Disclaimer

We want to be clear that our personal experience with these characters served as the sole basis for the ranking. Yes, we expect a few clashes of opinions due to different experiences and observations, but a handful of readers will agree with most, if not all, of the rankings. Regarding the list, it can be very challenging to construct a perfect presentation of the given article. Still, we maintained our objectivity to bring you the Blue Archive character rankings.

S Tier

S Tier.

We will place the strongest characters in the S Tier. With them on your side, you’ll breeze past many challenging obstacles.

Hoshino

Hoshino, a supporter class, can sub-tank and increase damage by up to 1.5 times. A DPS-focused unit will still deal damage.

HP ATK DEF
3275 213 175

Cherino

Cherino has a DPS role and has access to heavy attacks. Her aim and precision make her a very handy character in the game. Players fairly new to the game will find it very easy to handle her due to that.

Iori has a very strong attack and defense base, making her one of the strongest DPS classes in the game.

HP ATK DEF
2591 391 20

Tsubaki

Ok, Tsubaki might not appear very strong at first glance. But once she has access to T4 equipment, she can be a terror to go against. She is a tank class.

HP ATK DEF
3201 189 30

A Tier

A Tier
A Tier.

The A rank of our Blue Archive Tier List 2023 will hold the place of some of the strongest characters of Blue Archive. However, we believe they can’t be placed in the S Tier due to a slight flaw in their game.

Atsuko

Atsuko will serve as the A Tier’s opening act. She is a tank class with healing abilities. She may heal herself while doing significant harm to her enemies. She has exceptional evasion and is incredibly agile for a tank class.

HP ATK DEF
3082 166 27

Mutsuki (New Year)

Mutsuki (New Year) can buff herself, boosting her defense. Overall, she is an excellent DPS class in the game.

HP ATK DEF
2372 209 80

Iori (Swimsuit)

Iori (Swimsuit) has a great damage output that can knock out the toughest enemies. However, the range of her attacks lets her down, which gives us a justifying reason for not placing her in S Tier.

HP ATK DEF
2591 391 20

Asuza (Swimsuit)

Asuza (Swimsuit) has access to high buff and mystic powers, making her a unique DPS class.

HP ATK DEF

HP ATK DEF
2729 254 24

HP ATK DEF
2495 393 19

B Tier

HP ATK DEF
2370 330 18

3147 119 29

HP ATK DEF
2499 295 79
