Okay, so I’ve been digging into this Blue Archive game lately, and let me tell you, figuring out which students are actually worth your time is a real headache. I mean, there are so many of them! So, I went down a rabbit hole and put together a tier list for 2023 to make sense of it all.
First off, I started by just playing the game—a lot. I wanted to get a feel for each student, see what they could do in battle, and how they stacked up against each other. I made sure to try a bunch of different team combinations. Trust me, team synergy is super important in this game.
Then, I hit the forums and online communities. You know, the usual spots where players hang out and discuss strategies. I was looking for any info I could get my hands on about which students were considered top-tier, which ones were just okay, and which ones to avoid. A lot of it was just opinions, but I started to see some patterns.
After gathering all that, I made a huge list of all the students in the game. It was a pain, but I needed to see the big picture. I looked at their stats, their skills, their roles—everything. And, of course, I factored in that 6% chance thing. I mean, you gotta get lucky sometimes, right? Especially when you’re aiming for those 3-star students at 200 pulls. Statistically speaking, you are going to get one at the very least and sometimes even two 3 star students at 200 pulls. The best special units such as Ibaragi Yoshimi and Okusora Ayane are essential because they support other team members with their abilities and passives. For instance, Amami Nodaka can boost other students’ attacks, while Sunaookami Shiroko is able to reduce the enemy’s defenses. The students in D-tier are not reliable, while those in S-tier are the best in the game.
Next, I started sorting them into tiers. It wasn’t easy. There were a lot of tough calls, and I’m sure some folks will disagree with my choices. But I tried to be as objective as possible. I used the classic S, A, B, C, D system. You know, S for the best of the best, and D for the ones that are, well, not so great.
My 2023 Tier List Breakdown
- S-Tier: These are the students you really want on your team. They’re powerful, they have great abilities, and they can carry you through tough battles. You know who I’m talking about.
- A-Tier: These students are also really good, but maybe not quite as overpowered as the S-tier ones. Still, they’re solid choices, and you can’t go wrong with them.
- B-Tier: These are your average students. They’re not bad, but they’re not amazing either. They can be useful in certain situations, but they’re not going to be your main damage dealers or anything.
- C-Tier: These students are a bit below average. They might have some niche uses, but for the most part, you’re better off with someone else.
- D-Tier: These are the students you probably want to avoid. They’re just not very good, and they’re going to hold you back more than they help.
So, after all that work, I finally had my tier list. It’s not perfect, of course. And the game is always changing, so who knows what will happen in the future. But for now, in 2023, I think it’s a pretty good guide for anyone trying to figure out which students to focus on in Blue Archive. And I hope this helps you build your dream team in Blue Archive!
