Bryon is an S-Level Marksman of the Wilder Faction. He deals exclusively Magic Damage, and his kit is centered around spamming his basic attacks.
The key part of his kit is his Ultimate, "Falcon Raid", which starts with a massive 1000 Energy and also generates another 1000 Energy at the start of the round, immediately allowing him to target the enemy tank and summon his bird: Elona. To maintain Elona, Bryon is constantly siphoning Energy, so utilizing units that can enhance his ATK SPD or grant him Energy directly will help him keep up his damage.
His normal skills, "Tacit Strike" and "Shadow Flash" are all multi-attacks. The former is a skill that deals damage several times while the latter one makes it so that all his normal attacks deal damage twice.
His Exclusive Weapon unlocks the "Spiritual Companion" skill, which causes Byron to damage and stun an opponent when he himself gets stunned or takes a burst of damage. This greatly helps him deal with opponents that target him specifically such as Silvina or Vala. His EX +5 further exacerbates this by giving Bryon the option to sacrifice Elona to save himself the first time he takes fatal damage, actually giving him some decent self-sustain options.
There is not much to say about Bryon himself. He does good, consistent single target damage and is focused around basic attacks.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Amazing and consistent single-target damage.
Has some great self-sufficient sustain after EX and Hero Focus.
Cons
Energy hungry to keep up Elona.
Magic Dealers currently lack dedicated debuffers to make them strong in Dream Realm, so Bryon isn't as good there as other DPS.

EX Investment
The EX investment information were created with the help of Seas0n, the creator of the
AFK Analytica community that supports AFK Arena and AFK Journey.
You can find their website here and their discord here.
Since the
Temporal Essence
and
Twilight Essence
are very hard to obtain, you have to be really careful with the using them to upgrade the EX weapon. And in this guide we ordered all characters by the priority when it comes to how much they need investment in their EX weapon to work well and where should you stop to get the best bang for your buck.
Why does the +8 breakpoint appear so often?
Because the raw stats you get from upgrading the EX weapon help you more than the passive in some cases. Also, to upgrade the EX from +5 to +8 you need only 30x
Temporal Essence
, while the remaining two levels require additional 45x
Temporal Essence
. So you get the best bang for your buck stopping at +8.
Color explanation:
+0 - the base investment for the character,
+5/8 - the next step that you should do when investing into that character,
+10/15 - the final step you should do when investing into that character - you can go beyond that later though once you have the Essences to spare.
