Arknights Endfield Best Exploration Teams for Open World Content
The best exploration teams in Arknights: Endfield are built for mobility, sustain, and low‑friction combat, not pure DPS checks. Most meta/open‑world guides recommend a 4‑slot shell of main DPS, frontliner, support/SP, and sustain, then picking an element core (Heat, Electric, Physical) that feels good to drive around with.
What Makes a Good Exploration Team
Exploration squads need to clear mobs quickly, survive chip damage, and stay comfortable over long routes.
- One reliable frontliner to face‑check unknown packs and elites.
- One main DPS with good AoE or wide hitboxes for trash mobs.
- One support/SP generator to keep skills flowing and boost movement/control.
- One sustain slot (healer/hybrid) so you do not constantly rely on TPs and consumables.
Element‑coherent teams (Heat, Electric, Physical) also make reactions more consistent in chaotic open‑world fights.
Heat Exploration Team (Fast Clear & Forgiving)
Laevatain‑centric Heat comps are repeatedly recommended as premier “do‑everything” teams for early–mid exploration.
Endfield.gg and LDPlayer both note that the Laevatain Heat Team excels at open‑world progression and feels very comfortable moment‑to‑moment.
Electric Exploration Team (Most Resource-Efficient)
Mono‑Electric comps are praised as the most resource‑efficient and smooth for general play, perfect for F2P exploration.
Both LDPlayer and Game8 describe the Avywenna Electric Team as the most resource‑friendly comp that still clears exploration content quickly.
Physical Exploration Team (Stable and Flexible)
Physical‑leaning lineups are described as the most balanced all‑rounders and work well when you lack key elemental 6★s.
Physical comps are recommended by LDPlayer and Endfield.gg as “most balanced” and especially good if you move between exploration and standard combat frequently.
Quick Recommendations
- If you have Laevatain, run a Heat team for open‑world comfort.
- If you are mainly F2P or low‑spend, lean into Avywenna Electric + Perlica for efficient exploration.
- If your box is Physical‑heavy, use an Endministrator/Pogranichnik shell with Ardelia for a safe, flexible roam squad.
All three archetypes follow the same structure, frontline, main DPS, support/SP, sustain, so you can pivot between them easily as your roster grows.
