Best Starter Deviation in Deviation: SCP
| Best Starter Deviations (Best to Worst) | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Dr. Teddy |
| 2 | Lethal Rabbit |
| 3 | Pup Buddy |
Dr. Teddy
| Dr. Teddy | |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Role | Support |
| Techniques | Savage Strike, Rapid Charge, Healing Aura |
| Psi-Skill | Panacea: Restore nearby Deviation allies’ HP every 0.5s for 161% of your Attack Power. Heals 3 times. Consumes 400 Psi Energy |
| Innate | Healer's Heart: When healing other targets, restore 20% of the healing amount to self. |
| Pros | Cons |
|
✔️ Can heal your other Deviations. ✔️ Can be used as an off-tank. ✔️ Has a powerful AoE heal. ✔️ Self-heals when healing others. |
❌ Not a lot of offensive capabilities. ❌ Relies heavily on allies to be effective. |
Dr. Teddy is the best starter in the Deviation: SCP scenario thanks to his Panacea AoE heal that keeps your whole Deviation team sustained, and his self-healing on ally heals makes him durable enough to double as an off-tank.
Although Dr. Teddy lacks strong offensive capabilities, this drawback is easily offset by capturing other Deviations that specialize in damage.
Lethal Rabbit
| Lethal Rabbit | |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Role | DPS |
| Techniques | Blink Strike, Savage Strike |
| Psi-Skill | Curtain Call Etiquette: Lethal Rabbit draws a dagger and teleports behind the target, slitting their throat for 1,041% P.ATK DMG and silencing the target for 9s. Consumes 300 Psi Energy. |
| Innate | Fatal Strike: After hitting a new target, all attacks will critically hit for the next 10s |
| Pros | Cons |
|
✔️ Massive single-target burst ✔️ Reliable follow-up crits. ✔️ Can silence enemies with Psi-Skill |
❌ Dies fast if caught out or focused compared to other starters ❌ Performance falls off if you can't open or reset targets to trigger Fatal Strike. |
Lethal Rabbit is a strong starter in the Deviation: SCP scenario thanks to its Curtain Call Etiquette skill, which delivers massive single-target burst while silencing enemies, and its innate that guarantees critical hits for 10s after engaging a new target.
While Lethal Rabbit delivers strong early-game DPS, better damage dealers appear later on, whereas versatile healers like Dr. Teddy remain far more valuable long-term. Even so, its early-game damage and utility make it a reliable pick until you capture stronger DPS Deviations.
Pup Buddy
| Pup Buddy | |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Role | Tank |
| Techniques | Savage Strike, Rite of Strength, Whirlwind Slash |
| Psi-Skill | Featherweight Parade: Generates a floating balloon above nearby Deviations, putting them in a floating state for 20s. Floating Deviations cannot attack or move. Destroying the baloon prematurely ends the floating state. Consumes 300 Psi Energy. |
| Innate | Inflate: Recovers 0.4% HP every 0.5s while out of combat. |
| Pros | Cons |
|
✔️ Can disable an enemy for 20s with its Balloon CC. ✔️ Can be used as an off-tank. ✔️ Provides useful early-game survivability with its crowd control |
❌ Outclassed by tougher tanks easily. ❌ Limited damage output. |
Pup Buddy works as a beginner-friendly tank with reliable crowd control, Featherweight Parade, making early encounters easier to manage. However, its low damage and weaker durability compared to later options limit its long-term usefulness.
