Pogranichnik is pretty much the best character to have for Physical teams as of the 1.0 version of Arknights Endfield. He’s got everything you’d want from a Vanguard: SP recovery, damage, and the awe-inspiring aura of a seasoned military commander. Still, Pogranichnik won’t do much without the right gear equipped, so in this Endfield guide, we’ll be going over some item recommendations for Pogranichnik, including some early game options as well as his best-in-slot equipment for later on in the game.

Weapon
Description
Best in Slot
Never Rest
When the Wielder recovers SP with their own skills, they and other Operators deal increased Physical DMG.
5-Star Alternative
Thermite Cutter
When the Wielder’s skill recovers SP or grants Link, the entire team gains bonus ATK.
Never Rest is an amazing weapon for any Physical Vanguard, but especially for those who primarily scale off Will. Vanguard characters will always restore SP for the team, and with Never Rest equipped, they’ll trigger the weapon’s passive every time. Pogranichnik’s best teams in Endfield deal primarily Physical damage, so you can’t go wrong by using Never Rest.
Thermite Cutter is the closest 5-star weapon we have to Never Rest, except this one provides a general ATK boost. This means it will also benefit characters who inflict Physical Statuses but deal Arts damage, like Ember.
If you don’t have either of these weapons, then anything else that increases your Will or provides some other team buff will do. The only weapons you should avoid are ones that buff their wielder’s Arts damage since Pogranichnik deals purely Physical damage.
Best Gear Sets for Pogranichnik in Endfield

Set
Effect
Frontiers Set (Gold)
Improves Combo Skill cooldown rate. When the wearer recovers SP with a skill, the team gains bonus DMG.
Catastrophe Set (Purple)
Improves Ultimate Gain Efficiency. The first time the wearer uses their Battle Skill in a fight, recover 50 SP.
Much like Never Rest, the Frontiers Set is designed to buff the damage output of the entire team when its wearer recovers SP with one of their skills. With the Frontiers Set effect and Never Rest, Pogranichnik will be able to significantly increase the DPS of the team, especially when his own Fervent Morale buff is active.
If you’re yet to start crafting Gold gear, the Catastrophe set is a decent alternative. This won’t boost your team’s DPS, but it will smoothen out your rotation at the beginning of a fight while reducing the downtime on Pogranichnik’s Ultimate. Triggering Pogranichnik’s Battle Skill and Combo Skill together on a target with 4 Vulnerable stacks will restore 48 SP, but with the Catastrophe set, this shoots up to 98 SP. This will immediately trigger Fervent Morale, which will give your team a nice boost to Physical and Arts DMG.
