Best Honkai Star Rail Characters: Hero Tier List [3.7]

Tier list of characters Honkai: StarRail is based on the effectiveness of heroes in battle and represents a holistic assessment of the abilities of each unit. The rating is divided into five categories, including positions for current endgame content modes. Such systematization is aimed at helping players choose characters that are unique in their niche and are able to offer a comfortable passage of any activity. Each rank includes representatives of damage-dealing Paths, as well as supports and sustainers (healers and shielders).

Accordingly, the top of the best HSR heroes is formed on the basis of their relevance. In addition, the key factor for success in the realities of turn-based combat is not so much the strength and damage of an individual fighter, but his usefulness in battle and flexibility, allowing him to adapt to various situations.

Honkai: Star Rail Hero Tier List

Character Rating displays the overall picture, and not each individual case. Each character is provided with a detailed description of the uniqueness of its functionality and mechanics, in addition, an optimal eidolon is proposed - this should help to assess how useful the hero will be to the account not only at the initial, but also at later stages of development.

S+ rank

Universal characters that can easily handle high-level content even without legendary gear and eidolons. They combine several functions at once, have no alternative and/or occupy a step higher than other units of their Path/damage type. Thanks to their flexibility, they are almost irreplaceable heroes и useful at any stage of the game.

Heroes who not much inferior the characters discussed above. Despite this, even with minimal investment they are a good choice and perfectly complement many squads, especially in the absence of representatives of the highest tier.

Heroes that require serious investment and an equally serious approach to rotation within the framework of passing this or that content. Not bad and can demonstrate certain advantages, but fade against the background of other units. It can be said that they are easily replaced not only by legendary representatives, but also by epic ones (more niche/unique).

Character Rankings in Endgame Modes

Considering that the relevance of heroes may vary within the framework of passing updated modes "Forgotten Hall", "Apocalyptic Shadow" и "Pure Fiction", it is important to understand: some units are very good at clearing AoE content, while others, on the contrary, are only good when fighting large single targets. Below is a rating under every type of endgame content, thanks to which you can evaluate the uniqueness and versatility of a particular character at the peak of strength and capabilities.

Forgotten Hall

The Hall of Oblivion is a mode that primarily consists of fighting one major goal. Accordingly, for the passage of "Memories", heroes that demonstrate high damage to a solo target, or meta supports that can significantly speed up the passage of content thanks to the distributed bonuses, are in great demand.

Pure fiction

Pure fiction, on the other hand, focuses on evaluation. AoE potential squad. As a result, the value of characters that are able to withstand waves of opponents in a short time, replacing each other after death, increases. Less important, in turn, are the representatives of the Hunt, since their solo-target capabilities extremely slow down the passage of rooms even at the peak of investments. A similar fate awaits some epic "mass" units, since they cannot offer enough damage without proper pumping and top-tier supports in the group.

The illusion of the end

The Illusion of the End has concentrated in itself groups of ordinary opponents and a powerful single enemy (or several at once). Because of this, the greatest relevance is offered by units of the universal type, that is, with good area damage and solo targetAdditionally, the value of certain characters increases depending on the bonuses offered by the mode, so the hero positions may vary from update to update.

S+ Tier Characters

The characters presented below are some of the best representatives of their class and universal fighters that fit seamlessly into a variety of content. They have a unique combination of abilities, so it is almost impossible for them to find an equivalent replacement.

Evernight

Darkness (Memory: Ice) — a character who perfectly complements teams with Memory Spirits. She can act as a primary or secondary damage dealer, focusing on buffing summons, including her own. Her main source of damage is the jellyfish Darkness, which receives additional bonuses from the heroine during combat. Gameplay is built around a set of special stacks and charges that maximize the combat assistance of Darkness and the other spirits. Despite having a universal buff that increases the DPS of all allies, the legendary March 7 remains a key hero specifically for squads in the "conscript" niche.

Cyrene

Cyrene (Memory: Ice) — Zlatius, specializing in supporting heroes from the Golden Descendants faction. Each of the thirteen characters belonging to Amphoraeus of the Eternal Lands offers a range of unique bonuses aimed at significantly strengthening them on the battlefield. This savior's primary stat is HP, with some emphasis on speed. In addition to her support role, she can serve as a primary or secondary damage dealer, as after using her ultimate ability, she unleashes an AoE volley from her bow on enemy targets with an enhanced basic attack.

However, the priestess of time's unique feature and main problem is the "Remembrance" charges she accumulates for subsequent use of her ultimate ability. This process can be considered quite lengthy, and the factors that accelerate it lie either in a signature unit from the Path of Memory or in acquiring Eidolons (minimum investment: E2).

Dan Heng: Liberator of the Wasteland

Liberator of the Wasteland (Save: Physical) — a shielder specializing in casting and renewing area-of-effect barriers. Designates a targeted ally as a "Companion" with a skill and summons a creature known as the "Dragon Soul" to the battlefield, which binds to the character receiving the powerful buff. Active during battle thanks to frequent bonus attacks, she also provides significant support to heroes through her ATK stat, increasing the aforementioned stat.

It won't find a place in HP squads led by units that sacrifice their own or allied survival for increased damage, but it will do an excellent job of sustaining in other groups.

Phainon

Phainon (Destruction: Physical) is a representative of a unique mechanic that allows the young man to transform into a more powerful form after using his superpower. Thus, the hero begins to fight opponents in a duel mode: other allies receive a status that does not allow them to make moves and leave the battle arena.

The Ultimate ability for the Perfect Form only becomes available after enough Flame Core charges have been accumulated. The required number is 12, maximum - 15. Inside the territory, the character retains all received positive bonuses, and also gains additional increases to HP and attack power. As a result, the unit is considered an extremely useful DPS hero, capable of closing any endgame content. Investments in it pay off in themselves, and among the allies there are good F2P options.

Saber

Saber (Destruction: Wind) — the heroine of the collaboration, who is a classic representative of the Destruction class. The main skill in the rotation is a superpower, in addition, it receives good bonuses at the moment when allied characters use their ultimate. Accordingly, the team requires comrades with a "bank" that does not consume colossal investments for accumulation. Good in all high-level modes, including those where the battle takes place against solo opponents and AoE waves. Thus, we can say that it is friendly to both F2P players and beginners.

Castorice

Castorice (Remembrance: Quantum) Summons the Wings of Death creature using a technique or superpower, and subsequently advances its action forward by 100%. The assistant is the main source of damage and deals damage in an area, cleaning up groups of enemies quite well. At the same time, the heroine can also deal damage when using the skill alone or together with the spirit. The main skills, in turn, consume HP of all allies.

The character in synergy with his assistant is capable of producing high damage numbers with minimal investment. As for the team, the choice of allies is small, but some of the best partners are budget heroes in the person of Pioneer (Memory: Ice) и Gallagher (Abundance: Fire). In addition, it is worth noting a certain dependence on the signal due to the modest number of alternatives among the weapons intended for her class. However, despite the nuances in the assembly and not the most "friendly" mechanics, with the appropriate investments and understanding of the principle of the skills, the heroine can easily close any content.

