playstyle, and it enhances both her Attack and her main stat, Will. She further gains Arts DMG enhancements when she uses either of her skills, an unstackable effect applied separately. A 5★ alternative for her is the Cohesive Traction, targeting specifically Electric DMG and Combo skill output. It allows Avywenna to gain an Electric DMG bonus for the next skill cast whenever her combo is procced, a buff stackable up to three times. |
 Xaihi Arts Unit Wil Int | Chivalric Virtues  Freedom to Proselytize | The best Arts Unit for Xaihi as of now is Chivalric Virtues, a weapon targeting her Treatment efficiency and also providing the team with an ATK boost whenever Xaihi gives HP Treatment with her skill. It also covers Xaihi's primary stat, Will. The 5★ Freedom to Proselytize is also perfectly suited to her, providing additional healing for the controlled operator whenever Xaihi restores HP with her skill. Both boosts, Will and Treatment Efficiency are great for Xaihi's kit. |
Best Weapons For 4★ Operators
| Operator | Weapon | Description |
|---|---|---|
 Fluorite Handcannon Agi Int |  OBJ Velocitous Clannibal Opus: The Living | OBJ Velocitous is currently the best choice for Fluorite's weapon; its effects are perfectly complementary to her kit. 6★ Clannibal is also a pretty good pick for Fluorite. Though the Strength stat enhancement is a mismatch to her stats, it does provide a boost to her main attribute and also allows her to create an opening for a Nature DPS. Another good 5★ alternative is Opus: The Living, with an enhancement to her Agility and Arts DMG, as well as a little bit of Critical Rate and an ATK buff procced whenever she applies an Arts reaction, stackable twice. |
 Catcher Greatsword Str Wil | Exemplar OBJ Heavy Burden Sundered Prince | The Exemplar is the best weapon for Catcher, with its clean enhancements to Physical DMG dealt and Catcher's main stat Strength. Alternatively, 5★ OBJ Heavy Burden is also decent on him with its DEF enhancement when he applies Weakened with his Ultimate. Sundered Prince could also be a good 6★ pick if he is your controlled operator, though this is less likely to happen. |
 Antal Arts Unit Int Str | Detonation Unit OBJ Arts Identifier Wild Wanderer | The strongest currently available weapon for Antal is the Detonation Unit, which both boosts his Intellect and secondary attribute, and allows him to create an opening for other Electric damagers whenever he applies an Arts Burst. Alternatively, both 5★ OBJ Arts Identifier and the Wild Wanderer are great for helping him boost the Electric DMG potential of his team, either through Arts Bursts or applying Electrification. Just make sure not to run the same weapon as the other Electric Arts Unit so as not to overlay effects of same name, thus preventing stacking of DMG amplifications. |
 Akekuri Sword Agi Int | OBJ Edge of Lightness | Akekuri's best weapon currently in the game is the 5★ OBJ Edge of Lightness. It her a great Vanguard pick for Heat and Electric teams, given that this sword's special effect gives these boosts to the team when she recovers SP through skill, stackable three times. This sword covers her Agility main stat, as well as giving her an ATK boost and a boost to her secondary attribute. |
 Estella Polearm Wil Str | JET  OBJ Razorhorn | The strongest pick for Estella is the JET 6★ Polearm as of now, allowing her stronger Arts DMG coming from her skill. The main stat perfectly complements her own main stat, Will. JET also gives her an Attack boost. The alternative to JET is the 5★ OBJ Razorhorn, allowing her to work with Cryo Infliction and Solification, for DMG and ATK enhancements when she attacks Cryo Inflicted enemies or consumes Solidification. It also goes hand in hand with the buff for the main stat, Will. |
