-|Cleo's the free healer of the game. She's got 1 team-wide heal and a teamwide Defense buff. While the heal is nice, the Defense buff is too low to have a meaningful impact. A second healing skill would have been better in the majority of scenario's. 75% Skill Prep is welcome so she can start healing faster. However, her 3rd passive doesn't do much for her and she'd much rather have a Recovery Potency passive in that slot. Also suffers from having free 4* stats, and her weapons are pretty lackluster as well.

+|Edward's got 1 team-wide heal just like Cleo. His seocnd ability is a 20% team-wide shield, which blocks damage and additional effects of a single hit so long as the damage doesn't exheed 20% of the unit's max HP. This gives him some good utility, although in the long run a second team heal would be better than a shield for mitigating damage. He also gets Full HP = Healing, increasing his healing when he is at full HP.

-|Despite being labeled a support unit, Orion can output a respectable amount of damage. If you're adept enough at keeping his combo count up, he can hit 19% crit chance without any other buffs or Wyrmprints. He also inflicts Blind, which helps out Nefaria a lot on top of being a generally useful status. The Blind is on a relatively short cooldown. Also comes with 50% Skill Prep which is never a bad thing. Solid dps unit overall with some good utility to back it up.

-|Berserker's an interesting unit. He's dark's best tank since he has access to all the tools a tank would want: An atk down on his 1st skill and a max HP up/heal on his 2nd skill. However, like with many other tanks, his damage leaves somewhat to be desired. He's got Striker's Skill which increases his skill damage, but it only applies to two of his skills and not on his regular attacks. Last Offense is a good buff, but can only activate once per quest. A solid tank overall, but lacks damage and team utility.
+|At a glance, Berserker appears to be a good tank. However, a closer look at his kit reveals a number of issues. First up is his Strength Down on Calamity Wheel. It's only got a 40% chance of landing which makes it unreliable. His second skill increases his maximum HP and heals for the same amount. However, the heal is pretty low. His first passive, Strikers Skill, doesn't really benefit Berserker too much since it only affects Calamity Wheel. He'd much rather have a Strength buff instead. Lastly, Last Offense is a nice one-time Strength buff. However, the fact that it is only once per quest makes it pretty lackluster. On top of that, the current content does not require tank units.

-|Pretty good Strength stat for a 3*, and has Skill Damage +20%. Zace takes the conventional lance idea and throws it out of the window, opting to do damage instead. He's got 2 nukes, one which inflicts Blind. Decent unit overall, but in the end he's a 3* unit.

His first skill inflicts Blind and charges relatively fast, giving him some welcome utility on top of his damage.

-|A 3* who actually uses her passive slot on something which is somewhat useful. At full hp, she gets 38% skill damage up. Unfortunately, she can't heal herself so has to rely on others to keep her damage output at the maximum. Suffers from a low Strength stat, even for 3* mages.
+|Althemia is a ranged damage dealer who focuses on keeping her HP at full HP and then firing off powerful nukes thanks to her first passive, Full HP = Skill Damage +30%. Being a mage, her skills have naturally high multipliers. However, she can't sustain herself so once she loses HP, she has to rely on a teammate to heal her back up to full HP. She's also outclassed by Kleimann.

Would've preferred a more consistent passive. Too bad Jupiter can't be slept and Kleimann is a better choice for a unit with sleep.
+|While Orion has access to sleep, the other dagger in Dark has access to Sleep. Vice brings 2 nukes to the fight, with his second skill also inflicting Sleep. However, his skill multipliers are low and his second skill takes relatively long to charge up. His passive, Broken Punisher, makes him to respectable damage to enemies in Break, but has no effect outside of that which hurts his damage potential.

-|Kleimann takes on a more supportive mage role, having access to sleep on his second skill. Despite that, he's still got a pretty solid Strength stat - The highest of all the Dark  units. However, compared to other mages he's a bit weaker. Having a Skill Damage passive helps him on this aspect however, and the increased Force Strike damage from his first passive is also not bad. Unfortunately, he can't put Jupiter to sleep since Jupiter's immune to the status.

-|Dark's only 5* as of right now. Nefaria's built around Blinding and then taking advantage of Blinded enemies with Blind Punisher. And while Blind is active, she does a lot of damage. However, when there is not a Blind on her target, she doesn't perform as well as other damage characters. The Blind duration is kinda short, but most importantly, inconsistent (2-4s). Using her 1st skill removes Blind. Due to the inconsistent duration, you risk either removing the Blind too soon, or using her 1st after the Blind has timed out. On top of that, she only has 1 way of inflicting Blind. In the end, Nefaria fails to properly utilize her kit due to a number of reasons.
+|Nefaria is Dark's only archer and has access to Blind, as well as Blinded Punisher. Night of Antiquity also does bonus damage against blinded damage. However, without a Blind active on the enemy, this skill does very low damage. Her second skill also doesn't give her a damage nuke. Instead, it enhances her Force Strikes to do more damage and have a chance to inflict Blind on the Enemy. The damage on this skill is once again very low. Her passives also revolve around blind. Unfortunately, her first passive only works at full HP and doesn't give her any increased damage, and her third passive only activates when the enemy is blinded.
