Top Up Arknights: Endfield on Topuplist
Arknights: Endfield Version 1.4, Companionship Celebration: Homecoming, launched on July 16, 2026. It expands Wuling with two new areas, continues the main story, introduces Arcane and Liino, adds the Echoes of War challenge mode and extends the AIC Factory with gas production systems.
The most important mistake to avoid is spending the first day on permanent exploration while limited mail, daily scratches and banner-specific permits remain unclaimed.
For most players, the best Homecoming priority is:
Claim both compensation mails.
Perform the daily Fortune Connect-and-Win scratch.
Start Tribute of Companionship.
Begin the Arcane sign-in event.
Complete Arcane’s Combat Drills.
Unlock Wuling through the early-access activity.
Advance through Yinglung Pass.
Complete Gaze Towards the Northern Exclusion objectives.
Clear Echoes of War on Normal difficulty.
Decide whether to pull Arcane or save for Liino.
Arknights Endfield 1.4 Homecoming Overview
Homecoming is the largest Endfield update released since launch. The official update adds two six-star operators, five six-star weapons, two new Wuling areas, new enemies, additional story missions and several permanent and limited-time systems.
The version also improves mission tracking, target selection, production-line management, equipment assembly and visual settings.
Homecoming Release Date and Server Times
The Homecoming maintenance schedule was:
Asia Server: July 16, 2026, from 06:00 to 12:00 UTC+8
Americas and Europe: July 15, 2026, from 17:00 to 23:00 UTC-5
Homecoming is a mandatory update. The official notice also warns that some features unlock progressively through story advancement and exploration rather than becoming available immediately after installation.
What to Do First After Logging In
1. Claim Both Compensation Mails
Eligible accounts receive:
900 Oroberyl as maintenance compensation
900 Oroberyl as bug-fix compensation
The two rewards are delivered in separate mails. They expire when maintenance for the next version begins, and only characters created before the Homecoming update qualify.
Claim them immediately instead of leaving them in the mailbox.
2. Perform the Daily Scratch
Fortune Connect-and-Win runs until July 31, 2026, at 04:00 server time.
Players can perform one scratch per day and participate up to 14 times. The event guarantees at least 5,000 Oroberyl after completing all 14 scratches, with opportunities to double rewards or receive an “ALL” prize. A maximum of four “ALL” prizes can be claimed.
This activity should be completed before permanent story or factory work because a missed day may reduce the number of available attempts.
3. Start Tribute of Companionship
The three-day celebration sign-in event runs until August 9 at 12:00 server time.
Its headline rewards are:
3,000 Oroberyl
Five Basic HH Permits
Six-star Sword Farsight
Only three cumulative sign-in days are required.
4. Start the Arcane Sign-In Event
Gaze North to the Rift runs until August 9 at 11:59 server time. Logging in for seven days grants five banner-specific Gaze North to the Rift HH Permits.
These permits are connected to Arcane’s banner. Do not assume they can be saved indefinitely for unrelated future operators.
5. Complete Arcane’s Combat Drills
Arcane’s trial provides:
100 Oroberyl
Mark of Perseverance
Additional progression items
An Arsenal Defense Crate
The Arsenal Defense Crate contains a Fully Artificed Level 60 gear set selected for the trial operator. After reaching Wuling, the corresponding Gear Templates are also unlocked.
Even players planning to skip Arcane should complete the trial for its rewards.
All Major Homecoming Free Rewards
The following rewards are confirmed in the official update schedule.
Best Reward Claim Priority
Claim rewards in this order:
Compensation mail
Daily scratch attempt
Banner-specific permits
Free Farsight
Limited regional objectives
Combat Drill rewards
Echoes of War Normal rewards
Later challenge events
Permanent exploration rewards
Limited currencies and daily attempts are more urgent than permanent chests, Talosites or factory optimization.
How to Unlock Wuling Early
Homecoming introduces a permanent early-unlock route for new players.
After completing:
Chapter I Process II: Remediation Progress
open the Event Center and accept:
Chapter II Process I: Arrival at Wuling
You can then enter Wuling without completing every remaining Chapter I mission. Chapter I stays available, and you can return to Valley IV at any time.
Should New Players Skip Chapter I?
Use the early unlock to access:
Homecoming celebration events
Yinglung Pass
New regional missions
Arcane’s gear templates
Wuling AIC facilities
Time-limited rewards
However, do not permanently abandon Chapter I. Return after securing the limited Homecoming rewards to continue its story, exploration and account progression.
The recommended route is:
Complete Remediation Progress.
Unlock Arrival at Wuling.
Activate Yinglung Pass travel points.
Complete Homecoming event-tagged missions.
Unlock the North Wuling Exclusion Zone.
