Arknights: Endfield Typhoeus Build Guide

Typhoeus has landed in Arknights: Endfield, and she has no intention of fighting from the ground. The 6-star Striker wields an Arts Unit, channels the Nature element, and spends most of her rotation hovering above the battlefield while firing arrows into anything that moves.

If you are planning pulls or already have her in your roster, this guide breaks down her skills, talents, best weapons, gear, and team compositions. For more coverage of the latest Arknights: Endfield news, including banner schedules and patch notes, keep an eye on our hub.

Typhoeus Kit Breakdown

Basic Attack: Wildlands Huntress

Typhoeus performs up to 5 sequences of Nature DMG. As the controlled operator, her Final Strike adds 17 Stagger.

• Dive Attack: A mid-air basic attack that deals Nature DMG to nearby enemies.
• Finisher: Triggered near a Staggered enemy, dealing massive Nature DMG and recovering some SP.

Battle Skill: Piercing Arrows of the Woods

Typhoeus leaps into the air and enters a short Hovering state, gaining 5 Aerial Basic Attacks (ABATK). Each ABATK can target up to 2 enemies and deals Nature DMG.

When an ABATK hits an enemy with Nature Infliction, it consumes 1 stack, grants 1 Sign, and generates additional Ultimate Energy. If Typhoeus holds Hunting Arrows, she consumes 1 and converts the ABATK into a Power Shot.

Power Shot: Applies 1 instance of Nature Burst on hit. If the target's Nature Infliction is consumed, the Nature Burst damage increases to 1.1x.

If Typhoeus is the controlled operator, her 5th ABATK counts as both a Final Strike and a Power Shot, and does not consume Hunting Arrows.

Combo Skill: Rampant Thorns

When Typhoeus reaches max Signs, she transmutes all accumulated Signs into Hunting Arrows and resets her ABATK attempts. Every 2 Signs converts to 1 Hunting Arrow.

She then focuses her Huntress's Gaze and launches a barrage that creates a Barrage Array at the target area. Enemies inside take Nature DMG over time, are slowed, and suffer increased Nature Burst DMG Taken.

Ultimate: Call of Ice Mountain

Typhoeus fires an Imbued Arrow that explodes on impact, dealing massive AoE Nature DMG. She then enters Hovering and resets her ABATK attempts.

For her next 5 ABATKs, hitting an enemy triggers a Hail of Arrows that deals Nature DMG at the target's location. The 5th Hail of Arrows is empowered for higher damage. Casting the Ultimate grants 2 Arrows immediately.

Talents

Talent	Effect
Prey Checklist	When a Nature Burst triggers on an enemy, Typhoeus gains 1 Sign. Damage from attacks empowered by consuming Arrows increases to 1.2/1.4/1.6x. On entering battle, she gains 1/2/4 Signs. Max 4 Arrows and 8 Signs. Multiple simultaneous Nature Bursts count as one instance for Sign gain.
Huntress's Focus	While Hovering, Typhoeus gains a Protective Barrier that reduces DMG Taken by 15/30% and makes her harder to interrupt. The barrier shatters when she takes DMG and cannot reactivate for 30/18s.

Base talents Lithic Murmurs and Life in the Spores grant +20/30% growth rate for rare minerals and fungal matter respectively when assigned to the Growth Chamber.

Best Weapons for Typhoeus

Umbra of Frigid Eventide

Her signature weapon and the most natural fit. It provides Agility and ATK while stacking multiple Arts-related bonuses. Its passive synergizes with her frequent Power Shots, which trigger Arts Bursts consistently. The main caveat is timing: using her Battle Skill too early can push part of the weapon's value outside her main stagger window.

Suffering's End

The strongest alternative. It offers Agility, Arts Intensity, and additional Nature DMG support, with a stacking effect that benefits from her Arts Burst triggers. It becomes more competitive in teams that already provide strong ATK buffs. Its drawback is a slower buildup and short duration, so rotation timing matters even more.

Detonation Unit

A usable fallback if neither preferred weapon is available. Its Main Attribute and Arts Intensity are useful, and her frequent Arts Bursts can activate its passive. Overall performance is noticeably lower than Suffering's End, so treat it as an existing-weapon option rather than a priority target.

Weapon Priority: Umbra of Frigid Eventide > Suffering's End > Detonation Unit

Best Gear for Typhoeus

Deep Rampart Set

The Deep Rampart set is her best-in-slot gear. Its stats align closely with her damage profile, with Arts Intensity playing a key role in improving her Arts Burst damage.

Slot	Piece
Armor	Deep Rampart Armor
Gloves	Deep Rampart Gauntlets
Kit	Deep Rampart Comms
Kit	LYNX Slab

The set bonus adds further Arts-focused damage, giving her a strong combination of offensive stats rather than relying on a single multiplier. The main consideration is duration: some bonuses need to build up and do not last especially long, so they may not carry perfectly into every stagger window. Even so, the overall value keeps it at the top.

Best Team Comps for Typhoeus

Typhoeus benefits most from teammates who amplify her damage and help her get more value from Power Shots and Arts Burst triggers. The teams below are strong options rather than a strict ranking.

Team 1: Typhoeus + Perlica + Arcane + Liino

A strong all-around composition. Liino is especially useful because her ATK support complements Typhoeus's Arts-focused scaling. Perlica and Arcane add team utility, letting Typhoeus spend more of the rotation preparing and executing her own damage.

Team 2: Typhoeus + Ardelia + Arcane + Liino

Ardelia provides an alternative support option while keeping the Arcane and Liino core. This setup suits players who want to build around consistent team buffs rather than relying entirely on Typhoeus's own kit. It performs well through longer rotations and her larger damage windows.

Team 3: Typhoeus + Perlica + Gilberta + Liino

This version swaps Arcane for Gilberta while retaining Perlica and Liino. It continues to give Typhoeus strong offensive support without requiring the exact same structure as Team 1. A good alternative for players who have Gilberta available.

Team Building Tips

Prioritize teammates that improve her offensive scaling or help her reach important damage windows more consistently. Since her damage benefits from setup before major burst periods, a coordinated rotation will generally outperform simply stacking independent damage dealers.

FAQ

Is Typhoeus a must-pull?

Her kit is self-contained and rewards investment, but whether she is a must-pull depends on your roster and how much you value a Nature Arts Striker. Not stated in official materials regarding future banner value.

Does she need her signature weapon?

No. Suffering's End is a strong alternative, and Detonation Unit is usable if you lack both. Her signature is the best fit but not strictly required.

What is her best team?

Team 1 and Team 2 are the most well-rounded options. The best choice depends on which supports you have built.

Are her Potentials worth chasing?

Not stated in official materials. Potential recommendations will be updated once the update releases and more information is available.

Conclusion

Typhoeus is a high-mobility Arts Striker who turns Hovering into a damage engine. Her loop of Aerial Basic Attacks, Signs, Hunting Arrows, and Nature Burst gives her a clear identity, and her best weapons and gear reinforce that playstyle without demanding a complete roster overhaul.

For now, the confirmed information covers her core combat mechanics. Weapon, Potential, and exact leveling priorities will be expanded once the Dreamscape of Wind and Snow update goes live.
