Introduction
Thanks for the awards, the +200 favorites and over 150 ratings! I love y'all
Also recently we've reached a 5 stars rating! Thanks for all the support! :D

Hello Adjutant, I made this guide as an easy way to check how to build every operative in the game, it includes stuff like neuronics priority, recommended manifestations, weapons logistics sets and team composition for all of snowbreak's operatives! If you want more information on how to build your operatives, please check other guides such as Flux Kairos's[coda.io], which has more info about builds and an operative tierlist so i recommend checking that one out too if you want more info!

Just as it says in the guide's description, this isn't meant to be used as a 100% fact guide, just as a suggestion for more easily check what builds are best for each operative. I may not know about a better build/logistics set for a specific operative, if you do, let me know and i'll probably add it to the guide!

Do keep in mind that to unlock some of the stages/operations required you have to have completed most of the Main Story missions, so some of these builds may take some time to get if you're just starting out.


If you're wondering on which operative to get: First listen to your heart, to your desires. Who do you like the most? Then focus on which operatives are meta and whatever, you don't need the absolute best for most of the content unless you want to be competitive on neural simulation.


And if you find this helpful, don't forget to like this guide and favourite it to reach more people! It'll help me find motivation to keep updating it regularly :D
Before you start reading!
Before you start reading, there is some info you need to understand what certain terms mean, as well as some recommendations along the way.

Neuronics
They're passive buffs to your abilities, their leveling order depends on each operative, top ones buff their Standard skill, center ones their support skill, and bottom ones their ultimate skill. Everytime you unlock 2 neuronics their deiwos (basically passive ability) is upgraded. You can refer to the image to see the upgrade order that'll be used in this guide. The materials needed to upgrade them can be farmed on operations or bought at the shop. Most efficient way to get them is from the Event shop.


Manifestation
These are phases for each character which upgrade their abilities in some way, they're unlocked using shards which can be obtained by getting copies of the operative, or farmed in "Personal File" operation. For 5* characters, you can only farm 2 shards per day for each operative. In the image you can see how long it would take to farm each Manifestation level. 4* characters don't have this daily limit so their fragments are easier to farm.


Operations
For this guide, the 3 most important operations are Raining Fire, Mind Refinement, and Arms Hub. The first 2 is where you'll farm logistics, and the 3rd one is for 4* event weapons that you can exchange in the shop. Always do these missions in the highest difficulty possible.


Daily Shop
It's the shop where you can spend your silverbucks, it's contents refresh daily so if you're looking for a specific weapon don't forget to check it. Do keep in mind 300000 is kinda expensive, so don't buy them if you're short on cash.
Look out for these weapons that can used by supports:
Prismatic Igniter, Deep Sea's Call, Lapis Lazuli, Strawberry Shortcake, Frigatebird

Event Shop
The shop from the event which is currently running, it has a limited tab for resources and an unlimited tab where you can get logistics/event weapons for the operatives that are in the limited gacha in the current update

IMPORTANT: If you're going to farm a logistics set/event weapon for a 5* limited operative, check if they're available on the event shop first, it's more efficient to farm them from the event than from the operations tab.

Gacha system
Through this guide, you'll see some terms like "Limited" and "Standard" gacha, these refer to the gacha system the game has, which you can access from the "Echo" tab in the home screen. There are 4 type of banners in this game:
  • Special-Limited (100% guaranteed): Here you have to roll 100 times to guarantee an operative, and 80 times for a guaranteed weapon. There's a 0.1% chance of getting a 5* roll
  • Standard-Limited (50/50 system): Operatives need 80 rolls, and weapons 60 rolls. There's a 0.7% chance of getting a 5* roll, and only a 50% chance of getting the one in the banner.
  • Duty's Command: Standard banner for operatives, has 50/50 system.
  • Hearth of Midgard: Standard banner for weapons, has 50/50 system.

I recommend rolling in the Special-Limited (100%) banner for both operatives and limited weapons, 50/50 for weapons is ok too, most operatives can use 4* weapon alternatives just fine. Also do not spend digicash on the standard banners, you can get tickets to roll on those banners just by completing certain tasks and from events.

About Logistics
This section is all about logistics, read it to learn how you can get and upgrade them properly. (All of this info will apply mostly to Orange-Rarity logistics only.)

Can the same logistics set stack?
If you have 2 supports with the same set, the buff will NOT stack. This applies to all sets so always have all operatives with a different set in your team.

What exactly are substats (or talents)
Apart from their 3 mainstats (HP, ATK and DEF), all logistics have 3 substats (or talents), the 1st and 2nd are random, and only one can be changed (after 2.4 update), so its recommended to get at least 1 good substat then re-roll the other. The 3rd substat, which unlocks at LVL 15, can be changed using "Revision Application" and has unique talents different to 1st and 2nd.
You can see what substats are available in a table the end of this section.



How to reroll/change the substats (or talents)
For the 1st and 2nd talent, you need to use two resources: 1 "Revision Limit" (can be obtained from the Supreme Battleground gamemode, which is an event mode that seems to reset every 14 days) and 50 "Personnel Limit" (Can be obtained by recycling gold logistics, and by obtaining all rewards in gigalink (resets each week)).
As you can see, you can only re-roll one of the substats, so make sure you choose the right one before using them.


IMPORTANT: Devs announced that in version 2.5, they'll release another way to get Revision Limits.

For the 3rd substat, you need to upgrade the logistic agent to lvl 15, then select "Special" and there you can use 1 "Revision Application" to change it.



Logistics priority
This is the most important question for most people. Who should I farm first? How many logistics sets should I get? And who needs their logistics upgraded the most? For these questions, read these tips:
  1. It's more efficient to farm logistics in the Event Shop. So if the set it's available there, farm currency for the event to buy them.
  2. DPS Characters really benefit from substats, as well as having their 3rd substat for more damage. So upgrade them to LVL 15 if you have the resources.
  3. Support Characters don't need the 3rd substat that much, so you can leave their logistics at LVL 12 most of the time.
  4. Don't waste your stamina rerolling for the perfect substats, most characters are ok with at least one decent substat roll (unless you really want the best for 1% Neural Simulation).
  5. Don't use up your Revision Applications on logistics with mediocre substats, always save them for good logistics.
  6. You can use an already leveled up logistic to upgrade another, you don't lose any EXP and will only have to pay some silverbucks.


Where to find "x" logistic set?
You may struggle to find where a specific set is, here's a handy list to help you find them easily:
  • Raining Fire (Operations Tab): Dharma, Thebes, Fenya, Moira, Koffman, Amano-Iwato, Twilight, Xinye
  • Mind Refinement (Operations Tab): Mingyi, Akitsu, Amarna, Hjartagard, Eli, Lux, Dziady, Areca, Scarab, Nova, Reverie, Chaya, Aileron, Vector, Insight
  • Underground Purge (Shop > Event Exchange): Navigator, Mizuho, Usha
  • Event shop (unlimited tab): Halo, Lux, Vector

PD: To obtain currency to buy logistics in the Underground Purge shop, you need to complete the "Jotun Tunnel" mode, which resets every 2 weeks.
The logistics in the event shop are for the characters in the banner. So they change with each new update.

About leveling logistics
One important thing about logistics, all 3 have main stats that can be upgraded, each logistic agent brings a different 3rd main stat, which will be Max HP Boost, ATK Boost or DEF Boost respectively, this stat gets maxed out at level 12, so I recommend upgrading your logistics to this LVL most of the time. Only reserve LVL 15 for your main dps operatives to help save your resources, or when you get a god-like roll in the substats (S ATK and S Alignment Index for example). Unlocking their 3rd substat at LVL 15 is a luxury because of the high cost in resources.

‎ ‎ ‎ Acacia - Kaguya
Kaguya is a limited banner universal support character, she's one of the best supports character as using her skill gives you 24% damage shred (when at max level), basically enemies take 24% more dmg from all sources which helps in basically every team you can think of. The best generalist support for real!

