This article is a translation of the following Japanese article:
: “Hey, you guys. Have we all gathered together again? Today, I’m going to talk about the latest January 2026 version of the strongest character tier rankings in Buraaka.If you’re aiming for the platinum trophy in an all-out war or a big battle, you’ll definitely need the so-called human rights characters.If you don’t have them, you’ll have to give up on the top rankings.I’ll give you a thorough explanation of these students.”
: “Kita! I’ve been waiting! There are a lot of characters who cried when they didn’t appear even when I played Gacha to the ceiling! But I don’t know who to prioritize. I feel like there’s always one truth! I want a clear answer!”
: “Talk to your wallet. However, the fact is that as of 2026, the 5th anniversary of Blue Aca, the environment is completely dominated by anniversary and swimsuit-only characters. Regardless of whether or not you have to pay, know which characters are really strong. This is important. This time, we thoroughly investigated the latest data from major strategy sites such as God Game Strategy, Game8, Gamerch, AppMedia, and compiled the strongest characters as of January 2026.”
1. The absolute pinnacle! SS+ rank human rights characters
: “First, I will explain the SS+ rank, which is the top tier of the strongest characters in Bruaka.Characters of this rank are at a level where you can’t talk about anything without them.If you’re aiming for the platinum trophy in an all-out battle, I think this is essential.”
: “Platinum trophy…I was satisfied with the gold, but I still have to aim for the top! Wow, I have to get motivated and say, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
: “Your spirit alone won’t do it. First, find the strongest core characters. As of January 2026, the following characters reign at the top of the environment.”
Absolute champion of SS+ rank
- Dress Hina (Explosive Attacker) – Boasts exceptional firepower with an EX skill multiplier of over 2500%. A monster that can crush high HP bosses in one blow with HP proportional damage. Against lightly armored bosses, there are no enemies anywhere, and the adoption rate in all-out battles is top class. Highly durable and can be used for long-term battles
- Swimsuit Hanako (Mysterious Attacker) – The strongest ranged attacker of all attributes. It has high magnification area attacks and even self-buffs, and reigns as the king of great damage in total war. It is thanks to this character that the layer of mysterious attributes is the thickest
- Kisaki (Special Supporter) – With its cost reduction in half and high multiplier buffer, it is an essential part of the lineup in an all-out war. Its greatest strength is its versatility, allowing it to be incorporated into any composition. This character is the foundation of the entire organization
- Uniform Nell (Mysterious Attacker) – A mysterious attacker who will be especially active in the total war from 2025 to 2026. Although she is often compared to Mika, Nell appears more frequently in the latest environment. His success in outdoor battles is remarkable
: “Dress Hina, in particular, is assembled at a required level every time a light armored all-out battle comes. Those who don’t have it can only pray for its reprint. Indeed, all we can do is pray!”
: “Dressed Hina….That girl is super cute, yet strong, isn’t she cunning!?But I couldn’t back down….I’m so frustrated!”
: “Don’t cry. Save up the stones to the ceiling for the next reprint. We’ll move on.”
2. SS rank: Anniversary limited edition that supports the environment
: “Next is the SS rank. There are many anniversary limited characters ranked here. Strong characters that completely change the environment of Blue Aca are implemented at the anniversary and half-anniversary. At Blue Aca Festival Day 2 on January 18, 2026, a large number of new limited characters were announced, causing an uproar in the area.”
: “Anniversary! Limited to festivals! It’s my favorite word! But it’s impossible to draw all of them… There aren’t enough stones… This is the kind of despair that makes you feel like people are no longer equal.”
: “Of course. That’s why you need to know your priorities. SS rank characters are as follows.”
