2. ✨ PvE Essential! Detailed Analysis of SS-Tier Arcanas
· These are the most powerful and versatile SS-tier Arcanas currently in PvE.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Charles - 'A Knight's Vow' | · Special Potential 'Mark of Speed': Speed +8 (Essential for all characters) · Increased convenience with stamina recovery travel events |
| Lacy - 'No Pain, No Gain' | · Special Potential 'Sharp Offensive': Attack & Crit Rate (Essential for attackers) · 'Max HP proportional' skills are also calculated as Attack-referenced damage + HP-referenced damage, making them efficient · Stamina recovery possible in all events |
| Petra - 'Made by Petra♡' | · Special Potential 'Mark of Insight': Crit Rate 18% (Very powerful) · Stamina decreases during travel events, but Strength/Stamina increases, allowing use even for characters without debuffs |
| Nal - 'Dreaming of Stars' | · Petra's alternative Arcana, Special Potential is the same · Only Focus increases, and has a condition recovery event · Obtainable via Battle Pass, good accessibility |
| Bunny Claire - 'Perfect Bunny Girl' | · Special Potential 'Sharp Growth': HP & Crit Rate · When used with Lacy and Petra, 30% Crit Rate can be secured (basic 3-set) · Consider exclusion if Crit Rate is sufficient with buffs, etc. |
| Bunny Frey - 'Indomitable Masterpiece' | · Special Potential 'Sturdy Destruction': Crit Damage & HP · Has stamina recovery event · Powerful when Crit Rate is 60% or higher; efficiency may decrease if lower |
02:20 - 04:22
3. 🌟 S-Tier Arcanas with High Utility by Class
· These S-tier Arcanas show efficiency comparable to SS-tier in specific classes or situations.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Lynn - 'Greeting the Glass Moon Above the Pavilion' | · Special Potential 'Mark of Attack': Attack increase (Excellent versatility) · Formerly one of the universal 5-sets, but its priority has decreased as stamina recovery became more important than protection in hard difficulty. |
| Muriel - 'Heaven's Judgment' | · Caster exclusive, Special Potential 'Target Alignment Magic Circle': Max Crit Damage increased by 30% (Powerful) · Maximizes the firepower of casters whose Crit Rate/Crit Damage increases with Resonance · Can be replaced by Bunny Frey as an upgrade after turn 1 |
| Kira - 'As Cute as Kira!' | · Assassin exclusive, Special Potential 'Sharp Growth': Speed increases every turn (Max +30) · Can make even the slowest 90-speed Assassins the fastest · Only causes a 1-turn delay in PvE, but can be critical in PvP · Beware of stamina decrease in all events |
| Emily - 'Quiet Rest Time' | · Defender exclusive, Special Potential 'Nova Force Charge': Automatic Nova Force charge · When Emily and Ede are manually controlled, Nova Burst can be used freely, greatly increasing durability (inefficient if Nova Burst is not used in auto-mode) |
| Frey - 'Princess Ascends to the Throne' | · Supporter exclusive, Special Potential 'Mark of Healing': Healing amount increased · Needed to compensate for insufficient healing when using a healer |
| Bella - 'More Professional Than Anyone' | · Frey's alternative Arcana · Slightly lower stat increase, and stamina decreases in Event 3 |
| Dress Asella - 'Lady of the Stranis Family' | · Special Potential 'Mark of Life': HP increase (Useful for Defenders/Supporters) · 'Talent of Speed': Additional Speed +3 (Very useful as there's room besides Special Potential in hard travel) |
04:23 - 05:15
4. 💡 A-Tier Arcanas Useful in Specific Situations
· These A-tier Arcanas have value in specific characters or limited situations.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Omega - 'Pioneer of Illusions' | · Stack trigger activates only after 2 uses of special skills, making it not essential · Omega itself has low utility outside of the 'Khan' boss encounter · Travel events are excellent, so it can be considered for empty slots |
| Bunny Scarlet - 'Bold and Wonderful Bunny Girl' | · Only used to increase the success rate of Bunny Scarlet's ultimate speed debuff |
| Elisa - 'Trial of the Sky' | · The only special potential that increases Defense (includes unnecessary Effect Resistance) · Can be used by Defenders/Supporters in general, but essential only for Ede, who has high Defense dependency |
| Tanya - 'Frying Master' | · Tanya exclusive, Special Skill Gauge increase 30% → 50% · Consider when prioritizing the cooldown of Crit Rate buffs |
05:16 - 07:00
5. 📉 B-Tier Arcana Evaluation: Low Utility
· These B-tier Arcanas have low utility in the current meta or are used only in limited situations.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Dana - 'A Walk with a Friend' | · Special Potential 'Emergency Spellcasting': Crit Rate +30% for 2 turns after battle starts · An effect specialized for PvP, where a Crit Rate increase only for the first 2 turns in PvE has little meaning. |
| Harley - 'Born to Be Wild' | · Special Potential 'Second Heart': Tenacity increase (Equippable by all characters) · Possible use for Ede's Defense increase or to fill empty slots |
| Anna - 'Undercover Cop' | · Harley's alternative Arcana · There are almost no cases where Tenacity increase is needed in PvE · Even in PvP, its adoption rate is low except for preventing wall characters from being easily broken by Tanya |
| Vesta - 'Satisfying Meal' | · Defender exclusive, Special Potential 'Tenacity +2' · Events allow choosing between stamina recovery or stamina decrease + stat increase · Consider when wanting to increase Tenacity over Defense, but the need for Tenacity itself is low |
| Ceres - 'Unseen Place' | · Special Potential 'First Aid': Recovers only on own turn when HP is below 25% · Restriction of needing to survive until it's their turn · Healing amount is minimal, and it's questionable if characters equipping this Arcana need Focus · Needs rebalancing |
| Carmen - 'Night View Beyond the Glass' | · Carmen exclusive Unique Potential: Adds Counterattack ability · Carmen has no reason to be used in PvE as Taunt doesn't work on bosses · Receives a low evaluation due to this |
07:01 - 07:47
6. 🗑️ Effectively C-Tier! Not Recommended Arcanas
· These Arcanas have almost no utility currently and are difficult to recommend.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Bell - 'Deep Mourning' | · Crit Rate only increases upon basic attacks, with the restriction of being Ranger exclusive · Focus events are unnecessary for Rangers, who are debuff attackers (only increases Effect Hit by 4% per 100 Focus) |
| Lily - 'The Truth is Always One!' | · Caster exclusive, deals 10% increased damage for 3 turns when HP is below 50% · Casters have fierce slot competition with universal 5-sets + Caster-exclusive Muriel, making it difficult to adopt such conditional Arcanas |
| Bunny Charles - 'How to Satisfy Clumsy Desires' | · Arcana with no utility · Conditions are too strict for the effect amount (Assassin exclusive or basic attack only as a condition would have been sufficient) |
07:48 - 08:07
