Arknights Endfield 1.4 New Characters

• Arcane

Arcane is the codename of Li Zhiyan, a Yinglung Special Task Force member and combat veteran now co-operating with Endfield Industries. She debuts as Endfield's first Nature DPS operator, built around a dual-role kit that lets her flex between damage dealer and support through her Array Arcana system, which switches states based on whether her Intellect or Will stat is dominant.

When Intellect leads, she enters [Array Arcana: INT], her damage-focused state that frequently cycles her Battle Skill and Combo Skill, applies Susceptibility and Corrosion, and unlocks the second phase of her Ultimate. When Will leads, she shifts into [Array Arcana: WILL], her support state, pulling enemies together with her Battle Skill and applying and spreading any Arts Infliction through her Combo Skill and Ultimate. Full numbers will come with launch, but Endministrators looking to squeeze more flexibility out of Nature or hybrid comps should test both states when her banner drops.

• Liino

Liino is an idol operator debuting in Version 1.4 as Endfield's newest Electric Supporter. Like Arcane, she runs on a two-stance system, but she swaps stances through her skills directly rather than through stat thresholds.

Her low-SP-cost Battle Skill puts her into [Vocalist Stance], where she gives up Basic Attacks in exchange for a passive support loop that continuously raises team ATK, heals nearby operators, and periodically attacks on its own. Her Ultimate flips her into [Cosmovoice Stance], dealing large-area damage, force-applying Electrification, further boosting team ATK, providing stronger healing, and granting Electric Amp and Nature Amp to allies. Detailed values will come with launch, but based on the livestream, Liino looks tailor-made to sit in the background of an Electric-focused team.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 New Weapons

Version 1.4 introduces five new weapons to the roster. Type 42: Solemn Phalanx (6★ Arts Unit) and Bedazzling Night Debut (6★ Polearm) are the signature limited weapons for Arcane and Liino, available on their respective weapon banners. Junction Point (6★ Arts Unit) and Golden Age (6★ Polearm) will be obtainable through the Version 1.4 Protocol Pass: Blighted Sea. Rounding out the lineup is Farsight (6★ Sword), a free 6★ weapon gifted to all Endministrators through the Tribute of Companionship login campaign as part of the Companionship Celebration.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 New Areas

Version 1.4 introduces two new maps to the north of Wuling City: Yinglung Pass and the North Wuling Exclusion Zone. Yinglung Pass is the first area Endministrators will cross to progress the new main mission, and it will also house a new AIC outpost, the Xiranflow Cloudseeder Station. Beyond it lies the North Wuling Exclusion Zone, where the Endfield Crisis Team, joined by Arcane, will venture deeper into territory tied to previously teased story elements like the Wuling Very Large Rift and the Yinglung Special Task Force. Both zones introduce new exploration puzzle mechanics, including Fluid Supply Unit puzzles used to clear small rifts, alongside a new enemy type - the Blightshade - and a new boss, Alleikhreos, Chiliarch.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 New Gear Sets and Gear Pieces Update

Version 1.4 adds two new gear sets to the roster: the AIC Fieldwork Gear Pack and the Rift Trekker Gear Pack, both obtainable in the Wuling region. Alongside the new sets, additional gear pieces will also be introduced for the existing Eternal Xiranite, Hot Work, and LYNX gear sets, giving Endministrators more options for rounding out their builds.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 New AIC Updates

Version 1.4 brings the biggest AIC update yet with the introduction of Gas products. Two new gas resources, Inergen and Xiragen, will be added to existing areas, alongside new formulas that streamline Heavy Xiranite production and enable crafting of Pyrrolite Components using Pyrrolite Gas for new gear. A new AIC outpost, the Xiranflow Cloudseeder Station, becomes available in Yinglung Pass, and two new combat facilities - the Torrent Gun Tower and Electrocharger Model A-2 - will be added to the roster. Pipe Control and Item Control Ports can now adjust flow rate, and Fluid Supply Units can be used in the wild without power after unlocking an upgrade.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 New Quests

Version 1.4 continues the Wuling story arc with a new Main Mission set in the region north of Wuling City, taking on a heavier tone as it ties into previously teased elements like the Wuling Very Large Rift and the Yinglung Special Task Force. Alongside the MSQ, Liino's Operator Mission, Like a Star Streaking Through the Boundaries, will also be available for Endministrators to explore her backstory.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 Rewards

Version 1.4 comes packed with freebies. All Endministrators will receive a free 6★ Sword, Farsight, as part of the Companionship Celebration, plus 2,000 Oroberyls sent via in-game mail as appreciation for the Dev Notes stream.

Other events include the Tribute of Companionship login campaign, the Gaze North to the Rift Sign-In for bonus Arcane pulls, the Bedazzling Dawnstar Sign-In for bonus Liino pulls, and the Gaze Towards the Northern Exclusion guide event.

Arknights Endfield 1.4 Future Character Teasers

The 1.4 livestream also gave Endministrators a look at several future operators coming beyond Homecoming. Si, the 13th Sui Proxy, was confirmed to officially appear in future content, showing up before the player in her true form in Yinglung Pass, seemingly having been waiting for the Endministrator's arrival. A new Hongshan character was also teased - a calm and resolute Imperial Guard who once fell into a desperate situation with no way out, whose past, beliefs, and inner journey may be explored in future story content. Rounding out the reveals is a Sarkaz girl who travels through various dreams and pursues stories scattered across the world, set to appear further down the line.
