General PvE Damage Costume Recommendations

This list is intended for general PvE. This will give you a good foundation for completing story and character packs, Fiend Hunter, Tower of Desire, and Tower of Salvation. Supports are always more valuable than damage costumes, so invest there first.

Portrait	Costume	Comments
Sacred Justia
	Reclaimed Destiny	Does more damage the more enemies she hits and her range is exceptional. At +4, it can be used every turn. The only content she's bad at is when there's very few enemies to hit, such as Last Night or the rare single boss fights.
Eclipse
	Beach Vacation	Has the longest cooldown in the game at 11 turns. So if you didn't win on turn 1, you'll need the other costumes to fill in that gap.
	Nightmare Bunny	This limited costume is her second strongest costume. It generates SP on top of dealing respectable damage for the cost. If you missed out, skip using Eclipse for extended fights like Fiend Hunter.
	Dimension Witch	Low SP for a magic costume, but the X tile pattern makes it difficult to use.
Blade
	Young Lady	A multi-hit attack that's got more range than is typical for physical costumes and adds a vulnerability debuff to the main tile (improved version of Your Very Own Cat Eris).
	Apostle	A short range, high damage ability that also counter attacks the entire enemy field. However, she has the lowest HP of any 5* character, making the counter risky to take advantage of outside of FH/GR.
Loen
	Last Hope	An exceptional costume to use if you missed Celebrity Bunny or it's on cooldown.
	Celebrity Bunny	This is a stronger version of Sacred Justia's Reclaimed Destiny but with a long cooldown. Unlike Eclipse, Loen isn't useless in extended fights without it.
	Track and Field Team	Provides a self-buff, but it's weaker than most other self-buff costumes for the SP cost.
Liatris
	Maid Name R	Her strongest costume, but needs a DoT to maximize her damage. If you want to trigger the conditional on turn 1, you'll need to pair her with someone like Vanguard Gray.
	Rodev's Star	A multi-hit attack that applies a very potent DoT.
	Neon Stalker	Her least useful costume due to the range, but it has a very potent DoT. You'll only use this during FH when the other abilities are on cooldown.
Venaka
	Wind Dancer	Increases the amount of wind damage the enemy takes and has an unusual very front 3x3 range that targets the first row instead of the middle.
	DJ	Hits like a truck and decreases the enemy's magic resist, making her exceptional for PvP as well as good for general content, and not just when she has elemental advantage.
Roxy		A collaboration character that can't be obtained anymore.
	Respected Master	The only thing that makes her remarkable is her element: there isn't another wide AoE in water. She has amazing range and main target damage. Her other costume is primarily for PvP.

Honorable Mentions

When you don't need to clear the entire enemy field, these are some of the more useful characters.

Portrait	Costume	Comments
Morpeah		A flexible summoner
	Beach Vacation	The best utility costume that isn't a support. Summons 2 minions that can attack or push independantly from Morpeah. She's a critfishing nightmare and a dud in Last Night, but the MVP of Tower of Salvation.
	Daydream Bunny	Summons a single minion that deals less damage but has a larger range. Lower SP cost than her other summoning costume, but it can't be used every turn or used premptively.
	Apostle	Applies a vulnerability to damage from summons as well as concentrated fire to the main target, making it easier to manage them.
Levia		More than just a debuffer
	Track and Field Captain	Levia's primary purpose is to apply vulnerability with this costume.
	Overheat	Does amazing damage on the following turn when T&F's debuff would be expiring anyway.
	Night of Jealousy	Deals exceptional damage vs the main target, making it a solid follow-up attack and excellent in Last Night.
Nebris		Highest damage character in the game
	New Hire	Has the highest damage ceiling in the game because it increases with each buff she has, and her other two costumes provide up to two buffs each (4 buffs total). Her range limits her for general content, but she's exceptional in Fiend Hunter and Last Night
	Labyrinth Gatekeepr	Has the least useful range of the 3 costumes, but good damage and one of the strongest self-buffs in the game. Augmentation potency increases at +4.
	Laid-back Lifeguard	Weakest of the 3 costumes in terms of damage and buffs. Needs at least +3 for the buff duration increase.
Dalvi
	Summer Vacation	Has the longest duration DoT in the game for a range this big.
	Bright Moon	Has a unique mechanic that allows her 2 additional free casts with no cooldown. At +5, she also gets an energy shield, which occasionally comes in handy.
Luvencia		Both costumes are 8-hit, allowing her to perform as a chainer.
	Wild Dog	Damage varies based on how many chains are being generated, but her range limits her for general content.
	Deal Snatcher	Deals more damage the fewer enemies she hits, with double damage on the main target, making it good for follow-up attacks and Last Night.
