The first monthly pass weapon of Arknights: Endfield 1.1 — Glorious Memory — arrives tomorrow afternoon. Short verdict: it is currently the best monthly card weapon for long-term Physical team players, especially Chen mains. Low cost, near full-potential Fuyao performance, sometimes even better in certain windows.
Weapon Stats Overview
- Main: Agility (large)
- Sub: Crit Rate
- Third: Nightfall (minor ATK) + Ultimate DMG bonus
→ Made for Chen. Other Physical carries need not apply.
Damage Comparison (Chen “4-Shatter + 4-Impact” rotation)
Test assumptions: full stat chain (ATK buffs, team buffs, shatter, stagger, etc.). Real combat error ~50–100 dmg, trend reliable.
Total Expected Damage (with crits):
- Max-potential Fuyao
- High-roll Glorious Memory
- Steel
- Low-roll Glorious Memory
- Zero-potential Fuyao
Ultimate Damage Only (no execution):
- High-roll Glorious Memory
- Max-potential Fuyao
- Steel
Non-crit situation (realistic long fight):
- Max-potential Fuyao
- High-roll Glorious Memory
- Steel
Key advantage: Glorious Memory’s Ultimate DMG bonus is hyper-focused on Chen’s burst window + has true ATK scaling.
Who Should Get It?
- Already have max Fuyao → Skip unless you love the look
- Have decent Steel → No need
- Have low/zero Fuyao or Steel → Strongly recommend Glorious Memory (best starting point)
- Brand new Physical/Chen player → First monthly weapon to target
Bottom line: If Chen + Physical is your main team for the next few versions, Glorious Memory is likely your most cost-effective weapon upgrade in 1.1.
