Black Beacon Tier List 2025 – Best Characters & Teams
S Tier:
Zero dominates as a close-range attacker with high burst damage, perfect for quickly knocking out enemies, especially when paired with someone who controls positioning like Erishan.
Viola brings thunder-based support and debuffing while still dealing solid damage, making her a perfect match for high-DPS teams.
Nana is a tanky powerhouse who can soak up tons of damage and strike back with dark AoE, ideal for frontline control in tougher fights.
Erishan, with her mobility and displacement skills, is a master of controlling the battlefield and chaining damage combos, especially when teamed with burst characters like Zero or Logos.
A Tier:
Ching offers balanced water-based damage and support, great in long fights and water synergy teams.
Ming supports with fire damage and utility, shining best in prolonged battles where sustained buffs matter more than burst.
Logos is a light-element specialist excelling in single-target damage, especially strong against dark enemies.
Lii deals thunder damage with stun potential, working well in thunder teams but lacking a bit in durability.
Florence blends fire damage with AoE support, making her great in fire-focused comps, though she trades burst power for versatility.
AI provides water-based damage and slows, functioning well with Ching but best kept in the backline due to lower stats.
B Tier:
Shamash offers basic light damage and control with a chain weapon but lacks the impact of higher-tier picks.
Ninsar is a defensive dark-element tank with buffs, useful in survivability setups but not reliable as a main fighter.
Hephi (or Hefe) provides early-game fire damage but gets outclassed later by stronger fire units like Florence.
Enki brings niche water-based utility with inventions that can help in specific stages but isn’t very effective in general combat.
C Tier:
Wooie is a dark-element damage dealer with a survivalist theme, but weak stats and a basic kit limit his usefulness.
Shin deals thunder damage and has long-term growth potential but falls short when compared to thunder characters like Viola.
