Tier: SSS
She has one of the best AOE clears in the game with her standard skill which does a lot of frost damage and, with the 2nd cluster unlocked, can freeze multiple enemies at the same time. Her ultimate and support skill can pull enemies which makes her incredible for utility, especially with stages with tanky mobs or multiple elite enemies. She is a good general support with her 5* weapon, Pine Aurora, as it buffs the damage taken by the target by 15% when you use her support skill. Unlocking her neuronics is the highest priority, since that’s where most of her strength lies.
Manifestations
M2 is the only big change for the support build, her resistance shred makes her invaluable for team building especially if combined with Pine Aurora’s 15% damage buff. Aside from that, her manifestations do not have a big impact so they’re not a high priority. You can prioritize farming shards of other characters instead.
Team Recommendations
1) Frost Damage Main DPS: Acacia - Kaguya, Lyfe - Wild Hunt/Mauxir -Meow, Yao - Quiet Quitter
Frost Main DPS, Frost Sub-DPS and a Healer is the basic idea of this team. You would build Twilight on the Sub-DPS to reduce frost resistance and Moira on Yao to increase healing.
2) Classic Trinity DPS: Acacia - Kaguya, Fenny - Coronet/Fenny - Lionheart, Yao - Winter Solstice/Marian - Swift or Queen of Pain
AOE DPS, short range DPS and long range DPS is the classic trinity combo of weapons in many shooter games. This team can clear pretty much any content in the game that you throw at them as long as you can skilfully dodge all enemy attacks. A neat combo for AOE clear against tanky enemies with shields is to use Kaguya’s support skill to pull enemies and then use Swift’s ultimate when they are gathered in one place.

Tier: SSS
Ethereal Cloud is mainly good at AOE DPS for mobbing and for bosses with multiple parts, but suffers when bosses don’t have any parts. Her support skill is decent for paralyzing enemies and recovering some U-energy, but not as good as Wednesday’s paralyze duration. Her ultimate is good for resetting duration of slips, but doesn’t deal enough damage to make a build around it. Most of her damage comes from increasing ballistic damage since that’s what the slip detonation damage is scaled off of.
Manifestations
M3 is a good stopping point if you want to farm her shards, but she does her job well without any manifestations.
Team Recommendations
1) Electrical Damage Main DPS: Chenxing - Ethereal Cloud, Lyfe - Wednesday/Chenxing - The Observer, Fenny - Coronet/Acacia - Kaguya
Ethereal Cloud uses Amano-Iwato to do a lot of ballistic and electrical damage from slip detonations. Wednesday helps reduce electrical resistance with Twilight, but you can also use The Observer instead as her turrets from the standard skill also apply the Twilight effect and at M1 & above, her slayer aura gives a huge damage buff. You can choose Coronet if you want increased rate of fire for more DPS or Kaguya for more resistance shred and mob pull.
2) Electrical Damage Aptitude DPS: Chenxing - Ethereal Cloud, Mauxir - Meow, Fritia - Little Sunshine/Siris - The Goldfish
The idea of this build is to use the additional damage from other operatives along with the slip detonation damage. Mauxir, Fritia and Siris can add aptitude through their skills. Mauxir with her ultimate and the other two with their support skills. You can use Siris instead of Fritia if you want a shield support, but Fritia does more consistent aptitude DPS.