Aglaea

Aglaea (Remembrance: Electro) attacks enemies together with the summoned spirit Seamstress. During battles, he relies on a superpower that puts him in a state Supreme Stance and transforms the basic attack into a strengthened version. As part of the "Kiss of a Thousand Cuts", it performs an AoE strike in tandem with the spirit of memory. The "Highest Form" status, in turn, has a huge impact on the character's speed indicator. As a result, the entire rotation revolves around "Dance, Born to Be a Seamstress".

In addition to attack characteristics (crit. damage, crit. chance and attack power), it requires an external increase in speed, which may lead to the need to knock out a signature light cone. At the same time, belonging to Memory makes it dependent on certain support units: for effective play it is extremely important to have Sundays (Harmony: Imaginary), or fully upgraded Trialblazer (Remembrance: Ice). To sum it up, the heroine will undoubtedly become an excellent combat unit for completing high-level updated modes, but in return she will require serious investments.

The Herta

The Herta (Erudition: Ice) is aimed at effectively destroying waves of enemies ("Pure Fiction"). During the battle, the heroine actively strengthens herself and her allies under certain conditions, and her main mechanic is the status "Interpretation" (accumulates personally or with the help of other squad members). This effect affects the multiple increase in outgoing damage, which allows her to act against single targets and, accordingly, close the "Hall of Oblivion" and "Illusion of the End" without much difficulty.

The problem that most players who want to play with a girl may have is the unit's need for other representatives of Erudition because of the conditions inherent in the skills and traces. In this, as in some other respects, it begins to resemble Acheron (Non-existence: Electricity), demanding of allies of the Non-Existence and/or the second eidolon to simplify the conventions of hidden talents. As a result, on the one hand, the unit does not offer anything new, but on the other hand, it closes the need for a hero suitable for diverse content.

Anaxa

Anaxa (Erudition: Windy) — a unique representative of his class, whose skills are focused on maintaining several vulnerabilities on the enemy. He is a good secondary damage dealer, covering the need for AoE potential, and is also considered the best ally for Great Hertha (Erudition: Ice), since their mechanics complement each other.

He can easily act as the main DPS character of the group, especially if you provide him with the highest tier Harmony, which can accelerate combat characteristics to extreme values. Not too demanding on signature weapons due to the epic light cone The Great Cosmic Enterprise, repeating some of the effects. However, to achieve maximum efficiency, especially in the hyper-carry position, investments of any type are considered mandatory.

Jade

Mechanics Jaspers (Erudition: Quantum) is tied to the implementation of constant bonus attacks, as well as third-party support of allies. With the skill, the heroine imposes a special status on one selected ally, increasing speed, at the same time, his attacks are supported by additional quantum striking power from the top manager of the KMM. The main "minus" of the girl is that the charges accumulated during the battle are tied to the number of opponents: the more enemies, the more often the girl's talent is triggered.

Thus, the character is extremely limited as a representative of the Path of Erudition. Her potential is revealed exclusively in activities similar to “Pure Fiction”; in addition, it is extremely important for her to be in teams with allies who can attack in an area. The situation is corrected by the presence of the first eidolon, but the difficulties are only “smoothed out” and do not disappear completely.

Tribbie

Tribbie (Harmony: Quantum), in addition to applying buffs, helps to inflict more damage in the area with the help of a bonus attack and super ability. In its arsenal contains universal enhancements in the form of increasing the penetration of all types of resistance and damage received by opponents, which makes it an excellent support for any damage dealers. However, the features of its mechanics, namely the third trace, suggest more effective interaction with heroes who deal damage to several targets.

The messenger gets energy for her teammates hitting enemies. In addition, the fact that the heroine herself deals area damage allows her to show herself well in content like "Pure Fiction". Her synergy with units that do damage less often and/or to single targets, in turn, is not very high. However, the ability to gather through a "fast" build will compensate for the missing energy, although in this case, personal damage is reduced.

Hysilens

Gisilens (Non-existence: Physical) significantly enhances the potential of DoT teams thanks to universal weakening, decent damage and the ability to impose any periodic effects. At the same time, she is able to independently activate statuses with the help of her ultimate, partly solving the problem with the "slowness" of such builds. The girl reveals herself especially well in an alliance with Kafka, thanks to which DoT debuffs are triggered even more often. The violinist from Amphoraeus shows herself worthy both against waves of enemy targets and against bosses. In the latter case, she is also helped by the "Bleeding" effect, which damages depending on the monster's max HP.

Cipher

Cipher (Nihility: Quantum) is a universal character from the debuffers class. With the help of her skills, the cat thief reduces the damage from opponents and at the same time increases the damage to them. In addition, she is able to independently inflict true damage or carry out bonus attacks. However, the unit's potential is still partially limited - depending on the strength of the attacks of the squad members, the heroine copes with mobs more effectively. Accordingly, without powerful DPS characters, it is more difficult for her to reveal herself to the maximum.

Overall, the catgirl fits into most teams due to the presence of negative statuses that are in demand by literally any heroes. In addition, she is fast and mobile, which allows her to effectively generate skill points during battle. She cannot be called an irreplaceable or important component in any squad, but she performs the tasks required of her Path well and can act as a worthy alternative in many builds.

Pioneer (Memory)

Trialblazer (Remembrance: Ice) Calls upon the active spirit of memory within the battle Memo. The main focus of the character is to support other representatives of damage-dealing classes, including with a summoned creature (for example, demigoddess Aglaya). Thanks to Memo's passive skills, he increases the squad's critical damage and is also able to advance the action of a selected ally. Additionally, the spirit of memory deals true damage, calculated as a fixed value from the number of DPS inflicted by a fighter with the "Support Memo" status.

The unit, in turn, can be compared with the budget version of such a support hero as Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary), making it capable of replacing the named representative in F2P teams that play from memory spirits/summoned creatures.

Cerydra

Keridra (Harmony: Windy) is considered a unique character of the Path, whose skills are aimed at supporting the hyper-carry of the team, that is, one allied character. Using the skill, the girl imposes the status "Battle Merit", which affects the increase of combat characteristics, in particular ATK, and when a certain number of charges is reached, it allows the ally hero to re-use his personal skill. As a result, the queen combines well only with a certain number of units, the mechanics of which are similar to Phainon (Destruction: Physical) or, for example, Anaxoy (Erudition: Windy).

Sunday

Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary) unique mechanics - the spread of positive bonuses to an ally and his summoned creature/spirit of memory in particular (for example, Jing Yuan and his Lightning Lord, Aglaya and her Seamstress). The list of supported buffs includes: increased critical rate, increased overall outgoing damage, restoration of energy and skill points when the main skill "Blessing of Paper and Rites" is directed at a "Blessed" ally.

Despite the fact that the character specializes in supporting a specific type of units, he is a strong support in different builds thanks to universal buffs. As a result, he can become a support for any representative of Hunting, Erudition, Destruction, Oblivion or Memory. In return, he only needs high increases in energy recovery speed and critical damage.

