New Characters Evaluation

Character Preliminary Assessment
MementoMori - Treasured Fenrir IconTreasured Fenrir Rank:
C Tier (DPS)

• Need to significantly raise her rarity to be an effective attacker, as well as being paired up with a stronger DPS/attacker.
• Reliable in long battles, which in turn makes her less suitable for quick battles or quick farming as she's expected to survive until 7+ turns for her abilities to truly be effective
MementoMori - Treasured Cerberus IconTreasured Cerberus Rank:
B Tier (DPS)

• Treasured Cerberus is better suited as a sub-attacker especially due to inconsistent nature of her random-targetting attack. Overall, she shines better as a tank with her skillset.
 ┗She can be a good hard counter to enemies that utilizes Multi-Barrier.

Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - Witch Illya IconWitch Illya • One of the better offensive units in the game as of this writing. Illya's chaos version not only starts the battle with attacks with high hit count, but she develops it when her team takes ten hits from the enemy, and her second active skill suddenly has no more cooldowns, allowing her to deal massive amounts of damage.
MementoMori - Fia IconFia • Fia is still one of the best units in the game because she deals damage to the enemy by turning their damage against them with her attacks.
• Though she will need heavy investment to have the right stats to survive long enough to absorb the enemy's damage and turn it against them, this is offset by how she can still be useful even in high-level PvP once players transition to fighting in the Battle League.
MementoMori - Summer Amleth IconSummer Amleth • Summer Amleth is a powerful DPS, debuffer, and tank whose main strength is her lack of any real drawbacks or weaknesses. As long as she stays alive until at least the seventh turn, she retains her attack power and even grows it with her ATK self-buffs.

Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - Sivi IconSivi • Sivi is a perfect partner to many powerful main DPS units for PvE because the longer she stays alive, the more powerful the ATK buffs she gives to herself and allies become.
• Can also deal reasonably good damage herself if used as a DPS, but attacks suffer from low hit count.
MementoMori - Cordie IconCordie • A PvE mainstay due to how easy it is to get a copy of her and raise her rarity at little to no cost, with powerful attacks and even support capabilities.
• Can be trounced in battle due to a lack of defensive abilities; needs protection by other allies. Her attacks also suffer from low hit count.
MementoMori - Florence IconFlorence • Slower than Cordie, but her attacks not only deal reliable damage, but also have high hit counts.
• Average SPD and lack of protective options limit her usefulness, and she needs allies to cover these weaknesses.
MementoMori - Rusalka IconRusalka • Another powerful witch with main DPS potential, Rusalka not only does powerful attacks and makes her enemies deal less damage, but also becomes more powerful if her enemies defeat her. Her skills won't need to cool down anymore, she gains ATK and SPD buffs, and she even grants Multi-Barriers to herself and to her allies.
MementoMori - Paladea IconPaladea • Chaos witch who only needs to keep stacking critical hits to grow her damage, though performs better as a secondary DPS due to her low hit count. Still, a powerful secondary DPS than anything else.
MementoMori - Festive Natasha IconFestive Natasha • Another powerful Chaos damage dealer who can also tank hits with her 80% damage cut.
• Relegated to secondary DPS status because of her low hit count, but her attacks can deal damage equivalent to 1980% of her ATK compounded by DEF Break buffs.

Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - Armstrong IconArmstrong • Powerful Chaos witch with attacks that reactivate if no enemies are defeated immediately. She also gives herself ATK, CRIT DMG, and SPD buffs, on top of defensive buffs such as her 50% damage cut.
• Considering the effort needed to build a Chaos character, however, she is outclassed by other Chaos characters higher up on this list.

