Schema

• "Trust" refers to trust abilities. "LB" refers to limit bursts. "CD" refers to cooldown abilities. "LS" refers to limit stones. "Brave" refers to brave shift.
• Ailment abilities have their odds and number of occurrences noted.
• Element icons in square brackets indicate that an ability is locked to that element and thus may be unusable due to the weekly ban.
• The defense down icon in square brackets indicates that an ability is locked to a parameter reduction and thus may be unusable due to the weekly ban.
• Abilities connected with "+" occur simultaneously while those with "and" are separate. The term "or" is used mostly for RNG.

Logic

• Only takes the player controlling their team into account. Units are assumed to be fully awakened, leveled, LB leveled, enhanced, have obtained all unlockable abilities, have any relevant exclusive equipment, materia, and trust ability activated. Units are otherwise treated "as is" without any particular equipment or materia. Units without a 7★ form inherently lose up to a full letter grade due to weaker overall stats.

• Having a wider array of abilities is desirable due to rotating weekly bans.

• The sooner a unit can access an ability the more strongly it is considered. Cooldowns (cd) that are not available until turn 4 are considered "late" and any longer than turn 6 are not considered at all. Abilities with cooldowns longer than 5 turns (or applicable Magnus abilities) are marked as "once". Non-CD abilities that are available on turn 2 at the earliest are marked as "delay". LBs are considered "cheap" if they can be reasonably reached within 1-2 turns, normal if 3, and "expensive" if 4+.

• Debuffs: Charm ≥ Stop > Petrify > Paralyze > Damage over time > Confuse, Poison, Sleep > Blind ≥ Silence > Disease

• Elements: Wind > Water > Earth > Fire > Dark > Ice > Light > Lightning

• Non-factors:
  • ST: Anything besides death, charm, stop, ~100% ailment(s), MP drain, full revive, full heal/refresh
  • Defensive AoE: Weak heals, debuff protection, stat buffs
  • Offensive AoE: Weak ailment chances, stat debuffs, weak imperils, chains with large frames (e.g. Quake, Ultima)
  • Passives: Aggro-related, requiring another unit to be present, cover-related, weak elemental resists (<40% for 1-2 elements), weak ailment resists, weak regens/refreshes (<10%), weak accuracy (<50%), non-Human killer effects (or <50%), guts
  • Self-destructs
  • Counters and LBs that do most of the above (or worse)
