Important notes

• The value and usefulness of a character varies based on your rank, your team, fight length, fight mechanics and how you play.
• Each element is evaluated on its own. A 9.5 rating in Fire is not the same as 9.5 in Water.
• The rating reflects the median usefulness of a character. A character may lose points for being hard to use or fit in a team, or gain points for being strong against Magnas. Judging a character by HL usefulness alone may be unhelpful as HL teams tend to deviate from other content.
• At the end of the day this is just a tool to help you find useful characters.

Icon	Name	Type	Rating	Remarks
	Agielba		8.0	-
	Albert		9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer 100% Double Attack rate. Very strong in the early game thanks to his 10x skill damage self-buff. His DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 can be very useful in challenging content.
	Aletheia		8.5	-
	Aliza		8.5	-
	Altair		9.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer Greatly increases Water team damage output with his buffs, debuffs, and charge bar generation. His debuff is very inaccurate until Lvl 90. His Lvl 95 support skill helps other members of the team in landing their debuffs. Fits in almost any Water team composition.
	Amira		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support Provides very strong multi-attack and charge bar rate buffs. Once transformed she's a battery for the party while still doing great damage. Strong even without good party synergy.
	Andira		9.5	-
	Anila		9.0	-
	Anre		8.0	Role: Defender His 100% DMG CutTaking 100% less DMG Damage Cut reducing damage taken. Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage! skill was buffed and now has a reasonable cooldown. High damage nuke with a high damage cap of 1.16 million. However, it requires the enemy to be in Overdrive. While his 100% DMG CutTaking 100% less DMG Damage Cut reducing damage taken. Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage! is unique and powerful, his role is taken up by Holy Sabers and Spartans in raids. Rating is for the 4★ version.
	Anthuria		8.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer Gives 45% charge attack bar to entire party without the need of dodging attacks. Synergizes well with other Hype sources. Her buffs are random, hard to use in raid battles due to CharmedAttacks are slightly limited / ParalysisCan't attack . Limited usefulness outside of Hype oriented parties.
	Aoidos		8.5	Role: Attacker/Support Reliant on party members to take hits for him due to high Hostility BoostedMore likely to be attacked if he is supposed to deal max damage. This makes him very strong in shorter battles even if he tanks a lot. Hype increases the rest of party's damage output quite well yet only for one turn.
	Arriet		9.0	-
	Arulumaya		8.5	-
	Arulumaya		9.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer Strongest Water DEF LoweredDEF is lowered for water DMG given by a party member at 25%.

Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted given by Red Sparkle stacks with Katalina (Grand)'s Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted . However, it overwrites Altair's Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted .
	Ayer		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support Synergizes well with enmity. Hostility BoostedMore likely to be attacked can be used to draw attacks away from Hallesena. It can be difficult to keep him alive at low health, but he can unleash staggering damage.
	Baotorda		8.5	-
	Beatrix		8.5	Role: Attacker Very good attacker if managed well. Once she gets going, she'll keep on going! Difficult to master, likely a train wreck in inexperienced hands. Doesn't work well with Enmity grids. She doesn't provide any support, only damage.
	Beatrix		9.5	-
	Black Knight		9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Great utility; PetrifiedStops enemy's charge diamonds from filling. , DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 and Dispel all in one. Mediocre damage, but her self heal and support skill keeps her going to the end. Her utility is perfect for Luminiera Omega.
	Cagliostro		9.0	-
	Cagliostro		9.0	-
	Cagliostro		8.0	Role: Support/Debuffer Group heal and clarity, valuable in dark which has few healers. Can apply 10% DEF DownDEF is lowered on all foes and provide several offensive buffs. The 12 turn cooldown on her clarity is unusually long.
	Carmelina		8.5	-
	Catherine		8.5	-
	Cerberus		8.5	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Has several useful debuffs. High innate Triple Attack rate. Low attack power and no other noteworthy strengths.