Robin

Robin (Harmony: Phychic) is engaged in the distribution and maintenance of various positive increases that affect the entire squad. Her main skill is a skill aimed at increasing the damage inflicted by allies. The duration "depends" on the moves made by the Galovian singer, which can be especially useful if the team has a "fast" DPS character who performs up to 2-3 actions per battle cycle. In turn, the main advantage is high synergy with characters capable of inflicting bonus attacks. The positive trait is revealed thanks to the "Improvised Decoration" trace.

The disadvantages include high demands on such a characteristic as "energy recovery speed". Without signature weapons, it is in dire need of a connecting rope that increases this parameter. As a result, if we consider investing in the first eidolon or signature light cone, priority should be given to the second option - this will significantly simplify the assembly of the girl.

Ruan Mei

Ruan Mei (Harmony: Ice) Offers his squad a boost to all damage, speed, and penetration efficiency without consuming many skill points. Since the bonuses are shared among all teammates, he excels in multi-DPS builds.

The main feature of the heroine is the development of such a characteristic as the penetration effect. In addition to the fact that it helps to break enemy shields faster, it also increases the penetration of elemental resistance, prolongs the effect of penetration and itself deals damage, which depends on this stat. Suitable for F2P players and is easy to collect, but most of her buffs "burn out" during the turn, which complicates the balance of speed: it is important to walk not too fast and not too slow.

Fugue

Fugue (Non-existence: Fire) - a debuffer whose main purpose is to support allies by applying buffs to them or constantly weakening enemies. It can do good damage, but this is only a side focus.

She mainly plays in squads focused on penetrating vulnerabilities - this is the mechanic that the fox's gameplay is built around. She provides allies with an increase in the penetration effect, allows them to ignore the initial weaknesses of enemies, and in addition reduces defense, which is one of the strongest bonuses for this type of team. Although the girl has competition in the form of a free the MC (Harmony: Imaginary), is a powerful candidate for "punchy" teams with its own unique advantages.

Jiaoqiu

Jiaoqiu (Nihility: Fire) can fill the debuffer position in most squads, as well as help with off-target damage through direct hits and the Burning DoT status, which is equivalent to his Burning Ash debuff stacks. He is a great companion for any DPS character, especially if the DPS character needs a damage boost from a super ability (such as Knight of Beauty Argenti).

Despite being in demand in different compositions, it demonstrates the highest efficiency when paired with Acheron (Nihility: Lightning), Dr. Ratio (Hunt: Imaginary) and units that play from periodic damage. It is worth noting that the character itself is undemanding in assembly: the only parameter that needs to be brought to a high value is the chance of effects hitting.

Silver Wolf

Silver Wolf (Nihility: Quantum) can impose various negative effects on enemies, such as decreasing speed, defense, and attack power. However, her main feature is a skill that allows her to create a vulnerability of the same type as the attack type of a random ally. For example, if the enemy target does not have a weakness to electro, but someone on the team owns the element, there is a chance that the heroine will impose a vulnerability to this element on the enemy.

Despite the random nature of the ability, when forming a balanced team, the debuff will provide an advantage in battle. However, even if it is not needed, the girl is able to act as a regular support.

Hyacine

Hyacinth (Memory: Windy) is considered a unique representative of her class, which significantly surpasses many heroes of Abundance. The priestess of Ohema not only restores health, but also deals good damage with the skill of the summoned creature Iki. Moreover, the damage increases during the battle: the more often and more the girl replenishes the "bank" of allies, the more amazing the final explosive damage from the skill of the spirit of memory.

An additional feature of the character is the ability to increase the base HP of allies, which makes her one of the desired heroines of the sustain type in squads that play from the consumption and / or burning of health. In particular, the baby will be a great addition to such units as Mydei (Destruction: Imaginary), Castorice (Remembrance: Quantum) и Blade (Destruction: Wind). The "minuses", in turn, include dependence on a high speed indicator - it is extremely important for the priestess to have 200+ units of characteristics, thus, the need for a signature light cone, which offers 18% to the characteristic, increases.

Huohuo

Hoho (Abundance: Windy) performs several tasks at once: provides healing, strengthens allies and removes debuffs from them. The trainee judge effectively heals several squad members with a skill, and also passively with a talent when one of the teammates' health drops to half. All the main buffs are concentrated in the ult, after which it restores energy and increases attack power.

The timid girl will fit into any squad due to her stable healing and the buffs that are in demand for most damage dealers. At the same time, she does not require serious investments, since equipping an epic cone is enough to achieve the main goal. Eidolons, although good, are not strictly necessary. The only thing is, unlike the same Lochi (Abundance: Imaginary), is less "friendly" in terms of spending skill points, but offers nice bonuses in return.

Lingsha

Linsha (Abundance: Fire) Heals allies, and also has the ability to debuff and deal area damage. It is a legendary alternative. Gallagher (Abundance: Fire), because, like the bartender, he shows himself well in squads that play from penetration. As part of the battle, he summons a helper hare, which is a bonus attack, deals damage and at the same time heals/removes weakening. It is on this creature that the main part of the gameplay is built - it must be promoted and periodically add actions.

The healer will be an optimal addition to any team, despite her initial specialization. The presence of passive and instant healing is in demand by many characters, and constant damage through active abilities will be useful, for example, in Pure Fiction. It is also worth noting the fact that Linsha is quite effective in builds from a bonus strike or in synergy with heroes for whom frequent attacks are important, as in the case of Feixiao (The Hunt: Wind).

Gallagher

Gallagher (Abundance: Fire) differs from other representatives of the healer class by its unique healing mechanics, built on negative statuses. Health is restored after allied attacks on opponents with a weakening of "Dead Drunk", as well as an enhanced basic attack and skill. The character also stands out with scales, which suggest a build with an emphasis on the penetration effect and the bonus of outgoing healing, since the amount of regeneration does not depend on other parameters, but increases through traces and equipment.

The man has the ability to impose additional mass debuffs, which is relevant for most game mechanics, which is why he will fit into any squad in two positions. The status is imposed through the ultimate skill, so the character is undemanding to action points with sufficient pumping and the right build. With the opening of the second eidolon, he receives an important skill for supports to remove debuffs from allies, as a result, before it is unlocked, he is much inferior to other healers.

Aventurine

Aventurine (Save: False) is capable of supporting the squad with powerful shields on a permanent basis, as well as acting as a secondary DPS character, dealing massive damage through bonus attacks. Offers good synergy to heroes whose mechanics are similarly built around performing additional attacks out of turn. The reason is the hidden stat "Bingo!", which allows you to quickly accumulate charges of "Blind Bet" if an ally under the influence of "Fortified Bet" (shield from the skill) performs a bonus attack.

The main combat indicator that needs to be upgraded is: defense: the named stat affects both the outgoing damage figures and the strength of the applied shields. However, for full implementation in the position of additional striking power, it is demanding of the imaginary increase, as well as crits (critical damage and critical hit chance). However, thanks to the huge number of diverse light cones of epic rarity, it acquires some ease in terms of assembly, which will especially please F2P players.

S-rank characters

These heroes are almost as good as the S+ rank representatives, but still have some drawbacks that prevent them from taking a higher position. However, they are no less effective and useful in battle, and are also suitable for completing the main part of the content.

