Athena
SS · Tank, Earth
A tank with shields, 30% damage reduction for the team, and a heal block for enemies. Athena protects and disrupts in the same slot.

A · Debuff, Wind

Ishtar
A · Debuff, Earth
Ishtar resets her cooldown and scales well with investment. She is a solid damage option without a narrow team requirement.
Luna
A · Debuff, Water
Luna applies Poison and offensive debuffs. She has a better chance to land them on enemies who are already poisoned.
Nezha
A · Debuff, Fire
Nezha is the detonator of the Burn team. She gains strong stats against burned enemies and has guaranteed crit on her main damage.
