Recommendation!

Hmm! If you're thinking about early game stability, I'd highly recommend Silence. Her wide-ranging healing ability using drones is super efficient. If you want to create tactical variables, choosing Project Red is also a solid choice!

You can find tier lists easily, but I usually pick characters I like in games like this... It makes me put more effort in and play longer.

Just prioritize characters whose appearance you like. If I were to recommend others, I'd suggest Cruz (Altered), Texas, Silence, Ptilopsis, Lappland, Specter, Warfarin, Cantabile, and Insider. From these, take the classes you need for your roster!

If you don't have 6-star Exusiai, go for 5-star Blue Poison.

Don't just focus on the main story; if you clear sub-quests, you get 5-star and 6-star characters. Take all the 6-star ones (Lumen, Glacia). You might even get Cruz's alternate version among them (not entirely sure though).
