Blue Archive Student Builds
| Student | General Skill Priority | Recommended Investment pre UE40 | Recommended Investment UE40 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Airi | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 3 / 1 / 1 / 7+ | 3 / 1 / 1 / 7+ | Has niche uses in ShiroKuro insane, Airi is able to perform her niche without any investment. If you really insist on raising her skills then I'd recommend getting her sub skill to level 7 |
 Akane | Basic = Enhanced = Sub | 5 / x / 1 / x | 5 / x / 1+ / x | Would recommend to only level up her EX Skill and avoid leveling her Enhanced Skill unless you know what you are doing (Leveling her enhanced skill affects her positioning) |
 Akane (Bunny) | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7 / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | A dedicated Mystic buffer with decent AoE damage, prioritize her sub skill over her basic and enhanced skills |
 Akari | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 1 / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / 4+ / 7+ | A strong red AoE unit, we recommend leveling her enhanced skill only if you need the survivability. Note that her basic and sub skill are RnG and is hard to trigger consistently |
 Ako | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | Best option for a DPS buffer in hypercarry comps comes with a decent heal aswell, prioritize maxing her sub skill, feel free to leave her basic and enhanced skill at level 7 |
 Aris | Enhanced > Basic = Sub | 5 / 4+ / M / 4+ | 5 / 7 +/ M / 7+ | We recommend getting her to UE40 before fully investing in Aris, she performs well in Perorodzilla and is usable in other blue raids. |
 Aru | Enhanced > Basic > Sub | 5 / M / M / 7+ | 5 / M / M / 7+ | A strong AoE and ST red DPS that can be used in both red raids, her basic skill becomes more consistent when she unlocks her Bond Item |
 Aru (New Year) | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 4 / 7 | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7 | Her skill set is designed for Chesed, feel free to invest into her sub skill if you need additional survivability on her kit |
 Asuna | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 3+ / 7+ / M / M | Mainly used in blue raids when you have no other alternatives or need multiple teams to clear. She scales well with investment. |
 Asuna (Bunny) | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 3+ / 7+ / 4 / 7+ | POST BOND ITEM 3+ / M / 4 / 7+ | Really wants bond item for bonus skill cost generation to perform well, she can still be used a as a DEF down without her bond item. |
 Atsuko | Enhanced > Basic = Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | Part of Arius Squad, a tank with AoE healing often used in Hieronymus |
 Ayane | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / x / 7 / 7+ | 5 / x / M / 7+ | Ayane's EX skill when invested can full heal the lantern in Hieronymus Insane with enough investment. Crit RES buff is kind of a pointless buff, we recommend leaving her basic skill at level 1. |
 Ayane (Swimsuit) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 4 / M | 5 / 7+ / 4+ / M | S.Ayane is able to deal high amounts of damage due to the DEF Ignore built in her EX and Basic Skill, this makes her a decent option for yellow raids with high DEF such as Binah. Consider her maxing her sub skill if you plan to invest in her, as it affects the entire team |
 Azusa | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / 4+ / M | 5 / M / 7+ / M | A core ST dps for Hieronymus and usable for Kaiten due to having a high multiplier on her EX skill. Azusa's basic skill is one of the few sources of DEF down as a red student. We recommend maxing her basic and sub skill as they both synergize well with each other. |
 Azusa (Swimsuit) | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / M / M | 5 / M / M / M | A strong ST blue DPS, usable in all 3 blue raids and can be used in Binah as her def down stacks with Akane and Maki, keep in mind that the DoT in her EX skill cannot crit |
 Cherino | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / M / 7 / M | 5 / M / M / M | Often used in Chesed but can be used in other raids due to her sub skill providing cost regen and being naturally tanky |
 Cherino (Hot Spring) | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7 / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | |
