Chiz

Chiz

Cosmos
A Tier

Chiz is a strong DPS character that can continuously deal Cosmos DMG to enemies with her kit, which revolves around the management of Grain. The more Grain Chiz has, the stronger her attacks become. While Chiz's kit may seem confusing at first with its stock market-like mechanics, it is easy to get used to and will allow you to dispatch enemies with ease.

Daffodill

Daffodill

Chaos
A

Daffodill is a unique Break-Burst DPS who excels at dealing high damage when the enemy's weakness is about to break. However, she has strict timing and damage windows, placing her in A-tier.

Jiuyuan

Jiuyuan

Nature
A

Jiuyuan serves as an Anima-based burst DPS, effectively only coming in to perform her combo when her energy is full and her special bullets are maxed out. Combined with her relatively quickswap playstyle, frontloaded Ultimate, and Blossom enhancements, she secures a spot on A-tier due to the versatility of her kit both as a DPS and as a Support.

Fadia

Fadia

Psyche
B Tier

Fadia is a Survival character whose gimmick is to mitigate the damage her teammates take by taking part of the damage herself. Then, upon reaching a certain threshold, she can perform an empowered version of her Ultimate, which deals more damage and heals more of Fadia's HP. This makes Fadia a great tank and sub-DPS, although managing her HP will take some getting used to.

Haniel

Haniel

Psyche
B

Haniel is one of the game's Buffers, capable of increasing the team's ATK. Not only that, but she can also serve as a team's sub-DPS thanks to her ability to deal damage while off-field. However, she does not offer much else apart from her buffs and off-field damage. Because of this, you will be quickly switching to other members of your team after applying buffs with Haniel.

Mint

Mint

Nature
B

Mint is a good DPS character thanks to her strong single-target capabilities, as well as her Skill, which has a low cooldown. This allows her to not only deal a lot of damage, but it also lets her use it to parry enemy attacks. Her downside, however, is that she is quickly outclassed by other DPS characters later in the game.

Adler

Adler

Incantation
B

Adler supports the team by providing both shields that scale with DEF, and DoT damage that scales on standard damage means. Overall, though, he is placed in B-tier as the damage he offers is lacking compared to other DPS units, and is thus sought out mostly for his shielding.

Aurelia

Aurelia

Psyche
C

Aurelia is a Main DPS who can deal damage in a unique way. She can attack normally like other characters, but also damage enemies while moving quickly, making her mobile in combat. However, she struggles against mobile bosses and cannot climb walls outside of combat.

Edgar

Edgar

Cosmos
C

Edgar is a healer capable of topping up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities are stationary, making it difficult to heal teammates against mobile enemies.

Skia

Skia

Lakshana
C

Skia serves as a Lakshana frontline DPS that excels in long fights, allowing him to make the most out of Fang Thrust. However, Fang Thrust itself can be clunky and inconsistent due to him needing to constantly keep it on an enemy, which he likely loses when swapping out to restart team rotations. This lands him in C-tier since other units have easier times keeping consistent rotations.

Nanally

Nanally

Nature
S

Nanally is a strong DPS character capable of dealing large amounts of Anima DMG to her foes with a flurry of attacks. When using her Skill, she not only gains increased CRIT DMG, but can also walk on any surface, which comes in useful both in and out of combat. If you are looking for a strong Main DPS, as well as a way to easily climb the game's numerous buildings, then the S-Tier Nanally is the Esper for you.

Sakiri

Sakiri

Incantation
S

Sakiri provides reliable crowd-control with her held skill and considerable ATK% buffs with her Ultimate. When paired with her Best-in-Slot Arc and Cartridge, this ATK bonus is amplified even further. These points, combined with her rather universal use case, solidify her as an S-tier character welcome on most teams alongside most DPS units.

Baicang

Baicang

Incantation
A

Baicang deals a plethora of Incantation DMG that stems from multiple sources in his kit, and is coupled with the combos that give versatility to his use cases. This justifies having him as the Main DPS of your teams. However, his main combos can be difficult to execute, and his moveset can be clunky, leaving him at A-tier due to other S-ranks being more convenient.

Hathor

Hathor

Lakshana
A

Hathor is a Burst DPS character capable of dealing large amounts of Lakshana DMG thanks to her Ultimate and empowered Skill. Stacking her Express Delivery Power helps charge her Ultimate quickly, allowing her to deal bursts of damage in relatively quick intervals. While strong, her Burst damage relies heavily on the number of Express Delivery Power stacks that she has, which requires proper usage of her Skill.

Zero

Zero

Cosmos
A

Zero's main selling point is frontloading their damage into Ultimate and Skill, providing scaling burst DMG potential through natural Awakening acquisition. However, damage is heavily concentrated in these abilities, making Zero a strong Sub-DPS for early-to-mid game but less effective in endgame content. Consequently, Zero is placed in A tier.
