DPS characters

[Ren O'the Blade]

Hard to find any relevant info after patch, most content makers have moved on, or not doing anything new. With the recent changes, what characters are still performing at peak DPS value? I cannot for the life of me do the double cancel for Charlotta's ariel attack in Noble stance(nor find any info on how) I only maxed her term weapon so I could smash content. Before I invest in another 4 hour grind for parts. I would like to know. In your opinions, what characters are performing very well.

Vaseraga is most likely the best DPS in game and he do the most damage
Other them him i'd say Id and Percival, these 3 are among highest damage dealers in game.
There are maybe other but i didnt play with these characters so i dont know.
With character i play these 3 do the most damage

All characters can do DPS that all matters are based on player's preference.
If you want simple gameplay there are examples like Rackam or Percival who has minimal mechanics.

Thank you, I do not have the term weapons for them yet, I suspected Perc was fine and from one of the videos I was able to find, Vas was improved by the patch. May just continue till I get a term weapon off of one of them before I switch my main again.

Not all character perform at the same level once terminus weapons or certain sigils have been maxed. I cleared all content with the captain as a main till I got my 1st terminus weapon as Ferry. But neither character does massive damage and the set up on the captain made highly mobile fights a chore. So while I know all characters CAN do the content. Some are just better than others and I wanted some opinions after the patch to get an idea of whom is still performing. Charlotta is very very easy to DPS with and stick to the boss, and I am playing her right now, I thought the damage I was going to be able to hit with her would be higher. I could barely hit 18 million on the dummy, which means my DPS is likely lower on bosses. I do not necessarily plan on changing based on what I read here. Just wanted some more recent, post patch info, and thank you for your opinion as well.

My best performing characters VS the new boss are Percival and Yoda. Yoda in particular helps make runs more consistent because of team wide mirror image.

I've been running the fight legit with another person and 2 AI and our clears tend to be around 8 minutes with no phase skipping.

I'll run Percy or Yoda and my teammate has run Vane for most of them. Two AIs are Cag and the Captain, built mostly for support.

There's some kind of a Lancelot cheese strat for the boss going around though. You can look into that if you want.

I'd imagine it's probably difficult to find info on what the 'meta' is in this game because everyone is reasonably capable. The main difference between characters is if they're easy or hard to do max DPS with.

While you are correct that Vas does a lot of damage per hit, he's not a mobile character. I tried using him against the new boss but it didn't work well because he would constantly teleport away and out of range of my charged attacks. But yeah, Vas is great in any fight where stuff isn't constantly moving out of range.

I haven't tried Id on that particular fight but I find him a bit unforgiving to use overall because if you get downed while transformed (in either mode) the game forces you back to square one and you have to recharge the entire gauge again. Getting two sets of skill CDs is nice and all, but the longer ramp up time it takes to go from Normal > Dragon > Godmight puts him behind other characters in terms of potental burst DPS. He is a very fun character to play though. WIth some adjustments to how fast he can enter Godmight and the removal of form-loss on down I think he would be a very good character.

Percival is very good though. He currently holds my PB of 21m damage on the 60 second dummy. His personal buff + Skill and charged attack spam combo is does a lot of DPS.

Thank you for the input, I suspect the Lancelot strat you are referring to is, flight over flight with the sigils designed to take advantage of invincibility and SBA gain, to cheese luc out of phases, not really interested in that. I suspect I am going to wait out the term drop for percival, the recent change to his DPS rotation did not put me off, I was not looking forward to skill cancelling to maximize slacht anyway, yord did not look too fun to me, any more than Namarya does, I actually have her term weapon. Just have not put anything into leveling it.

Vaseraga is actually insanely good for the Lucilius fight. He has the second fastest known legit solo clear right now, one second behind the fastest known Lancelot that's not abusing uncapped FPS. And he's absolutely mobile, it just involves dash cancelling to retain combo..

Lancelot, Vaseraga, Eugen, Charlotta, Io, and Zeta are all in pretty good spots for this fight. Meanwhile Ghandagoza stays suffering, Rosetta stays numerically undertuned, and Katalina suffers very badly in this one fight in particular due to Ares mechanics being strict.
