Explanation
Fleur is an edge case where the tier rating system is especially fallible. While he’s an interesting jack-of-all-trades with few weaknesses like a lot of Water units, he is limited by being a Sniper with no utility. He’s always a touch worse than his competition, especially without BT3. However, he’s still so reliably good across practically all forms of content that it’s hard to place him any lower than S.
It’s worth noting that Fleur pairs particularly well with Hydrad due to Hydrad copying the effects of Fleur’s DEF ignore and self-chain doubling when doubling his chain. The synergy is strong enough to put Fleur on par damage-wise with most of S-tier at BT3, while also possessing unrivaled content flexibility.
