Arknights Endfield Camille vs Mi Fu: Which 6-Star Should You Pull?

Who Are Camille and Mi Fu in Arknights: Endfield?

Camille and Mi Fu are the headline 6★ units of the Version 1.3 update in Arknights: Endfield. According to the official Gryphline patch notes, the pair headlines the new Headhunting banner, and they are the first 6★ Vanguard and 6★ Great Sword Guard units in their respective archetypes to debut in Endfield. They are widely considered the centerpiece operators for two of the most-played build styles in the meta: Heat reaction teams and Physical burst teams.

Release Context: Version 1.3 Banner

Camille: 6★ Heat Polearm Vanguard from Ses'qa; unlocked after completing the Danse Macabre story. Designed to apply Heat Infliction, push Heat Susceptibility on enemies, and self-heal to stack team-wide damage buffs.
Mi Fu: 6★ Physical Great Sword Guard; an S-Tier main DPS built around consuming Vulnerability stacks with her Qingbo Triplex chain and the launch-uppercut Fists of No Regrets.

TL;DR: Camille is your Heat enabler, sub-DPS, and buffer; Mi Fu is your Physical burst carry. The right pull depends on which element your account is missing.

Camille's Kit, Signature Weapon, and Best Team

Camille is a 6★ Heat Polearm Vanguard whose kit revolves around Firefang Vesperwings, a summoned helper attached to enemies by Blazing Exorcism (Battle Skill). The Vesperwing applies Weakness and Heat Susceptibility to its host, and chaining Camille's Heartstake Thorn (Combo Skill) into the hovering target triggers bonus Heat damage.

Her Ultimate — Sanguine Downpour — rains down Heat damage, then temporarily converts her Battle Skill into Hunter Pursuit, a free SP-cost dash that chains Heat damage and SP recovery. Per Icy Veins' profile, Talent 1: Hunter of Transgression heals Camille on hit and grants a 15s Link buff, while Talent 2: Bloodfount Revival gives her up to +20% Heat DMG Dealt (max 5 stacks) for 40s, with the team receiving 25% of that bonus. At full HP, the talent doubles to 2 stacks per trigger, so staying healthy is a real damage multiplier.

Camille Signature Weapon: Blessings of Lustrous Carmine

Blessings of Lustrous Carmine is Camille's signature 6★ Polearm from the Arsenal Issue weapon banner, which runs concurrently with the Camille headhunting banner. It boosts Agility and Heat DMG, and its unique perk grants a party-wide ATK buff whenever Camille recovers SP through her skills — a perfect mirror of her talent rotation. The 5★ fallback is JET, and the 6★ alternative Beacon of Duty trades team buff for faster Ultimate charging.

For gear, the Frontiers Set is the best-in-slot for support builds (Combo Skill cooldown −15%, +16% team DMG when Camille recovers SP). The Mordvolt Insulation Set is the alternative damage build — keep above 80% HP to keep the +20% Arts DMG bonus active, ideally paired with Ardelia healing.

Best Camille Team Comps

Team Type	Operators	How It Plays
6★ Heat Core	Camille, Rossi, Mi Fu, Pogranichnik	Mi Fu + Rossi apply and consume Vulnerability; Rossi adds Heat Susceptibility to all enemies; Pogra breaks bars and feeds SP
F2P Heat Team	Camille, Ardelia, Wulfgard, Chen Qianyu	Wulfgard boosts Heat damage, Chen Qianyu applies Lift, Ardelia keeps HP above 80% for Mordvolt set bonus

Skill priority for Camille: Blazing Exorcism > Heartstake Thorn ≥ Sanguine Downpour > Basic Attack, per TheGamer's build guide.

Mi Fu's Kit, Signature Weapon, and Best Team

Mi Fu is a 6★ Physical Great Sword Guard with a three-stage Battle Skill — Qingbo Triplex — that chains Cloudtrapper → Trail and Mangle → World Splitter. The chain stacks and consumes Vulnerability on the target, and every 3 stacks triggers Fists of No Regrets (Combo Skill): a 250% Physical hit plus Physical Susceptibility. Her Ultimate, Pile of No Mercy (100 energy, 20s CD), delivers a 700% multiplier that launches and slams the target, generating heavy Stagger.

Talent 1: Stern Crackdown boosts World Splitter by 1.2× against Staggered or Physically Susceptible targets, which is why pairing her with Stagger-friendly supports is a top community recommendation. Talent 2: Vigilant Fury grants a 30% max HP shield for 10s on every Combo Skill cast, with a 60s cooldown — making her surprisingly durable for a burst DPS.

