Arknights Endfield Antal guide - Strengths, weaknesses, best weapon and gear

• Antal is an Electric 4* Operator
• He is a Supporter who uses Arts Unit
• Antal is a good fit for Electric or Heat teams - his kit can synergise with both

Antal is a solid Arknights Endfield choice for Heat or Electric teams. He pairs really well with Laevatain, since her kit requires Heat Infliction/Combustion, which, with Antal, can be reached a lot easier. 

In this guide, I’ll go over Antal's abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, and we will take a look at his build.

• Avywenna (Electric)

• Akekuri (Heat)

Is Antal worth using?

Antal is worth using alongside Laevatain. He can fit into many teams, but you will need to upgrade him and give him a solid weapon. Since he doesn't do much else, most of your damage will have to come from somewhere else.