	Charlotta		9.0	Role: Defender/Attacker/Debuffer Solid defensive character; party DMG CutTaking less DMG Damage Cut reducing damage taken. Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage! is potent with a fairly short cooldown. Her Blue Moon250%-300% Water damage to one enemy and inflict 20% DEF DownDEF is lowered Strength: 20% Probability: 80% . Level 55: Damage increased to 300%-350%. Level 90: Damage increased to 350%-450%. Debuff success rate increased to 100%. was recently buffed, giving her greater accuracy once she reaches level 90. Her extra damage on Charge Attack is now more potent with her recent buff. A good early-game character for Water teams.
	Charlotta		7.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Can generate Green Potions, useful in longer battles. Provides a good 20% ATK DownATK is lowered . Hard to fit in a party as her usefulness is limited.
	Chat Noir		8.0	Role: Support/Debuffer Has a good array of utility such as DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 and dispel. Unreliable debuffer; can randomly inflict BlindedAttacks have a slight chance to miss , CharmedAttacks are slightly limited , or ParalysisCan't attack after a long set-up time. Dependent on his unique self-buffs for dealing damage. Overall, a decent debuffer if his debuffs land, but overshadowed by other characters with reliable kits and better damage.
	Christina		8.0	Role: Bounty/Healer "Free" SSR purchased using 77,777,777 casino chips. Has a nuke that applies Debuff Resistance LoweredDebuff resistance is lowered and another nuke that applies BountyItem drop rate is boosted twice. Additionally, has an EMP skill that can apply BountyItem drop rate is boosted on attacks. Very few characters can apply BountyItem drop rate is boosted and the only other SSR that can is Tien. Has a heal and debuff removal in one skill. Mediocre stats and a lack of flexibility or focus combined with the immense effort to obtain her make her an unpopular character.
	Clarisse		9.0	Role: Support/Debuffer Extremely useful support kit for soloing which includes DEF DownDEF is lowered , Fire DEF LoweredDEF is lowered for fire DMG Strength: 15% and dispel. Not as useful in raid battles; provides little else if her debuffs are already covered by other parties. Support skill helps your party's debuffs land which can be crucial in stabilizing boss fights. Her Mode bar cut is great where it works, but it becomes ineffective against higher-level bosses.
	Clarisse		7.5	-
	Clarisse		9.0	-
	Danua		8.0	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Has her own Rain of Arrows III providing 25% ATK DownATK is lowered (single) on all enemies. ATK Down is on a short cool down in case of resists. Hard to keep alive if you use her nuke.
	De La Fille		8.0	Role: Support Her Charge Attack deals higher damage than average. Poor skill kit; lacks focus. Her utility is outdone by other Light units. One of the worst SSR characters in the game.
	De La Fille		9.0	Role: Healer/Support Has an amazing amount of healing. ShieldNext ATK received will be ineffective for a fixed amount & RepelTaking less DMG and reflects attacks makes her an effective defensive support character. Provides decent buffs, which is rare among Earth characters. Her support skill randomly finds casino chips after battles.
	De La Fille		8.0	-
	Drang		9.5	Role: Debuffer/Attacker Brings potent but simple debuffs. Fool You ThriceRemove 1 buff effect from one enemy. Inflict 25% ATK DownATK is lowered Strength: 25% Probability: 80% Duration: 180 seconds Single-sided and 25% DEF DownDEF is lowered Strength: 25% Probability: 80% Duration: 180 seconds Single-sided . debuff is single sided, meaning it stacks with Miserable Mist and other similar abilities. Extremely short cooldown for a dispel. Has Superstar's Soul Soloist as a skill. Very useful to land other debuffs. Has a heal as an added bonus. Is able to increase his damage and/or go on the defensive over time.
	Eahta		9.0	Role: Attacker/Support Gains charge bar at twice the normal rate and can share it with the party. With a 200% charge bar he can charge attack twice in a row! Very easy to use. Contributes a lot through damage and repeated charge attacks. Easy to pair with other Earth attackers. Likely your first guild war character if Earth is your main element.
