Honest Character tier list from players?

[Gatsu]

just started the game and leveling through with katalina, io and rosetta. Then i realized on the characters mastery, only arkham and eugen that have high atk scaling. So I want to know who's best at Single DPS, Aoe DPS, buff, tanking, debuff, healing, etc (including character from crewmate cards)

there is no real tierlist. and the ones that are available only care for unreal DPS in a made up training scenario which is unlikely to be the case in a real fighting matchup against any boss. literally any char is good if you can play with it.

ah i see i see, i kinda got paranoid bcs i have never nailed the S+++ score, well maybe i might need few power above the min power req of the quests

[Physical Disconnect]

well some missions are harder to do in S++ than others because you have to fulfill subobjectives aswell and cant just relay on damage to reach the needed score.

Yeah don't worry too much about S++ ratings when starting out, all the characters in the roster are pretty decent provided you know how to control and gear them. I'd say there's a few light roles where some characters are tankier and can draw aggro or can provide support buffs, but it's nothing like MMO roles where duties are strict. The entire party is responsible for contributing damage, triggering stuns, and coordinating SBAs to be efficient at taking down bosses.

There's this one for bot helper performance. As for top dps, that would be Rackam, Percival, Vaseraga being top 3 at the moment iirc.
That being said, you'll eventually unlock and max out every character so just pick who you like.
Bosses are the main endgame so splitting up tier lists like that doesn't really make sense imo because in endgame, there's a damage cap and a healing cap.

S tier: Who you like
C tier: Who you don't like.
F tier: siegfried (until they buff the caps on his damage lol)

Dps ? top 3 dps atm
top 1 Rackham (Glass canon + less is more) build
top 2 Percival (Roter wheel bug)
top 3 Charlotta, Vaseraga or Eugen if he can spam bomb through the whole run

SS Tier, any character that I find fun to play. F Tier, the tuber who keeps telling me his subjective Tier list is gospel truth. I don't believe in gospel.

Narmaya is defo way up there if you have the rotation and the gear down.. I'm mvp most of the time and that's without war elemental. (stupid thing doesn't wanna drop)

Saying that You don't always have to be the top DPS. If you want to increase your clear speed multiplayer then ferry SBA spam or Lancelot glaciate etc.. is incredibly useful overall.

MVP is not an indicator of damage. It is a score system for overall performances where damage is only a part of it. As far as I can observe, which is also very confusing. I have low damage output characters getting MVP consistently. This is when I am using stun builds without optimizing damage outputs. I believe that link attacks gives you points, Support spells gives you point. Probably helping other revives rewards you with points too? I don't know how it actually works. But I have had Percival destroying bosses HP like there is no tomorrow while my teammates get the MVP player while I only earn half his points for the scores.

Then there is the mastery points. I consistently, I will get 2000 over. I am interested to know how this actually works. Why are my mastery points gained always this much higher then my team mates while they get miserably low points for it. Or are they not showing the real total mastery points gained by other players, but you can only see your own total mastery points gained?

I tried Katalina after a post here and man, she packs a punch! Instantly become one of my mains!

I think that the strongest characters are Percival, Zeta and Ferry, Percival and Zeta not only have absurd DMG numbers but also owns potent CC's with Percival having the most busted slow of the game.
Ferry may not dish big numbers, but she's a ulting machine and if played right she can carry most fights with her ult, giving time for the team to break the boss, she also have slow.

Then there are Katalina and Lancelot, Katalina can keep refreshing Ares with her Frozen Blade and also owns freeze, the most powerful CC of the game (cause some bosses when overdrive during slow or paralysis totally ignore it and go do their thing, but they cannot ignore freeze), Lancelot can apply freeze more reliably, he is not a high DMG number character but he is like Ferry on this regard.

Then we have pure DMG monsters like Charlotte, Vaseraga, Narmaya, Cagliostro, etc, (edit: Rackam) I know that Vaseraga also owns a powerful slow but it's not what he is know for, good Vaseraga players are god send!

The only character that I don't like is Yodarha, I think that he is too risk to almost no benefit kind of character, all the other characters can do better than him without needing his mark mechanic, he honestly needs a buff.

no need for that

The game is too easy so there is no need to make tier list.
But 'broken character' list is really necessary for newbies and Cygames dev team.
