[Silver] Mercenary Crave
The most common silver male soldier; he is disliked due to his lack of a [Request Reinforcements]. Instead he possesses the [Increase Attack I] Skill. He is usually used as Class Changing / Awakening Material in the place of Phyllis / Assal.
Offensive, Physical Damage
*[Silver] Greenhorn Soldier Phyllis*
The most common silver female soldier. She can be used even in some of the hardest maps in the game. Her [Request Reinforcements] Skill is well loved. If brought to minimum cost while being kept without being class-changed, she can take the place of minimum cost bronze soldiers due to a large (33%) increase in Defense for only a single additional deployment cost.
Physical Damage, Support
[Silver] Rosalie (Unreleased)
Rosalie has an Evasion-based [Mind's Eye] Skill which gives her 50% evasion (the same as a Rogue). She is sometimes used as an early starter in place of Phyllis / Assal on certain harder maps. As an Elf, she has lower HP, but higher attack and magic resistance compared to the other Silver Soldiers. Interesting to note is that Rosalie is the only Soldier in the game that has magic resistance (even if only a pitiful 5%).
Dodge, Physical Damage
[Silver] Gustav (Unreleased)
Although the Silver Soldier with the strongest stats, Gustav is also the one with the weakest skill, [Protection of the Phoenix]. [Protection of the Phoenix] rescues Gustav once by returning him to 50% HP if his HP hits 0 while the Skill is active. However; with an initial wait time of 85-89 seconds, you will very rarely want to keep Gustav on the field long enough to even see the skill finish charging up. And on the off chance that you do leave him on the field long enough to use his skill, it has a duration of 35-55 seconds, followed by another 85-89 second cooldown. Also important to note is that Gustav also has a hidden attack speed modifier, he attacks approximately 20% slower than all other Soldiers. He uses 37 frames in his complete attack rotation, as opposed to the standard 31 frames (29 after Awakening).
Physical Damage, Rare Skill, Self-Recovery, Tank
*[Silver] Assal (Unreleased)*
Assal is essentially the Desert-variation of Phyllis and is used in the exact same way.
Physical Damage, Support
[Gold] Commander Julian
Julian has an upgraded [Request Reinforcements II] Skill which gives ten Deployment Points which will be upgraded upon Class Evolution to [Request Reinforcements III] for fifteen points instead. However; he has sub-par stats compared to the other two Gold Soldiers; and a less useful Critical Hit Passive. Julian is useful for players who did not get a minimum cost Aria during the Ryuujin Invasion Event (attempting to get a minimum cost Aria during Revival Events is many dozens of times harder). Players who did get a minimum cost Aria however will most likely only use Julian on male-only missions.
Physical Damage, Support
*[Gold] Lieutenant Aria*
Aria is an Event unit which has an upgraded [Request Reinforcements II] Skill which gives ten Deployment Points which will be upgraded upon Class Evolution into [Request Reinforcements III] which will give fifteen points instead. Her Awakening Passive gives a permanent +2% attack buff to all units in the loadout. Notable is that players during her Event had the chance to easily reduce her to minimum cost which greatly boosts her effectiveness. In comparison to Katie she has a more-offensive oriented stat allocation and passive. Overall, she's the weaker of the two stat-wise; however, her passive is the superior one in general.
Event, Physical Damage, Offensive, Support
*[Gold] Tactics Instructor Katie*
Katie is the free Gold Soldier given for the three-star completion of her set of Drills. She has the [Request Reinforcement II] Skill. Her Awakening Passive is the opposite of Aria's, and will give +2% defense buff to all units as long as she is in the loadout. Her base stats are superior to Aria's (although in a much more defensive allocation), but her Awakening Passive is the less useful of the two.
Event, Physical Damage, Support, Tank
*[Platinum] Tactician Jerome*
Jerome is most well-known for his Awakening Passive that gives you a free +2 Deployment Points at the start of missions when Jerome is in your loadout. Stat-wise he is inferior to Xenobia however; and just slightly better than Aria / Katie. Most people keep Jerome in their loadout for his Awakening Passive, but then instead use Aria/Katie as their main soldier due to lower cost.
Physical Damage, Specialist, Support, Tank
*[Platinum] Sword Saint Xenobia (Unreleased)*
The Soldier with the highest stats.
Offensive, Physical Damage, Support, Tank
Xenobia >/= Jerome > mincost Aria > Aria = Katie > Julian > Phyllis = Assal > Rosalie > Crave > Gustav
