People are saying the Otherworldly Legends are outclassed. Well how about you actually looked at them:

Girdorf: Spark version of Korzan, with an IAOESBB that damages a single target even more, with a strong self spark damage buff that probably stacks with other spark buffs. Has a single hit, so it's easy to spark.

Klaus: Has the new strongest BB momentum LS in the game with the strongest HP buff in the game, with BB momentum on SBB that ties with or surpasses anyone else combined with ATK/DEF down and ATK to DEF conversion. (admittedly I don't like him too much, but he's definitely not outclassed).

Isterio: Best status ailment lead, excluding Semira he has the best status ailment SBB, and boosts 15% HP on BB. His UBB offers the strongest weakness damage buffs in the game for two elements, allowing for strong OTKO squads. Plus he has a violin.

Raphil: Not only is she a mitigator (can't really outclass a mitigator, since you're usually using them for that skill alone), but she offers the strongest BC on spark buff on SBB (100% chance versus the previous 50 and 80% chances we had, and 1-3 BC instead of 1-2 or 1 BC), along with BC when attacked.

Reihard: A four element mitigator. That stacks with normal mitigation, further boosting your survivability. Then he has 35% boost to all parameters and nullifies status ailments on LS. He's a nullifier on BB and his ES lowers his BC requirement and makes him immune to status ailments so you don't need to put a nullifying sphere on him.

Maribelle: Strongest spark-oriented damage LS in the game (Chrome only offers 100% spark damage on LS, while Maribelle offers that along with an 80% damage buff. Here's the math (total attack times spark damage): Chrome: 1*2.5=2.5 times damage. Maribelle: 1.8*2.5=4.5 times damage.). She also has a potential 130% ATK buff from her ES, the strongest ATK buff from an ES in the game. Her multiplier on SBB can reach 1000%, and (from what I can understand from the text) spark damage also receives the critical damage multiplier. That doesn't even include her additional attack at the end of the turn, and the fact that her SBB is infinite and AOE.

Every skill they have either surpasses or equals older skills.
