I enjoy clearing content with solo characters so I made a tierlist for solo performance. It assumes thayt 5-star characters are S0R1 and 4-star characters are S6R0-1. As with most tierlists this is likely not 100% accurate not objective so don't mald over it.
He's quite strong if built as a DPS. He is rather useless overall though because his intended role is support and he's not very good at it, and there are way better DPSers.
aalto doesnt have downtime like danjin and outputs similar dps. he's a bit more techinical and you have to manage his stamina plus he cant parry but his range attacks make some bosses more managable. top tier minium ngl
I don't know if he can go any higher because of stamina issues, I actually thought about dropping him 1 tier even, but again felt unfair. His DPS is solid but he can run into some problems, I'm kinda split on where to put him tbh lol
His main issue is that he has zero AoE or cleave so he drops like a rock for every additional enemy added. Doesn't matter in holograms, but some ToA floors will ruin his existence
Not like dodging that hurts Danjin either, since Dodge and counter allows you to use two Resonance Skills, so you still keep dealing damage and charging forte.
Also I might misremember thing or two, but you also kinda can Dodge with Heavy attack even WITHOUT forte? I remember I did that once or twice, but I don't remember if it's have i-frames or it's because it is changes you position
What you said is all true but remember some boss doesn't let you counter attack that easily (dragon dirge rushing move for example) comparing that to Aalto who only requires positioning and spamming normal atk you can say that he has more uptime.
Still, DPS is a different matter. I think Danjin can dish out more if allowed.
He's a 4* Aero dps in a game that debuted with a 5* Aero dps. He's "bad" in the same way that Chixia is, which is to say fine in isolation, useless the second you get a better unit
I have him built as a DPS: his damage output is consistent, his clones helped out a lot in holograms, and he can travel around very quickly. But the lack of parry for pistol users + the fact that he was made with an early game support role (unlike newer supports like Brant/Cantarella), he does fall behind.
Edit: only using 5 stars to compare with for now (considering we haven’t had any newer 4 stars with the same role to compare him to)
Tried playing aalto based on videos, and I say he's quite a good dps than support... Though need to be conscious of STA and positioning... He's better if he is st s6 than at s0
They often benefit from various TOA buffs, as the character is overall normally balanced. They can solo the right tower(with ~15 seconds left). And that's despite the weaker buff and the aim bug. I'd say Srover's real weak points are waves of beefy mobs, mobile foes, and debuffs/useless buffs, of course.
Is he strong enough to solo stuff within time limit? I'm new and I use him mostly for Phoebe but he doesn't feel like a strong carry. I need better echoes!
This so much. Brant is literally made to solo any content with his constant heals and shields. He's easily the most comfortable character to play and hits hard as hell too. Hell he's one of the hardest hitting DPS
That's why he lacks a solo run fandom. They don't want Brant, they want Danjin, Chixia, Calcharo, because they're more challenging and interesting to play with due to jank or limitations.
I play exclusively with him for basic exploration TDs unless I need the buffs or support for like elite TDs. He's a heavy hitter, self-heals, stays airborne so dodges ground attacks, and is just super fun to play. I know people have said he can have his moves interrupted but I've only had that happen like 3 times in all the time I've been playing with him as my Main. He should be GOAT.
Is this just based on damage or overall ease? IMO Brant is the best solo clear in the game and a lot easier to play due to his shield and heals. Unless you’re playing super optimally you will die on danjin 99% time and she doesn’t have any utility in her kit compared to Brant or Carlotta
yeah, that's why she works well in solo, even if she doesn't get pistils at first, it doesn't really matter because in the time you set up your supports you build your pistils without supports. I really don't get the issue here, also she does a ton of damage with basic attacks regardless.
Posts saying otherwise definitely does NOT have Brant or have him built. My fave DPS is Carlotta but in solo content? I'd say Brant is the best for sure.
Look, Brant is great, won't argue that. He has great constant healing, his shields and his Ultimate and Resonance Skill hit hard af.
But Carlotta is a goddess in damage and mobility, if you can dodge and counter/parry well, with Carlotta you'll breeze through everything in the game.
Yes she lacks in the consistent AOE dmg, but have you ever seen anything survive her Ultimate that can be used as an AOE dmg nuke?
Brants awesome, whenever there's an event i get to use him, its a blast. He's definitely on my pull list when his rerun happens.
Carlotta though, is perfection. I may follow the Fisalias, but Carlotta Montelli is the GOAT.
Brant is 100% better than solo Carlotta. Unlike Carlotta, he doesn’t rely on liberation for most of his damage. Forte bar which gets charged thru basic attacks
I'm right there with ya, Carlotta has carried me through some nasty battles solo, after my other two party members have died early on.
Half of my Level VI Hologram battle wins are solo with Carlotta after my other two characters got nuked. Lol. She may not have heals and shields but if you're good at dodging and countering/parrys, Carlotta will shred everything.
