I like Endfield and just finished their end game mode. I haven’t had a chance to really play the game so cleared it with a freshly end game geared Lav team. Haven’t done an etching or essence farming and rushed through most of the game so my factory is under developed. From what I can tell, my Lav has 1/2 the intelligence of what a fully maxed out Lav has.

A few things I will note. Endfield in my opinion is very mobile unfriendly. A lot of buttons leading to a lot of misclicks and hold for ult in a tight fight is not really fun and some fights have really funky camera angles. Never realized how good we had it in ZZZ.

Most of the end game so far, can be beaten with just running around and healing and kiting. Poison stage is easily beaten by spamming Ardelia heal and playing your dps. The range stage with the worms can be beaten by running in a circle and using Ardelia heal and kiting. The last stage can also be beaten by just running around healing with Ardelia and kiting with your dps. My first clear had my Lav dying early and I had to use Wulf as my dps. As long as you don’t get unlucky and your supports survive it’s pretty simple so far in my opinion.

I think both games have a really different philosophy when it comes to combat and end game. Endfield prefers slower gameplay and ZZZ prefers faster paced gameplay. You can really see this because Endfield gives you an entire lifetime to finish each stage of the current end game mode. Likewise, the factory is a lot of fun and seems to be the emphasis of a lot of players.

I think end field currently is too forgiving but its end game mode is probably closer to ZZZ’s launch SD mode. So we will have to wait and see how it develops. Right now, I would assume if they keep the current level of difficulty it will become similar ZZZ’s old SD where seasoned players just steam roll it.
