Dislyte	Explaination
Clara	Clara is an oustanding support Esper. The passive skill allows her healing to cleanse 2 debuffs, giving Immunity if the target has no debuffs, and converts all of the overflow healing into Shields that lasts for 2 turns. The A3 heals all allies based on her max HP, granting AP Up of 25%, which can completely flip the table and can counter massive waves of attacks against your team. She works well with Espers that requires protection and frequent buffs.
Unas	One of a few Legendary Shimmer Espers in the game; Unas can be fast enough to move twice before anyone else if built well. He is excellent in Point War due to his high base SPD and team AP Up from his A3, which usually is enough to easily give him the first turn. He's exceptional in nearly all content. He gains SPD whenever the enemies take turns. His quick attacks with his exceptional utility provide easy control of any fight.
Lin Xiao	Lin Xiao is an easy-to-build DPS Esper. She excels in nearly all content across Dislyte. Her incredible damage comes from the A3, which increases her Crit Rate to 100% for 2 turns while giving her Buff Blocked buff, and applying the DEF Down towards the enemies. She also has great built-in kit with SPD Down, AP Down, Diseased, Bleed, etc. making her incredible for a lot of contents. It's best to use her with supports like Asenath, Sienna, etc.
Gabrielle	Gabrielle is one of the best Support Espers in Dislyte, providing a plethora of strong buffs and debuffs. She provides DEF Up, Immunity for the allies, while applying ATK Down and DEF Down towards the enemies. Her high base SPD allows for her to strongly initiate fights, and she can counter fast Disabler Espers like Long Mian with her team-wide Immunity buff. Fusing her is always a great more. She is useful everywhere and syngeries well with most Espers.
Chloe	Very strong DPS Esper who can deal massive random target damage while also being able to steal and inflict buff blocker debuff. Do remember that her A1 can steal buffs as well. She is exceptional against Sonic Miracle bosses and can be strong against Kronos. Chloe's A3 increases output damage when she has more buffs, so it's best to pair her with Supports like Dhalia, Asenath, or Ye Suhua to significantly improve her damage.
Sander	The main Esper used in most Ritual and Sonic Miracle lineups due to his Captain Ability that offers 25% SPD. He is a strong Disabler which can deal a lot of single-target damage and multi-hit attacks. He has Stun, AP Down, and SPD Down, while giving himself the SPD Up, which is always helpful in any case. His damage scales up with his SPD and ATK, so you want to build him up with both of them in mind. He needs SPD.
Sally	Sally is a great Legendary Support Esper in Dislyte focused on healing and cleansing debuffs. Her kit can trivialize any PvE content the game has to offer with her exceptional healing, Damage Reduction, ATK Up, and health equalization - a must have if you are aiming to conquer Temporal Tower with ease. In Point War, she can make your team tanky, thanks to her 25% DMG reduction buff on her A3 when Ascended. It's best to use her in a defensive team to maximize the damage reduction. Espers like Ren Si, Donar, Gabrielle, Hyde, Unky Chai, and Ye Suhua synergy very well with Sally.
Dhalia	Dhalia is a Support Esper who can be obtained from only Ripple Dimensions. She is an all-round offensive Support, providing 25% AP Up, ATK Up, C.RATE Up, and other great offensive buffs like Stun and Freeze to lock down any Esper. It's best to build her fast with some ACC. Couple her with AP Controllers like Tiye, Clara, Unas, Lucas, Sienna, etc. to make the most of her.
Li Ling	A strong DPS Esper and one of the 2 guaranteed Legendary in the Beginner pool when you reroll. He can help you breeze through story content with ease. He has AP down and MAX HP based damage that is great against Kronos, other bosses, and high HP Espers. He is also pretty strong in Point War, and is usually used as the main damage of the team.
Asenath	A great overall Support Esper. Asenath's Lotus Mark and Recovery buffs make her a great support for any team, reducing damage taken while also increasing her AP to make sure she can easily take turns to heal allies. Her pro-active abilities are super powerful when you know that the enemy is going to deal damage, but can be countered when timed wrong.
