S-Tier Characters
Heroes
Features
Aisha
Essential early-game healer with low skill cost for easy Harmony synergy who also deals exceptional burst damage.
Ka’liaserin
Excels in PvE with burst DPS, powerful ranged magical DPS with high multipliers, and stun skills for crowd control, making it a must-pull for any team.
Rachel
Strong magical damage dealer with high PvE viability that’s currently on rate-up for easy acquisition.
Rin
Consistent meta staple with excellent team synergies and high physical DPS with flex potential.
Setia
Top-tier PvE scaler who pairs perfectly with Aisha and Ka’liaserin, being able to dominate the meta as the best long-term unit.
A-Tier Characters
Heroes
Features
Ash
Excellent boss killer with high melee damage output, strong burst potential, and self-ATK buffs via Harmony skill.
Eika
Versatile DPS with strong adaptability across all game modes, who fits agile and utility-based team comps, although has limited burst compared to pure DPS.
Elfina
Here’s a strong PvE performer with reliable damage output and excellent synergy in buff-based teams, but slightly outclassed by S-tier burst units in raw power.
Irina
Use this Vanguard for consistent sustained damage with crowd-control utility across both PvE and PvP modes.
Lapis
Accessible and reliable healer with excellent support skills, such as enemy DEF debuffs, ally HP recovery, and debuff removal via Symphony of Life.
Nimue
Flexible kit allows Nimue to gain strong synergies in a number of diverse teams, but requires coordinated team comps to shine fully.
B-Tier Characters
Heroes
Features
Elena
This is an accessible F2P unit for all players with essential early-game utility, who provides basic debuffs for teams, yet she has limited impact in high-end PvE and PvP modes.
Florin
Stable damage dealer who can work as a sub-DPS that’s easy to integrate into early-to-mid game team, just don’t expect her to perform equally well in the later stages of the game.
Flolen
Flexible support unit with physical utility and a decent early-game enabler for Harmony synergies, who should be easily replaced by higher tier supporters like Aisha, Lapis or Nimue.
Ruby
Starter frontline defender with debuffs on enemies and buffs for allies, who can be a good early-game tank, holding line effectively in PvE or Arena without the true DPS potential.
Yoru
Here’s another solid physical DPS for early clears that’s usable in specific physically weak content, but struggles against magical and enemies with physical resistances.
The remaining four Vanguards are seriously underpowered and can be used only as niche supports, although the current meta is highly competitive and doesn’t tolerate weak chains, such as Areu, Linette, Louise, or Xan.
