Ultimate Pogranichnik Build Guide for Arknights Endfield

Pogranichnik stands out as one of the premier characters for Physical teams in the version 1.0 of Arknights Endfield. As a Vanguard, he excels in every essential aspect needed for gameplay, including SP recovery, damage output, and the commanding presence associated with an experienced military leader. However, to fully optimize Pogranichnik’s potential, equipping him with the right gear is crucial. This guide will explore recommended items for Pogranichnik, highlighting both initial options and top-tier equipment for later stages of the game.

Top Weapons for Border Guard in Endfield

Arknights Endfield Never Rest Sword — The Never Rest Sword for Arknights Endfield

Weapon	Description
Best in Slot	Never Rest	This weapon enhances SP recovery for the wielder and teammates, resulting in increased Physical damage output.
5-Star Alternative	Thermite Cutter	When this weapon is used, it boosts the entire team’s attack when the wielder recovers SP or grants Link.

The Never Rest sword is a phenomenal choice for any Physical Vanguard, especially those who depend heavily on Will as their scaling factor. As Pogranichnik consistently restores SP for his teammates, equipping him with Never Rest allows him to activate its passive efficiently. Since Pogranichnik’s optimal teams focus primarily on Physical damage, this weapon is an excellent fit.

On the other hand, the Thermite Cutter is a viable 5-star alternative if you lack Never Rest. This weapon is designed to enhance the team’s overall attack power, making it beneficial for characters who may deal Arts damage alongside inflicting Physical statuses.

For players who don’t have access to these top-tier options, seek out weapons that enhance Will or provide team-wide bonuses. Be cautious, however, to avoid equipping weapons that boost Arts damage, as Pogranichnik is a dedicated Physical damage dealer.

Optimal Gear Sets for Border Guards in Endfield

Arknights Endfield Catastrophe Set — The Catastrophe Set for Arknights Endfield

Set	Effect
Frontiers Set (Gold)	Increases Combo Skill cooldown rates and grants bonus damage when the wearer recovers SP with a skill.
Catastrophe Set (Purple)	Enhances Ultimate Gain Efficiency. The first Battle Skill used in combat recovers 50 SP.

Gear Templates become accessible as you elevate your Authority level, with Gold-rarity sets like the Frontiers Set obtainable through various crates in Wuling.

Like Never Rest, the Frontiers Set is engineered to amplify the entire team’s damage when the user recoups SP via a skill. Utilizing these two in tandem will enable Pogranichnik to significantly elevate the team’s DPS, particularly during moments when his Fervent Morale buff is in effect.

If Gold gear crafting is yet to begin, the Catastrophe Set presents itself as a suitable alternative. While it may not directly enhance your team’s damage potential, it streamlines the initial rotation during encounters and minimizes downtime on Pogranichnik’s Ultimate. When the Battle Skill and Combo Skill are executed together on an enemy with four Vulnerable stacks, the SP restoration amounts to 48; however, with the Catastrophe Set, this can effectively surge to 98 SP. This immediate activation allows Fervent Morale to benefit the entire team with increased Physical and Arts damage.
