What to know
- You are guaranteed multiple free 6★ characters and weapons without spending real money
- Beginner banners, login events, and Authority rewards do most of the work
- Weapon selector boxes are more important than they first appear
- Smart timing matters more than rushing summons
In Arknights: Endfield, free-to-play progression is far more generous than it looks on the surface. While premium banners dominate attention, the game quietly hands out guaranteed 6★ characters and weapons through beginner systems, long-term milestones, and fixed selectors.
If you understand how these systems interact, you can build a competitive roster without wasting pulls or resources. This guide breaks down every free 6★ character and weapon available in version 1.0, how long each takes to earn, and how to prioritize them based on real team value rather than rarity alone.
Arknights Endfield all free 6-star rewards
| Reward type | What you get | Requirement | Time investment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner banner | Guaranteed 6★ character | 40 beginner summons | ~1–2 hours |
| Beginner banner | 6★ weapon selector | 40 beginner summons | ~1–2 hours |
| Login event | Adela (6★ character) | 14-day login | 14 days |
| Pity system | Guaranteed 6★ character | 80 summons | Ongoing |
| Selector ticket | Choose standard 6★ | 300 standard summons | Mid–late game |
| Authority reward | 6★ weapon selector | Authority Level 45 | Mid-game |
| Weapon arsenal | 6★ weapons | Tickets or gadgets | Gradual |
The beginner banner is the fastest and most reliable way to secure your first 6★ unit.
How it works
- The banner guarantees a 6★ character within 40 pulls
- These pulls are discounted and exclusive to new accounts
- Most players reach this threshold within 1–2 hours of gameplay
Once you hit the guarantee, there is still a small chance (roughly 9%) to obtain a second 6★ before the banner expires, making this banner extremely efficient.
Why you should not skip it
Unlike limited banners, beginner banners compress value into a short window. Even if you plan to reroll, completing this banner first ensures you do not lose guaranteed value.
How rerolling adds extra free 6★ characters
Rerolling is optional, but it significantly increases your free 6★ count if you are willing to invest time.
Reroll expectations
| Reroll goal | Average time |
|---|---|
| Extra standard 6★ | 3–3.5 hours |
| Limited banner 6★ | 15–18 hours |
When rerolling makes sense
Rerolling is most efficient if:
- You want a specific standard 6★ early
- You are targeting a limited banner without spending
- You plan to min-max a free-to-play account
If you prefer steady progression, rerolling is not mandatory.
How the pity system guarantees free 6★ characters over time
The global pity system applies to both standard and limited banners.
Pity mechanics explained
- Hard pity triggers at 80 summons
- Soft pity increases odds around 65–75 summons
- Pity carries over within the same banner type
Even without spending, consistent play eventually guarantees additional 6★ characters simply by using earned currency.
How the 6★ selector ticket works (and when to use it)
After 300 summons on the standard banner, you receive a 6★ selector ticket.
What the selector allows
- Choose any one of the five standard 6★ characters
- No randomness involved
- Permanent account upgrade
Why this is a mid-to-late game reward
Reaching 300 summons takes time, but this ticket is one of the most powerful tools for fixing roster gaps. You should never rush the choice—wait until you know what your account lacks.
How to get Ardelia for free from the login event
Ardelia is the only guaranteed free 6★ character tied to a login event.
Login requirements
- Log in for 14 total days
- Days do not need to be consecutive
- No gameplay difficulty involved
Why Adela is so valuable
Adela combines:
- Reliable healing
- Damage amplification
- Corrosion debuffs
She fits into nearly every team archetype and remains useful well into endgame content.
How free 6★ weapons are distributed in Endfield
Weapons matter just as much as characters, and Endfield provides multiple guaranteed selectors.
How the beginner weapon selector box works
Completing 40 beginner summons also grants your first 6★ weapon selector box.
What’s inside
| Weapon type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Arts unit | Niche but strong |
| Greatsword (x2) | One excels with Last Light |
| Sword (Thermo Cutter) | High priority |
| Polearm | Low priority |
How to choose the best weapon from selector box 1
Best overall pick: Thermo Cutter (Sword)
Thermo Cutter stands out because:
- It boosts team-wide damage
- Works exceptionally well with Akari
- Remains relevant in mid and late game
- Can temporarily support Libertine early
Situational picks
- Greatsword if you already own Last Light
- Arts unit only if you are committed to Arts DPS teams
Polearms are generally not recommended due to limited synergy.
How to unlock the second free 6★ weapon selector
The second selector box unlocks at Authority Level 45.
What’s inside
| Weapon | Primary value |
|---|---|
| White Knight Nova (Sword) | Top-tier |
| Detonation Unit (Arts) | High utility |
| Hand Cannon (Wedge) | Niche |
| Polearm | Low priority |
| Greatsword | Low priority |
How to choose the best weapon from selector box 2
Best pick for most players: White Knight Nova
White Knight Nova is considered the best free-to-play sword for Libertine, enhancing her combustion damage and scaling extremely well into late game.
Strong alternative: Detonation Unit
If you use Ento, Detonation Unit dramatically increases enemy damage taken, making it one of the strongest support-oriented Arts weapons available for free.
How the weapon arsenal ticket system supplements free weapons
Beyond selectors, the weapon arsenal allows additional access to 6★ weapons.
Two acquisition paths
| Method | Cost | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Direct purchase | Expensive | Early power spike |
| Weapon gadgets | Cheaper long-term | Passive progress |
Weapon gadgets are slower but can even yield limited banner weapons, making them ideal for patient players.
Ranking free standard 6★ characters by priority
| Rank | Character | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adela | Healing, buffs, debuffs |
| 2 | Last Light | High scaling DPS |
| 3 | Ember | Tanky sustain |
| 4 | Progenitor | Physical SP battery |
| 5 | Leafing | Lower future value |
Adela remains the most universally useful, while Last Light offers the highest offensive ceiling.
How to plan your free 6★ progression efficiently
The biggest mistake players make is claiming selectors too early.
Smart progression tips
- Finish beginner banners first
- Wait on selector tickets until your roster stabilizes
- Match weapon choices to characters you already own
- Treat Authority Level 45 as a milestone, not a rush target
Free rewards compound over time if you let systems work together.
