Tier List

*This list takes into account base resonance level. Also, this is currently in no particular order.

Tier List Explanation

• S Tier: These resonators are currently the best in their perspective roles, and or provide game changing effects that will help you have an easier time, such as shielding or enemy grouping.
• A Tier: These are very good characters who are only slightly outclassed by those in S tier
• B Tier: These are good characters, but have something lacking, be it mobility or skills, that prevent them from being in A or S tier.

Taoqi

• Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Element: Havoc
• Role: Support
• Weapon: Broadblade

Taoqi is currently the only character that can provide shields, making her a fantastic pick for damage mitigation. Also, her parry timing on her heavy attack is very forgiving, making her relatively easy to play, as well. She scales with Defense, making her a natural tank, as well.

Jianxin

• Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Element: Aero
• Role: Parry
• Weapon: Gauntlets

Jianxin, with her Resonance Liberation, has the ability to group up enemies, making it so that your DPS character has a much easier time clearing out rooms. This will come in handy for time attack challenges, as well as general crowd control. Think of Venti in Genshin Impact at launch and how top tier he was.

---

Sanhua

• Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Element: Glacio
• Role: DPS
• Weapon: Sword

While she deals decent ice burst damage, Sanhua main source of damage comes from charging her hit, but this makes her very vulnerable, since if you dodge out of the attack, her attack gets reset, thus minimizing her overall DPS by a lot as unless she is shielded, you will want to be constantly dodging out of enemy attacks. So her attack speed limits her ability here.

Update / Change Log

Updates / changes to the tier list will go here, as well as brief explanations. Usually as gacha games get older and get more updates, power-creep is introduced, causing characters to move down the list in order to make new characters more appealing, so expect the same here.