Lucas	An exceptional Disabler Esper that can easily cripple your enemies due to his AOE stun, AP Down and dispel + self AP boost on two skills which can give him insane turn cycles. At the moment, you can obtain him for free by clearing the Spatial Tower. He is incredible in Point War where SPD matters the most. It's best to use him with Unas or Tiye so your team can take the turns much quicker and get the total control.
Alice	Updating...
Ollie	An exceptionally versatile Esper that can be both a Support and DPS at the same time and is usable in defensive and aggressive lineups. His SPD captain ability along with his ability to protect a teammate from death and inflict DEF Down, Taunt and Silence are incredible in a lot of content in the game especially in the PVP area.
Ye Suhua	A Support Esper which can easily be recruited from the Ripple Dimension. Ye Suhua is an excellent support across all content in the game as she has the always-useful ATK Up and DEF Up buff in one ability; her A3. She also offers a great healing with the Invincibility & Recovery buff with her A2. Ultimate protection. She is a must-have for every player, and you should keep an eye out in World Chat for any Ye Suhua Ripple Dimensions that become available.
Lewis	Lewis is a single-target DPS which is usually used in boss battles as he is able to deal an insane amount of damage. Due to his abilities, he needs C.RATE and C.DMG. But he only requires 70% C.RATE at most because the A2 buffs his C.RATE Up for 2 turns. A1 provides AP Up, and he could get an extra turn of the A2 crit, allowing him to cycle through the abilities very fast.
Namer	Narmer is currently tied as one of the strongest DPS Espers in the game. His A3 can inflict huge damage when your team's composition and strategy is built or centered around him and his 'Burning Sun' buff. His A's damage when having 5 stacks can ignore 40% enemy DEF, making it one of a few skills that can crush huge DEF team.
Tevor	Tevor is a DPS Esper who is focused on doing debuffs while dealing high damage situationally. Any Esper that dies while having his Neko-Curse has up to 200% of his ATK dealt as True Damage towards the enemy team. Then he also uses the same ability again on an enemy Esper if their HP is over 50%, thus he can stack the Neko-Curse fast. It's best to use him in battles where the enemy team doesn't have Immunity or Cleanse.
Donar	Donar is considered as a defensive DPS Esper as he has  an incredible kit that provides outstanding defensive capabilities, including DEF Up, Immunity, and a passive skill that increases his DEF up to 100%. He is strong in many game modes. He is great in PVE (e.g., clearing Kronos alone and other PVE content) but he is rather slow due to the low base SPD. He is currently one of the most used espers especially in Point War for defending with high DEF team (being supported with Espers which can heal, cleanse, and buff DEF like Sally, Clara, Gabrielle, Ye Suhua, etc.)
Sienna	Sienna is a super strong supporrt. Her skills buff not only ATK Up, SPD Up, AP Up, Increase AP, but she also has a chance to complete reduce the enemy team AP to 0% then Stun them all. This makes her oustanding for the team control and dealing damage. It is best to pair her with Espers which can manipulate AP or remove buffs to allow her skills to affact the enemies: Tiye, Triki, Bonnie, etc.
Ophelia	Updating...
Jiang Jiuli	Updating...
Nicole	Nicole is a strong, buff-heavy Support Esper; with a team-wide Invincibility and DEF Up buff, and a unique buff — Soul Guard — which shares damage received to Nicole, revives upon death, and grants Standoff and Recovery. She's exceptional at keeping Espers alive and interrupting damage, but can be susceptible to dispel, AP Down, or disables. Pairs well with Espers that can increase AP, or reduce cooldowns, such as Fabrice, Unas, Ahmed, etc.
Xiao Yin	Updating...
Zora	Zora is an exceptional Area of Effect (AoE) Fighter, who attack multiple times based on the enemy's current HP. Despite her low multipliers, with the right Relics, she can be invaluable in content like Story Mode, or Shadowfire. Zora is best paired with Espers that can help her take turns faster, keep her protected, or apply DEF Down, such as Fabrice, Nicole, Gabrielle; or paired with another AoE Fighter to lower enemy HP, such as Narmer, Li Ling, or Lin Xiao.
