2026#
June 27, 2026
Somehow Scavenger’s writeup got blown away. It’s fixed now. Also fixed a typo in Courier’s write-up.
June 18, 2026
Updated for Medjehtiqedti Bound. Moved Unrealized Realities to the main guide. Added Titi, Perfumer the Distilled, and Varkaris. No other updates this time around. Updated the lookaheads.
June 5, 2026
Removed references to Rides Record Restoration being in the future in Harold’s write-up and the Wandering Medics discussion.
May 16, 2026
Updated for Unrealized Realities. Moved Retracing Our Steps units to the main guide. Added Nasti, Cairn, and Skybox. Updated Philae (grades down to B/B+ from A/A). Fixed a small typo in the glossary. Updated lookahead.
Last update to fix a mistake in the lookahead that had Ukusik and Botani swapped.
April 11, 2026
Updated for Retracing Our Steps patch. Moved Ep16 units to the main guide. Added SA2, Pram2, Snow Hunter, Astgenne2, Hadiya, and Akkord. Updated Gnosis to reflect his IS Module. Minor tweak to SA1 regarding Gnosis IS Module. Removed footnote on Ho’olheyak regarding her IS Module. Updated lookaheads. Finally, added a few new glossary terms.
April 3, 2026
Fixed an incorrect skill icon for Conviction.
March 25, 2026
Updated Tragodia’s write-up related to his S2 which lost some of the intended nuance in the editing process.
Updated the breakpoint glossary entry to cover some occasional use with ele injury. Also fixed a missing border.
Adjusted Thorns’ S3 down (from S- / A- to A / A-) and Sakiko’s S2 up (from A / A- to A+ / A) so they better align in relative value.
Added in Sakiko’s S1 breakpoint which was missed and updated her write-up to reflect it.
Added Umiri’s S1 breakpoint in the gradebox which was missing. No change to the write-up for this since it already reflected the breakpoint.
Added Umiri’s S2 as a graded skill (from None to C+ / C) and updated her write-up to reflect it.
Adjusted Mantra’s S2 down (from B / B- to C+ / C). This was just an overestimation on my part.
March 17, 2026

Removed references to Ato being in the future from Swire2, Quercus, Miss.Christine, Executor, and Aosta (however general write-ups and grades are unchanged).
January 9, 2026
Moved these dates for the final general update stuff over here to the revisions tab.
After a long 4 months and 87k words, I have finally completed the overhaul of all graded units! Hooray! There’s a few steps remaining though.
Next steps: [X] 2025-12-12 - Ungraded Vanguards & Guards. [X] 2025-12-17 - Ungraded Defenders, Snipers, & Casters. [X] 2025-12-23 - Ungraded Medics, Supporters, and Specialists. UNGRADED UNITS ARE DONE! MERRY F’ING CHRISTMAS. [X] 2025-12-14 - Update guide to new formatting. [X] 2026-01-09 - Perform a final “tuning pass” on the grades to ensure they’re consistent across the classes.
To the last point, I did the overhaul in batches based on class. Given the overall time it took, it means it’s possible for consistency issues to have crept in. My plan is to line everyone up side by side and try to figure out what looks out of place. There shouldn’t be any major changes since the main goal in the large overhaul was to get things generally where they belong, but expect to see a few tweaks here and there.
January 9, 2026
Pushed the final tuning pass. With this, the general guide update is completed!
New: Added a glossary entry for the differing IS difficulties.
Fixes: Thorns2 skills were slightly out of order. S1 moved above S3. No actual grade changes. Updated breakpoints style for consistency: Amiya Caster, Lumen, Nightingale, Siege, Hellagur, Qiubai, Asbestos, Dusk. La Pluma’s skills were backwards. Removed a redundant phrase in the “Generic Skills” glossary entry. Updated the “Trouble Viewing?” front page note. Removed some unnecessary space from the front page. Removed the general guide update stuff from the front page since it’s been completed. You can find the information in the next revisions entry above this one.