	Eugen		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support Three turns of full charge bar lets him put out insane damage in a short period of time. His Intercept gains a Hostility BoostedMore likely to be attacked effect, letting him protect the party against normal attacks. Generates large amounts of charge bar for the team between his Charge Attack spam and UpliftedCharge bar is boosted on every turn . Mostly held back by very long cooldowns and the potential for Hostility BoostedMore likely to be attacked to backfire against bosses with high multiattack rate.
	Eustace		8.5	-
	Eustace		9.0	-
	Feena		8.5	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Can inflict DEF DownDEF is lowered which is hard to find among SSR Wind characters. Her DEF DownDEF is lowered only lasts 60 seconds. High damage output potential with her passive skill, Charge Attack, and multiattack rate. Good early-game and mid-game Wind attacker, but outclassed by other more powerful Wind characters later on.
	Feower		8.5	Role: Buffer/Debuffer/Attacker The only water SSR whose weapon preference is daggers. Has the unique ability to extend all allies' buffs by 1 turn (Excludes 1-turn buffs). A strong, but unreliable debuff skill, due to being random. In High Level raids, landing the wrong debuff may be detrimental to the success of the raid. Damage on his skills easily hits the damage cap due to multiple low damage hits. Utility is hampered due to average debuff success rate. Rating is for the 4★ version.
	Ferry		10	Role: Support 4 turn 100% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted with Light Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks . 60% Charge Attack Boost with 15% Damage Cap Up. Increased Critical Hit rate for all allies. Her outstanding support skills will make her the go to choice for your Light parties.
	Fif		8.0	Role: Healer/Support Despite having excellent support, her usefulness is limited. Will retire permanently if you have Sophia. Clearing all debuffs from allies is useful. Better for longer battles.
	Forte		9.0	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Both high initial and long term attack power. Provides 5 turns of 20% ATK UpAttack is boosted for all allies. While she's a very strong attacker other Dark characters are stronger.
	Gawain		9.0	Role: Defender Wind's premiere defender. Great at mitigating damage with Attack DOWN and Damage Cut. Team-wide Enmity nuke synergizes well with a Tiamat Bolt Omega grid. His 5* upgrades puts him on relatively equal utility with Holy Saber.
	Ghandagoza		8.5	-
	Hallessena		9.0	Role: Attacker Has very high damage potential if allowed to reach maximum stacks of Downright Crazy! However, she needs to be babysat to reach her maximum of 9 stacks of Downright Crazy! reliably Thus she works very well with anyone who has Hostility BoostedMore likely to be attacked or SubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally (Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks)
	Heles		8.5	-
	Heles		9.5	-
	Io		9.0	-
	Io		8.0	-
	Izmir		8.5	Role: Attacker MASSIVE Charge Attack damage with each Icy BladeBoost to charge attack DMG and charge attack DMG cap based on number of Icy Blades stack she gains. Extremely high cap at around 2.5~(3.5~ vs Fire) million at full stacks. Squishy; requires defenders due to her low defense, but her attack power outweighs this drawback. Stacking Icy Blades requires an entirely different play-style and time consuming. Charge Attack damage is still very good at 3 stacks. Passive does not stack with Wand of Gabriel (SR)
	Jeanne d'Arc		9.5	-
	Jeanne d'Arc		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Powerful 30% DEF DownDEF is lowered (single). Double dips into Enmity in an easy-to-use manner for outstanding damage. Major candidate for an attacker slot in your party, especially in the late game.
	Juliet		9.5	-
	Katalina		8.5	-
	Katalina		9.5	Role: Attacker/Healer/Buffer/Defender Incredibly versatile; a core character in almost every Water party. Her Charge Attack buffs the party with a potent Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted that stacks with most other similar buffs. Short cooldown on her defensive ability makes her reliable against big boss attacks. Provides party-wide VeilImmune to debuffs. Lasts until it resists at least 1 debuff. .