Coronet is the best shotgun character in the game with lots of utility and an incredibly good support skill. Pretty much everything about her kit is really useful. She can stagger and paralyze multiple enemies with her skills, she can buff the whole team’s rate of fire and she does a lot of damage with the increase rate of fire & damage buffs from her standard skill.
Manifestations
She gets better with every manifestation in a pretty big way. I recommend farming her shards. M3 is good, but M1 is a decent stopping point as well if you want to farm another character’s shards.
Team Recommendations
1) Electrical Damage Main DPS: Fenny - Coronet, Lyfe - Wednesday/Chenxing - The Observer, Fritia - Little Sunshine/Acacia - [Redacted]/Yao - Quiet Quitter
Coronet is the main electrical DPS, with Chenxing(Twilight) or Lyfe (Twilight) as sub-DPS and you can choose between Fritia (Twilight), Acacia(Navigator) or Yao(Moira) based on whether you want more damage from Fritia’s aptitude, healing support or a time slow.
2) Time Control Support: Any good DPS, Fenny - Coronet, Acacia - [Redacted]
The whole idea of this team is to take advantage of Acacia’s time slow and Fenny’s increased rate of fire to increase the DPS of your main DPS. This can work with most characters, but I recommend a sniper character like Yao - Winter Solstice, since you can use this support skill combo to ensure you land all of your ultimate shots.

Tier: A
She’s not a very good DPS for a 5* character. The assault rifle is terrible due to ricochet and her ultimate lowers your mobility a lot & ends when you get CC’d. However, she is a great support character for fire DPS characters because her utility is very good. Namely, the stun on her standard skill and the iron body from the support skill will be very useful against tough human bosses in difficult endgame stages. Unfortunately, you have to swap to her to use the Stun, so it ruins the buffs that need your DPS to be on field like Amano-Iwato’s set effect.
Manifestations
Hush really needs her manifestations for the ultimate laser DPS build. Without M2, it would be hard to justify ever using her ultimate in difficult stages. M4 is a good stopping point for farming her shards, which is when her ultimate starts paying off for all the trouble it takes to safely use it.
Team Recommendations
1) Fire Damage Laser Ultimate Main DPS: Fritia - Hush, Fritia - Little Sunshine, Acacia - [Redacted]
This team is about spamming Hush’s ultimate for DPS and maximizing thermal damage. Little Sunshine’s Deiwos Alignment is really good for buffing damage against burning targets and Acacia’s support skill can be useful to slow time of the target to create a safe DPS window to use Hush’s ultimate. Little Sunshine should run Twilight & Strawberry Shortcake and Acacia should run Xinye & Prismatic Igniter.
2) Fire Damage Support: Yao - Winter Solstice, Fritia - Hush, Fritia - Little Sunshine
Little Sunshine’s Deiwos Alignment and Hush’s Iron Body support skill help increase her DPS and survivability. The synergy of this team is really good for thermal damage. Both Fritias should run Strawberry Shortcake & Twilight, but you can run Xinye on Hush if you’re using her ultimate for DPS or just as a U-energy battery for Yao.

Seems like a good multi-target DPS right now. Might be useful for Co-op and Jotun Tunnel. She’s bad for bossing though. I recommend T5 Wild Wasp Stinger because it’s good enough to shred mobs. There’s no content where you would need the extra DPS from 5* weapons to kill mobs.

Redacted slows time and gives navigator buff while also giving high U-energy regen, while observer buffs your skill damage with slayer aura. You can also use Mauxir’s support neuronics to spawn avatar orbs using Redacted’s support skill and do a significant amount of extra damage to the mobs.

Tier: SS
Wild Hunt is an SMG character, which is the worse weapon type for the endgame, but her skills eventually make up for it with enough investment. She becomes a great DPS at M1 and even better at M4. Her crowd control also makes her very desirable for Titan boss fights in endgame stages. She needs M1 to be SS Tier, otherwise she’s S Tier.
Note: She can use Navigator, but the issue with this logistic set is that it’s terrible when the enemies are immune to frozen.
Manifestations
As I mentioned above, M1 is a high priority. You want to farm those shards asap.
Team Recommendations
1) Frost Damage Main DPS: Lyfe - Wild Hunt, Acacia - Kaguya/Mauxir - Meow, Yao - Quiet Quitter
Frost Main DPS, Frost Sub-DPS and a Healer is the basic idea of this team. You would build Twilight on the Sub-DPS to reduce frost resistance and Moira on Yao to increase healing. Kaguya is an incredible support for frost DPS since her support skill already reduces resistance and, with Twilight, it reduces even more.
2) Freeze Support: Mauxir - Meow, Acacia - Kaguya, Lyfe - Wild Hunt
This team is a super late game team since it needs high investment, but Mauxir is the main DPS with the other two as sub-DPS. Lyfe’s freeze support skills really helps Mauxir deal more damage. This team is very good against Titans, since you can keep spamming freeze.

