A0 vs A6 — what's the difference?
Who is good at base copy?
Ranks every character the way most players own them: a single copy, no Awakening levels unlocked. This is the list to use when deciding who to pull or which free unit to build first.
Who is worth max investment?
Ranks every character with all six Awakening power-ups active — similar to C6 in Genshin or E6 in Honkai: Star Rail, but NTE calls it Awakening, so we call it A6. (Exact copy/"Mind Shard" mechanics are commonly described but still need direct verification — see the Source Audit.) Some characters change tier dramatically here.
