Quick answer · updated Nov 5, 2026

Live now: Argent Flow — The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow (Nov 5, 12:00 → Version 1.7 maintenance, expected around Nov 25) and Tangtang's rerun — Ancestral Spring Flows Anew (until Nov 19, 11:59).

Just ended: Si — Rejuvenation closed on Nov 5 at 11:59, right before Argent Flow opened.

Next: Kay, a Rhodes Island Operator, is expected with Version 1.7 around Nov 25 (not officially dated). All banner times are server time.

01Current Endfield Banners: Argent Flow & Tangtang (1.6)

Version 1.6, Sanctuary of Ink, went live on October 15, 2026 — the same day Arknights: Endfield launched on Steam. Phase 1 (Si) has ended, and Phase 2 is now live with Argent Flow, running alongside a mid-version rerun for Tangtang.

Who else is in the pool? If you lose the rate-up on Argent Flow's banner, the other 6★ you can pull are the limited Si and Typhoeus, plus the standard Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite and Pogranichnik.

Free pulls: Argent Flow's sign-in event, The Stars Are With Me, grants 5 HH Permits, and up to 5 more are available through the discounted AIC Quota Exchange.

The Moongleam Issue stays open for three Chartered banners, starting with Argent Flow's, so you can secure him first and come back for Lunar Calling later.

Should You Pull for Argent Flow?

Argent Flow is a Sword user who charges into battle on his galloper, Nuli. His Electrification makes enemies take more damage of every type, so he works as an amplifier in Physical teams as well as Electric and Arts lineups.

Pull if…

  • You run Chen Qianyu or another Physical team
  • You own Liino, Arcane or Gilberta
  • You want one amplifier that fits more than one team

Skip or wait if…

  • Your main team is Cryo or Heat
  • You are saving for Kay in Version 1.7
  • You can't reach 120 pulls before about Nov 25

For kits, teams and weapons, see our Version 1.6 Si and Argent Flow guide. Pulling on Tangtang's rerun? Read the Tangtang build guide. Missed Si? Our Si build guide explains whether she's worth waiting for.

This table tracks debuts only; reruns are in the rerun tracker above. Purrchena is left out because she is a free 5★ event Operator.

04Upcoming Operators: Kay and Version 1.7

Kay – Expected in Version 1.7

Teased · expected around Nov 25 · not officially dated

Kay was teased at the end of the Version 1.6 livestream on October 6. She is a Rhodes Island Operator who has been travelling across Talos-II searching for the Endministrator, and she is set to guide players through the World o'Shrooms in the upcoming Cretaceous Frontiers region. Her class, element and banner date have not been revealed.

Many fans believe Kay is a "reconvener" of Ceobe from the original Arknights, but Hypergryph has not confirmed it. The Rhodes Island teaser also showed other silhouettes, including one that resembles Warfarin — treat those as speculation until officially named.

Version 1.7 has not been officially dated. Based on the current Protocol Pass end date, it is expected around November 25, 2026. Argent Flow's banner officially runs until the next version maintenance, so that is also when his banner is expected to close.

What Happened to the Version 1.4 Teasers?

The Homecoming special program closed with three mystery characters. All three are now playable:

Your Version 1.6 Checklist

1

Argent Flow's banner is open. Check whether he fits your Physical, Electric or Arts team before committing Oroberyl.

2

Claim the 5 free The Stars Are With Me HH Permits, and check the AIC Quota Exchange for discounted permits.

3

Missed Tangtang in 1.1? Her rerun ends on Nov 19.

4

If Kay interests you, keep a reserve — Version 1.7 is expected only about three weeks after Argent Flow arrived.

5

Secure the Operator first. Lunar Calling stays on the Moongleam Issue for three Chartered banners, so the weapon can wait.

Common Mistakes

Using an outdated schedule

Si's Rejuvenation banner has ended. The live new 6★ is Argent Flow, and Tangtang's rerun runs until Nov 19.

Treating 80 as the cap

80 pulls only guarantees a 6★. The featured Operator's hard guarantee is 120.

Chasing every debut

Yvonne and Tangtang both came back within about seven months, so skipping is not always permanent.

Frequently asked questions

What is the current Arknights: Endfield banner?

As of November 5, 2026, two banners are live: Argent Flow’s The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow (from November 5, 12:00 server time, until the Version 1.7 maintenance, expected around November 25) and Tangtang’s rerun, Ancestral Spring Flows Anew (until November 19, 11:59). Si’s Rejuvenation banner ended on November 5 at 11:59.

Who is the next Arknights: Endfield banner character?

Kay, a Rhodes Island Operator teased at the end of the Version 1.6 livestream, is expected with Version 1.7 around November 25. Her class, element and banner date have not been officially announced.

How many versions of Arknights: Endfield have been released?

Seven: Version 1.0 through 1.6. Version 1.6, Sanctuary of Ink, launched on October 15, 2026, the same day the game arrived on Steam.

Which 6★ Operators were released in Version 1.0?

Version 1.0 had three limited 6★ banners: Laevatain, Gilberta, and Yvonne.

Which Operators have received rerun banners?

Yvonne returned in Version 1.5 (Resplendent Spectrum) and Tangtang in Version 1.6 (Ancestral Spring Flows Anew, live until November 19). Laevatain and Gilberta were also selectable on the Version 1.2 Fest of Brilliance banner. Rossi has waited the longest for a rerun.

Who are the upcoming Operators in Arknights: Endfield?

Kay is the only officially named upcoming Operator. She is expected in Version 1.7 and will guide players through the World o’Shrooms in the new Cretaceous Frontiers region. Other silhouettes from the 1.6 livestream, including one that resembles Warfarin, have not been confirmed. All three Version 1.4 teasers are now playable: Si, Argent Flow and Typhoeus.

When will the next Arknights: Endfield version arrive?

Version 1.7 has not been officially dated. Based on the current Protocol Pass end date, it is expected around November 25, 2026, which is also when Argent Flow’s banner is expected to close.

How does pity work on Arknights: Endfield banners?

A 6★ Operator is guaranteed within 80 pulls, and the featured 6★ is guaranteed within 120 counted pulls on that banner. Each pull costs 500 Oroberyl. On weapon banners, the rate-up 6★ weapon is guaranteed once at 80 pulls.

When does Argent Flow’s banner end?

The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow runs until the Version 1.7 maintenance, expected around November 25, 2026. His signature weapon banner, Moongleam Issue, stays open for three Chartered banners, so it lasts longer than his character banner.

Who can I get if I lose the 50/50 on Argent Flow’s banner?

The other 6★ Operators in his pool are the limited Si and Typhoeus, plus the standard Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite and Pogranichnik.
