Tier List Explanation and Pull Rates
- S Tier – Meta Adventurers and Very Flexible:
- Fated Adventurer (SSR): The most flexible choice, able to use every weapon type and element. A valuable versatility that makes your own Hunter viable across any team compositions and situations.
- Madelyn (SR): An excellent all-around Support, thanks to her AOE healing vial.
- Midori (SSR): Her Long Sword attacks are easy to use and powerful for consistent high DPS.
- Freya (SSR): Counterattacks and parries give her consistent massive Great Sword damage.
- Pepper (SSR): Her Heavy Bowgun damage is great, and her Paralysis-inflicting Ultimate is always welcome in all combat situations.
- Ryunosuke (SR): For an SR unit, he’s very versatile thanks to his Feast mechanic, letting you quickly fill his Spirit Gauge. Also comes with the Grand Feast Ultimate, granting party-wide Fire damage boost and temporary ailment immunity.
- A Tier – Strong Alternatives to S Tiers:
- Pyro (SSR): Devastating damage, but his playstyle rewards eating hits, making him riskier to use.
- Haze (SSR): A powerful pick for an elemental-team, with the Scarlet Mark Ultimate significantly boosts the party’s Elemental Critical Damage.
- Luka (SSR): An excellent ranged DPS with high mobility and Piercing and Thunder Coating abilities.
- Arkaya (SSR): Defensive Support and quite mobile. His Ultimate grants additional defense for the whole party through shields but lacks Madelyn’s healing.
- Keres (SSR): Her Bone Frenzy Ultimate adds bone spikes for additional part damage. Great for breaking monster parts and an aggressive playstyle.
- B Tier – Okay Units That Might Perform Well in Specific Situations
- Raya (SR): Her Ultimate’s special Pitfall Trap helps with hunting standard Large Monsters, but becomes useless against Elder Dragons. Her overall damage is also less compelling than higher-tier Disruptors.
- Rhodes (SSR): Core Energy mechanic rewards successful parries with strong damage potential. But the setup, attack range, and lackluster Ultimate make him less effective.
- Luxheart (SR): Offers valuable monster suppression and KO effects through his Ultimate. But his Heat gameplay requires setup before reaching his full potential.
- Ouyang Varen (SR): His counter-based Ultimate can stagger monsters, but his utility is too situational, and damage output is lacking.
