Weapons Database

Each row is one weapon at maximum level and breakthrough, pulled from Arknights: Endfield's weapons data table. The numbers shown — Base ATK, Substat, Secondary Substat — match the level-max tooltip you see in-game after you fully break the weapon through to its final stage. Last refresh date sits in the header; we re-publish on every patch and after any rebalance of weapon stats or signature passives.

Filter by weapon Type to narrow to options compatible with a specific operator, by Rarity to compare same-tier picks, or by Essence to find an elemental matchup against a specific boss. Hover any Weapon Skill entry to read the passive description — the active skill is usually the single biggest factor in choosing between two weapons of equivalent stats. Signature pairings are flagged in their own column so you can plan banner pulls around the operators you have already invested in.

Weapon type taxonomy

• Sword — one-handed melee with balanced reach, attack speed, and stagger contribution. Most versatile melee class; pairs with mid-range physical DPS such as Wulfgard and the early-game starter operators.
• Greatsword — two-handed heavy melee with high stagger output per hit and the slowest attack chains. Designed for stagger-focused DPS and breakpoint roles against bosses with large resilience bars.
• Polearm — mid-range reach with sweep arcs that hit multiple enemies on the same swing. Best on crowd-control DPS and operators that build damage through stack mechanics.
• Handcannon — ranged firearm class with high single-target damage and crit emphasis. Pairs with marksman-style operators like Yvonne and Pogranichnik who win on positioning, not face-tanking.
• Arts Unit — ranged Arts caster armament for INT-scaling operators such as Perlica and Arclight. Carries the bulk of skill damage in elemental burst rotations.

Essence and elemental damage

A weapon's Essence column shows the elemental damage type the weapon carries. Some weapons convert a portion of the wielder's damage into Heat, Cryo, Electric, or Nature; others have no Essence and deal pure typeless damage. Matching a weapon's Essence to the boss's resistance profile is one of the largest single damage swings in Endfield combat — a Heat-Essence Greatsword against a fire-vulnerable Cinder Arsenal boss can add 20–30% effective damage versus a no-Essence equivalent. Operators with their own elemental kit usually stack with the weapon Essence rather than overwriting it; check the Weapon Skill description before assuming.

Substats are deterministic, not random

Unlike weapon systems in many other gacha titles, Endfield substats are fixed per weapon — every copy of the same weapon rolls the same Substat and Secondary Substat at the same values. There is no "rolling for a god roll." This makes weapon choice a clean comparison: read the Substat columns in the table and pick what your operator needs. Common substat rolls include ATK% for high-base-ATK operators, Crit Damage for builds with an existing Crit Rate baseline, Physical or elemental damage bonuses for element-locked DPS, and USGS (Ultimate Skill Generation Speed) for ult-cycling support roles.

Signature weapons and how much they actually matter

A Signature weapon is one designed around a specific operator's kit, carrying a passive that synergises with that operator's skill rotation, element, or stat scaling. Any operator of the correct weapon Type can equip a Signature weapon, but only the signature operator receives the full passive bonus — other operators get only the raw stats. The general investment rule of thumb across the community: a 6★ operator without a signature weapon performs at roughly 75–85% of a fully kitted build, and signature weapons matter most for competitive Cinder Arsenal timer pushes. For most players, the pulling priority order is operator first, then 6★ generic weapon, then signature.
