These labels organize the guides; they do not replace the exact descriptions shown in the current game. When an in-game term differs, record the game's wording first.

Using the same role labels makes it easier to compare a tier list with a team guide and to explain why a lower-ranked unit can still solve a particular problem. For confirmed high-level facts, see the Anime Mysterious wiki.