 Chihiro | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 1 / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / 1 / 7+ | Designed for HOD consider prioritizing her basic skill over sub if you dont plan on using Chihiro for HOD Insane. Enhanced skill can be left at level 1 as Chihiro's personal damage output isn't the best |
 Chinatsu | Enhanced > Sub > Basic | 5 / x / 7 / x | 5 / x / 7+ / x | Chinatsu has niche uses in Perorodzilla to cleanse the laser debuff and is able to full heal the lantern in Hieronymus Insane. However, Chinatsu is almost never your first option for either of those raids as there are better alternatives. Both Chinatsu's basic and sub skill should be raised if your team need more survivability |
 Chinatsu (Hot Spring) | Basic > Enhanced = Sub | 5 / M / 4 / 4+ | 5 / M / 4+ / 4+ | A support student that comes with 2 ATK SPD steriods, has great synergize with auto attackers such as Izuna and Maki. Would only recommend leveling her enhanced and sub if you need the additional survivability |
 Chise | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | Chise can fills the roles of a AoE blue damage dealer. While she does deal decent single target damage it is dependent on her sub skill proccing a 10% chance. |
 Eimi | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / X | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / X | A tank with a self heal and red armor, would recommend investing in either Eimi or Haruka as they mostly fulfill the same role for raids. |
 Fubuki | Basic > Sub = Enhanced | 1+ / M / M / X | 1+ / M / M / X | Designed for HOD, would not recommend investing in EX and Sub as her personal damage isn't anything to write home about. |
 Fuuka | Enhanced > Sub > Basic | 5 / x / 7 / x | 5 / x / 7 / x | Fuuka's EX skill can be used to reposition your team in ShiroKuro, I'd recommend leaving her sub skill at level 1 as a Crit RES buff won't be that useful |
 Fuuka (New Year) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7 / M | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | Reduces EX skill cost and buff Crit DMG, but unfortuantely sadly has to compete with Ako. Neither basic skill or enhanced skill are a top priority but i would recommend at least level 7 on both skills. |
 Hanae | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 3+ / x / 7 / M | 3+ / x / 7+ / M | One of the strongest sources of single target healing, would general advise against raising Hanae's basic skill as her sub and enhanced skill should take priority. |
Hanae (Christmas) | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7 / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | Provides AoE healing ALOT of AoE healing other than that she doesnt provide much else to the team other than her sub skill increasing Crit DMG to the whole team. It is important to note that Holy Night's Blessing stacks are shared with Serina (Christmas) |
 Hanako | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 3+ / x / 7+ / 7+ | 3+ / x / 7+ / 7+ | Similar to Ayane, Hanako fulfills the same niche as a AoE healer that can be used in Hieronymus. |
 Hare | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / x / x / x | 5 / x / x / x | I wouldn't really recommend using her anywhere else other than HOD, overall an extremely niche student. |
 Haruka | Basic = Sub = Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | A tank with high DEF+ HP and red armor, would recommend investing in either Eimi or Haruka as they mostly fulfill the same role for raids. Pre UE40 we recommend investing in all her skills equally then you can consider prioritizing her enhanced skill at UE40 |
 Haruna | Sub = Basic > Enhanced | 5 / M / 4+ / M | 5 / M / 7+ / M | Can be used in all blue raids, consider leveling her enchanced skill if you need the survivability. |
 Hasumi | Enhanced > Basic > Sub | 5 / M / M / 4+ | 5 / M / M / 4+ | While Hasumi is able to deal a high amount of ST damage she unfortunately wants a ALOT of investment to truly shine, performs well in all 3 yellow raids. Her sub skill isnt a high priority to level up and can be left at level 1 if you really want ot save on skill materials. |
 Hasumi (Track) | Enhanced > Basic = Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | Similar to normal Hasumi but blue |
 Hibiki | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7+ / M | 5 / 7 / 7+ / M | Teamwide Crit DMG buff and strong AOE dmg for Light/Red raids. Overall a great investment at any point of the game |
