What each Counter:Side character does
S tier: Top picks
Yang HarimA Supporter who shields and speeds up the team.
Lin XienA resource generator more than a fighter.
Evelyn KellerA healer whose every skill also hurts the enemy.
Replacer QueenA crowd-control Sniper who stuns constantly.
Sky LayfieldA Supporter who buffs the team's ATK by up to 30% after every third basic attack, with the bonus scaling to how many allies are on the field.
SigmaA Tower whose Special hands back a Deployment Resource, so you get more units out faster, and who protects the whole team against bad role matchups.
IfritA light tank that deploys behind a barrier worth 70% of its Max HP and can't be Hitstunned by Special-level skills while it lasts.
HorizonA pipe-swinging Defender built around falling below half HP.
Karin WongAn anti-air Sniper whose enhanced shots can reach a non-boss Air unit anywhere on the field, turning into all-around AoE when it's within 1200 reach, and go after enemies beyond 400 reach when there's nothing in the air.
Rita ArsenicoA debuff Supporter whose Special makes enemies take 15% more damage and get 20% less healing for 8 seconds, rising to 25% and 40% against Mechs.
Eins & ZweiTwo fighters from one deployment: Eins arrives with her twin Zwei, who shares her gear and stats, and both take 30% less damage while they're together.
SerapelA Defender who gets stronger the more she's hit, with every bit of incoming damage permanently adding 1% ATK, up to 99%.
Lee YuriA Counter killer: she deals 40% more damage to Counters at all times, and her Special adds another 80% against them, plus 30% Special damage and Hitstun immunity, for 13 seconds.
The other tiers have the same summary on each character's own page.
How this list is made
We combine 0 tier lists from the Counter:Side community. Each character's tier is the middle of where those lists place them, so one list can't move anyone up or down on its own, and the PvE and PvP tabs only use the lists that rate that mode. The list is rebuilt every week.