Unky Chai	A unique Support Esper that is especially great in PVE content. He has a strong offensive kit: ATK buff, Crit buff, and ability to reduce teammate cooldowns if there is an ATK Up buff on the ally when he starts his turn. It's best to use him with supports that have ATK Up, such as Sally, Ye Suhua, Brynn, etc.
Tiye	The strongest AP manipulator in Dislyte; Tiye is unparalleled with her A3, which can steal up to 30% AP from each enemy Esper and distribute it evenly among her allies. Her Captain Ability is the fastest SPD Captain Ability in the game, which is super useful in many game modes. And if given enough ACC and SPD, she has the ability to completely dominate a battle.
Tang Xuan	Tang Xuan is a DPS Esper utilizing attack buffs from the Enchantments to deal a lot of effects. He can absorb the buffs to grant himself a Shield, which is quite unique. While he seems strong, in many battles, he requires very strong relics to perform well.
Ren Si	An exceptional defensive Esper primarily used in Point War. He is not only durable but can also deliver strong AOE damage while also having the chance to Taunt enemies. He is a great threat against 'cleave' lineups as he can survive through his Standoff buff when triggering his Passive Ability, then reset his A3, giving him a chance to counterattack the enemies. He is very annoying to deal with.
Tang Yun	Tang Yun is super underrated multi-hit DPS Esper but slowly gaining popularity each day. His massive single target damage potential has recently been tested and proven useful in Temporal Tower, Fafnir, Apep, and even in high-tier Point War ATK. His A1 has the chance to activate Pursuit multiple times, and his A2 & A3 (requirers Crit) also have the chance to activate his A1, to further active the Pursuit once again.
Malin	She is a strong Support who can control the battle with ease due to her powerful utilities. Her A3 has AoE SPD Down and AP Down, which are always helpful, while also resets the A2's cooldown. The A2 applies AP Up and remove debuffs on an ally. It's best to use her for Kronos and Infinity Miracle, where she can help you control the battle.
Raven	One of a few Legendary Shimmer Espers in the game, and is known as Queen of dispels; Raven can easily destroy teams in Point War that heavily rely on buffs using her A3, then apply the DEF Down debuff to let your DPS Espers completely take them out. She pairs well with 'cleave'-like Espers, such as Lin Xiao, Biondina, or Narmer.
Hyde	A strong but extremely hard to build DPS Esper. He has to be durable so that he can slowly increase his damage through his passive skill whenever there is a buff or debuff applied to him, or when an ally is defeated. Not recommended to be built by new players.
Faery	A very strong support Esper with a skill that can grant allies a two turn Immunity buff while also giving an ally Invincibility buff, helping you protect the key Esper of the team. He offers ATK Up buff and gives an ally Esper 100% AP to take the next right immediately, which is great for slowing down DPS Espers. You can use him in almost all game contents and turn the fight easily in your favour. It's best to use him with Fighter such as Lin Xiao, Li Ling, Narmer, Tang Xuan, etc.
Long Mian	A very strong Disabler Esper, especially userful in Point War. He can provide your team +20% SPD when used as the captain and can completely control the enemy team with his Freeze, AP Down, and SPD Down debuffs. One of the best Disablers in Dislyte at the moment.
Heng Yue	Hen Yue is a great support who provides a lot of utilities to your battles. Her passive heals the weakest ally, dispells a debuff, and gives allies under 50% HP a Recover Buff at the end of her turn. She has a strong healing and AoE Cleanse on the A3, which scales up with the number of debuffs she cleanses, impressive kit.
Ahmed	Updating...
Triki	He is an incredible Esper for Point War. His A3 can dispell the enemy buffs then apply the Miss Rate Up debuff, then extend the debuffs on the enemies, helping you weaken a team with ease. His unique passive deals damage to the enemy cleansers, dealing 30% of the target's current HP, which is quite impressive. Petrifies the enemies, remove their buffs, and never miss any attack.
