⚠️ Common Mistakes

❌

Spreading Resources Too Thin

Don't level every character. Focus on your main 4.

❌

Neglecting Factory Power

Always have 20% extra power capacity before expanding.

❌

Spending T-Creds on Standard Banner

Only pull on rate-up banners with good characters.

❌

Ignoring Equipment

Upgrade gear! It makes a huge difference in combat.

🔄 Reroll Guide

Should You Reroll?

⚠️ We Do NOT Recommend Rerolling

While rerolling can get you strong characters, the process is extremely tedious for these reasons:

No guest account system - Need new email for each attempt
20-45 minutes per roll - Must play until Valley Reboot quest
0.8% rate for 6★ - No pity on first pull session
Free 6★ from events - You'll get strong characters anyway

🎯 If You Still Want to Reroll - Target Characters

SS Tier - Must Have

Laevatain (Guard) Ardelia (Support)

S Tier - Excellent

Tangtang (Specialist) Gilberta (Caster) Avywenna (Caster)

How to Reroll (If You Insist)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is Arknights: Endfield free to play?

Yes! The game is completely free-to-play. You can experience all story content without spending money. The gacha system is for obtaining new characters faster, but you can earn currency through gameplay.

What's the difference between Arknights and Endfield?

Arknights is a 2D tower defense game. Endfield is a 3D real-time action RPG with factory building. They share the same universe but are completely different gameplay experiences.

Who should I pull for as a beginner?

Priority order: Laevatain (best DPS) > Fluorite (best healer) > Legion (best tank). If you can't get 6★ units, Snowshine (free 5★) is excellent!

How do I save my factory designs?

Open the blueprint menu (B key), select "Create Blueprint", drag to select your design, and give it a name. You can share codes with other players!

Is there multiplayer or co-op?

Currently single-player only. Co-op modes are planned for future updates according to the developer roadmap.

What platform is best?

PC is best for factory building with mouse/keyboard. Mobile is great for quick dailies. PS5 has the best graphics and performance.
