I'll go into each individual unit and talk about why it's ranked where it is, as well as the best game modes for it and specific traits.

Note that I won't go much into ranking for progression since any unit can be good to progress with if you upgrade and Etherealize it with some Relics equipped. I'll focus more on Nightmare, Infinite, Challenges, Virtual Realm, etc. As for the tier breakdowns, consider the S-Tier as the META tier with the A-Tier being great alternatives and the B-Tier being weaker options.

How to Synchro Units: You need both units at max upgrade either owned by you or another player via request - The Synchro unit takes the stats, traits and relics from only one unit of the Synchro Drive. Farm: Bulme (Legendary) & Fastcart (Epic) Best Traits: I'll list the best traits for each unit below. Farming Tips: Check out the FAQ below for the best farming tips for Gems, Trait Rerolls and more.
