A student's tier is its raid usage: 40% for S, 20% for A, 10% for B, 3% for C, and below that D.
What each Blue Archive student does
S tier: Top picks
Aris (Armed)Her EX is a choice: Sword of Light draws a new EX card and adds a charge, while Awakening: Supernova fires for up to 1330% on one target plus a line hit, tripled at full charge.
Hina (Dress)Her EX becomes a three-shot sequence from a Concentrated Fire stance: two line shots for up to 618% and a closing shot for up to 1,288%, each always dealing maximum damage.
Hoshino (Swimsuit)Her EX buffs every ally around her for 50 seconds, adding 40.5% Attack and a 104% Explosive damage bonus against enemies weak to it.
KisakiHer EX raises one ally's EX damage by up to 80.7% for 15 seconds, which suits a damage dealer who does most of their work through EX.
RioCopies an ally's EX: she draws a card, makes a one-use duplicate of the target's EX at 1 less Cost, and gives that ally up to 51.4% more Attack for 20 seconds.
Nagisa (Swimsuit)Lets one ally cast on borrowed Cost: Cost Over allows them to spend up to 5 Cost they don't have yet, and it comes with up to 78.6% more Critical Damage for 26 seconds.
The other tiers have the same summary on each student's own page.
How this list is made
Each student is placed on what they do across Blue Archive as it plays now: Total Assault and Grand Assault bosses, Joint Firing Drills, missions and the Tactical Challenge, weighing skill multipliers, cost and the buffs they give a team, and on how often ranked Global players bring them to raids. A unique item counts once it is in the game. The list is revised as new students, raids and balance changes arrive.
The Raids tab is made differently: it ranks students by how much players use them in raids, from Plana Stats, rather than by tier lists.
