Awakened Yuna Springfield
GlobalPVPSSS SSASY release and A. Mina still running rampart caused A. Yuna stock to fall a bit.
Ifrit
GlobalPVPSS SSSIfrit is being abused even on ban and his damage output is simply broken.
Xiao Lin
GlobalPVPSS SSnipers are having issues surviving recently with Kang and Lily killing them on sight.
Replacer Bishop
GlobalPVPS AHer impact on the Global meta was smaller than we expected.
Naielle Bluesteel
GlobalPVPS AHer Albion comp is losing popularity with every week.
Maria Antonov
GlobalPVPA BSadly she doesn't really have as much impact as before.
Joo Shiyoung
GlobalPVPA BShe's just being used when upped in the recent weeks.

Naielle Bluesteel
GlobalPVPA SNaielle was initially underrated because we questioned the viability of teams containing her and Albion over other defenders with Albion. With more players seeing success, we decided to uptier her.
Frederick Doma
GlobalPVPB ADoma is a good DPS/utility hybrid that's basically a weaker Gaeun.
Administration Shieldman
GlobalPVPA SWhen Harab is banned, the Shieldman is actually a decent pick.
Tommy the Die-hard
GlobalPVPD CTommy is still useless, but not as useless as we initially thought.
Yen Xing Lanchester
GlobalPVPS SSGlobal regions seems to use YXL as a damage dealer rather than a bulky Striker and this approach seems to work well.
Awakened Na Yubin
GlobalPVPSSS SSA. Yubin has issues staying alive against strong damage dealers like Ifrit and he isn't as good as before the murder-tank release.

Awakened Yoo Mina
GlobalPVPSS SSSMina is a different beast on Global compared to other servers. While Global is missing a lot of her counters, some are already available and yet, she's nearly unstoppable.

Evolved One
SEAPVPSSS SSAwakened Jake release finally managed to bring Evolved One from her untouched state. She's still strong, but at least now there's a proper counter to her.
Ministra
SEAPVPSS SThe more stronger awakened employees get released, the harder it is to use her.
Ifrit
SEAPVPSS SAwakened Jake release made using Ifrit harder - now you have to try to avoid not only Na Yubin but also Jake.
Replacer Queen
SEAPVPS AShe just dies too easily.
Mika ★ Star
SEAPVPA BOur initial increase of her ratings after Gremory release was overkill. She's just niche.

Awakened Seo Yoon
SEADanger CloseS AWhile she is still good for those who lack better damage dealers, her cost and the time she needs to ramp up the damage is too long.

Kestrel Xiao Lin
AllShadow PalaceSS SSSHer DPS is so absurd that it's hard to find a reason to not use her aside from Sniper bans.
Kestrel Xiao Lin
AllDanger CloseSS SSSWhile initially she was thought to only be good for Striker bosses, it was found her DPS is so great that she becomes best-in-slot for most of the other bosses as well.
Kestrel Xiao Lin
AllStoryS SSSHer DPS is so absurd that it's hard to find a reason to not use her aside from not having her.

Seo Yoon
AllRaidsSS SSSA raid staple. Not only does she make the team on steroids for her atk buff duration - her def debuff has really good uptime as well.
Seo Yoon
AllShadow PalaceB SVery good for teams that need a last push on the ship before a shadow respawns or the ship pulls out something annoying.
Claudia Nelson
AllRaidsS AYou really don't need more than 2-3 healers for raids, so you could just pick the healers that buff in addition to healing.
Claudia Nelson
AllDanger CloseA BWhile the DC rework made healers more commonplace, other healers could boost damage while healing. This makes Claudia an inferior pick.
Assault Trooper
AllDanger CloseA SCheap DPS units are getting in favor, especially for Defender bosses where Assault Trooper shines at.
Assault Trooper
AllRelic DungeonD SGood for backdoor strat on armor relic.
Alex
AllDanger CloseB AUsed for Bishop to detect stealth + remove buff from the clone.
Alex
AllDanger CloseS AThere are better strikers - like Chifuyu. And it's hard to not have Chifuyu.
Maestra Nequitia
KRPVPB SAfter the buff, she became quite good, though not enough to be meta and you also need to build a team around her to make her work.

Choi Ina
SEADive 50C ADecent support for immortal comps, since she just stays at the back, buffing atk and haste.
Gaeun
SEADive 50SS ARange not long enough for immortal comps, and damage still middling for tank comps. Her stun doesn't work on mechs, either.
Karin Wong
SEADive 50S SSDoes the same thing as Lyudmila with similar DPS. Adjusting ratings to match.
Kestrel Xiao Lin
SEADive 50SS SSSStrongest DPS among snipers and can stun periodically. While she can't hit air, she should be paired with one Karin, Lyudmila, or Queen who can take care of the Woodpeckers alone.
Lyudmila
SEACoop RaidC BShe's quite good pick for raid level 1-7, but unusable later because she dies instantly.
Lyudmila
SEADive 50SSS SSFulfills the same role as Karin with similar DPS. Adjusting ratings to match.
Machine Collector
SEADive 50A BHer debuffs don't work here as with most PVE, so she's just a stun bot. Also can only do it once for immortal comp since her range is short.
Replacer Queen
SEADive 50SS SSSAmong snipers, she's the only one that gives a debuff, boosting the whole team's damage. She also deals with Woodpeckers, and her ult can even destroy those pesky recoiless gunners in Dive 48.
Sky Layfield
SEADive 50S ARange too short for immortal comp, and team space is very tight for tank comp.