Standard skill: Spawns blades that spin around your character, dealing dmg and slowing down enemies. When upgraded, can also freeze enemies and you get 3 charges to use.
Support skill: Spawn a blade on an enemy, shredding their resistance to all-type dmg. With upgrades, can pull enemies together and the blade will follow the target. The resistance shred is also increased (up to 24%)
Ultimate skill: Spawns a tornado that damages enemies and slows them down. Upgrades make it pull enemies and increase its duration

Deiwos passive: Increases dmg dealt to enemies inflicted with Movement SPD reduction by 2.5%/5%/7.5%/10% (Increases 1% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 4-3, 5-6 and 1-2
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Mid priority, increases area of effect, and increases dmg shred to 33.6% when you use Pine Aurora/Aye, Aye, Captain!)) If you don't have those weapons then she's ok at M0.
  • Elemental Damage: Frost DMG

3* T5 Muddy Snow
Gacha






From best to worst, your options are: T2 Pine Aurora > T5 Prismatic Igniter > T1 Pine Aurora* > T1 Prismatic Igniter > T5 Aye, Aye, Captain!** > Muddy Snow.
*Better than T5 Prismatic Igniter once Kaguya reaches M2
**Goes up a tier if your main dps is frost dmg.

Logistics sets
  • Amarna (Support): Its buff effect has almost 100% uptime with Kaguya
  • Twilight (Support): If your main dps does frost dmg (Wild Hunt, Blue Bolt, Dawnwing)
Substat priority
Skill Haste (19.3) > S-Energy Recovery (14.1%). Consider ATK (10%) when using Prismatic Igniter.
3rd substat should be Frost DMG (8.5%).

Thanks to her resistance shred, she can fit in any team, so if you're missing a specific support for your dps, feel free to use Kaguya as an alternative.
‎ ‎   ‎ ‎
  Frost Ops
 DPS 
She can be a great support to frost dmg operatives like Wild Hunt, Blue Bolt and Dawnwing. Works especially well when using Twilight logistics.


‎ ‎ ‎ Bubu - The Geomancer | ON BANNER
The Geomancer is a limited banner ballistic dmg dps, she's able to shoot nonstop thanks to her auto-reloading abilities, and her bullets are able to ricochet to multiple enemies, so she's really good for mobbing too. Overall a really good operative which you won't regret getting.

Special: Bubu can perform a quick 3-shot burst called "Arcane Shot", in her normal state, it triggers every third shot. If bullets in magazine are less than 3 when activated, she automatically reloads her weapon. Arcane shots deal a bit less dmg than normal shots.
Bubu uses S-Energy (the blue bar at the bottom left) to add dmg and a ricochet effect to her shots, and she can't generate S-Energy by shooting or passively.

Standard skill: Hold this skill to generate S-Energy
Support skill: Create an area in front of Bubu, enemies inside this area take dmg when shot. If upgraded, they also take damage over time.
Ultimate skill: This ability doesn't consume U-Energy, instead, it uses "Divine Seals" which are obtained by shooting, triggering an Arcane shot, and, if upgraded, when stunning/paralyzing an enemy for the 1st time. You can hold up to 3 "Divine Seals".
Use her ultimate to consume 1 "Divine Seal", Bubu will reload her weapon and enter a state where all shots are "arcane shots", have 100% crit chance and increased crit dmg, and also have reduced S-Energy consumption, also Bubu can automatically reload after dodging. Skill animation plays only the 1st time this ability is used.

Basically use her ultimate whenever you can -> Keep shooting to gain Divine Seals -> Regenerate S-Energy when low -> Repeat

Deiwos passive: Each burst shot bullet dmg decreases to 45%/50%/55/60% and Destructible Object DMG decrease to 30%. (Increase Bubu's ATK by 5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-1, 6-5 and 3-4
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Increases DMG and grants Bubu CC immunity in her ult state).
  • Elemental Damage: Thermal DMG

Weapons



Weapon
Found In
5* Gilded Blaze
Limited gacha
4* Plum Blossom
Event Shop
3* Halftorch
Gacha



Difference between 5* Glided Blaze and T5 4* Plum Blossom should be about 25-30% dmg.
Both of her 5* and 4* weapons are able to stun enemies every 40/60 shots respectively.


Logistics sets
  • Halo (DPS): Her exclusive logistics, increases Bubu's overall dmg.
  • Amano-Iwato (DPS): When using this set, you need to always ADS when shooting. Harder to use than Halo, but very similar damage.
Substat priority
ATK (10%) > Crit DMG (10.6%) > Alignment Index (106).
NOTE: Prefer Index if you miss weakspots often (this doesn't matter in her ult state, as she has 100% crit rate for its duration).
3rd substat should be Thermal DMG (8.5%).



Team Composition for: Bubu - The Geomancer
 Operative
  Role

 Starshine
Support
After using Starshine's support skill, Bubu's shots will have increased dmg, and she'll also gonna be able to do the burst without reloading as often.

Shadow Ka
Support
Similar to other ballistic dmg dps, Bubu also benefits a lot from having a static target, and also really benefits from Shadow Ka's buffs.

    Eatchel
Support
Healer
If you unlock Bubu's 5th neuronic, you'll be able to get Divine Seals (ult charges) when you stun enemies (once per enemy), so you can use Eatchel's support skill to quickly gain charges. And as Eatchel constantly heals you, you won't have to worry too much about dying.


‎ ‎ ‎ Chenxing - Ethereal Cloud
Ethereal Cloud is a limited banner ballistic and skill dmg dps character, the first limited dps ever released in fact, she can deal damage to multiple units at once, this ability is especially useful against bosses like Hela or Fiends. So she performs good in most situations, and excels against bosses with multiple parts basically.

Standard skill: Hold the skill button to enter ”scan mode”, look to mark enemies and their parts, then release the button to launch slips and mark them. Shooting enemies with slips in them, makes them share dmg with other marked enemies and parts.
Support skill: Can paralyze up to 5 enemies for 2 seconds, if they get shot in their weakspot, they all receive some dmg.
Ultimate skill: Starts bombarding an area, which strikes 15 times and knocks enemies up. With upgrades it also resets the duration of the slips, and increases the ballistic dmg they receive for the skill duration.

Deiwos passive: When equipped with an Electrical weapon, shots have 50% chance of increasing their dmg by 8%/16%/24%/32% (Increases 8% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-1, 5-6 and 4-3
  • Manifestation level: M3 (Low/mid priority, increases dmg and marks duration) She's still does ok dmg at M0
  • Elemental Damage: Electrical DMG

Weapons



Weapon
Found In
5* Anti-Evil Ward
Limited gacha
4* Wild Leer
Arms Hub Exchange
T5 3* Ender
Gacha


Difference between T5 Wild Leer vs 5* Anti-Evil Ward is about 20% dmg. Also Wild Leer has a lower ammo capacity (25 vs 30 bullets) so rotations may be a bit slower.

Logistics sets
  • Amano-Iwato (DPS): Strong buff when hitting weakspots, remember to always ADS.
  • Mingyi (DPS): If you don't like to ADS use this, is about 5% less dmg than Amano-Iwato overall.
Substat priority
ATK (10%) > Crit DMG (10.6%) > Alignment Index (106).
3rd substat should be Electrical DMG (8.5%).



Team Composition for: Chenxing - Ethereal Cloud
 Operative
  Role

  Exuvia
Support
Sub~DPS
Both work incredibly well, Exuvia boosts EC skill dmg, and EC triggers Exuvia's support skill dmg. Equip Exuvia with Twilight for the best results

 Starshine
Support
Similar to Coronet's case, Starshine allows Chenxing to shoot nonstop, which saves a lot of time in reloading, and improves her dps quite a bit.

 Shadow Ka
Support
When you spawn Shadow Ka's mummy, you get another target to apply your marks, which also boosts the dmg the boss receives.


‎ ‎ ‎ Chenxing - Jade Arc | Coming Jan 23rd
She still hasn't released, will update when she comes.
‎ ‎ ‎ Cherno - Enigma
Enigma is a limited banner skill dmg dps character, she does huge burst of dmg using her standard skill, which allows her to do some crazy stuff like skipping phases from bosses from the massive dmg she does. She's the reason new bosses have invunerability phases, this should tell you she's just on another level, I highly recommend getting her. As she's one of, if not THE best dps in the game (at least when fully invested).

Special: When dealing dmg to an enemy, they have a “moon” counter which fills with “Enmity stacks”, the more of these they have, the higher the DoT and Detonation dmg will be.