Acheron

Acheron (Nihility: Lightning), unlike most representatives of his class, is a classic damage dealer, around which the team is built. The Galactic Ranger has a unique mechanic of the ult, which does not require energy - instead, it is necessary to apply weakening to enemies during the battle and thereby accumulate points of the special charge "Cleaved Dream". At the same time, the ultimate is the main source of DPS and, when assembled correctly, demonstrates huge damage numbers, capable of surpassing the heroes of the Hunt, Erudition and Destruction.

Despite her excellent results and versatility, the girl is quite difficult to assemble: you need balanced characteristics, maximum pumping and a suitable squad. The latter is due to the fact that the heroine receives a high increase in damage due to the "Abyss" trace, for the activation of which the group must have two allies of the Path of Non-Existence. The requirement is reduced to 1 character with only the second eidolon open. If you add to this the need for constant debuffs, the signature light cone also becomes in demand.

Mydei

Mydei (Destruction: Imaginary) plays from consuming his own health in favor of accumulating levels of "Charge". Its main feature is the mechanics of carrying out automatic strikes, that is, the demigod of Discord uses enhanced variations of the skill on his own - you do not need to press the skill for this. In fact, this unique feature can be called both a "minus" and a "plus" of the character. However, the first case is fully compensated by high damage, thanks to which he feels great in the context of passing high-level content.

One way or another, the man is in reality needs good sustain, since in a reinforced stance the hero is completely deprived of survivability, which, in the absence of normal swinging, in turn, can quickly lead to a tragic outcome - and even the ability to avoid death once per battle will not have an effective effect.

Firefly

Firefly (Destruction: Fire) played through the "breakthrough effect" characteristic. Partly a universal replacement for Boothill (The Hunt: Physical), which has a similar build. In turn, the main feature of the participant of the organization "Stellaron Hunters" is an enhanced stance, which is activated when the girl uses a superpower. Subsequently, during the battle, she effectively imposes a fire vulnerability on opponents with a skill and, as a result, quickly breaks through the general resistance bar.

In part, the character build can be called simple, since you have to concentrate on the growth of two indicators - attack power and penetration effect, respectively. But the need for high percentages for comfortable gameplay can face certain difficulties. It is important for the Firefly to have the imaginary Pioneer at a minimum; at a maximum - collected Ice Ruan Mei и fiery fugue, which have high synergy with characters playing from EP.

Archer

Archer (Hunt: Quantum) — an unusual Hunt character due to the mechanics embedded in the skill set, which allow him to use the skill many times without ending the turn. As a result, he is extremely "gluttonous" in terms of action points: for comfortable implementation of rotation, he requires either Epic Hanyuor the legendary Sparkle. Moreover, the last option is the most satisfactory, as it offers not only the restoration of skill points, but also expands their total number.

Due to being a solo target, Path does not express itself well in Pure Fiction, despite the fact that the Heroic Spirit can activate the skill up to 5 times. However, it is still a good DPS unit for completing Illusion of the End and Hall of Oblivion.

Boothill

Boothill (Hunt: Physical) takes the position of the main damage dealer. During the battle, the cyborg cowboy focuses on quickly breaking through the vulnerability and dealing with large single targets. To effectively defeat opponents, he uses a dueling style of combat, which makes his basic attacks stronger, allows him to inflict more damage and quickly reduce the durability of his opponent.

The hero does not depend on the initial weakness of the enemy, as he can impose physical vulnerability on his own with the ult. As a result, he is considered a self-sufficient and strong representative of his class, but the Path is both his strength and weakness. In content that requires area damage, for example, in Pure Fiction, the cowboy is not able to fully reveal himself due to the concentration of the skill set exclusively on the solo target. However, it is in his niche that he occupies one of the leading positions.

Feixiao

Feixiao (The Hunt: Wind) — a damage dealer who specializes in destroying single elite opponents. The skill set includes both regular skills and a bonus attack that is activated by any hits from allies. Has a unique type of superpower, reminiscent of the Acheron ultimate (Nihility: Lightning): instead of standard energy, special stacks are required, and the enemy target's vulnerability is ignored during use.

The Arbiter General pairs well with heroes that can consistently deal damage throughout the fight, as this allows for faster stacking of the ult and the ability to perform a bonus attack. In addition, the woman is an easy-to-learn character that combines accessible mechanics and decent damage, making her equally suitable for both new and experienced players. She is most effective in modes that require taking down large mobs, such as the Hall of Oblivion or Illusion of the End.

Rappa

Rappa (Erudition: Imaginary) Specializes in breaking through vulnerability. During combat, her main task is to deplete the stamina bar of all enemies by inflicting massive damage. She mainly relies on her enhanced basic attack, which is activated after using her super ability and lasts for several turns, allowing her to deal more damage to enemies.

In addition, the heroine has a talent that buffs an improved version of the attack. To do this, you need to get charges for penetration, which can be helped by allies (budget ones in the person of the imaginary Pioneer и fiery Gallagher, or such expensive units as Fire Fugue, Lingsha (Fire) и Ice Ruan Mei). The Ninja from the Galactic Rangers is great for completing Pure Fiction, and also deals decent damage to single targets, which will be suitable for completing other high-level content.

March 7 (Hunting)

March 7 (Hunt: Imaginary) — one of the 4⭐️ forms of the Nameless, which fixes her in the position of a secondary damage dealer. Attacks opponents with imaginary damage, and with the skill appoints an allied hero as a "Teacher", then endowing him with a certain bonus depending on the Path occupied. With the acquisition of eidolons, she receives the mechanics of bonus attacks, which only increases her combat potential. In general, she is a good unit of the damage-dealing class, which is able to support hyper-carry with its own attacks. Versatile and accessible, therefore, she is a good choice for F2P players.

Herta

Gerta (Erudition: Ice) — one of the most convenient characters for completing "Pure Fiction" due to the bonus attack mechanics, which applies to all opponents. For beginners, she is an excellent guide in starting activities and story quests, and subsequently remains an undemanding and comfortable to use secondary damage dealer.

The girl herself cannot boast of high damage, as a result, her usefulness is mainly limited to content that requires dealing damage to an area. Despite this, the heroine is still able to find a use for herself and in certain situations becomes the best budget option for the team. For example, the character has high synergy with her five-star version - Great Hertha.

Kafka

Kafka (Non-Being: Electric), despite belonging to the Path of Nothingness, primarily specializes in destroying enemies. Its key mechanics are tied to the imposition of the "Shock" status, which causes periodic damage. At the same time, thanks to the skill and superpower (pumping the "Torture" trace is important), it instantly activates all imposed DoT damage effects, which solves one of the main problems of teams playing from this mechanic, making them more mobile.

Black Swan

Black Swan (Nonexistence: Windy) is focused on dealing damage through "Weathering". Its main mechanic is the accumulation of levels of the "Arcane" debuff, which is considered periodic damage by default, but after using the superpower it becomes all DoT statuses at once. This feature, in turn, allows the fortune teller to effectively interact with heroes who receive a certain benefit from the presence of statuses with per. damage on enemies.

