katie , since soldiers are the first lane of defense. Katie doubles as a semitank as well since she is naturally armored for a soldier.

Bashira would be second , because archers are the most general use units in the game other then soldiers. Ofc , if you lack the silvers to cc her , you can try to cc a soma instead

After that it would be iris.


IMO you shouldn't bother with leanne , since jessica can double as a tank for most enemies the game has. I mean , their stats are comparable , before leanne's skill usage. During her skill , she becomes quite a bit tankier then jessica (at least till awakening at least - since jessica gains 120 more defense and around 1k hp)



After that , i'd probably go with fignelia or daisy (but honestly , i dunno how good she is. Haven't had the oportunity to use a bow rider yet)
