• B-Tier
• C-Tier

S-Tier

S-Tier Agents consistently excel in their roles and synergize effectively within teams.

• Miyabi: Miyabi's swift Frost attacks and substantial damage output make her a top performer. While requiring strategic play, her potential is undeniable.

• Jane Doe: A superior version of Piper, Jane Doe's critical hit potential on Assault Anomalies delivers significantly higher damage. Despite the inherent slowness of Anomaly-focused DPS, her power places her among the elite.

• Yanagi: Yanagi excels at triggering Disorder, a crucial effect achievable even without applying Shock. Her ability to trigger Disorder on any Anomaly-affected enemy makes her an invaluable teammate, particularly alongside Miyabi.

• Zhu Yuan: A high-damage DPS whose rapid Shotshell attacks synergize well with Stun and Support characters. In version 1.1, her optimal team composition includes Qingyi and Nicole.

• Caesar: Caesar redefines the Defensive Agent role. She provides exceptional protection, significant buffs and debuffs, and Impact-scaling crowd control, solidifying her as a top Support.

• Qingyi: A versatile Stunner suitable for any team with an Attack Agent. Her fluid movements and high DMG multiplier on stunned enemies surpass Lycaon and Koleda in many scenarios.

• Lighter: A Stun Agent with powerful buffs, especially effective with Fire and Ice characters.

• Lycaon: An Ice Stun Agent whose charged attacks apply Ice and Daze, enhancing Anomaly reactions. His ability to reduce Ice resistance and increase Daze DMG makes him crucial for Ice teams.

• Ellen: An Ice Attack Agent whose synergy with Lycaon and Soukaku is exceptional, delivering devastating damage, particularly with her EX Special Attacks and Ultimate.

• Harumasa: A free-to-obtain Electric Attack Agent who, with proper setup, unleashes powerful attacks.

• Soukaku: A Support Agent who buffs Ice Anomalies and significantly enhances Ice units like Ellen and Lycaon.

• Rina: A Support Agent who deals respectable damage while granting PEN (defense ignore) to allies. Her high damage output and Shock Anomaly generation make her valuable for Electric teams.

A-Tier

A-Tier Agents are strong in specific team compositions or excel in their roles but are outperformed by S-Tier options in overall effectiveness.

• Nicole: An Ether Support who pulls enemies into energy fields and boosts Ether DMG while shredding enemy DEF. Her effectiveness is primarily limited to Ether DPS units.

• Seth: A strong Shielder and Support, but less impactful than top-tier buffers like Soukaku and Caesar due to his niche application to Anomaly DPS.

• Lucy: A Support unit providing off-field DMG and ATK% buffs. Her DPS is amplified through synergy with other Agents.

• Piper: While her EX Special Attack is potent, her overall kit is less versatile than other top-tier options.

• Grace: A strong Anomaly builder, particularly effective at applying Shock. Her relevance has decreased slightly with the introduction of more powerful Anomaly Agents.

• Koleda: A reliable Fire/Stun character whose Daze generation makes her a valuable addition to Fire teams.

• Anby: A reliable Stun unit with quick and effective combos. Her susceptibility to interruption holds her back compared to other Stunners.

• Soldier 11: A straightforward Fire Attack Agent with high damage output.

B-Tier

B-Tier Agents have some utility but are generally outclassed by higher-tier options.

• Ben: A defensive character with parry and punish mechanics. His slow speed and limited team benefits hold him back.

• Nekomata: An AoE Attack unit whose effectiveness depends heavily on team composition and synergy.

C-Tier

C-Tier Agents currently offer limited value compared to other options.

• Corin: A Physical Attack Agent whose damage is contingent on continuously hitting stunned enemies.

• Billy: An Attack Agent with decent Chain Attack damage but overall low DPS.

• Anton: An Electric Attack Agent hampered by low DPS and single-target attacks.
