Arknights: Endfield How Many Arknights Endfield Characters Are There? news image

Arknights Endfield characters, called Operators, are split by rarity, class, element and weapon, and those four labels decide what each one does in a squad. With more than 30 playable Operators now available, knowing who fills which role makes it much easier to plan pulls and build teams that actually work together.

This guide from gamemarket.gg lists every playable Operator grouped by class, explains what the rarities, elements and weapon types mean, and shows which Operators players start with.

How Operators Are Classified

The official Arknights Endfield Operators page listing each Operator with class and element icons, with Class and Element filters at the top — Every Operator card shows its class and element icons, the same labels this guide uses

Every Operator carries four labels:

Rarity: 6-star, 5-star or 4-star. The current roster has 19 six-star, 10 five-star and 5 four-star Operators.
Class: the Operator's role in combat, from frontline damage to support.
Element: Physical, Heat, Electric, Cryo or Nature. Elements decide which status effects an Operator applies and which teammates they combine with.
Weapon: Sword, Great Sword, Polearm, Handcannon or Arts Unit, which also decides which weapons from the gacha they can equip.

Rarity is not the whole story. Several 5-star and 4-star Operators fill roles that 6-star units do not, and some lower-rarity picks stay useful well into the endgame.

Elements and Why They Matter

Elements shape team building more than any other label. Physical Operators lean on raw damage and physical status effects, while Heat, Electric, Cryo and Nature Operators apply elemental effects that teammates of the same or a complementary element can build on. Most strong squads are built around one or two elements, so an Operator who shares your main DPS's element often contributes more than a higher-rarity unit that does not.

Physical has the most Operators with nine, followed by Cryo with eight and Electric with seven. Heat and Nature have five each, and Nature stands out for having three of its five Operators outside the frontline: two Supporters, Ardelia and Gilberta, plus the Caster Arcane.

Who You Start With

The Endministrator, the 6-star Guard every account starts with

Every account begins with the Endministrator, a 6-star Guard who stays useful long after the tutorial. The early story then introduces several standard Operators that fill the first squad slots while you save for limited banners.

For players building a new account, the reroll guide covers which 6-star Operators are worth chasing at the start, and the early game progression guide explains how to level the first squad efficiently.

From Character List to Squad

A full roster list shows what is available, but deciding who to build first depends on strength as well as role. The current Arknights Endfield tier list ranks which Operators deliver the most value, while this list helps fill the gaps with the right class and element. A balanced squad usually covers one main damage dealer, one support, and two flexible slots that match the team's element.