Catherine	Catherine is an exceptional Support Esper generally used in Point War. She is a threat against any Disabler Esper as she can dispel debuffs whenever she gets a turn while also boosting the AP of the team based on the number of debuffs dispelled. She is also good against 'cleave' lineups as she can apply team Standoff buff. She is excellent at keeping your team alive when getting paired with Healers such as Sally, Chang Pu, etc.
Laura	A durable Support Esper focusing on providing shield and Crit Resistance buff to the team whilst having the chance of silencing enemies with her A1. Her ability to provide damage mitigation for the team is great in a lot of content but the downside is, she or her teammates has to move first to utilize her support potential. She can be good against Triki and is best paired with high speed teammates to utilize her shield buff.
Stewart	A strong DPS Esper with an incredibly high A3 multiplier that also scales off of enemy's MAX HP. This makes him exceptional against bosses and high HP enemies. A great DPS Esper for Kronos and Apep. He is best paired with buffers such as Ye Suhua and Dhalia to even further increase his damage potential.
Melanie	A great support unit against Kronos but has to be paired with another AP down Esper like Sander or Eira for her to maximize the AP down potential from the passive and A3. Her passive works well with the A3, allowing her to reduce up to 45% of the enemy AP, then inflict Pentrification to those who are under 30% AP. In addition, her Captain Ability in Point War gives you the advantage to take the first move, which is excellent when you use control or cleave teams.
Freddy	Freddy is a strong DPS Esper for new players. His abilities synergies very well. He has the ability to survive at 1 HP, while his A3 allows him to deal more damage at low HP, and his A1 attack twice with better crit & ignore DEF when he is on low HP. To get him to low Hp safely, his A2 gives ATK Up and Standoff. He can deal insanely high amount of damage.
Lynn	Single-target DPS Esper which can survive through heavy damage with her Shield buff, stop debuffs with the Immunity, and dispel buffs from the target. Such a unique hero. Her multi-attacks are great for Fafnir, helping break the Fafnir's shield before he deals significant damage, while keeping herself alive.
Pritzker	A strong Disabler Esper that not only stuns but also extends enemies cooldown by 1 turn if they are immobilized when he inflicts a debuff. This works very well with his A3, which attacks all enemies 3 times, applyig Stun and can potentially increase the enemy skill cooldown by up to 3 turns. It's best to team him up with Espers that have Dispels or Disablers such as Long Mia, Rave, Triki, Kaylee, Siena, Tiye, etc. as his base SPD is low.
Mona	The best DPS Farmers for new players. Amazing for XP Farming! Mona is an outstanding Epic Esper which is available for all players in the game right from the beginning. It's strongly recommended to get her to 6-star first due to her crazy potential damage, great survivability, and easy to upgrade skills. She should be your main DPS for levelling up fodders during the early game.
Jiang Man	Jiang Man is an interesting Fighter due to her unique debuff. The Netherbloom debuff from her A1 and A3 doesn't need ACC to apply, and it takes 5 hits to explode, dealing damage equal to 85% of ATK and has a 50% chance to apply Silence for 2 turns towards the enemies. Her debuff can deal very high damage, but can be easily countered by Immunity or Cleanse.
Xie Chuyi	Xie Chuyi is great, well-rounded DPS on his own, but even much stronger when having Xie Yuzhi on the same team. The strong multi-hit AoE attack and single-target abilities applying DEF Down and Sear make him great for a lot of contents. He is great when paring with Xie Yuzhi and buff or dispel Espers.
Biondina	A powerful DPS Esper mainly used in Point War against defensive team comps. She has the potential to almost one-shot the enemies. When using her A3, she completely ignores the DEF (100%) when they have no buffs. This makes her a huge threat against defensive lineups. Her passive can also fully remove buffs on one target at the start of her turn, and this cannot be countered. Couple those abilities with her Captain Ability, which increases ATK by 40% in Point War, she is the real glass-cannon who can take out any squishy in the first turn with ease. It's best to use Biodina with dispel Espers such as Raven, Bonnie, Triki, and others.