Standard skill: Spawn up to 3 orbs that deal dmg, pulls enemies, and do damage over time. You can hold the skill to detonate the orbs that are on the field, dealing dmg and clearing all Enmity stacks and orbs from the field. (Try to always detonate them at full enmity stacks)
Support skill: Slows and knocks ups enemies in an area in front of Enigma.
Ultimate skill: Summon an attack that deals dmg, slow and inflicts enemies with 100 stacks of Enmity. If there are less than 3 orbs on the field, spawns them around the target.

Deiwos passive: Deal 15%/20%/25%/30% of Cherno’s ATK + 0.1% x number of Enmity stacks as dmg to enemies, counts as standard skill dmg (Increases 5% of Cherno’s ATK for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 1-2, 5-6 and 3-4
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Mid/High priority, gives more DMG per burst with your standard skill the more orbs are near the enemy when they explode)
  • Elemental Damage: Chaos DMG

Weapons

Weapon
Found In
5* Uninvited Adieu
Limited gacha
5* 100 Battle Veteran
Standard gacha
4* Halo of Hope
Arms Hub Exchange
T5 3* Tension Headache
Gacha


Uninvited Adieu is about 30% better than T5 Halo of Hope, and 100 Battle Veteran is only slightly better than Halo of Hope (10-15% difference). It's highly recommended to get her signature weapon.

Logistics sets
  • Dziady (DPS): Best logistic set for Enigma, as it was made for her.
Substat priority
ATK (10%) >> Alignment Index (106).
NOTE: Alignment Index only increases DoT damage.
3rd substat must be Chaos DMG (8.5%).
Thebes CAN'T COMPARE to Dziady, only use Thebes if you don't have any other options.



Team Composition for: Cherno - Enigma
 Operative
 Role

   Exuvia
Support
Sub~DPS
As Enigma builds stacks by shooting and using her skill, it charges and triggers Exuvia's support skill dmg. Who also buffs Enigma's skill dmg.

   Kaguya
Support
Acacia can increase Enigma's burst dmg if she uses her support skill before Cherno makes her spheres explode.

   Riptide
Support
As long as you bring her on your team, Cherno's standard skill dmg will be increased. Riptide will get charges a bit slower compared to other operatives.

The Magician
Support
Battery
Tess uses her ultimate to quickly generate U-Energy, then Enigma uses hers and her dmg will increase thanks to Tess's buffs


‎ ‎ ‎ Eatchel - The Cub | ON BANNER
Eatchel is a limited banner healer and support. I'd say she's the best generalist in the whole game, as she can do decent dmg, has enough healing power to survive almost any attack, and buffs your team's ATK, she can fit in any team and also she's really cute. She guarantees your squad's survival. If you want the best healer in the game. Make sure to get her

Special: Eatchel grants your team a healing circle which passively heals your operatives. She also has “Icebound Claws” which buff your whole squad’s ATK passively, these are obtained after dealing dmg with her ultimate skill and go away overtime or when your deployed operative takes dmg.

Standard skill: Pulls enemies infront of Eatchel and grants her 2 special shots that can pierce enemies.
Support skill: Deals dmg, stun enemies and heals nearby operatives in an area. When skill is on cooldown, Eatchel’s passive healing disappears.
Ultimate skill: Clears all “Icebound Claws” and launches an ATK that knocks up and deals dmg to enemies. The more dmg you deal, the more Icebound Claws you get, up to 5. And the more U-Energy you consume, the longer these Claws will last

Deiwos passive: Increase Healing Bonus by 12.5%/15%/17.5%/20% (Increases 6% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 3-4, 5-6 and 1-2
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority for her signature weapon) and M3 (Low priority, increases the ATK buff your claws give).
  • Elemental Damage: Kinetic DMG

Her signature weapon gives your whole squad a 1080 ATK buff, and 1800 ATK when at T2. She can buff your operatives by just existing which is really cool!
Tiny Grains can also be used as an alternative to Rock Python, as it provides more healing.
For 4* alternatives use Lapis Lazuli for an ATK buff, or Rock Python for more healing at M1.

Logistics sets
  • Lux (Support/Healer): Her best set, it increases her healing and the dmg buff she provides.
  • Amarna (Support): Gives your main dps a dmg buff after using her support skill
Substat priority
ATK (10%) > Alignment Index (106). Consider Skill Haste (19.3) when equipping Amarna logistics or using on-field.
3rd substat should be Healing Bonus (10.6%).
The buff her claws give depends on her ATK and Healing stats.

Along with Tess, you can quickly use Eatchel's ultimate to get her claws stack to max at the start of battle, giving you a big ATK buff and also more healing


‎ ‎ ‎ Enya - Exuvia
Exuvia is a limited banner support and sub-dps, she specializes in buffing character that do dmg using skill damage, such as Enigma, Wild Hunt, Agave, etc. Her use is a bit limited but she's really good in the right team. Remember to shoot every once in a while inside her circle!

Standard skill: Throws a electric wall which charges forward, deals dmg and paralyzes any enemies it hit. (this paralyzed doesn’t affect bosses)
Support skill: Spawns a circle that boosts the skill dmg of operatives standing inside it, also has a green hexagon that can be charged by shooting, and its stacks are consumed when dealing skill dmg, which deal extra dmg to the enemy. Try to shoot every once in a while to make Exuvia deal dmg and activate your logistics buffs.
Ultimate skill: Make your deployed operative enter a Pod, where they’re invulnerable and are healed. The pod deals dmg around it, and when it explodes, paralyzes nearby enemies. It can explode early if you press the skill button again.

Deiwos passive: Full squad’s skill dmg increases by 6%/8%/10%/12% (Increases 1% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 3-4, 5-6 and 1-2
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Low/mid priority, increases dmg made by dps operative), M3 is also good if you use her sig/event weapon.
  • Elemental Damage: Electrical DMG

Weapons


Weapon
Found In
5* Abyssal Light

5* Abyssal Light is 10-25% stronger than T5 4* Tribute of Light depending on your main dps. It works best when Exuvia's paired with units that deal dmg with their skills.
After reaching M3, prefer using Tribute of Rose over Prismatic Igniter.

Logistics sets
  • Amarna (Support) Used with Exuvia, you can have Amarna's buff with 100% uptime.
  • Areca (Support/Sub-DPS): Use it if you already have another support with Amarna, or if Exuvia's using an Electrical DMG pistol.
  • Twilight (Support): It's an option if your main dps deals Electrical DMG.
Substat priority
ATK (10%) > Alignment Index (106).
3rd substat should be Electrical DMG (8.5%).

‎ ‎ ‎ Fenny - Coronet
Coronet is a standard banner ballistic dmg dps, she is probably the best option for the 5* selector you get in the early game, as she doesn't require many resources to do big dmg, and she's still in the meta today thanks to Starshine's support, if you didn't get her in the selector you'll eventually get her so don't worry too much.

Standard skill: Enter a state where the more you shoot, the higher your fire rate will be, these stacks decrease when you stop shooting. In this state, Coronet deals less dmg to destructible parts.
Support skill: Increase the firerate of the deployed operative.
Ultimate skill: Spawns an area around Coronet that follows her, deals dmg and paralyzes enemies hit by it.

Deiwos passive: Each shot has a 25% to fire an extra pellet, and Crit Rate increases by 7%/14%/21%/28% (Increases by 4% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-1, 5-6 and 4-3
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority, increases standard skill duration when shooting). M3 can be a good stopping point if you use her a lot.
  • Elemental Damage: Electrical DMG

Logistics sets

Starshine allows Coronet to shoot nonstop, while also buffing her dmg. You won't stop shooting when pairing these two lol.

Shadow Ka
Support
With Shadow Ka at M1, she makes all shotgun shots have 100% crit chance, and she also ignores any resistances the enemy has, so you can just melt the enemy by shooting Mauxir's mummy.


‎ ‎ ‎ Fenny - Starshine
Starshine is a limited banner ballistic dmg support, she removes the need of reloading, which allows operatives to shoot non-stop, this helps operatives like Coronet which were held back by the time they needed to reload to become meta in modes like neural sim. I highly recommend getting her.

Standard skill: Depending on your movement when using this skill, it grants Starshine different kind of magazines:
Sideways: Increases bullet dmg.
Forward: Grants AOE to bullets, decreases fire rate.
Backwards: Increases S-Energy recovery from shooting.
Support skill: Grants your deployed operative a special magazine and increases their ATK, these cannot stack with other special clips effects (Ex: Little Sunshine’s support skill or Winter Solstice ultimate)
Ultimate skill: Fires a laser that deals Kinetic dmg and restores S-Energy after being used.

