Fluorite in Arknights Endfield: A Guide to Gear, Teams, and Builds

Fluorite is an epic 4⭐ character in Arknights: Endfield of the Caster class with a Nature element. In the team, she occupies the position of a sub-DD, capable of effectively inflicting Nature or cryo damage on enemies with virtually all of her abilities.

Her skills are useful in teams where the primary damage dealer often consumes stacks of status effects on enemies, but her low rarity prevents her from dealing significant damage, limiting her to support. If desired, she could get good stats and equip a powerful weapon, but there's currently no way to compensate for the long cooldowns and delays on her abilities.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Fluorite is an elemental buff applicator, but her mechanics have many drawbacks that prevent her from being as effective as other operators in the same category.

How to Build Fluorite in Arknights: Endfield

The Operator's main stats are agility and intellect. However, when building Fluorite, you can sacrifice some important stats for the sake of energy recharge, because due to the combo's excessive cooldown, and in some situations the impossibility of using the skill frequently, she needs to accumulate the ult as quickly as possible.

Weapon Tier List

The heroine should choose a gun with the necessary primary and secondary characteristics, as well as energy restoration or a useful passive.

Handcannon	Description
Wedge (6⭐) Main stat +17-132 CRIT Rate +2.5% -19.5	+12%-33.6% to DMG from arts. After the use of battle skill DMG from elements increases by another +8%-22.4% for 15 sec. When battle skill activates a reaction, the gain is increased by an additional +16%-44.8% for 15 sec.
Opus: The Living (5⭐) Agility +16-124 Arts DMG +4.4%-34.7%	+3%-8.4% to crit rate. After the wielder triggers an elemental reaction, they receive +7.5%-21% to ATK for 20 sec.
OBJ Velocitous (5⭐) Agility +16-124 Energy Recharge rate +4.8%-37.1%	+5%-14% to ATK. When the owner consumes stacks of elemental effects, gains +(5%-14% × number of absorbed charges) to applied Nature DMG.
Howling Guard (4⭐) Intellect +12-93 ATK +3%-23.4%	After hitting an enemy with a battle skill, ATK increases by 12%-33.6% for 20 sec.

Choosing the equipment

There are two types of equipment to choose from for Fluorite:

• Equipping an offset will reduce her own damage but increase her utility for allies and allow her to activate her ult more often. In this case, a Bonekrusha or Tidal Surge body should be used: it will increase her primary or secondary stat and increase her super energy generation rate. Gloves from the "Lynx" or "Eternal Xyranite" sets and other offset ammunition will also affect this stat.

Tide Fall Light Armor Bonekrusha Heavy Armor	LYNX Gloves Eternal Xiranite Gloves	Redemeer Seal	Redemeer Seal

• Choosing a full set that will give her useful damage stats will make her hit harder and her ult less frequently. "Frontiers" is a good option to use, as the combo cooldown reduction is very useful. "Redeemer Seal" is also a good fourth item to give her energy.

Equipment set	Description
Frontiers (lvl 70)	3-Piece Bonus: Reduces the cooldown of the owner's combo skills by 15%. When restoring the owner's SP with a skill, the team receives +16% to DMG for 15 sec.
MI Security (level 36-50)	3-Piece Bonus: Intellect +50. If HP is above 80%, +20% to arts damage.

Recommended Stats

When choosing equipment, you should pay attention to the following stats:

Fluorite Team Guide

Fluorite's teams are best built around heroes who require large stacks of damage from arts to trigger reactions or absorbs. These heroes should preferably have a Nature or Cryo element, but in some cases, this isn't necessary. Also, for Fluorite to perform her combo, the target must have two stacks of Cryo or Nature effects, necessitating the addition of an additional operator to apply them.

Best allies

Suitable allies for the heroine:

Operator	Features
Typheus (Stormtrooper: Nature)	The Huntress needs charges defeat by natureto transform them into signs and hunting arrows for enhanced attacks. Therefore, Fluorite will be one of the best budget-friendly applicators for her.
Yvonne (Striker: Cryo)	A primary Cryo damage dealer who deals massive single-target damage with her enhanced basic attacks. Yvonne requires targets to be constantly affected by Arts effects, which she can absorb and force-activate Solidification.
Last Rite (Striker: Cryo)	Needs a lot of cryo effect on enemies to activate combos that Fluorite can inflict with her combos and ultimate. Last Rite's ​​skill can also activate the cryo effect itself, which synergizes well with the lizard girl's stacking abilities.
Xaihi (Support: Cryo)	The best support for cryo-based teams. Besides healing, she provides cryo charges, allowing you to effectively utilize Fluorite's combo and her ultimate.
Wisdom (Caster: Nature)	Fluorite triggers her combo skill in both Intelligence and Willpower modes thanks to the charge defeat by natureAdditionally, it slows enemies, which works well with the Imprisoned status effect or the Commander's Tie.
Tantan (Castor: Cryo)	Her combat ability applies ice stacks, and if she creates multiple whirlpools, enemies gain elemental vulnerability. She can also slow enemy targets with her talent and stun them with her ultimate, preventing them from moving.
Gilberta (Support: Nature)	Gilberta is a powerful addition to almost any team thanks to her pulling and activation of Arts Vulnerability. She also inflicts a significant amount of Nature Damage, allowing Fluorite to use combos more often.

Rotation

Fluorite's gameplay is built around using cooldown abilities to inflict damage, but a few nuances make her gameplay somewhat more challenging:

• Due to the combo's very long cooldown (40 seconds), try to use it wisely, hitting as many enemies as possible. Also, make sure the enemies already have the elemental affixes you want to copy.
• The ult works on a similar principle, but you should use the lizard's battle skill before it - if the explosive is activated by the ult, it will explode with greater damage and radius.

Based on this, the rotation is as follows:

1. Have your allies apply Cryo or Nature stacks to your opponents, ensuring there are at least two of them. When playing with Nature-based teams or with Yvonne, you can use Fluorite's own battle skill.
2. As soon as the enemies have two charges, press the combo - this will add another level of infliction.
3. At the end of your rotation, activate your ultimate to apply the final stack. If you used the skill beforehand, the ultimate will cause a large-radius explosion.

Priority for skill upgrading

Ult ≥ Combat Skill > Combo Skill > Basic Attack

The heroine deals the most damage with her ultimate, as it has four ticks. She also frequently uses her counter-attack and combo, but the latter is less demanding to level up due to its infrequent use. Leveling up her counter-attack is not necessary, as she rarely plays on the field.

• "Apex Prankster" Ult — strikes with nature in four ticks. If it hits an enemy with two levels of infliction , places another stack similar to the existing ones.
• "Tiny Surprise" battle skill - throws explosives, detonating them after a few seconds and applying infliction.
• "Free Giveaway" Combo Skill - triggered if the enemy has at least two charges of Cryo or Nature infliction.
• "Signature Gun Kata" Basic Attack - Fires multiple shots from cannons, dealing Nature damage and staggering enemies.

Fluorite Upgrading Materials

To level up the heroine and upgrade her abilities, you will need the following resources:

In Arknights Endfield, Fluorite is a good budget secondary damage dealer who can provide the main damage dealer with a sufficient number of infliction stacks. However, to play her, you will have to get used to the long cooldowns of her abilities and the order of applying charges to use them correctly.
