This tier list ranks every Nova-stage DPS by digging into their full kits, based on their setup speed, resource efficiency, self-sufficiency, and boss performance, among of course their raw stats.
This list was curated by our expert, CoffeeASAP. You can check out his video for full explanations!
Fulmintis: The best DPS in the game. Crits refund resources, boost crit chance further, and stun enemies, creating a snowballing loop of damage, sustain, and control.
Malevsera: Gets stronger as its health drops and can spend health to fuel its own damage, healing back afterward in a fully self-sustaining loop.
Irisalis: An overloaded kit with damage-dealing clones, cost reduction, team healing, and self-revival, offering absurd value for a single DPS.
Grizbo: Simple and strong. Its ultimate instantly fills its rage meter to skip setup, then cashes out marks for big damage.
Gachapus: A luck-based kit whose ultimate can bypass RNG entirely to enter a powered-up mode with stronger attacks and resource generation.
Fenmane: Chains lightning bursts into stored, marked damage for a second burst, seen as the closest thing to S tier if a good setup is found.
Pawney: A boss-killer that explodes in damage once an enemy is stunned/broken, with what's called the best ultimate animation in the game.
Infergon: Applies its own fire stacks almost instantly for a massive self-sufficient damage boost.
Lunara: A complete, self-sustaining DPS whose abilities buff attacks, restore resources, heal, and permanently boost damage, clearly outperforming 
Helion.
Waleetle: Charges up to unleash a much stronger spin attack, especially against vulnerable enemies.
Thornblade: Runs a clean, high-execution combo loop where skills empower basic attacks and reward precise counter timing.
Stellarys: Was once the top-attack character before a nerf, but remains reliably strong thanks to clone summons, mobility, and CC escape with minimal setup.Helion: A safe, self-sustaining starter DPS with no glaring weaknesses but also no standout broken mechanic.
Ignitis: Snowballs into a room-clearer against groups but loses its identity and power in single-boss fights.
Cornet: A fast, safe ranged attacker with easy crit bonuses, held back by vulnerability and expensive stronger attacks.
Glynsera: A build-charge, unleash-one-big-attack character that works but is slow and repetitive since everything must be rebuilt after each burst.
Scorchhowl: Hits hard but relies heavily on precise dodge timing and burning resources all at once, making it inconsistent.
Sherro: The highest ceiling in the roster on paper, but it demands too much water setup and resources for the payoff it gives.
Irisal: Builds damage far too slowly compared to every other DPS, and is fully outclassed by its upgraded form, Arisalis.