B+ Rank DPS Characters

S DPS A+ DPS A DPS B+ DPS B DPS C+ DPS C DPS
Go Back to Top (DPS Tier List)
Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - Amleth IconAmleth • Amleth is one of the reliable carries you can get for your party in the early game, with her rising damage once her invincibility triggers, as well as her ability to tank hits for the rest of your party.
• However, she falls off as you progress past Chapter 11 of the Main Quest, as she's unable to deal as much damage as Florence or Cordie on her own and will have to be relegated to a secondary DPS/tank role.
MementoMori - Elfriede IconElfriede • Elfriede can be a powerful damage dealer in her own right, though she needs support from allies that give buffs and/or inflict debuffs (the damage from her active skills scales off how many allies she has that are buffed/enemies that have been debuffed, respectively).
• Has powerful sustain options (90% damage cut if enemy damage exceeds 10% of her HP), though she needs her unique weapon for it.
MementoMori - Rustica IconRustica • Decent hit count with the ability to boost her ATK by herself, though this depends on how many buffs she has. Rustica will need allies to provide buffs to her so she can maximize her damage.
MementoMori - Pola IconPola • Can deal high amounts of damage to enemies, though she will need to survive until the seventh turn to do so (when her damage multiplier for her first active kicks in).
• She will need to be paired with tanks like Fia to draw damage away from her and survive, though she also has a 65% damage cut that can also help.
MementoMori - Potpourri IconPotpourri • Powerful DPS that can potentially deal up to 2720% ATK damage with her second skill, but she will need to live long enough to stack her Spoken Charm buff (and be teamed up with at least two other Amber soul teammates to stack the buff fast).
MementoMori - Meria IconMeria • If she's upgraded at least to LR rarity and has managed to stack her Growth Factor buff, Meria can deal good damage in fights with both her active skills boasting decent hit counts.

B Rank DPS Characters

Jump to a Section!
S DPS A+ DPS A DPS B+ DPS B DPS C+ DPS C DPS
Go Back to Top (DPS Tier List)
Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - A.A. IconA.A. • A fairly tanky DPS with a decent hit count and strengthened basic attack. With her unique weapon at base rarity, she has an 85% damage cut for four turns.
• Once those four turns are up, however, she becomes more vulnerable to damage.
MementoMori - Valeriede IconValeriede • High hit count and capable of sustaining by self-healing and damage cut, Valeriede is a decent chaos unit that's only outclassed by other Chaos units up in the list in terms of overall damage.
MementoMori - Natasha IconNatasha • Natasha is a decent DPS with relatively low hit count and needs to stack STR to ensure that she maximises both her damage and her ability to inflict debuffs.
MementoMori - Belle IconBelle • A DPS with decent hit count, she could've been even more powerful if she had more damage self-buffs (for example, a buff that scaled off her Bleed buff).
• Has some sustain in the form of a damage cut that nullifies all damage if the damage exceeds 20% of her HP. This can be a tough threshold to hit.
MementoMori - Liselotte IconLiselotte • A competent magical DPS whose HP needs to stay above 50% to work optimally. She also needs a support unit to buff her chance to deal a critical hit to trigger another ATK buff.
• The only problem with her is that she does not have a decent way of sustaining herself aside from Regeneration, so she will need someone to protect her.
MementoMori - Uniform A.A. IconUniform A.A. • More of a secondary DPS rather than a main, but deals great AoE damage up front when she's fully upgraded and even does an extra attack with her second active skill if her initial attack got blocked by a multi-barrier (useful against witches that summon 1 multi-barrier for protection for themselves or others).
MementoMori - Asahi IconAsahi • A great unit to field against other units that rely on ramping damage to win battles, such as Illya's God's Curse form, as well as other damage dealers such as Florence. However, she's a glass cannon even with her DEF buffs (unless she's in a majority-Amber team, and even then, it still takes some luck).
MementoMori - Nebra IconNebra • Though she's more of a buff support character, Nebra can act as a secondary DPS as well, especially when paired with a witch that deals debuffs (her second active skill deals up to 1140% damage if the target is afflicted with a debuff).
MementoMori - Yildiz IconYildiz • Though she's a strong support unit for Emerald units, Yildiz is confined to a secondary DPS role, with both her active skills dealing middle-of-the-pack damage.
MementoMori - Ringmaster Cordie IconRingmaster Cordie • A useful support unit for teams with Azure witches (Florence, Amleth) as DPS mains, as she can give them Multi-Barriers for protection. She can also deal good damage in her own right as a secondary DPS, with her active skills capable of dealing up to 1320% and 1180% damage, respectively.
MementoMori - Treasured Cerberus IconTreasured Cerberus • Treasured Cerberus is better suited as a sub-attacker especially due to inconsistent nature of her random-targetting attack. Overall, she shines better as a tank with her skillset.
 ┗She can be a good hard counter to enemies that utilizes Multi-Barrier.
MementoMori - Carmilla IconCarmilla • Has the potential to be a decent "executioner" type attacker especially with her [Bleed] and PM. DEF Break debuffs.
 ┗Her damage output potential scales according to her ATK, as well as the enemies' debuff status. For this reason, it might be tricky to rely on her as the main attacker in some situations.
• Considerably expensive to build and level up to unlock full potential.

