How to use this recruitment calculator
Match the tags on your in-game recruitment screen. Your selected tags, star filter, and focused operator are saved in the browser and restored when you return.
- Choose your game server (EN / CN / JP / KR) with the buttons above the tag grid. This is separate from the site language (/zh, /ja, /ko in the URL).
- Click up to 6 tags that appear on your recruitment. In-game each slot allows 3 tags; use this tool to explore all tags you care about across slots.
- Use Quick tag search: type a tag name, press Enter or pick a suggestion to add it.
- Read the result: guaranteed minimum rarity. If you see a 5★ or 6★ guarantee, set recruitment time to 9 hours in-game.
- In the combo table, click a row to focus on one operator and show only combos that include them. Click operator names for PRTS details.
- Use star filters and display options; Clear resets everything. Refreshing the page restores your last tags, stars, and focus.
Site language vs server
Page text follows /zh, /ja, or /ko. Server buttons only change which operator pool and tag labels are used.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Arknights recruitment calculator work?
Select up to 6 recruitment tags and the calculator instantly shows all operators that match every chosen tag. It highlights guaranteed rarity floors — for example, selecting Top Operator guarantees a 6-star operator.
What is the best recruitment tag combination for a 6-star operator?
The only way to guarantee a 6-star operator through recruitment is to select the Top Operator tag and set the recruitment timer to 9 hours. This prevents the tag from being dropped during the process.
How do I guarantee a 5-star operator in Arknights recruitment?
Select the Senior Operator tag alone or combine it with compatible tags such as Crowd-Control, Nuker, Shift, or Summon. Always set the timer to 9 hours to lock the tag in.
Should I always set recruitment time to 9 hours?
Yes, whenever you have a combination that guarantees a 4-star or higher operator, set the timer to 9 hours. This maximises the chance that your selected tags are confirmed and not dropped.
How do I get a Robot operator in Arknights?
Select the Robot tag and set the recruitment timer to 3 hours and 50 minutes or less. Setting 4 hours or more removes 1-star operators from the pool, making the Robot tag useless.
Does the calculator work for CN, JP, and KR servers?
Each server has a different operator release schedule. CN is the most advanced, while EN/JP/KR follow several months behind. Switching the server selector updates the operator pool to match your region.
How often is the Arknights recruitment calculator updated?
The calculator is updated whenever new operators are added to the global server recruitment pool, typically within days of each new Arknights update in 2026.
What are the recruitment rates for 5-star and 6-star operators?
Without special tags, base rates are approximately 2% for 6★ and 8% for 5★ at 9 hours. With Senior Operator the 5★ rate rises to about 18%, and Top Operator guarantees 6★.