Mi Fu Signature Weapon: Amaranthine Tassel

Amaranthine Tassel is Mi Fu's signature 6★ Great Sword. Per oslink.io's build guide, the weapon is tuned exactly for her kit: it amplifies Physical DMG, enhances Battle Skill combos, lifts Crush damage, and improves overall burst stability. The best 5★ alternative is Phantom Pain (stronger Vulnerability-window burst), and the 6★ fallback Exemplar is workable but lacks deep synergy with her combo rotation.

Her best-in-slot gear is the Swordmancer 3-piece: +32 Strength, +21 ATK, and a triple-stack bonus of +45% DMG (15% per stack, 25s) after consuming a Physical Reaction — perfectly aligned with her Vulnerability → Crush playstyle. The recommended Essence pairing is Amaranthine Tassel + Combative Setup, with Strength > Attack > Combative stat priority.

Best Mi Fu Team Comps

Team Type	Operators	How It Plays
Meta Physical Burst	Mi Fu, Chen Qianyu, Pogranichnik, Lifeng / Ember	Chen Qianyu enables the full Vulnerability combo almost instantly; Pogra adds buff and team SP; Lifeng/Ember give Attack Link and Stagger support
Hybrid Reaction	Mi Fu, Rossi, Akekuri, Chen Qianyu / Pogranichnik	Rossi bridges Arts and Physical; Akekuri extends burst windows; highest ceiling for tech-heavy players
F2P Physical	Mi Fu, free starter buffer, free healer, flex slot	Slower stack ramp, but fully functional in most content

Camille vs Mi Fu: Damage Type, Synergy, and Account Fit

Elemental Coverage

Pick Camille if you do not yet own a strong Heat enabler. He feeds Laevatain Heat teams, pairs naturally with Rossi, and adds party-wide damage via Link and Bloodfount Revival. He also functions as a direct upgrade to Akekuri in existing Heat comps.
Pick Mi Fu if you are missing a Physical carry. She scales harder than almost any Physical DPS once Vulnerability is stacked, and she ships with a 30% HP shield and Stagger control — meaning she both deals and survives burst windows.

Synergy With Existing Roster

Camille is the better second pull if you already have Laevatain or Wulfgard: Camille feeds them Link buffs, applies Heat Susceptibility, and accelerates Heat combos.
Mi Fu is the better first pull if you have Chen Qianyu or Endministrator ready to apply Vulnerability — her combo engine needs that setup to reach her ceiling.
Pull both if you plan to run the meta Heat-Physical flex comp: Camille + Rossi + Mi Fu + Pogranichnik is one of the strongest 6★ cores in Version 1.3, with Mi Fu/Rossi handling Vulnerability and Camille spreading Heat Susceptibility across the field.

Verdict: Which 6-Star Should You Pull First?

Account Situation	Recommended Pull
F2P / low-pull budget	Camille (broader team utility, party buffs, replaces Akekuri)
You already own Laevatain / Wulfgard / Rossi	Camille (immediate Heat team upgrade)
You already own Chen Qianyu / Endministrator / Pogranichnik	Mi Fu (one-shots Vulnerability combos)
You need a Physical main DPS for boss content	Mi Fu (700% ult + shield)
You want one of each damage type	Camille first (Heat support fits more teams), then Mi Fu when her banner returns

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is Camille or Mi Fu better for F2P players?
Camille is generally the better F2P pull. He functions as a direct upgrade to Akekuri, fits into existing Heat comps (Laevatain / Wulfgard), and brings party-wide damage buffs without requiring premium supports.

Q2: Which operator is better for a Heat team?
Camille is the better pick for Heat. He applies Heat Infliction, pushes Heat Susceptibility on enemies, self-heals to stack Bloodfount Revival (+20% Heat DMG), and feeds Laevatain Link buffs. Mi Fu is Physical-only and does not fit Heat teams.

Q3: Which operator is better for a Physical team?
Mi Fu is the better pick. Her Qingbo Triplex chain consumes Vulnerability to amplify Physical damage, Fists of No Regrets triggers at 3 Vulnerability stacks for a 250% burst, and her Pile of No Mercy ult hits 700% with heavy Stagger.

Q4: Do Camille and Mi Fu work well in the same team?
Yes. The community-recommended Camille + Rossi + Mi Fu + Pogranichnik core lets Mi Fu/Rossi handle Vulnerability combos while Camille spreads Heat Susceptibility, creating a hybrid Physical/Heat flex team.

Q5: Which signature weapon should I prioritize?
If you pull Camille, his signature Blessings of Lustrous Carmine is the priority — its team ATK buff stacks with his SP-recovery rotation. If you pull Mi Fu, her signature Amaranthine Tassel is the priority — the 5★ alternative Phantom Pain is a strong budget fallback.

Q6: How long will the Version 1.3 banner run?
Banners in Arknights: Endfield typically run for three weeks before rotating. Check the in-game banner timer and the official Gryphline news page for the exact end date of the 1.3 Headhunting and Arsenal Issue weapon banners.