Deiwos passive: When equipped with a Kinetic Weapon, increases squad’s Ballistic DMg by 6%/8%/10%/12% (Increases by 1% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 4-3, 6-5 and 2-1 (prefer 2-1 over 6-5 if you want to use her on-field).
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority, gives buff depending on main dps's weapon). All of her manifestations are useful, M2 can be a good stopping point.

‎ ‎ ‎ Fritia - Hush
Hush is a standard banner ultimate skill dmg dps, her damage comes from her ult which is a big laser that does more dmg the longer you use it, she needs a lot of resources to be usable, so i'd recommend building her only if you like her (just like I did). She works best with Tess, a support that generates U-Energy, if you have both. You could consider building them to beam enemies.

Standard skill: Throws a chain that stuns, burns and brings nearby enemies closer.
Support skill: Grants deployed operative stacks that reduce the dmg they take.
Ultimate skill: Shoot a laser that increases its dmg the longer it hits an enemy. It consumes more U-Energy the longer its used. In this state Hush cannot move.

Deiwos passive: Increase squad’s Max U-Energy by 20, decreases Hush U-Energy consumption by 3.5%/7%/10.5%/14% (Decreases by 2% for each 100 Alignment index)
  • Neuronics priority: 6-5, 2-1 and 3-4.
  • Manifestation level: M3 (High priority, increases her ultimate duration and dmg), M4 is also good, but M3 can be a good stopping point.
  • Elemental Damage: Thermal DMG

‎ ‎ ‎ Fritia - Turbo
Turbo Hare is a limited banner ballistic dmg dps, she specializes in fast movement and stationary aimbot attacks, despite using a sniper rifle, she's good in both close ranged and long ranged encounters, which makes her really fun to use to quickly explore and beat most stages in the game which require going to one place to another. You're never gonna stop moving when using her (except when you need to shoot lol) Fritia gotta go fast!

Special: When dodging, Turbo enters a running state where she charges up to 3 “Supercharge" stacks, which are used by her Standard and Ultimate skill. In this state, she can dodge again to dash to a direction, and keep the running state active for longer. PD: Use standard skill for single targets, and ultimate skill for mobbing.

Standard skill: Turbo stops moving, and enters an “aim assist” mode, where it’ll automatically target the enemies spot nearest to your crosshair. The number of shots you get depend on how many stacks of "Supercharge" you had while running. Make sure to shoot their weakspot.
Support skill: Turbo runs towards an enemy, deals dmg in an area and jumps backwards.
Ultimate skill: Uses up all of your "supercharges" and shoot an extra charged shot that damages enemies in an area, the more stacks of "Supercharge" it consumes when used, the higher the dmg will be.

Deiwos passive: For each 1 ammo capacity of equipped weapon, increases Chaos dmg by 1.5%/2%/2.5%/3% up to 20 stacks. (Increase 0.5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-5, 1-6 and 3-4
  • Manifestation level: M1 (Mid priority, increases standard skill dmg), all her manifestations increase her dmg a little bit, maybe stop at M2 or M3 depending on how much you use her.

Difference between 5* Sonic Flash and T5 4* Dream Weaver is about 25-40% dmg, it's very recommended to get her sig if you're gonna use her as a dps in your team.
With her signature, her stamina almost never runs out, so you can keep using her skill combo almost indefinitely.
5* Sonic Flash and 4* Dream Weaver have less stamina consumption when dodging, this alone makes them better options than T2 Chocolate Filling, which is a bit better than T5 4* Dream Weaver, but you'll run out of stamina sooner.

Logistics sets
  • Insight (DPS): Increases the dmg of her standard and ultimate skills, also increases crit dmg.
  • Dharma (DPS): Increases ballistic dmg when hipfiring, works with her standard skill aimbot. Less dmg than Insight overall.
Substat priority
ATK (10%) > Crit DMG (10.6%) > Alignment Index (106).

‎ ‎ ‎ Haru - Absconditus
Absconditus is a limited banner skill dmg dps, she's mostly used for mobbing as her skills allows her to defeat huge groups of enemies in a few slashes from her standard skill. She's only good for Fiend bosses, and she's a bit worse in multiplayer as lag makes you use your skills slower. Regardless, she's fun to use.

Standard skill: Create slashes in front of you, dealing dmg to multiple enemies at once. Each successful hit reduces the skill cooldown and generates a bit of S-Energy.
Support skill: Does a slash in front of you, that deal dmg, knocks up and stun the enemy.
Ultimate skill: Does a big slash in front of you, and makes you enter a state where you get 50 stacks, which are consumed when you spam both your standard and ultimate skills. When in this state, if you use your ultimate skill when the icon is glowing, you can get a few stacks back after hitting enemies with it.

Deiwos passive: When enemy doesn’t have a shield, and its health is lower than 16%/24%/32%/40% of Haru’s ATK. You deal true dmg equal to the targets current HP (Threshold increases by 10% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-1, 6-5 and 4-3.
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Mid priority, increases Absconditus's ATK when using skills) She's ok without any manifestations though.

Star Ocean is a good option for Haru, the problem is the firerate makes it unreliable to generate enough S-Energy to spam her skill. Regardless it's a good alternative.

Substat priority

Sub~DPS
As Haru uses her standard skill very often, you can generate Riptide's support skill charges quickly, which allows her to get on-field when Haru's skill is on cooldown. If you pair these two, prefer spamming the E button over holding it. As RIptide's ability requires you to press an ability button for it to charge.

  Exuvia
Support
Thanks to Exuvia's buff, Absconditus skill dmg is increased, she also triggers Exuvia's support skill dmg sometimes. But not as often as Haru doesn't shoot too much.

  Kaguya

Acacia's support skill gives resistance shred, and also brings enemies closer together, perfect to slash them all together with Haru's skills.


‎ ‎ ‎ Katya - Blue Bolt
Blue Bolt is a limited banner ballistic dmg dps, her arrival marked a before and after in Snowbreak, i'll leave you to investigate what I mean by that.
She's unique as being the only operative that uses crossbows, that have the advantage of never having to reload, making her a good dps option for most players as her usage is really simple, just shoot arrows until the enemy is defeated.

Special: Blue Bolt’s crossbow has infinite arrows and has 2 fire modes, normal arrows and explosive arrows (has slower fire rate, but gains AoE), these can be swapped by reloading. The enemy will be frozen if Blue Bolt shoots them enough times.

Standard skill: Use it to dash and enter turret mode, where you have increased fire rate. The duration depends on how much S-Energy (the blue bar at the bottom-left) you have.
Support skill: Shoot an arrow that freezes enemies in an area.
Ultimate skill: Spawns a barrage in an area, which deals dmg. It also tracks the enemies as they move.

Deiwos passive: Shots have a 20%/25%/30%/35% chance to deal 35% of ATK + 200 as additional frost dmg, this extra dmg increases further when shooting a frozen target. (The ATK% increases by 7% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 1-2, 5-6 and 4-3
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority, increases rate of fire), M2 and M3 are also nice to have but not priority.
  • Elemental Damage: Frost DMG

‎ ‎ ‎ Katya - Dawnwing | ON BANNER
Dawnwing is a limited banner skill dmg dps, her damage comes from the crystal she spawns with her standard skill. Compared to old Katya this one uses an Assault Rifle which is a shame, but oh well she's most likely the strongest Frost dps character in the game now anyways. She does seem to require quite a bit of investment to do big dmg, so keep this in mind. Overall she seems good against single target enemies rather than mobbing where she struggles a bit. Her skill is kinda hard to understand please forgive me for the yapfest below.

Standard skill: Use this skill to dash and spawn a crystal that deals dmg where it spawns, if you hold the button, or press it again while dashing, you spawn 2 extra crystals, but these won’t have the spawn dmg. You can have up to 12 crystals on the field, in the middle of your screen, the skill icon will fill up overtime and when shooting. When it’s full, if you shoot a target they’ll get shot by 3 of the crystals on the field, these crystals will disappear after shooting. Always try to have at least 6 crystals on field at all times.
Support skill: Jump backwards and shoot 2 times towards a target. Dealing dmg and freezing the enemy.
Ultimate skill: Do an attack that deals dmg and freezes enemies, if you have crystals on field, up to 6 will also shoot whoever is hit by your ultimate first. And after using it you replenish all standard skill charges.