	Korwa		10	Role: Buffer/Support Applies two of the best buffs in the game that, with some micromanagement, can have nearly 100% uptime. An asset on nearly any team configuration in nearly any element due to the pure power of her buffs. Requires regular Charge Attacks to refresh her buffs and excels on teams that take advantage of her DA/TA or have charge bar boosts. Needs to be hit often to generate resource stacks, but is rather squishy. Is best in long fights where she can Charge Attack often; not as effective in early-game or short battles.
	Korwa		9.5	Preliminary rating. Please allow a few days for it to settle. -
	Lady Grey		9.0	Role: Debuffer Increases debuff resistance for all allies. Her 25% DEF DownDEF is lowered , while excellent, is about all she's got. Gets DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 at level 100 which raises her utility a bit. Will retire permanently if you have Jeanne d'Arc (Dark), unless you need Zombie.
	Lady Katapillar and Vira		9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Self heal and reset cooldown on skills so you can chain nukes on the same turn. Can inflict Fire ATK LoweredFire ATK is lowered , which stacks with normal ATK DownATK is lowered debuffs for further mitigation. Immunity to BlindedAttacks have a slight chance to miss or CharmedAttacks are slightly limited depending on her position in the team. Not as useful against non-Fire enemies.
	Lancelot		9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Top class Water attacker; high double attack rate, and Lvl 95 support skill also increases all allies double attack rate. His debuffs stacks with Dark Fencer's Miserable Mist and is fairly accurate. Consistent and reliable attacker with no other drawbacks.
	Lecia		9.5	Role: Buffer JammedATK is greatly boosted as HP is lowered and low-health shields give her great Enmity synergy. Can Dispel on Charge Attack for more utility. Weakish early game: Her signature skill is locked deep in the story and can be teamcomp dependent. Powerful effects if you can stack an order up to level 5, although Debuff and Heal can be difficult to build. Attack Orders 5 is very powerful at endgame to push beyond the damage cap. Balance unit for the commonly-used Cosmic Rifle BAL
	Lennah		8.5	Role: Healing/Support High healing with Extended Mastery Perks. Clarity on a very short 3-turn cooldown Hard to fit into the party if healing/clear isn't needed
	Lilele		9.0	Role: Buffer/Healer Lilele's buffs are unique, thus it stacks with all other buffs. Increased effectiveness for male party members means choosing male characters for optimal utility. Her Charge Attack's CharmedAttacks are slightly limited debuff has poor accuracy.
	Lily		8.5	-
	Lucio		9.5	-
	Magisa		9.0	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Great support character; provides VeilImmune to debuffs. Lasts until it resists at least 1 debuff. and Fire DEF LoweredDEF is lowered for fire DMG . High damage output thanks to Morax and her support skills. Burst damage by unsummoning Morax is handy, though, you generally want to keep Morax on all the time. Synergizes with Enmity grids due to her self-damage. Rating rises to 9.5 with Agni Enmity weapon grids.
	Mahira		9.5	-
	Marquiares		8.0	Role: Attacker/Support Rare full party heal and regen. Can do 2.5m+ damage charge attacks with self-buff. Skill restrictions make him harder to use. Does not work well in Enmity parties.
	Medusa		8.5	-
	Melissabelle		8.5	Role: Attacker Her skills require a few casts (five for Right Hairsaber and four for Left Hairsaber) to reach maximum damage output. With her Charge Attack lowering her skill cooldowns by 2 turns and a passive that has a chance to lower them another turn, it is possible for her skills to reach the hit cap much earlier than normal. Her first skill fills her charge bar but is on a very long cooldown and costs 20% of her maximum HP. Without a way to keep her from taking damage, it may do more harm than good to use it. Relatively low damage output that gets outshined by other Wind attackers.