Memory Keeper is a perfect complement to the classic Electric Kafka teams and works well with other characters that have similar mechanics. She also offers various nerfs, such as lowering defense or increasing the damage taken by enemies from the Insight status. This allows her to play outside of DoT squads, but it is worth understanding that in this case, her damage drops significantly.

Bronya

Bronya (Harmony: Wind) — a standard character that focuses on spreading positive effects. Her skill allows an ally to immediately perform an action, additionally increases the damage dealt, and her super ability provides an increase in attack power and critical damage. For this reason, the girl excels in strengthening "slow" allies and other hyper-carries.

One of the most significant disadvantages is the "gluttony" in terms of spending skill points, which forces you to carefully think through each move. Because of this, the girl may need to open the first eidolon or have a signature cone, as they provide the ability to restore skill points and thus facilitate the gameplay and rotation of the entire team.

Sparkle

Sparkle (Harmony: Quantum) — a versatile support heroine who has attracted attention with her mechanics of increasing the skill point limit and instantly restoring it. Additionally, the arsenal of skills contains other powerful buffs that will fully satisfy the needs of many damage dealers. For example, the talent contains a bonus to increase the damage dealt, which is further increased after using the super ability. The skill increases the critical damage of the selected ally and extends its effect by half.

The heroine's build is based on three characteristics: critical damage, speed and energy recovery. However, a narrow range of parameters does not greatly simplify the build. The named stats need to be given a lot of attention and pumped up to high values. The signature light cone with the first eidolon, which contain additional buffs for the team along with an increase in the stats of the unit itself, is in demand for the "slouch". Fortunately for F2P accounts, even with minimal investment, the heroine is able to demonstrate high usefulness in many groups thanks to fixed multipliers of distributed buffs.

Pela

Pela (Nihility: Ice) — an epic heroine who focuses on reducing the defense of enemy targets and removing positive effects from them. Quite a strong and versatile support, capable of entering any lineup and being extremely useful. First of all, this is due to the defense cut, which is one of the most powerful damage multipliers.

The key drawback of the girl is that she does not dispel all enemy buffs, since some statuses cannot be removed initially. Otherwise, the girl demonstrates a high degree of efficiency, starting from the early stages of the game, when the beginner encounters high-level and difficult enemies.

Luocha

Skill Set Lochi (Abundance: Imaginary) Provides the team with instant and gradual healing due to the skill triggering when an ally's HP drops to 50% or less, as well as the "Magic Circle" mechanics. During the existence of the zone on the battlefield, any hits heal both the attacker and the rest of the allies when pumping the "Consecrated" trace.

The male merchant also stands out because, despite belonging to the healer class, he can deal damage to an area with a super ability, and as an additional bonus, remove one buff from all targets at once. At the same time, the imaginary element type allows you to delay their actions when breaking through the enemy's resistance. The unit will fit into any squad and will bring significant benefits when passing high-level content. However, heroes who play from bonus attacks or those who sacrifice their own/others' health to increase damage will be more happy with him.

Fu Xuan

Fu Xuan (Save: Quantum) — a support character with her own features that distinguish her from other representatives of this class. For example, she does not apply shields, but can redirect 65% of damage received by allies to herself, increase their HP and crit. chance, and also heal the entire squad if the "Dunjia Prophecy" trace is open. The Seer combines the functionality of several Paths at once: Harmony, Abundance and Preservation, which makes her a fairly versatile fighter.

With proper rotation and selection of characteristics, the girl becomes an excellent support, who can maintain the survivability of the team without outside help. At the same time, she is undemanding to the build or equipment, since it is enough to equip a free or epic cone and collect as much health as possible, affecting the entire set of her skills. It is impossible not to mention the super ability that deals damage in an area, which will also provide additional support to the team.

A-rank characters

These heroes have no less potential than S+ and S ranks both in terms of damage and efficiency. The only drawback is that they are easier to replace and/or have certain nuances that prevent them from reaching their full potential.

Yunli

Yunli (Destruction: Physical) represents a more flexible alternative Clare (Destruction: Physical), as it follows the same Path and has an identical damage type. Skills focus on consistently reflecting blows and then inflicting damage. The main source of damage is the super ability, which imposes the "Block" status and allows you to perform the most powerful move.

During combat, the swordswoman wants to receive as many incoming hits as possible in order to counterattack and recharge her energy. Although she does not stand out among other combat characters with any unique mechanics, she is a good addition to any squad that needs a unit that can tank and at the same time act as an additional source of physical damage.

Jingliu

Jingliu (Destruction: Ice) in combat, it relies on a special state called "Spectral Transmigration", which advances its action by 100% and enhances the skill. To enter this state, it is necessary to collect status levels through the use of technique, skill, and superpower. For this reason, the build requires not only crits and attack, but also a sufficient amount of speed and energy recovery.

Mainly occupies the position of the main damage dealer. At the same time, it can act as an additional source of damage, since it does not spend skill points when using an explosive skill. The price of the boost received in the Spectral Transmigration state is the health of allies: when the heroine hits enemies in a standing position, the rest of the squad members lose HP. Thus, well-pumped healers will be needed in a team with her.

Blade

Blade (Destruction: Wind) sacrifices his health to deal devastating damage to his opponents. Despite the fact that his mechanics are somewhat reminiscent of Arlana (Destruction: Electric), Stellaron Hunter plays and builds differently. Using almost every active ability causes him to lose HP. Because of this, all damage scales from max health, which requires building the character as a tank, while balancing crits.

Blade's key feature is that it is desirable for him to receive damage during combat. Since this affects not only the damage of the ultimate, but also allows him to perform a bonus attack that deals damage to all enemies. Due to the ability to self-heal and the need to be under attack, he does not always need support in the form of shielders. However, his own healing is not so effective as to refuse healers. Therefore, the presence of heroes of the Path of Abundance in the team becomes almost a must.

Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan (Erudition: Lightning) specializes in dealing electrical damage to multiple enemies at once. Its main mechanic is Summon Lightning Lord, which significantly increases the power of his attacks. For this reason, he combines effectively with supports that specialize in strengthening summons. In particular, he is ideal in tandem with Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary), since it has the necessary and at the same time universal buffs.

Due to the high and stable area damage, General Lofu is optimally used during the passage of "Pure Fiction". However, the powerful strikes of the Lord of Lightning will also be useful against single targets. One of the key disadvantages is the fact that the hero cannot be under control effects due to the fact that his summoned creature stops working. Thus, for comfortable implementation, it is important to provide the unit with stable protection.

Argenti

Argenti (Erudition: Physical) — a character with high damage and powerful personal enhancements. The main advantage is the virtually free critical characteristics (on E0 only crit. chance), which the Knight of Beauty accumulates by hitting enemies. Having the hero in the team greatly simplifies the passage of content, where there is a battle against waves of enemies. At the same time, he demonstrates himself well in battles with elite opponents and bosses thanks to a powerful superpower.