C+ Rank Main DPS Characters

Go Back to Top (DPS Tier List)
Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - Summer Sabrina IconSummer Sabrina • Summer Sabrina's strength lies in how her second active skill can deal multiple critical hits if its first attack deals a critical hit, resulting in a somewhat high damage output.
• However, she's more of a support character with DPS-like abilities than a main damage dealer, as she has traded damage for utility (such as the Fainted debuff and buff dispelling).
MementoMori - Artie IconArtie • Her active skills have high hit count, and she can grow her damage by hitting enemies with a critical hit if they happen to be afflicted with a debuff. However, her overall damage output isn't as high as other characters on this list, and she would have to be buffed by other characters (such as Winter Soltina).
MementoMori - Stella IconStella • Though her second active skill's damage output is high, her low hit count and lack of defensive options aside from her 50% DEF buff don't make her a viable main carry. She's more useful as a support due to her Silence debuffs, which can save your team from getting wiped out by the Main Quest's overleveled bosses.
MementoMori - Sophia IconSophia • Though her attacks have high hit count, she has ultimately middling damage and not many sustain options except for a buff to her chance to receive a critical hit. • Her unique weapon can give her a 55% Counter buff, though she might not survive any hits; she should be able to counter without any help.
MementoMori - Cerberus IconCerberus • What's interesting about Cerberus is that she can instantly defeat any enemy whose HP is lower than 1500% of her own ATK. But this can be hard to trigger due to how inflated the stats of enemies in the main quest are.
MementoMori - Luke IconLuke • Luke may not be as useful in the Main Quest, but she is useful in a particular PvE mode (Guild Battle) as a support character that can make enemies take more damage while also lowering their ATK.
• She deals decent damage, but her low hit count and lack of survivability keep her from being more than just a secondary DPS.
MementoMori - Nina IconNina • Can act as a secondary DPS that has some sustain through her high EVD and general tankiness, but is more useful as a buff stealer (especially useful when dealing with enemy Amleths in the main quest).
MementoMori - Mimi IconMimi • Mimi has the makings of a DPS with how she can increase her number of attacks and how she has her own ATK buffs, but the fact that these ATK buffs only kick in if she hasn't taken any damage for two turns (which might be impossible) limits her usefulness.
MementoMori - Dian IconDian • Dian also seems to be designed to be a heavy damage dealer, but her way of doing so (drawing from her own HP) in a PvE mode that has notoriously overleveled enemies will likely result in her dying faster in battle instead.
• She's more useful as a support witch who can boost your main carry's EVD by 50%, saving them from potentially fatal enemy attacks.
MementoMori - Amour IconAmour • Amour isn't really known for dealing damage in PvE and is more used for her support functions (tanking hits, inflicting Blight , etc.). But she can be useful whenever she's defeated and damages the enemy with 15% of the total damage she took in the last 20 turns (which might as well be the entire battle).
MementoMori - Moddey IconModdey • Moddey can potentially deal massive damage if she just manages to live long enough to do it. Her damage over time via the Poison debuffs she gives to enemies and her Counter Shift status are both potentially damaging engines, if only she weren't so easy to defeat.
MementoMori - Sonya IconSonya • Sonya can be strong against single targets, but in the Main Quest, where it's important to withstand or take out as many enemies as possible, this is not ideal. She may be useful as a secondary DPS, but that's as far as she will go.
MementoMori - Soltina IconSoltina • Her active skills both deal good damage, though she's more known for her ability to tank hits with her multi-barriers and inflicting Fainted and Sleep debuffs.