Grade Changes (in no particular order): Shu - S3 Story to S+ (from S). Yu - S2 to S / S+ (from S- / S), S3 to S- / A+ (from A+ / A). Skadi2 - S1 Story to None (from C). Eune - S3 Advanced to C (from C-). Add S2 as None. Vina Victoria - S3 Advanced to S- (from S). Degenbrecher - S3 Story to S+ (from S++). Texas2 - S3 down to S+ / S+ (from S++ / S++). Fuze - S1 to None for Advanced (from C). S2 added for Advanced as C+ (from None). Necrass - S3 Advanced to S- (from A+). Lappland2 - S3 Advanced to S+ (from S). Dusk - Swap S1 and S3 Advanced (from S1 C-, S3 C). Beeswax - Add S1 as None. Haze - S2 Advanced to B- (from C). Amiya (Medic) - S1 to B+ / B+ / B+ (from A- / A- / A-). A- put her as the highest graded 5* healing skill which definitely didn’t feel right. B+ is more consistent with the other top healing skills of the rarity. Ptilopsis - S2 to B- / B (from C+ / B-). She’s just too good with great gains to be a C-tier and the “overkill” argument doesn’t feel as applicable as it used to be. Ptilopsis - Add S1 as None. Sussurro - S2 Advanced to B (from B-). Deepcolor - Add S2 as None. Insider - S2 Story to C+ (from B-) Platinum - S2 Story to C+ (from C). Ash - Add S3 as None. Archetto - Add S1 and S2 as None. Lemuen - Add S1 as None. Gracebearer - S2 to A- / A- (from B / B+). Fiammetta - S2 Advanced to B- (from C+). Fang2 - S1 to C- / C- (from C / C). Skadi2 - S3 Advanced to A+ (from S). Heidi - S1 Advanced to B+ (from B). Wanqing - S2 Advanced to A+ (from S-). Saileach - Added a small blurb about her very advanced S1 use, but no grade changes. Rebalanced the 5* Agents, especially their secondary skills which were overgraded. Cantabile and Surfer’s main skills were also a touch too high. Cantabile - S2 to S / S (from S+ / S+). S1 unchanged. Surfer - S1 to S / S (from S+ / S+). S2 to C+ / C+ (from B / B). Chilchuck - S2 to B- / C+ (from B+ / B). S1 unchanged. Puzzle - Unchanged.
2025#
December 23, 2025
Pushed the ungraded update for Medics, Supporters, and Specialists. Everyone in that group has had their write-ups adjust except for Alanna, Figurino, and Almond. Almond did however get the shifter note added. Hibiscus the Purifier has been moved up to the graded section (C-tier). Papyrus, Breeze, Windflit, Sora, Kirara, and Waai Fu had their secondary skills added to the grade blocks. This doesn’t really reflect any change in suggestion, but rather is more consistent with the rest of the guide. Spuria and Verdant both have skill suggestions instead of None now, again for consistency with the rest of the guide.
Fixed the footnote format in the Wandering Medic blurb. Added a new topic regarding “specific solutions”.
December 21, 2025
Overhauled Purestream again to reflect her IS#6 usage and recommended S2 for that. Fixed a mistake in Kal’tsit that referred to her S1 as DR instead of resist/dodge. Fixed a mistake in Nightingale that referred to the wrong IS#4 ending.
December 17, 2025
Pushed the Ungraded update for Defenders, Snipers, and Casters. All ungraded units in these groups (except Miss.Christine) got updated writeups so I won’t list out all the individual updates. Blitz, Hung, Shalem, Erato, and Toddifons got secondary skills added to their skill blocks. Fixed a missing breakpoint for Asbestos. Additionally, moved Toddifons down to the ungraded section. Moved Haze up to the graded section (this was meant to happen with the Caster update, but it slipped through the cracks and I didn’t notice until now). Finally, gave a last minute tweak to Toddifon’s writeup regarding S1 because Wind is slow with his feedback.
Late edit to add a link to Haze’s write-up, which I forgot despite leaving myself two different reminders.
December 16, 2025
Redid the lookaheads for Hoshi2, Haruka, and SA2. Skill order should be the same though.
December 15, 2025
I forgot to turn the README links into actual links. Oopsie.
December 14, 2025
Finally implemented the format overhaul!
As part of the update, a ton of small tweaks have been done. These are largely style fixes or typo fixes so I won’t detail every single one. A few I might have forgotten to write down may have slipped through the cracks so if there’s any meaningful undocumented change, I apologize. Big updates (that I remembered to note):
Ungraded Vanguards and Guards overhauled.
Module notes added for Mr. Nothing, Gladiia, Deepcolor, Quercus, Greyy2, Rosa, and Skadi.
Rosa, Vulpisfoglia, Tin Man, and Projekt Red grades down slightly.
Luo Xiaohei and Kazemaru still had IS grades (mistake during update) which are now removed.
Added a line for Totter’s S1 to reflect IS usage.
Added S2 for Zuo Le at C grade. I don’t actually like the skill, but it was inconsistent with the other 6*s.
Small grammar fixes on Pallas.
Slight rephrasing on Qiubai to remove a dated reference.
Lots of tweaks on the front page in addition to the format update, mainly to reflect the new guide and the completion of the general update, but also a few grammar fixes and lots of visual updates and reorganization.
Added a new note for kernel units on the front page and added “–” to the grade descriptors.
Columns have been aligned across the guide so the overall page width should be consistent across the tabs.
Added “collab” to the glossary.
Updated “welfare” to reflect when certain event welfares may become available.
December 12, 2025
Replaced the “latest” section with the new format page! The first step of the migration! It links to a new feedback page (https://www.reddit.com/user/TacticalBreakfast/comments/1pl4nne/a_mastery_priority_guide_feedback_comments_corner/) so please let me know what you think or if you spot any bugs or mistakes.
Also added a new glossary term for limited banner names for future prep. Also slightly updated some phrasing in Leizi2’s writeup.
December 11, 2025
With the general update mostly done, I removed the old grade definitions from the front page. I also removed the minor notes section from the front page since anything meaningful is now covered in the ramblingns section.
Broken links should now be fixed and should correctly update in the future. If you spot any broken links, please shoot me a message!
