Rank Evaluation Criteria Quick Reference Table

Rank	Evaluation Criteria Explanation
	• Practically mandatory performance across endgame PvE content • Single-target boss performance is heavily prioritized ↳ Most modes such as Cosmo Gate end immediately once the boss is defeated
	• Possesses potential on par with SSS in specific encounters • Top-meta performance in Gauntlet PvP or specialized boss mechanics • Consistently reliable contribution across all content
	• Very strong when stage mechanics or attribute advantages align ↳ Outside their niche, deployment flexibility is slightly narrower • Performs above average across general content
	• Solid average performance • Fully viable as a substitute for S-Rank or higher characters
	• Slightly lacking compared to top-meta options • Sees play when specific stage gimmicks match their kit
	• Needs future balance adjustments to compete ↳ Difficult to recommend as a priority substitute right now

Strongest Character Ranking Analysis

The Strongest Character is Amora!

The overall strongest character in Star Savior right now is Amora (Order Assassin).

Her high-multiplier Special Skill on a short 3-turn cooldown delivers top-class single-target burst damage while also offering AoE wave clear when needed, making her the strongest Attacker when stage gimmicks align.

Because she can cleanse debuffs from herself via her own passive and gains massive damage amplification while un-debuffed, she outputs top-tier damage independently without relying heavily on specific teammates—making her exceptional from beginner to endgame levels. While unremovable debuffs can temporarily suppress her bonus damage passive, she still stands head and shoulders above other Attackers.

▶Amora Evaluation, Skills & Best Equipment Builds

Professor M Scales With Overall Party Power

Professor M (Moon Ranger) triggers a Cross Attack from the ally with the highest ATK whenever conditions are met, pairing phenomenally well with Attackers who have strong Basic Skills.

Whenever allies attack, Professor M also gains Action Gauge and Cooling stacks, chaining directly into her 0-cooldown trigger Special Skill. When paired with high-turn-frequency carries like Amora or Bunnygirl Charlotte, her total team damage contribution is unmatched—though if your main Attacker is under-invested early on, her ceiling will naturally depend on your carry's stats.

▶Professor M Evaluation, Skills & Best Equipment Builds

Carmen: Eternal Promise Dominates on a Party-Wide Level

Carmen: Eternal Promise (Moon Supporter) boasts top-class healing and damage-sharing protection via her off-turn trigger skill, shining through overall team survivability and enabling fragile Attackers to play aggressively as pseudo-tanks.

■How to Use Alongside Asherah: Waltz of Starlight

While Carmen: Eternal Promise provides stronger raw healing and single-target damage redirection, her debuff cleanse is single-target. Using Carmen: Eternal Promise and Asherah: Waltz of Starlight depending on the boss—or running both together in high-difficulty raids—forms an unbreakable core.

▶Carmen: Eternal Promise Evaluation, Skills & Best Equipment Builds

Bunnygirl Charlotte is Consistently Powerful

Bunnygirl Charlotte (Sun Assassin) excels at sustained single-target damage: while holding her Special Skill's "Lucky Token", her Basic Skill strikes twice consecutively, and her Ultimate Skill features a cooldown reset mechanic.

Combined with her team-wide ATK buff and self-healing via Nova Burst, she is completely self-sufficient and fits effortlessly into any 4-unit composition.

▶Bunnygirl Charlotte Evaluation, Skills & Best Equipment Builds

Smile: Sunshine Cat Excels in Boss Battles

In single-target boss encounters, Smile: Sunshine Cat (Star Assassin) triggers high-frequency follow-up Special Skills by consuming 2 Leap Stacks—which she generates rapidly through her Nova Burst and her signature SSR Arcana "Vacation Prep Starts with Shopping!". Her Special Skill also inflicts Toughness damage, breaking boss shields effortlessly.

▶Smile: Sunshine Cat Evaluation, Skills & Best Equipment Builds

Asherah: Waltz of Starlight Has Slightly Dropped in Priority

Asherah: Waltz of Starlight (Order Supporter) remains an excellent healer/sub-DPS at LB1+, but because Cross Attacks can only trigger once per turn, running her alongside Professor M causes Professor M to consume the Cross Attack proc—reducing Asherah: Waltz of Starlight's Cross Attack healing and damage. In parties without Professor M, however, Asherah: Waltz of Starlight remains a top-tier Supporter.

