Tier List/Shark3143/Light

Portrait	Name	Tier	Role	Preference	Notes
	Halloween Elisanne	S+	Attacker Support	All	Elly’s 30% increased Skill Damage and multiple attack skills give her good DPS, plus she raises the entire team’s damage with strength buffs from Sacred Maiden’s phase II and III, as well as healing the team on phase III. As good as her damage appears to be, she suffers from lengthy animations that can cause her attacks to miss on moving targets, and the time spent waiting cuts into her DPS, so a surprisingly large chunk of her contribution is through buffing. However, her buffs are enough to place her among the best.
	Annelie	S+	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught Void Battles	Annelie has a huge 35% boost to her Skill Damage, three damage skills when you factor in the 5* light lance, and she’s constantly stacking up enough energy to trigger her own Energized: Strength without any help. She also can stun enemies for a lengthy 6-7 seconds with her S1, which is very valuable versus the Manticore and his 0% stun resistance. The only thing that holds her back from greater heights is the downright glacial charge time on her 2nd skill and its lengthy animation.
	Lucretia	S	Attacker Support	Zodiark	A good light DPS that can pile on damage thanks to strength buffs, energy stacks, and Broken Punisher. The slow animation time and charge rate on her S1 holds her back slightly, but she can easily reach five stacks of energy for herself to empower her next damage skill and trigger Energized = Strength. She also hands out stacks of energy to the whole team, which gives her some extra damage contribution through buffing, but will struggle to fully energize other team members by herself before the quest ends. She shines on an energy team.
	Odetta	S	Attacker Support	Imperial Onslaught	Odetta’s damage contribution is very high thanks to her own damage, defense debuffs, and her proximity-based strength buffs. However, in practice she won’t always attain her maximum potential since her allies are unlikely to always be within range of her S2. While she also applies healing, the potency is quite low, so it’s more of a cherry on top rather than a core mechanic of how her kit functions.
	Albert	S	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Albert is obscenely powerful when he’s electrified, since he not only gains a large strength buff, but the damage of his S1 is boosted to very high levels. However, Albert’s huge potential damage output doesn’t always come through, since some of the extra damage from his electrified S1 tends to miss except on extremely large targets such as raid bosses, though the AoE is great at taking out small enemies. The alternate force strike granted when electrified also tends to send him too far out, preventing him from smoothly chaining together subsequent attacks. On top of this, his buff to apply electrified takes an incredibly long time to charge, and won’t start charging again until the buff has worn off 20 seconds later, so he’s unlikely to benefit from electrified more than once unless a quest really drags on. While his Force Strike passive is fantastic on the sword moveset due to the ability to quickly chain together a 1-2-Force Strike combo, there’s less demand for melting through overdrive bars in light-advantaged content since the Manticore in void battles can’t be broken.
	Julietta	A+	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Julietta’s bulk, Poison Res, and Slayer’s Strength allow her to easily demolish Shadow IO and facility events, but her damage contribution doesn’t excel vs a single target. Her defensive buff and Last Regen make her very unlikely to die, but personal survival skills are less useful than team survival skills in terms of contribution, and the Light element is full of healers. While her S1 has great base damage, she lacks access to further skills that output damage through her choice of elemental weaponry, and the critical damage boost from the 5* light axe is nearly worthless since she doesn’t have a good critical rate.
	Amane	A+	Attacker	Zodiark	Amane has solid damage output from range, as well as a great attack skill available on the 5* light wand with a huge AoE. Her S2’s value is reduced by its terrible charge rate, but she has access to Skill Prep which mitigates the issue somewhat. Unfortunately, her Broken Punisher passive is invalidated by the Manticore, which cannot be broken. On paper, Lucretia seems to do everything she does slightly better, but Amane has one advantage in that her S1 both charges faster and has superior tracking and animation speed, allowing her to fire it off at will and resume fighting quickly.
	Xiao Lei	A+	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	Xiao Lei has a solid 20% Skill Damage passive and access to an excellent AoE attack skill from the 5* wand. In addition to this, her skills have fast animations, and her overall damage output is high, but her team critical rate/damage buff from her S2 lacks the needed synergy to truly shine, since there are no crit-centric light characters. She’s also missing a full ailment resistance on account of being a 3* adventurer.
	Malka	A	Attacker Support	Imperial Onslaught	Full HP = Defense is mildly useless at best, but Malka manages to contribute quite well, despite his poor passives, thanks to his fast and decently powerful attack skill, a team strength buff, and access to the great attack skill from the 5* light lance.
	Fritz	A	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught Void Battles	His damage is a bit low and he lacks multiple damage skills with which to make use of his Striker’s Skill. However, Fritz has utility value through stuns, which is notable in the void battle versus the Manticore which has a 0% stun resistance. Unfortunately, he can’t activate his own Strength Doublebuff, and there’s a lack of good light adventurers that could activate it for him.
	Raemond	A	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught Void Battles	Raemond appears underwhelming at first since he has bad passives and poor damage on his skills. However, he has access to a 3rd attack skill from the 5* light sword, and the animation speed on both of his attack skills are excellent, giving him good damage output regardless. On top of that, his S1 can apply stuns, which are valuable versus Manitcore.
	Halloween Edward	B	Attacker	Zodiark	Edward has good mobility and AoE coverage thanks to the Blade moveset and his two damage skills. However, he needs to somehow maintain Full HP = Strength in order to output decent damage, since he doesn’t get access to a damage skill from the 5* light katana and his S1 has a slow animation.
	Rawn	B	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught Void Battles	Rawn struggles with awkward passives since Striker’s Skill is difficult to proc using bows and Stunned Punisher isn’t a large increase to damage without further team synergy. However, his ability to stun is valuable versus the Manticore, who has 0% stun resistance.
	Linus	B	Attacker	Zodiark	His natural strength is low and his passive skills aren’t great, but he has two hard-hitting damage skills to help make up for it.
	Ryozen	C	Support	Zodiark	He’s built to be a defensive support unit, which is unfortunately not a very valuable role when healers exist. His S1 offers a hefty 25% defense buff to the whole team, but charges more slowly than other S1 buffs. It does trigger his own Healing Doublebuff however, so if there’s one thing you can count on Ryozen to do, it’s stay alive. He’s immune to curse and laughs in the face of poison, but his damage is seriously lacking, and there's so many strong healers in light that his own near invincibility fails to bring much to a team.
	Malora	C	Attacker	Imperial Onslaught	She has Broken Punisher and lowers enemy defense slightly, but her own damage is a bit lacking since her skills don’t have good base damage.
	Luca	C	Attacker	None	Luca’s resistances are a mess and his Full HP = Strength passive can be unreliable, but he does have access to several attack skills and paralysis to give him an okay damage output.
	Irfan	C	Attacker	Zodiark	Does unimpressive damage overall, and his small boost from Strength Doublebuff only comes into play with team synergy from other poorly rated units such as Hope and Ryozen.
	Elias	D	Attacker Support	None	Lowest natural strength in the game, topped off with a Bane skill that’s a dead slot outside of event content. Requires energy synergy, or his S2 is worthless since he can’t reach full energy stacks alone.
