Guard

Guard Class Operators deal high Physical damage, can help crowd-control enemies, or be one of your main DPS if you want a purely Physical team.

For more information on the Guard Class, you can check out our dedicated guide:

Striker characters are damage dealing specialists, capable of unleashing powerful abilities on your enemies, once the right conditions are met. You will often build your team in ways to enable their most powerful skills, whether that requires multiple Arts Inflictions, or high SP generation.

For more information on the Striker Class, you can check out our dedicated guide:

Supporter Operators are defensive specialists but often also buff your team, or debuff enemies. Their skills not only provide great sustain capabilities, but also boost your team's damage alongside their defensive benefits.

For more information on the Supporter Class, you can check out our dedicated guide:

Vanguard Operators boost your characters that want to use their skills very frequently by generating a high amount of additional SP. Many of them do so by consuming high Arts Inflictions or Vulnerable stacks, but still trigger the corresponding Arts Reaction. This allows them to fuel your team and letting them cast more skills, without losing out on the damage benefits that another character would bring.

For more information on the Vanguard Class, you can check out our dedicated guide:

The Caster Class provides high damage through Arts Inflictions and Arts Reactions, and will often be one of the centerpieces of your teams. Fueling them with additional SP generation will further boost their potential, allowing you to fully utilize their powerful Element Arts.
