A familiar face for longtime fans and an operator known for her unmatched Heat DMG output, Laevatain is a top priority for a large portion of the Arknights Endfield playerbase.

About Laevatain

A Striker type, Laevatain has in her enhanced Battle Skill and Ultimate her most devastating weapons, with the latter seeing her summon Sviga Lævi to momentarily gain access to an enhanced moveset, increased Heat DMG, and the ability to apply Heat Infliction via her basic attacks.

As you can guess, the infliction is also a cornerstone here. She can absorb it from nearby enemies and convert it into Melting Flame stacks, also acquirable via her regular Battle and Combo Skills. Once at four stacks, Laevatain becomes able to ignore 20% of the Heat Resistance of targets for 20 seconds, thus giving you more than enough time to let it rip with her Ultimate or go for a guaranteed AOE Combustion fest.

Best Laevatain gear in Arknights Endfield

Thanks to her enhanced Battle Skill's Combustion effect, we consider Hot Work to be the best gear set for Laevatain in Arknights Endfield. When equipped, its three-piece effect will boost her Arts Intensity by 30 and allow her to get a 50% Heat DMG increase after triggering either Combustion or Corrosion. Regarding the individual pieces, pair the Hot Work Gauntlets and a couple of Pyrometers with the Tide Fall Light Armor. Why? Apart from boosting her primary and secondary stats, the chest piece comes with an 12.3% Ultimate Gain Efficiency bonus, which I consider to be a must. Here's an overview of the stats provided by our recommended loadout:

Tide Fall Light Armor: +56 Defense, +87 Intellect, +58 Strength, and +12.8% Ultimate Gain Efficiency.
Hot Work Gauntlets: +42 Defense, +65 Intellect, +43 Strength, and +19.2% Heat/Nature DMG
Hot Work Pyrometer x2: +21 Defense, +41 Intellect, and +41.4% Battle Skill DMG Bonus each

Best Laevatain teams

Image via Hypergryph As Laevatain's damage relies heavily on Heat Infliction, her best team features Wulfgard as its Caster/secondary damage dealer. Ardelia is then its healer, given her ability to apply both Nature Infliction and Arts Susceptibility at quick intervals. To close out, we have Antal as both the team's Heat buffer and another source of Heat Susceptibility. You can check out a more in-depth overview of why we chose each operator and how they synergize below:

Wulfgard: The best sub-DPS for Laevatain and her best partner overall. Allows her to quickly farm four Melting Flame stacks following his easy-to-trigger and signature Battle + Combo Skill one-two.
Ardelia: Our main support. Offers Arts Susceptibility, all while being able to apply massive amounts of Nature Infliction and healing the whole party multiple times per rotation.
Antal: An all-rounder support, capable of enabling Corrosion/Combustion, buffing the team's Heat DMG, and applying Heat Susceptibility.

Thankfully, given the way all players can claim a free Ardelia as a login bonus reward, Wulfgard as part of the main story, and multiple copies of Antal via regular pulls, the team above is also Laevatain's best F2P squad. If you want, using Akekuri or Gilberta in Antal's place can also work, so don't forget to try it out.