Anesidora	Anesidora is very useful for Infinity Miracle, or Temporal Tower. She is built around the unique debuff, Pandora's Box, which deals damage after 2 turns and inflicting a Stun while reducing the targeted Espers' current HP by up to 50%. Her A2 has the ability to dispel debuff, while also giving a chance to trigger the Pandora's Box early, making her a great controller for PvE. It's best to use her with Controllers such as Long Mian, Pritzker, Tiye, etc.
Lu Yi	Lu Yi is a Fighter who can hit up to 9 times randomly, while having a chance to inflict Bleed. He also has a chance to deal True Damage (higher chance if he crits). He is best to use versus Fafnir as he can easily break through the shield and deal decent damage. It's best to give him SPD and C.RATE when building relics.
Jeanne	An underrated Support Esper with a kit centered for Point War. She is one of the few Epers that have a stun in all her abilities which makes her a decent disabler. She is capable of completely lickig out an enemy from the battle. Also, she has a dispel on A3, allowing her to help Disablers or DPS to apply the debuffs and damage towards the enemies. Her multi-attacks are useful in Fafnir. Her dispel can remove Fafnir's Immunity as well.
Berenice	Berenice is one of the very few Espers who can grants a Shield to allies for 2 turns based on her max HP. She can even strengthen the Shield further if the targets are already buffed. She also applies DEF Down and AP Down towards the enemies. She provides a lot of multi-hit, which is very useful for Fafnir.
Jin Yuyao	A strong Support Esper that is primarily designed for Point War. She is the support that has the highest base HP i the game right now. She can completely nullify Disable-oriented lineups through her insane debuff transfer ability and immunity to disables (Stun, Freeze, Petrification, etc.). When used as defense, it forces the opponent to bring non-disabler Espers. She requires a high amount of SPD.
Lauren	An exceptional support Esper that is mainly used in Temporal Tower and Point War. She is one of a few Espers who can revive allies. She can revive, fully heal, and AP boost (50%) a teammate in a single turn providing incredible sustain for your team. If equipped with Ocean Waves relic, she can potentially revive every other turn. It's best to pair her with high HP allies that benefit from her revive and healing such as Catherine, Yuyao, and other high HP Supports.
Chalmers	Chalmers is a great single-target DPS Esper. As a Shimmer Esper, his attacks cannot miss due to the Affinity Advantages, allowing him to deal damage consistently. He can deal extra damage based on the enemy max HP, making him great for bosses like Kronos or Apep.
Q	Q is a Support who is sometimes used in speed run teams for farming in Sonic Miracle or Ritual Miracle. When the targets are linked, if either takes damage, their counterpart gets True Damage = 80% of the damage taken. Q also has DEF Down and ATK Down, making him pretty versatile.
Meredith	A Support Esper with an A3 ability that heals (scales better against high HP enemies), reduces enemy's MAX HP and also buffs teammates that have more than 80% HP with SPD UP. Her A2 ability heals, grants DEF UP and CRIT RESIST to a single teammate. She can be good in niche cases where protecting one Esper is expected.
Bonnie	A high base speed Support Esper mainly used in Point War. She can be used as an opener for the team by utilizing her A3 strip with team AP boost ability or as a Disabler by increasing enemy cooldowns with her A3. This cooldown increase can bypass the Immunity buff, which is a super strong ability to start the battle with in Point War. She also converts dispelled buffs with the A3 into 5% AP Up for each ally.
Chang Pu	A great support Esper who can provide a nice amount of healing for your team. Her A3 heals up the entire team while also applying the Immunity buff for 2 turns. A2 has a strong single-target heal. She also has the chance to reduce target's AP with the A1. Chang Pu is highly recommended for early game due to the low cooldowns and high healing.
