↖ B Tier: The solid midfield

Builds in the B tier are sometimes experimental or have weaknesses in certain content. They are often only used in a very specialized way, for example only for bosses or only for farming. Although they are generally weaker than the builds in the higher tiers, they are particularly useful in group play.

As players progress through the season and continue to test out Witch Powers, we expect more ranking shifts.
