| Chain Attack Bonuses | The no.1 thing we look out for when ranking the heroes are their capabilities when using Chain Attacks. Keeping a healthy supply of attackers for every Chain Attack round is crucial in maximizing the team's damage output. Having a hero that doesn't contribute much to each Chain Attack Round is naturally tiered lower. |
|---|---|
| Chain Attack Damage Multipliers | The next criteria are optimizing the amount of damage output we can get from each chain attack. Each round will get increased damage multipliers based on the damage output you deal but certain heroes can increase this with their chain attack effect! |
| Actual Class Capabilities | Chain Attacks aren't the only mechanic in the game. We also consider a class' performance even without chain attacks but this is prioritized lower over chain attack synergies. |