Kaylee	Kaylee is a Disabler who utilizes her crits to trigger the debuffs. In short, Kaylee is a hard-to-use Esper. She is built around placing debuffs when she crits with the A3 which gives C.RATE Up buff and has Freeze. Her A2 inflicts AP Down and SPD Down. She has very little use due to the high requirements and she could mis against Wind affinity.
Xie Yuzhi	Xie Yuzhi is a Controller Esper when getting paired with Xie Chuyi. Xie Yuzhi can completely disable the enemy team with the multiple hits that can apply AP Down, Absorb AP, Stun, while giving him the SPD Up buff to keep the momentum running. His abilities really shine when in the same team with Xie Chuyi. Otherwise, he is decent.
Bardon	Bardon is a Tank who utilizes counterattacks for supporting low-HP allies with his passive. Whenever an ally is on low HP, his passive has a chance to Taunt the enemies when he counterattacks, once per turn. His A1 has a chance to Stun the enemy, but he doesn't counterattack using A1. Instead, he counterattacks using "normal" attack damage from A2.
Cecilia	Cecilia is one of a few Legendary Shimmers in Dislyte. At the moment, it's hard to use and build a team with her. She is centered around getting allies revived, but it's hard to keep her viable due to her low SPD, damage, and long cooldowns. While her Shield is not reduced in long fights, it still can be dispelled. It's best to pair her with Espers who can reduce her cooldowns, control, and utilise her passive.
Brynn	Brynn is a Support Esper who has decent damage during the early game, coming with a bit of utility. Her A2 buffs the ATK Up for the entire team, giving your DPS more damage. Her A3 deals up to 300% of ATK single-target damage while applying DEF Down & Freeze. Her A1 has SPD Down too. She falls out of meta quickly after the early game. Not recommended to get up to 6-star.
Aurelius	A DPS Esper that also has control abilities. His damage potential is increased against enemies inflicted with the Freeze debuff which makes him good when paired with Long Mian, Dhalia, or Kaylee. Unfortunately, his very low base ATK makes it hard for him to deal reliable damage as a full DPS Esper and so he is best built as a sub DPS instead.
Luo Yan	Luo Yan is very useful for Infinity Miracle. His A3 can reduce the target's max HP by up to 30% while inflicting Disease, making him great against high HP targets, especially the Phobetor's Folowers from Temporal Tower. A2 applies ATK Up, Recover, and a buff that revives the ally when they die.
Falken	Falken is a Defender with an unique set of skills. He is built around the debuff Eye of Horus from his A3. If an enemy having Eye of Horus attacks his ally, the ally will get a chance to counterattack, and he will get a chance to counterattack attack as well using his A3, providing the high up-time for Eye of Horus. His main weakness is that his debuff can be removed or blocked by Immunity. Still, he provides a great level of utility to the fight.
Djoser	Djoser is a Defender with skills focusing on sustain and survival. The passive stacks up whenever he gets hit, increasing the DEF by 10% each time and RESIST by 5% each time, max 10 stacks. After getting 10 stacks, he takes extra turn, allowing him to utilize the A3, consumes the passive buff to heal 5% of Max HP per stack, while dealing extra damage. It's best to use him with Espers who can increase DEF like Ye Suhua.
Li Ao	Li Ao is somewhere between Tank and Disabler. He is the only Esper in the game right now who can apply the Devour with his A3, preventing the enemy from taking actions and being selected/buffed/debuffed/attacked. He has Taunt and can dispell all buffs on the target as well, making him quite useful in Point War.
Celine	Celine is a good Disabler Esper as she has AoE Sleep & AP Down on her A3, making her great for single-target teams. She also can cleanse a debuff on each ally while giving them DEF UP and SPD Up, making her one of few Espers who can cast SPD Up buff for allies consistenly. She does not work well with AoE team due to the Sleep debuff.
