Tier Rankings

S-Tier Classes (Top Meta Picks)

1. Verdant Oracle (Healer)

Sub Specs: Smite / Lifebind
Playstyle: Primary Healer / Support

2. Stormblade (Melee DPS)

Sub Specs: Iaido Slash / Moonstrike

Stormblade is the highest burst DPS class in BPSR. It relies heavily on precision and timing but rewards mastery with unmatched single-target damage. The i-frame mechanics make it incredibly skill-based yet rewarding.

Pros

3. Marksman (Ranged DPS)

Sub Specs: Beastmaster / Falconry

Marksman blends consistent DPS with utility through pet mechanics. Beastmaster shines in AoE-heavy scenarios, while Falconry dominates single-target fights. Pet AI can be unreliable but remains one of the most complete DPS kits overall.

A-Tier Classes

4. Shield Knight (Tank)

Sub Specs: Recovery / Shield

Shield Knight excels as the pure defensive frontliner, combining aggro control, blocks, and minor heals. The hybrid sustain playstyle makes it ideal for players who prefer flexible tanking over high DPS.

Pros

• Extremely tanky and reliable
• Provides self-healing and team sustain
• Adaptable to various encounters

Cons

• Slow movement and attack speed
• Low offensive output

Skill to Play: ★★★★★★ (6/10)

5. Beat Performer

Sub Specs: Dissonance / Concerto
Playstyle: Buffing / Healing DPS

Beat Performer is the melodic core of support play, mixing rhythm-based buffs with light damage output. Dissonance favors hybrid DPS, while Concerto strengthens team buffs and recovery. Demanding mana management makes it more technical than Verdant Oracle but equally rewarding.

Pros

• Heals while dealing damage
• Boosts team damage and crit
• Great sustained AoE support

Cons

• Complex resource management
• Weaker solo healing potential

Skill to Play: ★★★★★ (5/10)

Wind Knight offers incredible mobility and fast-paced combat, perfect for skilled players. Vanguard delivers burst DPS, while Skyward expands AoE potential. Although bugs and precision demand can frustrate some players, the payoff is impressive.

Pros

• Extremely fast and fluid gameplay
• High damage when mastered
• Low cooldown rotations

Cons

• Requires high mechanical skill
• Occasional gameplay bugs

Skill to Play: ★★★★★★★★★ (9/10)
PvE Power: ★★★★★★★★ (8/10)
Tier: A

B-Tier Classes

7. Frost Mage (Ranged AoE DPS)

Sub Specs: Icicle / Frostbeam
Playstyle: AoE Burst / Crowd Control

Frost Mage provides unmatched area control and sustained AoE DPS. Its weakness lies in low defense and the rooted animation of beam attacks, but for dungeon farming and mob-heavy content, it remains strong.

Pros

• Best AoE control in the game
• Reliable for group content
• High repositioning potential

Cons

• Fragile and easily punished
• Beam roots the user

Skill to Play: ★★★★★ (5/10)
PvE Power: ★★★★★★★ (7/10)
Tier: B

8. Heavy Guardian

Sub Specs: Earthfort / Block
Playstyle: Bruiser / Crowd Control Tank

Heavy Guardian is a sturdy entry-level tank with solid damage mitigation. Its crowd control and mob grouping are useful in dungeons, though its animation speed and mobility limit its long-term meta relevance.

Pros

• Excellent mob grouping
• High damage reduction
• Beginner-friendly tank

Cons

• Very slow attack animations
• Less flexible than Shield Knight

Skill to Play: ★★★ (3/10)
PvE Power: ★★★★★★ (6/10)
Tier: B

In Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, the meta favors support synergy and burst DPS.