 Hibiki (Cheer Squad) | Basic = Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 4 | 5 / 7+ / M / 4 | Hibiki (Cheer Squad) specializes in dealing AoE damage in a large radius over a long time and i mean A LONG time. It takes about 2 mins to fully benefit from her EX skill making her usecase quite niche so invest at your own discretion. |
 Hifumi | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 3+ / x / 4+ / M | 3+ / x / 4+ / M | Having Cost recovery is kinda busted, unfortunately it does not have a 100% uptime and her EX skill has a high cost. Consider leveling her enhanced skill if hifumi/summon needs more survivability |
 Hifumi (Swimsuit) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 4 / 7 / M | 5 / 4 / 7 / M | Hifumi has a high EX skill cost of 10 making it hard to fit her in to a rotation, she can still find niche use in raids such as Chesed. |
 Himari | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / x / x / M | 5 / x / M / M | A strong DPS buffer that comes with ATK buff and COST REGEN for the entire team. At UE40 her enhanced skill+ increases buff duration, we recommend investing into her enhanced skill+ at this point. |
 Hina | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / M / M / M | 5 / M /M / M | A strong auto attacker especially with her other skills invested, EX skill can be used for kaiten and general content. |
 Hina (Swimsuit) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7 / M | 5 / 7 / 7 / M | Often used in Kaiten extreme but falls off in insane due to low damage multipliers, you could consider leveling her enhanced skill+ if you have plans to use her in HOD |
 Hinata | Enhanced > Sub > Basic | 5 / 4+ / M / 7+ | 5 / 4+ / M / 7+ | Needs her Bond Item for the much needed ATK boost, with her Bond Item she becomes a decent choice for Perorodzilla |
 Hiyori | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / M / x / M | 5 / M / x / M | Part of Arius squad and wants to be in a full Arius squad to take full advantage of her DEF down debuff. Max out her sub skill first for the team wide ATK buff then consider leveling her basic skill for the additional DEF down. |
 Hoshino | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | A popular choice for yellow armor tanks, if you plan to max out her skills we recommend prioritizing her basic and enhanced skill. |
 Hoshino (Swimsuit) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | Made red raids an absolute joke with her EX skill increase explosive effectiveness, she also has cost recovery which makes her a great choice in other raids. Invest into her basic and enhanced skill if you need more suvivability. |
 Iori | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / x / M | 5 / M / x / M | Iori is most likely to be your goto pick for yellow dps, she performs well in all yellow raids. We recommend leaving her enhanced skill at level 1 if you have no plans to use Iori in PvP. |
 Iori (Swimsuit) | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 1 + / M / 7+ / M | 1+ / M / M / M | Has two different sources of DOT from her basic and sub skill this makes her a great auto attacker. However, outside of her niche she does not provide much else. Feel free to leave her EX skill at level 1 as her main source of damage comes from her auto attacks. |
 Iroha | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | While Iroha's EX skill comes at a high cost of (8 to 6) it is more than worth the pay off as it makes general content an absolute joke to go through. She is also a core DPS for Perorodzilla and finds alot of usage in PvP. Overall, you can't really go wrong investing into Iroha. While all her skills are useful we recommend maxing out her sub and enhanced skill first as they provide more to the team and Iroha's personal damage output |
 Izumi | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 3 / M / x / 7+ | 3+ / M / 4+ / 7+ | An decent auto attacker with a self heal in her EX skill, would not recommend investing in her as there are several better alternatives. |
 Izumi (Swimsuit) | Basic = Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 4+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 4+ | A decent auto-attacker, she can find some use in Kaiten (Extreme) raids due to her CC abilities to stop the Red Ranger from deploying her CC against your team. She can also find some use in HOD with her CC abilities though it might be tough relying on her sub skill's CC due to it's 10% chance to proc. |
 Izuna | Basic > Enhanced = Sub | 5 / M / 7+ / M | 5 / M / M / M | A strong blue auto attacker, she can reposition her self into safespot for ShiroKuro. Highly recommended to level up all her skills as they synergize well with each other |
