In Arknights Endfield, banners shape how you grow your roster. Every new operator, every signature weapon, and every long term plan flows through the banner system. If you want to stay efficient with your resources, knowing what comes next matters as much as knowing what runs now.
The game follows a structured release cadence. Limited character banners rotate roughly every two weeks, while weapon banners stretch across multiple character phases. This rhythm gives you room to plan rather than pull on impulse.
What Is the Next Banner in Arknights Endfield?
The next banner in Arknights Endfield arrives as part of Version 1.0 Phase 2. It introduces Gilberta, a new six star Nature Support operator.
Gilberta Banner Overview
- Banner name: The Floaty Messenger
- Role: Nature Support
- Weapon type: Arts unit
- Banner duration: February 7 to February 24, 2026
Gilberta focuses on battlefield control and sustained support rather than raw damage. If your squad leans toward elemental synergy or long engagement fights, this banner offers real value.
After Gilberta, Phase 3 follows immediately with Yvonne, another limited six star.
Yvonne Banner Overview
- Banner name: Hues of Passion
- Role: Cryo Striker
- Weapon type: Handcannon
- Banner duration: February 24, 2026 until Version 2.0
Yvonne plays aggressively and rewards precise positioning. She fits players who enjoy high impact burst windows and elemental pressure.
How Limited Character Banners Work?
Limited banners in Arknights Endfield use Charted Headhunting permits. These banners feature one primary six star operator and rotate out permanently once their cycle ends.
Here is what you should know before pulling:
- Every 10 pulls guarantees a five star or higher operator
- Every 80 pulls guarantees a six star operator
- At 120 pulls, the featured six star becomes guaranteed
- Pity does not carry over between limited banners
If you miss a featured character, the game does not add them to the standard pool. Reruns may happen later, but no timeline exists.
Next Weapon Banners and Signature Weapons
Weapons work differently from characters in Arknights Endfield. You do not pull them with standard currency.
To access weapon banners, you earn Arsenal Tickets by pulling characters or completing routine content.
Upcoming Signature Weapons
Delivery Guaranteed
- Type: Arts unit
- Associated operator: Gilberta
- Banner: Express Delivery Issue
- Available from February 7, 2026
Artzy Tyrannical
- Type: Handcannon
- Associated operator: Yvonne
- Banner: Graffiti Issue
- Available from February 24, 2026
Each weapon banner lasts across three character banners. This longer window allows you to save tickets instead of rushing pulls.
Eight pulls guarantee the featured weapon. Each pull grants ten weapons, which reduces randomness compared to character banners.
Current Banner As of January 23
If you join now, the active banner still features Laevatain, a six star Heat Striker.
- Banner name: Scars of the Forge
- Ends: February 7, 2026
Her signature weapon, Forgeborn Scathe, remains available on the Smelting Forge weapon banner until Version 2.0 arrives.
Understanding what runs now helps you decide whether to save for the next banner or commit early.
Beginner and Standard Banners Explained Simply
New Horizons Headhunting
This beginner banner exists to stabilize your early game.
- Ends after 40 pulls
- Guarantees one six star operator
- Lets you choose a six star weapon afterward
If you just started, finish this banner before touching limited ones. It sets a strong foundation.
Basic Headhunting Banner
This banner never expires.
- Six star pity at 80 pulls
- Five star guaranteed every 10 pulls
- One-time six star selector after 300 pulls
Basic Headhunting works best as a slow burn option. You pull here when you want depth rather than chasing limited power.
Smart Pull Strategy for the Next Banner
If you plan efficiently, Arknights Endfield rewards patience.
- Save Charted permits for characters you truly want
- Avoid splitting pity across banners
- Match signature weapons only if you main the operator
- Finish beginner pulls before limited banners
Gilberta suits tactical, control-oriented playstyles. Yvonne rewards aggressive timing and elemental setups. Decide based on how you enjoy playing, not hype alone.
