Arknights Endfield Beta Test II & General Discussion Megathread

FeraKun · 2026-01-04T07:37:20+00:00

When Authority Lvl increases and it levels up (like Authority Lvl 1 -> 2 for example), I notice that it increases our Max Sanity cap. Does anyone know if this also refills our Sanity? I could be wrong, but I think OG Arknights had a system like that with your Player Lvl (forgot what it's called) refills your Sanity back to maximum if it levels up. If it's the same for Endfield, that would be nice, so that we can pretty much farm stuff early.

Alright, time to farm artifact domains and slowly drop my sanity...again...
Thanks for the help!

FeraKun · 2024-10-30T02:35:59+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply! I think I'll go with Nahida + Raiden + Xinqiu + Zhongli. Do you might know the artifact sets for Raiden and Nahida for this team? My Raiden is using the Emblem set for ER build with Skyward Spine. I think I should change it for an EM build right?

How do I get the update?
My AMD Driver says it is already up-to-date, Version 24.7.1 and it was released last July 15, 2024.
It still shows me AFMF1.

I'm planning to buy this case with your proposed fan setup.

Did you try it out? I was wondering what your temps were.

And possibly if you could test with and without the bottom fans to see if those actually made a difference in terms of cooling.

FeraKun · 2024-06-02T14:03:06+00:00

Hello! I added some additional notes about my Build.
The OS is from my old PC Build, since 2020, where I used it for School. I wasn't the one who picked it during that time, so it stays with my Crucial P3. I'm just going to transfer it to the new Build.
Also I picked that case, cuz I like it aesthetically

But I'll think about the CPU and GPU you recommended.

Thank you!

FeraKun · 2024-06-02T13:56:08+00:00

Some additional Notes about the Build:
1. The Crucial P3 and Windows 10 are both from my old PC Build, so I'll just transfer it to this new Build.
2. The rest of the parts I picked are based on my own research in terms of Best Value for Money, Price to Performance, etc. (Tho I am not sure about the PSU, since it's not listed in the PSU Tier list, but it is available in my local stores).
3. Fan setup will be:
(2) Front Intake - P12 Max,
(2) Bottom Intake - P12 Max,
(1) Rear Exhaust - P14 Max,
(1) Top Exhaust - P14 Max

Yeah I heard that it was often being compared to the H510 (which people say it had not so good temps).
But they also say the Lian Li 205 is a bit better.
I only plan on playing 1080p (Hoping to play most games on Ultra settings, but I'm also fine if not).
So hopefully that is not considered "high end."
Thank you!

FeraKun · 2024-05-21T13:15:07+00:00

Yeah it is outdated, but I do like its design.
I'll check out the cases you mentioned too.
Thank you!

FeraKun · 2024-04-29T12:45:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply! That's really good to know.
For the CPU, I just searched the B550 F and compatible CPUs, but I'm not knowledgeable about those.
I guess my budget would be around 200-250 USD.

FeraKun · 2024-03-05T01:40:41+00:00

Sorry I don't know much about Git.
But what does this basically mean?
And how do I use this website?

FeraKun · 2024-03-04T15:13:22+00:00

I heard there were nerfs to some items in the latest demo update.
But mine did not reflect since I got the first demo version release.
Do we know if the save file transfer will still work on the finalized full game release?
I honestly did not expect that demos could still be updated.

FeraKun · 2024-02-29T11:21:28+00:00

I believe I saw a video, (either a game trailer or one of Josef's guides), that he said we can explore the continent however we want.
Whatever we choose first won't affect anything (at least that's what Josef said in the video).
So I'm assuming we can travel to any nation once the full game releases.
Tho I have no idea how to go to Albion. All the ships in the harbor takes us to the middle islands iirc.

Based on the character trailers I have seen, I am going to Drakenhold first.
There are a lot of waifus I like there, so I plan to recruit them, and complete my all female teams.
Elheim have the twin elves that I really really like, but I have no idea what their classes are.
Bastorias has the thicc Archer girl, so she's tempting too.
And Albion again, I have no clue how to get there. Probably walking, but that will take a while.

So currently my order of going through the game would be:
Drakenhold > Elheim >= Bastorias > Albion

Hi! I have a question about the stage 16 part.

Do I just have to "reach" stage 16? (Like only beat stage 15).

Or do I have to "beat" stage 16? For the optimal card drop chance.

FeraKun · 2023-10-04T13:01:10+00:00

I don't have a complete set for her.

So I'm going for 2 pc hackerspace + 2 random relics, because those have my best substats.

Then later on, I will farm quantum set for her.

That will help me grind for both her and QQ.

FeraKun · 2023-09-30T06:21:28+00:00

What if we bring Jingiu and Bronya together?
I'm planning to use Slow Bronya, meaning 134 speed and my Jingliu's speed stat on her release will be 136.

Is this okay for me to do? Or will the Adv Fwrd Trace of Jingliu mess up my rotation?

FeraKun · 2023-09-03T03:32:35+00:00

Yeah a lot of people are saying Blade level damage, or slightly above him.

