Arknights: Endfield Boss Nefarith Overview

Nefarith is a major boss in Arknights: Endfield version 1.2. She appears as the leader of the Bonekrushers (Landbreakers faction) in the Wuling region storyline. You will face Nefarith in Chapter II – Process V: Tremors of the Crashing Tide.

Arknights: Endfield Boss Nefarith Overview

 

When it comes to the boss battle, Nefarith has two phases, each with different attack styles. She is a powerful Landbreaker enemy with high resistance to Physical, Heat, Electric, Cryo, and Nature damage. Because of this, you cannot rely only on damage. You need a well-built team and a smart strategy to defeat her and continue the story while earning rewards.

Key Mechanic for Defeating Nefarith: Xiranite Support

Before jumping into the Nefarith boss battle, you need to understand the key mechanic: Xiranite Support. It is the best way to survive longer and deal more damage during the fight. Therefore, Zhuang Fangyi plays an important role here, as her Xiranite support is essential for defeating Nefarith. Here is how Xiranite helps:

Key Mechanic for Defeating Nefarith: Xiranite Support

 

  • Use Xiranite to perform a high jump, which helps you dodge attacks and quickly move closer to the enemy.

  • Use the high jump, then team up with Zhuang Fangyi to unleash a lightning strike that interrupts nearby enemies.

Nefarith “Bonekrusher” – Mechanics and Strategies 

In this phase, the core Nefarith mechanics revolve around her humanoid form, where she uses sword attacks, Æther energy waves, cone AoEs, and projectiles. She can also summon tentacles or other enemies during the battle. 

Nefarith “Bonekrusher”

 

Main Attacks & Counters:

Æther Energy Waves – You cannot dodge them on the ground. Use Xiranite Support to jump and avoid them in the air.

High Leap + Charge Attack – Nefarith jumps high and charges. Interrupt with Xiranite Support jump → dive attack to deal big stagger damage.

Spacetime-Stop Attack – Nefarith disappears, freezes time, then attacks. Use Xiranite jump as she blinks away to dodge and reposition safely.

Cone AoEs & Other Attacks – Jump over cone attacks or move out of the way. Keep your distance from bombs and ranged attacks. Save your strongest skills for stagger moments, especially when you see red interrupt signs.

Strategies to Defeat:

  • Focus on using Xiranite to interrupt whenever you see a red ring or charge attack.

  • Don’t try to deal damage all the time; first learn the boss attack patterns.

  • If tentacles or adds appear, stay in a good position, avoid overlapping attacks, and deal with them one by one. The fight has no strict timer, so playing it safe is fine.

Nefarith “Conqueror” – Mechanics and Strategies

After defeating Phase 1 Nefarith “Bonekrusher,” you will enter Phase 2 of the boss battle. During this phase, Nefarith transforms into a more monstrous “dragon” form, which is actually a giant crocodile-like creature with Æther wings. In this phase, she gains flight, stronger spacetime control, and wider area attacks.

Nefarith “Conqueror”

 

Main Attacks & Counters

Æther Shield – Constantly reduces incoming damage. Interrupt her charge-up attacks (red indicators). Use Xiranite dive to break the shield and stagger her.

Spacetime Freeze / Tear – Immobilizes operators or stops time for a big hit on the active one. Close the gap quickly with Xiranite and interrupt during the charge window.

Flight / Breath Attack – Nefarith grows wings and flies in for breath or slam attacks. Jump with Xiranite Support to avoid and interrupt for a big damage window.

Floor Slam / Crack + Combustion – She slams the ground, causing initial damage, then applies a Combustion debuff. Jump immediately with Xiranite and interrupt the second part to prevent the team-wide debuff.

Roar / Knockback – A pink flash appears before the roar. Use Xiranite jump at the right time to avoid it.

Ankhor Prisons – Traps your teammates. Destroy the Ankhor objects to free them while dodging attacks. After freeing them, move away quickly to avoid a strong follow-up attack.

Strategies to Defeat:

  • Use Xiranite jump to move quickly, dodge attacks, and interrupt when you see red charge signs.

  • Keep interrupting her charge and shield moves to create damage windows and staggers.

  • When adds or Ankhor Prisons appear at low HP, handle them carefully and don’t rush.

  • Use burst damage during stagger windows after successful interrupts (flight or shield breaks).

Best Team Setups to Defeat the Nefarith Boss

The most recommended teams for battles with the Nefarith boss in Arknights: Endfield are the Electric-type teams built around Zhuang Fangyi (Electric Striker). She uses Xiranite jump support for interrupts and damage, making her the core of the team for defeating Nefarith. So, here is the recommended team from our Arknights: Endfield Nefarith boss fight guide:

Core Electric Burst Team with Zhuang Fangyi 

Zhuang Fangyi + Perlica + Arclight + Antal

How the Team Helps:

  • Zhuang Fangyi: Uses Xiranite jumps to interrupt Nefarith’s attacks and dodge time-freeze or AoE in both phases. Consumes Electrification stacks for massive Battle Skill damage while staying aggressive and safe.

  • Perlica: Applies Electrification quickly and reduces cooldowns, allowing Zhuang Fangyi to consume stacks more often and deal consistent burst damage during boss openings.

  • Arclight: Generates SP and boosts Electric damage, enabling the team to use skills more frequently and maintain strong damage uptime.

  • Antal: Amplifies Electric damage and increases enemy damage taken, significantly improving overall team output and strengthening Zhuang Fangyi’s burst potential against Nefarith.

Alternative Operators: You can use Avywenna instead of Antal. Avywenna helps Zhuang build stacks faster while adding extra Electric burst damage.

Arknights: Endfield Recommend Weapons

The right weapons significantly boost your team’s damage and efficiency. Below are the best picks for each operator in this composition.

Arknights: Endfield Nefarith Boss Battle Recommended Gear

Since the team is built around Zhuang Fangyi for Xiranite support and Electric damage, the best gear set for this fight is the Xiranflow Gear set. 

 

Xiranflow 3-Piece Set Bonus: When equipped, it increases the wearer’s ATK by 10%. Whenever the wearer consumes Electrification, they gain buff stacks based on the reaction level. Each stack increases Electric DMG by 15% for 25 seconds. You can stack up to 3 times, and each stack has its own duration.

Arknights: Endfield Nefarith Boss Battle Recommended Gear

With these Electric damage and ATK buffs, Xiranflow is the recommended gear set for all team members.

Arknights: Endfield Team Rotation for Defeating Nefarith

  • Start with basic attacks on Zhuang Fangyi to build initial stacks.  

  • Use Perlica Combo Skill → apply Electrification.  

  • Follow with Zhuang Fangyi Combo Skill → consume stacks for big damage.  

  • Use Arclight Combo (and ult when ready) for SP generation and extra Electric infliction.  

  • Activate Antal skill for team amp and susceptibility.  

  • Repeat the cycle: Perlica → Zhuang Battle Skill during boss openings.  

  • Weave in Xiranite jumps from Zhuang to interrupt red zones, charges, and time-freeze attacks.

Save your big burst damage for stagger windows. Keep attacking, but stay mobile and dodge sideways or use Xiranite jumps to avoid sweeps in the Conqueror phase.

Conclusion

That wraps up the Nefarith boss guide for Arknights: Endfield. Master her patterns, time your Xiranite jumps, and build your Electric team around Zhuang Fangyi to secure victory in both phases. Stay patient, play smart, and focus on clean interrupts and burst windows.
