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 further. She is a universal support welcome on most teams alongside most DPS units.

Baicang

Baicang

Incantation
A

Baicang deals high Incantation DMG as a main DPS, but his clunky combos and need for a healer limit him to A-tier.

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 comes from frontloading their damage into their Ultimate and Skill, giving scaling burst DMG potential. However, this is also their main source of damage, making them a strong Sub-DPS that can carry through the game but not necessarily the endgame.

Chiz

Chiz

Cosmos
A

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-Tier

Daffodill's status as a Break-Burst DPS puts her in a special place since she's the only one that can currently function this way as of right now, as her kit is specially designed to deal Break Intensity damage. She is placed in A-tier since she brings respectable damage that shines most when the enemy's weakness is about to break, but that also serves as a downside since her timings and damage windows are strict.

Jiuyuan

Jiuyuan

Nature
A

Jiuyuan is an Anima-based burst DPS who excels at quickswap playstyles. She deals massive damage with her frontloaded Ultimate and Blossom enhancements. Her versatility allows her to function both as a primary DPS and as a support, securing her an A-tier spot.

Fadia

Fadia

Psyche
B

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 a Buffer who increases her team's ATK and provides off-field damage via Hootie. She excels in teams that can trigger Discord or Charge cycles, but lacks utility beyond buffs, requiring quick swaps.

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 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 that can deal damage in a unique way. Not only can she attack normally like other characters, but she can also deal damage while moving quickly, making her mobile in a fight. The downside, however, is that she can have a hard time dealing damage to mobile bosses. Additionally, her mobility outside of combat is impaired, as although she can glide easily, she cannot climb walls.

Edgar

Edgar

Cosmos
C Tier

Edgar is one of the game's healers, capable of topping up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities, however, are very stationary. His skill, for example, makes him stand still, while his Ultimate is applied in a fixed area. This can make it difficult for Edgar to heal his team when facing off against mobile bosses and enemies.

Skia

Skia

Lakshana
C

Skia is a Lakshana frontline DPS who excels in extended fights, leveraging his Fang Thrust mechanic for sustained damage. However, his reliance on keeping Fang Thrust applied and the clunkiness of his rotation make him less consistent than other DPS options.
