Rank the full Arknights: Endfield operator roster your way. Tap or drag each operator into S, A, B, C or D, shuffle the pool, and export a clean image to share your list — all in your browser, mobile-first, nothing to install.
Hypergryph's semi-open-world sci-fi RPG — the studio behind the original Arknights — arrived as one of the biggest gacha launches of 2026, and its roster keeps growing with each update.
Arknights: Endfield fields four operators at a time in real-time combat, so a good tier list isn't about raw stars — it's about the role each operator fills on a team. Rank with these lenses in mind.
Operators who hold the point and deal sustained melee damage carry most fights. On any team they're the anchor, so they tend to fight hardest over your S and A tiers.
Backline damage and burst specialists delete priority targets and elites. Rate them on how reliably they turn a fight before it turns on you.
Defenders and healers keep your squad alive through the Blight and elite mobs. Underrated on paper, often the reason a team clears at all.
Operators who slow, group or buff bend a fight in your favour. Judge them by how much they raise your whole team's ceiling, not their own numbers.
The current roster spans six-, five- and four-star operators — Ardelia, Laevatain, Zhuang Fangyi and returning Surtr at the top end, plus strong lower-rarity picks like Perlica, Chen Qianyu and Fluorite. Stars hint at ceiling, but investment and team fit decide real value.
Endfield blends fights with base-building and factory sim. Some players weight operators by their utility around the base too — a perfectly fair axis to build a second tier list around.
An operator is only S-tier if they win the situations you actually play — boss fights, elite waves, or clearing the open world. Judge by the job they do on your team.
If half your roster is S-tier, the list says nothing. Reserve S for two or three genuine standouts and let A hold the merely-great.
Sort front-liners against front-liners, healers against healers. Ordering inside each role first makes cross-tier placement far easier to defend.
On a phone, tap an operator then tap a tier — no fiddly dragging. Your arrangement auto-saves in your browser as you go.

A roster tier list is one of the most-shared things in any gacha community, and Arknights: Endfield is no exception — every update sends players scrambling to re-rank who's worth pulling and building. But most lists fall apart the moment someone asks “why?” This maker, and this guide, help you build one that actually survives a Reddit thread. You tap or drag each operator into S through D, and when you're happy you export a clean image to share.
A tier list is an argument, not a mood board — rank by role on a four-operator team and keep S honest.
Endfield isn't a tower-defence game like the original Arknights — it's a real-time action RPG where you control a squad of four operators at once, swapping between them mid-fight, all while running a base and factory economy in the background. That structure is the key to a good ranking. An operator's value isn't a single number; it's how well they fill a slot on a team of four. A front-line anchor, a burst-damage carry, a healer and a support each do a different job, and the best lists rank operators against others who do the same job before comparing across roles.
It's tempting to just drop every six-star into S and every four-star into C, but that produces a list nobody learns anything from. Rarity hints at an operator's ceiling, not their real-world value on your account. A five-star like Perlica or Chen Qianyu who slots perfectly into your main team can out-earn a six-star you never invested in, and strong four-stars such as Fluorite or Estella punch well above their stars with the right build. Rank each operator on the role they play — front-line damage, ranged burst, guard and sustain, or control and support — and let investment and team fit, not the star count, decide the tier.
S-tier should hurt to assign. If a third of the roster lands in S, the tier has stopped meaning anything. Allowing only two or three genuine S-tier operators forces the real choices that make a tier list interesting to argue about — and those arguments are the whole point. Everything that's merely very good belongs in A. The same discipline applies all the way down: a tight, opinionated list beats a generous one every time.
Ranking twenty-five-plus operators all at once is overwhelming, so don't. Sort the front-liners against each other first, then the ranged damage dealers, then healers and defenders, then the control and support operators. Once each role has a clear internal order, promoting or demoting between tiers becomes obvious rather than agonising. The roster section above gives you the lenses to sort by; use them as your columns before you ever touch a tier.
You'll find no shortage of confident Endfield tier lists online claiming a definitive meta, and plenty of leak-driven rankings for operators that aren't even out yet. Treat them all as opinions. The honest truth is that a live gacha's meta moves constantly — a balance pass, a new support that enables an old carry, or an update like September's Dreamscape of Wind and Snow can reshuffle the whole board overnight. That's exactly why this is a maker, not a fixed chart: the most useful tier list is the one that reflects your account, your teams and the current patch, built by you.
The whole point is that this list is yours. Tap through the roster, shuffle when you want to challenge your own assumptions, and when it reflects how you actually play, hit Export PNG. You'll get a crisp, watermarked image sized for social — perfect for kicking off a debate on Reddit, dropping in a Discord, or posting to X. Your arrangement also saves in your browser, so you can close the page and come back to tweak it as the roster grows and your opinions change.
Once you've got the hang of it, the same logic applies to more than a single combat ranking. Build one tier list for raw combat power and a second for base and factory utility, since Endfield rewards both. Rank by role, keep the top honest, sort within a class first, and always be ready to defend your S-tier — that's all there really is to a tier list people respect.
