In the game of Ither, after multiple reincarnations and in-depth experiences, everyone has a rather comprehensive understanding of the strength, skill mechanisms, and practical applications of each character in PVE mode. You will realize that the PVE process in this game is indeed long, so it's important to quickly familiarize yourself with the overview of Ither character strengths. The PVP here is also extremely challenging, with intense competition. However, it is precisely this high-difficulty environment that highlights the differences and advantages between characters.
Firstly, Riri is highly recommended. She is almost the core support that all players dream of. Looking at the rankings, you can see her presence everywhere, which is enough to prove her irreplaceable role in the team. Riri's skill set is nearly perfect; her ability to speed up the entire team allows teammates to act quickly and seize the initiative. As the main damage dealer’s puller, she can precisely control the battle rhythm. When using her second skill for the second time, not only does she provide critical hit damage buffs, but she can also trigger an additional action effect. Her normal attack is not only strong but also has the ability to pull and summon assist units for normal attacks, further enriching tactical choices. As for her ultimate, it can reduce the cooldowns of two skills of the main damage dealer, making the output cycle smoother. To obtain such a powerful support character, the difficulty of obtaining Bao Lili's gold coins is imaginable, but her value is definitely worth every attempt.
Among the support roles, Cross is also an existence that cannot be ignored. He combines various negative effects such as defense reduction, speed reduction, stealing action bars, damage taken increase, and damage reduction, making him the top choice for building a control bar + buff + debuff system. In comparison, Freya, although possessing some push and pull abilities, offensive and defensive buffs, and even the ability to cleanse abnormal statuses and apply vampiric debuffs, still falls short in terms of effect strength and versatility compared to Cross. Therefore, for players pursuing the ultimate support effect, Cross is the better choice.
Ti Ting is the pinnacle of single-target direct damage output in the current version. His numerical design is full of charm, and his characteristic of converting critical hits into burst damage allows him to deal astonishing damage in a short period. The vulnerability effect further amplifies this advantage. However, Ti Ting's high requirements are reflected in his extreme dependence on equipment stats. Only with the right equipment can he fully unleash his potential. This also explains why, despite Kuroro's impressive performance, he cannot compare to Ti Ting. After all, as a noble light and dark attribute character, Ti Ting has advantages in both cultivation difficulty and versatility.
Xia Da is one of the group output characters. Her biggest feature is the ability to infinitely cast her ultimate without any complicated cooldown restrictions, which is very rare among other main damage dealers. Her 155-level skill comes with attack and critical hit damage buffs. It should be noted that if the second skill is not upgraded, the critical hit damage buff cannot be obtained. Additionally, she has a defense-breaking effect, allowing her to handle most enemies with ease. Of course, she has her weaknesses, such as performing poorly in herbal environments and struggling against certain high-defense single BOSSes. However, as long as players are willing to accept a certain level of challenge, Xia Da is still a strong character worth trying.
Victor is a versatile main damage dealer with mature skill mechanics and excellent numerical performance. His acquisition threshold is relatively low, mainly relying on purple crystal draws, allowing him to quickly join the battle during the early stages. Whether it's initial resource accumulation or later dungeon challenges, Victor consistently performs well, making him an ideal choice to use immediately upon acquisition. For relic pairing, it is recommended to use the Assault 4-piece set + Swift 2-piece set. This combination can enhance his damage output while ensuring a certain degree of mobility, making it very suitable for the early transition phase.
Misia is a character who has risen to the top tier after being strengthened in recent updates. Her base stats are already outstanding, and with well-designed skills, she excels in specific scenarios. Cultivating Misia offers a high cost-effectiveness, but there's no need to force it, as there are other excellent characters available in the game. For relics, it is recommended to pair Insight Piercing 4-piece set + Momentum Pursuit 2-piece set, and choose the SSR Wisdom Shell Pathway. Such a configuration will greatly enhance her performance in PVE speed runs and high-difficulty BOSS battles.
As a starting character, Lian, although only moderately strong in terms of stats, plays an indispensable role in the early stages. He helps players smoothly navigate the initial resource-scarce phase, laying the foundation for subsequent development. However, when facing BOSS-level enemies, Lian's damage output becomes somewhat inadequate. Therefore, after completing the early super training tasks, players can consider resetting resources and focusing on cultivating stronger characters. For Lian's relic pairing, it is also recommended to use the Insight Piercing 4-piece set + Swift 2-piece set, which is suitable for early-stage development and can also meet the needs for mid-to-late stage speed runs.
Finally, let's mention Borne, a unique character who combines survival and output capabilities. At the start of the battle, he can increase his maximum HP based on his attack ratio, making him more stable on the battlefield. His passive skill adds extra damage based on his HP, forming a unique combat style of high HP and high output. In the PVE early stages, Borne performs exceptionally well, even handling challenges with opposing attributes with ease.
This concludes the introduction to the overview of Ither character strengths. If you have any more questions about these characters, you can get a general idea from this. The finer details can be gradually mastered as the characters are used in the game.
