What to expect in Arknights Endfield 1.3

Version 1.3 adds two new characters to the playable roster: Mi Fu, a Physical Guard, and Camille, a Heat Vanguard. Both of these are six-star characters and will get their own respective banners. Mi Fu’s banner will run immediately after the patch goes live and Camille will rotate in on June 26.

There’ll also be a new map to explore, Sword Vault Dale, as part of a side mission, as well as narrative quests for Mi Fu and Camille. Additionally, there’ll be new endgame event content, putting your team-building skills to the test: Contingency Contract. (If you play the original Arknights, I know a shiver just went up your spine. I’m with you.)

This patch will also include quality-of-life changes, like the ability to artifice gear faster (thank God), and easier ways to claim activity points for your daily tasks.