Jacob	Jacob is perfect for taking out Apep. His A2 is super strong, giving allies the ability to deal with Poisons, while having a chance to cast Poison towards the attacker when taking damage. He also has Poison on A1 and A3. The Petrification on his A3 doesn't work with Apep however, and is only working against the normal mobs.
Zelmer	Zelmer is a Fighter who is built around debuffs. Her A1 has DEF Down debuff, A2 has Bleed when it crits. These debuffs increases the A3 damage significantly, by 20% for each debuff the target has. Most of her abilities are multi-hits, she is also a decent choice for Fafnir.
Taylor	Taylor is a Fighter who has unique passive and decent damage. His passive stops the enemies from reviving while giving him an extra turn whenever he kills an enemy. This makes him great against Espers who revive allies like Lauren, Cecilia, etc. His A3 dispels all buffs from the target, and gives him ATK Up & C.RATE Up upon kill. It's best to use him as a clean-up Esper when using other DPS Esper.
Arcana	Arcana is a Disabler Esper with the highest base SPD in Dislyte. He is generally is used for dispelling buffs on the enemies using his A3. His can Stun an enemy and steal AP. His A1 can inflict Miss Rate Up. While he can be used as a dispel Esper, he is easily outperformed Raven, Triki, Bonnie, and others.
Drew	Drew is a strong DPS Esper who is able to deal a ton of damage through single-target hits. Drew is one of a few Espers you get for free right from the beginning, and is useful for nearly all game contents. His low cooldowns, DEF-ignore skills, DEF Down, and the unique chaining effect from the A3 allowing him to target 3 enemies at the same time, all of those make him one of the strongest Rare DPS Espers.
Bai Liuli	Bai Liuli is a DPS Esper who has utilities and average damage. Her passive skill cleanses a random debuff on herself each turn, and heals all allies by 5%, which is helpful at keeping your team running healthy. Her A3 attacks 5 times randomly (prioritizing new targets and dealing less damage to same targets). The A3 also has a chance to steal the buffs on the targets.
Leon	Leon is a Fighter with strong single-target attack. He can be used in high-tier Kronos teams due to his high damage and the advantage against Kronos. The Sear debuff increases the damage Kronos receives by 25%, while giving a 100% chance to crit if the target has debuffs. He requires a lot of great Relics however and is hard to put in a lot of teams.
Helena	Helena is a Support Esper everyone has right from the beginning of the game. She can heal up allies a little. She is one of a few Espers who has C.RATE Up Buff. A1 can dispel the target. A2 has AP Down. She is very squishy and can be easily overshadowed by other Healers. It's recommended to use Chang Pu instead of Helena If you don't have any better options.
Alexa	Alexa is one of a few Espers in Dislyte that can reflect damage with her Kiss of the Nightingale buff. She can balance all allies HP ratiors, while healing and reducing the cooldowns of Espers who have Kiss of Nightingale buff. This allows your team to get out of many tough situations with ease. It's best to use her with Supports like Chang Pu or Unky Chai, etc.
David	David is a DPS Esper. However, he doesn't fit this role in any way. He has utilities via the passive. Whenever he is immobilized, he can dispel a debuff on himself then Taunt a random enemy. He has Stun on A3. However, he is more like a Tank than a DPS.
Kara	A support Esper that is centered on inflicting poison debuff. Her passive allows her attacks to inflict Poisons and extend them as well, while the A3 can inflict SPD Down and extra Poison. However, Poison teams are not having a good standing at the moment.
Hall	Hall is a DPS Esper who focus on dealing damage via Poison and supportive attacks. His passive allows him to follow the allies' attacks to target an individual enemy, dealing a small damage and inflicts Poison. Sometimes you can find him in Fafnir team comps due to his passive.
Layla	Layla is a DPS Esper who can deal more damage if the enemies are affected by Poison. Her A3 attacks the enemies twice and inflict Poison, giving her A2 100% more damage when dealing damage towards Poisoned targets. She also can transfer 1 debuff from all allies to a target, while inflicting Diseased. Once again, Poison teams are not a great choice at the moment.