MementoMori - Winter Tropon IconWinter Tropon • Even though her active skills have low hit counts, Winter Tropon's attacks could've dealt massive amounts of damage to enemies with high HP. If only the damage of her first skill is not capped by her ATK stat, that is.
MementoMori - Tainted Iris IconTainted Iris • Though her active skills deal relatively high damage, Tainted Iris serves better as a protector of your actual main DPS units, who can also decrease their ATK (as an added bonus, she deals extra damage to those hit by her decrease ATK debuff).
MementoMori - Claudia IconClaudia • Can deal massive damage, but the problem with Claudia is how her damage scales with how little HP she has left (when her enemies are more than likely to defeat her with one attack).
MementoMori - Morgana IconMorgana • Morgana suffers the same problem Dian has in that she trades damage for HP when the damage she dishes out is not commensurate with what she will need to take down enemies in the Main Quest. If she wants to be powerful enough to do so, she will have to be in a full Crimson team (so she gets 10% ATK buffs from each one of them).
MementoMori - Milla IconMilla • Not really known for her offensive capabilities, but is perfectly capable of inflicting big damage with her second active skill. However, she needs to have been healed through active skills (including her own) six times before she can unlock up to 1920% ATK damage (if she has her unique weapon). This may become impossible for PvE players whose characters can be defeated after one hit by overleveled enemies.
MementoMori - Eirene IconEirene • Her main utility is in lowering her enemies' DEF, though her second active skill can deal decent damage if she manages to use it for the third time onward. That is, if the battle even reaches that point in the first place.
MementoMori - Artoria IconArtoria • With Artoria, she takes a while to build up her damage via her Rousing Justice buff, while risking being defeated almost immediately (she damages herself in a situation where the DPS is supposed to keep healthy as long as possible). She does have decent multi-hit and is pretty good in certain PvE modes like Guild Raid, but that just makes her niche.
MementoMori - Spring Shizu IconSpring Shizu • Similar problem to Artoria, but her damage windup is faster and she has defensive abilities that sustain her somewhat. Still needs to stack DEF to have an ATK buff, though. Also, there's a good chance her last passive might not see its full potential since it relies on her having a higher DEF than her enemy.
MementoMori - Lucille IconLucille • Lucile could be a decent DPS considering how her damage ramp up can be rather fast (if she or others in her team deal damage to themselves to attack, Lucille inflicts a debuff on the enemy, and she deals more damage to enemies inflicted with debuffs). Still, she suffers from the same problem as Crimson DPSs are with how they can be easily defeated before doing any meaningful damage, on top of damaging themselves.
MementoMori - Moineau IconMoineau • More of a debuffer support than a main damage dealer, Moineau nonetheless deals decent AoE damage to enemies and will even deal up to 2450% AoE ATK damage (with a UR rarity unique weapon and fully upgraded) if she manages to use her second active skill for the third time onward (which could be out of reach but possible if someone else tanks hits in the meantime).
MementoMori - Flack IconFlack • She can deal decent damage as a secondary DPS, though she suffers the same problem other Crimson units on this list suffer from when it comes to trading HP for damage.
MementoMori - Lumica IconLumica • Not too impressive damage for a Radiance unit whose only real niche is being able to bypass Multi-Barriers (which, in PvE, can usually be dealt with by dealing more attacks).
MementoMori - Kaguya IconKaguya • More known for her debuffs than her damage, Kaguya's attacks deal lower damage (while being AoE and dealing debuffs). To deal actual damage, she's supposed to take hits from the enemy and damage them with Counter Shift, but she may end up being defeated by the enemy before she can deal enough damage because of how overleveled enemies are in PvE.
