C Tier

Those characters in the C Tier might have specific situations in which they are worthwhile but overall have far too many flaws to slot into your main lineup.

Character	Faction	Role	Description
Arden	Wilder	Mage	Amazing CC potential in PvP but otherwise a weaker mage.
Mirael	Lightbearer	Mage	Mediocre damage and no utility.
Parisa	Wilder	Mage	Hybrid damage dealer and buffer, can really buff an auto attack character.
Salazer	Graveborn	Rogue	Focuses damage on tanks which sounds good in theory but is really just a waste.
Satrana	Mauler	Mage	Very squishy but has solid utility by reducing healing on enemies who attack those shes buffs.

D Tier

For the most part, you don’t want to use characters in the D Tier. They are typically much weaker than other options, and even in situational spots often have better characters that can be used instead.

Character	Faction	Role	Description
Atlanta	Lightbearer	Marksman	Not good. At anything.
Fay	Lightbearer	Support	Technically can heal and buff, but all other options are better at it.
Kafra	Wilder	Warrior	Can work in a melee-focused team but once again, other options are usually better.
Lumont	Mauler	Tank	Very undertuned. A tank that will die faster than anything else.
