Thread: HBC's FKG 6* Tier List

I have got Cherry during last Christmas Season. I have got her from a Random 6* Gacha Deal. Funny thing is that i wanted a Debuff Girl and got one.
Is Cherry a worthy representative of that archetype? Let's find out

Stats:

HP: 20696
In terms of HP she is in the top 20 of natural Rainbows (to be exact she is rank 20). That's a good start but what about her Atk Stat?

Atk: 7318
There are only 7 Rainbows who have a worse Atk Stat than her. That's bad cause if you want to buff one thing in a Debuff Squad besides the obvious Damage Reduction it's Damage. Her horrible Atk. doesn't do it in that regard.

Defense: 3140
Her Defense is good. Not in the top 20's or top 30's but still good and extra bulk is always nice for Defensive playstyles.

Grading: It would have been nice if she had a little bit more Atk but overall her stat distribution is solid for a defensive Girl like her.
B

Skill Damage and Skill Activation:

Deals 3.8x damage to 2 enemies
At first glance that might look not that impressive. A lot of people prefer either SingleTargetDamage or Full Out AOE Attacks. However Cherry is the only (Natural Rainbow) Debuff Girl with Skill Damage somewhat comparible to SingleTarget Attackers. All other Natural Debuff Girls are AOE Attackers. This makes Cherry unique and she fills a niche in the Debuff archetype.

24% (Lv1) → 34% (Lv5)
The weakest form of Skill Activation Chance for Rainbows. Not bad but nothing to write home about either.

Grading:
That section is good.
B+

Abilities:

This section frustrates me cause the "buffs" she received recently are a joke if you compare them to the buffs other girls got "cough" Anemone "cough" Acacia "cough". She definetely got the short end of the stick.

That's what the devs buffed:

Increases Attack for party members by 15%. --> Increases Attack for party members by 20%
Reduces Attack for enemies by 15%. --> Reduces Attack for enemies by 20%.
They also buffed her Skill Activation Chance cause it was abysmal for a 6* Girl (20% at Skill Level 1 if i remember correctly).

Not really that impressive compared to the buffs other girls received,huh?
Lets take a look at her other two Abilities, shall we?

In a Boss fight, increases Attack for 3 party members, oneself included, by 40%.
I would have prefered if they gave her 25% Atk for all party members instead. I am not a fan of Random Atk buffs cause you want to buff your strongest Nuker Girls in your Debuff Team (Kerria for example). Therefore a Random Atk buff often misses the girl you want to buff. Also in terms of overall Atk Increase 25% for all is superior to 40% for three.

Increases Damage for 3 party members, oneself included, against Bosses by 18%.
Same applies here. Random Atk Buff. Meh.

Grading:
This section is not that impressive to me. Her Atk Buff for the whole group is the absolute standard. Her 20% Debuff to Enemies is certainly nice but there are other girls with that Ability which also have better secondary Abilities. Her other two Abilities are "RNG Heavy" and just don't buff the girls you wanna buff reliably. Also she only has 4 Abilities...
C+

Conclusion:
Cherry has good stats, Skill Damage filling a niche in the Debuff Archetype and two suboptimal Abilities which rely on RNG. She is a decent Debuff Girl and she gets a big plus for being one of the very few Debuff Hit Type Girls. Like Counter there are not many Hit Tye Girls in the Debuff Department. Normally i would have put her in C-Tier (C+) but considering she counts as a rare type i decided to put her in B-Tier instead.

Final Verdict:
B-Tier