December 10, 2025
Added a new glossary term for generic skills. Added a new question regarding base skills and updated Proviso to link to it. Updated the front page now that the general update for graded units is complete. Below are the dates for anyone who still wants them.
Class - Done? - Date Vanguards - [X] - 2025-08-04 Guards 6★ - [X] - 2025-09-02 Guards 4-5★ - [X] - 2025-10-06 Defenders - [X] - 2025-10-06 Snipers - [X] - 2025-10-13 Casters - [X] - 2025-11-14 Medics - [X] - 2025-11-24 Supporters - [X] - 2025-11-02 Specialists - [X] - 2025-12-06 Most Ungraded 4-5★ - [ ] - TBD (will be done last)

July 6, 2025
Preemptively updated Warmy’s writeup to reflect Yu’s release (so I don’t forget later). Added some links to the front for my socials and other works.
June 22, 2025
Changed Qiubai from S2 secondary to S1 and updated her write-up. Updated Hoederer’s IS grades and write-up to reflect them. Overhauled Cantabile (mostly in prep for Surfer so their writeups are consistent).
June 3, 2025
Overhauled Viviana to reflect her new delta mod. Updated Thorns2 blurb for S1 a little.
June 2, 2025
Added Exodus from the Pale Sea units and moved last update to the main guide. Overhauled the pull priority in light of new banners. Vivi update TBD (I forgor).
April 29, 2025
Moved Vina Victoria units to the main guide now that the event is over.
April 20, 2025
Updated Rosmontis (minor touch-ups). Overhauled Angelina for her IS Module. Downgraded Goldenglow a little for consistency with Lappland2, and gave her write-up a few small updates. Updated Bobbing’s Module reference (since it will be out in a few days) and gave Valarqvin a few grammar touch-ups. Moved Necrass pull priority down, and added Mon3tr to the pull priority. And of course, added the I Portatori dei Velluti units! Also I removed a ton of white space at the bottom of the listings. No idea why I didn’t do that sooner…
April 18, 2025
Updated Pudding’s writeup to reflect that Astgenne is now available via Record Restoration.
April 3, 2025
Added Grand Overture units. Overhauled Warmy. Added pull priority to the lookahead.
March 6, 2025
Updated Blaze lookahead. As it was, I don’t think it accurate reflected what I wanted to say. Also updated Ente’s lookahead. The conclusion is the same, but I added some more detail about why. I sort of just glossed over it with a snarky comment before.
March 5, 2025
Updated Thorns2 lookahead. Overhauled Irene (mainly due to her 2nd Module, but used the chance to update her overall grades/write-up). Added Delicious on Terra units.
February 6, 2025
Updated Rosmontis for her IS Module. It isn’t out for a few more months, but I felt the old writeup was going to lead some people astray since it was so out of date, so I opted to update it early.
February 5, 2025
Gave Greyy2’s S1 a bump for IS and slightly adjusted the writeup to reflect it. He’s good.
February 2, 2025
Added A Kazdelian Rescue units.
January 30, 2025
Begrudgingly added S1M1 breakpoint to Papyrus. It was already in the writeup but is now labeled as the choice.
January 12, 2025
Added Inudi units. Updated Phantom and Kal’tsit for their IS Modules.
2024#
December 6, 2024
Added Greyy2’s S1 and updated his writeup to reflect it. Updated the intro a little bit to better reflect the ongoing GP outage.
December 2, 2024
Updated Bobbing’s lookahead and updated Warmy’s writeup to reflect his presence. Warmy will be redone again when Bobbing is released on EN. Added Path of Life units.
October 28, 2024
Added Episode 14 units.
October 5, 2024
Updated Ho’ol’s writeup to reflect her second Module. Added Babel units.
August 31, 2024
Downgraded Ash’s Advanced and IS grades and updated her writeup. There’s many old units that need overhauled, but she’ll be a common question coming up so I did it in advance of a broader planned update.
August 30, 2024
Changed Musha to Soloblade in Hellagur and Noir Corne. Made a small fix to a dated reference in Frost’s write-up. Changed Magallan’s and Shining’s IS grades from None which felt inconsistent with the rest of the guide. Fixed a dated sentance in GG’s S1 writeup and another in her S2 writeup. Updated a dated reference in Eyja’s writeup. Removed a SUPER dated line from Archetto.

I have completely overhauled the 4★s. There are too many individual changes to list here, but a vast majority of them have been updated in some way. The 4★s historically have had a weird place in the guide. In the initial version of it way back when, I only mentioned four of them at all. Gradually more were added, but the long neglect led to some odd inconsistencies. For the most part, this went under the radar since there aren’t many new 4★s nor is it what most people are interested in, but in the creation of this Sheets guide the mistakes and flaws really started to become apparent. In the end, it made the most sense to just redo the 4★s from the ground up. Most have been adjusted down (some significantly so) since I think they were broadly over graded. Also note that this update does NOT yet fully reflect the IS5 changes (although there may be some preemptive mentions to save me future effort). That will come at a later date.

Gave Greyy the Lightningbearer a huge upgrade. This was meant to have been done months ago but somehow slipped through the cracks.
