Explanation

EncoreEncore

Meet Encore, a powerhouse of a character in the game. As a Main-DPS, she focuses on pure damage without any distractions. When she activates her Cosmos Rave state, she unleashes an insane amount of Fusion Damage against enemies. However, she can be quite squishy, as her Cosmos Rave state doesn't provide any crowd control.

CalcharoCalcharo

Calcharo is the premier Electro Main-DPS unit, capable of dishing out a significant amount of Electro damage with both his Skill and Liberation. With the introduction of Yinlin, he has been boosted to new heights.

MortefiMortefi

Mortefi has a unique mechanic that allows coordinated Fusion attacks to follow whenever you attack enemies, ensuring that he deals damage even when off-field. This exponentially increases his value in fights. Plus, being a 4-star unit, he is fairly easy to obtain.

SanhuaSanhua

Sanhua is an incredibly useful Sub-DPS, providing Basic Attack DMG Deepen for 14 seconds to the next character who takes the field. She also deals decent damage, but relies heavily on detonating ice structures using her Heavy Attacks.

BaizhiBaizhi

Baizhi is the secondary healer you can run when you don't have Verina. She can burst-heal using her Resonance Skill and Liberation, as well as continuously heal and buff the next character that takes the field for 36 seconds. Unlocking her Inherent Skill 1 provides ATK boosts to the next on-field DPS that picks up the Euphonia generated by You'tan.

DanjinDanjin

Danjin is a great DPS choice for free-to-play players, capable of dishing out massive damage as long as you can manage her HP-drain mechanic. However, this may be challenging, especially against tougher enemies.

Rover (Havoc)Rover (Havoc)

Rover (Havoc) is a great damage dealer that can activate his Dark Surge state easily. His Resonance Liberation provides incredible burst damage, and his Basic Attack is where he truly shines. Just be sure to master dodging skills to maximize damage during Dark Surge.

JianxinJianxin

Jianxin is a versatile unit that can serve as both a Main and Sub-DPS. She can hold her own as a Main-DPS, providing grouping and AoE damage, while also supporting as a Sub-DPS with her Outro Skill buffing Resonance Liberation DMG.

AaltoAalto

Aalto is a good Sub-DPS unit that can buff Aero DMG while dealing decent damage on his own. However, he is outclassed by other Sub-DPS like Mortefi, who can deal damage even when off-field.

Rover (Spectro)Rover (Spectro)

Rover (Spectro) is a jack-of-all-trades character, providing great Sub-DPS capabilities with his Outro Skill and Resonance Liberation while showing Main-DPS potential. Unfortunately, this has led to his fall in popularity.

YangyangYangyang

Yangyang is the first free 4-star character, providing decent damage and utility with her Aero grouping. However, she falls off once better Sub-DPS are unlocked, which provide DMG buffs.

ChixiaChixia

Chixia is an excellent DPS unit against hoards of enemies, thanks to her mobility and ease of use. She can take on single-target bosses with ease, but may struggle with overly aggressive enemies if not properly evaded.

LingyangLingyang

Lingyang is being outclassed by his standard 5-star peers, especially those with strong AoE damage capabilities. His damage is currently subpar compared to other Main-DPS in the game.

TaoqiTaoqi

Taoqi has found a new role as a Sub-DPS, providing Resonance Skill amplification and quick-switch damage with her Resonance Liberation. However, her split scaling with Forte and Shields remains an issue.
