Tier Explanation

T0

Meta-shaping powerhouses. They stand out in practically all game content and seamlessly fit into various team lineups. They’re absolutely worth pulling for and putting heavy resources into.

T0.5

Top-level performers with only minor drawbacks. They may require specific team configurations or a bit more skill to master, but they still deliver outstanding results.

T1

Dependable, steady choices. These characters do well in most situations, though they might struggle in certain specific scenarios or need more investment to truly excel.

T2

Characters that work in specific situations. They can perform well in niche teams or particular content, but they’re generally overshadowed by higher-tier alternatives.

T3

Their practical use is limited. These characters need substantial investment and specific team setups to be competitive.

 

Tags Explanation

 DPS

DPS is the cornerstone of your offensive strategy, dealing heavy damage consistently throughout a battle. These characters usually boast powerful attacks and abilities that prioritize offensive stats such as ATK, Crit DMG, and Crit Rate. The entire team is built around creating favorable conditions and supporting the Main DPS to help them unleash their maximum damage potential.

Sub DPS

Sub-DPS characters complement the Main DPS by dishing out substantial damage while offering additional benefits to the team. They often have potent burst attacks that deal massive damage in a short span. Some Sub-DPS units also bring utility to the table, like applying buffs to enhance the team’s performance.

Support

Support characters focus on aiding the entire team rather than dealing high damage. They ensure the team stays alive and performs at its best by providing healing, shields, or buffs that boost attack power or defense.