Administration Shieldman
SEARaidB AHe's a cheap tank that serves his purpose well enough in Raids.
Agent Eujin
SEADanger CloseB CFor the same cost there are many other better DPS units for any DC boss.
Arti Lana
SEADanger CloseB ABuffs allies' damage vs the replacer DC bosses for only 2 cost.
Awakened Joo Shiyoon
SEARaidS SSSConstantly alleviates pressure from the team due to his counters cancelling a bunch of the boss' attacks. Also does pretty good damage.
Awakened Joo Shiyoon
SEACoop RaidS SSSConstantly alleviates pressure from the team due to his counters cancelling a bunch of the boss' attacks. Also does pretty good damage.
Awakened Lee Sooyeon
SEARaidS ANot much DPS for a 5-cost, and her buffs to rangers aren't necessary.
Choi Ina
SEARaidA SNew raids are encouraging a slow start, making a snowball unit like Choi Ina good to start with along with Sigma.
Dracasia
SEADanger CloseB CShe's just another striker without any meaningful contribution other than tanking.
Eddie Fisher
SEARaidS AThere are many other buffers that buff much more than measly 10% atk.
Eddie Fisher
SEACoop RaidS BThere are many other buffers that buff much more than measly 10% atk.
Edel Meitner
SEARaidA BNo summons if there are no enemies to kill, and despite her massive bonus to CO, her DPS on CO raids still isn't great.
Edel Meitner
SEACoop RaidA BNo summons if there are no enemies to kill, and despite her massive bonus to CO, her DPS on CO raids still isn't great.
Gaeun
SEARaidS AHer raid DPS is very far from the others in her tier such as Sobin and Xiao Lin.
Horizon
SEAPVPSS SComparing to the KR server when she dominated after being released, here's she a bit weaker vs most composition and only shines when paired with A. Horizon.
Ironside
SEADanger CloseB CThere's currently no good mech tanks for DC that could use his healing. His buff also only applies to mechs.
Ironside
SEARaidA CCommon frontliners for raids aren't mechs, and most of the DPS isn't coming from mechs either.
Ironside
SEACoop RaidA CCommon frontliners for raids aren't mechs, and most of the DPS isn't coming from mechs either.
Jane Doe
SEADanger CloseA BShe already had problems surviving pre-DC rework - now bosses do even more damage depending on the player's debuff choices. Her cost is also a problem.
Jane Doe
SEARaidA BGood DPS, but for the same cost there are many other units you can slot in. Also she struggles to survive in higher level coop.
Jane Doe
SEACoop RaidA BGood DPS, but for the same cost there are many other units you can slot in. Also she struggles to survive in higher level coop.
Janus
SEARaidA BReally disappointing DPS for 4 cost. Defender mode useless as well.
Karin Wong
SEADanger CloseB ACore unit for Tyrant Sword now that there's bonus points for taking the awakened unit debuff.
Karin Wong
SEARaidC AHer DPS is actually quite strong, only problem is if you can slot her.
Kyle Wong
SEADanger CloseA BHis walls are only really useful for no tank Moderator strats; there are better choices for other bosses if you want a quick distraction.
Kyle Wong
SEARaidA BHis DPS is middling and his walls basically do nothing.
Lee Jisoo
SEADanger CloseB CDC bosses don't heal and some are even immune to ASPD reduction, and don't often have strippable buffs. Pick a better tank, they usually even cost less.
Lee Sooyeon
SEADanger CloseB CShe's just another striker without any meaningful contribution other than tanking.
Lucrecia
SEARaidA SSHer defense debuff has a pretty good uptime with an above average value, she can make the frontline ignore some normally instakilling mechanics, and she does decent damage all for just 3 cost.
Lyudmila
SEARaidB AHer DPS is actually quite strong, only problem is if you can slot her.
Machine Collector
SEAPVPS SSWith A.Horizon release her stock rose as she can help dealing with her.
Ministra
SEADanger CloseS AHer debuffs aren't enough for her cost, and other damage dealers can perform better.
Ministra
SEARaidS AShe doesn't do that much DPS for her cost, and the boss is immune to 2 of her 3 debuffs.
Ministra
SEACoop RaidS AShe doesn't do that much DPS for her cost, and the boss is immune to 2 of her 3 debuffs.
Na Yubin
SEADanger CloseS BFor some reason KR hyper him up when his damage isn't top tier. His buffs are also middling.
Nest Keeper Xiao Lin
SEADanger CloseB AGreat unit for Knight since she can't get knocked back, does tons of damage, and has decent survivability.
