The message boards blew up the instant the beta ended. Everyone was asking the same question: who should I pull for? Arknights Endfield arrives on PC, consoles, and mobile devices on January 22nd, and the sheer number of Operators available from day one is impressive.
This is a gacha RPG, which means you’ll be summoning characters via banners. Like most games in the genre, a bit of luck will be required. Operators also come in different rarities, so let’s break down all the Operators you can get your hands on right away.

Will Arknights Endfield characters be free?
I’ve seen a lot of games where you’re nickel and dimed at every turn. Some characters will be available without spending, while others will only appear in banners, based on what we saw in the betas. Expect at least one special banner, in addition to the standard one, which will always be available.
In a game like Arknights Endfield, team composition is a finely tuned instrument, where each character contributes to the overall melody. A tier-list is coming soon, and the community will quickly decide who its favorites are.
