Best Character Quick Reference
Best Attackers are Sereniel and Mei Lin
Sereniel and Mei Lin can both use many Attack Cards for a low Cost. They are easy-to-use Attackers with high enemy elimination power.
Nine Deals High Damage in Single Strike
Although Nine's Cost is high, they are a character that excels at dealing massive damage with a single Card. This gives them an advantage against bosses with mechanics that trigger based on the number of Attacks.
Veronica is an Excellent Supporter
Veronica is a character who provides excellent draw support. Since she can deal damage with her Ballista, she is also effective as a sub-Attacker.

In the rankings, we emphasize versatility and the ability to be effective in various party compositions. Additionally, characters who are less dependent on builds and can be effective from the early stages of Chaos are also highly rated.