Has a unique mechanic of two levels of the ultimate, which depends on the current amount of energy. The enhanced version of the super ability allows you to inflict increased damage on all targets. At the same time, the standard ult will almost always be charged, which can be used to finish off a wave or destroy vulnerabilities at a critical moment. Since the knight's damage comes mainly from the ult, it can be highly dependent on the speed of energy accumulation. In conjunction with him, supports that can "fill" the bank are highly recommended.

Himeko

Himeko (Erudition: Fire) specializes in performing a bonus attack. Can be assembled as a classic combat unit with crits or as a character playing from penetration. Mainly plays the role of an additional damage dealer due to the fact that it does not need constant consumption of skill points and supports the squad quite well, making attacks outside of its turn.

The main "minuses" include the presence of fairly strong competition from other DPS units and the lack of versatility in the arsenal of techniques. In addition, Himeko begins to significantly sag in battles against single targets or opponents that cannot be penetrated, which limits her potential. In the latter case, it becomes more difficult to activate bonus attacks, which make up a significant part of the total damage.

Topaz and Numby

Topaz (Hunt: Fire) — a representative with high damage to one target, which is provided by coordinating the girl's actions with the Accountant's bonus attacks. With the skill, the senior KMM employee imposes the "Certificate of Debt" status on the enemy, thereby marking the enemy as a target for the companion's strike. This effect has a list of enhancements for the piggy bank and the squad as a whole - the damage received by the enemy from bonus strikes increases.

In the squad, she mainly occupies the position of a secondary damage dealer. Although her damage multipliers are high enough to deal all the damage alone, she is best revealed in combination with heroes with similar mechanics. When choosing a squad for the girl, it is also worth considering that the heroine does not have AoE skills, which means she will need help in battles against numerous groups of enemies.

Moze

Moze (Hunt: Electo) is considered an epic version of Topaz, since his abilities and eidolons are similarly aimed at strengthening characters with bonus attack mechanics. He himself acts as an additional damage dealer and after using the skill, attacks opponents from the "shadow". A pretty good ally, revealing the features of many heroes with counterattacks and other additional blows.

It is well suited for F2P players, as it is a gentle unit in terms of assembly. Among the "minuses" we can highlight the demanding nature of cons that expand combat potential, and narrow focus within turn-based battles - the character demonstrates personal attack skills against single targets well, but is less effective in AoE modes.

Serval

Serval (Erudition: Electric) has quite strong area attacks and is an excellent main damage dealer for beginners. Quite convenient and easy to use, thanks to which it can be included in any composition if mass damage is required, or enemies have a weakness to the electric element. At the same time, the girl shows herself well in squads from periodic damage due to the mechanics of imposing the "Shock" status.

In later stages, Serval effectively acts as an additional source of damage, aided by the consistent damage output of his ultimate and the extremely low skill point cost, making him a versatile support for endgame content and excelling in Pure Fiction.

Pioneer (Harmony)

MC (Harmony: Imaginary) — a free legendary character who distributes bonuses that increase such a characteristic as the "penetration effect". Due to the fact that this parameter is highly specialized, the hero himself is best revealed in certain squads that "play" from the rapid decrease in the enemy's resistance scale. Moreover, the Pathfinder combines especially well with those who benefit from "super penetration", which means he is an excellent budget partner for the Firefly (Destruction: Fire).

Tingyun

Tingyun (Harmony: Lightning) — a fairly strong epic support specializing in increasing the power of allies. The heroine is able to significantly increase the damage of her main damage dealer, making her an excellent 4⭐️ alternative to legendary buffers. Mainly focused on increasing attack power and energy recovery, which means she will be useful for characters with an "expensive" superpower, or those who open from the ultimate (for example, physical Argenti).

Bailu

Bailu (Abundance: Electric) — a standard healer who provides the squad with timely support in the form of mass healing. Can heal instantly or apply the "Cheerfulness" effect, which additionally restores HP to allies in case of damage. Lady Dragon is a "pure" representative of Abundance without additional functions, since all her abilities are aimed only at maintaining the health of her partners.

Despite the fact that Baylu is the only character capable of resurrection (no Eidolons or anything else required), this unique feature pales in comparison to other supports who can remove debuffs through their skills. With each patch, more and more enemies are added that inflict negative statuses, making a team without a support who can remove debuffs extremely easy prey.

Gepard

Cheetah (Save: Ice) — 5⭐️ standard character whose main purpose is to impose strong shields on all allies with a super ability. Thanks to the taunt mechanic, he takes some of the hits on himself, and after receiving fatal damage, he can restore a certain amount of HP and return to the battle with a full supply of energy. He also increases his own attack power based on defense and freezes enemies with a skill.

In a team with the Silvermane Sentinels commander, the need for healers sometimes disappears altogether, since his shield significantly reduces the likelihood of receiving incoming damage. He is also well adapted to late-game content, increasing the team's survivability against powerful opponents. The main inconvenience when using the hero is associated with dependence on the ult, without which it will not be possible to activate shields. In this regard, Cheetah is less comfortable to use than the same imaginary Aventurine or any of the new Abundance units.

B-rank characters

These heroes have good potential, but there are certain drawbacks that prevent them from climbing to a higher position. However, with proper investment, pumping and support from other team members, they are able to compete with the previous ranks or become a great addition to them.

Imbibitor Lunae

Moon Eater (Destruction: Imaginary) has high damage to single targets and groups of enemies. Despite the fact that the representatives of the Path of Destruction are distinguished by their versatility (if necessary, they are able to act as both the main and secondary DD-heroes), the legendary form of Dan Heng is not similar to his classmates: the reason lies in the peculiarity of its mechanics associated with the skill "Unrestrained". Using it up to 3 times, the elder Vidyadhara strengthens the basic attack, thus, from the "Lotus of Patronage" the skill is transformed into a more powerful form, which inflicts stunning damage in numbers both to the selected target and to those adjacent to it.

This feature of the skill involves constant expenditure of skill points. After activating the ultimate ability, they can be replaced by consuming "Dragon Scales", but even this "indulgence" in the form of a convenient equivalent will not always save at the decisive moment of the battle. The named reason puts the legendary hero only in the role of the main DPS character: the position of a secondary damage dealer, although possible, will not allow Dan Heng to open up at all.

Clara

Clara (Destruction: Physical) can act as a tank, damage dealer, and support at the same time. Has excellent base stats except for speed, which becomes unimportant as her combat style is based on counterattacks. Her ultimate reduces damage taken and increases counterattack damage, and her technique allows her to draw the attention of enemies to herself at the start of a battle.

The wandering girl works well with healers who can protect the team and restore its health. The only problem with the heroine is her specialization in protracted battles. The little one cannot boast high damage numbers, which means she either requires Harmony and/or Oblivion units, or is used exclusively as a secondary damage dealer.

Xueyi

Xueyi (Destruction: Quantum) plays mainly from the penetration effect. Has good damage against bosses and elite monsters, since the main skills are focused on destroying single targets. The only source of damage in the area is the skill and the bonus attack from the talent, but even in this case, the damage does not reach all targets, which can complicate the passage of such a combat activity as "Pure Fiction".

Considered a good companion for the Hall of Oblivion and Illusion of the End. Such advantages as effective penetration of vulnerability, flexible playstyle and built-in bonuses to important combat indicators make it a good support for the main damage dealer, whose gameplay is also built on reducing durability. However, with proper pumping, it can also act as an independent combat unit in the early stages of content.

