The wait is finally over. Arknights: Endfield has officially launched today, January 22, 2026, bringing its unique blend of real-time strategy, exploration, and factory building to PS5, PC, and mobile platforms. As millions of Endministrators crash land onto Talos-II, the race is on to secure the most powerful Operators right out of the gate. With a base 6-star pull rate of just 0.8%, securing a top-tier unit early can drastically smooth out your progression through the game’s challenging early chapters.

Whether you are a veteran Doctor from the original Arknights or a newcomer to Hypergryph’s expansive universe, this guide will walk you through the most efficient reroll methods and help you decide which characters are worth your time. Here is everything you need to know to optimize your start in Arknights: Endfield.

Should You Reroll in Arknights: Endfield?

Before diving into the technical steps, it is important to weigh the time investment. Rerolling in Arknights: Endfield is a commitment. A single run can take anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes depending on how fast you can skip dialogue and clear the tutorial combat sections. Unlike some gacha games that hand you a 10-pull immediately after name creation, Endfield requires you to reach a specific story milestone to unlock the Headhunting system.

However, the benefits are significant. The launch banners feature powerful limited units that define the early meta. If you are a free-to-play player or a low-spender, starting with a limited 6-star character like Laevatain ensures you save your premium currency (Oroberyl) for future updates. If you have the patience, rerolling is highly recommended for the best long-term value.

Step-by-Step Reroll Guide

The reroll process varies slightly depending on your platform. Mobile users have the easiest route via Guest Accounts, while PC and PS5 players may need to use the "salted email" method.

Method 1: The Guest Account Reset (Mobile)

This is the standard method for Android and iOS players. It involves clearing the game data to reset your guest account ID.

  • Step 1: Launch the game and select Guest Login at the title screen. Do not bind your email yet.
  • Step 2: Play through the tutorial. Skip cutscenes where possible, though some story segments are unskippable.
  • Step 3: Continue until you unlock the Headhunting (gacha) menu. This usually happens after clearing the first major combat mission in the factory ruins.
  • Step 4: Claim your pre-registration rewards and launch bonuses from the mail. You should have enough for at least 20-30 pulls.
  • Step 5: Pull on the Limited Banner (recommended) or the Beginner Banner.
  • Step 6: If you are unhappy with the results, go to your device settings, find Arknights: Endfield, and select "Clear Data" or "Delete Storage." Relaunch the game and repeat.

Method 2: The Salted Email Trick (PC & Mobile)

Since the PC client often lacks a guest login feature, this method allows you to create multiple accounts using a single Gmail address. This is critical for PC players who want to reroll without needing dozens of unique email addresses.

  • How it works: If your email is name@gmail.com, you can register as name+1@gmail.com, name+2@gmail.com, etc. The game treats these as unique accounts, but all verification codes will go to your main inbox.
  • The Process: Log out of your current account, register a new Gryphline account with a salted email (e.g., +1), and repeat the tutorial. Once you get a good roll, bind that account permanently.

Best Characters to Reroll For (Launch Tier List)

For launch day, your priority should be securing a high-damage carry or a versatile support unit that can sustain your team through the story. The current limited banner features Laevatain, who is arguably the strongest Arts DPS available.

Top Priority: Laevatain (S-Tier)

Role: Main DPS / Heat Element

Laevatain is the undisputed queen of the launch meta. Her kit revolves around stacking Heat status on enemies and detonating it for massive Area of Effect (AoE) damage. Her Ultimate skill clears waves of enemies instantly, making her invaluable for both exploration and boss fights. Because she is a limited character, you won't be able to get her easily after her banner ends, making her the number one reroll target.

Great Alternative: Pogranichnik (S-Tier)

Role: Physical Guard / Tank

If you prefer a physical playstyle, Pogranichnik is a fortress. She provides incredible survivability for the team while dealing respectable physical damage. Her shields allow you to ignore many boss mechanics that would otherwise one-shot lighter characters. She is an excellent starter if you want a safer, more forgiving playstyle.

Do Not Reroll For: Ardelia

While Ardelia is an S-Tier support unit who provides top-tier healing and buffs, do not reroll specifically for her. As part of the global launch celebration events, players can acquire Ardelia for free by completing the initial login event and beginner missions. Focus your reroll efforts on characters you cannot get for free.

Beginner Tips for Launch Day

Once you have secured your ideal starting roster, keep these tips in mind to maximize your early game progress:

  • Understand Elemental Reactions: Combat in Endfield relies heavily on reactions. Pairing a Heat character like Laevatain with an Electric unit creates powerful overload effects. Don't run a mono-element team early on; diversity is key to breaking enemy shields.
  • Automate Early: Don't ignore the factory building aspect. Setting up automated mining rigs for Originium and basic materials will save you hours of grinding later. Your AI teammates will collect resources automatically if you have the infrastructure set up.
  • Save for Hard Pity: The gacha system has a "hard pity" at 80 pulls for a 6-star, but the featured character guarantee on limited banners is at 120 pulls. Plan your spending carefully after your initial rerolls.

With your reroll complete and your team assembled, you are ready to explore the dangerous frontiers of Talos-II. Good luck, Endministrator.
