Current Situation of 4-Star Characters

Since Moze's release in September 2024, the landscape of 4-Star characters has seen little change. The focus on 5-Star characters, especially during the Amphoreus arc and version 3.0, has sparked discussions among players about the need for fresh 4-Star additions to balance gameplay.

The ongoing power creep has also left many older characters lagging behind in endgame content like Memory of Chaos and Apocalyptic Shadow. Players are eager for new 4-Star characters to help diversify team compositions and counterbalance the current meta. These units remain pivotal for F2P and casual players, providing opportunities to mix different gameplay styles effectively.
