Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Class Tier List
Tier list for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance that rates every class performance in Chaotic Realm and Dragon Raid.
Last updated: 07/10/2025
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Tier List
At the time of release, when viewing Chaotic Realm, most Specs are roughly on par when it comes to average performance, with a few DPS and Sustain outliers. With that said, that does not mean the specs are all identical. Check out our individual spec rankings to understand the strengths and weaknesses for each. Alternatively, check out our What Class to Play guide for a comparative breakdown between each at the time of release:
Specs & Classes
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance features eight classes at release, each with two specializations. Each spec plays drastically differently from each other, even within the same class. For this reason, this Tier List rates character Specs instead of Classes, as what each spec provides or is good at is not always the same.
Game Modes
At the time of release, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance features only one challenging PVE game mode - Chaotic Realm, the game's version of 5-man group content. However, a few weeks after release, an additional endgame mode, Dragon Raids (20-man raids), will become available. What is effective and valued in Dragon Raids is not the same as in the Chaotic Realm. Here are the differences:
- Chaotic Realm highly values:
- Controlling and gathering effects.
- A balance of strong AoE and Single-Target damage.
- Dragon Raids highly values:
- Pure single-target damage output.
- Team and Raid-wide utility effects.
For this reason two two-tier lists are available, as a class that’s valued in one type of content isn’t guaranteed to be in the other. Note: The Dragon Raids tier list will become available when the mode will be released on Global server.
Balance Changes, New Content, P2W, Gear levels & Scaling
As an MMO, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance frequently receives balance updates and new content that empower or diminish some specs. Also, unlike other MMOs, the range of gear and power available to players is not always equal when considering systems like high advancement Imagines. Finally, not all Specs scale the same - some gain far more from high stats than others. Because of these factors, the tier list can and will change after new content, and where characters are placed may not exactly match the gear or spending level you fall within.
Categories
Each Tier List is divided into three categories based on each of the three roles: Sustain, DPS, and Tank.
- Sustain - Specs within the sustain category's primary role is keeping the tank and party alive, either through shielding or more frequently healing.
- DPS - Specs within the DPS category’s primary role is to deal as much AoE and Single-Target damage as possible.
- Tank - Specs within the Tank categories' primary role is to ensure all enemy attention is on them while surviving effectively.
Criteria
- Character Level 60.
- All Talent points unlocked.
- All gear Embedded with correct stats.
- All gear Gold Ilvl 60.
- All Gear 100% Perfection.
- One Advancement 5 Purple Imagine.
- One Advancement 0 Gold Imagine.
- All Gear Refinement Lv8+
- 50% of gear has optimal Purple Stats.
- Character rotations are executed well, but within an average expected skill level.
Specs are compared within their own role, with each category possessing different traits that contribute to them being or not being high tier.
DPS
- Chaotic Realm: Rating influenced by ability to deal strong AoE and Single-Target damage, as well as group utility such as party buffs, gathering, and controlling abilities.
- Dragon Raids: Rating influenced by specs' maximum single target potential and Raid/Party-wide offensive utility and buffs.
Tank
- Chaotic Realm: Rating influenced by ability to survive, gather, and control large amounts of enemies at once while still possessing competence in boss encounters.
- Dragon Raids: Rating influenced by specs' ability to survive large hits, mitigate damage, and provide Group/Raid-wide defensive utility.
Sustain
- Chaotic Realm: Rating influenced by ability to single-handedly keep multiple players alive at once while outputting damage themselves or providing team-wide offensive/defensive utility.
- Dragon Raids: Rating influenced by specs' ability to keep large groups of players alive, increase maximum survivability via shielding or mitigation, and tools to increase raid-wide damage output.
Universal criteria affecting ratings
- Difficulty vs Performance: Some specs perform far better at a lower average skill level, increasing their average performance across most players, raising their tier list placement as a result.
- APM: Blue Protocol: Star Resonance has no global cooldown, and all abilities must be manually input. This means, when not considering auto-play, Ping becomes a major player for performance. Some specs suffer more than others from this, reducing their performance for players with higher-than-average ping.