Strongest Character Ranking Latest Update InfoNEW

1st Anniversary Debut: Witch of Favoritism (SSS) & Guile (SS)

Witch of Favoritism (Order Striker) debuts in SSS Rank (Tier 0) thanks to her defense-ignoring 180% ATK Boss Chain Fixed Damage (~50,000+ true damage per hit), Extra Turn on Toughness Break, and Afterimage Cleave cooldown reset loop. Free 1st Anniversary login Cosmic Caster Guile (Chaos Caster, #1 Base ATK 4,489) debuts in SS Rank with a permanent unremovable team-wide Break DMG aura (up to +30%) and Overture/Rhapsody/Finale Shatter support!

Newly Implemented: Maid Ceres (Sun Supporter)

Maid Ceres has been newly implemented as a Sun Attribute Supporter. She features two AoE healing skills, an extra-trigger Special Skill that grants continuous Regeneration, AoE debuff cleansing, and the first Supporter Ultimate Skill capable of buffing all allies' ATK.

■Low Single-Target Burst Healing is a Caveat

Because her kit is specialized around team-wide AoE healing and Regeneration over time, her single-target burst healing is relatively modest. Against endgame bosses that deal 30,000+ single-target critical hits, pairing her with a single-target healer or shielder is recommended.

Character	Quick Evaluation & Performance Breakdown
Bunnygirl Charlotte	[Attribute]Sun Attribute[Class]Assassin[Damage]Mental Damage [Analysis] •Attacker with additional activation of Basic Skill, Ultimate Skill CT reset, additional turns and moves. •Attack buff and defense penetration provide firepower (Great) Attack buff applies to all allies, so firepower support is also possible •You can also recover HP with the Ultimate Skill Nova Burst.
Carmen: Eternal Promise	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Supporter[Damage]Impact damage [Analysis] •Supporter who protects allies even outside of her own turn with trigger skills └Targets allies with the highest attack power •The recovery performance of Nova Burst and Ultimate Skill is high, and the single recovery performance is top class └Basic Skill effect can also recover the entire body •It is ideal to increase the number of moves by increasing the Action Gauge and recover the CT of the trigger skill as quickly as possible └It is also excellent to have multiple ways to increase the Action Gauge. •You can give cooling to Moon Attribute allies └Compatibility with characters that require cooling such as Bunnygirl Claire and Frey: Noble Princess (Great)
Smile: Sunshine Cat	[Attribute]Star Attribute[Class]Assassin[Damage]Elemental Damage [Analysis] •Possesses CT0 trigger skill •Chase down an enemy with a water gun •Additional attack with trigger skill up to 3 times after using Ultimate Skill └Skill effect does not activate only damage •Quite a lot of moves and excellent overall firepower
Amora	[Attribute]Order Attribute[Class]Assassin[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •A high-speed attacker who fights using Special Skills that can be used frequently and increased Action Gauge. •When it is not weakened, the damage dealt increases, and the weakening can be removed by yourself, so you can manage it alone └Weak to debuffs that cannot be removed •The unique buff "Night Blooming Flower" can be applied when the insight stack is at its maximum, but you must receive a debuff to accumulate the insight stack. •Although the compatibility with ↑ is delicate, reducing the hit rate itself is a very powerful effect └ Can indirectly support allies' durability by nullifying critical points and debuffs •CT6's Ultimate Skill requires additional turns and a lot of steps to begin with, so you can experience it faster. I'm concerned about the fact that buff turns are consumed quickly.
Professor M	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Ranger[Damage]Mental Damage [Analysis] •Attacker with a large amount of Action Gauge increase •Possesses a Passive that can induce a Cross Attack from an ally └It is also good to have an ally with the highest attack power •CT0 trigger skill makes it easy to generate firepower └Passive pincer to earn cooling and activate the trigger •Adds a debuff that increases damage dealt to the enemy with Ultimate Skill └Indirect contribution to party firepower
Witch of Favoritism	[Attribute]Order Attribute[Class]Striker[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •Break Attacker dealing ~50,000+ defense-ignoring Chain Fixed Damage (180% ATK vs Bosses) on Broken targets •Gains an Extra Turn once every 2 turns upon breaking Toughness and resets Special Skill cooldown when attacking Broken enemies •Shatter buff enables up to 6 Toughness shred on bosses with Afterimage Cleave; pairs naturally with free 1st Anniversary SSR Guile •Consumes Insight stacks to cut incoming damage by 30%, allowing frontline deployment in Gauntlet PvP and Boss raids