MementoMori - Ophelia IconOphelia • Ophelia's designed to take hits from the enemy and deal damage by countering. But just like Kaguya, she also has a problem of having to take damage to deal damage. Since she has Taunt and will attract all enemy attacks for a while, she could be useful for stalling, but not much else.
MementoMori - Rean IconRean • For those who are using her in the early parts of the Main Quest, Rean is an almost fine DPS unit to use. However, her CRIT buff from her last passive skill requires her HP to go below 50% and still survive. This is nearly impossible to happen, especially in late-game PvE, as enemies can simply one-shot your units..
MementoMori - Sabrina IconSabrina • While useful for the SPD debuffs she can inflict on the enemy, Sabrina isn't much of a DPS that can carry the team because of her lack of damage and critical self-buffs. This alone makes many DPS units (who have at least one or two self-buffs) outclass her.
MementoMori - Minasumari IconMinasumari • A niche unit with middling hit count. She's used more to protect more viable DPS units from damage with her Stealth buff, and she does more damage to Sniper-type witches (which are rare to encounter in the Main Quest. Even if you do encounter them (like Cordie), other DPSs can take care of them.
MementoMori - Primavera IconPrimavera • Can be a decent offensive unit if she's fully awakened (since she deals damage to whatever enemy is in front of her instead of choosing a target, players have a bit of control over who she attacks). However, her low hit count and the presence of other DPS units relegate her to a support role.
MementoMori - Lea IconLea • Deals great singlet-target damage for a standard SR, but otherwise lacks luster because PvE also needs players to be able to take out as many enemies as fast as possible, and Lea cannot be relied upon as a DPS carry for that kind of playstyle. She can still be a secondary DPS, however, if she's built enough.
MementoMori - Matilda IconMatilda • Works as a dominating single-target damage and team support. Her active skill delivers single-target damage while simultaneously buffing both her and her strongest teammate's attack, boosting the team's overall damage output.
• She is a good DPS support who is great to pair with Cordie or Florence.
• Her shield becomes powerful, reaching up to 40% of damage deflection at max level, depending on how many allies she has in the field.
MementoMori - Winter Lunalynn IconWinter Lunalynn • Deals decent damage with her first and second active skills, but she takes until the 7th turn to maximize her damage to enemies (up to 1920% for the first active skill).
• Depending on your team setup, she may not survive long enough to be dishing out that much damage.
MementoMori - Fenny IconFenny • Though she can deal widespread AoE damage with her first active skill and target dangerous enemies with her second active skill, Fenny ultimately comes up short when it comes to damage compared to other Azure witches.
MementoMori - Summer Moddey IconSummer Moddey • Similar to Moddey, Summer Moddey's skills work better the longer the battle goes (since she would've been able to poison most enemies, which then activates the rest of her skills like increased ATK, more attacks made per poisoned enemy, and decreased damage taken). She could be useful for Guild Raids and PvP, though in PvE, it's a lot fuzzier.
MementoMori - Eir IconEir • Similar to Primavera in that they both attack units directly in front of them, though Eir has a stronger emphasis on inflicting and capitalizing on Sleep and other movement-hindering debuffs.
• However, this dependence on action-hindering debuffs makes her vulnerable to teams with Cordie, as well as teams with Fortina - both of whom have countermeasures versus action-hindering debuffs.
MementoMori - Ivy IconIvy • Ivy can deal a lot of damage to her enemies if she's in a party that will grant her a lot of buffs. Her active skill, 'Playing With Dolls♪,' increases the number of attacks she makes the more buffs she has.
• She also buffs her own ATK if an ally is defeated, increasing the damage she deals.

