just use them

Simply put, the strongest units in the game. They provide an upgrade to your team regardless of content and clearly have stronger kits compared to the other meta characters.

Crown

Helm (Treasure)

Little Mermaid

Moran (Treasure)

Nayuta

Privaty (Treasure)

Rapi: Red Hood

Snow White: Heavy Arms

strong and flexible meta

You will see these units on most PVE content available in the game. Raids, campaign, towers... TL;DR: Versatile and strong waifus you should build.

Ade: Agent Bunny

Alice

Anchor: Innocent Maid

Asuka Shikinami Langley: Wille

Chisato Nishikigi

Cinderella

D: Killer Wife

Dorothy: Serendipity

Grave

Liberalio

Liter

Mast: Romantic Maid

Mihara: Bonding Chain

Raven

Rouge

Scarlet: Black Shadow

Vesti: Tactical Upgrade

very good units but not as flexible as the tier above

Similar to T1 characters, the girls here are pretty strong, but usually have a limitation, be it because their kit or because they are "only" good on specific elements / situations.

good but somewhat niche or less efficient

Characters transitioning outside the meta are here (or going up). Mostly used on solo/union raids and specific team compositions, but usually not that great for campaign or towers.

underwhelming / niche usage

Sadly, the waifus here are just filler characters. They ARE still usable depending on the element / situation, but unless they are your waifus there are better options.

shift up what is this

Useless (or super niche) characters in most PVE situations. Sadly Shift Up is not really good at balancing their game, and it shows with the amount of characters that have no usage anywhere.
