	Amy B	Role(s): Damage Dealer/Offense Support Free Character. Capable of good (840%) neutral single-target damage, further augmented by her strong self buffs. Can debuff Physical Resistance of a single target by 25%. Can buff party PWR by 20%.
	Biaka S-	Role(s): Damage Dealer/Offense Support Manifest Weapon required. Capable of a very high (975%) single-target damage multiplier, further boosted by her variety of damage boosts, but it is fairly clunky to make use of. Can debuff Blunt Type Resistance of a single target by up to 60%, with a Blunt skill.
	Biaka (Another Style) S	Role(s): Damage Dealer/Offense Support Obscenely high (12000%) single-target damage multiplier potential, but only possible when the enemy is already at ≤50% HP, otherwise it peaks at 800%. note that this is a preemptive skill. this skill can also debuff PWR, INT and SPD of the target by 60% each, but only for 1 turn and requires a non-attacking move as setup for it to happen each time. Can guarantee Pain and Poison on all enemies for a fixed 5-turn duration. this skill also debuffs Blunt Resistance of all enemies by 30~60%. Very very high damage potential, but locked behind conditions that may prove problematic.

Can buff party PWR, INT, SPD & Type Attack by 35% each. IDA/Outlaw party members get twice as much, as well as Multi-Upgrade. Fairly useful for moderate damage along with some good support. Performs better at both with IDA/Outlaw allies, but you should be careful not to just blindly include more without a real plan/without them offering more than their personalities. Preemptive on her damage skill can make it harder to use for damage in some cases.
	Cetie (Another Style) S	Role(s): Damage Dealer/Defense Support Manifest Weapon required. Capable of an exceptionally high (2079%) all-target damage multiplier, further augmented by his self buffs. this skill requires a non-Blunt move for setup, in a way that limits his effectiveness outside of Another Force. this skill can also buff main and reserve party members' Physical Resistance and Type Resistance by 45% each. Can restore 15% MP to the party and increase party max HP by 1000. Can inherently transfer his buffs to a reserve character by switching with them. ~Can't receive Blunt weapon damage buffs. But keep in mind that a few Blunt characters can buff any/all weapon damage. Very high damage multiplier potential in tandem with a lot of strong self buffs, but can be harder to use outside of AF in prolonged fights. Also provides good defense support and utility.
	Claude (Extra Style) S+	Role(s): Offense Support/Defense Support/Healer Blunt Zone enabler. ~Requires an initial non-AF turn of setup to change attacks and effects to Blunt. Can buff party PWR, INT & SPD by up to 75%, with a Blunt skill. this skill also heals the party for 50% HP and cleanses the party of status ailments. this skill also increases the damage boost of Blunt Zone to +60% instead of +30%, via Zone Awakening.

Very high offense support potential, capable of providing upwards of 5.25x damage in isolation, between common buff categories and more niche/specific effects like Break and multi-hit damage buff. Also possesses quality utilities for defense and healing. Having 4 skill slots can minimize tradeoffs, but generally isn't necessary.
	Daisy S+	Role(s): Damage Dealer/Offense Support/Defense Support/Healer Obscenely high (3240%) single-target damage multiplier potential. this skill also buffs party Type Attack by 30%. Can buff party PWR & INT by 50%, and also significantly debuff PWR & INT of all enemies by 25%, with the same skill. this skill also buffs damage that happens after enemy actions by 60%. these all come at the cost of debuffing party SPD by 50%.

Good damage potential that can benefit significantly from her own Prayer giving her Mind's Eye if you can prevent her from taking damage, but this is not always easy to do or even worth doing.