Character Tier Placement Reasoning
MementoMori - Summer Cordie IconSummer Cordie • Aside from dealing relatively low damage with the only skill she has that can actually deal damage, Summer Cordie also still needs high ATK for her buffs to work correctly, making her use sub-optimal (as there are other units that can raise an ally's ATK without such a requirement).
MementoMori - Richesse IconRichesse • More of a debuffer/tank support for slow teams instead of an actual DPS carry.
MementoMori - Priscilla IconPriscilla • Though she's great at cleansing debuffs from allies while also healing them, Prscilla does not offer much in terms of damage to enemies.
MementoMori - Chiffon IconChiffon • Not an offensive unit in the first place. Her second active skill (which deals damage) is worth more as a debuff rather than an attack.
MementoMori - Veela IconVeela • One of the fastest units in the game, Veela deals middling damage with her skills and is worth using more as a SPD and ATK debuffer if she's on a player's team at all (which can be rare considering her status as a limited SR unit that's hard to come by.
MementoMori - Carol IconCarol • Deals decent damage to enemies with both her active skills, though she's more useful for the Silence she can inflict on up to 3 of them in the first turn and her ability to dispel 2 buffs from all enemies.
MementoMori - Fortina IconFortina • Support shielder and healer, but not a DPS.
MementoMori - Olivia IconOlivia • Weak offensive power and overall not a great unit if she's been geared properly compared to all the new units that do the same functions as she does.
MementoMori - Hathor IconHathor • Could've been a decent DPS, but her first passive's condition (from the 3rd turn, Hathor must not take damage every two turns) for her ATK buff is almost impossible to trigger.
MementoMori - Tropon IconTropon • Tropon is a witch that can deal good damage, though it's hampered by how she needs to use her first skill over and over again to buff up her ATK (in battle, she would be defeated long before she can even use her skill a second time.
• It may be good to pair her with witches that can decrease her skill cooldown, although you may be better off getting another attacker that can deal just as much (or even more damage with less setup involved.
MementoMori - Merlyn IconMerlyn • Not a DPS unit by any stretch of the imagination. Do not count on her to carry your team when it comes to damage dealing.
MementoMori - Freesia IconFreesia • Not an offensive unit; Freesia is known more for raising the EVD of dodge tanks like Nina.
MementoMori - Fenrir IconFenrir • Single targeting and low hit count for her first skill, and low damage despite her AoE targeting with her second active skill make her not viable even as a secondary DPS
MementoMori - Gil’uial IconGil’uial • Her first active skill does not deal damage, but her second skill only deals mildly damaging AoE damage.
MementoMori - Yuni IconYuni • Yuni's combination of potent and diverse healing, defensive capabilities, and team-empowering support makes her a good character to have for the main quest. But she does not have much at all when it comes to damage.
MementoMori - Apostle Rosalie IconApostle Rosalie • A support unit whose main deal is to shield the two allies adjacent to her while stacking [Memory] buffs that increase every time her party is afflicted by a debuff from an active skill.
• Once Apostle Rosalie's [Memory] stack reaches 15, she deals 8 attacks to enemies at random and decreases the skill cooldown of the two allies next to her by 1 turn.
MementoMori - Alexandra IconAlexandra • Though her active skills let her deal both decent damage as well as damage over time with her Bleed debuff, she still needs high-level gear to be of any use. This means players who don't spend much in the game won't be able to tap into her full potential, and those who can spend more will find that it would be more worth it to give good gear to other attackers instead.
MementoMori - Summer Nina IconSummer Nina • Defensive support witch that also cleanses debuffs from her allies, but not much else beyond this when it comes to damage.
MementoMori - Serruria IconSerruria • Has a niche that's too narrow for PvE (high accuracy attacker that only gets buffed when one of her buffs is dispelled) to be useful.
MementoMori - D.D. IconD.D. • More of a support debuffer that can inflict Faint as well as CRIT RES and ATK debuffs rather than a DPS
MementoMori - Aine IconAine • A debuffer with not-so-powerful active skills in a soul class (Radiance) with better heavy-hitters. She needs to wait until her Demon's Temptation status is gone so she can deal more damage with her second active skill, and she may already have been defeated by then.
MementoMori - Tama IconTama • A good support unit that can give your main attacker a shield as well as a bevy of buffs. But the damage her active skills deal leaves much to be desired.
MementoMori - Lunalynn IconLunalynn • Though she can be a lifesaver in PvE with her ability to silence enemy teams en masse, Lunalynn cannot be counted on to do the heavy lifting when it comes to dealing damage because of her weak magic damage (even with her Poison debuffs).
MementoMori - Winter Amour IconWinter Amour • Winter Amout could have some utility by buffing her team's main carry, but her low damage output hampers her as a DPS. Unlike regular Amour, she can't even deal damage to enemies if she's defeated and then revived.
MementoMori - Eureka IconEureka • Suffers from low skill damage like other Azure witches and is mainly used for her ability to remove debuffs from allies, though it depends on whether or not she's been hit with a debuff from an active skill.
MementoMori - Winter Soltina IconWinter Soltina • Great support for Crimson and Emerald witches, but she's not counted on for her damage.
MementoMori - Tillie IconTillie • Has a niche where she prioritizes targeting enemy witches with multi-barriers in her second active skill, though the damage she deals is low enough that she will need someone else (like Fia) to finish them off.
MementoMori - Mertillier IconMertillier Mertillier deals low damage, even though she's a decent buffer for at least the early parts of the Main Quest, as well as other PvE modes.\
MementoMori - Aine IconAine More useful as a CRIT and DEF debuffer instead of a main damage dealer.
MementoMori - Liebe IconLiebe • Better suited to support and enhance the performance of stronger attackers using her ATK buff from her passive.
MementoMori - Treasured Fenrir IconTreasured Fenrir • Need to significantly raise her rarity to be an effective attacker, as well as being paired up with a stronger DPS/attacker.
• Reliable in long battles, which in turn makes her less suitable for quick battles or quick farming as she's expected to survive until 7+ turns for her abilities to truly be effective

