Best Gear Sets by Operator

The optimal gear set for every Arknights: Endfield operator. Each gear set gives one flat Bonus Stat plus a conditional Set Effect at 3 pieces, but you do not always run a full set. Many carries mix pieces from two sets to stack two strong bonus stats instead. Below, every set lists the operators it fits best, followed by a per-operator view of the exact loadout to build.

Gear stats and icons come from the artificing planner; for the full sortable table of every piece and its source, see the gear database. For upgrade priority see the gearing priority guide, and for weapon plus gear builds per operator see operator builds. Building an endgame squad? Use these sets to gear your carries for Contingency Contract.

How Gear Sets Work in Arknights: Endfield

Every operator equips four gear pieces: one Body piece, one pair of Gloves, and two Kits. Any piece can come from any set, so your four slots do not have to belong to a single set.

Each T4 gear set gives two things. A Bonus Stat sits on every piece and is always active (for example Bonekrusha grants ATK +15%). A conditional Set Effect only switches on once you equip three pieces of that set. There is a single 3-piece tier, not the 2-piece and 4-piece tiers some other games use.

Because you hold four slots, the standard optimal shape is a 3+1 split: three pieces of your main set to switch on its Set Effect, plus one off-piece from a second set for its Bonus Stat. A full four-piece set only adds a fourth Bonus Stat, never a second Set Effect, so 3+1 usually wins unless that fourth piece happens to carry the exact stat the operator scales on. A few kits deliberately run 2+2 or four single-set pieces when two Bonus Stats matter more than any Set Effect.

Once the pieces are chosen, their substats are pushed further through artificing, using the Good Match rule to raise enhancement success rates. See the gearing priority guide for the order to invest in weapons, gear, and essences.

Gear Sets and Who Runs Them

Every named gear set with its Bonus Stat, Set Effect, and the operators whose kit it fits best. A 3-pc tag means the operator runs the full set; a mix tag means they only use some pieces alongside another set.

Best Gear Sets by Role

Physical DPS and carries

Attacking carries want raw ATK and burst. Bonekrusha (ATK +15%, battle-skill burst) and Æthertech (ATK +8%, Physical DMG after Vulnerability) are the staples, with MI Securityfor crit-scaling units and Type 50 Yinglung for combo-driven kits. Stagger specialists lean on Swordmancer and Grizzled Edge.

Supports and enablers

Team engines prioritise buffs over personal damage. Eternal Xiranite (team DMG after applying a debuff) is the most-equipped set on this page, and Frontiers (Combo Skill cooldown reduction plus team DMG on SP recovery) suits fast-cycling supports.

Healers and tanks

Sustain units take LYNX (HP Treatment Efficiency plus a team-wide damage-reduction effect on heal), which turns healing into a defensive team buff.

Elemental reaction carries

Arts and reaction damage scales off Arts Intensity. Hot Workpowers Heat and Nature (Combustion, Corrosion), Pulser Labspowers Electric and Cryo (Electrification, Solidification), and Tide Surge and Xiranflowreward stacked Arts Inflictions.

How We Choose Each Operator’s Gear

Every loadout above is built from community-tested operator builds, then cross-checked against each set’s Bonus Stat and Set Effect text and the operator’s role, element, and kit. Set bonuses come from the game-data dump; gear stats and icons come from the artificing planner dataset.

We show whatever the community actually runs, whether that is a clean 3-piece set or a mixed 3+1 or 2+2 build. The logic is simple: damage carries favour ATK, crit, and stagger sets; enablers and healers favour team-buff and treatment sets; and elemental reaction carries favour Arts Intensity sets. Where a curated note is thin, the card falls back to a plain description of the set composition rather than inventing a reason.

Recommendations shift as the meta evolves and new operators arrive, so this page is updated regularly. For the full sortable table of every piece with its stats and drop sources, see the gear database; for per-operator weapon plus gear builds, see operator builds.

Gear Sets FAQ

How many gear pieces can an operator equip in Arknights: Endfield?

Four. Each operator equips one Body piece, one pair of Gloves, and two Kits. Every piece can come from any set, so a loadout can pull pieces from more than one set at once.

Do you need a full 3-piece gear set in Arknights: Endfield?

No. A gear set only ever needs 3 pieces for its Set Effect, but many operators run a mixed loadout that combines pieces from two different sets. Mixing trades a second Set Effect for an extra strong Bonus Stat, which is often the higher-value choice for damage carries.

Is a 3+1 gear split better than a full 4-piece set?

Usually yes. A set’s conditional Set Effect unlocks at 3 pieces, and a 4th piece of the same set only adds another flat Bonus Stat, never a second Set Effect. Running 3 pieces of your main set plus 1 off-piece from a second set often gives a more useful Bonus Stat, unless the main set’s stat is exactly what the operator scales on (then a 4-piece set is fine).

What is the best all-round gear set in Endfield?

Eternal Xiranite is the most widely used set on this page, fitting more operators than any other because its team-wide damage buff suits supports and enablers. For physical damage carries, Bonekrusha and Æthertech are the go-to attacking sets.

How is the best gear for each operator decided here?

Each loadout is built from community-tested operator builds, then matched to the set bonus text and the operator role, element, and kit. Full sets and mixed builds are both shown, with the reason each set fits the operator.

Where can I see the full stats and sources for each gear piece?

The full sortable table of every gear piece, with stats and acquisition sources, is on the gear database. This page focuses on which sets to run and on whom.

Set bonuses are extracted from the game-data dump; loadouts are built from community-tested operator builds and matched to each operator's role, element, and kit. Updated 2026. Talos Hub is a fan-made resource, not affiliated with Hypergryph or Yostar.