	Melleau		8.5	Role: Attacker Has self- VeilImmune to debuffs. Lasts until it resists at least 1 debuff. to ward off status effects. Her nuke and two turns of 100% TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted generate lots of charge bar. Only has 30% ATK UpAttack is boosted for a reliable damage buff. Generally overshadowed by Earth's other attacker options.
	Metera		8.5	-
	Metera		9.0	Role: Attacker/Debuffer Big damage output thanks to Bonus Fire DMGDeals bonus fire DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks from her passive. Highly accurate DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 . Timing skills might be difficult. Rating rises to 9.5 with Agni and Crimson Finger ×3 grids.
	Narmaya		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer A bit complicated to use, but rewards you with high damage. Her low health and self-inflicted DEF Down (Stackable)DEF is lowered (Stackable) makes her vulnerable. Her usability varies a lot between early, mid and late game. Benefits greatly from Dark multiattack weapons. The strongest Dark attacker when using a Hades grid.
	Narmaya		8.5	Role: Attacker Powerful Break assassin with strong self-buffs, but low defense. Excellent damage even outside of Break mode. Slow build up; requires enough turns to improve her skill effectiveness and power. Difficult for beginners if they don't have other characters to protect/support Narmaya. Rating rises to 9.5 if she is used with a fully-built Varuna weapon grid.
	Nemone		8.5	Role: Attacker Massive single-turn burst damage if given time to set up; roughly 3 million damage by herself. Great early and mid game Earth attacker for new players that pick Earth as their first element. Low defense and long set up time leaves her lagging behind when MVP racing. Synergizes with Eugen (Grand) quite well.
	Nezahualpilli		9.0	Role: Attacker Massive burst potential during Break mode with his self buffs. Self-inflicts DEF DownDEF is lowered which is a huge liability until level 100. At level 100, becomes a stable DPS machine instead of a glass cannon. Only team utility (+5% Triple Attack rate) is gained at level 95.
	Niyon		8.5	-
	Orchid		9.5	-
	Percival		9.5	Role: Attacker/Debuffer One of the only characters that can inflict the PetrifiedStops enemy's charge diamonds from filling. debuff which makes bosses easier. Easy to play; high damage output is obtainable even for beginners. Narrow utility, but his damage output is reason enough to use him regardless.
	Percival		8.5	-
	Petra		8.5	Role: Support Excellent support due to her skill that applies Wind ATK UpWind ATK is boosted , Fire ATK UpFire ATK is boosted , Earth ATK UpEarth ATK is boosted , and Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted . Can cast a Mirror ImageNext one-to-one attack received will be ineffective (Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack) on any ally; fantastic for enmity grids, or for characters like Seofon. Has a small passive refresh for all allies. Usable even on teams of other main wheel elements due to her buffs covering those elements.
	Rackam		9.0	-
	Razia		9.0	Role: Attacker/Defender Protects allies with SubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally (Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks) and innate increased Hostility. Works very well with Ayer for Tezcatlipoca teamcomps. Has a very strong nuke, capping out at 2.7m damage. Requires actually being hit for her skillset to work. Good firepower when you need some defense on the team.
	Romeo		9.0	Role: Attacker/Defender Massive 1-turn burst damage potential and overall attack power. Potent Water DEF LoweredDEF is lowered for water DMG . Playstyle requires micromanaging SpiritUses 1 Spirit per attack (Spirits recover every 5 turns) stacks. Poor stack management heavily penalizes Romeo's stats. His 80% Fire CutFire DMG is cut Fire Damage Cut. party buff is very strong, but requires consuming SpiritUses 1 Spirit per attack (Spirits recover every 5 turns) stacks. Difficult to play as a defensive character and is better suited as an offensive damage dealer.
	Rosamia		9.0	-
	Rosetta		8.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Group heal and clarity, valuable in Dark which has few healers. Can provide dispel for Luminiera Omega. Usually not needed since most fights don't require much healing. Heal lands before clarity which is bad for Celeste Omega.