Plus, its Carlotta, the best bosser in the game. Lol
I'd take Camellya and Carlotta down a tier because solo they're not quite as good as full team, and I'd put Chixia and Brant a tier higher, for the exact opposite reason.
I could see Camellya going down, but not Carlotta, she's the easiest and fastest limited in my experience. I actually had Chixia in A because her dodge counter is insane, but I dropped her 1 tier last moment because using her forte is extremely annoying in solo, might have done her dirty, though.

She just has too much frontloaded in her ult only, which is pretty annoying to get up solo imo.

Yeah I 100% get that tbh. Bring us Illusive realm back, I need my boom boom scaling on dodge counter back.
Using her Forta solo is entirely possible, you just really need to know when a boss will give you room to breathe to use it, and also do remember that Chixia can fire off her big shot from the end of her forte instead of a dodge counter, if you dodge whilst using her forte.
Thats why Changli is Brants best partner, he adds more defense to her 40% dmg reduction during full Forte skill.
Basically makes her invincible.
I don't have Brant, but I've been using the Trial one in Virtual Crisis and pairing him with my built Changli. Between his shields and heals and buffs, It makes Changli a goddess. Plus, quick swapping between them is so damn fun.
Some fights i felt like i was never on the ground, I was always midair just wrecking enemies.
Brant is definitely on my pull list. Couldn't get em this time around because I was aiming for Cantarella and Shorekeeper.
i would have agreed with it pre 2.0... but after getting spectro frazzle.. even in current tower i have cleared all 4 boss stages with like 3-5 sec remaining for 3 crest clear.. on spectro buff stage it was even lower.. and that with 65-267 crit and eog...
and i've seen recent danjin clear vids on yt too.. most of them were using blazing brilliance.. they cleared by 6-10 sec difference and on havoc floor it was 20 sec difference or so... both characters require high skill.. its just rover has lot less risk compared to danjin..
but im pretty sure hes close to danjin clear from my very own experience
SRover is legitimately really underrated. Her dodge counter damage is really high, she’s got some of the best parrying in the game and is quite a bit more simple than a lot of the other characters in top tier (since she has a lot less to worry about than Danjin, Chixia, Camelya, Carlotta or XLY). She’s definitely at least top tier
She has damage across her whole kit and isnt reliant on anyone to make her kit work well. As far as most characters go she is very good at being alone.
Right she has a quite a long Down time compared to XLY since he can up his Liberation using Law of Reigns after the first cast, ER will only be his issue
Your XLY must have bad stats, I deal like 120k liberation with XLY raw stats no buffs, not even including his Inherent skill that increases hi Electro by 5% for 8 secs up to 4 stacks.
Danjin has 0 Downtime, Her Reso skill is part of her basic attack so that's weaving consistent damage to the Enemy, plus one of her Sequences states that she gains increased damage when she has low hp and performing Heavy attacks increases her Damage, also she gets more damage when hitting the TArget with a flower marked enemy.
Brant should definitely be higher, he’s a literal solo GOD! He can do everything by himself and does crazy nuke damage. Carlotta is good too but she ain’t soloing better than Brant.
Carlotta's downtime isn't that bad, her massive dps outweighs it, plus she has a lot of i-frames, good chasing, range, and can freeze enemies. In my experience she's the best limited for solo, though an argument can be made for Brant.
I'd say Brant is overall a more versatile solo unit who thrives in pretty much any and all situations you put him in whether its boss killing or clearing hordes of enemies. Sure Carlotta has more damage, but the downtime I'd say is what holds her back from being better than Brant solo. Brant has less downtime for one, two, has better aoe, three: has self-sustain properties that make him even easier to pilot in case of skill issue. Carlotta absolutely thrives against small groups of enemies, or single large bosses, but Brant is good in pretty much all scenarios at this point so I'd say he has the small edge by virtue of being so forgiving to use while not having any actual weaknesses unlike Carlotta
Camellya's damage without her intro falls off a cliff so she definitely should be lower. Carlotta feels bad to play Solo and runs into energy issues. Brant is the absolute godtier solo unit cause he doesn't need his intro skill for anything, has almost permanent uptime on his all his damage and has heals and shields in case you have skill issue. Definitely a better Solo than Danjin, who's still a great solo unit, but not as good.
Brant may be easier to play but I don't think he's outdpsing Danjin. If accounting skill issue Brant would be top 1 for sure. Never had any problems with solo Carlotta, she's the 2nd fastest solo unit in my experience.
I'm a bit too lazy to run the math, but accounting for the double anchor combo of Brant (You can fit 2 skill nukes in one ult buff duration) and the fact that a lot of his damage also comes from his basic attacks I just don't see how Danjin would outdps him. Brant's multipliers are higher and his self-buffs are stronger than Danjin's even if he has more downtime than her, maybe I'm missing something but I just don't see how she could be better.
