Starting fresh in Arknights: Endfield means making critical early decisions. Rerolling gives you control over your opening roster, letting you secure powerful operators before investing serious time. While the game's generous enough that you can progress without rerolling, landing a top-tier six-star early smooths out the entire early game experience. This guide breaks down exactly how to reroll efficiently, which banners deserve your attention, and which operators are actually worth the reset grind.
Is Rerolling Worth Your Time?
Here's the thing: rerolling in Endfield isn't mandatory, but it's definitely effective. Each reroll cycle takes roughly 30-40 minutes from account creation to your first batch of pulls. That's longer than many gacha games, which makes efficiency absolutely critical.
The payoff comes from securing operators that carry you through early content while building toward endgame teams. You'll want to consider rerolling if you're aiming for specific operators, enjoy optimization, or simply want the strongest possible foundation. For those who prefer jumping straight in, check our Arknights: Endfield Ultimate Beginner's Guide for progression strategies without rerolling.
Important
Rerolling requires patience and preparation. Setting up multiple accounts beforehand speeds up the process significantly.
How Many Free Pulls Do You Get?
Launch rewards are generous. You'll collect approximately 20 Standard Banner pulls immediately after unlocking the Headhunting system, plus 40 pulls for the Beginner Banner through Chapter 1 completion. Pre-registration bonuses and early codes add more on top.
The key resource is Oroberyl, your premium currency for Headhunting. Standard tickets work too, but Oroberyl gives you flexibility across different banner types. Arsenal Tickets handle weapon banners separately, which you'll accumulate through operator pulls over time.
Endfield's Banner System
New Horizons Headhunting (Beginner Banner)
This banner uses exclusive Beginner 10-pull tickets with a hard cap at 40 total pulls. You're guaranteed at least one six-star standard operator, plus a selectable six-star weapon as a completion bonus.
The banner's extremely beginner-friendly, but accessing it requires story progression. For rerolling purposes, this makes it slower than the Standard Banner for quick operator checks. Most rerollers focus on Standard first, then evaluate Beginner results if they keep the account.
Basic Headhunting (Standard Banner)
Your general-purpose banner with straightforward pity mechanics:
- 80 pulls guarantees a six-star operator
- 300 pulls lets you directly select any standard six-star
- Uses standard tickets or Oroberyl
What most players miss: this banner's pool never rotates, meaning every six-star here eventually appears through normal play. That's why spending premium currency here long-term isn't recommended. For rerolling though, it's your fastest route to initial operator checks.
Chartered Headhunting (Limited Banner)
The premium banner where you'll eventually spend most resources. Key mechanics:
- 80 pulls guarantees a six-star
- 50% chance the six-star is the featured operator
- 120 pulls guarantees the featured operator
- 80-pull pity carries over to future limited banners
- 120-pull guarantee does NOT carry over
- Free 10-pull bonus at 30 pulls (doesn't count toward pity)
- 240 pulls grants an Operator Token for potential upgrades
Pro Tip: Only pull on limited banners if you can reach 120 pulls. Getting the featured operator early means stopping immediately unless you're chasing potentials.

Limited banner pity system
Weapon Banner Mechanics
Weapon banners use Arsenal Tickets instead of Oroberyl. You'll earn these through operator pulls:
Both Standard and Limited weapon banners exist, with the Standard version letting you select a target weapon. Six-star weapons have a 25% chance to be your selected one, with guarantees at 40 pulls for any six-star and 80 pulls for your chosen weapon.
Limited weapon banners follow similar rules but with rotating pools. Critically, their pity doesn't carry over between rotations, making them risky for early investment.
Best Operators to Target When Rerolling
Laevatain
The first limited operator and your top reroll priority. Laevatain's kit dominates early content while scaling into endgame teams. Landing her means you can start playing immediately without second-guessing your account.
Her limited status makes her impossible to obtain outside specific banner windows, which amplifies her reroll value. If you pull Laevatain early, stop rerolling and commit to the account.
