Hero Roster
All 19 playable heroes with unique Status Ailment abilities, elements, and faction affiliations. From Lute's devastating Knockdown chains to Dana's Frost Gauge tanking, each hero brings a distinct combat style to your 3-person tag team.
Status Ailments
The five core Status Ailments — Knockdown, Shock, Freeze, Airborne, and Bleed — are the foundation of the tag combo system. Each ailment triggers unique Signal Skills and enables devastating chain combos when combined.
Knockdown
Sends enemies to the ground, interrupting attacks and creating combo windows
Shock
Electrifies enemies with stunning damage, opening chains for follow-up combos
Freeze
Encases enemies in ice via Frost Gauge, locking them down for focused attacks
Airborne
Launches enemies into the air for extended juggle combos and aerial chains
Bleed
Applies continuous damage over time, weakening enemies for finishing blows
Familiar Collection
30 Familiars to collect across Orbis — 20 free through exploration and story, 10 available as DLC. Each Familiar provides unique combat and exploration bonuses. No functional difference between free and DLC Familiars.
Hero Tier List
Community-driven hero rankings based on DPS output, combo potential, and versatility. S-tier heroes like Lute, Aria, Castella, and Dana dominate with powerful Status Ailment coverage and high Signal Skill damage multipliers.
