Which S-rank should beginners choose first? Build priority

Your first S-rank is better chosen by the role your account is missing most than by copying one old launch-era favorite. For most players, the real decision order is: first ask whether you need a reliable progression carry, then whether your roster is lacking a flexible support or sustain slot.

A safer way to decide is:

1. If story progression feels slow, prioritize a unit that clearly improves wave clear and boss pace
2. If you already have a workable DPS, filling support, grouping, or sustain usually gives more stable value
3. Keep early investment narrow: build one main core first, then add one unit that helps that core function consistently

So this page now focuses on first-S-rank decision logic and build order instead of claiming one character is the correct answer for every beginner.
