* LowTierLetdown:
** Gaiga is considered the worst SS Rank character. She only has 3 damage skills among all her 12 skills. Among her other skills are protecting allies from Lightning attacks (which needs her standing right next to them) and granting immunity to instant death (useful for exactly one boss battle). Oh, and her ultimate skill is [[UselessUsefulSkill Death]]. Being an SS, she's still stronger than some others, but considering she's on the same rank as powerhouses like Samatha and Gugba, Gaiga is very underwhelming.
** Y'apkar is beloved by the fans due to his great artwork, and that his backstory reveals he is a hardworker despite being talentless in magic. Unfortunately, he is a perfect example of a MasterOfNone. His magic is weak (he's the only mage character without any area of effect) and his unique healing skills are still weaker than a basic, regular heal.



* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: With the introduction of Jaguna Lambda, she actually has decent Stats and useful skills, making her much, much more useful and worth using. She also gets a redesign, which retains the fanservice but without the derpy face. Regular Jaguna is still crap, but at least there's a reason to use her.



* ThatOneAttack: Marilith's ''Plague'' skill in Chapter 28-6. It hits all of your squad members with three debilitating status ailments: Sleep[[note]]victim cannot be moved directly, attack, or use skills until it wears off some turns later[[/note]], Confusion[[note]]victim temporarily not only has the same problems as Sleep, they will move to random spots on their own[[/note]], and Poison[[note]]damage every turn[[/note]]. If you had the foresight and willingness to deal with Palpa's TierInducedScrappy status, you probably leveled her three jobs so she learns the relevant status-curing spells, though even then she has no skills to protect ''herself'' passively. Beyond that, if you haven't been getting good status-healing characters, the battle can easily lose itself.

** Metal Zone 6 (the Metal Zone for characters up to level 69) is surprisingly tough. Whereas the five Metal Zones are pretty straightforward grinding zones, Metal Zone 6 not only has enemies that do surprising amounts of damage to characters in the 60's, but also introduces the Metal Mirror, which will respond to attacks with a dangerous 3-column Retaliate skill, potentially pulling the plug on your EXP-grinding efforts.
* TierInducedScrappy:
** Jaguna has rather lackluster artworks with silly fanservice at job 3 and the reputation for being the worst character in the game, thanks to her bad stats and skills, [[MasterOfNone unfocused direction]] and her third job being a mage without attack magic and only lackluster healing. And she for some reason needs the (much more valuable) human job items despite being a beastfolk. She's generally considered a waste of time and warrants a restart when pulled early.
*** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: With the introduction of Jaguna Lambda, this seems to be the case. Jaguna Lambda actually has decent Stats and useful skills, making her much, much more useful and worth using. She also gets a redesign, which retains the fanservice but without the derpy face. Regular Jaguna is still crap, but at least there's a reason to use her.
** Palpa is probably the second worst character just behind Jaguna. Half of her skillset is filled with ailments-curing spell. The problem? The last skill she learns is Panacea, which cures all ailments, making nearly all her other skills redundant. To make matters worse, all her cure spells only have Area(2) target, while other Remedy characters have cure spells that affect all allies. And unlike those characters, Palpa doesn't get any immunity to ailments herself. Considering all but two ailments completely stop you from acting, she is nearly useless even against ailments-using enemies. At least she's given to you for free by the story, so you don't need to spend valuable Energy to get her. Also, unlike Jaguna, her Lambda form doesn't save her. Palpa^ is only good for her Tap skill, and other characters with that skill easily outclasses.
** Gaiga is considered the worst SS Rank character. She only has 3 damage skills among all her 12 skills. Among her other skills are protecting allies from Lightning attacks (which needs her standing right next to them) and granting immunity to instant death (useful for exactly one boss battle).

** Burbaba. His skillset is full of counterattacks when he's pincered. Problem is, you can't predict enemy pincers, and some enemies don't even use pincers to attack, so counterattacks are almost worthless.

** Florapedes. They don't actually do any damage but have an attack where they reduce your Attack power to single digits making it difficult for you to kill anything. Worst part is, they use a cross pattern meaning four characters could get afflicted in one move.
