Tier List/Shark3143/Flame

Portrait	Name	Tier	Role	Preference	Notes
	Mikoto	S+	Attacker	Midgardsormr	With his Critical Rate up and High HP = Crit, Mikoto has a whopping 18% increase to his base critical rate. Add his natural high strength and self buffs from his S1 on top of this, and his damage is through the roof. Access to the Blade moveset gives him strong mobility, and good AoE.
	Gala Sarisse	S+	Attacker	None	Sarisse is capable of outputting high damage from range by stacking buffs. Each individual stack of Sylvan’s Strength counts for 2 individual buffs, allowing Sarisse to easily reach a x6 or x7 boost on her S1 completely unaided if she’s allowed to attack continuously. She’s also the first character to feature dual ailment immunities, and can excel in all types of content.
	Valentine’s Hildegarde	S+	Healer	None	Hildegard has a strong healing and support kit thanks to her potent regen heal, shields, and energy stacks. She starts strong out of the gate thanks to her 100% Skill Prep, and can immediately start the fight with 3 energy stacks by using both abilities, so it’s reasonable for Hildegard to energize the entire team during a quest with no further synergy or support from other energy characters. The total healing of her first skill is very high, but its charge time is below average at 7700 SP rather than the usual 5900SP for an S1 heal. Despite the slower charge time, it would take a very lengthy quest for other good healers to challenge Hildegarde’s healing output, because she starts with 100% Skill Prep and can eventually energize her own heals. The actual value of shield skills can vary, but it’s worth noting that the strength of shields are determined by the user’s HP rather than the recipient’s, so the value of shield skills is higher on healers since they often equip HP dragons to scale recovery potency.
	Verica	S	Healer	None	With two heals and her S1 being an usually potent regen heal (which also heals stun), she’s easily one of the better healers in the game. She has the option of using the Elemental 4* Staff for a 3rd heal, as well as multiple passives to increase her recovery potency, leaving her wanting nothing but perhaps Skill Prep.
	Karl	S	Attacker Support	Imperial Onslaught	High HP = Strength already gives him solid damage output, and he also has a party wide strength buff to further increase the room’s DPS, giving him a high contribution to damage overall in all content. He does even better when he can stack up Slayer’s Strength, which he does with ease thanks to the sweeping AoE of his S1, allowing him to crush Wind IO which he’s optimized for thanks to Sleep Res.
	Vanessa	S	Attacker	Midgardsormr	With her high strength, two powerful attack skills, and extra force strike damage, she’s a very solid pick for fire DPS, but her ceiling potential is currently held back by the 5* fire axe’s critical damage boost, which is nearly useless without synergy. Regardless, she’s capable of outdamaging those placed below her.
	Ezelith	A+	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Ezelith is held back by her poor S1, which has an animation that’s so lengthy, it has less DPS than her regular attacks, cutting into her damage potential. However, the stacking defense debuffs from her S2 provide a large source of damage contribution by increasing everyone’s damage overall, and Broken Punisher gives her excellent damage in dragon form during the break.
	Aoi	A+	Attacker	None	A solid attack character with two attack skills, access to a 3rd from the 5* fire katana, and Overdrive Punisher to help boost her DPS. Her S1 and S2 have good coverage for hitting multiple targets, which backs up her natural AoE coverage and mobility as a blade user. However, she faces the problems all 3* share with only a single passive, lower BST, and a combined 75% resistance.
	Euden	A+	Attacker	Raid	His statline and base skill damage are slightly lower than other 4* characters, but he has decent strength and 2 attack skills, in addition to lowering enemy defense. His S1 has a great AoE for cleaning up small fry, and his Dragon Claws is obscenely powerful specifically for raids as long as the Dragon Prep meta holds, but it’s too slow to be very useful elsewhere.
	Xania	A+	Attacker	Midgardsormr	Xania is optimized for a 3* character, with access to multiple attack skills with fast animations, as well as a skill damage passive. She unfortunately lacks access to a good 5* weapon, since the fire wand’s self heal doesn’t help her with her role.
	Valentine’s Ezelith	A	Attacker	Midgardsormr	Ezelith has a decent kit with multiple attack skills and okay passive abilities, but her damage output is middling. She’s better than most archers since she doesn’t rely on finicky status-based gimmicks, her burn applications are a tiny percentage of her damage, and the defense down debuff from her S2 works consistently since it isn’t resisted by bosses. However, her damage contribution remains less than impressive, so it’s mostly her full ailment resistance and Broken Punisher that set her apart from those rated below her.
	Naveed	A	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Slayer’s Strength and Sleep Res make Naveed very well prepared for Wind IO, and his base strength is high to boot. However, his S1 isn’t powerful enough to justify monopolizing both of his skill slots. He will eventually reach a solid damage output if the quest drags on long enough, but his ceiling isn’t impressive enough to justify the gimmick, and he underperforms while waiting to build stacks from his S2.
	Sinoa	A	Support	None	She has a dedicated support kit with very good uptime due to her extra buff time and fast charge rate for a buff skill. While random, her buffs are unusually potent, which helps make up for the inconsistency, but she has a lower average buff contribution to damage output when compared to Elly and even Melody, and her built in inconsistency drops her value slightly.
	Marty	B	Attacker	Midgardsormr	Marty’s 20% shields from his S2 aren’t very useful and he has a nearly useless Skill Haste passive that’s unlikely to actually cause a difference in the number of skill procs over the course of a fight. Thankfully, he has a decent S1 with a large sweeping AoE, and access to attack skills from weapons that give him decent damage output overall.
	Valentine’s Orion	B	Attacker	None	Orion’s damage is decent despite his single damage skill since he has access to elemental weapons with attack skills, and his defense buff helps his damage slightly by triggering his own 8% Strength Doublebuff. However, his 75% Curse Res does him no favors in fire-advantaged content, and his damage isn’t so great as to be worth a higher ranking.
	Alain	C	Attacker	Midgardsormr	While having two attack skills is always nice, his damage output remains a bit low and his Last Defense passive is nearly worthless.
	Renelle	C	Attacker	None	Renelle’s damage is poor and her ailment resistance is off-element, but, like Melsa, at least she has Flurry Devastation and a circular AoE to mop up small fry. While she has access to multiple attack skills, they have low base damage which doesn’t help considering that daggers in general are also underpowered.
	Melsa	C	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Her kit doesn’t offer much outside of Flurry Devastation. She’s usable in Fire IO because her circular AoE S2 hits multiple targets easily and her 50% Sleep Res might save her from a mistake, but her damage output is quite poor and her bane skill is a dead slot.
	Joe	C	Attacker	Midgardsormr	His strength isn’t the worst, and he sometimes adds additional damage through burn, but his chance to burn is low and relies on maintaining full HP to function. He does at least have quick skill animations going for him.
	Aurien	D	Healer Attacker	None	Tries to be a hybrid healer/damage unit without doing either well. He has awful charge time, damage, and range on his S2, as well as a total lack of support for healing built into his kit. You could slap Phoenix on just about any other fire character and be a more successful hybrid than Aurien.
