Quick Links
S-Tier
S-Tier Agents excel in their roles, consistently delivering high performance and strong synergy with other characters.
Miyabi
Miyabi's high damage output and swift Frost attacks make her a top contender. While requiring strategic deployment, her devastating potential makes her a force to be reckoned with.
Jane Doe
Outperforming Piper, Jane Doe's critical hit potential on Assault Anomalies results in significantly higher damage. Despite the inherent slower pace of Anomaly builds compared to pure DPS, her raw power secures her an S-Rank alongside Zhu Yuan and Ellen.
Yanagi
Yanagi excels at triggering Disorder, activating its effects without needing a prior Shock application. This makes her an ideal partner for Anomaly-focused characters like Miyabi.
Zhu Yuan
Zhu Yuan is a high-damage DPS Agent whose Shotshells deliver rapid damage. She pairs well with Stun and Support Agents, particularly Qingyi and Nicole in version 1.1.
Caesar
Caesar redefines the Defensive Agent role. Her kit provides exceptional protection, powerful buffs, impactful debuffs, and crowd control, solidifying her position as a top Support Agent.
Qingyi
Qingyi is a versatile Stunner, enhancing any team with an Attack Agent. Her fluid movements and high damage multiplier when enemies are stunned make her superior to Lycaon and Koleda, except in Ellen teams where Lycaon's Ice synergy proves advantageous.
Lighter
Lighter's significant buffs make him a strong Stun Agent, especially effective with Fire and Ice characters.
Lycaon
Lycaon's Ice-based Stun abilities, coupled with his capacity to reduce enemy Ice resistance and boost ally Daze DMG, make him essential for any Ice team.
Ellen
Ellen's Ice-based attacks synergize exceptionally well with Lycaon and Soukaku, resulting in significant damage output, particularly with her EX Special Attacks and Ultimate.
Harumasa
Harumasa, a free-to-play Electric-Attack Agent, delivers powerful hits with proper setup.
Soukaku
Soukaku's Ice buffs significantly enhance the performance of other Ice units like Ellen and Lycaon.
Rina
Rina's high damage and PEN buff (ignoring enemy defense) make her a valuable Support, especially for Electric characters.
A-Tier
A-Tier Agents are strong in specific team compositions but may not consistently outperform S-Tier Agents across all situations.
Nicole
Nicole's Ether Support abilities, including enemy defense reduction and Ether DMG boosts, are highly beneficial for Ether DPS units.
Seth
Seth's shielding and support are valuable, but not as impactful as top-tier buffers like Soukaku and Caesar.
Lucy
Lucy provides off-field damage and ATK buffs, with increased effectiveness through synergy with other characters.
Piper
Piper's potent EX Special Attack is highly effective, especially when paired with other Anomaly units.
Grace
Grace's Shock application and Anomaly build-up remain relevant, though less dominant than newer Anomaly Agents.
Koleda
Koleda's Fire/Stun abilities are useful in various team compositions, particularly those with other Fire characters.
Anby
Anby's reliable Stun abilities are overshadowed by other stronger Stun Agents.
Soldier 11
Soldier 11's straightforward high damage output is effective, but less versatile than other options.
B-Tier
B-Tier Agents offer some utility but are generally outperformed by higher-tier Agents.
Ben
Ben's defensive capabilities are niche and his overall impact is limited.
Nekomata
Nekomata's AoE damage potential is hampered by limited synergy options in the current meta.
C-Tier
C-Tier Agents currently lack the overall performance to compete effectively.
Corin
Corin's damage output is outclassed by other Physical Attack Agents.
Billy
Billy's damage is insufficient to compete with other DPS options.
Anton
Anton's single-target focus and limited DPS hinder his overall effectiveness.