Tier: S
Swift is easily the most fun character in the game for me, her highly mobile playstyle is really fun. She really excels at destroying shields, so she is very good against bosses like Beauvoir who regen their shields. With M1, you don’t even have to aim for a while after the first ADS shot on a weakspot. Her ultimate is incredible for AOE clear and the interrupt & cleanse effects on her support skill make her a great support for certain enemies too.
Manifestations
If you’re going for the Dharma build, then you should rush M1 as that is when her kit really feels good to play. Highly recommend getting at least M1, but M3 is a good stopping point even though all of her manifestations are useful.
Team Recommendations
1) Kinetic Damage Main DPS: Marian - Swift, Fenny - Lionheart, Acacia - Kaguya
Kaguya decreases all type resistance with her support skill and can help suck in mobs to use your ultimate for AOE clear. Fenny is a great sub-DPS who also replenishes bullets and can further reduce kinetic resistance with Twilight. You can use either builds for Marian in this team.
2) Classic Trinity DPS: Marian - Swift, Fenny - Coronet, Acacia - Redacted
This team covers all ranges and you can maximize DPS windows with the support skill combo of Coronet and Redacted. ADS damage build will benefit more from the combo of this team.

Tier: SSS
Winter Solstice is the highest DPS character at low investment. With M1 and Space Cowboy, her DPS is unmatchable during her ultimate. Her playstyle is very much a classic sniper style, which some might find boring, but she does have cool animations. Her support skill is a very good battery for skill based main DPS chars, but she’s going to be the main DPS of your team most of the time with the current state of the game. No doubt, it’s a no brainer to pull her from the free selector if you didn’t get her from your beginner banner or free standard pulls. She’s good for pretty much all bosses.
Manifestations
Highly recommended to rush M1, she’ll be doing great damage at M1 even without Space Cowboy. M2 is a good stopping point, if you want to prioritize other characters.
Note: M2’s description is incorrect. The cooldown of standard skill during ult reduces by 3 secs to 5 secs.
Team Recommendations
1) Thermal Damage Main DPS Fire Team: Yao - Winter Solstice, Fritia - Hush/Enya - Big Sis, Fritia - Little Sunshine
Little Sunshine’s Deiwos Alignment and giving both Fritias Strawberry Shortcakes makes them great supports for Yao as they buff her damage and survivability with their support skills. The ideas is to always have the enemy burning so you have the buff and reduce the target’s resistance with Twilight on support characters. Enya also buffs Yao’s shot by 24% and with Prismatic Igniter she becomes a good support for Yao.
2) Ultimate Spam: Yao - Winter Solstice, Fritia - Hush, Acacia - Redacted
This team is focused on spamming ultimates to crowd control or DPS in various scenarios. Fritia and Acacia can use Xinye
so it really increases how fast you gain U-energy. Acacia can use Prismatic Igniter and Fritia should use Strawberry Shortcake.
Note: Yao fits in most teams because of how much damage she does with M1 & Space Cowboy.

[Redacted] is a top tier support character as her ability to slow time applies to all enemies and she also gives U-energy to the team with her Deiwos Alignment. She’s great in early game for AOE clear with her standard skill and can still be good for AOE clear in late game if you build her for it.
Manifestations
M2 is a decent stopping point, if you’re farming her shards.

1) Chaos Damage Main AOE DPS: Acacia - Redacted, Cherno - Those Two, Marian - Queen of Pain
This team is pretty simple. Redacted is the main AOE DPS, Cherno is the auxiliary unit support and Marian is the sub-dps.