Deiwos passive: When equipped with a Frost weapon, increase Dawnwing’s ATK by 1.5%/3%/4.5%/6% for each Crystal on the field, up to 6 stacks. (ATK increases by 1% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 1-2, 6-5 and 3-4
  • Manifestation level: M3 (High Priority, increases your crystals dmg shots) Is required to reach the dmg of meta units. Otherwise her dmg is still ok for most content at M0.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Lyfe - Infinite Sight
Infinite Sight is a limited banner ballistic and skill dmg dps, she has the highest sustained dps numbers in the game, which allows her to just melt enemies and bosses in a matter of seconds, she's just, amazing. Also her kit and abilities are really smooth and fun to use. She's one of the best dps in the game. If you see her rerun coming, you better get her. You won't regret it.

Special: Her skill icon will fill up when shooting or after using her standard skill, when its full, dodge to unleash a barrage of bullets to any nearby enemies. The shooting + dodge combo is where most of her dps comes from. It deals less dmg if IS has less than 10 ammo when performing the dodge shot.

Standard skill: When used, IS will dash, dealing dmg around her and marking any enemies hit. When they’re marked, they receive more dmg from Lyfe’s dodge skill. Some bosses can have multiple marks on them, so you deal even more damage when using dodge shot.
Support skill: Do a piercing attack infront of you, that deals dmg and stuns enemies.
Ultimate skill: Makes IS start spinning and deal dmg in a big area around her. Really good for mobbing, the more enemies are marked by your skill, the lower the U-Energy cost will be.

Deiwos passive: When doing the dodge shot, and having more than 10 ammo when using it. Final dmg will increase by 100%/112/124%/136% of normal shot dmg. (Increase by 10% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-1, 6-5 and 3-4

‎ ‎ ‎ Lyfe - Wild Hunt
Wild Hunt is a standard banner ballistic and skill dmg dps, without upgrades she's pretty underwhelming, but once you invest some resources on her, she turns into a really good sustain dps if you manage to keep her skill active. Especially against enemies that get frozen such as titans, really fun to use. And she can be a pretty decent support too!

Standard skill: This skill uses Snow stacks, as your drones shoot these stacks will be consumed, it duration ends when you run out of stacks. When at M1, when you shoot you regain some of these charges, hitting weakspots makes you regain stacks faster.
Support skill: Does a slash that damages and freezes enemies in front of you
Ultimate skill: Does an attack in a big area in front of you, dealing decent burst dmg and freezing any enemies it hits.

Deiwos passive: DMG dealt to frozen targets increases by 150%. Wild Hunt’s skill dmg increases by 3.5%/7%/10.5%/14% (Increase by 3% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 1-2, 5-6 and 3-4 (For support build use 3-4, 5-6, 1-2)
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority, makes skill last way longer if you hit your shots). The rest upgrade her skill dmg and duration so are optional. If used as a support she's good at M0.

‎ ‎ ‎ Marian - Riptide
Riptide is a limited banner sub-dps and standard skill dmg support, she seems to work well with operatives that spam their standard skill, and acts as a extra dmg that can help you finish off enemies with her big dmg special bullets. She can passively boost your operative's standard skill DMG and also grants a bit of resistance shred, overall a decent operative. She's meant to rotate in, shoot, then rotate out. She works well for most content. Especially if you don't have any other 5* supports for your main dps.

Special: When Riptide is not on the field, her skill gains charges passively and when your on-field operative uses their standard skill, up to a max of 4 charges. Her passives buff your on-field operative’s standard skill dmg, and grants a bit of resistance shred.

Standard skill: Grants Riptide a “Kraken shell” which does extra dmg and improves your fire rate. When dealing dmg, this skill’s cooldown gets reduced.
Support skill: When it’s used, Riptide turns into the on-field operative, and gains Kraken Shells, the number depends on how many skill charges you had before using this skill. If you use it when you have 4 charges, you gain an extra Kraken Shell.
Ultimate skill: Riptide throws grenades in front of her, which explode up to 3 times and deal dmg in an area.

Deiwos passive: When equipped with a Chaos weapon, increases squad’s standard skill dmg by 5%/10%/15%/20% (Increases by 2% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 3-1, 5-6 and 2-4
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Mid priority, increases Riptide's rate of fire and temporarily increases your squad's skill dmg when getting support skill charges). M3 also helps getting charges faster.

5* Abyssal Nymph buffs Riptide's and the whole squad's standard skill dmg when she's off-field. While 4* Opal Prism only buffs Riptide's dmg.
Any chaos dmg shotgun can be used for if you don't have Opal Prism yet to activate her Deiwos passive.
Lapis Lazuli can be a good alternative to Opal Prism if you have it (Glad they fixed this!). Both have very similar dmg output.

Same as the last two, Agave spams her skill, which benefits from Riptide's buff, and also charges Riptide's skill. So she also allows you to rotate Riptide on the field.

Std Skill Ops
 DPS 
For these operatives, Riptide's mostly used for her passive buffs which reduce all-type resistances and buff standard skill dmg, so I don't recommend using her support skill when pairing her with: Enigma, Wild Hunt, Ksana, Ethereal Cloud, etc.


‎ ‎ ‎ Marian - Swift
Swift is a standard banner ballistic dmg dps, similar to Wild Hunt, she needs quite a bit of investment to do dmg, she's fun to use tho as her mechanic is fast movement + hipfiring enemies, so you're pretty mobile when using her combo.

Special: Her special combo changes depending if she’s M1 or not:
At M0 her combo should be: "ADS shot -> Standard Skill -> Hipfire shot -> Repeat"
At M1 it changes to: "ADS shot -> Standard Skill -> Hipfire shot -> Standard Skill -> Hipfire -> Standard Skill -> Hipfire -> Repeat".

Standard skill: Shot a mark to an enemy, when this mark is applied, you’re able to do an accurate hipfire shot and deal extra dmg to them. Try to hit their weakspot before using this to guarantee your shots deal the most dmg.
Support skill: Fire a shot that deals dmg, knocks up and interrupts the targets it hits.
Ultimate skill: Fire a powerful piercing shot that knocks up enemies and decrease their DEF%. It also reloads Swift’s magazine after use

Deiwos passive: When hitting a weakspot, ignores 75/150/225/300 of the targets DEF. (Ignores an extra 30 DEF for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 1-2, 5-6 and 4-3
  • Manifestation level: M1 (Medium priority, makes her combo way more satisfying). If you like her you can get her to M3 as a good stopping point.
  • Elemental Damage: Kinetic DMG

Weapons

Standard gacha
4* Wetland Park
Daily shop, gacha
T5 3* The Wrench

Wetland Park is your best 4* option, as other Sniper Rifles require ADS to use their buffs. Use it until you get her Horn of the Orca

Logistics sets
  • Dharma (DPS): Using her standard skill + hipfire combo this is the best set.
  • Amano-Iwato (DPS): Play as a standard sniper character (only ADS shots), if you use this set, use other weapon like 4* Crystal Drill.
  • Xinye (Battery): Spam your combo to quickly gain U-Energy.
Substat priority
ATK (10%) > Skill Haste (19.3) > S-Energy Recovery (14.1%). Consider U-Energy Recovery (14.1%) in battery build.
3rd substat should be Kinetic DMG (8.5%).

  Operative

The Magician
Support
Battery
Quickly use Tess's and Swift's ultimate to reduce the enemies DEF% stat, which inturn increases Swift's overall dmg

 Shadow Ka
Support
With Shadow Ka's mummy, it makes shooting the enemies with Swift even easier. While also increasing the dmg they receive.

   Riptide
Sub~DPS
Contrary to every other team that use Riptide, this one is focused on Riptide's sub dps capabilities, who gets her skills charges thanks to Swift using her skill really quickly. Not that good synergy, but they kinda work.

Ult~based Ops
  DPS
Swift can be used as a U-Energy Battery thanks to her fast shooting, can't generate it as fast as Tess though. She works ok with operatives like Hush or Winter Solstice.


