Lifeng is a 6-star Physical character in Arknights: Endfield. Lifeng's weapon type is Polearm and class is Guard. Faction: Hongsan.

On our Arknights: Endfield tier list Lifeng is B tier, 19th of the 32 characters ranked, from where 19 current tier lists put Lifeng.

Other Physical characters in Arknights: Endfield: Catcher, Chen Qianyu, Da Pan, Endministrator, Mi Fu, Pogranichnik and 2 more.

Lifeng can play either sub-attacker or pure support depending on what a team needs, applying Physical Vulnerability and picking up Link to buff whichever ally's skill or ultimate goes off next.

She's fully usable without any duplicates, which is rare for a character this flexible. She works best paired with Mi Fu, since Mi Fu alone doesn't apply much Vulnerability on her own.

Pairs well with: Mi Fu.

"I came to Endfield to learn. But ... there's way too much to take in.

Gotta work even harder!"

Lifeng, born in Wuling City, now interns at the Specialist Tech Division of Endfield Industries.

Back in Wuling, Lifeng's mind and personalities made him popular with his peers and elders.

Years of guidance from Da Pan have honed his spear fighting skills, arming him for his pursuit of justice.

Few would guess from his cheerful demeanor the shadow he carries — an accident that shattered his once-happy family and cost him an arm.

Yet hardship has never dimmed his fire. He continues to grow with sincerity and passion, yearning for the day he can take on greater responsibilities.

Someday, he will stand tall on his own and return to protect the home that waits for him.

"One day, I'll be capable enough to take on the toughest missions.

Please look forward to that day, Endmin."

Lifeng is a native of Wuling City. He voluntarily chose to work at Endfield Industries and is currently interning at the Specialist Tech Division.

The youth exhibited an innocent naivety and sincerity that far exceeded our expectations - I rarely received an employment form with such details about the applicant's personal life.

In fact, in compliance to the articles of our Privacy Policy, I requested the youth to redact parts that may be considered too private for disclosure.

His smiles are genuine and he is a highly empathetic individual.

Despite being an intern, he has agreed to take on many tasks and he also has an extremely useful skill set.

Signing him onboard is something every HR Assistant would love to see.

File 1

It was another busy day as usual aboard Dijiang.

Not many people took notice of the new operator.

Lifeng also did not intend to do anything spectacular.

But he soon caught some attention by the third day he came aboard the ship — People started talking about a lad doing morning exercises in the Growth Chamber.

On arrival, the team found an Anasa meditating cross-legged in the chamber, eyes shut, breath steady.

Those who were there reported seeing a soft, gentle glow emanating from his body.

No one knew if they were seeing things or if the phenomenon was a result of artificial lighting from the cultivation tanks...

"He's Sarkaz, that's why. Nothing to be worried about.

It must be his 'Spirit'!" "It might be some secret Yanese technique.

I think it's called the 'Ki'..."

"It doesn't matter what it's called. The moment he sat down ...

it brought about a vibe of serenity... It's like a form of artsy power that made me wanna call him 'Young Master'..."

"Young Master? I think he's more like the Young Warrior from the martial arts movies that Chen showed us yesterday."

"Shh! I think he heard us! And he's turning around!

QUICK! HIDE..."

After a brief, noisy moment, the lance made a few random slashes on the lighting module.

Three fluid inlets and outlets of the control module were split open.

They saw the youth fumbling to get back to his feet to wave off the white, billowing smoke around him.

The youth then stood at attention: "I'm so sorry!

I thought nobody was using this place!"

They realized he was just a boy, but their realizations quickly gave way to confusion: "How do you look so young and old at the same time?!"

Lifeng looked confused. "Because... the Anasas are an old and wise race, but I'm still a little young...?"

It was an enlightening answer - Meaningful in some way, but also wholly incapable of answering the question!

Lifeng the Young Master (or Young Warrior) gave off an aura of rarely observed contradiction.

He was ancient yet young, stiff yet flexible.

These quirks were further verified as people started to befriend him.

The first to notice Lifeng's ability was provisional combat instructor Lil' Dodge.

The instructor gave nothing but praise about Operator Lifeng's spear fighting skills after a friendly spar.

The instructor (notorious for strictness) lavished extremely rare praises in Operator Lifeng's multi-dimensional assessment report.

Things like: "Lance strikes way faster than the average"; "Hits with just the right force"; "A warrior of rare quality"; and — "I really wanna know where he learned how to fight!"

Lifeng was extremely surprised by these commendations, and said that he was but a little boy playing with sticks when compared to his master, Da Pan.

After becoming the target of endless questioning (and all sorts of bribes), Da Pan finally agreed to reveal certain secrets.

The Ursus confessed he was not good with children but Zhuang Fangyi gave him the important task of training Lifeng.

Finding himself stuck with an energetic and inquisitive kid who followed him everywhere, Da Pan found a solution.

He purchased over 600 video tapes of folk festivals and plays from a Hongshan antique store and allowed Lifeng to watch TV all day.

He did not expect the kid to become engrossed with what he saw and took it all in.

One day, Lifeng grabbed a cloth drying pole to fool around with.

It was at that moment when Da Pan realized the boy's potential.

"Let's just keep it down," Da Pan waved his meaty paw around, "The kid barely scratched the surface of the martial arts.

Sure, his attacks look great and the flourishes are pretty, but true combat got nothing to do with that."

"So what is true combat all about?"

"It's all about 'knowing'. True combat is about defeating the opponent, not the spear.

A spear wielder studies the spear manuals.

A true fighter studies the foe."

"That's really deep, Master Da Pan. How exactly do we study that?"

"Well, it boils down to personality. Just you watch.

He's just a kid, but Lifeng has the patience for it.

And he's a meticulous one, too."
