Patch 3.1Updated Sep 9, 2026By Toby Nguyen

Every mode weighed together.

What changed in v3.12 changes since v3.1 · Sep 9, 2026
  • Moved down: Solveig moved down to A (was S)
  • Moved down: Torren moved down to A (was S)

Placement is about how much a character raises a team’s ceiling, not raw personal damage. A support who makes three other characters better beats a damage dealer who works alone.

Everything in A and above clears current endgame content comfortably without duplicate copies, on four-star weapons.
