How we rank
- Damage output in their intended role (DPS / Sub-DPS / Burst)
- Team enabling — does the character unlock reactions or buff cycles?
- Versatility across content — PvE, exploration, endgame bosses
- F2P-friendliness — accessibility of weapons and awakening levels
Disagreement between sources is good — it usually means the character's value depends on the mode (e.g. Skia drops in endgame because most bosses are highly mobile, but stays strong in exploration where stealth shines).