Doctor Ratio

Dr. Ratio (The Hunt: Imaginary) has unusual mechanics compared to heroes of his class. The main feature of the scientist from the "Guild of Erudites" is that the main source of his damage is bonus attacks, and the frequency of their actions directly depends on the number of negative statuses affecting the enemy. The ideal support characters for Veritas are units of Nothingness.

Despite the fact that the doctor, as a representative of the Path of the Hunt, deals high damage to single targets and is actually a worthy representative of his class, beginners are unlikely to cope with his needs. The very demandingness, given the above-described features, lies in the mandatory presence of debuffers in the squad, who are capable of imposing negative bonuses (at least 3 weakening support is required). After all, this determines how often Dr. Ratio can bonus attack. Beginners are limited to debuffing heroes, the only worthy option for them at the initial stages of the game can only be the icy Pela, and she will need additional bonuses in the form of a light cone Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat or the fourth eidolon.

Seele

Zele (Hunt: Quantum) effectively against large elite opponents and bosses. Has mechanics that allow her to re-attack after defeating a target, which makes her quite mobile during combat. At the same time, high base speed and the ability to apply buffs to herself further enhance her potential in the context of completing combat content. The girl's main problems are the high consumption of skill points and a certain dependence on equipment/allies.

Despite having her own bonuses, they are not always enough to deal with any opponents she encounters on her own. In addition, the endgame increasingly offers battles with "dense" opponents, even ordinary ones, which does not allow the girl to adequately demonstrate the uniqueness of her own "repeat move" mechanics.

Qingque

Qingque (Erudition: Electric) — a free epic heroine with original abilities tied to the extraction of jade bones. Will be especially interesting for those who like to study the game mechanics, working out the best strategy for combat. Despite the fact that the character can demonstrate numbers comparable to many legendary event damage dealers, her effectiveness varies greatly depending on the situation.

The instability of the damage dealt is directly related to the "bones" mechanics, since the outcome of this event is random, which means that at a critical moment the damage may simply not be enough. However, as an alternative, the heroine can be used in the position of a secondary damage dealer with a lower speed. In this case, she does not consume so many skill points, and the team becomes less dependent on randomness.

Welt

Welt (Non-existence: Imaginary) — 5⭐️ debuffer from the standard banner. Can become a good unit in the long run, as it slows down enemies and applies the "Conclusion" status to them. The reduction in speed and delay in actions plays an important role, as enemies actually stop attacking allies. Thanks to this mechanic, it becomes possible to completely abandon healers/shielders in certain situations.

However, "slow" mobs are not always the best choice. There are heroes who prefer to fight against active targets, which means that Welt is not in demand in all cases. In addition, he does not have a direct impact on the overall damage of the group, just as he himself is inferior to most secondary DPS units. Despite this, he remains a good hero in his niche and can be useful for increasing survivability.

Sampo

Sampo (Non-existence: Windy) specializes in weakening. However, this is far from the main thing he offers to the team. In particular, the hero is able to deal periodic damage to several targets using the skill and talent, while the ult has a 100% chance to further increase this damage. In addition, the skill set includes a unique technique that can be used at the beginning of the battle to blind enemies and slow down their actions.

At the same time, the hero has a serious problem: his mechanics are aimed at conducting a long fight, and he himself requires fairly high speed and attack power to constantly maintain the blades on the battlefield. In addition, the character is rarely used outside of squads aimed at playing from periodic damage. Based on this, he is more likely a damage dealer in specialized builds than a classic support-debuffer.

Guinaifen

Guinaifen (Non-existence: Fire) During combat, she relies on fire damage from the Burning status. The skill allows the street performer to hit multiple enemies at once, applying periodic damage to each, and with her superpower, she can activate it without waiting for the enemy's turn. Damage from each fire DoT status causes the Fiery Kiss debuff to appear on the targets, increasing the damage taken by enemies.

The heroine's mechanics can be considered both her advantage and her main disadvantage. AoE allows you to instantly apply "Burning" to most enemies, but they will only receive damage on their turn or after using the ultimate. This also applies to the debuff, since its application and stacking directly depends on the periodic status.

Hanya

Equipped with various enhancements and functions, Hanya (Harmony: Physical) can join any squad, regardless of the Path and damage type of the main DD. The gameplay is based on the imposition of a unique status by using a skill and buffing an ally through the ultimate. The effect imposed on the enemy increases the damage dealt and restores a skill point every second attack. The super ability increases the attack power and speed of one of the group members.

The girl is primarily in demand in "gluttonous" squads with active consumption of skill points, since she makes rotation in such builds much easier and more comfortable. Of her possible disadvantages, it is worth noting that the negative status does not increase the damage of periodic damage and bonus attacks, just as it does not restore action points in this case. In addition, she has low base stamina, which is why she may require investments in eidolons and relics to maximize her potential.

Asta

Asta (Harmony: Fire) is given for free for the first "Jump" in any of the banners and is able to provide worthy support to the team. With the help of talent, she accumulates charges that stack up to 5 times, thanks to this she buffs the attack power of allies. However, the most important feature of the girl is the ult, which increases the speed of all partners, which provides a significant advantage in battle.

The Lead Researcher also seems to be a great character for Fire units, as she has an Ignite trace that increases the damage of that element by 8%. This makes a Mono-Fire unit a viable strategy. Asta's main drawback, however, is that her usefulness decreases when she gets legendary supports that provide similar buffs or advance the action.

Lynx

The Lynx (Abundance: Quantum) lies in her skill, which not only powerfully heals, but also increases the chance of a Preservation/Destruction character being attacked due to the "Survival Reaction" status. Thus, squads with units that want to be constantly in the "sights" of enemies gain an additional advantage.

Another "plus" of the girl is her super ability, which has both mass healing and the mechanic of removing 1 weakening from all allies. In addition, the researcher is good at spreading statuses responsible for periodic healing, and at E1 she begins to give increases to attack power when applying "Survival Reaction", which will be useful for most DPS characters. In general, Lynx is an excellent healer who competes well in terms of efficiency with other representatives of Abundance. Especially with proper pumping and a good selection of equipment.

C-rank characters

A number of legendary and epic units, which are less relevant heroes because they require serious investments, and also have alternative characters that, in comparison, perform similar functions much better.

Misha

Misha (Destruction: Ice), whose key skill is a super ability. The ultimate works by "bounce" and allows you to accumulate up to 10 additional hits by using the skill. The advantage of the mechanics of multiple damage is its effectiveness against elite opponents and bosses, thanks to which the guy is considered a good secondary damage dealer.

Additional gameplay conveniences include the low cost of the super ability and the talent, due to which any spent action point stacks the ultimate skill. In addition to the role of a damage dealer, it can also act as a debuffer, freezing enemies and reducing their defense when eidolons are open. However, the doorman has a significant drawback - extremely low base speed. When building, you will have to get a sufficient number of characteristic units, while balancing the parameters that affect damage.