This team is focused on spamming ultimates to crowd control or DPS in various scenarios. Fritia and Acacia can use Xinye

3) Time Control Support: Any good DPS, Fenny - Coronet, Acacia - [Redacted]
The whole idea of this team is to take advantage of Acacia’s time slow and Fenny’s increased rate of fire to increase the DPS of your main DPS.

Tier: SS
Observer is a very useful auxiliary unit DPS character who does great AOE electrical damage and is also a decent healer. The fact that she can’t use Moira makes her a worse healer than Quiet Quitter, but she makes up for it by increasing your skill damage with her support skill, with investment in manifestations, and her Thunder Soldiers can be decoys to tank for you. She’s good for both sub-DPS and support. At M3, she buffs skill damage of operatives by 30% with her Slayer Aura around the drop pods. She is a great character to invest in.
Note: She can’t use Moira because her support turret heals don’t count. This might be a bug, but I’m assuming it’s intentional for now.
Manifestations
M3 is a decent stopping point, but M4 will drastically reduce the S-energy required for support skill, so you can focus on building attack on logistics instead.
Team Recommendations
1) Auxiliary Units DPS Squad: Chenxing - The Observer, Cherno - Those Two, Lyfe - Wednesday
As the name suggests, this is all about having all the auxiliary units active. A typical rotation would be to farm U-energy with Chenxing and then use Cherno’s Ultimate to give all auxiliary units 25% of Cherno’s ATK. Then, summon Thunder Soldiers with Chenxing and swap to Lyfe to use her Ravens. All of them can use Usha, but Cherno can use Xinye and Chenxing can use Twilight alternatively. Preferably, Cherno should be M1 for this team.
2) Electric Team: Fenny - Coronet, Lyfe - Wednesday, Chenxing - The Observer
With Fenny as the main DPS, she gets a nice damage increase if Lyfe has Twilight due to the resistance shred. Chenxing can heal and support with her Thunder Soldiers as well. This team is good for short-medium range fights against mech bosses like Ni-type mech.
2) Ultimate Spam: Fritia - Hush, Chenxing - The Observer, Acacia - Redacted
Fritia - Hush is the main DPS using her ultimate with Fenya, while the other two buff the damage of the ultimate and increase U-energy recovery with Xinye. Chenxing uses the Skill Damage Support build in this team.

Cherno is highly reliant on her ultimate’s summon, Beloberg, to do damage since SMG suffers due to ricochet. She’s good as a support who buffs auxiliary units of other operatives in the team.
Manifestations
M1 is a must if you’re using Cherno, without M1 she’s quite useless. M3 is a decent stopping point, but all her manifestations are good.
Team Recommendations

2) Chaos Main DPS Cherno Team: Cherno - Those Two, Chenxing - The Observer/Yao - Quiet Quitter, Acacia - Redacted
The whole idea of this team is to keep Beloberg alive by healing Cherno and maximizing the damage he does by maxing Cherno’s Max HP for wreckage damage. Acacia can use Twilight to reduce chaos resistance and you can choose either healer based on what you need for the stage you’re clearing.

Enya’s kit is slightly difficult to optimize for DPS, but she’s a great support, especially for thermal damage teams. She’s mainly going to be useful for buffing Yao - Winter Solstice with her support skill, but with enough manifestations she could be more useful due to her ballistic damage increase with snake feathers.
Manifestations
Manifestations are not necessary if you just want to buff Yao with support skill, but they’re good if you intend to use her ultimate to buff other operatives. M3 is a decent stopping point, but M5 is where her ballistic damage increase will shine. I don’t think it’s worth investing so much in her manifestations though.
Team Recommendations
1) Thermal Damage Main DPS Fire Team: Yao - Winter Solstice, Fritia - Hush/Enya - Big Sis, Fritia - Little Sunshine
Little Sunshine’s Deiwos Alignment and giving both Fritias Strawberry Shortcakes makes them great supports for Yao as they buff her damage and survivability with their support skills. The ideas is to always have the enemy burning so you have the buff and reduce the target’s resistance with Twilight on support characters. Enya also buffs Yao’s shot by 24% and with Prismatic Igniter she becomes a good support for Yao.

