This Arknights Endfield tier list reflects the V1.0 balance changes, taking into account recent updates to operator skills, stats, and overall performance.
All rankings are based primarily on General, the game’s most demanding endgame mode, where damage output, survivability, and strategic flexibility matter far more than early-game convenience. Performance in Algorithmic Memories and other high-difficulty content is also heavily weighted.
Operators are divided into five tiers (T0–T4), each representing a different level of power and reliability in endgame scenarios.
T0 – Meta-Defining (Total Rating: 15+)
These operators sit at the very top of the meta.
They dominate endgame content with exceptional damage, utility, or survivability and often define optimal team compositions. If you are pushing difficult content consistently, these units are considered near-mandatory.
T1 – Top-Tier (Total Rating: 11–14)
Extremely strong and versatile operators that perform just slightly below T0.
They excel in endgame and remain core picks for most strategies. While not always meta-defining, they are reliable, powerful, and worth heavy investment.
T2 – Strong (Total Rating: 8–10)
Solid and dependable operators that perform well across multiple scenarios.
They may lack the raw impact of higher tiers, but they still contribute meaningfully to endgame clears and work especially well when paired with stronger units.
T3 – Situational (Total Rating: 4–7)
Operators that can perform well under the right conditions but require specific setups, stages, or team compositions.
They are usable in endgame content but often need higher investment or careful planning to compete with higher-tier options.
T4 – Niche / Underwhelming (Total Rating: 0–3)
Operators with limited impact in the current version.
They are often outclassed in their role and are generally not recommended for endgame investment unless used for very specific strategies.
Currently, no operator falls into this tier.
Arknights Endfield Tier List (V1.0)
T0 – Meta-Defining Operators
- Antal
- Ardelia
- Endministrator
- Laevatain
- Last Rite
- Pogranichnik
- Yvonne
These operators consistently deliver top-tier performance in endgame content. They offer powerful kits that scale well with investment and remain effective across a wide range of high-difficulty scenarios.
T1 – Top-Tier Operators
- Akekuri
- Alesh
- Avywenna
- Chen Qianyu
- Da Pan
- Ember
- Estella
- Gilberta
- Lifeng
- Xaihi
T1 operators are extremely strong and flexible. While they may not fully define the meta, they are reliable picks that can carry teams through endgame content with the right support.
T2 – Strong Operators
- Arclight
- Perlica
- Wulfgard
These operators perform well and remain viable in endgame content, particularly when filling specific roles or supporting higher-tier units. They are solid investments but usually not priority picks over T0 or T1 operators.
T3 – Situational Operators
- Catcher
- Fluorite
- Snowshine
T3 operators can be effective but are more dependent on team composition, stage mechanics, or specific strategies. They require more planning and investment to shine compared to higher-tier options.
This tier list focuses strictly on endgame performance under current V1.0 balance conditions. Future updates, new operators, or further skill adjustments may significantly shift rankings.
Lower-tier operators are not unusable, but when resources are limited, prioritizing T0 and T1 units will provide the most consistent results in challenging content.