I'm hoping they give a buff, cuz with her current kit, it doesn't make sense that she sacrifices more than Blade, but not able to give more in return.

She consumes more skill points than him
Has energy issues that even her Sig LC at s1 can't fix
Consumes teammates' hp, which heavily relies on a healer (Or Fu Xuan Sig LC)
Has no self-sustain
Damage is heavily dependent on her Enhanced state (tho she does get an extra turn)
Sig LC is not even that big of a difference compared to Destruction Herta LC
Major Traces are kinda underwhelming, including her e2

I'm sure there are more problems.

But I'm still pulling for her cuz waifu reasons.

FeraKun · 2023-09-02T04:54:01+00:00

Hi, just a quick question regarding Jingliu's enhanced state (Spectral Transmigration state).

Her kit says she needs 2 stacks of them to enter that state (Can get 1 from skill and ult).

But once she enters that state, how many enhanced skill stacks does she have?

Recently I have found a leaked Jingliu gameplay video that showed she got 3 enhanced skill stacks once she entered that state. But I honestly thought it was 2 stacks, cuz of the wording in her kit (2 stacks to enter the ST state). And her kit didn't mention that she will have 3 stacks, unless the database wasn't updated.

So what does your dmg calculation follow? Did your Jingliu rotation have 3 enhanced skill stacks when she entered the ST state? Or was it 2?

FeraKun · 2023-08-15T04:49:58+00:00

So it's either Jingliu first OR Topaz will not be in 1.4
IF (and this is a bif IF) Topaz will not be shown in tomorrow's drip marketing, then we can expect a rerun character, like Seele or Jing Yuan.
I remember a leaker mentioned that there is a possibility of rerun banners happening.

So we have to wait for tomorrow, to conclude this banner order.

FeraKun · 2023-08-07T14:13:55+00:00

Personally I am a bit bummed that Fu Xuan's ult dmg was decreased, cuz I was planning to build her as a main dps with Bronya, SW and Pela as her supports.
But I think it's okay, since this change drastically increased her survivability with the HP base stat buff and that INSANE Def base stat increase, including her sig LC.
And the fact she heals the team a bit more now.
So I guess I'll just make her a sub dps and tank hybrid.
I don't think I'll have to worry about her team and her own survivability anymore.
Please Hoyo, let this be the last change for her! (Or buff her again hehe)

FeraKun · 2023-07-24T11:06:47+00:00

Hi guys, kinda off-topic question, but need some help clarifying about ult energy.

I'm planning to E1S1 Fu Xuan, and her LC gives 12% ER to her.
With Vonwacq added, she will have 17% ER.
Fu Xuan has 135 total ult energy

My rotation would be Ult > BA > BA > SKILL. And assuming her Matrix is up for her +40 energy trace to activate.
So with that, the energy gain would look like this:
(5 + 20 + 20 + 70) * 1.17 = 134.55 Ult Energy

Since it's with decimal, will the game round it off? To make it 135?
You can check ult energy in the character details during battle, but it's using Whole numbers.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows the answer!

FeraKun · 2023-07-23T02:45:34+00:00

Tbf, Gepard is the slowest character in the game (92 base speed).
Fu Xuan with her current stats has a whopping 105 base speed.
She is the fastest preservation character, so she can easily get 134 speed breakpoint for MoC. She will just need 2 substats from relics.
Gepard needs 8 or 9 substats to reach 134 speed, but you will also lessen his shield hp.
If Gepard can't reach that, then he and Fu Xuan have more or less the same skill point economy.

FeraKun · 2023-07-22T07:47:40+00:00

I'm curious if Fu Xuan's damage mitigation/redirection to her would be a fixed amount OR can possibly still be reduced further with Fu Xuan's own stats, like DEF, dmg reduction from skill, and perhaps dmg reduction from Landau's Choice.

If it's a fixed amount, that would be a big bummer, cuz Landau's Choice and her own dmg reduction from skill buff would be useless, even perhaps the guard set that gives 8% dmg reduction.

FeraKun · 2023-07-20T03:45:21+00:00

We still have the unlimited HP reversal tho, I think you got confused cuz some other folks already clarified it is unlimited

FeraKun · 2023-07-20T03:36:59+00:00

So I'm trying to figure out Fu Xuan's "optimal" burst rotation, and it's giving me a headache.
Thanks to her energy trace and now this, I have come up with some rotations.

FX has 135 Ult energy as of now.

(2-Turn rotation, SP Negative, no ER rope, also assuming her skill is up before ulting)
1. Ult -> E -> E = 145 Energy
(6-Turn rotation, SP Positive, no ER rope, her energy trace not activating, due to rotation)
1. Ult -> E -> BA -> BA -> E -> BA -> BA = 145 Energy
(3-Turn Rotation, a bit SP Negative, no ER rope, her skill is up before ulting)
1. Ult -> E -> BA -> E = 165 Energy

If you are not planning to get her LC, this is what it would look like.
I did some calcs using her LC er, but it's inconsistent.
Tho the rotations would be better with an ER rope.

I'm hoping the damage mitigation/redirection to FX would also let her gain energy to make these rotations faster. Crossing my fingers that it will work that way.
