Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Clive (Knight)
	★★★★★	★★★	★★★★★
	・Amazing single-target DPS. ・Lack of AoE is compensated with strong chain attacks. ・Reliant on clerics to maximize his DPS.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Fran (Gryphon Knight)
	★★★★★	★★★★	★★★★
	・Great DPS addition to almost every unit setup. ・Self-sustainable through Wing Rest. ・Great AoE and DPS performance. ・Vulnerable to physical ranged DPS classes.

Cavalry class types such as Josef and Clive deals bonus damage to infantry-type enemies, which will be most of the units you will encounter in the game. Unlike Josef, Clive can be promoted to a more offensive class to deal massive damage to even high Phys. DEF enemies.

Fran, a Gryphon Knight, can inflict a lot of AoE damage and also deals bonus damage to dangerous Cavalry enemies. Hunters can easily counter her, but it can bypass that weakness by stacking a lot of Initiative and going full AoE damage while being supported by an offensive support character.

Sharon is a Cleric and is the perfect user for the Lyrical Wand, a Cleric-exclusive weapon that grants the Active Heal active skill that provides one bonus AP to an ally, which can be great for aggressive team compositions.

A Tier Characters

Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Alain (Lord)
	★★★	★★★	★★★★★
	・Solid addition in almost every unit setup. ・Well-rounded abilities and stat scaling. ・Mid-tier in terms of damage. ・Best used as a supporting piece. Often underwhelming if a unit is based around him.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Chloe (Soldier)
	★★★	★★★★	★★★★
	・Decent addition to almost any unit setup. ・Well-rounded stat scaling. ・Good team-based passives. ・DPS is only effective against Cavalry and Flying classes. ・Vulnerable to AoE and CC.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Auch (Wizard)
	★★★★★	★★	★★★
	・Great single-target DPS. ・Lack of AoE is compensated with strong DPS passives. ・Excels against most tank classes. ・Glass cannon. Make sure you build proper tanks and supports around him.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Travis (Thief)
	★★★★	★★★★	★★★
	・Shuts key enemies down with Steal. ・Decent evasive frontliner. ・Decent single-target DPS. ・Only effective as a tank if enemies target him. ・Vulnerable to AoE.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Yahna (Witch)
	★★★	★★★	★★★★
	・Grants magic damage buffs to her unit. ・Decent single-target DPS ・Mostly effective as a supportive piece only. Underperforms as a main DPS. ・Survivability is pretty low. Requires decent tanks and healers to stay up, even if positioned in the backline.

Alain and Chloe are well-rounded characters that can fit most team compositions and can take on multiple roles.

Auch, Travis, and Yahna are a bit more situational, but can be a devastating addition to a unit in the right scenario.

B Tier Characters

Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Lex (Fighter)
	★★★	★★★★	★★★
	・Decent frontline presence, with good survivability. ・Provides good defense against physical ranged attacks. ・Mediocre damage ・Liability against magic classes. ・High survivability only applies to himself. Cannot defend the unit from most attacks.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Bruno (Gladiator)
	★★★★	★★★	★★★
	・Good AoE DPS. ・Decent single-target DPS. ・Heavy reliance on support classes to maximize his performance. ・One-dimensional.
Class	Damage	Survivability	Unit Synergy
Aubin (Housecarl)
	★★★	★★★	★★★
	・Decent AoE and single-target DPS. ・Can stun enemies once he hits level 10. ・Mediocre counter tank pre-level 15. ・Defensive liability against Magic classes. ・Weak defensive stat scaling early on.

Lex, Bruno, and Aubin are all infantry classes that can just be outclassed by other classes when it comes to damage or AoE. Generally, they are not good additions to a powerful offensive team as they don't deal any bonus damage or can't protect their offense-oriented ally.