Pogranichnik
Your core physical team anchor. Pogranichnik appears in both Beginner and Standard banners, making him reasonably accessible through rerolls. His damage output and team utility create a solid foundation for progression.
Physical teams remain viable throughout the game, and Pogranichnik's presence immediately opens up multiple team composition options. He's worth keeping even if you don't hit your absolute top target.
Last Rite
Top-tier Cryo DPS with excellent future-proofing. Last Rite synergizes with upcoming Cryo operators, particularly Yvonne who features in current rate-ups. Her damage ceiling handles endgame content while her element typing gives you strategic flexibility.
Cryo teams scale well with investment, making Last Rite a strong long-term reroll target. She's not quite Laevatain-tier for immediate impact, but she's absolutely worth keeping if you pull her early.
Fast Reroll Method: Step-by-Step
1. Prepare Your Email Strategy
Speed comes from preparation. Use one of these methods:
Salted emails: Gmail treats dotted variations as separate accounts ([email protected], [email protected]) but sends everything to one inbox. Create these in advance for instant account creation.
Temporary emails: Services like EmailOnDeck generate disposable addresses. Use these for quick rerolls, then transfer keepers to permanent emails through the Account Center.
Warning
Don't lose access to temp emails before securing accounts you want to keep. Always bind to permanent emails immediately after deciding to commit.
2. Rush Through Tutorial Content
You've already seen the tutorial once. Skip dialogue, ignore exploration, and follow only main objectives until Headhunting unlocks. This typically happens when Chen joins your team, which is your earliest possible reroll point.
Focus on speed over completion. You're not here to experience the story again, you're here to reach the gacha system as fast as possible. Most efficient runs complete in 30-40 minutes depending on load times and skip availability.
3. Claim All Launch Rewards
The moment Headhunting opens, claim everything: pre-registration mail, launch bonuses, redemption codes (RETURNOFALL and ALLFIELD at launch), and beginner rewards. You should collect approximately 20 Standard Banner pulls immediately.
Don't save these for later. The entire point of rerolling is evaluating accounts quickly, which means spending resources immediately to check results.
4. Pull Standard Banner First
Spend your Standard Banner resources completely before touching the Beginner Banner. Standard pulls are faster to access and give you immediate feedback on account quality.
The Beginner Banner requires more story progression, which wastes time on accounts you'll likely discard. Save it for accounts that show promise on Standard pulls.
5. Evaluate and Reset
Hit a strong six-star early? Keep the account. Mediocre results by 20 pulls? Reset immediately. The "one more pull" mentality destroys reroll efficiency by extending bad runs.
If you're resetting, log out, create a new account using your prepared emails, and repeat the process. Speed matters more than perfect optimization on any single run.
When to Stop Rerolling
Set clear goals before starting. Decide whether you're chasing Laevatain specifically, any top-tier six-star, or multiple six-stars before committing. This prevents endless rerolling that burns you out before actually playing.
Reasonable stopping points:
- Laevatain in first 20 pulls
- Two six-stars within 40 pulls
- One top-tier six-star plus strong five-stars
Remember that Endfield's progression systems reward consistency over perfect starts. A good account you actually play beats a perfect account you abandon from reroll fatigue.
Resource Management After Rerolling
Once you've secured your account, resource discipline becomes critical. Save Oroberyl for limited banners where you can reach the 120-pull guarantee. Standard Banner operators eventually spook you on limited pulls anyway.

Daily and weekly rewards add up significantly over time. Prioritize these over rushing story content, especially early on when your roster needs development more than immediate progression.
Should You Reroll at All?
Ultimately, rerolling is optional. Endfield's systems let you build strong teams with free operators and guaranteed pulls over time. The game rewards smart team building and resource management more than raw six-star count.
Reroll if you enjoy optimization, want specific operators, or plan to invest heavily. Skip it if you prefer experiencing content naturally or don't have 3-4 hours for multiple reroll cycles.
Either path works. The most important factor is actually playing the game consistently rather than burning out before you start. A decent account you enjoy beats a perfect account you never use.
