With such a heavy focus on the various elements of combat you’ll be coming up against with your teams of your four favorite operators In Arknights: Endfield and only so many ways to heal them using the resources you find all around the overworld as you explore, you’ll need a healer operator on the team before long.
Your very first healer in Arknights: Endfield is free, with Snowshine coming to the aid of anyone playing the game to help keep your potent DPS powerhouses in good shape even after the Buckwheat Powder supplies have begun to run a bit low.
Best Snowshine Weapons And Essence
Sometimes the free characters in a gacha game aren’t the best for the long haul, but thankfully, Arknights: Endfield gave us an early favorite healer when it comes to Snowshine, a five-star Cryo great sword user capable of inflicting just as much damage to the enemies as she’s healing on your team from said enemies.
Arknights: Endfield – All Tasks You Should Complete Daily
Your checklist for every task you should do daily in Arknights: Endfield to get the most value from your account.
Using such a heavy weapon as a defender type of operator, you’ll find that Snowshine focuses primarily on building her Strength as her main attribute with a mind for Will as well, since building her Will can help improve the potency of some of her more powerful healing moves that’ll assist the team out on the battlefield.
Snowshine is your very first healer character in Arknights: Endfield, provided for free after unlocking Chen Qianyu as part of the early game’s main story. Her joining up enables you to create a full four-operator team for the first time, where you’ll see her to be a pretty potent healer when she’s not busy slamming her great swords and shields around on the battlefield.
There are plenty of strengths that come into play when adding Snowshine to your Arknights: Endfield team comps. Running her on any elemental team is a good choice, but Cryo-based squads benefit especially from the duality in her Cryo applications and fierce physical damage when she’s not busy healing up the other more forefront DPS characters in your team.
Best Weapons For Snowshine

Sundered Prince |
Six-Star |

While you won’t often be focusing on Snowshine’s outright offense, it’s still a great idea to make her hit as hard as possible when she does, which is when the Sundered Prince great sword is the best weapon for Snowshine. It makes her Final Strike more potent if she’s your controlled operator that deals a great amount of extra Stagger. |
|
Former Finery |
Six-Star |
|
While the focus on Will wouldn’t have been our first choice, the other stat boosts you’ll get from having Snowshine use the Former Finery great sword as her best weapon does provide a massive boost to her own HP and how effective she’ll be at healing the rest of the team as well. |
|
Finishing Call |
Five-Star |
|
Finishing call is Snowshine’s signature weapon in Arknights: Endfield, so of course it’s a good fit for her in the long run. Having it equipped makes Snowshine a more potent healer, too, in addition to giving her more HP herself so she can stay safer for longer and try to help mitigate further incoming damage during your toughest fights. It’s much like the Former Finery, but with a lower ranking and Strength boost instead of Will. |

Snowshine Best Teams And Abilities
The very best way to most effectively use Snowshine in Arknights: Endfield is by putting her into an elemental team that focuses primarily on Cryo applications and damage, especially if she’s paired up with other, stronger Cryo users like Last Rite, whose combat is improved by having stacks of Cryo application across the board. With Xaihi and Ardelia both along for the ride to provide good affliction amplification, Sustain, and Arts susceptibility, this frosty foursome is nigh unstopable.
If you’re more of a free-to-play player looking to keep things limited when it comes to spending on Headhunting, then the very first team of four the game gives you is more than capable of covering your bases. The Endministrator will always be along for the ride with good physical damage to bring to the table, which Chen Qianyu is more than capable of compounding on to make combat a breeze. Perlica rounds out the team with her Electricity applications, so you’ll have plenty of ways to play with the Arts without breaking the bank.
Snowshine Abilities Overview And Upgrade Priority
While Snowshine is largely a healer, you’ll still find some active combat skill in her kit to keep her safe so she can keep the rest of your team safe in turn.
- While a slower mover using a great sword as her primary weapon type, Snowshine’s Basic Attack can deal up to three blows of good physical damage. If you’re controlling her actively, her Final Strike deals a cool 23 Stagger.
- As a defender, her Battle Skill focuses on keeping the team safe by summoning a shield to block attacks for herself and any teammates nearby. The shield deals a retaliatory hit to any enemies immediately in front of Snowshine when she uses it, slamming them with Cryo affliction as a result.
- Her Combo Skill helps more directly with healing, throwing a healing item at the operator you’re controlling to provide HP replenishment to your controller operator and any that happen to be nearby. When your controlled operator is below 60%, Snowshine will offer to help.
- Finally, her Ultimate is an impressive Cryo AoE move, with Snowshine blasting into the air and slamming back down with her shield to deal Cryo damage and leave a lasting area of snow DoT area where she landed.
To maximize the amount of healing you’ll get from Snowshine no matter which team you’ve got her on, improving her Combo Skill first and foremost is likely a good idea. From there, upgrade her Ultimate and Basic Attack before focusing too much on her Battle Skill – it gets more potent and worth building once you’ve gotten her Combat Talents built a bit by repeatedly pulling her on the Headhunting banner.
As your healer, you’ll see Snowshine’s Combat Talents focusing largely on her healing capabiltiies. Her first Combat Talent makes her healing more effective for teammates at or below roughly half of their max HP, while Snowshine’s second Combat Talent boosts how effective her Battle Skill is, returning even more SP in the process as well.
