Tier List Test/Water

Portrait	Name	Tier	Role	Preference	Notes
	Lily	S+	Attacker	Brunhilda	The first RoB character in Dragalia Lost. Lily is water's first real ranged DPS and she's living up to her name. Not only does she bring 2 nukes to the fight, she also freezes with her first ability. Combine this with her 100% Skill Prep, and you've got a unit who can freeze enemies right from the start of the fight. Her main downside is her first passive, Full HP= Str+15%, as she'd much rather have Skill Damage up like Maribelle. She also has no way of restoring her own HP and has to rely on teammates to do so in order to keep the passive up.
	Xander	S+	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	If Xander were to go to any restaurant, he'd order Overdrive bars to eat. Seriously, he eats through these things really fast because of his combination of being a sword and having increased Force Strike damage. For the uninitiated, Sword units do 8x damage to Overdrive bars (not actual damage, just how fast the bar depletes) on Force Strikes. His first passive even rewards him for spamming Force Strike, and each stack of his first passive then boosts his 1st skill by 5%. Overall, Xander is a really solid sword unit who capitalizes on getting bosses to Break asap.
	Elisanne	A+	Support	None	Elisanne only has 1 offensive skill. However, she makes up for this by having a party-wide Strength buff. With her buff extension factored in, she buffs the entire party's Strength by 20% for 18 seconds. Not only that, the buff also charges really quickly: she needs about 3 full combos to fully charge it again. This means she can pretty much have a permanent uptime on the buff, counteracting the afct that she only has 1 damaging skill. However, her damage leaves much to be desired and her stats and resistance passives are worse than 4* units that arent free. But, if you're looking for a good utility unit, Elisanne does the job.
	Xainfried	S	Attacker Support	Brunhilda	Xainfried's as close to a "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none" unit as you're going to get in Water. He's got a stacking buff which increases his Strength whenever he transforms, as well as increased dragon time. He also has a team-wide 20% strength buff for utility, and a decent HP stat. Unfortunately, he takes a while to get rolling due to having to charge the dragon meter, and there are better pure dps, tank or utility units. That said, if you don't mind the tradeoffs and want the complete package in one unit, Xainfried's your go-to.
	Karina	A+	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Karina's got 2 damaging skill with high damage multipliers. This combined with her being an axe unit and having access to Stun Res makes her a solid unit for Imperial Onslaught. The 4* water axe also synergises very well with her kit. Since it buffs her Defense, she gets a 5% damage increase on her first skill and it activates her healing doublebuff. However, the total healing amount is relatively low, maxing out at 15% over 15 seconds. A Defense buff is also not very useful for clearing enemies with.
	Thaniel	B	Healer	None	Defense buffs are not in high demand for clearing content. As such, Thaniel would much rather have a second healing ability instead. Gauge Inhibitor is also not a very remarkable passive and Thaniel would've preferred a different passive. He does get a Recovery Potency up passive however which lets him heal for a respectable amount with his first skill.
	Orsem	S	Attacker	Brunhilda	Orsem has 2 offensive skills with a good Strength stat to back them up. His second skill also inflicts Freeze, which is a very strong affliction since Brunhilda can be frozen. He also gets a respectable amount of crit from his passives.
	Celliera	S	Attacker	Brunhilda	Celliera is basically a poor man's Orsem. Like Orsem, she's got access to Freeze, and her HP 70 = Strength Up passive is a nice boost to her damage. However, unlike Orsem, she's got a Strength buff instead of a damaging skill. The duration and strength of this buff is not enough to make up for the lack of a damaging ability. However, access to Freeze makes her a strong unit overall.
	Ricardt	A+	Healer	None	Ricardt has access to two healing abilities, and he's the only healer with 2 team-wide heals which makes him a strong healer. However, his first passive does not help him at all and he'd prefer a passive that would actually increase his healing.
	Luther	A	Attacker Support	Imperial Onslaught	Luther takes on a supportive role, being able to reduce both Strength and Defense. He also gets 2 damaging skills, as well as Strikers Strength, making him a good unit for Imperial Onslaught. However, his relatively low Strength and unreliable Defense Reduction (30% chance) hold him back.
	Cibella	C	Tank Support	Imperial Onslaught	Cibella's first skill iprovides a team-wide shield, which negates one attack completely so long as the damage doesn't exceed 30% of the allies' max HP. Her Last Recovery helps her survive longer, but can only activate once. However, currently there's no need for a defensive utility unit and her damage leaves much to be desired.
	Jurota	B	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Jurota is basically a budget Celliera, having a Strength steroid just like her. However, his buff only lasts half as long. Broken Punisher is nice, but bosses don't stay in break for too long and usually break only once per fight. Being a 3* means he only gets 1 non-resist passive and he'd love to have a less situational passive. Quite decent but outclassed by Celliera.
	Waike	A	Support Attacker	Brunhilda	Waike inflicts the Bog status. Bog's a pretty useful status effect since it increases damage taken from all sources, effectively functioning as a team-wide Strength buff. However, his first passive is only active at full HP which makes it very unreliable. His Strength is also on the low end.
	Rex	A	Attacker	Brunhilda	Being an axe unit with two high multiplier skills, Rex is a decent unit. However, his passives don't help him do more damage and he's outclassed by Karina.
	Zardin	C	Attacker	Brunhilda	Labeled as a defense unit but his entire kit revolves around dealing damage, which means his Strength stat takes a hit: He has the lowest Strength stat in the game. At least he has two damage skills, but they both have a low multiplier.
