Tier List

The six tiers aren't arbitrary labels — each sits behind a clear score threshold (0-5):

• SS — the version's apex core, clearing nearly every endgame mode with little team specialization.
• S+ — extremely strong, a single step under SS, usually needing a slightly better team or investment to peak.
• S — very good, a reliable pillar across most hard content.
• A — solid; built right, still clears endgame, just less flexible than the cohort above.
• B — good for story and regular content, fades in the hardest tier of content.
• C — the most limited in the current roster, better suited to early progression than pushing scores.

The exact cutoffs live under the "data sources"/methodology link at the top — nothing is hidden.

A name reaching SS or settling at A isn't a gut call — gamevika scores on 6 axes, cross-checked against real build data and community consensus:

1. Ceiling — how high performance peaks with a full combo and proper build. 2. Team Synergy — lifting the whole squad or shining solo. 3. Versatility — fitting many teams/modes or locked to one template. 4. Investment — already strong at E0 with an obtainable Light Cone, or only unleashed at a high Eidolon. This is what F2P players weigh most.

5. Break Effect/DoT application — for Break or DoT units, stacking speed matters as much as raw crit damage. 6. Endgame Consistency — peaking evenly across all 3 modes or strong in one and weak in another; this is exactly why the board splits Memory of Chaos/Pure Fiction/Apocalyptic Shadow instead of a single blended number.

The overall board is an average, but many characters have very lopsided ceilings across the 3 modes — switch tabs on the live board above to see the tier for the mode you're actually pushing, instead of just the blended number.

A common pattern: AoE-focused DPS units usually dominate Pure Fiction (multi-target scoring) but only match the upper cohort in Memory of Chaos (single-target boss cycles), while single-target DPS units run the reverse. This is also why some English sites rank a name flatly at the top while this board gives them SS in one mode and S+ in another — not less precise, just measuring exactly where they peak.

This is the cohort that sets the current power ceiling, clearing nearly every hard mode without needing a specialized team. The live board above is the full, self-updating SS list — below are a few representative faces so you can picture how strong an SS pick is:

• A single-target DPS with an extremely high damage ceiling, self-sufficient even at E0 without a signature Light Cone.
• An Amplifier that buffs or debuffs the whole team, near-mandatory in most strong compositions.
• A Sustain unit (heal/shield) who doesn't just keep the party alive but also adds team damage.

Don't memorize names — tap each character on the live board for their build and reasoning, since the order inside the apex shifts every patch.

S+ is the most crowded tier — many of these clear hard content when built right, just lacking a bit of versatility or needing more investment than SS. Because this band is wide, don't treat every S+ name as strictly equal: filter by role (DPS/Amplifier/Sustain) on the live board to see who leads your lane, instead of reading the flat S+ label alone.

A few S+ names have been ranked higher or lower by other sites depending on when they pulled their data — Break Effect or DoT-focused DPS in particular tend to be undervalued by rankings that only look at crit-combo damage instead of scoring their actual mechanic. This board scores by each character's real mechanic (see the criteria above), so it can differ slightly from boards that only weigh raw crit damage.

The default board ranks at E0 (no Eidolons) with an obtainable Light Cone — the fairest baseline for most players. But Eidolons don't scale evenly: some characters are already SS/S+ material at E0; others need one "hinge" Eidolon (usually E1, E2 or E4) to unlock a core mechanic — a free extra hit, shorter cooldown, or stacking a status — before climbing steadily toward E6.

Because real build data at each individual Eidolon level isn't deep enough yet to build a trustworthy E0-to-E6 score grid across the whole roster, gamevika hasn't published that detailed grid — doing so without enough data would just be guessing. To know which Eidolon is the hinge point for a specific character, check their individual build page, where it's called out instead of assumed linear.

The current roster is huge, so pull order matters more than pulling everything:

• Missing a team pillar: an SS/S+ Amplifier or Sustain raises your account's value longer than a second DPS, since they fit into almost any team.
• Need a carry: a high-ceiling DPS matching the role you lack (single-target for Memory of Chaos, AoE for Pure Fiction).
• Very new characters: real build data isn't deep enough yet, so their tier may shift in later patches — only pull if you'll build a full team around them, not just because they're new.

Favor a solid E0 first before pouring resources into Eidolons for one character — unless they belong to the "hinge Eidolon" group noted above.

Kept short: prioritize an SS/S+ Amplifier or Sustain over a second DPS, since they raise your whole account's value longer. If you already have a pillar, pick a DPS matching the mode you're actually pushing — check the Memory of Chaos/Pure Fiction/Apocalyptic Shadow tab, not just the blended tier.

Already own A/B-tier characters? Don't rush to chase tier — proper relics and an obtainable Light Cone usually matter more than pulling another under-built S+. The board auto-updates every patch, so come back before pulling to avoid mis-investing.