SS rank powerhouses
- Mika (Mystical Attacker) – Has a powerful EX skill that deals extremely high damage to a single enemy. It is expected to be useful in battles against indoor heavily armored bosses and Chesedo. Uniform flannel is the perfect companion
- Swimsuit Mika (Explosive Attacker) – An attacker specializing in single-target attacks. If Swimsuit Hanako is in charge of range, this is the pinnacle of single firepower. Both are highly rated because their roles are different
- Swimsuit Hoshino (Explosive Supporter) – The strongest supporter who can play an active role in any content. A buffer that can greatly increase the attack power of explosive attributes, and is excellently compatible with dress chicks
- Alice in Battle (Mysterious Attacker/New Character) – A new character limited to the 5th anniversary festival. Revolutionary performance that fills the void of a mysterious single attacker. Expected to play an active role as a heavily armored boss, and received a provisional T0 rating in Game 8
- Rio (Special Supporter) – Indispensable for all-out war as a high magnification buffer. A character who is the core of the organization along with Kisaki
: “Alice is the featured character of the 5th anniversary.She arrived as a savior in an environment where there was a lack of single attackers with mystical attributes.Although it has just been implemented, the reviews are already skyrocketing.”
: “It sounds so cool to be in battle! Isn’t it great to be in full armor! This is so mechanized that it feels like Fullmetal Alchemist!”
: “You’re fine with anything as long as it’s robots and mechs. However, the battle series is linked to the Dekagrammaton arc, and the story is a hot development. There are many characters who are attractive not only in terms of performance but also in terms of setting.”
3. The importance of cost supporters! Swimsuit Shiroko and Shun
: “Now, let’s talk about something important. In the all-out war of Buraka, the presence of Cost Supporters is absolutely indispensable. In particular, Swimsuit Shiroko and Shun are attackers in the game, but their actual role is as Cost Supporters.”
: “Cost supporter? What’s so great about that? I like using attackers to generate firepower.”
: “That’s why it’s a single cell. Cost Supporter is a character that reduces the cost required to use skills and essentially increases the skill turnover rate. If you use Swimsuit Shiroko and Shun at the same time, you will actually get an advantage worth 9 costs.I will explain how dangerous this is so that even a lowly person like you can understand.”
Effect of cost supporter
- Swimsuit Shiroko – Excellent initial cost support and greatly improves the skill turnover rate of the entire formation. The strongest cost supporter that is highly versatile and can be used regardless of attributes or situations
- Shun – By combining with Swimsuit Shiroko, you can use high-cost skills repeatedly from the beginning. Essential if you aim for the top in total war or tactical battles
- New Year Fuuka – A character who can halve the cost of allies. Often used as a support role for high-cost attackers
- Ui – Same as New Year Fuuka, cost is halved. The unsung hero who supports high-cost attackers
: “In Bruaka, which deals damage with skills, characters that can support costs are strong across the board.Even if you have an attacker with high firepower, if you don’t have cost supporters, you’re a waste of treasure.It’s just that you can’t win with strength alone!”
: “I see! In other words, even if you have a strong attacker like Dress Hina, you won’t be able to show your true potential without someone like Swimsuit Shiroko! This is like the principle of equivalent exchange!”
: “…I feel like that analogy is a little different, but it’s fine if you understand.”
4. Importance of attribute-specific buffers
: “The next important thing is the Attribute Special Attack Buffer.Kisaki and Rio are general-purpose buffers, but buffers that specialize in specific attributes are also very powerful.”
: “When attribute special attack buffs are combined with attack power and critical damage buffs, the effect of the buffs is amplified through a synergistic effect. In other words, it makes a large contribution to increasing firepower. The main attribute buffers are as follows.”
Attribute gender バッファー一覧
- Swimsuit Hoshino – Greatly increases the attack power of explosive attributes. Great compatibility with dress Hina and swimsuit Mika
- Swimsuit Wii – Penetration attribute buffer. Required when using a piercing attacker
- New Year’s Kayoko – Mysterious attribute buffer. Shows its true value in combination with swimsuit Hanako and Mika
- Kei (new character) – Costs 2 and has 3 types of buffs: attack, critical, and mystery buff. A new era buffer that shows its true value in 2 or more formations. Tentative S+ rating with Game8 and GameWith
: “Kei is especially noteworthy among the new characters introduced for the 5th anniversary. Having 3 types of buffs at a light cost of 2 is a violation.It really feels like this power is infinite!”
: “Kei-chan is too strong! I have to back out of this! But I also want Alice in battle, and I’m worried about Rio in battle… I don’t have enough stones… It’s all about selection and concentration!”
