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.

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.
