Typhoeus is a 6-star Nature Striker released in Arknights: Endfield Version 1.5. She wields an Arts Unit and enters Hovering to launch consecutive aerial attacks while moving, dealing multi-target Nature Burst DMG.
Typhoeus is an on-field Nature Burst DPS whose rotation revolves around Nature Infliction, Signs, Hunting Arrows, and Power Shots. Because she cannot apply the Nature Infliction needed to start this loop by herself, her teammates and skill timing directly affect her damage. This updated Typhoeus build guide covers her live-server skills, talents, weapons, gear, teams, rotations, Potentials, and upgrade materials.
Typhoeus's Winter Hunt banner opened on September 2, 2026. If you need in-game currency or other resources during Version 1.5, you can top up Arknights: Endfield on GamsGo after checking the server, top-up amount, and order details.
Typhoeus Character Overview
Typhoeus is a 6-star Nature Striker who uses an Arts Unit. Agility is her primary attribute and Will is her secondary attribute. At Level 90, she has 5,495 HP, 312 ATK, 97 Strength, 174 Agility, 99 Intellect, and 119 Will. Her main damage comes from Power Shots and other aerial attacks performed during Hovering.
How Typhoeus's Core Mechanic Works
Typhoeus can hold up to eight Signs and four Hunting Arrows. During her Battle Skill, an Aerial Basic Attack that hits an enemy with Nature Infliction consumes one stack, grants one Sign, and restores additional Ultimate Energy. If a Hunting Arrow is available, the same attack consumes one Arrow and becomes a Power Shot that forcibly triggers Nature Burst. A Power Shot deals additional Burst damage when it also consumes Nature Infliction.
Reaching eight Signs enables Rampant Thorns. The Combo Skill converts every two Signs into one Hunting Arrow, refills all four Arrows, resets Typhoeus's remaining Aerial Basic Attacks, and creates a Barrage Array. Enemies inside the area take continuous Nature DMG, are slowed, and receive increased Nature Burst DMG. For the strongest damage window, apply team buffs and debuffs before converting the Signs and spending the four Hunting Arrows.
Typhoeus Skill Upgrade Priority
Based on Typhoeus's live-server kit, upgrade her skills in this order: Battle Skill > Combo Skill > Basic Attack > Ultimate. Her Ultimate is powerful, but its 200 Energy cost makes it less frequent than her Battle Skill and Combo Skill.
Best Weapons for Typhoeus
Agility is Typhoeus's primary attribute, but suitable Arts Units are limited because many options favor Intellect or Will. Her practical weapon order is Umbra of the Frigid Eventide > Suffering's End > Detonation Unit.
Signature Weapon: Umbra of the Frigid Eventide
Umbra of the Frigid Eventide is Typhoeus's best-in-slot Arts Unit. It improves Agility, ATK, Arts DMG, and Arts Intensity, covering both her overall scaling and the forced Nature Bursts produced by Power Shots. Its Detonate effect also matches her kit: using the Battle Skill with four Hunting Arrows lets consecutive Power Shots repeatedly trigger Nature Burst and maintain the weapon's offensive bonus through her main damage window.
5-Star Alternative: Suffering's End
Fallback Weapon: Detonation Unit
Best Weapon Essences for Typhoeus
For Umbra of the Frigid Eventide, prioritize ATK Boost, Agility Boost, and Detonate. For Suffering's End, use Agility Boost, Nature DMG Boost, and Detonate. Detonation Unit works best with Main Attribute Boost, Arts Intensity Boost, and Detonate.
Before farming, open the Weapon Essence preview for each Deposit and confirm that it can drop the exact three effects required by your weapon. This prevents spending Sanity on a location that cannot produce the complete combination.
Best Gear for Typhoeus
Typhoeus's confirmed endgame setup uses three Deep Rampart pieces with LYNX Slab in the remaining Kit slot. This build strengthens Arts DMG, stacks Arts Intensity through her forced Nature Bursts, and adds Main Attribute percentage for additional ATK.
Typhoeus Best-in-Slot Gear and Stat Priority
Use the following four-piece combination:
Deep Rampart increases Arts DMG Dealt by 16%. Triggering Nature Burst or Cryo Burst also grants 16 Arts Intensity for 20 seconds, stacking up to three times with separate durations. Typhoeus can maintain the stacks through the forced Nature Bursts from her Power Shots. LYNX Slab fills the fourth slot because its Main Attribute percentage converts her high Agility into additional ATK.
Prioritize Agility or Main Attribute > ATK > Arts Intensity > Nature DMG or Arts DMG. A strong off-piece with useful attributes can outperform a weak fourth Deep Rampart item because only three pieces are required for the set effect.
Best Teams for Typhoeus
Premium Typhoeus Nature Team
This hypercarry team gives Typhoeus enough Nature Infliction to reach eight Signs in one rotation. Arcane in Will form can apply two Nature Inflictions through her Battle Skill and Combo Skill, Liino provides ATK Boost, Nature Amp, healing, and SP support, and Perlica applies Electrification while helping trigger Liino's Combo Skill.
