High Damage Is Our Top Priority
Mongil: STAR DIVE features a lot of content with strict time limits. Especially in Boss Battles (like those found in the Main Quest and Conquest modes), a lack of damage can easily lead to mission failure. Because of this, high damage output is our most heavily weighted criteria.
Performance in High-Difficulty Stages
Suitability for endgame content is also a major evaluation factor. We highly rate characters who can perform consistently in the later stages of Conquest. For example, Gabi is rated well because she can counter enemy special attacks with unique gimmicks, and Ellie is top-tier because she can build the enemy's Staggered Gauge even while in an Off-Field State.
Versatility and Team Synergy
In Mongil: STAR DIVE, you form teams of 3 characters, so the division of roles within the squad is essential. Support characters who can perform well in almost any team composition receive very high ratings because of their account-wide value.
Synergy with High-Tier Units
Standard gameplay in Mongil: STAR DIVE involves backing up a Warrior/Assassin with two Supporters or Destroyers, as one cannot shine without the other. Therefore, characters with high compatibility across the board receive higher evaluations.