SS Rank (Tier 1) — 13 Characters

Character	Quick Evaluation & Performance Breakdown
Haydee	[Attribute]Star Attribute[Class]Defender[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •A defender who takes over some of the enemy's attacks. •The barrier's durability value is extremely high and greatly contributes to the party's durability └It is also excellent for reducing damage taken by reducing the hit rate. •Barrier and damage depend on defense power, so I want to prioritize defense, but I also want to have as much HP as possible because I will be taking on damage from my allies.
Dana	[Attribute]Star Attribute[Class]Caster[Damage]Elemental Damage [Analysis] •The combined buff of attack buff and Crit DMG is very powerful └It is relatively easy to maintain the buff and it is easy to maintain firepower. •Increase your firepower by giving attack power buffs to yourself and your allies └It is also good to overlap with composite buffs •Excellent in PVP to slow down all enemies •Can give speed increase to yourself when critical hit occurs └Increase own number of moves along with speed debuff
Bunnygirl Claire	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Striker[Damage]Impact damage [Analysis] •When cooling stacks are accumulated, additional attacks can be performed using Special Skills. •It is also great that you can easily use skills because you can accumulate 3 stacks with Special Skill. •The firepower of special moves increases as the enemy has more buffs. •I want to raise the Crit Rate because it is important to generate critical hits.
Asherah: Waltz of Starlight	[Attribute]Order Attribute[Class]Supporter[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •Supporter who can recover total HP and remove debuffs •Recover allies with low HP even with Basic Skill └By increasing pincer rate, you can also recover whenever an ally uses Basic Skill •Support performance is high due to increased Action Gauge •Contributes to firepower while being a supporter with special skills such as Cross Attacks and attacks. •Please note that Base (LB0) has weak Unique Passive, and LB1 (+1) or higher is almost required.
Emilly	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Defender[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •Excellent overall attack firepower with ultimate continuous fire & increased damage •High self-durability due to barrier created by Basic Skill burst └Durability further increased by utilizing hard potential •Support allies' durability by adding offensive and defensive buffs and barriers •Burst dependence and standalone support are delicate in automatic operation
Rosaria	[Attribute]Chaos Attribute[Class]Ranger[Damage]Elemental Damage [Analysis] •Strengthen your Special Skill with hellfire stacks •Ultimate Skill that has the first overall defense debuff └ Excellent combination with Basic Skill buff and speed buff •Although it is an overall attack, the multiplier is very high and it is also expected to have single firepower. •Special Skill triggers Basic Skill, Ultimate Skill increases Action Gauge and speed buff, making it easier to deal with. •Although it is only used once, the insurance effect that HP does not fall below 40% covers the durability aspect. └I also like the attack buff that extends the duration of turns depending on the Limit Break.
Fei	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Assassin[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •Counter attack attacker with constant evasion rate of 50% └ Activates trigger skill on successful evasion •Trigger skill can be hit repeatedly with CT0 └Be careful of the condition of once per turn •Her upward performance when she continues to succeed in evasion is top class among all characters └On the other hand, when her Revenge Attack does not occur, it is not good •Possesses a guaranteed hit that can ignore pre-emptive defense └Seems to be an essential character in strategy •It is strong that you can aim for an upside with content such as Cosmo Gate that you can try many times.
Tyria	[Attribute]Sun Attribute[Class]Striker[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •Attacker who produces firepower with Special Skill └ Increases maximum firepower with defense penetration and damage buff └ Usability is similar to Rosaria •Inducing Special Skill with Basic Skill Situations are limited as the unique debuff is at maximum stack. •Unique in having an additional turn in Nova Burst •The unique debuff doesn't depend on Effect Hit or Effect RES, so it's great that you don't have to worry about accidents. •Demonstrates top-class strength against defenders
Epindel: Blessing in Bloom	[Attribute]Sun Attribute[Class]Caster[Damage]Slash Damage [Analysis] •Super high damage buff of 150% to barrier holders └In addition, it can be strongly applied to barrier holders such as Action Gauge reduction •Her skill multipliers are excellent across the board and she is simply powerful as an attacker. •Grant an additional turn with Special Skill when the ignition stack is at maximum └The difficulty of applying the ignition stack itself is not high, but you need to wait 2 turns including the additional turn. •Nova Burst is a 20% damage increase type, so it can't make that much of a difference.