Tier List Criteria and Notes

Tier List Ranking Criteria

MementoMori often challenges players with a variety of scenarios to solve, especially in its PvE modes, which tend to be more forgiving than PvP.

This tier list ranks characters based on their overall damage output and utility in the Main Quest. We also factored in specific criteria depending on the character's role.

For DPS characters, we asked:

  • Do they deal strong burst damage?
  • If not, can they sustain themselves until their damage ramps up?
  • How long is their wind-up time before becoming effective?
  • Do their attacks have high or low hit count? (A main DPS could rank higher than a secondary DPS because of this)

Additionally, we assessed how flexible each character is, whether they fit into many team compositions or require a specific setup to perform well.

A character ranked S is strong and versatile across most PvE content, while a C-tier unit may be usable but is generally not recommended unless there is a very niche situation only they can deal with.

All rankings assume characters have been upgraded to LR rarity. We excluded all N-rarity and most R-rarity characters due to their limited utility.

S Tier Deals the most damage/has the most utility and across most PvE content, especially the Main Quest. These characters are so foundational and useful that entire teams can be built around them, and are worth the most investment.
A Tier Not as essential as S-tier characters, but are still the second or third most important units in any PvE team comp.
B Tier Units with average damage and performance and/or abilities that are more useful in PvP rather than PvE. These characters have specific niches to fill in PvE units and should be slotted into your teams whenever they are needed.
C Tier Units that could still have niche uses in your team, but are already outperformed by units in the higher tiers. Only recommended to use it if you do not have any of their higher-tier equivalents.
A+ Tier
B+ Tier
C+ Tier
When a character is ranked with a "+", it means that they have a special niche and/or synergy with another unit that makes them a cut above other witches in normal ranks without the "+" sign.

This is to account for witches that perform well whenever they are placed in a certain team comp but do middling or bad performance otherwise.

Tier List Role Criteria

Role Function
Main DPS ・The main carry of the party and is expected to deal the most damage.
・Most teams are created around supporting this character in some way.
Secondary DPS ・A member of the team that can deal heavy damage to enemies, but not as much as Main DPSs due to either lower hit count or investment.
・Secondary DPSs can sometimes overlap with Support units as they sometimes have their own buffs or debuffs while also inflicting damage on the enemy (e.g., Sivi).
Support ・A character that is supposed to support the main DPS/secondary DPSs by giving them buffs, inflicting debuffs on the enemy, protecting the DPSes from damage, etc.

On Making Changes to the Tier List

Scenario Notes
A new character comes out Whenever a new character comes out in MementoMori, expect a preliminary ranking for them based on their skill sets. This is subject to change, however, as we will need time to test them out. Therefore, we urge our readers to treat the rankings for a character after the first week of their release as temporary.
A character's banner is ending soon Around a week to at least 3 days before a character's banner ends, we will finalize our thoughts about a character and give them their final rankings. Note that this may still be subject to change depending on future characters that may affect a previous character's place in the meta, which means their rankings will have to be updated as well.
The "Meta" shifts Updates to the game's combat system or the release of a particularly powerful DPS or Support unit can prompt a review of our entire tier list, and several or more characters being put up or down depending on the update.
Characters are fixed/updated Characters whose skills or stats have been updated will prompt a re-evaluation of their ranking on the tier list. This was the case with Valeriede and A.A.'s base form, which were both updated in 2025.
