Note that these ranking are not the exact ranking in our tier list, but this is basically an evaluation of what's best to start with on day one among these six Standard Banner characters
Tier zero:
The absolute best picks, characters who has immediate high value, and best in slot in top teams.
1.
Jiuyuan
- AOE grouping from range is very useful.
- Sub dps.
- Self Healing, especially with one Awakening
- Best pair with
Nanally in Blossom team - Drops in value if you don't plan to pull nor play
Nanally , but doesn't become useless. She still has Value due to the Hexed reaction alone (Anima + Incantation) which deals damage based on damage already dealt to enemy in past 12 seconds.
2.
Daffodill
- She's best Break DPS in the game, bypassing even limited characters. So her value against endgame boss content is immense
- Her damage and Break increases with the number of support skills the team cast. Which is very easy to stack.
- Buffs Discord reaction (Incantation + Chaos + Psyche), which further increase break.
- On top of breaking, her dps damage is also great.
- At 1.0 ,
Daffodill is the only Chaos character in game, so if you don't get her, you are locked out of three full reactions! - Use your Selector on
Daffodill if you settled on
Jiuyuan from rerolling.
If you didn't get neither
Daffodill nor
Jiuyuan, you can keep rerolling.
Tier One
Very good characters, can hold on their own in most cases, and have decent teams. The only reason they are a tier below is because there are slightly better options that has immense value in previous tier
3.
Sakiri
- She's the best support in game, with high value both short term and long term with her huge ATK buff.
- At one awakening (One dupe), her buffs gets further increased, making her longevity an absolute sure thing.
- Her Incantation Element is so valuable, for being part of Hexed reaction to replicate portion of team damage, and being part of Discord reaction to Break bosses.
Sakiri will likely take top spot in every tier list, but the reason she isn't absolute number one reroll priority is:- Her element has a decent, free alternative in
Adler who forms good teams.
Haniel can work as an ATK buffer for accounts with no
Sakiri
- If you kept rerolling until you get
Sakiri + Tier Zero character, you may consider using the selector to get one dupe for Awakening
Sakiri for high value increase.
4.
Fadia
- Best defensive character in game, helps team survive a lot of punishment, and even invulnerable at some point
- Best character to parry with, and in some cases best to use normal attacks while team skills are on cooldowns
- Her value is not clear in early games, as content is less challenging. But it grows greatly at the very endgame, when enemies are higher level than max level character and deal a lot of damage.
- Her Discord team relies on getting
Daffodill first, and
Adler works as a shielder in absence of
Fadia, so accounts an work without her. But
Fadia will open up more offensive focused teams by covering the defense side, freeing the other three slots in team.
Tier Two
Not bad characters, they still function and can build a team around. But they are not recommended as target rerolls. They are slightly behind at launch, so imagine what happen after game release a long list of new limited characters
5.
Baicang
- Decent Main DPS, but outclassed by free character
Chiz and easy to get limited character
Nanally - Suspected get power crept by upcoming
Lacrimosa in next patch 1.1 - Absolutely Require
Daffodill to reach full potential, and you better reroll for her instead of
Baicang anyway.
6.
Hathor
- This one stings, as she used to be better at Beta, but now her high DPS charged attacks gets interrupted
- Her overall top DPS potential is hard to reach
- You may use A rank
Skia as a cope Lakshana element for accessing Stain, Remora, and Charged reactions. But in general, it's not the top priority element to reroll for - There's one useful use for having Hathor on your roster, which is not related to Combat, but rather life skills
- She unlock one Anomaly Furniture in your house, which can be upgraded to give you equipment of highest rarity daily
- These equipment are obtained by other means, but this particular method hasten the obtain rate, and help accounts reach full power fast in the long run.
- Other characters also have other useful life skills, related to City Tycoon, but Hathor's is very prominent that it's worth mentioning.
If you get one of these two, and you don't like the character dearly, you better reroll.