 Izuna (Swimsuit) | Basic > Enhanced = Sub | 5 / M / M / M | 5 / M / M / M | The ability to lower Crit DMG RES is already a really strong debuff on its own but having a 100% uptime just makes her quite silly. She also has Focus Assault making her a great pick up in GOZ. Overall we highly recommend to invest in all of her skills as they have great synergy with each other. |
 Junko | Sub > Basic = Enhanced | 5 / 4+ / 4+ / 7+ | 5 / 4+ / 4+ / 7+ | While Junko is a strong yellow dps, she would generally not be your first choice due to the abundance of yellow dps options available. Her basic skill can be used for some niche strategies for its invincibility. |
 Juri | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 1 / x / x / x | 1 / x / x / x | In theory she CAN be used for Kaiten to reposition, but why would you do that to yourself, she can perform her role completely fine with no investment so save those gehenna mats for better students. |
 Kaede | Sub = Enhanced > Basic | 5 / x / 7 / 7 | 5 / x / 7+ / 7 | Providing a shield to all allies is actually a really decent effect for GOZ, when choosing between whether to max her enhanced or sub skill, we recommend enhanced if you want a slight buff to your EX skill's shield or Sub skill for a boost to your entire teams HP. |
 Karin | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7+ / M | 5 / 7 / M / M | A strong yellow nuker that can also be used as a ATK statstick. We recommend maxing out her sub skill first for the teamwide ATK buff then consider leveling or maxing her enhanced skill to increase her personal damage output and to provide additional ATK as a statstick. |
 Karin (Bunny) | Sub = Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / M / 7 | 5 / 7+ / M / 7 | A core DPS in Perorodzilla, however Bunny Karin needs ALOT of invest to be able to perform well (UE40) and Ui to help make her skill rotation more managable |
 Kayoko | Enhanced Skill > Basic = Sub | 5 / x / 7+ / x | 5 / x / M / x | One of the best CC options for HOD insane if you level her enhanced skill, she doesnt really have much use outside of her niche. |
 Kazusa | Sub = Basic = Enhanced | 5 / M / 7+ / M | 5 / M / M / M | Her entire kit is literally stacking ATK buffs, would recommend to fully max out her skills if you plan on investing in her (Although i wouldnt recommend investing in Kazusa with Mika just deleting yellow raids) |
 Koharu | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / x / 7+ | 5 / M / x / 7+ | One of the best healers in game, being a striker allows you to be more flexible when choosing your special students Would not recommend investing in her Enhanced skill unless you really value her personal damage output |
 Kokona | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 3+ / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 3+ / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | Has a strong ST heal and EX cost reduction for the entire team, EX cost reduction comes form Kokona's sub skill, however the cost reduction does not increase with levels only its healing. |
 Kotama | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / x / x / M | 5 / x / x / M | Really wants at 3* to unlock her sub skill, I'd recommend maxing her EX and sub skill as they provide a really nice ATK buff. Both her basic and enhanced skill can be ignored as it doesnt provide much to the team. |
 Kotori | Enhanced > Sub > Basic | 5 / x / x / x | 5 / x / x / x | Has shield + reposition which can be useful in GOZ and ShiroKuro, other than that would not recommend investing in her other skills |
 Koyuki | Enhanced > Sub = Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7 / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | Koyuki's EX Skill deals AOE with a random effect and damage each time it is used (The randomness of her EX skill is not something you should worry about). Her basic skill is also able to ricochet between enemies. |
 Maki | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / M / M | 5 / M / M / M | Core for Binah and can be used in other raids as a DPS, would recommend maxing her basic skill first as it benefits the entire team + DEF down being more valuable in Binah |
 Mari | Sub > Basic = Enhanced | 5 / x / x / 7+ | 5 / x / x / 7+ | Provides a strong single target shield that cleanses 1 debuff, often used in Perorodzilla to cleanse laser. Both her basic and enhanced skill can be ignored as Mari's personal damage output is basically non-existent. |
 Mari (Track) | Sub > Enhanced = Basic | 5 / M / 7+ / M | 5 / M / M / M | Highly recommended to invest in all of her skills as they all help increase her Healing, at high investments she is able to brute force Hieronymus lantern in insane |
 Marina | Basic = Enhanced = Sub | 5 / M / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / M / M / M | Catered for PvP, invest at your own discretion |
 Mashiro | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 4+ / x | 5 / 7+ / 4+ / x | Mashiro can be a potent single target damage dealer, however her EX skill has the other half of its damage locked behind a 75% chance of proccing. There is no need to invest in her sub skill unless you want to use her in PvP, as Accuracy is mainly a dead stat in PvE |
 Mashiro (Swimsuit) | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 4 / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 4 / 7+ / 7+ | Mainly designed for PvP to take out EVA tanks like Tsubaki. |
 Michiru | Enhanced = Sub > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | A welfare S.Azusa, Prioritize leveling her enhanced and sub at UE40 |
 Midori | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 4+ / 4+ / 7+ | 5 / 4+ / 7+ / 7+ | Would not recommend investing in her skills past lvl 4 as you dont really get much benefit from raising her skills after that |
 Mika | Post UE40 Enhanced > Sub > Basic | 5 / M / M / M | 5 / M / M / M | UE50 5/M/M/M, dont ask questions you'll thank me later |
Miku | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | ? | ? | She's a collab character that has never had a rerun, but if you do have her just note that she isn't very strong and there are several better alternatives exist. |
 Mimori | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / M / x / x | 5 / M / x / x | Mainly used for her ability to reposition in raids such as ShiroKuro, the healing from her basic skill can come in handy but just remember that she cant heal herself Invest in her enhanced and sub skill at your own discretion |
 Mine | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / 7 / 7+ | 5 / M / M / 7+ | Mina's skill set is mainly designed for Kaiten, her EX skill repositions and taunts all enemies caught in its AoE while decreasing the DEF and EVA of enemies this effect is doubled if the enemy is medium sized (Kaiten P1). |
 Misaki | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | A red dps that deals consistent damage and is often used in used in Hieronymus. Part of Arius Squad. |
 Miyako | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / x / 4+ / 4+ | 5 / x / 4+ / 4+ | A tank designed for HOD, you'd want to max her EX skill if you have plans to use her in HOD Invest in her enhanced and sub skill if you need more survivability, feel free to ignore her basic skill as her damage output isnt important |
 Miyu | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | A dps that requires other dps characters to do damage, overall very niche and isnt very strong alone invest at your own discretion |
 Moe | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7 / M | 5 / 7 / M / M | A really strong yellow AoE damage dealer for Chesed however has alot of competition for that role, you can leave her basic skill at level 7 |
 Momoi | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / x / 7 / M | 5 / x / 7+ / M | A staple AoE yellow dps, you can leave her basic skill at lvl 1 as accuracy is mainly a dead stat for PVE |
 Mutsuki | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / M / M / x | 5 / M / M / x | A strong red AoE that can be used for ST content, if you can work around her basic skill's range by repositioing her or pairing her with Tomoe to decrease her range. Unfortunately her sub skill providing accuracy makes it a dead skill |
 Mutsuki (New Year) | Sub > Basic = Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | A strong AoE blue dps that performs well in GOZ and Perorodzilla while also being usable in Chesed. I would recommend to invest in all her skills but prioritizing enhanced skill at UE40. |
 Nagisa | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7 / M | 5 / 7 / M / M | Nagisa fills in the of being an AoE DEF debuffer for Light armor enemies and Crit DMG buffs to Explosive students, mainly designed for Hieronymus. |
