B Tier
| Unit | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
| 23rd Magic Emperor | + Changes elements during every attack to gain a potential advantage against all enemies. + His elemental shifts also change the specific status effects he applies to targets. + Uses area of effect attacks that provide decent damage for a mid tier unit. – Has very few team synergies because his element changes at the start of rounds. |
| Greed (Fox) | + Very friendly unit for beginners who are trying to clear content in Story mode. + Automatically executes any enemy with health that falls below the twenty-five percent mark. + Possesses specialized defensive abilities that allow him to act as a secondary tank. – Fails to be the best in either role because his damage and tanking are mid. |
| Pride (Sun) | + Acts as a very strong hybrid unit that provides both high damage and tanking. + Offers the best performance for your team when he is used as a tank. + Can utilize multiple relics like the Demon Ring and Katana for different build paths. – Becomes highly situational as a damage dealer because his passive abilities fluctuate during battle. |
| Battle Maniac | + Holds the title of quickest unit and has a passive to always attack first. + Delivers decent damage performance when fully maxed out with the proper relics and traits. + Works well for players who need a unit that can strike before the enemy. – Combat performance starts to fall off when fighting against stronger enemies in longer battles. |
| Acu | + Serves as a very good unit for players during early and middle game progression. + Has enough potential damage to one-hit clear stages in the early game Story mode. + Inflicts a burn effect with every single attack that deals fifty percent extra damage. – Does not perform well in other modes and struggles as the game difficulty spikes. |
| Wrath (Fury) | + Functions as one of the few units that can counter enemies after taking damage. + Has a thirty-five percent chance to return one hundred fifty percent damage to attackers. + Deals fifty percent more damage whenever his health falls below the forty percent mark. – The powerful counterattack passive is reliant on RNG and only has a thirty-five percent chance. |
| Raven (Red) | + Performs exceptionally well as an excellent tank unit across every single game mode available. + Features a twenty-five percent chance to avoid all damage and launch a counterattack. + Automatically makes the next incoming attack miss every time that he gets hit once. – The powerful defensive avoidance and counterattack ability is reliant on a low success rate. |
| Black Bull | + Provides an equally strong tanking option for players who cannot obtain the Raven unit. + Survives with one health and gains immunity for a turn when he is defeated. + Uses a leader passive to increase the critical hit chance for many specific units. – Only gains his immunity effect once he has already been defeated in the battle. |
| Titan | + Acts as a decent tank to use until you can get Raven or Bull. + Offers strong defensive utility by reducing all incoming damage by sixty percent at once. + Works well for players who need a reliable defensive unit for their team compositions. – Does not add much value to the team when it comes to dealing damage. |
| Ruki | + Legendary tank that can carry players through the early and middle story mode stages. + Reduces all incoming damage by thirty percent to help keep the team alive longer. + Shows excellent combat performance when he is paired with the unit known as Acu. – Performance starts to fall off significantly when used in game modes other than Story. |
| Vogita | + Serves as a very good early game tank that players can obtain quite easily. + Reduces incoming damage by twenty percent to protect the team during early game battles. + Provides a decent overall boost to your total combat power during the early stages. – Only provides a twenty percent damage reduction which is lower than other meta tanks. |
C Tier
| Unit | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
| Anti Hero | + Acts as a decent sub damage dealer for players during the early game stages. + Has a random chance to attack again every time that he hits an enemy. – Possesses very poor scaling which makes him essentially useless after the early game levels. – Performance drops off significantly once the overall difficulty of the game begins to spike. |
| Bald | + Receives a twenty-five percent damage buff when fighting alongside the Devil Cyborg unit. + Deals two hundred fifty percent more damage during every third attack in the battle. – Better options for main and sub damage dealers are available for players to use. – Fails to maintain high damage output when compared to the units in higher tiers. |
| Super Roku | + Deals seventy percent more damage to any enemies that have more than half health. + Helps players chip away at the health of strong enemies and powerful world bosses. – Many other units are available that provide much higher damage and better overall survivability. – Does not offer enough utility to justify a spot on late game team formations. |
| Agony | + Reflects twenty-five percent of all incoming damage back to any enemies standing nearby. + Can be utilized in multiple roles as either a sub damage dealer or tank. – Struggles to perform effectively in either role when fighting against much stronger game enemies. – Does not provide enough defensive or offensive value for high level game content. |
| Youji | + Has a chance to land a critical Black Flash hit during every single attack. + Offers massive damage potential if he can successfully trigger a long Black Flash chain. – Does not offer much utility to the team if the Black Flash chain fails. – Total damage output remains very weak unless the lucky Black Flash effect kicks in. |
| Sosuke | + Performs well against bosses by doubling his damage when attacking the same target twice. + Useful in Story mode where players frequently encounter enemies with high amounts of health. – Base damage is very weak compared to other available units in the game roster. – The doubling passive rarely triggers during content outside of the standard Story mode stages. |
| Jolios (King) | + Delivers very high damage output that is equal to the meta damage dealer units. + Rewinds time to revive himself immediately after he has been defeated for the first time. – Relies on having multiple King type allies to make his leader passive skill effective. – Primarily acts as a support unit despite having damage that rivals top tier attackers. |
| Yono (Star) | + Gains a massive one hundred percent damage boost when boss health falls below half. + Consumes stars to heal the ally that currently has the lowest amount of health. – Is a specialized unit that performs best in the specific Slime Event game mode. – Passive healing requires multiple turns to set up stars before it can be triggered. |
| Destruction | + Increases the total damage of every Dark element unit by thirty percent during battle. + Works very well when used in Raids, Towers, and against powerful hidden Secret Bosses. – Performance is mostly limited to early and middle game content for most player teams. – Utility is highly specialized for Dark element teams which limits his overall team flexibility. |
| Gojin | + Doubles every damage over time effect for units that use poison or burn skills. + Provides very consistent performance for the team across every available mode in the game. – Offers very little value to teams that do not use damage over time skills. – Damage output is lower than other support units who can also act as attackers. |
| Tatsumaki | + Increases the damage of every Nature element unit on the team by thirty percent. + Forms an extremely powerful team when paired with Ultimate Warrior and the Yono unit. – Is slightly difficult for players to obtain because she is found in Heroic City. – Passive buff only applies to Nature units which restricts her use in other teams. |
| Wandering Mage | + Successfully removes all negative status effects and debuffs from two of your team allies. + Provides defensive buffs to allies with the highest health if no debuffs are present. – Does not provide high damage output when compared to other meta support unit choices. – The useful damage reduction passive only has a twenty percent chance to actually trigger. |
