Mr. Sirloin's 3 star courses

An overview of what 3 star units to sink your teeth into and those that are hard to swallow. Let's see who takes the cake shall we?

Event units are a bit stronger than gatcha so will be found on the bottom of the ratings since they are only available at certain times.

As a note the advice of just using your favorites is always good. How I play and enjoy the game is different from how you might enjoy so the ratings are subjective. I will be focusing more on what a unit does than just raw stats since the higher the raw stats/abilities percents the better but after a certain point it just becomes how quickly can you beat something rather than if you can beat it. Also, three star units are mostly outclassed by four star units.

This guide is very liberal about judging units on a team and ignoring sidekicks' general existence. This is mainly due to it being a gacha game which means you may not have access to everything. I will call it out in some cases in terms of healing which is easier to get access to via different units and sidekicks.

5 star recommendations mainly look at changes in a unit rather than raw stats or simple increases in damage or skill cost reduction. A 5 star offers consistency in stats so if you're lacking units this may help you complete quests but that is true for all units.

6 star is all about stats so I won't cover it.

Well Done

These units are useful in a lot of situations

Alchiba

Does having one broken skill get you on the top of this list? Yes, yes it does. Silence allows you to cheat many quests by just denying the enemy units the chance to do anything while boosting your view as high as you want. Ignoring silence once upgraded to a 5 star his second skill is alright so it may be worth it to upgrade him to a five star if you feel like using him more.

Medium rare

These units are ok but don’t really stand out

Mokdai

A standard unit that is pretty good but pretty boring. He finds himself in this tier mainly due to how strong other units are. His main use is boosting view but good damage on his basic attack and a fair costing third skill make him good for a wood team if you are lacking other options.

Loren

Actually really nice but lower due to better units and only offering single target healing. In battles where you need high amounts of healing from single target attacks or if you are running a unit with taunt he will come in handy. He will struggle in a lot of situations where group damage is common. 

As a special note most single target healing can be done with sidekick abilities as well so having a dedicated single target healer is a matter of choice.

Isaribi

A victim to having a niche that just doesn't come up often enough but can still find enough use on water teams. His second skill is in an odd spot since it does deal good damage you won't find yourself in many situations where hurting multiple targets a bit is better than hurting one target a lot. 

You’re paying a lot of view on his third skill for an effect that rarely comes up. Most infinite scaling skills have a high cost but rarely can reach damage levels that make it worth using outside of specific quests.

Goro

Ride or die this is your three star access to taunt. If the game only had three stars this alone would put him up a tier but it isn't so he is stuck here due to the fact you need to 5 star him for consistency which if you're going to use him is worth it. His other skills are nothing outstanding but are fair for the cost. Keep in mind other taunt options exist before you five star him since those units typically offer something more than just taunting.

Narihito

A good unit if you want to passively gain view from attacking to set up an early battle skill use. HIs third skill allows you to generate a lot of view for you to use but having that much view in the first place is risky in some fights. He mainly exists to just set up other units using their skills which sometimes is all you want but you may find yourself in situations where you are generating too much view. If you want to five star him for the sake of ease you can but a lot of skills and sidekicks exist to generate view so your not gaining anything of value after the first turn of battle comparatively.

Blue

Not recommended (remember no bad units exist but your investment in them will be less of a  pay off) 

Akashi

The burn we are feeling is not good. This clinical disappointment needs a buff. Burn can be useful to win battles you probably shouldn’t but the low proc chance doesn’t make it worth it in most situations. His second skill is only worth the cost once you upgrade it and can only be self cast which makes it even worse for that investment. In the end he is a unit with everything on his kit costing too much and a basic attack that isn’t good leaving him with no good options.

Sui

Proof that adding little bells and whistles can go wrong she is held back by being a generalist. Low proc rates, low damage, and the fact most of the things she offers are rarely needed. The third skill is the best example since it has damage, defense down, and the unique effect of removing all of an enemy’s buffs. Overall it is properly costed but due to how rare wanting to remove everybuff from an enemy is it would have been better to lose an effect to lower the cost to more manageable for most battles. To be honest if i was just judging off this skill she would be up a tier since while its not bad its just…not good.

Rakta

Good in theory, bad in practice. If you want to abuse another unit's increased damage against slower targets you can use him but that's a lot of investment in a unit that can easily be replaced. I honestly find view cost down to not be worth it for the cost presented even before the power creep of the smaller view reduction. It can save you a lot of view over two turns and prevents enemies from using the view you generate but I find the cases where I would want it to be small. 

