Guide

Note: characters are ranked from strongest to weakest support from left to right.

Offensive Support

Offensive supporters serve to increase the team's damage output, whether passively with skills like Verve or Valiance, or actively using a round-start Character Skill. Generally speaking, units who support without using a Character Skill are better on defense teams, while on attack teams their Character Skill can be used at the player's discretion.

Defensive Support

Defensive supporters aim to keep the party alive long enough to queue up all of their skills to wipe out the enemy party. Among defensive supports are tanks who provoke the enemy and act as a damage sponge to protect glass canons. Pairing a tank with another strong defensive support can make for a fearsome attack team. Excessive defense support on defense teams is not strongly advisable due to units like Summer Captive F66x, who can disable the enemy's Character Skills if she uses hers first.

Agility Support

Agility supporters are pretty straight forward: they provide the whole team with greater agility. Higher agility allows you to perform normal attacks before other units while skills load. If properly equipped, agility supporters can also be fearsome turrets, provide other kinds of support, or even act as an agility rusher themselves.

Haste Support

Haste supports give team-wide skill cooldown, usually requiring the supporter use a specific element to grant the haste effect. Teammates also need to be using the same element to take advantage of the haste support. It's significance in the meta at this time is debatable but worth noting.

Karma

If available, all of these costumes want the mandatory 30% haste 3rd slot. 1st and 2nd slot depend heavily on the individual costume itself.
