Best team compositions with Meta & F2P Picks
The most-awaited gacha game, Arknights Endfield, is finally out and fans are currently figuring out which roster and team would be best in the game.
Just like most gacha-based RPGs, a balanced four-unit team is pretty important, which will combine damage, healing, buffs, synergy and utility among the characters.
6-star heroes deliver the most damage, but a lot of free and low-rarity troops are great at supporting other characters, so you can clear early and mid-game stuff without spending a lot of money. Let’s check out the best teams in this article.
Arknights Endfield: Best teams to run
Laevatain + Ardelia + Wulfgard + Akekuri
There is no doubt that this is the strongest team in the game right now. Laevatain is the top DPS thanks to her Heat-based AoE damage. Her Ultimate enhances her normal attacks and battle skins.
Ardelia and Wulfgard are both free units, which makes things pretty easy for the newcomers. Ardelia will provide consistent healing and damage buffs.
Meanwhile, Wulfguard applies Heat Infliction and contributes secondary damage. Akekuri rounds out the team by efficiently recovering Skill Points (SP), allowing Laevatain to cycle between her abilities more quickly.

Endministrator + Chen + Ardelia + Pogranichnik (F2P-Friendly)
This is for the players who are looking to play Arknights Endfield for free without spending money on in-game purchases.
Endministrator and Chen are free characters that are very good at physical damage. Putting stacks and dealing increased damage would be easy with them.
Pogranichnik is crucial here for Skill Point recovery and crowd control, as he uses his Ultimate to group adversaries. Ardelia rounds out the squad with healing and damage amplification.
Last Rite + Xaihi + Snowshine + Ardelia
Last Rite is another amazing damage dealer who specializes in Cryo Infliction mechanics. Build Cryo stacks quickly and consume them to trigger the combo skill to deal massive damage.
Xaihi and Snowshine are good low-rarity supports that work well with Last Rite. Both can administer Cryo and heal. Xaihi increases Cryo damage and Snowshine adds defensive shields.
Ardelia once again serves as a universal buffer and healer, keeping the squad steady in high-damage situations.