Arlan

Arlan (Destruction: Electric) combines skills that deal damage to both single and multiple targets. Has a talent that sacrifices part of HP in exchange for increased damage, which is both his strength and weakness. At the beginning and middle of the game, the mechanics with health loss can cause some inconvenience and even complicate the gameplay. In addition, the hero cannot boast of high damage numbers even with significant investments. Basically, he occupies the position of additional DD in the team, if there are no other electro characters. In this regard, the young man is very convenient because he does not spend skill points at all.

Yanqing

Yanqing (The Hunt: Ice) — 5⭐️ standard damage dealer, who is aimed at fighting against single opponents. Because of this, it is mainly suitable only for content that requires destroying bosses or elite monsters. In other scenarios, its effectiveness is significantly reduced. At the beginning of the game, he can easily close the position of the main DD even with minimal investment and go through any content. However, later the hero faces high competition and a lack of damage even in his field, which will have to be carefully compensated for by significant investments in equipment, eidolons and allies.

Dan Heng

Dan Heng (Hunt: Wind) — a comfortable epic DPS character for F2P players. Together with March 7 (Save) makes a great combo early in the game, allowing you to get through any content without much effort. The hero deals good single-target damage and is useful in boss fights, while the same free Pathfinder (Destruction) can help in destroying groups of enemies.

The main feature of the young man is that he uses his skill to reduce the enemy's speed. Slowing down is a strong mechanic that provides an advantage in combat, especially against powerful enemies. This character, like physical Sushan, will be a great choice for beginners. However, later on it begins to significantly lag behind damage dealers, which are located at higher positions of the tier list.

Sushan

Sushan (Hunting: Physical) is focused on destroying single targets. It is a good starting damage dealer that will help in battle against dense opponents with physical vulnerability. It is quite “fast” and has high skill multipliers, which allows it to remain relevant until the middle of the game. However, a considerable part of the potential is hidden behind the eidolons, and the damage drops noticeably if the enemy’s weakness is not penetrated on a regular basis. At the same time, at later stages, additional problems with closing the endgame modes may arise, especially without legendary equipment and powerful supports.

Luka

Luke (Non-Existence: Physical) focuses on dealing DoT damage to a single enemy by applying Bleeding. The hero's gameplay is built around a set of special stacks called the Will to Fight status. This effect enhances the basic attack, allowing it to deal additional damage if the attack is made on an enemy that is taking periodic physical damage.

The young man is good in battles against bosses in the "Hall of Oblivion" and "Illusion of the End" due to the fact that the damage dealt during "Bleeding" depends on the target's max HP. In addition, he has a high chance of increasing all incoming damage to the enemy after activating the ult, which together makes him a good ally in content against dense mobs. He mainly plays in DoT teams, since in other cases he has more powerful alternatives.

Pioneer (Destruction)

Pathfinder (Destruction: Physical) — a legendary hero for the starting content. Has balanced stats and abilities that work against one or more targets: the ult allows you to choose to use an enhanced AoE skill or a single blow. At the same time, it combines not only combat mechanics, but also partly healing ones: the technique immediately heals all allies by 15% of their maximum HP outside of battle, which is useful in the "Virtual Universe" or the open world.

This Path for the Pathfinder is a good option only at the beginning of the game, since later the character becomes of little demand, and the versions of other classes are many times more effective (in particular, Harmony and Memory).

Hook

Hook (Destruction: Fire) — an epic character who wields the element of fire and specializes in setting one enemy (or several targets with the fourth eidolon) on fire. Can deal good damage to single targets and in an area if the skill is enhanced by a super ability. Pairs well with free Asta, which gives a fire damage bonus, which allows the heroine to further increase her DPS.

The Moles boss is quite strong with Eidolons unlocked and legendary gear early in the content, but has fairly average stats that become noticeable as you progress through the game.

Yukong

Yukun (Harmony: Imaginary) — 4⭐️ free support that imposes various buffs: increased attack power, crit. damage/chance. Despite the extensive functionality, the main feature, which is also a disadvantage, is the mechanics of gaining levels to obtain the "Roaring Bowstring" status - it is on this that the work of bonuses depends. At the same time, for each action of one of the team members, a level is removed, which forces you to constantly think ahead.

Despite the fact that the character is free, it is quite difficult to implement, especially for beginners. In addition, even with the maximum potential, Yukun cannot be called a relevant support, since there are much more versatile and comfortable to use heroes, including epic ones.

Natasha

Natasha (Abundance: Physical) — an epic free healer, all of whose skills are aimed at healing and support. The girl can heal one ally using a skill, and with the help of the ultimate, restore the health of the entire group. Additionally, it is impossible not to note the ability to remove 1 weakening of an ally.

However, as the game progresses, her healing efficiency begins to noticeably drop compared to other healers, forcing you to look for alternatives.

Pathfinder (Save)

Pioneer (Save: Fire) focuses on protecting his allies. Takes enemy attacks, applies shields to all squad members, and deals damage to multiple targets, which allows him to act as an additional source of damage. For maximum effectiveness, it is important to equip a 5⭐️ Light Cone and unlock all Eidolons. However, it is worth considering that even with the best legendary gear, the character may not be able to maintain the survivability of the team in the late stages of the game without a healer.

March 7 (Save)

March 7 (Save: Icy) — a free starting character of 4⭐️ rarity. The main task of the heroine during the battle is to impose a shield on one ally, as well as to inflict additional damage with the help of superpowers and bonus attacks. At the start, she can support the squad well, but when passing later story bosses or fighting more powerful enemies, she is often unable to cope with her task alone. As a rule, she is placed together with a healer, and later replaced with a more versatile support.

Tier list system

The basis of the tier list is the ratings for different endgame format activities, which are updated once per patch. These include "Hall of Oblivion", "Pure Fiction" and "Illusion of the End". The ranking tables include both epic characters and legendary ones (standard and event). Positions are distributed between categories from S+ to C. The evaluation criteria are as follows:

• personal experience;
• optimal team and support composition;
• a hero of maximum level 80 with upgraded tracks and skills to at least level 8;
• number of eidolons: 0 - for legendary characters, 6 - for four-star units.

In high-level endgame-type modes, it is taken into account uniqueness of heroes in the positions initially allocated for them:

• DD-efficiency: AoE potential for Pure Fiction, single damage for Hall of Oblivion memories, damage versatility for Illusions of the End levels;
• SUP efficiency: universality of distributed positive bonuses and consistency of their support;
• DEBUFF efficiency: universality of distributed debuffs and consistency of their support.

In addition to narrowly focused ratings, a shooting range based on overall uniqueness of the characters. It takes into account the speed with which the hero succumbs to current activities, starting with the story campaign and ending with high-level branches Simulated Universe.

Modes such as the Hall of Oblivion, Pure Fiction, and The Illusion of the End are being considered, but in the in a more comprehensive way, since separate tables have been created for them with more “specific” current analyses of positions.

It is worth keeping in mind that the choice of team, relics and weapons has a significant impact. Any character with good equipment can be higher in the list. Especially in the reality of turn-based strategy, their effectiveness varies depending on the specific situation on the battlefield and the tactics used by the player.