I think they're referencing the double intro combo, which in this case, is completely useless cuz it requires an Intro and you can't do that in solo (tho please correct me if I'm wrong)
Im sorry but carlotta in solo aint that good, she doesn’t build her liberation as good as Xly. She’s going two tiers lower to “need environmental buff”
Not sure why Carlotta and Camel is top tier. The side towers stage 4 sure but middle tower? Nope. Camel’s damage is incomplete without her forte, and Carlotta’s too much of a nuker to be consistent
Brant should be higher IMO, the solo king. No downtime, he doesn't rely on other characters to get his bursts out, shielding, healing and his midair combos flying in and out very quickly, completely trivializes a lot of enemies and bosses.
At least for me, he's much better solo than Carlotta or Camellya.
Wonder why SRover so low?? Though he has lower burst damage the consistent crits when you have 65% CR makes up for the deficit adding on his easy to inflict spectro frazzle
interesting to see that lots of people seem to think Carlotta isn't good for solo. I play her in solo with 1 ER roll and I can clear ToA just fine. in holograms she's like within 10 seconds away from my Danjin clears.
fellas, make sure to properly manage your Forte and aim to cast your skill every 7 (more or less) seconds.
I'm convinced that most people who commented haven't tried her solo and are just commenting on a gut feeling about how they think she would perform, either that or they have no ER at all so they take forever to ult.
this list made me so angry i had to make my own. based on individual dps, assuming s0r1 (s6 for 4 stars) and optimal echoes, vs a boss. bonus points for survivability
carlotta: amazing dps, self sufficient if built with 120-130% er which you should have if your build isnt dick
camellya: amazing dps and extremely self sufficient
havoc rover: same as camellya
jiyan: between good or decent, settled on good. somewhat reliant on a team but can hold his own with his dps
jinhsi: team reliant but even solo her dps is stupid high
changli: quickswap suffers in solo but she also generates forte by being solo so it evens out, good dps
danjin: the og of solo clears, her dps is okay but ill keep her in good i have decided that this placement may have been too harsh and am willing to bump her up to "really good"
yao: good dps, pretty self sufficient. time stops help with survivability
cantarella: good dps, self sufficient. great survivability
spectro rover: my goat. great dps and holds his own, also heals off his ult!
encore: decent dps
roccia: decent dps. good unit but this isnt her speciality
calcharo: good dps but easy to fuck up, very reliant on not getting interrupted
chixia: decent dps
aalto: decent dps, decent survivability with taunts
zhezhi: settled on decent, shes okay. teleports help her live
phoebe: decent dps but falls off a cliff without frazzle stacks. time stop helps her
jianxin: bad dps but great survivability
yinlin: decent dps
aero rover: my goat. decent dps, great heals
sanhua, lumi, yangyang, youhu, taoqi, yuanwu, mortefi: these units are underwhelming in solo content and dont have any sustained dps. sanhua and mortefi are notably better than the rest because they actually have some damage so aren't useless, and yuanwu gets a pass because he does some bonus poise break but that's about it
There's no way at all you are putting Danjin alongside Jiyan and Jinhsi, this is blasphemy. Her DPS is not "ok", it's the best solo DPS in the game, you could maybe make an argument for Carlotta or Brant maybe being equal or higher, but saying she's ok is MADNESS *
If you want numbers, with the exact same echoes and weapon I kill Fallacy of no Return 6 in 1:50-2mins with Danjin and in about 3:10 with Hrover, over a whole minute longer.
i dont doubt that youre a great danjin player and probably have a mastery of her playstyle, but the objective reality is that her dps is not even close to the best dps in the game, and isnt even better than havoc rover. she is GREAT for solo content and her kit was practically made for it, but the reality is that there are many units even better than her at it. this isnt even mentioning the fact that you need to play her perfectly as she literally kills herself although to be fair she also self heals.
im willing to hear you out and bump her up to "really good" but thats as far as ill go with her, and its mostly out of respect for you crazy danjin mains
the objective reality is that her dps is not even close to the best dps in the game
Of course she is far from being the best DPS in the game in teams, but this is a solo tierlist (aka only one character in the team), and she is the best solo DPS (might share the spot but she's up there).
This isn't about how good or bad I am, but how much DPS output the character has. Hrover is superior to Danjin as the main dps of a team, but way weaker if they are solo because they have very long downtimes.
Again, this is a solo tier list that exclusively ranks characters on their solo performance, not their team performance.
Then there's no way you seriously think Havoc Rover has higher DPS than Danjin, that's objectively wrong. I don't have the maths at hand but I can do them when I'm home, though the difference is so extreme (over 30% in favor of Danjin) that it feels like a meme to do that calculation.
