[Post-edit: Roles have been simplified for direct comparison]
- Carry - Winning condition by DPS or summon
- Assassin - Eliminate Carry
- Juggernaut - Lead front-line assault
- Bodyguard - Protect Carry
- Support - Provides utilities to the team
Tier A - Outperformer
- Highest damage at range
- Great skills at long range
- Drones and Camouflage trait provide unparallel survivability
Sho'syl
- High DPS in Guild Raids with multi-hits for more effective buff
- Great passive for DPS when not moved
- Not enough survivability on his own
Maugan Ra
- Powerful and ranged summons for all situations
- Powerful melee damage (top 5), but slightly squishy
- Great synergy with Creed and Snotflogga
Commissar Yarrick
- 2nd highest attack damage at range with multi-hits for more effective buff
- Global active to snipe key target in safe range
- Suppression and passive to provide some support, putting him to Tier A
- Poor health and armor, not enough survivability against Assassins thus in Tier A bottom
Thaddeus Noble
Tier B - Up to standard
- Powerful and ranged summons
- Good survivability from high HP and Armor, as well as his bodyguard
- However, Creed and the bodyguard do not do much damage. The damage level has him in the top of Tier B, but not Tier A
Castellan Creed
- Very powerful and ranged summons with high health and armor, fair damage and self-heal
- Need 6 rounds for full potential, lowering his rank to Tier B
- Its passive puts it in danger when use, and it does not do much damage on its own
Anuphet
- One of characters with highest critical damage, but not very good base attack damage (Rank 15)
- Active and passive allows her to be mobile and take risky moves as Assassin
- Overwatches help secure locations
- Single-hit limits and effectiveness on buff
Calandis
- Long ranged, high attack damage (Rank 9) with multi-hits
- Suppression from attack and active to provide support over large area
- It is very slow, squishy, and cannot protect himself from Assassins, thus only in Tier B
Volk
- High attack damage (Rank 6) and active, both synergising with Heavy Weapon trait
- Passive provides some damage reduction for survivability
- Single-hit limits effectiveness on buff
- Slow movement speed, limiting his ability to get into position for overwatches in early stage
Certus
Tier C - Improvement Required
