Aurelia

Psyche
C

Mobile Main DPS that deals Psyche (mental) damage with a unique moveable attack form (Staccato). She excels in Discord teams where Nova is applied to enemies to amplify her passive Psyche damage, and can pull enemies with her Ultimate to maximize multi-hit uptime.

Edgar

Edgar

Cosmos
C

Edgar is a Cosmos healer who channels a large heal via his Skill and provides an area heal with his Ultimate. He can keep allies topped off but his healing is mostly stationary — both his Skill (channel) and Ultimate (fixed-domain) make it hard to support very mobile allies or bosses.

Skia

Skia

Lakshana
C

Lakshana frontline DPS that shines in longer on-field windows by stacking Fang Thrust and Shadow Hound Chase. High DPS when rotations keep him locked on targets, but his signature mechanic is finicky when swaps interrupt his lock.

Nanally

Nanally

Nature
S

High-output Anima DPS who hits hard with her Skill → Ultimate windows and benefits from CRIT DMG stacking. Her Skill also lets her walk on any surface, giving useful exploration utility. Best used as the team's finisher after buffs/shields are applied.

Sakiri

Sakiri

Incantation
S

Sakiri is an S-tier universal buffer who combines strong crowd-control (hold Skill that clumps/airborne enemies) with a team ATK% buff on her Ultimate. With her Best Arc and Cartridge she greatly amplifies team damage and fits on most DPS teams.

Baicang

Baicang

Incantation
A

Baicang is an Incantation main DPS who deals large damage from multiple skill sources and his Ultimate. His kit is versatile and can output both burst and sustained DoT, but requires precise combos, has HP-cost mechanics (with some Arcs) and a moveset that can feel clunky, keeping him at A-tier.

Hathor

Hathor

Lakshana
A

Hathor is a Lakshana Burst DPS who deals huge Lakshana damage through her Ultimate and empowered Skill. Her damage scales with Express Delivery Power stacks: build and spend stacks to enable frequent high-damage windows. She charges Ultimate quickly when generating stacks.

Zero

Zero

Cosmos
A

Zero is a burst Sub‑DPS who frontloads most of their damage into their Skill and Ultimate. They excel at short, high‑value windows (quick swaps, Cycle triggers) and scale with Awakening effects, making them a strong carry through most content but less optimal as a full‑time endgame main DPS.

Chiz

Chiz

Cosmos
A Tier

Cosmos on-field DPS who scales with Grain. Chiz spins her Skill to consume Grain for damage, recovers Grain via Basic Attacks, and uses her Ultimate to temporarily refill Grain and boost Skill damage. High ceiling once you master Grain management.

Daffodill

Daffodill

Chaos
A

Unique Break‑Burst DPS who specializes in dealing Break Intensity / Break Damage. Strong when hitting enemies right before they Break, but requires precise timing and support skill setup to reach peak damage.

Jiuyuan

Jiuyuan

Nature
A

An Anima quick‑swap burst Sub‑DPS who sets up Lethal Rose Pact early, then returns to expend Rose Pact Bullets and finish with a frontloaded Ultimate (Pact Settlement). Works well in Blossom teams (increases Blossom instances) and as a flexible burst/SUPPORT pick.

Fadia

Fadia

Psyche
B

Fadia is an HP-scaling Survival unit that soaks part of teammates' incoming damage and, once her HP crosses a threshold, can instantly perform an empowered Ultimate that deals strong Psyche damage and heals. She functions as a tanky sub‑DPS but requires careful HP management to time her Ultimate and heal bursts.

Haniel

Haniel

Psyche
B Tier

A Psyche buffer who summons Hootie to grant an ATK buff while off-field and deals additional off‑field damage. Works best as a support that briefly provides big team ATK windows and supplementary damage before swapping back to your main DPS.

Mint

Mint

Nature
B

Mint is a strong single-target DPS with an extremely short Skill cooldown, letting her spam Skill to charge Ultimate and perform Riposte/parry plays. She shines in Blossom teams where her passive expands Vita Pistil area, but she gets outclassed by higher-end DPS later on.

Adler

Adler

Incantation
B

Adler is a defensive Incantation unit who provides strong DEF-scaled shields and Incantation DoT. He’s primarily run as a support/shielding unit (B-tier) — his raw DPS lags behind top DPS characters, so he’s usually picked for survivability rather than raw damage.
