Characters that offer an extremely high degree of utility, although may not necessarily deal a lot of damage and may be more situational than S-tier characters. Still, they're among the best units in their field. |

Slightly lower DPS potential or utility than the higher tiers, but may have one skill that you can rely on in battle oftentimes. |

C-tier characters have average damage potential and aren't recommended to be assigned as a Unit Leader but can offer support by being an Adjutant and adding extra skills. |

| Early Game | Mid Game | Late Game |
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Andrias |
Class: Soldier Weapon: Dagger Recommended Role: Leader |
| Andrias is one of the most vital characters for your party in the early game because his Assassination skill is just too powerful, especially when coupled with Shadow Step to deal some huge Ambush damage. Leaping Attack is also a good small AoE skill that does good crowd control for a small group of enemies. | |
| Fredret |
Class: Cavalier Weapon: Lance Recommended Role: Leader |
| From the very first moment, it becomes clear that Fredret possesses mobility like no other character. On his horse, he can move quickly to kite enemy troops, or quickly maneuver around to get behind them with the skill Full Frontal Assault. Mounted Charge does wonders to push enemies back and gather them at a fixed point. | |
| Waltaquin |
Class: Magicker Weapon: Staff Recommended Role: Leader or Adjutant |
| The moment you are able to add her to your roster, Waltaquin instantly becomes a very welcome addition. Her healing abilities Convalescent Circle and Hurried Heal will get your party through the difficult bosses of Chapter 1. Moreover, Meteor Fall provides some good, wide AoE and sustained damage. |
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Andrias |
Class: Soldier Weapon: Dagger Recommended Role: Leader or Adjutant |
| Andrias will start to learn more advanced skills like Shadow Step, which is an amazingly powerful skill. Andrias is still very powerful in the mid game and deserves to be kept in your team comp. | |
| Umarida |
Class: Sharpshooter Weapon: Firearm Recommended Role: Leader |
| Umarida elevates the Sharpshooter class to another level, providing top-tier DPS through large crit rate and crit damage increases. Let her do Ambush damage from behind with powerful AoE skills, and you'll be tearing through enemies like they're nothing. Furthermore, her cheaper Abilities focus on skill damage, so you would need to invest less AP to watch her damage soar. | |
| Shivat |
Class: Magicker Weapon: Wand Recommended Role: Leader or Adjutant |
| Healers are an absolute necessity, and Shivat stands above the rest by having higher base EP, a great Heal ability and massive boosts to healing, and a party-wide cooldown time reduction ability. Shivat may not do great damage right off the bat, but his presence will make sure your party survives longer and fights better. |
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Andrias |
Class: Soldier Weapon: Dagger Recommended Role: Leader or Adjutant |
| Again, Andrias proves that he is one of the most valuable characters in the game, as he is still powerful and viable due to his amazing older skills but also gains a new powerful skill in Avatar Rush, which can decimate single-target enemies. | |
| Umarida |
Class: Sharpshooter Weapon: Firearm Recommended Role: Leader |
| Equip Umarida with a Dragon Claw Bangle, which increases crit rate by 100%, and she'll be decimating enemies with huge firepower. By the late game, she is the ultimate DPS. | |
| Zoruaq |
Class: Cavalier Weapon: Claws Recommended Role: Adjutant |
| Wyvern Riders have better crowd control skills than horse-riders in general, so Zoruaq will be a top choice for Cavalier in your party. Although he has good crit rate buffs and recovers a bit of HP dealing damage, the crowd control skill Wings of the Storm and DPS skill Cyclone make claw-equipped Cavaliers a necessary part of your team. | |
| Chappleman |
Class: Cavalier Weapon: Claws Recommended Role: Leader |
| Chappleman, like Zoruaq, is a fantastic choice for Cavalier, as Wyvern Riders have better crowd control skills than horse-riders in general. His passive abilities make him an auto-attack beast, increasing auto-attack damage and attack speed, allowing him to conserve EP for the more expensive Cavalier skills. |
