Arknights Endfield Launch Reroll Tier List for New Accounts

Arknights Endfield Artwork 4

Arknights: Endfield’s launch reroll targets are dominated by a small group of S‑tier 6★ carries who can solo‑anchor teams for most early and mid‑game content. New accounts that secure one of these centerpiece units plus the free Ardelia have an excellent long‑term start.

How to Use This Reroll Tier List

Rerolling is time‑consuming, so the goal is one great 6★, not a perfect box. Aim for S tier; if you miss, settle on A tier plus your guaranteed free Ardelia and start playing.

  • S‑tier = priority reroll targets that can carry entire accounts.
  • A‑tier = excellent alternatives if you don’t hit S‑tier but still want a strong start.

S-Tier Reroll Targets at Launch

These operators appear at or near the top of multiple early tier lists and reroll guides.

TierOperatorWhy they’re S-tier for rerollsSources
SLaevatainFire AoE DPS frequently ranked as the #1 general‑purpose damage dealer; excels at both waveclear and bossing and is recommended as a premier limited reroll target.OSLink reroll guide; LDShop/Endfield tier lists; Mattjestic tier list video.
SPogranichnikPhysical Vanguard “battery” that refunds SP, stacks Breach Vulnerability, and massively amplifies team damage; often called the best standard‑banner start alongside Laevatain.OSLink reroll guide; LDShop tier list; standard banner rankings; 6★ tier videos.
SLast RiteHigh‑impact DPS rated among the top starters in several tier lists; recommended as a main carry option when Laevatain is not available.LDShop tier list conclusion; Mattjestic tier list; launch start videos.
SArdelia (free)Free 6★ Arts damage dealer repeatedly placed in T0/meta‑defining lists; incredibly flexible and easy to build around, making her the baseline for every new account.Tier lists and “best free 6★” breakdowns.

As most launch guides note, you do not reroll for Ardelia (she’s free), but her strength is the reason you can pair her with one rerolled 6★ and be set for a long time.

A-Tier Reroll Targets (Great, But Not Mandatory)

If you don’t land S‑tier but hit one of these plus Ardelia, it is usually good enough to stop rerolling.

TierOperatorWhy they’re strong earlySources
AEmberDurable defender with high stagger and sustain; recommended as a top early tank choice and often listed just below the S‑tier carries.LDShop tier list; Mattjestic tier list; launch start guides.
ALi FengStrong single‑target Physical DPS; appears near the top of standard‑banner rankings as a great first 6★ choice if you prefer physical over Arts.Standard banner tier video and written tier lists.
AGilbertaNature support/DPS hybrid that amplifies elemental reactions and can enable future reaction comps; rated S in some lists but more niche for pure rerolling than Laevatain.6★ tier list videos; LDShop and Mobalytics lists.
AAntal / SnowshineHighly rated T0/T1 supports/defenders in beta and composite tier lists; excellent long‑term investments but less crucial as first reroll targets than pure carries.Composite T0/T1 tier list and written breakdowns.

If you hit one of these A‑tier units alongside your guaranteed Ardelia and like their playstyle, most reroll guides recommend locking in the account and focusing on progression.​

Multiple reroll‑specific resources condense launch priorities into simple short lists.

Ideal S‑tier goals:

  1. Laevatain (limited banner)
  2. Pogranichnik
  3. Last Rite

Excellent A‑tier fallbacks:
4. Ember
5. Li Feng
6. Gilberta

OSLink’s reroll guide explicitly lists Laevatain and Pogranichnik as the best current reroll targets, while other creators add Last Rite and a handful of high‑tier standards as strong alternatives if you miss the top two.

When to Stop Rerolling

Launch testing strongly suggests you should not chase multi‑6★ “perfect” openings. Stop rerolling when:

  • You get any S‑tier carry (Laevatain, Pogranichnik, Last Rite) plus Ardelia from login, or
  • You get one A‑tier DPS or defender you like (Ember, Li Feng, Gilberta) and are tired of rerolling.

Tier‑list authors and reroll specialists agree that Endfield’s pity and long‑term rewards allow “good but not perfect” reroll starts to clear all content comfortably.
