Tier S
Ajax
Ajax is the go-to frontline: he stabilizes runs by preventing wipes, controlling space with forcefields, and scaling into absurd durability when built correctly.
Bunny
Bunny is the premier speed-farming Descendant: she converts movement into lethal electric uptime, clearing dense zones faster than nearly any alternative when built for range, cooldown, and MP sustain.
Gley
Gley delivers some of the highest sustained boss damage in the game when piloted correctly. She sacrifices safety and comfort to push relentless damage uptime through HP-based mechanics.
Serena
Serena's power is uptime. If you keep flying and keep firing, she scales brutally. The build is about cooldown control, survivability, and weapon synergy—not ground AoE farming.
Valby
Valby is a top-tier all-rounder: exceptional AoE for farming and legitimately strong boss damage when you stack and maintain her water zones correctly.
Viessa
Viessa is a skill-first Descendant that clears packs by locking enemies into your AoE envelope, then converts uptime into damage through high-frequency casts and well-placed Blizzard windows.
Yujin
Yujin is the premier healer in The First Descendant. He trades personal damage for unmatched sustain, turning difficult encounters into stable, repeatable clears when built correctly.
Tier A
Blair
Blair rewards deliberate placement and timing. When enemies stay in his fire fields, damage ramps quickly; when they don't, his output drops sharply.
Enzo
Enzo turns ammo scarcity into a non-issue. When played correctly, he dramatically increases team damage uptime and reduces downtime in long encounters.
Esiemo
Esiemo rewards planning. When enemies enter prepared zones, he delivers some of the fastest pack clears in the game; when they don't, his damage falls off sharply.
Freyna
Freyna excels in attrition warfare. She applies persistent poison effects, controls enemy movement, and lets damage accumulate over time rather than relying on burst windows.
Hailey
Hailey thrives when she can maintain distance, line of sight, and consistent pressure. She trades AoE dominance for dependable, repeatable damage output.
Ines
Ines operates as a stabilizer. She weakens and disrupts enemies while contributing reliable DPS, making fights more manageable rather than ending them instantly.
Jayber
Jayber trades mobility for infrastructure. When allowed to set up, his turrets provide reliable DPS, area control, and team value that compounds over time.
Kyle
Kyle sits between pure tank and DPS. He excels when holding space, absorbing pressure, and steadily deleting enemies while staying difficult to remove.
Lepic
Lepic performs best when you play around cooldown windows: dump burst, reposition, and repeat. He is not a constant-uptime farmer like Bunny, but he spikes hard when played correctly.
Luna
Luna multiplies team effectiveness by making enemies easier to kill. Her value comes from consistent debuff uptime and battlefield control, not damage numbers.
Sharen
Sharen thrives on precision. When burst windows are executed cleanly from stealth, she removes threats faster than most Descendants; when fights drag on, her value drops.
