  General Review:
• - Overall, Glenn is a solid support that buffs, de-buffs, heals, regenerates energy, and tanks lethal damage. Glenn can also be in a variety of team compositions from other alignments. The only downside is that he will limit other survivors' position placement, since the best position for Glenn is in position 4.

- Buffs comrades' damage and gives the highest damage dealer some Crit Rate
- At a higher level, Rick Grimes can de-buff enemies' Defense and Accuracy. 
- Ultimate ability is strong when a single enemy gets hit multiple times. 
- Complements other damage dealers in your team.
- Strong A.O.E. ability.

Weaknesses: 

- No hard crowd control abilities.
- Very squishy.
- Overshadowed by several supports and damage-dealing survivors.

Recommended Special Gear:
- Asyl's Best Bulletproof Vest: Rick Grimes is extremely squishy. Asyl's Best Bulletproof Vest gives a shield upon using Ultimate, giving Rick more survivability.

• 
  General Review:
• - Overall, Rick Grimes can assist other damage dealers in your team. Rick Grimes is very strong against bosses (i.e. Total War and Joint Combat) since his ultimate does more damage to the target that gets hit multiple times. However, Rick Grimes is overshadowed by other supports and damage dealers. The best positions for Rick is position 3 and 5.

Rating: ★★★★★

Strengths:

- Can shield the entire team.
- Can heal while he is shielded from his Ultimate.
- Can heal the lowest HP survivor
- Can stun targeted enemies. 
- At a higher level, Shane can de-buff enemies (i.e. reduce the target's damage)

Weaknesses: 
- Shane's Ultimate is essential. Without it, Shane cannot protect the team.
- Shane becomes very squishy late game.
- Low Crit Chance, thus making his personal gear difficult to trigger its effects.

•  
  Recommended Special Gear:
  - Asyl's Best Medical Supplies or Asyl's Best Helmet in order to enhance his survivability. 
• 
  General Review:
• - Overall, Shane is a solid tank that can protect your team, stun enemies, reduce the target's damage, and heals both himself and the team. However, it will be harder for Shane to stay alive in the late game. His Ultimate ability is essential to protect your team. Without it, the chances of surviving may be low. The best positions for Shane are position 1 or 2. 

Andrea

Sophia

Gabriel

Rating: ★★★★★

Strengths:
- Strongest damage dealer within the Ally Alignments
- Has AP rounds that increase your damage.
- Has RIP rounds that ricochet up and down that damage other survivors.
- Has damage-over-time ability.
- Reduce the target's health recovery.
- At a higher level, Andrea's RIP round can stun targeted enemies. 

Weaknesses: 

- Her Ultimate can be situational and if the enemy is not positioned correctly, she will not be able to use her Ultimate. 
- Her attack is very slow and can be interrupted if enemies get too close. 
- Need to revolve around a team that can peel for her. 
- Due to her abilities targeting enemies in a straight line, you will need to adapt your team's position.

Recommended Special Gear:
- Asyl's Best Scope to increase her damage output
- Asyl's Best Shoes can also be viable since it gives SPD on Crit.

• 
  General Review:
• - Andrea is a very strong damage dealer. With her skill sets, she can provide de-buffs and self-buffs. However, Andrea will face difficulties when enemies get close to her. You will need to manage your team properly so that they can peel for her. The best positions to place Andrea are positions 3 and 5.

Rating: ★★★★★

Strengths:

- Able to give energy to the survivor she is following, which can cause that survivor to use their Ultimate twice. 
- Has a knockback ability when enemies are too close. 
- At a higher level, Sophia can buff the attack of the survivor she is following and she can also heal them.

Weaknesses: 
- Sophia follows a survivor with the highest Combat Power, so you will have to pay attention to who has the highest CP on your team.
- Sophia is a single target support, meaning that whoever Sophia follows will benefit. 
- Sophia is very situational since there are other supports that may be a better alternative. 

