Arknights Endfield Monthly Card and Subscription Value Analysis for Low-Spenders
Arknights: Endfield’s Monthly Card (subscription) is designed as the best long‑term value for low‑spenders who log in daily, trading a small upfront cost for a steady stream of premium currency and stamina. For most budget players, the optimal combo is Monthly Card + mid‑tier Protocol Pass, with the Monthly Card alone already offering strong returns if you play casually.
What the Monthly Card Gives You
Exact numbers can vary slightly by region, but shop breakdowns and pricing pages outline how the Monthly Card works in 1.0.
- Price: Roughly 5 USD (or regional equivalent) per month according to early shop previews.
- Core benefits over 30 days typically include:
Reddit shop analysis notes this follows the classic Arknights‑style “monthly card” pattern: low price, daily premium currency, and extra stamina that scales with how reliably you log in.
Value Per Dollar Compared to Other Options
Community maths shows that, purely in terms of pulls‑per‑dollar, the Monthly Card competes closely with or beats raw Origeometry packs.
- One month of the card typically yields well over 10 pulls’ worth of premium currency when the upfront bonus and daily income are converted to Oroberyl.
- Straight Origeometry top‑ups (gem packs) offer average value, with around 52.5 pulls for 100 USD—“only marginally better than other titles,” meaning you are paying standard gacha rates.
- A Reddit breakdown summarises it as: “low‑spenders can obtain good value from the BP and Monthly pack,” with the monthly card still being the best pure pull value, while the Battle Pass is stronger for materials and weapons.
In short: if you want more pulls and stamina for the least money, the Monthly Card is one of the most efficient purchases in the game.
How It Compares to the Battle Pass for Low-Spenders
Low‑spend theorycrafting consistently recommends a Monthly Card + mid‑tier Protocol Pass setup for players willing to spend a little each month.
One popular comment summarises it bluntly: “If you’re aiming for straight pulls, the monthly pass still offers better value, but the premium tier of the BP is quite strong—especially early on.”
Is the Monthly Card Worth It for Low-Spenders?
For players who can comfortably afford a small monthly spend and log in most days, the Monthly Card is widely considered worth it.
- It turns a few dollars into a constant drip of pulls + stamina, both of which scale your entire account over time.
- The daily Sanity booster accelerates farming without forcing you into long sessions, which suits busy players who just want faster progression from short logins.
Where it is not worth it is if you:
- Rarely log in (missing many daily stipends), or
- Prefer truly zero‑spend play; in that case just ignore it and rely on launch rewards, codes, and events.
For the typical low‑spender, the recommended priority order is:
