Summary
The PvP mode present inBlue Archiveprovides an extensive tactical space of play, with different characters being best suited to certain roles, such as tanks, attackers, healers, and supports, all of which have to complement one another to be effective as a whole. Virtually all the characters in this list are effective in high-level team compositions, but each has enough special properties that make themstrong options in almost any given comp.
Whether it be durable tanks, high-impact attackers, or all-rounder healers, this list of eight has more than shown their colors in PvP. Starting from strong to very OP in PvP, all of them are crowned with what makes them indispensable to those who aim to become the champion.
Combat Class
Striker
Hoshino introduces stability plus sabotage, with gun skills that dominate the positioning of enemies. Her EX skill is a backblow that stuns the opponent in an area, making it perfect to stop rushes and create team dynamics in that situation. Hoshino is strong when paired with big numbers and shield synergy, andhelps to use the positioning of the opponents, exploited by teammates in a 2-tank composition.
A great boost in Outdoor PvP, Hoshino is capable of pushing forward mobs at the frontline, making room for the backliners. Together with a durable tank such as Tsubaki, she will contribute to controlling the maps and will punish blatant advances; hence, she is a stable initiator and offensive force.
Shun is a dual-threat: she starts matches with bonus SP and delivers precise, crit-rich attacks. Her EX skill attacks the enemy with the most attacks and can repeatedly destroy backliners, usually in one hit, before they can retaliate. Such an opening burst also charges the cycle of teammates, so Shun is an essential part of the burst comps.
This is an attacker that is good at shutting down enemy planning first: her early SP can execute doubles on the first turn, and her very high crit load severely weakens sloppy formations. First move advantage can be a determining factor in PvP, and Shun has a reputation for providing powerful openings.
Special
Although Serina is low-ranked, she compares well with other healers when playing PvP. Her economic EX skill offers focused healing and repositioning of her teammates within the battlefield so that important allies have higher chances of survival. She has healing scales that give special equipment to increase recovery chances andextend the length of endurance for a team.
Serina is in conservative or aggressive comps. She is an excellent choice as an addition to PvP because her cooldown is short, and players only need to spend minimal resources on her. A low investment and high-impact, it is a pick that is very much underutilized at high-ranked plays.
Koharu is unique because she can resurrect fallen teammates during the match, making otherwise winning moments into opportunities to turn things around. With the right balance of healing and resurrection skills, and a low cost of those skills, she makes an effective, stand-out healer in PvP fights.
Koharu is most suited to protracted battles as it has sustained performance even in stressful moments. She synergizes with other tanks such as Tsubaki, making stall comps viable, which can outlast bursty attackers, and sway the balance of the match towards her team.
Himari is not only a support, but also the promoter of destruction. Her aura greatly affirms the attacking capability of her teammates, which maximizes the strength of attackers and other heavy hitters in the team. These buffs render otherwise sub-par DPS units to cannon-like levels of hitting power.
Himari takes ordinary damage into the match-deciding offense on power-forward teams. Her existence turns defense into proactive compositions where every PvP composition gets a dose of poweralong with a knockout punch capability.
Tsubaki comes on top of the tank picks with her ridiculous amount of durability and usefulness in PvP. Her EX skill taunts the enemies and greatly increases their defenses, forcing her enemies to attack her to protect their helpless allies.
She also has self-healing, and it takes effect when her HP is low and, in most cases, negates near-death. Also, her reload mechanic reduces damage received. According to PvP lovers, leaving Tsubaki out is a mistake: she is a part of almost every optimal build.
Ako is a blend between healing support and offensive usage. Her EX skill increases the crit damage to allies and recovers HP over time. She is cheap and efficient at cycling, which makes her a staple in aggressive comps.
Ako opens high-reward, high-danger team compositions with the ability to boost burst capability but keep healing safety nets. She is loved because she can keep front-line powerhouses and back-line snipers both active,bringing both damage and sustainability.
Ranking regularly in the top tier, Iori brings unreal amounts of piercing damage, especially with her EX skills. Her 3-shot EX plus a splash means she is a one-woman demolition company. She isespecially powerful at destroying the tanksof the opponent and revealing the backliners within one shot.
With comp inclusion such as SP boosters like Shun or specialist buff assist support like Hibiki, Iori becomes unstoppable. High precision, power, and fun to use describe PvP meta dominance, and it mostly always tops the charts for PVP.
