All classes in Blue Archive

Considering the fact that Blue Archive is a story-driven RPG, there are not a lot of characters to choose from. However, the ones available are split into three different classes according to their utility in the game.

The three classes in Blue Archive are:

  • Attacker
  • Tank
  • Support and Healer

As their names suggest, it is fairly evident what characters from each of these classes specialize in. Before jumping into the rankings, you should note that characters in Blue Archive feature star ratings that reflect their in-game capabilities. However, these star ratings should not be considered as those to focus on, as there are several lower-rated characters who perform just as well in synergy with specific allies.

Best characters in Blue Archive: tier list

Attacker

Attackers are the main damage dealers in Blue Archive, but these characters suffer heavily in regard to defensive stats. For this reason, it is highly advised to not place these troops on the front line. Attackers tend to perform best when placed either in the middle or back row, as it not only gives them cover from the enemy’s attacks but also plenty of time to dish out damage.

Tank

As their name suggests, Tanks form the front line in Blue Archive. Considering their massive defensive stats, they are capable of soaking up any damage enemies might deal to your team. It’s essential to make sure that you’ve always got at least one tank in your party to serve as cover for your Attackers, Healers, and Supports.