‎ ‎ ‎ Mauxir - Shadow Ka
Shadow Ka is a limited banner ballistic and skill dmg support, she's the best support for ballistic dmg dps as she boosts all dmg dealt when atacking her mummy, and thanks to her ability being static, she makes annoying mobile bosses like Ni-Mech or Esther trivial, for neural sim speedruners, she's their best asset. One of the best supports of the game hands down.

Standard skill: Hold the skill to start spinning a “Kebechet”, after a while it charges to max, when the skill button is released, Mauxir will throw it towards the enemies, dealing dmg and knocking them up. The more its charged, the bigger the area of dmg will be.
Support skill: Wrap a target and link it to a “Kebechet” (or mummy), any dmg dealt to it will be transferred to the enemy in a rate of 110% of dmg (120% at M5). This dmg can be ballistic or skill dmg. This ability can end early if enemy triggers an invunerability state.
Ultimate skill: Slows and damages enemies in front of Mauxir. And increases their final dmg taken.

Deiwos passive: On-field operative accumulates 1 stack each second, after 10 stacks makes the next shot have 100% Crit rate and increases Crit dmg by 20%/40%/60%/80%. After shooting the stacks are consumed. (Increases Crit dmg by 20% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 4-3, 5-6 and 1-2
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority, boosts crit rate by shooting to the mummy). M3 is also recommended as it increases her support skill duration, and if you want the best Neural Sim times, go for M5.
  • Elemental Damage: Chaos DMG

Weapons




Weapon
Found In
5* Alloy Truth
Limited gacha
4* Frigatebird
Daily shop, gacha
4* Wave
Arms Hub Exchange
T5 3* Tension Headache
Gacha





Alloy Truth is the best support weapon in the game, I recommend getting it even if you don't have Shadow Ka
Alloy Truth performs 100% better than T5 Wave (yes really)
Depending on your ATK substats, dfference between T1 Alloy Truth and T5 Frigatebird is about 20-60% more/less dmg buff
In order from best to worst: T1/T2 Alloy Truth > T1/T5 Frigatebird > T5 Wave*
*Once Shadow Ka reaches M3, use Wave instead of Frigatebird to activate M3's effect.

Logistics sets
  • Amarna (Support): After using her skill, destroy the boss by shooting the mummy thingy.
  • Twilight (Support): If your main dps does chaos dmg, can work.
Substat priority
Max HP (10%) = ATK (10%) > Alignment Index (106) = Skill Haste (19.3).
NOTE: Only go for Max HP when using her signature weapon or at M3, or for ATK if using Frigatebird.
NOTE 2: Prefer Index if you can defeat the boss in 1 support skill use, otherwise use Skill Haste for faster cooldown.
3rd substat should be Chaos DMG (8.5%).



Team Composition for: Mauxir - Shadow Ka
  Operative
 Role

 Infinite Sight
 DPS 
Thanks to Shadow Ka's mummy, it gives Infinite Sight another target to shoot and mark with her skill, which increases her dmg output by quite a bit.

   Coronet
 DPS 
Doing dmg with Coronet has never been easier, just shoot the mummy and watch the enemy's hp bar go down really quickly!
  
Winter Solstice
 DPS 
As Shadow Ka's M1 makes all sniper and shotgun shots have 100% crit rate, she is one Winter Solstice's best teammates, increasing her dmg output by quite a bit.

  Other Ops
 DPS 
Shadow Ka buffs her allies when she spawns her mummy, who can also receive dmg from skills, so she also works with: Ksana, Etheral Cloud, Enigma, Swift, Turbo, etc.


‎ ‎ ‎ Siris - Ksana
Ksana is a limited banner skill dmg dps, at release she was ok, but after she received some buffs, she's a burst dmg menace similar to Enigma, able to outright delete a boss's health bar with the use of 1 ultimate, and her kit allows her to spam it nonstop so, you can beat almost any content easily with her, and with her standard skill, she's also great at mobbing, all around a really overpowered unit if you ask me. Compared to other operatives, she doesn't need much investment to do big dmg. One of the best dps characters in the game.

Special: Ksana has 2 type of stacks, a diamond that increases her ATK, and a bar that increases the ultimate dmg. You receive stacks for the diamond by increasing and decreasing the bar stacks which are gained by doing dmg with your skills, and decreased when using her ult. So make sure to use your abilities very often.

Standard skill: Makes Ksana start running and charging ahead with a shield, which can push enemies, after a few seconds her shield will charge, in this state, you can press the skill button again to shoot, breaking the shield and dealing big dmg to any targets it hits. If you break the shield and hit any target, the cooldown is reset.
Support skill: Knocks up enemies near you, and grants your squad a shield.
Ultimate skill: Stops time, and targets up to 5 enemies, then deals massive dmg in the area where the targets were. The damage depends on how many bar stacks you have up to a max of 100 (120 when at M1). Doing any damage also decreases this abilities cooldown.

Deiwos passive: When bar stacks increase or decrease to 20, Siris gains 1 stack of the diamond: Increases Siris ATK by 0.5%/1%/1.5%/2%. Max 20 stacks, consumed every 5 seconds (Increases ATK by 0.5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-5, 6-1 and 3-4
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority, increases her ult dmg and stacks charge rate). It's recommended to get her to M3 to make her do more dmg. Although she does ok without any manifestations.
  • Elemental Damage: Thermal DMG

T1 5* Crowned Flail is about 15-25% stronger than T5 4* Scarabei.
Ksana requires a Thermal dmg Shotgun to use her kit properly, so you can't use other alternatives like Discordance

Logistics sets
  • Scarab (DPS): Her tailor-made logistics set, nothing else comes close.
Substat priority
Max HP (10%) >> ATK (10%) > Alignment Index (106). Consider Skill Haste (19.3) for faster ultimate cooldown.
3rd substat should be Thermal DMG (8.5%).



Team Composition for: Siris - Ksana
 Operative
 Role

  Exuvia
Support
With Ksana, you won't be shooting most of the time, so Exuvia's only used for her skill dmg buffs, remember to stand on the circle and keep spamming skills! You can also shoot every once in a while to charge Exuvia's support skill before bursting with Ksana's ult to deal a bit more dmg.

  Kaguya
Support
After shreding the enemies resistances, Kaguya can make Ksana's dmg increase by quite a bit.

   Tess
Support
Ksana doesn't really need Tess for her fast U-Energy Recovery, but rather for her buffs when using her ultimate, which she spams, a lot.

  Riptide
Support
For this team, Riptide is mostly used for her passive buffs, I don't recommend bring her on-field as Ksana's dps will be affected negatively most of the time.


‎ ‎ ‎ Tess - The Magician
Tess is a limited banner U-Energy battery and support, she specializes in U-Energy recovery, basically, makes you use your operatives ult faster, this is useful for characters that depend on their ult to do most dmg like Winter Solstice, Hush, among others. Even ignoring her battery abilities, using her ultimate skill along with your other operatives can boost your team's damage for some time, which is useful on any team. A really good support, she does need a bit of investment to really shine so keep that in mind.

Standard skill: Throw cards that have different effects depending on the color of the card, these can be changed after shooting.
Support skill: After use, allows deployed operative to Stun, Slow, Paralyze, Freeze or Burn the enemies depending on the elemental dmg your operatives deal.
Ultimate skill: After its used, Tess will shoot the enemy you’re shooting at too, if the shot connects, it grants you U-Energy, after the skill duration ends, all remaining U-Energy disappears.

Deiwos passive: When Tess is off-field, if current U-Energy is less that 50%, her U-Energy Recovery increases by 5%/10%/15%/20%, if current U-Energy is more than 50%, the squad’s S-Energy Recovery increases by 5%/10%/15%/20% (Increase proportion an extra 5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 6-5, 4-3 and 1-2
  • Manifestation level: M1 (High priority for faster U-Energy recharge). M2 immediately grants you U-Energy after using her ult. M3 is a good for units like Hush to keep their skills up for longer.
  • Elemental Damage: Electrical DMG

It's recommended to get Eccentric Joker, as it gives you 24 more U-Energy in total (40 at T2), and gives you a dmg boost using her ult.
For 4* weapons, if you need more U-energy use Wasp, for an ATK buff, use Deep Sea's Call.