Lily	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Caster[Damage]Mental Damage [Analysis] •A caster who can support the durability of allies. •Special skill that gives a barrier to allies and buffs attack power and Crit Rate to yourself └Crit Rate buff is a unique buff, so it is best to overlap with general Crit Rate buff •Under certain conditions, the damage of Ultimate Skill can be increased and there are many self-buffs.

C Rank (Tier 5) — 3 Characters

Character	Quick Evaluation & Performance Breakdown
Carmen	[Attribute]Moon Attribute[Class]Defender[Damage]Impact damage [Analysis] •A defender who uses provocation to reduce damage taken by allies. •A long-lasting overall defense buff that can withstand even whole-body attacks. •I want to raise my HP because the damage increases according to my HP.
Petra	[Attribute]Sun Attribute[Class]Ranger[Damage]Impact damage [Analysis] •DEF Down can be given └Firepower also increases with the number of ignition stacks •Attribute compatibility is important because you gain stacks when your allies break. •There is also a speed buff and you can increase the number of actions you take.
Omega	[Attribute]Star Attribute[Class]Caster[Damage]Impact damage [Analysis] •A caster whose skills change depending on the stack of power-up stars. •Star Attribute characters increase stacks when attacking •It is necessary to compose multiple Star Attribute characters, and the composition width is narrow.

Strongest Character Evaluation Criteria

PvE Performance is the Main Evaluation Axis

Across Star Savior's current game modes, progressing through PvE content (Operations, Rescue Journey Hard, Cosmo Gate, Cube Palace, and Flashpoint) yields the largest account progression rewards. Our overall ranking weights PvE performance as the primary baseline while factoring in Gauntlet PvP strength.

Attackers Are Evaluated With Priority

Breaking through stages with high DPS is fundamental in Star Savior. We evaluate Attackers based on both single-hit burst multipliers and turn frequency (Action Gauge self-advance, extra turns, and cooldown resets). All evaluations assume Lv.200 stats and invested skills.

Supporters Are Also Evaluated on Damage Contribution

Supporters and Defenders who contribute offensive buffs, Cross Attacks, or sub-DPS while sustaining the team are evaluated on par with or above pure Attackers.

Single-Target DPS is Heavily Emphasized

Because boss battles end the moment the boss is defeated, high single-target damage multipliers paired with self-ATK, Crit Rate, and Crit DMG buffs are weighted higher than low-multiplier AoE skills.

Support Utility is Also an Important Metric

Because generic ATK buffs overwrite each other rather than stacking, DEF Down debuffs and Damage Taken Up debuffs—which multiply with ATK buffs—receive high evaluation scores.

Evaluation Criteria Table for Each Class

Class	Key Evaluation Points
Striker	• Evaluated on ease of dealing consistent high damage • Bonus points for strong AoE coverage and self-sufficient offensive buffs
Ranger	• Evaluated on sustained damage and Cross Attack triggers • Major bonus points for offensive debuffs (especially DEF Down & Damage Taken Up)
Defender	• Evaluated primarily on frontline mitigation, Taunt, Barriers, and Defend Forward • Bonus points for team-wide Speed/DEF buffs or sub-DPS scaling
Assassin	• Evaluated on single-target burst damage and turn frequency (Action Gauge & Speed buffs)
Caster	• Evaluated on AoE wave clear, unique permanent ally buffs, and debuff utility
Supporter	• Evaluated on AoE/single-target healing, debuff cleansing, Action Gauge support, and offensive buffs