: “That’s right. It’s impossible to draw them all, so consult with what you have and decide your priorities. If you don’t have enough mystery attackers, go to Alice, if you want to strengthen your explosive formation, go to Rio, etc.”
5. Tanks and healers: the unsung heroes
: “Now, attackers and supporters tend to be the focus of attention, but Tanks and Healers are also important.Especially in high-difficulty all-out battles, there is no story without them.”
: “Tank! I don’t like tanks because they’re plain. Isn’t it fun to be an attacker and take them down with a bang?”
: “You’re going to die with a bang. There’s no big difference between tanks other than defense compatibility, but the strongest characters are those who can also play roles other than tanks. Also, some characters with special attack-level strength in all-out battles are also highly rated.”
The strongest タンク一覧
- Tsubaki – A typical evasion tank. It is easy to fulfill the role of a tank even if the equipment and skills are not strengthened. As the growth progresses, its durability will become stronger, and with its high HP it will become a fortress that frequently evades enemy attacks
- Yuka – Another evasive tank. An excellent tank that can be used by beginners to advanced users along with Tsubaki
- Hoshino (regular version) – Has high performance as a tank, and in some all-out battles can demonstrate strength comparable to special attacks
The strongest block
- Idol Marie – The strongest healer with overwhelming versatility among all healers. It is particularly powerful because it can recover for 2 costs, reduce costs, and indirectly contribute firepower. If a battle requires a healer, use it first
- Selina – A healer that is easy to obtain even for beginners. An excellent healer with high recovery performance that can be used from the beginning to the end
- Kotama – A supporter with both recovery and buffs. By combining with Selina, the stability of the formation will be greatly improved
: “Tanks and healers may not be flashy, but they are the key to your organization. Especially when challenging Torment (the highest difficulty level), you won’t even be able to clear the game without these characters.They are just plain but important!”
: “Torment….I’m having a hard time even in Hardcore.Maybe I don’t have enough training.”
: “Training is important, but the way the organization is organized is even more important.In the next section, I will explain specific organization examples.”
6. Basics of total war strategy: How to form a formation
: “Now, here’s the practical part. I’ll explain how to set up a formation to get a high score in an all-out battle.The basic idea is one ace attacker and five supports.”
: “The following is the basic structure of the organization for total war.”
Basic composition
- One main attacker – Choose according to the boss’s armor and attack type. Choose from dress Hina, swimsuit Hanako, Mika, uniform flannel, etc.
- 1-2 cost supporters – Swimsuit Shiroko, Shun, New Year Fuuka, etc. Required to increase skill turnover rate
- 1-2 Buffers – Kisaki, Rio, Swimsuit Hoshino, etc. Increase the attacker’s firepower
- 1 tank person – Tsubaki, Yuka, etc. Block enemy attacks in the vanguard
- 0-1 healers – Idol Marie, Selina, etc. Required in high difficulty levels, but may be omitted in formations that emphasize firepower
: “For example, if your opponent is an explosive boss with light armor, you can consider the following formation.”
Organization example: Light armored boss countermeasures
- Dress chick (main attacker)
- Kisaki (buffer)
- Swimsuit Shiroko (cost support)
- Battle Himari (recovery + buff)
- Swimsuit Nagisa (Support)
- Tsubaki (tank)
: “I see! This is how you clearly divide roles! But I don’t have any dress chicks… What should I do?”
: “Use the helper system. You can borrow strong attackers from friends or circle members. Helpers can borrow characters whose character development is better than you, so it is recommended to borrow an attacker who can push you with firepower.”
: “That’s right. The helper system is very convenient, and there is also a trick that allows you to use the same character in two formations. For example, use the helper’s dress chick in the first formation, and use the other helper’s dress chick in the second formation. It really makes a difference whether you know it or not!”
: “What, you have a trick like that! If you don’t use it, you’re missing out!”
7. Training priority: Who should be trained first
: “Now that you know which characters are the strongest, the next thing to do is training priority.Resources are limited, so you need to know who to train first.”