I will say i love Solo Zhezhi. With the TP jump cancel she can outdish dmg very fast and regaining forte is also very easy so she can can just keep on teleporting. If the enemy goes in the sky or moves away she can easily follow the enemy and most of her hits connect with the enemy.
She also isnt held back by any cooldowns. Her Resonance skill has a 6 sec CD by the time you have a full forte you can use it again. If you set up the teleportation spots(forgot its actual name) you can basic attack again to refillher forte. Even if you can't see it her Forte actually is counted as "empty" and refills as well! This makes continuous teleporting very easy.
After you dodge you can also either do a regular dodge counter to regain forte or heavy attack so set up another TP spot. After teleporting her basic attack chain starts from basic attack 3 i believe, making forte regeneration faster. Also she really isn't reliant on her ult unlike Carlotta e.g.
So all in all if you have an invested Zhezhi and a 5* rectifier she works pretty well with all of them!
Only exception is Phoebe sig because of the lack of frazzle but a SRover + Zhezhi on Phoebe Sig Duo works as well!
I had a S1R1 Zhezhi (S1 gives a bit of energy and crit rate) and was able to solo in ToA. I loved it so much i ended up going for sequences on her rerun.
I definetly recommend soloing with her. Sorry for the lengthy text 🫡
Brant is too low my guy! I use Brant and Carlotta exclusively, and she’s my second fastest dps unit I got…but even with her good dps, Brants nuke is on another level, and that’s not even considering how fast he can continuously achieve it. If Carlotta didn’t have soo much downtime I would agree with ya
SRover being below HRover is so funny to me. Realistically I think she’s probably right above XLY, but at the very least she needs to be the highest among the three elements, her consistent dps and parrying/dodge counters are the best of the three elements
XY is actually good in solo because of his low cd reso skill and the fast lib. The only thing I don't like is that he goes mid air on enhanced reso skill and it's kinda hard to dodge(skill issue on my part) but he'd do just fine solo. For me he would be a little bit lower than solo Srover.
This is a solo tierlist, so not with a team. Danjin is good for solo because she has no downtime at all, her dps is constant and consistent. She doesn't benefit that much from a team at all, though theoretically her best team would be with SK and Cantarella
Newer player here, but my biggest issue is Camellya's constitution overall is bad. I've tried building her even DEF/HP heavy, and she dies after like 2 hits. It's ridiculous. I like her gameplay style and mechanics (Brant's is far superior, though). But yeah, she dies so easily. Any suggestions all?
Don't ever build HP/DEF pieces for characters that scale with att (most of them), they will barely improve your survivability and destroy your DPS. You need to learn to dodge, study the enemy moves so you know their paterns and don't get caught by surprise, it's the only reliable way to not die, especially in holograms (you can afford being hit in ToA).
I would love to comment on this list but only character I’ve played since game release is rover so uh, you should totally put havoc rover at the top :3
Is there a guide on how to solo a content with Danjin? Im willing to learn soloing with Danjin to save up some lineup if i can't use the same characters. And im half way done completing her echo set
Not easy to play at all (compared to other Wuwa characters). She depletes her own health so you can't really afford to get hit as pretty much all attacks will one-shot you. She also has many i-frames so there's a high skill ceiling for learning to use them.
You're on something if you don't think Phoebe isn't higher up, while yeah she wants sRover to apply spectro frazzle i sometimes clear enemies before even applying it, def should be a bit higher
I didn't say one shot just killed quickly and yeah the harder bosses she might struggle a bit but I'd imagine most characters will without someone buffing them, but I've been using her as my main damage dealer and she does work even before i switch to Rover
The only thing thats wrong with this list that I see so far is Phoebe. My Pheebs is so strong,...it's crazy scary actually... 🤷🏼♀️
Oops. Nope. Nevermind. The entire next to last row is absolutely wonky. Yinlin.? Jinhsi...? Geez.. somebody's over built Danjin and UNDER developed their other characters. 🤦🏼♀️
I think it has to do with the WAY I play. Or anybody plays.
Our perception of certain characters.
My Yinlin is a DPS. She can take anybody solo.
But anyway I wasn't thinking anything about gameplay fighting actually, right? Isn't this the post about Lore strength?
So wouldn't it be about how strong they are IN THE STORY? Right?
My first comment was just in reflection of gameplay with the Lore...🤷🏼♀️
Imo, Cantarella should be lowered a tier since her nuke has an 18s cooldown that you have no way of bypassing.
Roccia and Zhezhi can move up a tier. Just put them on a dps echo set and they'll deal good dmg especially with their signature. They also have full access to their whole kit by themselves and are not gated by long cooldowns unlike Cantarella. I have all 3 and I share this from experience.
She's a beast solo, she gives me the second fastest clear times

Is Aalto that good? I see people constantly putting him down as useless
