What actually matters in raids
- Attack type vs armor. Explosive, Piercing, Mystic, and Sonic each line up against Light, Heavy, Special, or Elastic on the live boss tab. Wrong type is a worse mistake than missing a 3★.
- Striker vs Special. Four Striker tiles plus Special slots. A healer in the wrong squad type does not occupy the slot you think she does.
- Terrain. Indoor / outdoor / urban bonuses are on the student and on the raid. Confirm both in-game — we will not invent a terrain chart here.
- Alts are different students. Swimsuit and Limited versions have their own kits and banners. Do not rank “Hoshino” as one row.
What to open instead
- Raid matcher — this week’s armor, students whose attack type actually hits it. Indoor / outdoor is a reminder, not a fake terrain chart.
- Beginner priorities — tank / attacker / healer, then AP off cap.
- AP farming — story and commissions vs raid tickets.
- Recruitment rates — Global spark 200 until Charge on November 10, 2026.
If you still want a ranking
Use a dated raid clear page for the boss that is live this week, filtered by armor. Treat any undated “Blue Archive tier list 2026” as marketing. Our recruit tracker counts points / Charge — it is not a grade of the student.
