Each tier list is ranked from SS tier to F tier.
SS Tier
These are the must-haves that make all of the content in the game the easiest and can be used across almost every team.
S Tier
These are the characters who are super strong in what they do. They can also act as a core member in many teams across the game but may need more investment than others.
A Tier
These characters are strong, but they will definitely need more investment and care. This means they're supported by their artifacts, weapons, and other characters on the team.
B Tier
These characters are good but are pushed into the niche category. They are going to be those characters when put into a specific team they will shine exceptionally.
C Tier
These are like the characters in the B Tier, but they are going to be the ones who are first to be moved off the team when you get someone on the higher tier.
F Tier
These are the lowest tier for a reason. You should only use characters in here if you don't have 'ANYBODY' else in the tiers above.