Logistics sets
  • Hjartagard (Support/Battery): Tess's event logistics set, gives you a buff when using ultimate skill.
Substat priority
U-Energy Recovery (14.1%) > Alignment Index (106). Consider ATK (10.6%) when equipping Deep Sea's Call

Actually, she generates so much U-Energy she can be used by literally everyone, some benefit more than others for using their ults, regardless, your squad's dmg will increase after they're used


‎ ‎ ‎ Vidya - Agave
Agave is a limited banner skill dmg dps and parts breaker, the first of her kind, made specifically to counter bosses like Joseph - Hardened that are time-gated by their breakable parts. Other than that, she has an ok dmg output, not as crazy as the meta, but she's still good, and still the only operative that focuses on breaking parts at the moment. (Tbh I think shotguns are better lol)

Standard skill: Hold or spam her skill button to start firing a projectile that deals dmg and knocks up enemies, the skill has 4 phases, the higher the phase, the higher the dmg will be, and the skill icon will change for each phase. If the enemy hit by it has destructible parts, the dmg is also received by them, up to 2 can be damaged by 1 projectile. This skill can be used as long as you have enough S-Energy.
Support skill: Knocks up enemies in front of you, and buffs your squad’s ATK a bit.
Ultimate skill: Deals big dmg to enemies in front of Agave, the damage depends on the phase of her standard skill, so try to use it when at phase 4 for most damage.

Deiwos passive: When equipped with an Electrical weapon, increases Vidya’s skill dmg by 5%/10%/15%/20%. (Increase 4% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 2-1, 6-5 and 3-4
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Medium priority, boosts her skill dmg). M3 is also good, but you can focus on other characters by that point.

Healer
As you're kinda vulnerable using Agave's skill, Eatchel can help you not die. While also buffing your ATK stat.

  Exuvia

Exuvia increases Agave's dmg output thanks to her skill dmg buff. And could reduce the enemy's Electrical dmg resistance if equipped with Twilight logistics


‎ ‎ ‎ Yao - Nightglow | Coming Feb 6th
This operative hasn't released yet, will update when she comes.
‎ ‎ ‎ Yao - Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice is a standard banner ballistic and ult dmg dps, she's the classic sniper character where you ADS and just delete everything, she was the queen in Neural Sim when the game launched, she can still do quite a bit of damage with the right team and build so if you want her to be the best, you need to invest a bit into her, as well as getting her team together.

Standard skill: Grants a special bullet that does extra dmg. When at M1, it also works with her ultimate skill’s bullets.
Support skill: Damages in an area around Yao, and burns enemies hit by it.
Ultimate skill: Grants you big special bullets, when shooting, Yao can’t move and shots need to charge before firing. This state ends when you run out of bullets, or you can press the ultimate skill again to end it early.

Deiwos passive: The farther away the target is, the more dmg Yao deals, up to 4%/8%/12%/16%. (Increase an extra 3% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 1-2, 6-5 and 4-3

‎ ‎ ‎ Acacia - [Redacted]
[Redacted] is a standard banner 4* slow effect support, she should be the 3rd character you unlock. She's really good in early game thanks to her standard skill, and her support skill is always useful against enemies and bosses, as it slows them down, it makes dodging their attacks easier. Overall she's a really good support even with low investment.

Standard skill: Throws knives that deal dmg and bounce through enemies, if there’s only 1 enemy, it gets hit multiple times by the same knife.
Support skill: Throws a knife that can slow the targets. Can hit multiple targets if they’re near.

‎ ‎ ‎ Chenxing - The Observer
The Observer is a standard banner skill dmg support and healer, her main use resides on her support skill drones, which heals your operatives, sadly she gets outclassed by Quiet Quitter in this regard, so it's better to use her for her buffing capabilities more than anything especially after reaching M3, she's used in Underground Purge so i'd at least bring her there for her heals. You can also use her as a sub-DPS with her standard skill but don't expect crazy numbers.

Standard skill: Spawn up to 3 drones that continuously deal dmg.
Support skill: Spawns a totem that drops a talisman that heals the operative that picks it up. When near the totem, you receive 15% skill dmg at M1 (and 30% skill dmg after M3).
Ultimate skill: Spawn a big totem that increases the attack rate of your drones.

Deiwos passive: Increase Chenxing’s S-Energy Recovery by 6.5%/13%/19.5%/26% (Increase 6% more for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 3-4, 1-2, 6-5

  • Twilight (Support/Sub-dps?): Spawn her standard skill drones to lower the enemy's Electrical resistance, then swap to your main dps.

‎ ‎ ‎ Cherno - Those Two
Those Two is a standard banner slow effect support and sub-dps, she's an ok support similar to [Redacted] in that she can slow down enemies too, her kit is built around her ultimate ability, but even when fully built it is kinda underwhelming unless heavily invested, she can also be used as a ballistic dmg dps using 100 BV.

Standard skill: Damages, knocks up and slows enemies in a square in front of Cherno
Support skill: Turn into a fast moving phantasm, when passing through enemies they get slowed.
Ultimate skill: Spawns “Beloberg”, who hits enemies independently while draining Cherno’s HP after each attack.

‎ ‎ ‎ Enya - Big Sis
Big Sis is a standard banner support, she does ok damage in early game content, but falls off hard, even her support capabilities are kinda lacking thanks to Little Sunshine existing, use her only if you like her.

Special: Every 5 seconds Big Sis receives a stack up to a max of 10, after shooting an enemy, a projectile is fired at them. At M3 this effect can be activated by other operatives

Standard skill: Throw bombs infront of Enya, dealing dmg and knocking up enemies hit by it. Try getting close before using it to make an enemy take the whole skill dmg.

Standard skill: Dashes towards an enemy, dealing dmg and granting Lionheart a bullet. At M1, after defeating an enemy the skill cooldown is reset.
Support skill: Do an attack around Fenny, which deals dmg and knocks up enemies. Also recovers a few bullets if hit is successful.

‎ ‎ ‎ Fritia - Little Sunshine
Little Sunshine is a standard banner ballistic dmg support, she brings a lot of value for dps units that use ballistic dmg thanks to her support skill, she herself is also really good, her standard and ultimate skills do decent dmg. All around a really good character with a nice kit.

Standard skill: Creates pillar that deals dmg, knocks up and burns enemies in an area front of Fritia.
Support skill: Knocks up nearby enemies, and grants your on-field operative’s bullets extra thermal dmg. That can also burn enemies.

‎ ‎ ‎ Haru - The Ace
The Ace is a standard banner sub-dps (and support), compared to her 5* version, she's really underwhelming in terms of damage, even after being fully built she's only really useful in Paradoxical Labyrinth, I don't recommend to build her unless you really like her.

Standard skill: Target a single enemy to hit them 3 times, can be charged to do an extra hit. After a successful hit the skill cooldown is reset.
Support skill: Deals dmg to an enemy, if they’re defeated by this skill increases the squad’s ATK by 20% for 20 seconds.
Ultimate skill: Knocks up nearby enemies, and spawns a circle, where shots made by Haru trigger swords that deal dmg to the enemy. At M1 other operatives can also trigger this effect.

Deiwos passive: When Haru’s off-field, her skill dmg increases by 4%/8%/12%/16%. (Increase an extra 4% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 5-6, 3-4 and 1-2

‎ ‎ ‎ Lyfe - Wednesday
Wednesday is a standard banner "dps" and support, she's the first operative you receive alongside Lionheart, at early game she does ok damage, but her drones fall off due to their bad damage scaling, it's recommended to use her as a support as her paralize ability can be useful in quite a few situations.

Special: When Lyfe is on-field, a drone will automatically follow her and shoot enemies around. Drones spawned by her standard skill will also follow her, but they disappear after a while. If Lyfe gets off-field, the drones despawn until she gets on-field again.

Standard skill: Spawns up to 4 drones, and makes all of them shoot towards the targets the skill hits. These drones stick around for 20 seconds. After that they disappear
Support skill: Spawns a thunder that deals dmg, and paralyzes enemies for 4 seconds in the area it hits.
Ultimate skill: Creates an area where a lot of thunder strike, that deal dmg and knocks up enemies. Using this skill resets the drones duration.

Deiwos passive: Auxiliary Units Strenght of Lyfe increases by 9%/18%/27%/36% (Increase 5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 4-3, 5-1 and 2-6

If the enemy isn't immune to stuns, after being paralyzed it will take more dmg from your operatives if Wednesday is equipped with Navigator logistics.


