• Best-in-slot units that define team comps around them.

• Elite picks, only slightly behind SSS in overall impact.

• Strong, reliable performers that hold up in most content.

• Great role players, just shy of top-tier consistency.

• Solid units that fit well into a build roster.

•  Decent performers, situational but usable.

• Fine for filling gaps, not a priority investment.

•  Niche or outdated, only worth building for specific comps.

• Safe to skip; largely power-crept out of the current meta.

• Crown anchors this tier because her Burst II amplification is the strongest damage buff in the game, and it scales the longer a fight runs, which suits Solo Raid and Union Raid perfectly.

• Rapi: Red Hood has held a top spot for nearly as long as NIKKE has had a competitive meta, and nothing has matched her burst-rotation ceiling since.

• Rapi: Red Hood has held a top spot for nearly as long as NIKKE has had a competitive meta, and nothing has matched her burst-rotation ceiling since.

• Ada Wong shares that same sustained-damage philosophy and performs well against both single targets and grouped enemies.

• Liberalio also leans on sustained damage over spike damage, pairing naturally with Anis: Star or Ada Wong.

• Nayuta blends strong single-target output with genuine team-wide utility, avoiding the narrow role some pure-damage units get stuck in.

• Privaty (Treasure) earns her spot through survivability rather than raw damage, keeping a team alive long enough to reach Full Burst in harder fights.

• Snow White: Heavy Arms provides a similar defensive anchor that most current endgame content still calls for.

• Moran (Treasure) closes out the tier with strong utility that fits naturally into most SSS-led comps.

• Scarlet: Black Shadow pushes clear speed noticeably higher thanks to strong burst-window damage, landing just below SSS.

• Cinderella enables faster burst cycling for the whole team, shaving meaningful time off clears.

• Vesti: Tactical Upgrade rounds out most team compositions well thanks to solid all-around stats with few weaknesses.

• Mast: Romantic Maid and Anchor: Innocent Maid both provide support and healing that keeps a squad stable through longer boss fights.

• Takina offers consistent single-target damage that holds up well against most current bosses.

• Laplace: Ultimate Hero works best as a secondary attacker once a player's core team is already established.

• Liter deserves special mention as the most flexible support in the game — cheap to invest and useful in nearly any team shape.

• Alice delivers solid burst damage once fully skilled, holding up well against most content.

• Modernia and Rosanna: Chic Ocean both shine in longer, sustained fights, since their kits need time to ramp up.

Ein, Helm (Treasure) & Milk: Blooming Bunny

• Ein, Helm (Treasure), and Milk: Blooming Bunny all provide steady support or damage without any glaring weaknesses.

Neon: Vision Eye & Velvet

• Neon: Vision Eye and Velvet round out the tier — both usable, but consistently outclassed by the SS-tier picks above them.

• Emma: Tactical Upgrade brings solid team-wide utility, though her buffs are more situational than the supports ranked above her.

• Eunhwa: Tactical Upgrade performs well in specific team shapes, but lacks the flexibility of the SS-tier supports.

• Tia provides dependable healing and utility, holding a squad together without doing anything that pushes her higher.

• Dorothy: Serendipity offers a useful mix of damage and support, but performs best paired with specific units.

• Grave contributes solid sustained damage, though newer attackers with similar kits have started outpacing her.

• Mari works well as a secondary damage source, but her ceiling sits below the attackers in S tier and above.

• Naga offers reliable utility in the right comp, but drops off noticeably outside of it.

• Rouge rounds out A+ tier with consistent, if unremarkable, damage that holds up in Campaign and early Boss content.

• Privaty provides decent survivability tools, though her base version is outclassed by the Treasure variant in SSS tier.

• Phantom offers situational utility useful in specific boss patterns, but isn't a general-purpose pick.

• Snow White performs a similar defensive role to her Heavy Arms variant, just with a lower ceiling.

• Jill brings serviceable damage that clears most Campaign content without any standout trait.

• Maxwell works as a reasonable early support option, though she's easily replaced later.

• Arcana contributes steady, if unremarkable, team support that holds up fine in easier content.

• Isabel offers dependable utility in a pinch, but nothing stands out compared to A+ and above.

