Best Operators in Arknights: Endfield
At the moment, the most powerful operators in Arknights: Endfield are Ardelia, Laevatain, and Last Rite.
Ardelia is a 6-Star operator with Nature as her Element. She's an extremely reliable healer Support, as her battle skill and ultimate can summon Shadows of Mr. Dolly, which can heal her allies.
Laevatain is a potent 6-Star Striker who is capable of strong AoE damage on the battlefield. She can also absorb enemies' Heat Infliction, which she uses to build up Melting Flame stacks that power her battle and combo skills.
Last Rite is another 6-Star Striker who can deal deadly damage to enemies. Her battle skills and Final Strikes allow her to build up Cryo Infliction stacks. These can then be used to trigger combo skills and her ultimate, which will deliver insanely serious damage.
Worst Operators in Arknights: Endfield
The weakest operators in Arknights: Endfield are Arclight and Fluorite.
Arclight is a 5-Star Vanguard with Electric as her Element. While she can absorb Electrification from enemies to deal damage and recover SP, her overall synergy with most team comps falls short.
Fluorite is a 4-Star Caster with Nature as her Element. She's capable of dealing Nature or Cryo Infliction on enemies; however, if we're looking at Casters as a Class, you have more powerful options in Perlica and Wulfguard than Fluorite.