‎ ‎ ‎ Marian - Queen of Pain
Queen of Pain is a standard banner ballistic dmg dps and "support", she is truly the standard sniper character in the game, with her skills focusing on accuracy and stealth, she's similar to Lionheart in how she doesn't need a lot of investment, but lacks a bit of damage if you can't hit weakspots all time. She's ok but can't compare to the likes of Winter Solstice and Swift. She can also be used as a support, but there are better options (see [Redacted] and Those Two).

Special: Deals extra dmg when shooting while ADS.

Standard skill: Enter a stealth mode, and leave a fake Marian at your location which taunts enemies and explodes after the skill duration ends. At M1 if you shoot while in stealth, you deal extra dmg.
Support skill: Shoots a bullet that deals dmg, does more damage to unshielded enemies and also reduces the targets Chaos dmg resistance.
Ultimate skill: Hold this skill to enter aim assist mode, where you can target any of the enemy’s weakspots, then release it to shoot a powerful bullet to them. If there’s a fake Marian on the field and you use this skill she will also shoot the target.

Deiwos passive: After Marian stops moving for 1.5 seconds, increases ADS Ballistic DMG by 3.5%/7%/10.5%/14%. (Increases 2.5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 6-5, 1-3, and 4-2 (Prefer 4-3, 6-5, 1-2 if using her as support)

‎ ‎ ‎ Mauxir - Meow
Meow is a standard banner support and dps, her kit is kinda weird, but does ok damage for a 4*, she has great synergies with skill dps characters like Absconditus as she can spawn another target for you to hit, she herself can also be a good ballistic dmg dps with the right build, but she does need quite a bit of investment. PD: Her abilities treat shields separate from health, so try using her skills after breaking enemies shields.

Standard skill: Bring an enemy’s “Ego” out, spawns an orange orb which can be shot only by Mauxir, makes the enemy share the dmg taken with the orb.
Support skill: Brings an enemy “Ego” out, spawns a blue orb which can only be damaged by other operative’s skill dmg. These Egos also spawn when enemies are affected by CC. (Ex: Getting knocked up).
Ultimate skill: After being used, if the enemy’s health is lower than Mauxir’s, they get immediately executed. If their health is higher, then Mauxir deals extra dmg for 10 seconds. If upgraded, the extra dmg is also received by other operatives.
Deiwos passive: Max HP of Mauxir increases by 4%/8%/12%/16%. (Increases by 5% for each 100 Alignment Index)

  • Neuronics priority: 4-3, 6-5 and 2-1 (prefer 2-1, 6-5 and 4-3 when using her as dps)
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Medium priority) M3 is also good. IMPORTANT: If you use her as a support don't unlock her M5.

If you want to focus on her Execution threshold, use Hypochlorous Acid for more HP.

Logistics sets

  • Eli (DPS): Use this only with Stardust Memory, shoot the enemy's "ego" to get dmg buffs.
  • Twilight (Support): Reduces the enemies Frost dmg resistance.

‎ ‎ ‎ Nita - Hands
Nita is a standard banner character, i'm not really sure if she has any roles, maybe shielder? Her damage is really underhwelming even when fully invested, similar to The Ace she's ok on Paradoxical Labyrinth. Her standard ability is good on Star Master too, don't build her unless you like her. Hopefully her 5* is good when it comes out.

Standard skill: Does a swirl attack and brings enemies closer, gives Nita shields for 5 seconds if an enemy is hit.
Support skill: Dash towards a target and interrupts them. Also grants deployed operative a shield for 5 seconds.
Ultimate skill: Does an attack in an area in front of Nita, dealing dmg and stunning enemies.

Deiwos passive: Shield Construction Efficiency is increased by 10%/20%/30%/40%. (Increase by 5% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 4-3, 5-6 and 1-2 for support build. 1-2, 5-6 and 4-3 for dps.

Similar to The Ace, Nita can be used as an ok kinetic dmg support if using Twilight, so she works ok with operatives like Lionheart, Infinite Sight, Swift, etc.


‎ ‎ ‎ Siris - The Goldfish
The Goldfish is a standard banner support and shielder, if you're having trouble by getting swarmed by too many enemies her shields can soak up all the damage while keeping you safe, sadly her usage falls of against enemies with AOE attacks, and her ultimate can save you if you take too much dmg, overall a really good survival based unit that can help when you can't dodge enemies attacks. I prefer this Siris over Ksana character-wise tbh

Standard skill: Enter a state that reduces dmg taken, and after dodging grants 1 bullet that deals extra dmg.
Support skill: Spawns a barrier in front of Siris that can block bullets and enemy projectiles. When at M2, shooting through this barrier gives bullets extra Kinetic DMG
Ultimate skill: Grants Siris a shield, which reduces damage taken and increases her movement speed. If upgraded, it can also be used by other operatives.

Deiwos passive: Everytime an operative uses a skill, gain 1 stack that increases Siris’s Max HP by 0.25%/0.5%/0.75%/1%. Max of 30 stacks (Increase an additional 0.1% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 4-6, 5-1, 2-3
  • Manifestation level: M2 (Low priority, adds damage when shooting through her barrier), she works fine without any manifestations.
  • Elemental Damage: Kinetic DMG

‎ ‎ ‎ Yao - Quiet Quitter
Quiet Quitter is a standard banner healer and support, she's the 2nd best healer in the game just behind Eatchel, so you're probably gonna be using her for quite some time, especially in modes where health matters like Underground Purge, apart from that, she can also be used as an ATK buffer too so she is kinda flexible as a support.

Standard skill: Deploys a drone that grants QQ ammo and increased rate of fire.
Support skill: Spawns a drone that heals operatives in a circle, if upgraded, it follows them around.
Ultimate skill: Makes Yao take a nap, where she’s unable to do any actions until skill duration ends. In this state, she heals any operatives that are near her.

Deiwos passive: Increase the healing of her support skill drone by 4%/8%/12%/16%. (Increase an extra 4% for each 100 Alignment Index)
  • Neuronics priority: 3-4. 5-6 and 2-1

Olympus for more healing, Deep Sea's Call for an ATK buff.
When DSC is T5, the healing you receive is higher than using T1 Olympus so just recycle it at that point (make sure to level it to lvl 50 to get the weapon part too).

  • Moira (Healer): Makes your drone heal more.

  • Amarna (Support): Use this if your main dps deals ballistic dmg. You'll only receive the ballistic dmg buff from this set as her healing drone doesn't deal dmg.

I decided I build my Lyfe infinite sight next (got her and her signature weapon) and leave Mirian on lvl 60 so far. She is not the sniper type what I'd like to play, more like skillshot one.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawunao  [author] 22 Dec, 2024 @ 9:09am 
For Swift, I recommend starting her combo by ADS because this way you can guarantee her Cloud Shot (standard skill) will land on the enemy's weakspot. Its not always necessary, and you can skip this step and go "Skill > Hipfire Shot" instead in some cases.
Gorgoneus 22 Dec, 2024 @ 8:59am 
Thank you very much. So I need to aim after all.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawunao  [author] 22 Dec, 2024 @ 8:58am 
Hi, this is what each of those terms mean:

Ballistic dmg: All dmg coming from shooting your weapon
ADS (Aim Down Sights): Basically shooting while holding right click
Hipfire: Shooting without aiming (so no right click)

As for Fenny...
Coronet: Her shots count as ballistic dmg. She barely deals any skill dmg
Stashine: Similar story, her buffs only apply to ballistic dmg.
Lionheart: The damage after the dash is counted as skill dmg. The extra shot you receive counts as ballistic dmg.

Hopefully this answers your question.
Gorgoneus 22 Dec, 2024 @ 5:47am 
Good job, it's really helps. But can you tell the difference between basic ballistick attack (just LKM) and ADS? Also the hipshot or whatever in the Marian sniper build? I can recognise her skill E name, hipshot must be a sho without scoping my RMB, but what's the ADS? Does it both (kneeshot and ADS) considered as basic ballistic attacks?
and What about Fenny's shots during her skill E? Skill damage or ballistic?

For example I got Siris Ksana and your guide says Neuronics priority: 5-2, 6-1 and 3-4 and I can't understand what neuronics do I upgrade first
can you please help?