Lionheart is the best shotgun DPS character with a very good mobility standard skill that also gives her a shield. She does very high DPS due to higher base attack than other shotgun operatives and is well worth investing in. Her support skill replenishes bullets so that’s pretty good for certain operatives as well.
Manifestations
Manifestations are not necessary, but M1 is great for mobbing.
Team Recommendations
1) Kinetic Damage Sub-DPS: Marian - Swift, Fenny - Lionheart, Acacia - Kaguya
Kaguya decreases all type resistance with her support skill and can help suck in mobs to use your ultimate for AOE clear. Fenny is a great sub-DPS who also replenishes bullets and can further reduce kinetic resistance with Twilight. You can use either builds for Marian in this team.
2) Shield Buddies: Fenny - Lionheart, Nita - Hands, Yao - Quiet Quitter/Marian - Swift
The idea of this team is to take advantage of the shields that Fenny gets from her M1 along with the shield from Nita’s support skill to do increase ballistic damage with healing support from Yao. This team is good against aggressive melee bosses like Cerberus with shields.
3) Kinetic Damage Main DPS: Fenny - Lionheart, Acacia - Kaguya, Fritia - Little Sunshine/Acacia - [Redacted]/Yao - Quiet Quitter
Lionheart is the main kinetic DPS, with Kaguya (Twilight) as sub-DPS and you can choose between Fritia (Twilight), Acacia(Navigator) or Yao(Moira) based on whether you want more damage from Fritia’s aptitude, healing support or a time slow.

Little Sunshine is a very good support for fire teams that can apply burning consistently due to her Deiwos Alignment buffing the entire squad’s damage to burning targets. Her standard skill is great for AOE clear and skill interrupts, so she plays her role for AOE mobbing pretty well. Her ultimate is the sickest ultimate in the game, it’s great for mobbing. Her aptitude is incredible for shotgun characters and multiple damage instance DPS like Ethereal Cloud.
Manifestations
Manifestations are not necessary if you’re using her as a support, but M3 is useful for aptitude-based teams.
Team Recommendations
1) Fire Damage Support: Yao - Winter Solstice, Fritia - Hush, Fritia - Little Sunshine
Little Sunshine’s Deiwos Alignment and Hush’s Iron Body support skill help increase Yao’s DPS and survivability. The synergy of this team is really good for thermal damage. Both Fritias can run Strawberry Shortcake & Twilight, but you can also run Xinye on Hush if you’re using her ultimate for DPS or just as a U-energy battery for Yao.
2) Aptitude Sub-DPS: Mauxir - Meow, Fritia - Little Sunshine, Fenny - Coronet/Chenxing - The Observer
This is a pretty interesting team combination. The idea is to use Fritia’s aptitude effect with Mauxir’s SMG on the extracted souls with increased rate of fire from Fenny’s support skill. You can also use Chenxing instead of Fenny if she’s M1 or above to take advantage of slayer aura. This is a pretty late game build, so keep that in mind.

Haru is designed to be an off-field sub-DPS or support considering her Deiwos Alignment, but her support skill is terrible for most bosses. Her kit is just strangely designed around having her M1 to use her ultimate for buffing other units, but the ultimate costs 80 U-energy at M0, which is just not worth it. She’s decent for mobbing and AOE sub-DPS, but otherwise pretty useless.
Manifestations
M1 is must if you’re using her, but M3 is a good stopping point. I don’t recommending farming her shards, unless you really really like her.
Team Recommendations
1) Kinetic Damage Support: Lyfe - Wild Hunt, Haru - The Ace, Marian - Swift
Marian is the main solo DPS of the team and Lyfe is the main AOE DPS. You use Haru’s ultimate for swords of oath, switch to Lyfe to clear mobs quickly with SMGs, then clear the tanky enemies with Marian. Haru also acts as a U-energy battery for Marian & Lyfe if you need to use their ultimates.

