Yao Guang and Pearl each appeared in about two-thirds of Encounter 2 teams in Memory of Chaos 4.6.2

The pooled Memory of Chaos 4.6.2 rankings have clear leaders, but they do not describe a single encounter equally well. Huohuo heads the first fight, Yao Guang the second and Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae the third. Hyacine, rather than any of those encounter leaders, is the only character to reach the top 10 in all three. The figures cover 34,894 eligible team observations on Floor 12 · Starward in AstraVoy’s prepared aggregation of MocData observations maintained by LvlUrArti.

The most-used characters overall

The top five span two very different encounter profiles. Yao Guang, Pearl and Silver Wolf LV.999 draw much of their overall presence from Encounter 2, whereas Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae ranks second in Encounter 1 and first in Encounter 3. Hyacine has the broadest top-10 presence, placing tenth, sixth and third across the three fights. The pooled order is useful for seeing who appears most often, but it obscures where those appearances occur.

Three encounters, three different rankings

Encounter 1 has several prominent picks that sit much lower overall. The Dahlia appears in 19.7026% of its teams against 9.3999% overall, Firefly in 19.0407% against 9.0560%, and Fugue in 17.7684% against 8.3768%. Huohuo’s lead is similarly local: 26.5194% here against 13.5238% across the cycle. Those individual rates do not establish how often any of the characters were used together.

Encounter 2 is the most concentrated at the top. Alongside its four leaders, Trailblazer (Elation) reaches 26.6793%. The contrast with the other fights is substantial: Silver Wolf LV.999 appears in 56.9192% of Encounter 2 teams but 5.7074% of Encounter 3 teams, a gap of 51.2118 percentage points. Sparxie moves from 44.3881% in Encounter 2 to 4.8565% in Encounter 3. These are differences in observed selection, not evidence of comparative performance.

Encounter 3 instead puts Cyrene and Evernight near the front, with Castorice at 19.7954%. Phainon and Cerydra also stand out here at 13.8302% and 13.9763%, respectively, against overall rates of 6.1529% and 6.4997%. Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae is a particularly sharp counterpoint to Encounter 2: 32.2675% in the third fight, compared with 5.7883% in the second.

What the complete-team data can and cannot show

AstraVoy’s pinned product does not provide complete four-character rankings for 4.6.2, either across the cycle or for individual encounters. That means the character rankings above cannot identify the most-used team in any of the three fights. A separate list of qualified complete teams covers three cycles, from 4.4.1 through 4.6.2. The following are named examples from that list, ordered here by their observed counts, not a ranking of this cycle’s teams.

The separate rankings do show recurring complete-team choices, though they cannot tie those choices to a 4.6.2 encounter. Fugue, Firefly and The Dahlia appear together in listed teams completed by Ruan Mei, Trailblazer (Harmony) or Tribbie. Phainon, Cerydra and Cyrene appear together with Robin • Summeretto, Sparkle or Tribbie. Archer, Sparkle and Rin Tohsaka likewise recur with different fourth members, including Robin and Tribbie. These are observed combinations in the three-cycle list, not teams inferred from the individual character rates.

For this cycle, the dependable takeaway is about character selection rather than a verified four-person template: Encounter 1 favors a markedly different set of picks from Encounter 2, while Encounter 3 brings Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae, Cyrene and Hyacine to the top. Any claim that one complete team dominates 4.6.2 would need cycle-specific team rows that this dataset does not supply.