Finish the current Homecoming story.
Return for missed Chapter I content later.
Arcane Banner Guide
Arcane’s Chartered Headhunting banner is called North Yearns the Rift Vigile.
It runs from the Homecoming update until August 9, 2026, at 11:59 server time. Arcane is the featured six-star operator, while the six-star pool also contains Camille, Mi Fu, Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite and Pogranichnik.
What Role Does Arcane Play?
Arcane is officially described as a Nature Caster specializing in Corrosion and crowd control. She is designed to strengthen Nature-focused teams while controlling groups of enemies.
Arcane is worth stronger consideration when:
Your account lacks Nature damage
You need more Corrosion support
You want stronger battlefield control
You already own operators who benefit from Nature-based reactions
You enjoyed her Combat Drills
You can build an Arts Unit user without weakening your primary team
Consider skipping or waiting when:
Your Nature roster is already complete
You need healing or team support more urgently
You have enough resources for only one Homecoming operator
You prefer Liino’s expected team role
Arcane’s trial rotation does not suit you
Arcane’s Free Pull Sources
During Arcane’s banner, players can obtain:
Five permits from the seven-day sign-in
Up to five discounted permits through AIC Quota Exchange
A free ten-pull through Urgent Recruitment after 30 paid or regular banner attempts
A Headhunting Dossier after 60 attempts
An Arcane Token after every 240 attempts
The Urgent Recruitment ten-pull does not increase the normal banner guarantee or the attempt count for banner milestone rewards. The Headhunting Dossier converts into ten permits for the next Chartered Headhunting banner when that banner begins, but those converted permits expire when that next banner ends.
Should You Pull Arcane’s Weapon?
Arcane’s featured weapon is the six-star Arts Unit Type 42: Solemn Phalanx, available through Military Grade Issue.
For most players, the recommended order is:
Obtain Arcane.
Complete her Combat Drills.
Test the free Level 60 gear set.
Compare your existing Arts Units.
Build a functional team.
Consider the weapon only after confirming long-term use.
A new operator generally expands an account more than a signature weapon for an operator you are uncertain about.
Liino Banner Guide
Liino’s banner, Good Morning from Your Dawnstar, begins on August 9, 2026, at 12:00 server time and remains available until the next version maintenance.
The six-star pool contains Liino, Arcane, Camille, Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite and Pogranichnik. Her accompanying weapon issue features the six-star Polearm Bedazzling Night Debut.
What Role Does Liino Play?
Liino is officially described as an Electric Supporter with healing and amplification abilities. Her kit is intended to sustain the squad and strengthen different team compositions rather than operating only as a personal damage dealer.
Liino may be the better priority when:
Your account lacks healing
You need broadly useful team amplification
Your main DPS operators are already developed
You prefer support characters with longer account value
You do not urgently need Arcane’s Nature damage
Your Oroberyl cannot reasonably cover both operators
Wait for Liino’s Combat Drills and complete kit details before making a final pull decision.
Liino’s Free Pull Sources
Phase two includes:
Bedazzling Dawnstar seven-day sign-in
Five Liino-banner permits
Up to five discounted permits through AIC Quota Exchange
Liino Combat Drills
The standard Chartered Headhunting milestone systems
Her sign-in and banner begin only after Arcane’s banner ends.
Arcane vs Liino: Who Should You Pull?
The safest free-to-play approach is not to split Oroberyl between two incomplete targets. Select the operator who addresses the larger roster weakness.
How to Get the Free Six-Star Farsight
Farsight is a six-star Sword awarded through Tribute of Companionship.
You only need to log in on three cumulative days before August 9 to receive it alongside 3,000 Oroberyl and five Basic HH Permits.
Should You Upgrade Farsight Immediately?
Do not automatically spend every weapon material on it.
First check:
Which Sword operators you actively use
Whether an existing weapon already fits them
Farsight’s main and secondary stats
The weapon effect’s activation condition
Whether it improves your current team
Whether another Homecoming weapon has higher priority
A free six-star weapon is valuable, but it is not automatically the best weapon for every Sword operator.
Yinglung Pass Guide
Yinglung Pass should be the first new area you explore.
It is reached earlier through the Homecoming story and contains the new Xiranflow Cloudseeder Station outpost. Gas-related resources and AIC systems also begin opening as the Wuling main story progresses.
Prioritize:
Main mission markers
Travel points
Xiranflow Cloudseeder Station
Event-tagged regional missions
Protocol Automation-Core placement
Gas-resource vents
Talosite collection
Aero-Salvaging challenges
Optional chests and minor collectibles
Activating infrastructure and event missions first makes later exploration more efficient.
