Ratings explained

• S+ - Extremely Powerful Cards that are usually best in slot for their respective roles, and see use across different teams. They usually have both useful stats and strong effects, or an extremely powerful and unique effect.
• S - Strong Cards that act as alternatives to S+ cards. Still powerful in their own right and worth unlocking.
• A - Situational Cards that can work in that slot if you do not have access to S/ S+ cards.
• B - Niche Cards that you unlock because you have no other choice.
• C - Filler Cards that you unlock because you like the art.
• D- Just Don't.

Another quarter has passed and we have done a series of sweeping reviews to reflect the current meta:

• Support
• Between Snowflakes (Yumi) - Support -> Damage. S+ -> S - With the release of Gems and the other new stats, Add damage sources have become much easier to stack up leading to the measly 5% increase of what it gives to be outshined by other Cards like Merlin, Vivien and even Cristina. Additional Damage Pets and Erin are also very rampant in the current meta, making Additional DMG surprisingly oversaturated as a stat.
• Sustain
• First Tactics (Guinevere) - B to A - While not as exciting as Circe's card, this card has many notable showings in many harder boss stages/ PvP teams to improve survival checks with its Crit Resistance Party buff.
• Queen's Morning (Belsey) - B to A - more people grabbing this card early for Belsey as a placeholder until Belsey is able to equip other supportive options (Lua Card/ Lilith card).
• Prydwen (Percival) - A to B - With more testing done on DEF Ratio, it is decided that the DEF% Party buff not as good as it used to be, with more sources of DEF% available.
• Lifelong Contract - A to B - A long time placeholder from a bygone age (Korean Server launch), Lifelong Contract + Ran Card combo not as commonplace as it used to be, as running this combo presents a opportunity cost of equipping another powerful card. This change reflects this.
• DPS
• Red Dragon's Blessing (60F Abyss) - S to S+ - New BiS card for a number of main carry DPS.
• Elgrad Swordsmanship Journal (Lua) - S+ to S - Less showings as of recently; more options appearing for DPS.
• Smile in the Dark (Lisa) - S to A - Mainly for SH farm atm, Most Archer's focus has shifted toward strong bossing options/ support options instead of wave clear (MLF active wipes out early waves). Still a strong starting option for Lisa.
• Clumsy Lover (Lancelot) - S to A - Not many HP DPS that actively uses this card as of late.
• Eternal Bond (Lohengrin) - S to A - Nesha's card took over for ranged duty so it has been mainly Lohengrin using this. Lohengrin's showings has dropped significantly at the start of the year so this change reflects this.
• Unerring Bow (Tristan) - B to A - With the introduction of Critical Amp, cards that can get the holder closer to beyond 100% have gotten a fresh lease of life. We will continue to observe this trend and make adjustments.
