How We Rank Units

This tier list reflects our own testing and matchup notes during the launch meta. We weigh raw stats, status effects, attack type, element, passive uptime, and how each unit fits into a standard team of five before placing it in a tier. Rankings will move as balance patches, new units, and trait crystals rotate the meta.

Last updated for the current release meta.

Reading The Tier List

Tier And Role

S picks carry runs, A picks handle most matchups cleanly, B picks need support, C and D picks are situational or outclassed by higher-rarity alternatives in the current meta.

Why A Unit Moves

Buffs, nerfs, and trait crystal rotations can push a unit up or down a tier between patches. Treat the list as a starting point and adjust based on your own runs.
