Yixuan

Rarity	Attribute	Speciality	Faction
S-Rank	Auric Ink	Rupture	Strike

Yixuan’s core mechanics consist of Sheer Force Damage + High Mobility, and she is designed to excel in both single-target and AoE damage scenarios.
Yixuan debuts as the first Rapture Agent in ZZZ”. Her combat style is similar to that of Attack-type characters — prioritizing CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. Her standout feature is Sheer Force Damage, a unique mechanism that can ignore enemies’ defenses, making her particularly powerful when facing tanky foes.
With high mobility, flight capabilities, and a dual-Ultimate skill system, she is good at flexibly fighting on changeable battlefields. Additionally, as her damage scales with HP, she pairs extremely well with support characters that can both enhance survivability and offensive potential.
For most Proxies, Yixuan is absolutely worth pulling. She is so powerful that she can easily carry you through the content. Moreover, as the first Rapture - attribute main DPS, she brings a unique playstyle. If resources allow, it is definitely fun and worthwhile to try out different types of main DPS.

S-Rank	Frost	Anomaly	Section 6

Miyabi is an S-rank character of the Anomaly Specialty, possessing the Frost Attribute. She heads Hollow Special Operations Section 6, tasked with eradicating threats from Hollows.
A key feature of Miyabi is her Frost Attribute. Similar to the Ice element, it can gain advantages from Ice Buffs, such as damage bonuses and the capacity to trigger Freeze, Shatter, and Frostbite. Miyabi has to stack Fallen Frost to utilize her Skills.
What distinguishes her is her Anomaly Specialty. Independent of the Ice element, it can still inflict Disorders on enemies affected by Ice Anomaly. As part of her core passive, it also causes Frostburn on foes with the Icefire debuff.
Miyabi is extremely powerful. Once her CRIT Rate hits 80%, she can unleash huge damage. Her basic attack at charge level three can achieve a damage multiplier of 4282.8%, much higher than that of other characters.

In conclusion, from her mechanics, it’s clear that she is indeed a potent DPS.

Evelyn	Vivian	Alice	Seed
Yanagi	Anby: Soldier 0	Hugo	Burnice

Evelyn

Rarity	Attribute	Speciality	Faction
S-Rank	Fire	Attack	Stars of Lyra

Evelyn is a Fire Attack Character from the Stars of Lyra Faction.

Evelyn is a formidable Fire - focused attacker whose damage - output process starts with entering the Binding Seal (granting up to a 25% critical hit rate), then accumulating Burning Embers (50 convert to 1 Burning Tether Point); getting 3 such points lets her unleash a high - damage Chain Attack, so efficiently accumulating Burning Tether Points (aided by completing basic attack sets to gain 50 embers at a time) is key to playing her well.

She can not only deliver stable damage output while frontlining but also has burst damage potential. If your team is short on a primary Fire DPS, or if Soldier 11’s setup falls short, and you intend to build a Fire-centered team for future content, Evelyn is a top - notch pick!

Vivian

Rarity	Attribute	Speciality	Faction
S-Rank	Ether	Anomaly	Mockingbird

Vivian is an S-rank Ether Anomaly Agent who specializes in being an off-field sub-DPS. Her set of abilities centers on dealing DoT via poison effects, enabling her to excel at sustained damage output.
She has abilities that accumulate charges and then unleash powerful Bloom attacks. Vivian performs best in teams that can often trigger her anomalies. Her distinctive playstyle, which involves switching between a grounded state and a floating state, brings versatility and depth, establishing her as a crucial figure in strategies that focus on anomalies.

If you’re in need of an Ether-type unit or wish to enhance your Anomaly-focused teams, Vivian is definitely worth obtaining by pulling!

Alice

Rarity	Attribute	Speciality	Faction
S-Rank	Physical	Anomaly	Spook Shack

Alice is a Physical-Anomaly DPS S-rank Agent. She builds up Blade Etiquette to unleash powerful charged attacks, whose finishing moves can trigger Polarized Assaults and activate Disorder, greatly boosting her damage. Her passive further enhances damage against enemies afflicted with Physical Anomaly.

With a versatile kit of Basic Attacks, Assists, Special and EX Attacks, Dodge techniques, and a Chain/Ultimate, Alice can maintain strong anomaly pressure while dealing high burst damage. She excels in teams focused on Anomalies, especially Physical-based squads, but remains effective in mixed lineups as well.

In short, Alice is a high-skill, high-reward character—easy to start with but offering great depth for players who aim to maximize her performance.

Seed

Rarity	Attribute	Speciality	Faction
S-Rank	Electric	Attack	Obol Squad

Seed is an Electric Attack S-Rank Agent from Obol Squad. She uses a resource called Steel Charge, which starts at around 60 and caps at 150, accumulated by hitting enemies with her skills. Once she reaches sufficient Steel Charge (≈120), she can perform enhanced Basic Attacks that consume part of this resource.She also has a partner/Vanguard-system: she links to the attack-type teammate with highest ATK.

In short, Seed excels in dual-Attack-agent compositions, especially when teamed with a high-ATK partner and with good Steel Charge management.

Yanagi

Rarity	Attribute	Speciality	Faction
S-Rank	Electric	Anomaly	Section 6

Tsukishiro Yanagi is an electric-element anomaly character. She can switch among various Stances, altering her basic attacks and acquiring unique buffs. This capability enables her to keep launching electric attacks, improving her overall performance through electric boosts. Her enhanced special skill activates extra Polarity Disorder damage, notably raising the disruption rate for the whole team. With uncomplicated mechanics, Tsukishiro Yanagi is versatile; yet, for advanced players striving for high-impact performance, it can be rather complex.

Owing to the characteristics of Polarity Disorder, Yanagi can enhance the Disorder-centered gameplay for squads that focus on Anomalies. Additionally, she can still activate Polarity Disorder in Mono-Electric squads, but with reduced damage potential. Players can find out more details about Yanagi’s optimal team setups in the section that follows.

In conclusion, this is a powerful character capable of well complementing and improving your team.

For the most part, however, he thrives in a stun - based setup. Here, a teammate stuns the enemy first, and then he unleashes his damage. This is because of his core passive, which we’ll cover in the Core Skills section. His playstyle, combining both ranged and melee attacks, is unique in the game. Boasting exceptional mobility and high damage potential, he’s a powerful presence on the battlefield.
Due to the free CRIT Stats he receives, you can easily achieve high CRIT Rate and deal massive damage with his Dash Attack, which will be your primary damage source.
