Bkornblume
- Buffs the team’s Reality damage
- Reliable secondary DPS unit in any team (flexible) with the ability to deal high AoE and single-target damages with her current kit
- Able to control enemies with her ultimate inflicting [Seal
- Centurion’s best friend
Charlie
- Dishes out single target damages consistently albeit with a small requirement price tied to her HP% for extra damage
- With Portray lvl.3 and lvl.5, her damages can challenge 6-star main carries easily
- Can dispel enemy’s buff with her ultimate. With the right timing, this can increase team’s survivability
- Has an innate self-buff skill with her passive (Insight lvl.3)
Baby Blue
- A good supportive character behind a Mental DMG main carry
- If you got Eternity in the beginner’s banner, this character fits well with her
- Applies AoE DMG debuff to enemies
- Applies AoE DMG Taken debuff to enemies
- One of the few characters to inflict [Nightmare] to enemy
Balloon Party
- Can provide AoE healing to team members while setting up [Counter] for herself
- Protects her allies with her ultimate (DMG Taken -25%)
- Doesn’t need high investment for her to be useful
- A major upgrade from APPLe to take the healer/support role in the team
Dikke
- A healer that also has self-cleansing utility
- Ultimate provides AoE healing for the team and casts extra healing when allies are below 50% HP
- Can reliably dish out damage before the main carry seals the kill
- Very flexible to be included in any type of team
Necrologist
- Buffs the team with 1-stack of [Prayer] that makes them avoid fatal damage with her ultimate (lasts 3 rounds)
- Useful dispel skill (single target) in boss fights
- Can be a useful ‘substitute’ character in the team with her passive skill [Insight lvl.1] entering a battle without the worry of being immediately dispatched
Sonetto
- The best free character given early in the game
- AoE buff and deals extra damage with her own buff active
- Decent AoE damage with her ultimate
- Dispels the enemy’s attack
- Very flexible and can’t go wrong dumping resources into her from the beginning of gameplay
Matilda
- Free main carry DPS character given to everyone via in-game mail
- Can inflict [Confusion] which is important in Critical Themed teams
- Flexible in being a main carry or a secondary DPS unit behind a main carry that depends on her [Confusion] kit
- When reaching Insight lvl.3, becomes somewhat bulkier and less of a glass cannon compared to other low HP main carries
Tennant
- Decent in Reality DMG teams
- Can be a great supporting unit behind Charlie who depends on HP% requirements to deal more damage
- [Shield] application is reliable and consistent
- Helps the team’s survivability when needed
- Like Necrologist, slotting Tennant in the 4th position is good and can help do ‘damage control’ in situations that’s not looking nice for the team
X
- Ultimate deals -2 Moxie to all enemies in addition to his AoE attack
- Reliable dispel skills in niche situation
- Bring him to battles against enemies that does self-buffs and see him shine in those situations
Takeaway
If you failed to get good 6-star characters in your pulls, don't fret and focus on what you have. The 5-star characters listed above are decent enough to support each other and any 6-star character you got from the beginner's banner. It's all about building your team (as mentioned in our previous guide) and making the best of each character's skill set.
Need a decent main carry? You've got Matilda. She's free and good for all content.
Want to build a flexible supporting unit for all kinds of teams? Dikke is your best bet. Eventually, everyone will have her to join their crew.
Who to build for a secondary DPS unit? Go for Sonetto, who is available for everyone.
Matilda, Dikke, and Sonetto is already a good team to begin with, before you do more future pulls and get those 6-star characters to join your crew.
Thanks for reading this guide. See you in the next one!
