S-Tier

S-Tier Agents consistently excel in their roles and synergize effectively with others.

• Miyabi: Exceptional Frost damage dealer with high potential, though requiring strategic play.
• Jane Doe: A superior version of Piper, boasting significantly higher Assault Anomaly damage.
• Yanagi: Efficient Disorder trigger, ideal for pairing with Anomaly units like Miyabi.
• Zhu Yuan: High-damage DPS, particularly effective with Stun and Support characters (especially Qingyi and Nicole in version 1.1).
• Caesar: Exceptional defensive support, providing substantial buffs, debuffs, and crowd control.
• Qingyi: Versatile stunner, boosting damage output for any team with an Attack Agent. While strong, Lycaon surpasses her in some Ice team compositions.
• Lighter: Strong Stun Agent, particularly beneficial to Fire and Ice teams.
• Lycaon: Ice-based stunner, significantly enhancing Ice damage and Daze DMG for allies.
• Ellen: High-damage Ice Attack Agent, synergizing exceptionally well with Lycaon and Soukaku.
• Harumasa: Powerful Electric Attack character (initially a free reward), demanding specific build strategies.
• Soukaku: Effective Ice support, providing significant buffs to Ice units like Ellen and Lycaon.
• Rina: Support Agent providing high damage and PEN (defense ignore) buffs, particularly beneficial to Electric characters.

A-Tier

A-Tier Agents are strong within specific team compositions, excelling in their roles but potentially outperformed by S-Tier options in other contexts.

• Nicole: Ether Support, enhancing Ether damage and reducing enemy DEF. Effectiveness is highly dependent on the team composition.
• Seth: Solid shield and support, but less impactful than top-tier buffers like Caesar and Soukaku.
• Lucy: Support with off-field damage and ATK% buffs. Synergy with other characters enhances her DPS.
• Piper: Relies heavily on her EX Special Attack, excelling in Anomaly-focused teams.
• Grace: Strong Anomaly builder, though less crucial with the increasing number of Anomaly Agents.
• Koleda: Reliable Fire/Stun character, synergizing well with other Fire units, particularly Ben.
• Anby: Reliable Stun unit, but easily interrupted compared to other stunners.
• Soldier 11: Straightforward Fire damage dealer, effective but less nuanced than other DPS options.

B-Tier

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

• Ben: Defensive character with parry mechanics, but limited team benefits outside of Crit Rate buff.
• Nekomata: AoE damage dealer, but heavily reliant on team synergy and currently limited by available support.

C-Tier

C-Tier Agents currently offer limited contributions compared to other characters.

• Corin: Physical Attack character, outperformed by other Physical DPS options.
• Billy: Attack character with decent Chain Attacks, but lacking overall damage output.
• Anton: Electric Attack character with interesting Core Skills, but hampered by low DPS and single-target focus.
