In today's world of RPG games filled with fantastical colors, the characters in Ethes are also deeply loved by a wide range of players. The strength assessment and team-building strategies for these characters have always been a core topic of discussion among players. Therefore, sharing the Ethes character strength list for early game content is something everyone needs. It also serves as an important reference for evaluating a character's performance in PVE mode, whether it's during the difficult early stages of pushing through maps or in later dungeons, these characters are essential.
In the current PVE combat environment of Ethes, SSR quality Riri is undisputedly recognized as a top-tier support character. Her three skills all contain extremely practical single-target speed-boosting functions, providing powerful assistance to increase the target's speed while also applying a buff that enhances critical hit damage. More impressively, she can effectively reduce the cooldown time of the main DPS character's skills and trigger assist effects. This comprehensive and strong set of support abilities allows her to be effective in various combat scenarios, enhancing the entire team's combat efficiency and output ceiling. Another T0 level support, Cross, relies on his nearly all-encompassing debuffs such as defense reduction, speed reduction, and turn stealing, making him a must-have for tackling high-difficulty dungeons.
Shanya and SR Ober, as the two pillars of the poison team, are discussed together due to their similar strengths. Black Shanya plays a key role as a detonator but heavily relies on teammate support. Once the stacks are successfully built up, the power she can unleash is significant. Meanwhile, Ober is the best partner for Black Shanya in the current version. His skills not only inflict continuous damage over a large area but also apply a stun effect, effectively disrupting the enemy's combat rhythm. These two characters share the characteristic that they are not suitable for regular main storyline missions but excel in single-boss dungeons. They do not require a very high level of cultivation to show great practical value. However, this also means they cannot operate independently outside the poison team system. As the game environment continues to evolve, more and more bosses are becoming immune to poison, which inevitably reduces their versatility. Nevertheless, if you want to use a poison team, you cannot avoid them.
The main combat mechanism of Xia Da revolves around stacking her passive skill, Heartfire. She requires some time to warm up in battle and relies heavily on various buffs provided by teammates. When she reaches her full potential, the damage she can deal is very high. Fortunately, there are many characters in the current game environment that can provide buffs, making it a perfect fit for her. However, she has a clear weakness: she is not suitable for the early game stage. In the early stages when there are not enough teammates, her damage output rhythm appears relatively slow. After the team members gradually become complete in the mid-game, she can truly become a powerful damage dealer.
In the current game environment where multi-attack characters are prevalent, Koloro shows a very strong side. With a fully equipped team and the addition of the Fate Chime, he can quickly deliver results in his next action. However, he also has limitations and is not well-suited for certain environments like early game content. Instead, he excels in specific scenarios such as Void Ashes and Association boss battles.
Rohu has high survivability, with all his damage calculated based on his own defense. He also has a fallback mechanism when his assist does not trigger. However, in the current combat environment dominated by high burst damage, he rarely gets a chance to shine. In some special long-term combat scenarios, such as the Phantom Sound Theater, he can find more room to perform.
Fanges' situation is similar to the aforementioned Shanya. His support effects are probabilistic, and so is his ability to apply poison. His base attributes are not particularly outstanding. In a competitive environment with only three poison-applying characters, he was unfortunately phased out by faster poison teams. However, if players are interested in trying to build a slower poison team, he is still worth a try.
Hercules' ultimate skill generates a substantial shield value. In special cases where a curtain is present, his basic attack can even achieve a 100% stun effect on enemies. His damage output is just right, making him very suitable for main storyline clearing and quick experience grinding, among other escape-play styles, with high versatility.
Yang is a character that combines functionality with damage output. His buffs are entirely focused on increasing the team's damage. However, his ultimate skill requires a critical hit to trigger additional effects, making him reliant on gear that provides critical hit attributes to ensure the stable activation of his skills.
Lilith performs well in certain specific gameplay modes like Void Ashes. Her control abilities are strong, but the control methods are relatively complex and not straightforward. Due to the need to stack effect hit attributes, she cannot maintain a high speed. She has a clear advantage in the early stages of the game, but as the game progresses, her health and indirect damage may not keep up with the overall pace, so her actual performance depends on how well the player cultivates the character.
How many of the characters mentioned in the above Ethes character strength list for early game content have you used? In fact, these characters are highly recommended by the editor. Currently, these characters are more closely aligned with different needs at different times, and it's up to the players to judge how to use them.
