Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, January 22, 2026 5:28 AM With their latest Fallout modathon having wrapped up at the close of last year, mod-hosting site Nexus Mods have decided to try something new with their latest event designed to supercharge mod creation around a specific game or theme. Rather than asking folks to submit fresh individual mods like usual, the modathon that's about to kick off is all about putting together chunky multi-mod lists which can overhaul a game in one fell swoop. These user-assembled modlists, dubbed Collections, are a feature Nexus Mods have been pushing for a number of years now, so it's not surprising they're now serving as the subject of a modathon for the first time. |

Arknights Endfield is out on PC and mobile, and version 1.0 has some unique teams you can use to clear the in-game content.
Much of your team composition will depend on your gacha luck. However, some characters are guaranteed to you from quests and objectives. While getting six-star characters will massively help in team-building, the ultimate aim is to use operators who synergise with one another.
Let's look at some of the best teams you can run in the current build.

Best team compositions in Arknights Endfield
Here are some of the best teams you can use in Arknights Endfield version 1.0.
Heat (Fire)
With Laevatain's banner currently live in Arknights Endfield, building a Fire team can be a good choice. The team revolves around Laevatain, and she gets further buffed by the duo of Wulfgard and Akekuri. They apply Heat Infliction, which is perfect for Laevatain's Melting Flame stacks. Ardelia's corrosion is highly useful in this team to complement your main DPS, and she can also provide you with the necessary heals.
Cryo (Ice)
Yvonne is a solid DPS to build a Cryo team around. Instead, I have opted for Last Rite since she is available to all for free. She's pretty much a top-tier character in the current meta, and the team above is easy to build. We have Xaihi playing the role of a sustain, while Akekuri helps generate more SP. The aim is to apply as much Cryo Infliction as possible. If you need more inflictions, Fluorite will help bridge the gap.
Electric
Mono electric is a good choice, and there are a lot of free characters to build with. Here's a good team to run if you are also someone who is F2P.
This team is pretty easy to build since there are no six-star characters. However, the Avywenna is a pretty good DPS if you're going the mono electric route. You'll still have to position her well to get max output from her kit. Perlica might not be a top-tier choice, but her combo can be used well by Arclight and Avywenna. Then there's Antal, who can buff the overall damage.
Physical
Another easy option is to go the Physical route, and there are plenty of good choices.
You can either use Endministrator or Lifeng as the main DPS. I went with Endministrator since everyone receives one right at the beginning of their adventures. Chen Qianyu is also a free unit and easy to build. She applies lots of Vulnerability stacks on the enemy, which amplifies the damage caused by both Lifend and Endministrator. Finally, Pogranichnik will allow you to gain SP as required sustainably.

The Valley Reboot quest in Arknights Endfield requires you to place Relay Towers at strategic positions to setup your factory, and you'll need to provide power to get them up and running.
When you've just started to play the game, most of the fundamental concepts will be explained via the tutorial. While it's easy to setup Relay Towers, it can be slightly confusing. This guide will lay out all the necessary steps to keep in mind when it comes to powering up the towers and finishing the Valley Reboot quest.
How to transmit power in Arknights Endfield
First, clear the tutorial and the initial set of quests till you reach Talos-II. Next, finish the Break the Siege quest to destroy the Ankhor at the AIC Research Center after fighting enemies at the Hub Base Power Plant. Once the PAC lands, the objective "Transmit Power to the Protocol Resonance Tower" begins.
To complete the objective, you'll need to place Power Relays and then connect them using cables.
Hence, you'll need to setup two extra Power Relay Towers, and connect all three before taking the wire to The Protocal Resonance Tower. You can easily reposition a Relay Tower if you accidentally place it at the wrong position.