• Tove rounds out A tier with damage that's genuinely strong in her niche shotgun comp, less so outside it.

• Elegg provides basic utility that's useful early on but gets outclassed quickly.

• Guillotine offers serviceable damage, though her kit lacks the scaling higher-tier attackers bring to longer fights.

• Dorothy (base) performs a support role similar to her Serendipity variant, with reduced overall impact.

• Dolla contributes situational utility that rarely comes up outside specific niche content.

• Helm: Aquamarine brings decent survivability tools, though her base kit is surpassed by the Treasure version ranked higher.

• Crust works fine as an early-game damage option but falls off once stronger attackers unlock.

• Mica: Snow Buddy offers usable support early on, though not worth prioritizing once better picks unlock.

• 2B rounds out B+ tier with solid, if dated, damage that still clears earlier content reliably.

• Rem provides basic team support, serviceable for newer accounts still building a roster.

• Blanc offers usable damage in early Campaign stages but doesn't hold up against tougher bosses.

• Emilia contributes situational healing that works fine for lower-difficulty clears.

• Soline performs adequately as a filler damage unit while working toward better alternatives.

• Marciana brings basic utility outclassed by nearly every unit ranked above her.

• Delta: Ninja Thief offers niche damage that rarely finds a place in a modern team composition.

• Miranda works as an early support pick, easily replaced once stronger healers unlock.

• Poli rounds out B tier with unremarkable but usable stats, viable purely as a stopgap.

• Harran was designed around a mechanic that rarely comes up in current content, limiting her to a narrow niche.

• Trony offers damage that was competitive at release but hasn't kept pace with newer kits.

• Rupee contributes situational utility that only matters in a handful of specific fights.

• Admi provides basic support surpassed by nearly every unit ranked above her.

• Quency works in a very specific team shape but has little value outside it.

• Claire offers dated damage that no longer holds up well against current boss patterns.

• K contributes niche utility that rarely factors into a general-purpose team.

Sakura

• Sakura rounds out C+ tier with a kit that still functions, but only in setups most players won't run.

• Base Drake has been almost entirely replaced by newer releases filling the same role with better numbers.

• Base Scarlet suffers the same problem — her Black Shadow variant does everything she does, only better.

• Base Eunhwa has similarly been outclassed by her Tactical Upgrade variant, leaving little reason to build her.

• Most of the early Soldier, iDoll, and Product line units fall into this same category — usable briefly in the very early game, but rarely worth investing skill books or gear into once stronger options unlock.

Anchor: Innocent Maid

Takina

Alice

Milk: Blooming Bunny

Modernia

• Crown's amplification carries over into PvP as well, just compressed into a much shorter timeline than a boss fight.

• Scarlet: Black Shadow is widely considered the PvP queen — her damage during a Full Burst window is simply unmatched in arena.

• Liter earns her place here for the same reason she dominates PvE — her burst generation speed lets a team reach Full Burst first.

• Anis: Star's fast burst uptime translates cleanly into short, high-pressure arena matches.

• Rapi: Red Hood brings strong first-strike damage the moment Full Burst triggers.

• Vesti: Tactical Upgrade offers similar first-strike value along with the well-rounded stats that make her strong in PvE too.

• Cinderella helps cycle burst faster for the whole team, often deciding the race to Full Burst.

• Takina offers consistent damage once her burst is active, without needing a specific setup.

• Anchor: Innocent Maid helps a team survive long enough to actually reach Full Burst in the first place.

• Mast: Romantic Maid provides reliable support in the shorter exchanges typical of arena play.

• Alice performs fine in arena thanks to her solid burst damage, but is outpaced by faster-burst picks above her.

• Milk: Blooming Bunny is usable in PvP without being a standout — her burst generation isn't fast enough to compete with SS and S-tier.

• Modernia brings decent damage to arena, but her ramp-up kit works against her in matches that end quickly.

• Skill her to at least 7/7/7. Below that, she underperforms.

• Your primary DPS carry for everything.

• Fits every team. Max her early.

• Completes your burst rotation.

• Fill based on whether you need more Boss or PvP coverage.
