Best Team Comps

Physical Burst Team
Pogranichnik(Main Control)	Lifeng	Chen Qianyu	Da Pan
In this team, Pogranichnik serves as an on-field support rather than a primary damage dealer and generally does not rely on frequent Battle Skill usage. Lifeng acts as the main Physical damage buffer, Da Pan is the final burst damage dealer, and Chen Qianyu is responsible for stacking Physical anomaly. The primary objective of the first three members is to apply four stacks of Physical Breach, enabling Da Pan to unleash extremely high burst damage.
Progression Team
Pogranichnik(Main Control)	Endministrator	Chen Qianyu	Da Pan
Pogranichnik is the only high-rarity unit in this lineup that must be obtained via gacha; once acquired, the team is fully functional, and he feels exceptionally smooth to play when used as the main control character. The core damage dealers are Endministrator and Chen Qianyu, while Pogranichnik mainly provides SP recovery and Physical anomalies, contributing occasional burst damage. Endministrator also fills the healer slot while providing a non-negligible amount of damage.
AFK Tank Team
Pogranichnik	Ember	Chen Qianyu	Da Pan
In this composition, Pogranichnik's primary role is SP recovery, requiring only his Combo Skill and Ultimate. Ember remains on the field, continuously dealing damage by holding basic attacks, while Battle Skills are mainly reserved for Da Pan. Combo Skills are used whenever available. With extremely high survivability, this team can clear content with minimal input, making it well-suited for near-AFK play.

Conclusion

Pogranichnik is the king of the "I don't want to try today" playstyle. If you like pressing shiny buttons and watching your SP bar fill itself while summons do the chores, he's your guy. Build him, grab a snack, and let the AFK life begin. It's not lazy; it's efficient. Good luck with your pulls!

And if you're a few pulls short of that comfort upgrade, topping up Arknights: Endfield through LDShop can be the simplest way to finish your plan without stalling your progression.
