Introduction

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.

HPATKDEF
3275213175

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

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

HPATKDEF
259139120

HPATKDEF
320118930

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.

HPATKDEF
308216627

Mutsuki (New Year)

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

HPATKDEF
237220980

Iori (Swimsuit)

259139120

Asuza (Swimsuit)

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

HPATKDEF
231910819

B Tier

HPATKDEF
