Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner runs from October 29 to November 19, 2026, featuring the six-star Operator Tangtang in Ancestral Spring Flows Anew RE-Factor Headhunting #1. Her accompanying weapon issue has Brigand’s Calling as the rate-up six-star handcannon.
Tangtang and Brigand’s Calling have separate draw systems. Ancestral Spring Flows Anew is the character banner; Tender Sprig Issue is the weapon banner. Here’s how their pools, guarantees and bonus rewards work, so you can choose where to use your pulls.
Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner dates and requirements
Ancestral Spring Flows Anew opened on October 29 at 12:00 and closes on November 19 at 11:59 server time. The Asia server uses UTC+8 and the Americas/Europe server uses UTC-5, so check your own countdown rather than another region’s.
Finish Chapter I Process I: Break the Siege to unlock participation, then open RE-Factor Headhunting for Tangtang. To draw for Brigand’s Calling instead, choose Tender Sprig Issue.
| Reward | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Tangtang, six-star Operator | Ancestral Spring Flows Anew Headhunting |
| Brigand’s Calling, six-star Handcannon | Tender Sprig weapon issue |
| Bonus Urgent Recruitment | 30, 60 and 90 counted Headhunting attempts |
| Tangtang’s Token | Every 240 counted Headhunting attempts |
Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner: available six-star Operators
Six-star results can include Tangtang, Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite and Pogranichnik. Tangtang has the rate-up, but the other listed Operators are still possible six-star results. The dedicated banner notice gives a specific one-time guarantee for the featured character.
The Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner guarantees Tangtang within the first 120 Headhunting attempts. This applies once across Ancestral Spring Flows Anew banners. Your progress towards it carries over if the same banner family returns.
Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner free recruitment rewards
At 30, 60 and 90 Headhunting attempts, you receive a free ten-pull through Urgent Recruitment. That’s three bonus ten-pulls in total. Each milestone can trigger only once across Ancestral Spring Flows Anew banners, but unused Urgent Recruitment attempts are saved for future banners in that same series.
The longer-term reward is Tangtang’s Token x1 for every 240 Headhunting attempts across the Ancestral Spring Flows Anew series. Unlike the one-time Urgent Recruitment bonuses, this token reward repeats every 240 attempts. The official notice confirms that attempt totals carry into future banners of this series; the separate weapon issue has its own progression rules.
Brigand’s Calling and the Tender Sprig pool
Tender Sprig Issue RE-Factor Issue #1 runs alongside the character banner and features the six-star Brigand’s Calling Handcannon. Its draws award weapons, not Operators, so it cannot give you Tangtang.
The other six-star weapons in the pool are Clannibal, Wedge, Chivalric Virtues, Thermite Cutter, Sundered Prince and JET. Tender Sprig also awards Arms OC: Tender Sprig and Brigand’s Calling in alternating order after specified numbers of RE-Factor Issue attempts. Those reward milestones, and your accumulated issue attempts, carry into later Tender Sprig banners.
Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner: weapon guarantees
For Tender Sprig Issue #1, the fourth issue guarantees a six-star weapon if none was obtained in the preceding three consecutive issues. This particular six-star guarantee is limited to Issue #1 and does not carry across to other weapon issues.
A separate rule provides the rate-up six-star weapon by the eighth issue if it was absent from the first seven. This rate-up guarantee can trigger once across Tender Sprig Issue banners and carries progress to future issues in that family. Open the current issue Details page to inspect your individual draw history.
Tangtang’s Ultimate and the next banner
The Sanctuary of Ink patch clarified Tangtang’s OLDEN STARE Ultimate. It applies Immobilization to enemies in its area, stopping them from acting for the duration. The skill itself was not changed; this is a description correction.
The Arknights Endfield Tangtang banner remains available until November 19, even after Argent Flow joins Chartered Headhunting on November 5. They’re different character banners, and Tangtang’s 120-attempt guarantee applies specifically to Ancestral Spring Flows Anew.
