to me its not really the characters, more like their combinations, and there are a few kinds of situations i pick for (keep in mind i'm a stingy bastard and never use consumables. i see them as sx backups to sell if needed):

a)general endurance (go as long as possible wihtout resting), b)aoe clearing, c)single target: with either debuff, defense, magic or physical

a)is a pure succubi party (riala replaced by Altina until avalible) it has everything: simon for physical, yarra for lust, riala(altina) for arcane, everyone has aoe attacks (qum mass kiss with yarra), yarra and qum can keep evereyone stocked on mana and sp (dont forget simon renewal, and makes riala a lot more dangerous)

b)is uyae for heals but otherwise shockwaving, riala, altina, vhala (for aoe debuffs) and naili changed around/swapped as needed (or ran out of juice)

c)is carina for heals and defense, aka or vhala for debuffing (aka if a single boss, vhala if its many tough enemies and i have to take them out 1 by 1) then either varia (if she doesnt get 1 shot) or robin. Or the debuffer is replaced by hilstara to agro and stack more buffs on the team, but i find way too many enemies ignoring her. An another variant is without debuff and full on magic assault with robin, altina or riala and qum, all having lances of their owns thanks to robin synergy.

Based on all the above, i use all of them and each have their own niche which is amazing game desing by SL, and as such i dont think a tier list is really representative. I mean, yea varia deals insane damage but hilstara never dies. Both sound incrediable on their own, but in context it rarely makes the impact one would expect.