• 
  Recommended Special Gear:
• - Asyl's Best Luxury Goods to help Sophia gain energy every second. This will help cast her ultimate faster.
  
  General Review:
• - Sophia is a solid support that buffs and heals whoever she is following. However, because she follows the survivor with the highest combat power, she can only support one survivor at a time. Sophia can be overshadowed by other existing supports, so it is very situational. Her best positions can be anywhere in the backline. 

Rating: ★★★

Strengths:

- Can remove the enemies' buff.
- Can remove your comrades' de-buff. 
- Can increase his speed and also reduce the speed of the targeted enemy. 
- Can remove a targeted enemy away from the battlefield for several seconds. 

Weaknesses: 

- Gabriel does not have any healing abilities.
- Gabriel can be overshadowed by stronger supports that can accommodate better.  

Recommended Special Gear:
- Asyl's Best Luxury Goods: This gear can increase Gabriel's energy gain so that he can cast his ultimate immediately.

• 
  General Review:
• - Gabriel is utility support that revolves around cleansing comrades' de-buffs and the enemies' buffs. He can remove an enemy from combat for several seconds which can be a blessing at higher stages. However, due to the lack of healing abilities, Gabriel is overshadowed by other supports. The best position for Gabriel is in position 4 so that he can utilize his abilities better. 

Dante

Princess

Morgan

Rating: ★★★

Strengths:

- Has good A.O.E. damage.
- Has knockback and stuns. 
- At a higher level, Dante can increase his survivability and increase his comrades' damage.
- Complements with other A.O.E. focused survivors.

Weaknesses: 

- Very squishy.
- Tank and support reliant. 
- Weak in higher stages unless Dante is geared and has a team that increases his survivability.

Recommended Special Gear:
-Asyl's Best Bullet Proof Vest: This gear provides Dante with an additional shield based on his attacks.

• 
  General Review:
• - Dante is a good damage dealer that faces some difficulties as you progress through the World Stages. His kit revolves around A.O.E., knockbacks, and stuns. However, Dante will need tanks and supports to increase his survivability so that he can continue to dish out damage. He can cover any position depending on the situation. He can be in the frontline to interrupt the enemies' frontline or he can be in the backline to combo off with other A.O.E oriented survivors. 

Rating: ★★★

Strengths:

- Has good damage
- Is very fast
- Can self-heal each time she lands a critical hit. 
- Has both single-target and A.O.E abilities. 
- Good against single enemies such as bosses in Total War and Joint Combat.

Weaknesses: 

- Princess is very squishy.
- Difficult to incorporate into teams due to the lack of synergies with other survivors. 
- Princess will jump into the pack of survivors.
- Difficult to use properly.
- Overshadowed by other melee damage dealers. 

Recommended Special Gear:
- Asyl's Best Bulletproof Vest: This gear gives additional survivability to Princess which gives a shield based on her attack.

• 
  General Review:
• - Princess deals decent amount of damage, however, she is very squishy. In addition, Princess is very hard to incorporate with the team due to the lack of synergies she gives. To make matters worse, she will jump into the enemies side where the chances of her being useful may be low. On a bright note, Princess is good at disrupting the enemies and have good single target abilities. The best position for Princess can be anywhere depending on the situation because she can dash into the enemy side. 

Rating: ★★★

Strengths:

- Good crowd control abilities.
- Able to protect a backline survivor that is in danger near the start of combat. 
- Great counter to survivors that jump into the backline.
- Has a lot of survivability.

Weaknesses: 

- Strong in early game but gets out-classed by other tanks at later stages. 
- Mainly used as a damage sponge. 
- Completely dependent on your team to deal damage.

Recommended Special Gear:
- Asyl's Best Medical Supplies: This gear will give additional defense and a percentage of incoming HP recovery. This will boost Morgan's survivability.  

• 
  General Review:
• - Morgan is a great tank that has both great crowd control abilities and survivability. He is perfect counter to survivors that aim for your backline. However, he gets out-classed by other tanks at later stages. The perfect position for Morgan would be any position in the frontline.
