This Bleach Soul Resonance Tier List breaks down every launch character in Bleach Soul Resonance based on their performance, consistency, team value, and long-term potential. The game features three types of units—Full Assault (DPS), Support, and Tactic—each bringing its own identity to team building. What follows is a clear, practical ranking to help players understand who truly stands out and who is better left on the bench.
Bleach Soul Resonance Tier List – Best SR and SSR Characters
SS-Tier
These characters define the current meta with unmatched power, team synergy, and long-term value. If you have them, you build around them.
Bankai Ichigo (SSR / Slash / Full Assault)
Bankai Ichigo launches as the strongest raw damage dealer in the game. His kit revolves around rapid skill usage, a devastating Visored transformation, and a follow-up strike system that lets him stack enormous burst damage in a short window. His passive, which increases critical damage based on critical rate even past 100%, pushes his scaling far beyond other DPS units.
His synergy with Slash supports like Kisuke and Byakuya makes him the core of the best team in the game.
Kisuke Urahara (SSR / Slash / Support)
Kisuke provides some of the most consistent team buffs available. Every attack, skill, or ultimate he performs adds teamwide Ratio Analysis stacks, granting up to a massive 30% attack increase, which can be doubled with his weapon. His kit also includes enemy distraction and a strong critical damage buff, making him the premier universal support—though he fits especially well in Slash teams.
Kaname Tosen (SSR / Thrust / Tactic)
Kaname operates as both a top-tier tactical buffer and a self-sufficient single-target damage dealer. His ability to stack wounds rapidly boosts both his damage and critical rate, allowing him to melt bosses with ease. His passive granting 30% thrust-type damage to the entire team cements him as the centerpiece of thrust-oriented lineups.
S-Tier
These units offer excellent value and fit comfortably into strong team compositions.
Byakuya Kuchiki (SSR / Slash / Tactic)
Byakuya’s battlefield skills and passive Slash damage increase make him mandatory for anyone running a Slash-type team. He excels as an off-field damage engine, enabling combo chains, lowering enemy Slash resistance, and delivering a powerful finishing blast after his battlefield attacks are fully charged. In a mono-Slash roster, he easily brushes against SS-tier performance.
Ikaku Madarame (SSR / Thrust / Full Assault)
Ikaku shines in encounters with multiple enemies thanks to scaling damage per defeated target. His Bankai offers a mix of survivability and an enormous critical damage boost. While less effective in pure single-target fights compared to Kaname, he remains one of the best thrust DPS characters available at launch.
A-Tier
These characters perform well in most content but lack the ceiling or universal synergy of top-tier units.
Sajin Komamura (SSR / Strike / Tactic)
Sajin delivers useful defensive utility, a teamwide barrier, and an 18% critical rate increase for shielded units. His passive that increases strike-type damage by 30% makes him a core piece for strike-oriented teams. His Bankai mode provides survivability and a strong finishing blow, though his value diminishes outside strike teams.
Rukia Kuchiki (SR / Frost / Tactic)
Rukia offers universal 15% damage support and excellent defensive utility through chill state, which reduces incoming damage and provides team healing. Her freeze-capable battlefield skill is especially effective in tough content. She is flexible, easy to use, and fits well into many early- and mid-game teams.
Orihime Inoue (SR / Spirit / Support)
Orihime supplies shields, healing, and a valuable damage boost when swapped out, making her a dependable support unit. Her strength will grow as more Spirit-type characters enter the roster. She is currently the safest option for players needing stability during progression.
Uryu Ishida – SR Tactic Version (SR / Frost / Tactic)
This Uryu variant gives an immediate 15% teamwide damage increase through battlefield skills and performs consistent backline crit buffs as he participates in combo attacks. His battlefield skill damage scales well and he fits in any team lacking stronger tactical units.
Yoruichi Shihōin (SSR / Strike / Full Assault)
Yoruichi stands as the top strike-type DPS at launch with a kit focused on rapid dodging, follow-up attacks, and a transformation state that ramps her offensive power. Her main limitation is the weakness of the strike-support roster, but once those supports improve, she will rise significantly.
B-Tier
These characters perform adequately but lack strong synergy, high scaling, or a modern team to support them.
Shikai Ichigo (SR / Slash / Full Assault)
A solid improvement over the initial Ichigo, offering better skills and a temporary power-release state granting improved range and damage. His damage variance due to RNG limits his consistency, keeping him from higher tiers.
Orihime Arisawa (SR / Spirit / Full Assault)
This Uru variant is a burn-focused unit who gains access to a bazooka stance when her spiritual pressure reserves fill. She can chain burns consistently and offers flexible damage, but lacks strong Spirit partners at launch.
Nemu Kurotsuchi (SR / Strike / Support)
Nemu’s dual stances offer small attack boosts and reduced damage taken, but her buffs are minor compared to other supports. Her strike-damage bonuses help Yoruichi and Sajin, though she struggles to compete with higher-value units.
C-Tier
These characters lag behind in stats, synergy, or damage scaling, making them niche options.
Initial Ichigo (SR / Slash / Full Assault)
A starter unit designed to carry players through the earliest chapters. His low stats and simple kit make him quickly outclassed as soon as better Slash units appear.
Chad (SR / Strike / Full Assault)
Chad has an interesting high-risk, high-reward design, relying on low HP to gain significant crit bonuses. His self-damaging special attack and healing ultimate create awkward pacing, making him inconsistent and difficult to optimize.
Renji Abarai (SR / Thrust / Full Assault)
Renji attempts to build spiritual pressure to unleash laceration damage, but the scaling on his bleed is far too weak for an SR DPS. He is overshadowed by Ikaku and Kaname in every scenario.
Bleach: Soul Resonance features a launch roster with clear standouts and a strong emphasis on team synergy. Slash-type teams dominate early thanks to characters like Bankai Ichigo, Kisuke, and Byakuya forming the most cohesive damage core. Thrust teams gain immense value from Kaname and Ikaku, while strike teams currently depend heavily on future updates to reach full potential.
