Ragra and Beiorg do have some notable similarities, but it's important to note that they're quite different from each other.

Ragra's an interesting unit because she mixes both utility and offensive power. Her BC-managing BB grants various BC filling buffs - burst BC fill, BCoT, BC/HC droprate boosts, and a BC Efficacy boost; while her heavily offensive AoE + Single Target SBB grants high damage output - a Spark Vulnerability chance, as well as a self Attack, Spark Damage, and Critical Hit Rate boost. Keep note that these self buffs stack with their normal counterparts - for example, having a squadwide Attack buff active stacks with Ragra's selfish Attack buff, further boosting Ragra's raw attack. Her Skill Point options boost her usability even further, allowing you to improve her supportive and offensive buffs. '''She's mainly used for huge boosts of damage, so if you're in need to clear something quickly or if you're just in need for some top-tier BC management, Ragra's the one for you. '''

Beiorg, like Ragra, mixes both utility and offensive power, but what's noteworthy about him is that he doesn't gain his damage output through any selfish buffs, but actually through consecutive buffs and top-tier stat boosts. It actually becomes more effective as time goes on - the longer the battle lasts, the more powerful it becomes. Its BB grants a raw Attack and Defense boost as well as a Defense/Recovery boost relative to a unit's Attack stat, topped off with an HC when attacked buff; while its consecutive use SBB grants a full BC fill, an HC/BC when attacked buff, and a raw Attack and Defense buff. Admittedly, these buffs do seem a fair bit lackluster; but note that what makes him good lies in his versatile Skill Point options. Through these options, you could boost Beiorg's utility through miscellaneous buffs such as an Angel Idol proc or by getting a Defense boost relative to a unit's Attack (which through the SP options can become one of the most top-tier Defense boosts when used in tandem with other Defense boosts), as well as further boosting its power boosts over time. One big problem with this is that he's not effective in short battles, since not only does his turn boost not carry over as to the next battle, it also means he doesn't have time to set up. It's honestly better to use Beiorg in longer, more challenging battles (such as Trials and Strategy Zones) though - this way, its damage output is maximized.

I hope this helped! (^^)/