	Rosetta		9.5	-
	Sara		9.5	Role: Tank/Defender Granblue Fantasy's pinnacle tank character; all other defensive characters are compared to Sara. SubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally (Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks) and her 1000% DEF UpDEF is boosted buff counters enemy single-target charge attacks, even Wind attacks. Has 50% Damage Cut, which can completely shut down attacks when paired with the appropriate MLB Carbuncle. Short cooldowns on her skillset allow her abilities to be up for most (if not all) enemy charge attacks. Low damage output unless she gets very low on health.
	Sarunan		7.5	Role: Support Provides 30% Damage Cut against Dark, combining with Phalanx III to survive any Dark attack. Can inflict Break Lock, but being inferior to Hawkeye's version turns it into a last resort in HL raids. Will retire permanently once the player amasses enough Onyx Carbuncle and Athena.
	Sarunan		7.0	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Has the very rare ability to remove all enemy buffs and debuffs. Can be extremely dangerous. With the proper buffs, debuffs, and other support he can deal extraordinary damage. Can reduce his own hp to utilise Enmity. Hard to fit on a team. May be useful for Luminiera (Impossible) but is in no way essential.
	Scathacha		9.0	-
	Seofon		9.5	-
	Seox		9.5	Role: Attacker Innate 100% Double Attack rate. Up to a 5.68x multiplier in ATK UpAttack is boosted self-buffs as long as he doesn't get hit, stacks with other buffs. Stellar damage for all fights where attacks usually miss or you can protect him. The reason you got a Bahamut Dagger Coda for Dark.
	Seruel		8.5	Role: Attack/Support Only source of VeilImmune to debuffs. Lasts until it resists at least 1 debuff. in Light. High multiattack potential, including nigh-guaranteed doubles after casting veil. Underwhelming damage output due to poor nukes and no Attack buffs until buying his EMP passive.
	Siegfried		9.0	Role: Attacker Before his 5★ uncap, he hits hard but is squishy and has little utility. Becomes very bulky with the level 100 upgrade to his unique Manigance buff. Gains his team utility at 90 when his Water Resist buff applies to the entire team. Doesn't hit as hard as Earth's top attackers, but can withstand hits they may not be able to.
	Silva		9.5	Role: Attacker Pure attacker; is able to hit up to ~2.5 million Charge Attack damage in combination with her C.A. DMG BoostedCharge attack DMG is boosted and Critical Hit Rate UpDMG is slightly boosted for critical hits abilities. Character EMP can bump this to nearly 3 million. Easy character to play and manage. Excellent as a sub member after a main party member has been KO'd with her 100% charge bar ability. Overly reliant on charge attacks and no multi-attack self-buffs. 5★ upgrades makes her competitive with other top-tier Water attackers.
	Societte		9.0	Role: Debuffer/Healer Good early on with her DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 and Miserable Mist-like ability while you're getting the Dark Fencer class. Opening Dance: KaguraHeal one ally up to 2000 HP. Grants RevitalizeRecover HP each turn. Boost to charge bar if HP is full.

Strength: 500 HP or 10% charge bar Duration: 3 turns and 10% Bonus Water DMGDeals bonus water DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks Strength: 10% Duration: 3 turns . to apply to the whole party. Abilities overlap with the Dark Fencer class; she also doesn't have the debuff success rate of a Dark Fencer on her abilities. Her Extended Mastery can improve her success rate and healing.
	Societte		9.0	-
	Sophia		9.0	Role: Healer Archetypal RPG healer; she heals, removes debuffs, and revives allies. Lacks any team damage contribution outside of her normal attacks and Charge Attack. She's more useful in the back line since she can revive front line allies after they're KO'd. Very useful character for HL content.
	Sturm		9.5	-
	Threo		9.0	-
	Tien		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support Guaranteed 3 stacks of BountyItem drop rate is boosted with her skill; can apply Bounty lvl 9Item drop rate is boosted by herself. Excellent Break assassin. Great back line party member since her support skill increases item drop rate. Her 100% BountyItem drop rate is boosted success rate only affects herself. Mediocre damage outside break.
