Arknights: Endfield Si Build Guide: Skills, Weapons, Gear Sets And Teams

Si, a 6-star Cryo Supporter, arrived on October 15, 2026 with the Version 1.6 “Sanctuary of Ink” update. This guide collects the numbers published so far: her skills, the weapons ranked for her, the two main gear builds with their stats, stat priorities, example teams and her banner dates. Because she just launched, some sources are still preliminary, and those are marked.

Skills

Skill type Name What it does

Numbers Published By EndfieldHub

Skill Value
Fully Envisioned (combo) damage 750% ATK, plus 100% per Infliction stack consumed, up to 4 stacks
Fully Envisioned cooldown 15 seconds
Ultimate (Giant Ink Lung) damage 500%
Ultimate energy cost 80
Energy returned per Ink Lung 10
Team Amp from each cast Up to 36% Cryo and Heat Amp for 12 seconds
Yinglung’s Edge stacks Maximum 3; three team battle skills between Ink Lungs fill them

Mechanics

Mechanic Detail
Artful Intent Records part of the damage dealt to the marked target and releases it as fixed AoE damage when the effect ends
Inksoul A stationary target that redirects damage and effects to the linked enemy, useful against bosses that move or teleport
Ultimate return Ink Lung energy return is the main limit on how often the Ultimate comes back

Weapons

Rank Weapon Notes
1 Jade Vessel (6-star Greatsword, signature) Up to +44.8% ATK, up to +70% next combo damage after her Ultimate, up to +21% damage taken on the target she Immobilizes
2 Khravengger Cryo DMG lines; its Strength line is only secondary for her
3 Long Heritage (6-star Greatsword) Free from the 1.6 Protocol Pass; has a team Arts DMG line that is not in the damage calculator, and it is unconfirmed whether her Amp counts for it

Other 5-star or 6-star Greatswords depend on their effects. One guide advises against heavy investment in multiple weapons before you settle on a team.

Gear Builds

Main Build: Type 50 Yinglung

Piece Stats
Type 50 Yinglung Soft Armor Intellect 87, Strength 58, Combo Skill DMG +20.7%, Bonus ATK +15%

Ink Lung Damage Test (EndfieldHub)

Build Ink Lung damage
Type 50 Yinglung main build 346,990
Eternal Xiranite support build 268,556
Pre-1.6 Eternal Xiranite build 159,842

Test conditions: Jade Vessel, skill rank 9, 3 Edge stacks, Amp off, level 90, talents maxed, Potential 0, no enemy DEF, crit-weighted expected damage.

Crafting Cost

Item Cost
Each 1.6 piece 360 Wuling Stock Bills and 50 Pyrrolite Components
Main build (4 crafts, Beacon twice) 1,440 Stock Bills and 200 Pyrrolite Components
Craft first Channeling Gloves, since both builds use them

Stat Priority

Priority EndfieldHub TopUpLive (provisional)
1 Intellect Intellect and compatible offensive stats
2 Strength Damage bonuses that boost the combo skill
3 Combo Skill DMG Cryo or Heat DMG and infliction value
4 Ultimate Gain Efficiency (Amp builds only) Cooldown reduction, only if testing shows more combos per rotation

TopUpLive also says to avoid stacking cooldown reduction or Arts Intensity until her final kit is tested. Pulser Labs gear is listed as lower priority because Solidification requirements may disrupt combo triggers.

Skill Upgrade Order

Order Skill Source
1 Combo skill TopUpLive (provisional)
2 Ultimate TopUpLive
3 Battle skill TopUpLive
4 Basic attack TopUpLive

LDShop lists skill priority and potentials as “TBD,” and EndfieldHub does not list potentials.

Example Teams

Source Team Type
LDShop Laevatain, Si, Camille, Arcane Heat
LDShop Laevatain, Si, Wulfgard, Akekuri Heat
LDShop Yvonne, Si, Arcane, Tangtang Cryo
LDShop Last Rite, Si, Arcane, Tangtang Cryo
TopUpLive Si, Xaihi, Arcane, Last Rite Cryo, Si in slot 1
TopUpLive Laevatain (slot 1), Si, Wulfgard, Ardelia Heat
TopUpLive Yvonne, Si, Xaihi, Tangtang Cryo; test slot 1 after release
EndfieldHub Si in slot 1 with Xaihi and Arcane, or behind a slot 1 Laevatain Cryo or Heat
EndfieldHub Laevatain, Wulfgard, Akekuri (Eternal Xiranite build) Heat

EndfieldHub notes that Xaihi, Ardelia, Arcane and Gilberta usually run Eternal Xiranite, so the main Yinglung build is the default on most Cryo teams.

Rotation

No source gives a full rotation. The core loop described is:

  1. Apply infliction with the battle skill.
  2. Consume it to trigger the combo skill.
  3. Cast the Ultimate to shorten the first-slot operator’s combo cooldown.

Positioning in the team is the key variable, and three team battle skills between Ink Lungs fill the Yinglung’s Edge stacks.

Source Differences

Point Detail
Skill names Brushwork Realm vs Brushstroke Realm; “No One Spoils the Fun” vs “Nobody Spoils the Fun”
Gear data LDShop tables are placeholders; TopUpLive says its gear stats are unconfirmed and written before 1.6 went live; EndfieldHub gives final stats
Fourth team slot Arcane, Last Rite, Tangtang, Akekuri and Ardelia each appear in different guides
Icy Veins Its operator build page does not include Si
