AStandard Erza Scarlet, Gray Fullbuster, Natsu Dragneel (base), Jellal Fernandes, Gajeel Redfox, Mirajane Strauss, MystoganStrong, flexible picks that can carry story and early bosses but fall slightly behind top meta.
BHades, Elfman, Cana Alberona, Sting Eucliffe, Jura Nekis, Kagura MikazuchiPlayable and fine early, but usually replaced by higher‑tier options.​​
CVarious low‑impact URs and most generic SRsNiche or underpowered; use only as fillers until you pull better units.