 Natsu | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / 4+ / 4+ | 5 / M / 7+ / 4+ | A tank with a self cleanse her skillset is catered towards Perorodzilla, her basic skill is worth prioritizing over her enhanced and sub skill as it helps with the teams over all damage output. Feel free to invest in her enhanced and sub skill if you need more survivability. |
 Neru | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 4 / 7+ / M | 5 / 4 / M / M | Quite hard to justify investing in her as there are plenty of great alternatives for a yellow dps. |
Neru (Bunny Suit) | Basic = Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / 4+ / 4+ | 5 / M / 7+ / 7+ | Would heavily recommend to get her EX skill to level 3 to unlock its secondary effect (CC), while Neru bunny does have relatively decent personal damage output it shouldnt be a priority to invest in these skills if you have other priority students to raise |
 Noa | Sub > Enhanced = Basic | 5 / x / x / 7+ | 5 / x / x / 7+ | Has a potent DEF down debuff while being able to apply Focused Assault to 1 enemy this allows her to find niche usage in raids such as GOZ. While her basic skill may have a high damage multiplier, Noa unfortunately has a low ATK stat making her unable to make the most out of her basic skill. Her Sub skill is also worth noting as it helps increase all the debuff durations applied to an enemy |
 Nodoka | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 1 / x / x / x | 1 / x / x / x | Gomen Nodoka, provides alot of accuracy buffs which sadly isnt useful alot of PvE content. |
 Nodoka (Hot Spring) | Sub > Basic = Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | One of the strongest healers in the game when invested, she also comes with an ATK sub which is quite rare on a healer. |
 Nonomi | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / M / 7 / 4+ | 5 / M / M / 4+ | A free AoE yellow student, often used in Chesed, you could also use her as an auto attacker in other raids such as HOD or Binah just dont expect too much from her. |
 Nonomi (Swimsuit) | Enhanced > Sub > Basic | 5 / 7+ / M / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | An absolute monster in red raids, mainly in Urban she does however want a high amount of investment (UE40) to truly shine. It is also important to note that she has blue armor which is quite rare for an red dps. |
 Pina | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 4 / 7 / M | 5 / 4+ / 7+ / M | Basically a 1* Maki, Pina wants to be able to standstill for a long duration to be able to activate her sub skill. She also has a self heal built into her kit allowing her to sustain herself (Note the heal is only once per battle) |
 Saki | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 1 / x / 7 / M | 1 / x / 7 / M | Similar to Chihiro, Saki's skill set is designed for HOD but has an AoE EX skill instead. Her basic skill can be left at level 1 as her personal damage output isnt anything to write home about. Consider raising her enhanced skill after sub skill as Saki can be used as an ATK stat stick. Saki's EX skill can also be left at level 1 as the stun duration does not increase with levels. |
 Saori | Basic = Enhanced = Sub | 5 / M / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / M / M / 7+ | Wants to be used in an Arius team (Note that Azusa counts as Arius for Saori), while she is able to deal a high amount of damage with a guaranteed crit, she unfortunately has alot of competition for this role |
 Saya | Sub > Basic = Enhanced | 5 / 7 / 7 / x | 5 / 7 / M / x | You could potentially use her a red AoE damage dealer but there are better alternatives that can do her role better and with less investment. She should not be a priority to raise due to the abundance of better red AoE students. |
 Saya (Casual) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7+ / M | 5 / 7 / 7+ / M | Similar to Moe, Saya (Casual) is a great yellow AoE damage dealer for Chesed but has alot of competition for that role. Unlike her original version she comes with a Crit DMG sub instead of a Crit sub, this makes leveling her sub skill worthwhile. |
 Sena | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / M / x / M | 5 / M / x / M | Mainly used in Hypercarry comps, while does provide healing it shouldn't be relied on as her healing isn't very good. Feel free to ignore her enhanced skill completely if you want to save on Gehenna mats. |
 Serika | Basic = Enhanced = Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | A very "Brain Off" auto attacker use her ex skill from time to time and watch her rack up damage without you noticing It honestly doesnt matter which skill you prioritize leveling first, although as a personal preference I recommend raising all of them equally |
