Clear role players

When to use her
Use her to open a target for the rest of the team, especially against healers.
How to build her
Role-level guidance, not datamined multipliers. The role decides what she needs before any single character quirk does.
Building a DPS
Stack Attack and Crit. Her damage comes from multipliers and follow-ups, so crit consistency beats raw bulk.
Deals direct damage through crits, follow-ups, or single-target pressure.
What to build first
Crit first. Her multipliers and follow-ups only pay off on a crit.
Based on the tags above and on her role. This site does not datamine skill multipliers, so read this as a priority order, not a skill tree. · Follow-up

SSS · Tank, Radiant Star
The strongest tank in the global build. Amaterasu heals herself, revives once, and turns Charm into crowd control plus a damage cut for the whole team.
Medusa
SSS · Support, Radiant Star
The best healer in the game. Medusa revives each ally after their first defeat, keeps the team topped up, and adds 30% damage reduction.
Aether
SS · Support, Radiant Star
A healer who also deals damage. Aether gives 25% attack to your two highest-attack allies and cuts energy damage by 40%.
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.
Who to use instead

Chiyou
S · DPS, Radiant Star
Chiyou applies Heal Block and builds Domination stacks that raise her damage against the same target. She is built to kill healers.
Genbu
S · DPS, Earth
Genbu gets better as the fight goes on. At full stacks she has 60% crit damage and a 60% damage bonus, and she specializes in killing tanks and healers.
Heimdall
S · DPS, Fire
Heimdall hits one target hard and removes enemy buffs. The dispel gives her a job beyond raw damage.
Hypnos
S · DPS, Radiant Star
A straightforward damage dealer whose first skill penetrates defense. Hypnos does not need a special team to work.
