Explanation

shorekeeper shorekeeper

Shorekeeper is a versatile support unit that grants Crit buffs to any ally within her Resonance Liberation's field, while also continuously healing them. She has further utility, such as damage amplification, knockdown recovery, and K.O. prevention.

ciaccona ciaccona

Ciaccona is an Aero character that provides excellent buffing and debuffing capabilities to team members and enemies, respectively. As a unit, she is able to apply multiple instances of Aero Erosion and Spectro Frazzle throughout her kit which makes her a very versatile unit that works in multiple teams.

cartethyia cartethyia

Cartethyia is so far the best Aero DPS character in the game. She is able to deal insane amounts of damage and can apply Aero Erosion herself even without a dedicated applicator. Considering she scales off the HP stat, her potential is basically through the roof.

phrolova phrolova

Phrolova is a Havoc DPS that scales off Resonance Skill and Echo Skill DMG, a nice combination that only works with a handful of characters. Though she can be flexible, she will need significant investment to reach her full potential.

augusta augusta

Augusta is a top-tier Electro DPS character that dishes out extremely high Heavy Attack DMG with her Heavy Attack and Resonance Skill combos. She also has one of the strongest unique abilities in the game, as she can stop time, however her Cosmos Rave state only lasts for 10 seconds.

hiyuki hiyuki

Hiyuki is a strong Glacio DPS character capable of dishing out high DMG while utilizing Glacio Chafe stacks. Her versatility, high multipliers and utility make her one of the top picks.

sigrika sigrika

Sigrika is a hypercarry unit particularly playing well into the Echo Skill DMG archetype. She has the capacity to deal high damage and provides great utility through crowd control.

aemeath aemeath

Aemeath is a meta-defining DPS character with the ability to apply and consume Fusion Burst on her own, inflict Tune Rupture and increase her own DMG multipliers throughout her kit.

brant brant

Brant is a Fusion character who can provide team-wide buffs and sustain, without compromising on his personal damage, as he can convert ER to Attack.

zani zani

Zani is the best Spectro DPS available in the current meta, able to utilize Spectro Frazzle for maximizing her damage output in fights. She remains a solid option but has seen a decline in effectiveness.

lynnae lynnae

Lynae is a strong sub-DPS unit providing great utility and buffs while also being capable of dealing a large amount of damage on her own.

lupa lupa

Lupa is a great main-DPS unit dealing huge amounts of Fusion damage, with a focus on increasing her ATK after using her Ultimate. She is a versatile unit but best suited for main-DPS roles.