 Serika (New Year) | Enhanced > Basic > Sub | 5 / 7 / M / 1 | 5 / 7 / M / 1 | Can be used in Chesed but wants ALOT of investment to make her work (UE40). Her sub skill can be completely ignored as Crit DMG RES is mostly a dead stat. |
 Serina | Basic = Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / x | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / x | Your goto healer for most content, as she is accessible by being a 1*. Serina's EX skill heals a decent chunk of HP while only haveing a cost of 2 and her basic skill provides cost free healing. Leave her sub skill at level 1 as CC RES is a dead stat most of the time. |
Serina (Christmas) | Basic > Enhanced = Sub | 5 / M / x / x | 5 / M / x / x | Performs well in long fights due to stacking crit damage and piercing effectiveness buffs, her basic skill takes priority over her enhanced and sub skill as it increases helps increase the damage of the entire team. Both enhanced and sub skill can be leveled if you require the additional survivability. |
 Shigure | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 5 / M / 7+ / M | 5 / M / M / M | Good for wave clear, now if only we had a red raid that requires mobbing, both her basic and sub skill should be prioritized over her enhanced skill until you have UE40 |
 Shimiko | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / x / 1 / x | 5 / x / 7 / x | Most of the time you'll want to use Shizuko instead. However, if for some reason you refuse to raise Shizuko; Shimeko is able to block 1 ball in ShiroKuro Insane. |
 Shiroko | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7 / 7 / 7+ | 5 / 7 / 7+ / 7+ | Her EX skill is commonly use to cycle through other skills quicker and it is currently the cheapest way to break Kaiten p2 shield. She performs relatively well as an auto attacker |
 Shiroko (Cycling) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | Similar to her original version she is a relatively good auto attacker especially against enemeis with a debuff applied on to them. She is also apply a ATK down debuff to enemies in an AoE, which can help the teams overall survivability |
 Shizuko | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7 / x / 7 | 5 / 7 / x / 7 | Shizuko has a niche usecase in ShiroKuro Insane where she is able to block 2 balls in phase 1. The minimum required HP for the cover is roughly around 27-28k. |
 Shizuko (Swimsuit) | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 3+ / M / 7 / M | 3+ / M / 7+ / M | A really strong Special student that comes with several utility skills built into her kit. Shizuko (Swimsuit)'s EX skill allows her to reposition all allies in the striker team and provide them a long lasting shield, this lets her find usage in several raids such as GOZ and ShiroKuro. |
 Shun | Basic > Sub = Enhanced | 3+ / M / 7+ / 7+ | 3+ / M / M / M | Often used in PvP and speedrunning raids for initial cost generation, if you plan to use her purely for initial cost generation you can consider maxing out her basic skill and ignoring everything else. |
 Shun (Small) | Sub > Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | While Shun (Small) does have a very high damage output, you unfortunately have to plan your rotation around her sub skill. If you plan on investing into Shun (Small) we recomend unlocking her Bond Item as it increases her Crit DMG and allows her basic skill to ignore 44% of the enemy's DEF |
 Sumire | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7 / 7 | 5 / 7+ / M / 7 | Sumire is able to fulfill 2 roles being a tank while dealing decent AoE yellow damage. Sumire's skill priority can be depend on how you want to use her, focus on her basic skill if you want to maximize her AoE damage and her sub and enhanced for survivability (Not recommended). |
 Suzumi | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | 3+ / 1+ / x / x | 3+ / 1+ / x / x | Honestly there isn't much reach to invest into Suzumi as there are other alternatives. However, if you do insist then we recommend to at least get her EX skill to level 3 to unlock its CC effect. You can also leave her basic skill at level 1 as its CC duration does not increase. |
 Tomoe | Basic = Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7 / x | 5 / 7+ / M / x | Her ex skill is mostly used to reposition Mutsuki to allow her to hit all of the mines. Other than that she is a very niche student that rarely finds play. It is also hard to justify raising her sub skill as there is almost no usecase for it |