Preserve Nature Infliction until Typhoeus can consume it with her aerial attacks. Arcane's Combo Skill should reapply Nature Infliction before Typhoeus's first aerial hit: using it too early can overcap Signs, while using it too late can leave Typhoeus at seven Signs and delay the next Combo Skill.
Budget Typhoeus Nature Team
The goal of this budget team is not to maximize every operator's personal damage, but to ensure the target has enough Nature Infliction before each Typhoeus Battle Skill. Fluorite and Antal can take turns refreshing Infliction, while Perlica adds damage and reaction support.
If survivability becomes an issue, replace Perlica or Antal with an available healer. Typhoeus benefits from ranged and aerial combat, but Hovering does not make her immune to damage, so difficult stages may still require healing or protection.
Typhoeus Nature Hypercarry Team with Fluorite
This version may overcap Signs, but the additional Nature Infliction strengthens Prey Checklist and Power Shots. If Fluorite's Combo Skill and Ultimate are both available, use the Ultimate first so her Combo Skill can still restore Ultimate Energy.
Typhoeus Dual DPS Team
The Dual DPS setup can require almost three full SP bars for one complete sequence. Use it when both Typhoeus and Arcane are invested and the stage gives you enough time to prepare the burst window.
Typhoeus Team Rotation
Premium Hypercarry Rotation
This returns Typhoeus to eight Signs and lets the sequence loop. Do not activate Rampant Thorns only because its prompt appears. Convert the Signs after buffs, debuffs, SP, and Nature Infliction are ready so the four Hunting Arrows are spent inside the Barrage Array's Nature Burst vulnerability window.
Budget Team Rotation
Fluorite and Antal have less consistent cooldown alignment than Arcane. Typhoeus generally needs at least two Nature Inflictions and one external Arts Burst to finish this sequence at eight Signs.
Typhoeus Upgrade Materials
Total Promotion Materials
Total Materials for All Four Combat Skills
These totals assume all four combat skills are fully upgraded. If resources are limited, finish Piercing Arrows of the Woods first and Rampant Thorns second before investing heavily in the Basic Attack and Ultimate.
Conclusion
Typhoeus is a Nature main DPS built around Nature Infliction, Signs, Hunting Arrows, and Hovering attacks. She excels against multiple targets, uses her Combo Skill to increase the Nature Burst DMG enemies take, and then concentrates her damage through her Ultimate and enhanced aerial attacks.
Prioritize her Battle Skill, followed by the Combo Skill, Basic Attack, and Ultimate. Umbra of the Frigid Eventide is her best weapon, Suffering's End is the strongest alternative, and Detonation Unit is a usable fallback. Her endgame equipment uses three Deep Rampart pieces with LYNX Slab, while the main stat priority is Agility or Main Attribute, ATK, Arts Intensity, and Nature or Arts DMG.
Typhoeus needs a reliable Nature Infliction source to reach eight Signs consistently. Arcane in Will form provides the cleanest setup, Liino supplies ATK Boost, Nature Amp, healing, and SP support, and the final slot can provide another debuff or reaction trigger. If you need in-game resources, you can top up Arknights: Endfield through GamsGo. Check the top-up amount, server information, processing time, and order details before payment.

FAQ
When Does the Typhoeus Banner Start?
Typhoeus's Winter Hunt Featured Headhunting banner opens with the Version 1.5 Dreamscape of Wind and Snow update and runs until September 30, 2026, at 11:59, subject to your server's schedule. The Feathered Bolts, Tempered Edge login event will also award five matching Headhunting Permits for cumulative check-ins.
Is Typhoeus Worth Pulling?
Typhoeus is worth considering if you need an on-field Nature Burst DPS or already have Arcane, Liino, Fluorite, or another reliable Nature Infliction source. She offers ranged Hovering attacks, multi-target coverage, and a Barrage Array that increases the Nature Burst DMG enemies receive. Accounts focused on Physical, Heat, or Cryo teams do not need to build her immediately.
Does Typhoeus Need Umbra of the Frigid Eventide?
No. Umbra of the Frigid Eventide is her best weapon because it supplies Agility, ATK, Arts DMG, and Arts Intensity, but Suffering's End already covers her important Agility, Nature DMG, and Arts Intensity needs. Detonation Unit can also serve as a fallback if neither option is available.
Is Typhoeus Viable at Potential 0?
Yes. Typhoeus's core Hovering attacks, Sign generation, Hunting Arrow conversion, and Nature Burst mechanics are all included in her base kit, so Potential 0 can complete her main damage loop. Potentials mainly improve her numbers or smooth out the rotation and are not required to use her effectively.
Does Typhoeus Need Nature Teammates?
You do not need a full Nature team, but you should include at least one operator who can apply Nature Infliction consistently. Typhoeus's Battle Skill consumes Nature Infliction to accumulate Signs. Without a reliable applier, her Combo Skill activates more slowly and she generates fewer Hunting Arrows, reducing her overall damage. Support and healing slots can use operators of other elements when the stage calls for them.