How to use the Tier List

Please take this Dislyte tier list with a grain of salt. We’ve built it up and ranked the best Espers in the game based on their popularity, strengths, and weaknesses separately when each hero is at their best state and best relics.

It means that, if some Espers are not the best in a specific mode, but they have a strong synergy, they could do some insane jobs, which are even better than anyone could.

Synergy is what matters the most!

Some Espers (heroes) seem to be very weak at first when not having good relics, or when their skills are not invested in the right points. Some Espers could be really game-changing after having enough investment in their skills, especially those which have their cooldown reduced by a lot when getting levelled up, and those that have the probability increased.

Skills which only offer better damage when getting levelled up are usually the worst investments in most cases.

The rating basis for Story/Cube, Kronos and Apep are based on two ideas: Flexibility and Efficiency.

Flexibility is the ability for an esper to be useful not just in a single category but also in others as well. This basis primarly affects DPS espers as they use the most resources. For example, if you expend your resources on the DPS Esper Leon, you may end up easily clearing Kronos, but eventually, you will have a hard time in other contents of the game. For this reason, Leon’s rating in Kronos is lowered so that players, especially new ones, will avoid using their limited resources on such infexible Espers early on. The summary category can help point out the usefulness of Espers such as Leon despite their rating.

Efficiency is how fast the esper improves the clear time of the category. For example, the Esper Sander can greatly improved the efficiency of the Kronos run due to his captain and AP down abilities. However, the esper Sally, may guarantee you to clear the Kronos run due to her great support abilities but she doesn’t necessarily make the run fast.

In Point War, the rating is based on the effectiveness of the Esper. Effectiveness is how successful is the Esper in either Point War defense or attack.

The ratings are based on discussions made by its contributors through careful and (as much as possible) unbiased evaluation. This Tier List aims to be a way of guiding players in progressing the game.

All information is subjective and does not exactly define in detail the esper’s usefulness. This Tier List is subject to change as it is still in its early stage of development.

Hopefully you have found this tier list for the game Dislyte helpful!

Tier List FAQs

Who is better: Heng Yue or Chang Pu?

Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: Both are on equal grounds in a vaccuum and your team will decide which is better. Generally, if you have Gabrielle you use Heng Yue, otherwise you usually use Chang Pu.

Who is better: Clara or Sally?

Short Answer: Clara
Long Answer: They don’t really fulfill the same role. Overall Clara beats Sally in healing/speed and defensive buffing while Sally provides some offensive buffing but is incredibly awkward tempo wise.

Who is better: Sander or Long Mian/Pritzker?

Short Answer: Long Mian/Pritzker.
Long Answer: Sander is a very good unit but entirely single target meaning that you don’t really want to use him in Story. Long Mian or Pritzker are excellent to lock down entire waves and will honestly just have more impact than him most of the time.

Is Gabrielle worth getting?

Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: Gabrielle is one of the best buffers in the game, makes your team very tanky with DEF Up and ATK Down and even provides Debuff Immunity and DEF Down.

Are Ye Suhua/Dhalia worth getting?

Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: Even if you don’t use them they’re good to have on your roster for any future teams you might want to make. Suhua is an excellent healer/buffer and Dhalia is a really good buffer as well.

Do I build ATK on Chang Pu?

No. Don’t bring any ATK% mainstats on her. It’s not worth it. She already does insane healing without her small ATK scaling so building her with HP% will allow her to survive for longer and get more heals out.

What Resonance do I give my units?

You generally follow this priority:
1. Whatever the unit’s skills scale with.
2. HP for Supports and Controllers.
3. ATK for DPS.
4. DEF for Defenders.

Are Twins good?

Together: Yes
Apart: Red Twin can be used solo in Kronos but generally they are quite underwhelming when apart.

Should I use my abilimon on x unit?

You generally follow this priority for abilimon:
Supports > Controllers > DPS/DEF.

Read more: How to use Abilimon effectively.

Who to 6 star next?

Generally. you follow this priority for stars:
DPS/DEF > Supports > Controllers.

Keep in mind that this is based on units you are currently using or want to use, don’t randomly 6 star a DPS you are never going to use over the Lucas that’s been carrying you through Purgatory for example.