	Tweyen		9.5	-
	Vane		8.5	-
	Vania		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Great utility character; dispel, DelayReduces foe Charge Diamonds by 1 , and CharmedAttacks are slightly limited all in one. Her charge bar generation for the whole party is valuable for Dark element parties. Her Charge Attack deals 50% bonus damage on charmed enemies. Excellent in boss fights such as Luminiera Omega. Unknown race lets her benefit from any Bahamut Weapon. Her emphasis on utility means she's less useful when she can't land her debuffs.
	Vaseraga		9.0	Role: Attacker Highest natural ATK stat in the game at Lvl 100. High damage to foes in Overdrive. Self-buff and charge bar boost are useful. Mediocre when compared to other Dark attackers.
	Veight		8.5	Role: Attacker/Support Has exceptional attack power and high dodge rate while awakened. Must consider team organisation, enemy composition, and rely on luck to remain awakened. Losing awakened is quite bad.
	Vira		9.5	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Guaranteed TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted along with VeilImmune to debuffs. Lasts until it resists at least 1 debuff. . Can provide 15% ATK DownATK is lowered / DEF DownDEF is lowered (single) and heal herself. Overall usefulness improves with her final uncap. Almost a requirement for some higher difficulty encounters.
	Vira		9.0	Role: Support Dispel and Angelic Voice II-tier CharmedAttacks are slightly limited all in one button. One of the few Earth units with a party heal. Sabre affinity goes well with Omega grids. Her massive burst requires waiting three turns with lesser damage. If you need to Dispel often it may be better to bring Dispel on your Main Character instead.
	Yggdrasil		9.0	-
	Yngwie		9.0	Role: Defender/Attacker Synergizes with DA UpDouble attack rate is boosted and TA UpTriple attack rate is boosted buffs as well as other buffs, as it applies to his free attack ability. Pairs well with Izmir, who wants to stack her Icy Blades. Tough Guy mode can draw away hits from her. Hits hard in Tough Guy mode in conjunction with his Bonus Water DMGDeals bonus water DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks ability. His unique ability set and Tough Guy mode consuming increasingly more charge bar can be difficult to manage for new players.
	Yodarha		9.0	Role: Attacker Can deal 999,999 damage at Lvl 1 at the cost of being a glass cannon. The King of early game; trivializes early game grinding and story quests. Low shroud count and defense penalty with no shrouds makes him difficult to keep alive in prolonged battles. A solid character choice for new players buying a Beginner's Draw Set.
	Yuel		9.5	Role: Attacker/Buffer/Healer Due to her utility, Yuel fits into almost all Fire party compositions. Excellent damage output for a healer; increases overall party damage with buffs. Needs to be Lvl 100 to unlock her full potential.
	Yuisis		9.0	Role:Attacker/Defender Her kit seems complex, but is quite easy to learn and manage even for beginners. Very high burst damage with her Charge Attack when given time to set up. Good defensive utility versus single-target enemy attacks. Competes with Gawain for a Wind defender party spot.
	Zahlhamelina		9.0	Role: Attacker/Buffer High risk, high reward character; she's fragile, but significantly increases party damage the lower her HP is. Excellent support character with both offensive and defensive party buffs. Flare is powerful and risky in raid battles, but you can learn when it's appropriate to use.
	Zeta		9.0	Role: Attacker High damage output against enemies in Break mode. (a.k.a. Break assassin) Outside of Break mode, her damage is mediocre. Overall kit is quite lacking.

	Zooey		10	Role: Attacker/Support/Debuffer Conjunction allows maximum use of Enmity which Dark has good access to. It's so good it's useful for other elements. Decent attack along with her stellar support. Absolutely terrifying in shorter fights and even some longer fights where it's safe to stay below 4k hp. Of limited use to beginners. Strong in the mid and late game with Enmity gear, but her true potential requires insane gear.