North Wuling Exclusion Zone Guide
Proceed to the North Wuling Exclusion Zone after the Homecoming story unlocks it.
The region introduces additional Blightshade enemies and contributes to the final stage of Wuling’s Homecoming storyline. The two new maps culminate in a confrontation with Alleikhreos.
Prioritize:
Main-story access
Travel points
Gaze Towards the Northern Exclusion missions
Regional outpost objectives
Talosite gathering
New enemy and boss records
Treasures of the Past
Aero-Salvaging
Permanent collectible completion
Gaze Towards the Northern Exclusion
This guide event runs until August 9 at 12:00 server time.
Complete its specified missions across Yinglung Pass and the North Wuling Exclusion Zone to earn:
1,200 Oroberyl
Mark of Perseverance rewards
Follow the event-marked objectives before completing unmarked exploration content.
Homecoming Gas AIC Factory Guide
Homecoming introduces a full gas-production branch to the Wuling AIC Factory.
New systems include:
Gas Extraction
Flow Rate Adjustment
Gas Reactor Globe
Gas Dispersal
Gas Reaction
Gas Purification
Fluid-Gas Transmutation
Solid-Gas Transmutation
Gas Storage
Gas Filling and Separation
The update also adds Inergen and Xiragen resource vents, which become available gradually as Wuling’s main story advances.
Should You Build a Gas Factory Immediately?
Build only the minimum required production chain at first.
Recommended order:
Unlock the relevant story technology.
Locate an active gas vent.
Establish extraction.
Add basic storage.
Add purification where required.
Connect the specific reaction or transmutation facility.
Test whether the output satisfies the current mission.
Expand only after confirming long-term demand.
Do not dismantle a stable solid or fluid production chain merely to experiment with every new gas facility.
Remote Facility Stashing
Facilities placed outside Automation-Core areas can now be returned directly to the regional depot through the map’s Stash button. This includes field infrastructure such as pylons, ziplines and combat facilities.
Use remote stashing to:
Recover temporary facilities
Reorganize exploration routes
Remove obsolete ziplines
Reduce travel time
Clean up old resource nodes
Talosite Exchange
Talosites can be gathered in Yinglung Pass and the North Wuling Exclusion Zone.
They can be exchanged for:
Gear Templates
Ornamentals
Camera Poses
Vinyls
The feature is permanent, so it is generally less urgent than the August 9 event rewards.
Recommended exchange priority:
Gear Templates required by your active team
Unique or limited collection items
Camera Poses
Vinyls
Items with little immediate account value
Transmute System
Transmute unlocks after reaching Chapter II Process I: Arrival at Wuling.
It allows selected high-tier materials to be converted into lower-tier versions. Spending Sanity can increase the conversion output.
Use it when a low-tier shortage is blocking:
Operator promotion
Skill upgrades
Weapon progression
Gear production
Avoid converting rare materials simply to clear inventory space. Confirm future upgrade needs first.
Echoes of War Guide
Echoes of War is a permanently available seasonal challenge mode.
Players clear stages, collect stars and earn seasonal titles. The first Normal clear of each stage awards Oroberyl, while higher difficulties provide rewards such as Mark of Perseverance and Advanced Cognitive Carriers.
Season of Recalling
The first Homecoming season runs until August 9 at 11:59 server time.
It includes:
Six stages
Three cycles
Three stages per cycle
600 Oroberyl for completing all Normal stages
The official wording lists six total stages across the season even though each cycle contains three stage slots, so use the live in-game schedule to track which stages rotate or repeat.
Recommended Echoes of War Priority
Clear every available stage on Normal.
Secure the Oroberyl rewards.
Attempt additional stars.
Build teams for higher difficulties.
Pursue titles and advanced materials last.
Do not repeatedly fail a high difficulty while leaving Normal first-clear rewards unclaimed.

Missing Daily Scratches
Fortune Connect-and-Win has a fixed end date and only one attempt is available each day.
Forgetting Banner-Permit Expiration

Pulling Arcane Before Completing Combat Drills
The trial gives useful rewards and lets you test her Nature, Corrosion and control gameplay.
Ignoring Liino’s Role
Accounts with enough damage but insufficient healing or amplification may gain more from Liino.
Spending Everything on a Weapon Banner
Secure the operator and a functioning team before pursuing a signature weapon.
Upgrading Farsight Without Checking Compatibility
A six-star rarity does not guarantee that the weapon suits your active Sword operator.
Exploring Without Activating the Guide Event
Missions completed outside the correct tracking flow may be harder to review later.
Rebuilding the Entire Factory Immediately
Build only the gas chain required by current story and progression needs.
Chasing High-Difficulty Echoes of War First
Normal first clears provide Oroberyl and should be secured before optional difficulty optimization.