 Tsubaki | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 3+ / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 3+ / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | Your goto tank for most situations, Tsubaki's skill set has alot of utility (EVA, a bag slot for DEF, a self heal and CC). Her skill set allows her to be versitile to find use in several raids. |
 Tsukuyo | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 3 / 7+ / 7 / x | 3 / 7+ / 7+ / x | Tsukuyo is quite a unique tank with her basic skill applying a def down to a medium sized enemy. Her basic skill allows her to find niche use in Kaiten as all enemies in P1 are medium sized. Tsukuyo also has a built in self heal with her EX skill restoring a percentage of her HP each time she takes damage. Her sub skill can be left at level 1 as there is barely any usecase for it |
 Tsurugi | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7 / 1 / 7+ | POST BOND ITEM 5 / M / M / 7+ | Tsurugi finds niche usage in Chesed with her AoE basic ATK and ability to sustain herself after a kill. With the addition of Tsurugi's Bond Item her basic skill gains an additional ATK SPD buff, this makes investing into her basic skill worthwhile. |
 Tsurugi (Swimsuit) | Sub = Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / M / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | Performs well in ShiroKuro and other blue raids, we recommend prioritizing her enhanced skill and sub skill as they synergize well with her EX skill. |
 Ui | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / 7+ / x / x | 5 / 7+ / x / x | Your first priority when raising UI should be getting her EX skill to level 5 to bring down the cost of her ex skill from 5 to 3. Her basic skill provides decent amount of crit to allies in her circle, while her sub and enhanced skill can be completely ignored as her personal damage output doesnt matter |
 Utaha | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 4 | 5 / 7+ / M / 4 | With the addition of Utaha's Bond Item she has become a real menace in PvP, you can also use her turrets to bait certain attacks such as Perorodzilla's laser. |
 Utaha (Cheer Squad) | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 5 / M / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / M / M / M | An auto attacker that performs very similarly to Izuna. Her sub skill allows her to deal additional damage to enemies inflicted with a debuff, if you want to take advantage of her sub skill as she does not have a debuff built in to her kit. |
 Wakamo | Enhanced > Basic > Sub | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | A very strong Blue dps but needs other dps students to deal damage. Her EX skil scales off her ATK stat so it is highly recommended to max out her enhanced skill first followed by her basic then sub. |
 Wakamo (Swimsuit) | Enhanced > Basic > Sub | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / M / 7+ | Her skill set is designed for HOD, Wakamo (Swimsuit)'s basic skill provides a stacking ATK buff over the course of 3 mins. We recommend prioritizing her basic skill over her enhanced skill until you have UE40 unlocked. |
 Yoshimi | Basic > Enhanced > Sub | 3+ / x / x / 7+ | 3+ / x / x / 7+ | Yoshimi fills the role of an AoE damage dealer while having CC which means she can be used in HOD or Chesed, unfortunately she does neither role too well and is outclassed by other alternatives. |
 Yuuka | Basic > Sub > Enhanced | PRE BOND ITEM 3+ / M / 7+ / 4+ | POST BOND ITEM 3+ / M / M / 4+ | A solid EVA tank with a high HP pool. We recommend investing in to her Enhanced skill AFTER you unlock her Bond Item as it gives a 500 DEF, which increases the value of her enhanced skill. Yuuka also has decent personal damage output so we recommend investing into her basic skill |
 Yuuka (Track) | Sub > Basic > Enhanced | 5 / 7+ / 7 / 7+ | 5 / 7+ / 7+ / 7+ | Yuuka (Track) has alot of utility built in to skill set which allows her to fulfill sevaral roles in a team, her reposition and giving shields to the entire team make her a great choice for GOZ and a decent option in ShiroKuro. She also has decent personal damage output with her auto attacks combined with her sub and enhanced skill |
 Yuzu | Sub = Enhanced > Basic | 5 / 7+ / M / M | 5 / 7+ / M / M | Very hard to justify investing into Yuzu when Kazusa and Mika exist. Invest at your discretion |
