Why she ranks here
Icarus is a defensive unit with damage skills, and neither side of that mix is strong.
Tank, Wind
C tier in practice
Low priority
Weak numbers or no clear job. Invest only while the roster is thin.
When to use her
Do not build her. Use a dedicated tank or damage dealer instead.
How to build her
Role-level guidance, not datamined multipliers. The role decides what she needs before any single character quirk does.
Building a Tank
Stack HP and damage reduction. She survives the opening burst so the damage slots have time to ramp.
Holds the frontline with shields, damage reduction, or damage redirection.
What to build first
Area first. She exists to clear waves, so range matters more than single-target damage.
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. · AOE damage
Phase matchup

Partners her role needs
The strongest characters in the roles her job depends on.
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%.
Hera
S · Support, Water
Hera heals and purifies, then adds a wide mix of buffs and debuffs. She is a utility healer rather than a pure healing number.
Seraph
S · Support, Fire
The healer for a Burn team. Seraph keeps the lineup alive, applies debuffs, and gives 25% attack to two allies.
Who to use instead
The closest swaps in the same role, within one tier step.
Daji
C · Tank, Fire
Daji mixes Burn and shields without doing either job well. Stronger Preservation units leave her without a clear role.
Tsukimi
C · Tank, Earth
Tsukimi has a defense buff and physical damage reduction, but her overall tanking is weak.
Leviathan
B · Tank, Wind
Leviathan shields the team and reduces damage over time, but her shield scaling is low.
Nut
B · Tank, Water
Nut is a Poison-oriented defender with speed disruption, but her sustain is mediocre.
