Wulfgard Overview

Rarity: 5-star | Class: Caster | Weapon: Handcannon | Element: Heat

Wulfgard is a Heat-oriented operator who excels at triggering Arts Reactions for both burst and sustained damage. His skills apply Heat Infliction and Combustion consistently, enabling strong AoE pressure and high payoff when reactions are properly set up. He performs especially well in teams that can support reaction chaining and timing.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
High burst damage through Arts Reaction synergy; Reliable Heat application; strong AoE output; Flexible skill scaling based on enemy status.	Performance depends heavily on reaction setup; Lower efficiency in teams lacking infliction support; Requires timing and positioning to maximize damage.

 

Wulfgard Skill

Basic Attack: Rapid Fire Akimbo

• BASIC ATTACK: An attack with up to 4 sequences that deals Heat DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 18 Stagger.
• DIVE ATTACK: Basic attack performed in mid-air becomes a dive attack that deals Heat DMG to nearby enemies.
• FINISHER: Basic attack performed near a Staggered enemy becomes a finisher that deals massive Heat DMG and recovers some SP.

 

Battle Skill: Thermite Tracers

Fires multiple shots at the target that deal some Heat DMG. The final shot also applies Heat Infliction.

If the target has active Combustion or Electrification, do not apply Heat Infliction but instead consume the Arts Reaction to fire an additional shot that deals massive Heat DMG.

 

Combo Skill: Frag Grenade·β

When an Arts Infliction is applied to an enemy, throws a frag grenade at the target's location that explodes upon hitting the ground, dealing Heat DMG and Heat Infliction to nearby enemies.

 

Ultimate: Wolven Fury

Fire a rapid barrage of shots and unleashes the Wolven Fury to attack nearby enemies, dealing 5 hits of Heat DMG and forcibly applying Combustion.

 

Skills Analysis

Wulfgard is a Heat-focused damage dealer built around Arts Reaction synergy and high burst potential.

• His kit consistently applies Heat Infliction and Combustion, enabling strong follow-up damage through skill interactions.
• The Battle Skill adapts to existing reactions, converting them into powerful additional shots instead of redundant inflictions, which rewards proper setup and timing.
• His Combo Skill provides reliable AoE pressure whenever an infliction is applied, while the Ultimate forcibly applies Combustion to establish an immediate damage window.

Overall, Wulfgard excels at reaction-driven burst while maintaining solid sustained DPS.

We recommend the following skill upgrade priority:

Combo Skill＞Ultimate＞Battle Skill＞Basic Attack

 

Gear & Weapons

Wulfgard Gear

Gear is one of the core equipment systems in Arknights: Endfield, alongside Weapons. Each operator can equip four pieces of Gear: one armor piece, one pair of gloves, and two kits.

For Wulfgard, the primary Gear optimization strategy is to enhance his Heat-based damage output, making the Hot Work set a strong choice.

This Gear set effect triggers as follows:

• Wearer’s Arts Intensity +30. When the wearer applies Combustion, Heat DMG +60% for 8s.
• When the wearer applies Corrosion, Nature DMG +60% for 8s.
• The aforementioned effects cannot stack.

Wulfgard Weapons

We recommend the following weapons as the best choices to unleash the full potential of Wulfgard:

6-star Clannibal (Best!)	6-star Navigator	5-star Rational Farewell	5-star OBJ Velocious

 

Wulfgard Teams

Since Wulfgard is a five-star operator, you may choose to allocate more resources toward building six-star operators. However, this does not mean Wulfgard is unimportant.

Whether it’s clearing early-stage content or forming a high-end lineup for challenging stages after obtaining limited operators, the Wolf Guard plays a vital role in both scenarios.

Below are the recommended team compositions for Wulfgard, suitable for veteran players and P2F players alike.

Early-Game Clearing Team

Endministrator	Snowshine	Perlica	Wulfgard

If you have no plans to pull on the limited banner, you can use this team as your starter lineup for early-game progression. All the operators in this composition are easily accessible.

 

High-Difficulty Team

Laevatain	Wulfgard	Akekuri	Ardelia

In this setup, Laevatain serves as the main DPS. Skill activation should follow the order: Wulfgard → Akekuri → Laevatain.

Both Wulfgard and Akekuri can apply Fire attribute damage to enemies. Laevatain's heavy attack can then absorb these Fire afflictions to stack her own Fire layers. By chaining skills to reach four stacks, she triggers a follow-up attack that deals damage ignoring enemy resistance.

 

Conclusion

That concludes all the content of this guide. In summary, Wulfgard is an excellent operator to help you smoothly navigate the early stages of the game. With the advantage of being a five-star operator who is easy to obtain, he also boasts considerable combat strength and can be integrated into various team compositions, making him adaptable to different phases of your progression.

The highly anticipated Wulfgard will officially be available on January 22 with the public release of Arknights: Endfield. Moving forward, LDshop will continue to provide in-depth guides and safe and discounted Arknights: Endfield top-up services with exclusive benefits.
