Which Faction Is Best for Your Playstyle?

  • Terrascion (Damage)
    • Features top-tier Damage Dealers like Renoa.
    • Ideal for speed clears, burst strategies, and topping DPS charts.
    • Synergizes best with Hunter partners, maximizing offensive stat growth.
    • Best suited to meta-focused or competitive players.
  • Boreal Order (Defense)
    • Grants superior shielding and defense buffs, keeping your team alive during tough PvE.
    • Prioritizes Support/Defender roles.
    • Strong recommendation for auto-farming and longer battles.
  • Void League (Debuff/Utility)
    • Debuffer and controller tier, apply marks, weaken enemies, control action economy.
    • Great for PvP, boss stages, and difficult content requiring utility.
  • Passion Riders (Healing/Tank)
    • Reliable regen and action point generation.
    • Best starting faction for F2P or beginners, easy, forgiving, and resource-rich.
  • Vulture Corps (Counterattack/AoE)
    • Excels in crowd control, with counter and AoE shields.
    • Niche but powerful for event stages and “wave clear” needs.
