READ
This guide should be treated as for beginners not as a tier list to follow once you've been playing for some time. You should be reading your trekker's skills and potentials and forming your teams based on that and testing them in Ascension. Remember, your teams always want to have someone who applies marks of your element and can trigger them. Most of your damage is going to come from elemental marks, not simply pumping out skills. This should be treated as a community driven tier list. I am not here to tell you how to play the game just here trying to help since we have no site willing to pick up the game and give it a serious tier tier list based on crunching the numbers.

Core Team Building Logic:
- Vanguard triggers marks when used as main character (OR support character, but can never add marks)
- Versatile triggers marks when used as main character but can ONLY add marks as support, additionally needs an ult potential to make ult trigger/add marks
- Support can only add marks but don't trigger them.
Vanguard
This is for who should be in your vanguard slots. This is a general ranking and open to discussion besides Shia who is an absolute monster currently and deservedly reigns supreme because of it. Again this is for how well they do as a vanguard NOT an overall tier ranking as individual units.
Note: Mistique is much stronger as a support and while she's not weak as a vanguard by any means she is by far more powerful as a support and does much more damage. Only use her in the front line if you're intent on using her because you like her. This is to say she's not weak she's just not as resourceful or powerful as a vanguard compared to her role as a support. Also as for Gerie she's in a weird spot where the terra support is stronger then the vanguard.
Support
This is for who should be in your support slots. The nice thing about supports is they can fulfill different roles depending on how you build them. So treat this as more along the lines of advice rather than absolute.
Note: Mistique is a more powerful support than Cosette when running Umbra and there is no exception to this. Cosette is instead powerful due to her ability to be slotted into different teams with her massive attack buffs and resilience damage.
Teams
This is a tier list ranking teams. This can also always be edited to include more useful information and updated over time. As for why Lux is so high it's because Shia currently does the most damage in the game bar none. Until she gets properly powercreeped or we find a combination that can surpass her shotgun build she's in a realm of her own.
Notice: Ultra Welfare is for people who don't even have a 5 star of that element to work with. Every team with that label should be treated as hopefully very temporary as you roll for a 5 star unit of that element or use a selector on them to fill out your team properly.
Vanguard is always first in the listing of teams.
Every tier list is open to updates and discussion nothing is absolute when Yostar can just decide to powercreep us every time a new banner drops. If you have any suggestions or updates you want please mention them in the thread I'm open to changing anything.
Also for anyone confused about Cosette vanguard we have a video proving it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWV0CfwgytQ