: “The basic order of training priority is as follows.”
Development priority ranking
- Cost Supporter – Swimsuit Shiroko, Shun, New Year Fuuka, etc. Top priority as it is the key to organization
- General Purpose Buffer – Kisaki, Rio, etc. High priority because it can be included in any formation
- Main Attacker – Dress Hina, Swimsuit Hanako, Mika, Uniform Nell, etc. Develop the strongest attacker you have
- Attribute Buffer – Swimsuit Hoshino, Swimsuit Ui, New Year Kayoko, etc. Training according to the attributes of the main attacker
- Tanks and Healers – Tsubaki, Yuuka, Idol Marie, Serina, etc. You will need it on high difficulty levels, so train it to a certain extent
: “Cost supporters and buffers in particular should be given top priority in training as they can be included in any formation. Attackers are powerful, but they cannot show their true value without supporters. It’s true that you can’t do anything by yourself!”
: “But it’s fun to train attackers… I think supporters are pretty plain.”
: “You really don’t learn. If you raise your supporters, the firepower of your attacker will increase dramatically. As a result, you will be able to defeat bosses more exhilaratingly. In other words, your favorite Dokan will become even more Dokan.”
: “I see! I’ll raise supporters!”
8. New environment in 2026: Evaluation of 5th anniversary characters
: “Now, let me explain about the 5th anniversary characters announced at Blue Acafes Day 2 on January 18, 2026.The meta has been completely renewed with new characters linked to the Big Grammaton edition.”
: “The following five characters will be participating in the 5th anniversary battle”
5th Anniversary of the War of Resistance
- Alice in Battle (Mystical Single Attacker) – A savior who arrived in an environment where there was a lack of single Mystical Attackers. He is a heavily armored boss and is expected to perform at a revolutionary level. Tentative T0 rating in Game 8
- Rio (Explosive Attacker) – Has an EX skill for single attack and special attack debuff against lightly equipped enemies. Depending on the sub-skill multiplier, it can also be used as a figurine. Ideal for assisting dress chicks
- Battle Himari (Special Supporter) – Unprecedented performance with attack buff exceeding 100%. A versatile supporter that combines recovery and buffs
- Rainsen Toki (Penetration Attacker) – A powerful attacker with the penetration attribute. Contributes to strengthening penetration formation
- Kei (Penetration Supporter) – Costs 2 and has 3 types of buffs: attack, critical, and mysterious buff. Supporter of the new era that shows its true value with 2 or more formations
: “Alice and Kei, especially in battle, have the potential to completely change the environment. They have arrived as saviors in an environment that lacks single mystical firepower. It truly feels like the beginning of a new era!”
: “I want all the battle series! But I don’t have enough stones… It’s too difficult for me, who doesn’t have to pay… This is a choice of money or life!”
: “That’s an exaggeration. But it’s true that you can’t draw them all, so you need to decide on your priorities. Look at what you have and prioritize the characters with the missing attributes. For example, if you don’t have enough mystery attackers, go for Alice, and if you don’t have enough supporters, go for Kei.”
9. The most cost-effective character for non-paying/micro-paying
: “So far, we have introduced the strongest characters, but they are all limited characters.What should teachers who do not pay or pay a small fee do?Here, we will introduce the characters with the strongest cost performance among the constant characters.”
: “A constant character! Even I might be able to pull this off!”
: “There are many excellent characters even among the regular characters.The following characters are easy to obtain without paying, and can be used in all-out battles.”
The most cost-effective character for non-paying/micro-paying
- Hina (Normal version) – Excellent as an explosive attacker. Although inferior to Dress Hina, it has top-class firepower among regular characters
- Iori – A typical penetrating attacker. Demonstrates high firepower against heavily armored bosses
- Tsubaki – Best evasion tank. Can be used by beginners to advanced users
- Selina – Excellent healer. Easy to obtain and grow
- Kotama – Supporter with both buff and heal. Best among regular characters
- Haruna – Excellent as an explosive attacker. Easy to obtain and can be used from the beginning
: “Tsubaki, Serina, and Kotama in particular can be cleared with these three + a strong attacker (helper) if the difficulty level is Hardcore or below.They really feel like beginner rescue characters!”
