Snapshot 2026-09-05, Version 4.5 “To Roll the Stars in Astropolis”. Letters are endgame averages — no made-up decimal scores.
| Tier | Character | Path / Element | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Himeko • Nova | Erudition / Fire | Prydwen T0 in all three modes; Game8 SS |
| S | Castorice | Remembrance / Quantum | Prydwen T0 across MoC/PF/AS; Game8 SS |
| S | Silver Wolf LV.999 | Elation / Imaginary | Top band on both boards; speed/crit Elation carry |
| S | Ashveil | Hunt / Lightning | Prydwen DPS T0; strong into 1–3 targets, drops at five (PF) |
| A | Firefly | Destruction / Fire | Reference Break carry; split grades; needs Break shell |
| A | Evernight | Remembrance / Ice | Support DPS / memosprite; natural Castorice partner |
| A | Archer | Collab / Quantum | Huge ST multipliers; weak into PF multi-target |
| A | Phainon | Physical | Huge damage in enhanced state; average outside it |
| B | The Herta | Erudition / Ice | PF specialist; averaged board reads lower |
| B | Acheron | Nihility / Lightning | Still strong; signature LC effectively mandatory on Game8 |
| B | Feixiao | Hunt / Wind | Clean ST follow-up; nothing for Pure Fiction |
