[nub]

Which characters are OP for me to use?

Io and Percival

If you want the most easy and most op character in the game play eugen. You sit almost the entire time in sniper mode ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out dmg without needing to get close to any boss and you also dont lose up time when for a good chunk of bosses when they do bloodthrist mechs. Like lord eugen is so mega busted its insane. Also his weapon casual hits 3 times big targets

Rackam and Eugen purely for maximum dps time.. Ranged will always have that advantage.

Pure DPS Namaya's where it's at.

I started using Id when I unlocked Very Hard and while I didn't like him at first, as I've leveled him up and his alternate form lasts longer he seems really, really good.

I'm still at around lvl 70 for him, Eugen, and the captain. I'm still seemingly kind of in the mid/mid-late game and the only other character I've used is Rackam. Out of the four so far I like playing him as much as I do Eugen or the captain.

If you like support, Rosetta is OP, especially her Lost Love skill is OP.

rosetta god tier imo. once she ramps she can do consistent damage

Personally, I found Rosetta to be one of the best characters for the AI to use. I believe someone tested the different AI's and found Rosetta to consistently do quite well as an AI companion.

Charlotte is reliably good. Always. She can be your SBA farmer with her special skill that redistributes SBA to everyone. She never dies and sticks to bosses like glue while spamming hits. Perfect when you're maining Ferry. You'll be doing SBAs constantly.

Cag is amazing support until endgame. Then Rosetta or Gran/Djeeta takes over. Cag's Phantasmagoria and Revive isn't as useful endgame once you have auto-revives and damage capped.

Eugen is also very good as AI as he's ranged and it's hard to mess him up.

Eugen is an absolute dunce as an AI.
Was doing some tests with a friend watching how the AI utilizes each character and when we got to Eugen we couldn't help but laugh our asses off.

Some examples of his AI being a dunce include using Paralyzing Shot and following that up by holding block and crabwalking until the boss recovered (every time) and running to near melee range before shooting while never actually using the snipe stance.

His damage is carried entirely on how aggressively the AI uses his skills and the reasonably fast cooldown on them.

As AI companion, any one who does not use complex mechanic and compatible with dodge, because AI always use dodge.
Examples :
- Katalina : she will save her Ares gauge for support skills.
- Siegfried : often perform Combo C & skills except counter skill.
- Rosetta : has scripted pattern when to use certain buffs.

Character with "complex" mechanic.
- Captain : AI never build Arts level.
- Charlotta : AI never use the spam.

Haven't observed other characters yet.

Cag's raw DPS is significantly higher than Captain and especially Rosetta.

You haven't seen how ridiculously strong X Y Y spam and Pain Train is(especially on link time), have you?

Rosetta DPS is actually terrible, and as much as people want to say she's good, she really isn't; her best is worse than a good character's worst.

I've been experimenting with Rosetta with parse, and during flawless runs where 95~100% of her attacks connect, her total DPS caps at between 200-210k, while characters like Cag or Charlotta hit 200-210k on a non-optimal run.

Good, because Charlotta X mash is worse DPS than cancelling X spam immediately with Noble Strategy.

We're talking about AI. AI Cag is awful at DPS.

[yuzhonglu]

Eugen AI is a dunce, but even as a dunce it out - DPS's all the other AI's.