: “Oh, really? Then maybe even I can try a higher difficulty level!”
: “If it’s Hardcore or below, you’ll need a limited character. If you’re above Torment, you’ll still need a limited character. However, if you can clear Hardcore, you’ll get enough rewards, so aim for that first.”
10. Tips and techniques for total war strategy
: “Finally, I will introduce strategy tips for getting a high score in an all-out battle.Not only the character’s performance, but also the maneuvering and timing are important.”
: “The tips for all-out warfare strategy are as follows”
Tips for total war strategy
- Timeline optimization with mock battles – Adjust the timing of skill use to maximize buff stacking. Try many times in mock battles to find the best timing
- Spread tickets to Hardcore or above – Up to 3 total war tickets will be distributed per day, but they cannot be carried over to the next day. Get more rewards by challenging Hardcore or higher difficulty
- Use helpers – By borrowing strong attackers, you can make up for your lack of firepower. Utilize tricks that allow you to use the same character in two formations
- Create a character that corresponds to the gimmick – Each boss has a special gimmick, and a character with the corresponding skills is required. For example, CC granting skills, multi-stage attack skills, etc.
- Use the sweep function – Once a day, cleared difficulty levels can be skipped using the sweep function. If you don’t care about the score, clear it manually once a day and clear the remaining two times by sweeping.
: “It is especially important to optimize the timeline in mock battles. By stacking buffs to the maximum, your firepower will increase dramatically. It’s just the timing of a split second that makes the difference between victory and defeat!”
: “Timeline optimization….It seems difficult. I’m not good at such details.”
: “You really don’t have the patience. But the more you do timeline optimization, the better you’ll get. It’s a pain at first, but once you get used to it, it’s easy. Don’t give up.”
: “That’s right. If you give up, the game is over, right?”
Summary: The strongest environment of Buraka in 2026
: “Well, did you enjoy Buruaka’s strongest character tier ranking?As of January 2026, Buruaka has celebrated its 5th anniversary, and the meta has been completely renewed with the implementation of battle-ready characters.Mysterious attributes and piercing attributes have been strengthened, creating an environment that can cover all attributes in a well-balanced manner.”
: “It was awesome! Now I might be able to get the platinum trophy in an all-out battle! I’ll save up the stones and draw Alice for the battle!”
: “It’s good to save up stones, but be intentional. Gacha is a swamp, so keep your eyes on the ceiling as you spin. If you spin haphazardly, you’ll die and cry.”
: “That’s it. I’ll summarize the important points at the end.”
Important points for ranking the strongest characters
- SS+ rank is Dress Hina, Swimsuit Hanako, Kisaki, and Uniform Nell. These are required class
- Cost supporter swimsuits Shiroko and Shun are essential if you aim for the top in an all-out battle
- Among the 5th anniversary characters, Alice and Kei are especially noteworthy
- With no charge or small charge, an effective strategy is to develop regular characters such as Tsubaki, Serina, and Kotama and borrow strong attackers as helpers
- For total war strategy, it is important to not only organize but also timeline optimization and gimmick support
- Spend tickets on Hardcore or higher and use the sweep function to collect rewards efficiently
: “Buruaka is a game where not only the strength of the characters, but also the way they are assembled and how they fight.Even if you have the strongest character, there is no point if you can’t use it properly.It’s just like how a sword depends on the user!”
: “The sword is up to the user! It’s cool! I’ll do my best to master it too! Now, sensei, let’s protect the peace of Kivotos!”
: “You’re so serious at the end. That’s okay. The information is constantly updated, so be sure to check the latest information before holding an all-out war. We recommend checking out strategy sites such as Game 8 and God Game Strategy.”
: “That’s it. The environment of Buraka will continue to evolve in 2026. Tier rankings may change due to the implementation of new characters and balance adjustments to existing characters. Always check the latest information and continue to build the strongest formation. Well then, Otsu!”
: “This is Otsu! Let’s enjoy Burakaa together!”
: “…It was a lighthearted mood until the end. Disbanded!”
