Play for Free and Dominate! The Complete Guide to the Ultimate Early-Game Physical Team in Endfield

【Introduction: Why Choose a Physical Team?】
In the early stages of Arknights: Endfield's global launch, resources are extremely tight. Physical teams stand out as the top choice for new players thanks to three key advantages:
Simple Mechanics: Relies on straightforward direct damage, not complex elemental reactions.
Accessible Characters: Core operators are mostly standard units or given via story—no gacha required.
Low Investment Cost: Blue/Purple gear works fine early on, and a 5-star weapon is given for free.

This guide details a budget-friendly, easy-to-play, and smooth-clearing four-person Physical squad perfect for F2P players!

【Physical Combo Explained】
In Endfield, 4 types of Physical Statuses = Vulnerability Stacks (Max 4 stacks)!
Lift / Knock Down: Use freely to keep stacking Vulnerability.
Breach / Crush: The key to capitalizing on Vulnerability stacks.
Breach: Consumes all Vulnerability stacks → Applies Physical Vulnerability (target takes more Physical DMG).
Crush: Consumes all Vulnerability stacks → Deals Massive Damage.

Optimal Combo Sequence:

  1. Endministrator → Use Skill to trigger Crush → Applies 1 stack of Vulnerability!
  2. While enemy is Vulnerable → Chen Qianyu's Combo Skill → Lift → Adds +1 more stack!
  3. Use basic attacks to charge the Charged Attack gauge → Triggers Pelica's Combo Skill.
  4. Is the enemy charging an attack? → Switch to Catcher's Combo Skill to interrupt.
  5. The moment a Combo Skill hits → Trigger Endministrator's Combo Skill again → Follow up with their Skill for a final **Crush
