Evaluation Criteria for Best Characters

Three Weapon Type Evaluation is Important Overall

We place importance on the overall evaluation of the three weapon types that can be equipped on a character. We evaluate them by comprehensively considering their abilities, such as their damage output and support capabilities with each weapon.

Attackers are Rated for Their Damage Output

In 7DS: Origin, the basic combat style is to fight while using actions to dodge enemy attacks. The higher the damage output, the faster battles end, which leads to more consistent clears. Therefore, we rate Attackers based on how easily they can deal serious damage.

Supporters are Rated Based on Their Buffs

Supporters are evaluated based on the number and strength of their buffs. Even among characters with similar buffs, those with higher numerical values get a higher rating.

Combos and Difficulty for Damage are Also Considered

We also take into consideration the combos and execution difficulty required to deal damage. Characters that require fewer combos to deal damage or are easier to use are rated more highly.
