Arknights: Endfield continues to expand its Version 1.0 cycle with multiple overlapping Headhunting and Arsenal Issue banners. If you are saving Oroberyls or planning your next 6-Star pull, now is the time to review the full banner schedule and prepare for Version 1.1.
According to the latest banner schedule , several limited and weapon banners are currently active, with a new 6-Star debut expected in mid-March.
Current Banners (Version 1.0 – Phase 3)
Yvonne – “Hues of Passion”
- Dates: February 24 – March 13, 2026 (GMT+8)
- Type: Chartered Headhunting
- Featured 6-Star: Yvonne
Yvonne’s banner marks the third and final phase of Version 1.0. As a debut 6-Star Operator, she currently holds the spotlight. If you skipped Phase 1 or Phase 2 units, this is the last major character window before Version 1.1 begins.
Graffiti Issue – Artzy Tyrannical (Weapon Banner)
- Started: February 24, 2026
- Ends: After three Chartered Headhunting banners pass
- Featured 6-Star Weapon: Artzy Tyrannical
This Arsenal Issue banner runs alongside Yvonne and focuses on her signature weapon. If you plan to main Yvonne long-term, pulling her weapon during this cycle provides optimal synergy.
Still Active Weapon Banners
Express Delivery Issue
- Started: February 7, 2026
- Linked Character: Gilberta
- Ends: After three Chartered Headhunting banners
This banner features Delivery Guaranteed, Gilberta’s signature weapon.
Smelting Forge Issue
- Started: January 22, 2026
- Linked Character: Laevatain
- Featured Weapon: Forgeborn Scathe
This banner originally launched with Laevatain’s debut. It remains available under the same rotating weapon cycle rules.
Next Banner: Tangtang (Version 1.1 Phase 1)
- Estimated Dates: March 13 – March 29, 2026
- Likely Role: 6-Star Rate-Up
Tangtang is widely expected to headline Version 1.1 Phase 1. She was previously announced as an upcoming playable character during the global release livestream .
While official confirmation remains pending, most projections place her banner immediately after Yvonne’s cycle ends. If she launches as a 6-Star Operator, expect a full Chartered Headhunting banner and matching Arsenal Issue weapon banner.
Other Likely Version 1.1 Debuts
Story appearances strongly suggest the following characters may receive banners soon:
- Zhuang Fangyi
- Rossi
- Mi Fu
Their involvement in early main story chapters makes them strong candidates for upcoming debut banners . However, the final order will depend on Hypergryph’s official reveal schedule.
Permanent Banners You Should Not Ignore
Even with limited banners active, two permanent systems remain available:
Basic Headhunting (Standard Banner)
- Permanent duration
- Uses Basic HH Permits or Oroberyls
- 300-pull selector system: Choose one 6-Star Operator
Reaching 300 pulls allows you to select a standard 6-Star Operator once . Long-term players may prefer saving for this guaranteed system.
New Horizons (Beginner Banner)
- Starter-only banner
- Guaranteed 6-Star within 40 pulls
- Disappears after completion
New players should prioritize finishing this banner early.
Banner Strategy: Should You Pull Now or Wait?
Here’s how to approach February 2026:
Pull for Yvonne if:
- You want a Version 1.0 debut unit.
- You can secure enough pulls before March 13.
- You plan to invest in her signature weapon.
Save for Tangtang if:
- You prefer newer meta releases.
- You want a Version 1.1 Phase 1 character.
- You suspect power creep in early patches.
With overlapping weapon banners and a likely new 6-Star in March, currency management becomes critical.
February 2026 marks the final stretch of Version 1.0 in Arknights: Endfield. Yvonne’s debut banner closes out the launch cycle, while Tangtang appears ready to open Version 1.1 in mid-March.
If you plan carefully, you can secure a top-tier Operator without exhausting your resources before the next major update.
Version 1.1 details should surface soon, so expect official confirmations in early March.
