《Arknights: Endfield》Complete Starter Guide: First-Pull T0 Team Builds, Base Industry, and Daily Must-Dos

《Arknights: Endfield》combines real-time strategy with industrial construction. Without a sound resource plan, beginners can easily fall behind in both integrated industry and combat progression. This guide brings together hands-on data from closed and public betas, covering first-pull advice, T0 team-building styles, early-game pitfalls, and an efficient daily route to help you settle into life as a pioneer on Talos-II.

One. Recommended teams for rerolls and starting lineups at tier T 0 

Characters in the game have five major attributes: physical, heat, electromagnetic, natural, and cold. Elemental reactions, such as spell plus cold equals freeze, are key to dealing damage. Here are three recommended top lineups for early progression:

1. First choice for big spenders: ultimate Fire team (T 0)

• Core main carry:Laevatain
• Team setup:Antal + Wolfguard + Eldella
• Advantages explained:
• As the first limited-up character, Laevatain has extremely high burst damage and Survival ability.
• Easy-to-obtain teammates: Antal (4 stars), Wolf Guard (given through the main story), and Elda (given on day 3 of login rewards).
• Comes together extremely quickly, combining damage and control to form the fastest widely recognized team for starting out.

2. Free-to-play / no-spend powerhouse: Physical team (T1)

• Core main carry:Junwei
• Team setup:Chen Qianyu + Administrator (protagonist) + Da Pan / Elda
• Advantages explained:
• Junwei is a highly valuable permanent six-star character who provides a powerful physical buff.
• If you do not recruit Junwei from the beginner banner, Lifeng can serve as an alternative core.
• Low cost, forgiving, and suitable for players with limited resources.

3. A late bloomer: control-focused ice team (strong in the late game)

• Core main carry:Farewell gift
• Team setup: Perlica + Chen + Ardelia
• Advantages explained:
• Use the Freeze reaction for crowd control, with low Survival pressure.
• The downside is that the alternate lineup is slow to come online and needs more high-star characters. Consider switching in the mid or late game once you have enough resources.

II. Five beginner pitfalls to avoid: never spend resources carelessly

1. Never touch the “weapon banner” before deciding on your main carry

• Landmine:The weapon banner is expensive, and signature weapons are restricted by category, such as one-handed swords or two-handed swords. If you draw a two-handed sword but decide to develop the Administrator (one-handed sword), those resources are wasted outright.
• How to check for a signature weapon: Go to [Action Manual]→[Operator guide]→Open the character screen (press C on PC)→Check the recommended gear in [Weapon Slot].

2. Concentrate resources: keep your main carry ahead in levels

• Most combat is handled by a single main damage dealer on the field, while AI teammates use their skills.
• Strategy:Give 90% experience and breakthrough materials to your main damage dealer. Keep the main damage dealer 20 levels above teammates (for example, main damage dealer level 60, teammates level 40) to maximize damage.

3. stamina (sanity) planning

• Stamina recovers slowly (7 minutes per 1 points), but the cap is high. Early on, just make sure it does not overflow.
• Tips: When a higher-level dungeon unlocks, you can switch difficulties quickly by entering and immediately leaving a lower-level dungeon, instead of wasting stamina replaying it.

4. Gathered materials have a refresh timer

• Rare map resources such as columnar stone mushrooms and Darkstone are essential for character breakthroughs.
• Key points:These resources refresh in real time. Gather early to start the cooldown sooner instead of waiting until the last moment.

Three. Integrated Industry: The Core of Automated Production (Infrastructure System)

Integrated Industry is the only way to obtain equipment, shop currency, and special devices, so do not overlook it.

1. Production line construction priorities

• Early on, collect the “yellow balloons” on the map to obtain Industry Points and unlock the technology tree.
• Make good use of the Blueprint feature: import production lines designed by top players instead of building everything from scratch.
• Objective: Once an automated production line is built, idle play continuously produces supplies that can be exchanged for “Dispatch Tickets.”

2. Craft useful devices

• Zipline:Must do! Solves the problem of long travel distances and greatly improves exploration efficiency.
• Mining machine:Deploy it on an ore vein and connect the power to automate gathering; this is a main source of infrastructure materials in the late game.

3. Resource dispatch (buy low, sell high)

• Add 100 friends to the maximum and use the “Check Friend Prices” feature.
• Sell your goods to the friend offering the highest purchase price to earn a profit and get more “Dispatch Vouchers.”

Four. Efficient daily must-do checklist (Daily Routine)

This routine helps you collect all rewards in the shortest time, making it suitable for office workers and students:

Summary

The core of early progression in “Arknights: Endfield” is “choose the right mainC」and“Infrastructure snowball effect.” In the early game, concentrate resources on developing Laevatain or Junwei; in the mid-game, use automated industry to produce equipment and ziplines; in the late game, focus on optimizing team combos and elemental reactions. I Hope that this guide will help all administrators explore Towerguard Two more smoothly!