Wednesday is pretty much only good for mobbing as the active operator, but she’s actually great as a support because of her support skill that applies paralysis. She’s very good against mech bosses as an electrical support, but otherwise she’s quite limited in DPS by SMG due to ricochet and her ravens by not having enough damage scaling.
Manifestations
Manifestations are not necessary, but you get a lot of them for free by completing main story missions anyways.
Team Recommendations
1) Auxiliary Units DPS Squad: Chenxing - The Observer, Cherno - Those Two, Lyfe - Wednesday
As the name suggests, this is all about having all the auxiliary units active.

Queen of Pain is a very useful sniper DPS, especially in the early game, but she is overshadowed by the 5* snipers. Her standard skill is very underrated, it’s a great decoy, but with neuronics unlocks and M1 it also deals a lot of damage. Her support skill is very good for bursting down bosses like Beauvoir once their shields are down, while her ultimate helps bring shields down and also does great damage to enemies.
Manifestations
M1 is good enough.
Team Recommendations
1) Ballistic Marian Team: Marian - Swift, Marian - Queen of Pain, Acacia - Redacted
Destroy shield with Swift, then use Queen of Pain’s support skill as many times as possible.

Mauxir has a pretty complicated kit, but is an incredibly useful character in the late game. She could be SS tier, but she does require high investment in neuronics and logistics to be good. Due to how her avatar skills work, she ignores the typical ricochet issue that other SMG operatives face, which makes her the best SMG character for boss fights. She can also attack safely from anywhere with her standard skill and straight up execute enemies if they’re under a certain HP threshold. Her support skill is also excellent with neuronics unlocked as it does good damage to mobs when used with operatives with active AOE DPS skills that have crowd control effects like Acacia - Kaguya.
Note: She can use Mizuho, but Amano-Iwato is just better in every way since you lose the buff from Mizuho after reloading.
Manifestations
It’s recommended to have M2 for execution build and M3 for ballistic dmg build. Otherwise, she’s fine as a support without any manifestations.
Team Recommendations
1) Frost Team Main DPS: Mauxir - Meow, Acacia - Kaguya, Lyfe - Wild Hunt
This team is a super late game team since it needs high investment, but Mauxir is the main DPS with the other two as sub-DPS. Lyfe’s freeze support skills really helps Mauxir deal more damage. This team is very good against Titans, since you can keep spamming freeze.
2) Aptitude Main DPS: Mauxir - Meow, Fritia - Little Sunshine, Fenny - Coronet/Chenxing - The Observer
This is a pretty interesting team combination. The idea is to use Fritia’s aptitude effect with Mauxir’s SMG on the extracted souls with increased rate of fire from Fenny’s support skill. You can also use Chenxing instead of Fenny if she’s M1 or above to take advantage of slayer aura. This is a pretty late game build, so keep that in mind.
3) AOE CC Active Skill Support: Acacia - Kaguya/Fritia - Little Sunshine/Cherno - Those Two, Mauxir - Meow, Chenxing - The Observer
Since the standards skills of Kaguya, Little Sunshine and Cherno are AOE damage skills, they can hit both the hosts and avatars spawned by Mauxir’s support skill. Kaguya’s freeze also auto spawns avatars if you have Mauxir’s 4th theotropic cluster unlocked. Chenxing’s role in this team is to buff the damage of active skills with her slayer aura, assuming she’s M1 or above. Great team for underground purge.
4) Execution Squad: Mauxir - Meow, Acacia - Redacted, Acacia - Kaguya
Acacia helps regen U-energy with her Deiwos and Xinye, while Kaguya is useful for reducing frost resistance with Twilight. This is all about spamming execution to quickly clear stages with tanky elite mobs, useful for Underground Purge.

Nita is a tanky shield DPS who scales her shield based on ATK and it only last for 5 seconds. She uses a shotgun so she’s useful because of that, but there isn’t any content in the game where we need shields with iron body right now. She might become useful when we do need shields for certain bosses or stages. For now, she’s just decent for mobbing.