Digram

Removing debuffs the unit which just makes them situational if downright unneeded most of the time. Removing buffs from each enemy unit seems like a good thing to do but rarely feels worth the cost in addition to it just not coming up often in battles. 

Kirsch

What if you make a unit around a very undertuned mechanic? Kirsch is what happens. Regen just is terrible for what it cost which in turn makes her a bad unit. Ignoring regen, her second skill healing is good but can easily be replaced by another unit or sidekick. 

Regen is a terrible buff on most units. Gaining a percent of your hp back every turn is nice against chip damage but it costs too much and relies not on her own scaling but her allies. To add insult to injury (that she will not be able to heal in a timely manner), units exist that can just heal your team to full for a cheaper cost than this skill

Procy

A gamble and thematic it's a little odd to see him in this tier but he is either really good or really bad so. If you're not going for view reduction on ally skills or wombo combos on turn two and three and dont mind restarting a lot he is ok.  The main appeal is the fact he can get such a discount on his skills the next turn in return for just basic attack but with such a low chance to proc it just feels a bit bad rather than just doing something else. This combined with his third skill can greatly reduce the skill cost of other units for a cheap price but most of the time you won't have battle or skills costing enough to make it worth it compared to just generating view normally. 

Event units

Hisaki

Good for gimmicks of counter and raising defenses you can tell he was made to support a 5 star unit release. His basic skill helps keep him alive and causes your other units to be targeted more and his second skill is good for what it costs. His third skill is what makes him a better unit.

A simple and cost effective team defense up. It doesnt change the game state as much but if you're against something that only attacks once a turn it stacks quickly and makes you hard to kill. It is also useful if you know the boss will get off a strong multitarget attack. You still should bring some sort to the healer to support him otherwise you will have a slow death.

Pubraseer

I will die for this unit and without his help so will you. A healer that is going to be hard to replace since he has both good multitarget heals and single target healing. His only weakness is both of his healing skills are a bit costly. Making him a five star does grant the target of his single target healing the attack up buff so I feel its worth it since it keeps your momentum going.

Rexer

An action packed hero straight from a video game but a bit hard to get the most out of.

 As a passive ability he may reduce the cost of his skills by killing a unit. Enough battles have weaker units where this may come in handy but most battles it won't affect much in the long run. It does cement himself as the unit to clean up small fries while your other units focus on the boss.

For skills his basic attack removes buffs from enemies which is rare to come by on a unit but does have some good use cases to make it notable. A real doozy of a third skill it boasts some of the highest consistent damage but since it goes based on the hp you are missing it is a bit harder to perfect. Luckily it doesn't take much damage to make this skill worth using but lack of a self damaging option in his kit makes you reliant on luck to get there. Five staring him helps with the total damage and consistency of using his third skill so if you like taking risks it's not the worst.

Name: Apodis Alchiba

Age: 32 years, 3 months and 5.5 days… but who’s keeping track?

Gender Identity: Female-ish? She/Her

Species: Human, mostly.

Place of Usual Residence:

Styx, Washington

How would you describe yourself? 

I'd describe myself as overshadowed and too much of a pacifist to really do anything about it. So this BC thing is a big deal for me.

How would your friends or family describe you?

Um, I'm fairly sure they would describe me as a talentless nobody that can't live up to expectations.

What is your favourite genre of music? Metal/Rock & Roll

Your favourite color? Purple

Your favourite word?  Omphalomancy

Romantic past?

Do you have a criminal record? Yes, I acted out a lot as a teen, I was trying to get my parents to acknowledge me and any attention was better than none. I got caught multiple times for shoplifting and vandalism. Though the big thing on my record is armed robbery, that was an accident though, I’m still not sure how that blade got in my hand and I had every intention of paying for my case of Arizona Razzleberry Tea. 

Are you repentant about it?* Yes, of course, I was just a silly kid back then. (Not really, it wasn’t like anyone actually got hurt and attention was gained as desired.)

Why did you enter this BC**? I want to show my family that I am just as special as my siblings. Just because I don’t jump at every single opportunity to ‘share’ the stage with Aurora, Altair and Reg doesn’t mean I don’t have talent. Also love, if convenient.

Are you nervous? 

A bit, I mean what if I get completely humiliated?

What do you hope to attain?

A name. I want to make a name for myself, I don’t want to be known as ‘that one contestant’ or 'The Alchiba twins’ older sister’. I’m my own person.

Anything else about yourself you want us to know?

I can imitate voices really well.

How much do you know?

I know everyone is special. So I try to see what makes each person special.
