In the character strength ranking of Under the Clear Sky, it's not hard to notice that the choice of characters in the early game has a crucial direct impact on the difficulty of pioneering. Among the many characters with unique styles and abilities, a few stand out; the characters listed in the Under the Clear Sky character strength ranking can be considered as powerful tools for the pioneering stage. However, many players may still not fully understand their advantages and characteristics. Let's delve deeper into them together.

Firstly, let's talk about Polaris. The biggest highlight of this character is its powerful skill mechanism. Its first skill has the special effect of ignoring enemy guards, which allows Polaris to directly and effectively deal damage to the enemy's backline during combat. When pushing through stages, facing the enemy's tightly packed front line, Polaris' skill can accurately break through the defense and hit the enemy's critical points, creating an opening in the enemy's defenses and increasing the efficiency and success rate of map progression. Moreover, Polaris' Star Whisper skill has an initial multiplier of 160%, meaning it can cause significant damage output in the early game. More importantly, after successfully killing an enemy, the skill's cooldown can be reset, allowing Polaris to continuously release skills in consecutive battles, maintaining a high-efficiency output state.

Phoenix is the preferred character in the beginner pool. Phoenix possesses extremely practical area healing and shielding abilities. In battle, he can provide substantial health recovery to teammates, ensuring they quickly regain their condition after taking enemy attacks, maintaining good battle endurance. He can also apply strong shields to teammates, effectively enhancing their defensive capabilities and reducing the damage caused by enemy attacks. This comprehensive characteristic of both healing and defending makes Phoenix an indispensable role in the team. For players in the early pioneering stage, Phoenix's presence is very helpful, allowing the team to proceed more steadily through the tough pioneering process. If Phoenix is lucky enough to be drawn from the beginner pool, the player's early adventures will become much smoother.

Silvonbane, as a character given away through a login event, has a mech transformation effect. When he switches to his second form, the Phoenix form, not only does he look extremely imposing, as if a mythical beast has descended onto the battlefield, but he also has a powerful resurrection ability. Even in his first form, Silvonbane already demonstrates strong offensive capabilities. What's even more impressive is his passive Divine Might, which, upon successfully killing a monster, adds additional damage to other monsters within range. Additionally, Silvonbane can efficiently clear many dungeons with low investment, allowing players to obtain valuable material resources without needing to heavily invest in his development. He is an indispensable offensive character for mid to late-game teams.

Lanor, as a unique marksman character, performs excellently in various challenges when manually controlled. He has the ability to stealth snipe and reposition, finding the best spot for output while avoiding early exposure, thus increasing his survival chances. Lanor is the marksman with the highest single-target damage in the game, with astounding burst damage. Additionally, Lanor can reduce the movement capability of enemies over a large area, and this skill can also stack buffs on himself, further enhancing his output and survival. After completing his action, as long as he remains in a safe grid, Lanor will find allies with low health within a two-grid range and apply a one-turn duration damage reduction status, reducing the damage they receive by 15%. Whenever allied units launch an active attack, there are also boosts to accuracy and damage output. At the start of each turn, Lanor gains an additional 4 layers of related buffs, making his performance in battle increasingly strong.

Hilde, with her all-around support template, also has the ability to cleanse negative statuses from allies. She can promptly remove various negative effects when teammates are in trouble. Additionally, Hilde can provide high-value damage increase and damage reduction buffs to teammates, directly boosting the team's offensive and defensive limits. Her second form, the Unicorn, combines control and offensive capabilities, allowing her to deal considerable damage to enemies. In PvP gameplay, she can use the skills of this form stably, whether for initiating control or following up with offense, making her a must-have for all teams.

Regarding the characters in the Under the Clear Sky character strength ranking, it's important to note that no matter what kind of battle scenario, as long as they can be well-coordinated with teammates, the overall strength of the team will improve. Although each character has a different role, a well-integrated team will enhance the overall effectiveness.
