Black Beacon Best Character: Current Meta

Black Beacon Artwork 2

Choosing the best Black Beacon character for the current meta is critical for dominating both PvE and PvP. With Version 1.2.100 now live, a handful of 5-star and S-tier heroes stand far above their peers, especially Florence, Zero, Li Chi, and Qing. Here’s a full breakdown for Ultimategacha.com.

Meta Leaders: Who’s Best Right Now?

The meta in October 2025 highlights four clear standouts:

Florence – 5-star Fire, S/SS-tier

  • Role: AoE DPS
  • Strengths: Dominates wave-based maps, unmatched mob-clearing, massive ultimate “spin and slam” combos.
  • Drawbacks: Needs good support to survive longer fights; AoE focus makes her less ideal vs. single bosses.

Zero – 5-star versatile Support, SS/S-tier

  • Role: Team buffer, flexible DPS
  • Strengths: Easiest to use for beginners, massive crit rate and attack buffs, fits all team compositions.
  • Drawbacks: Lacks raw single-target burst, but her buffs empower every meta comp.

Li Chi – 5-star Thunder, S-tier

  • Role: Berserker, single-target and AoE DPS
  • Strengths: High burst damage, Battle Will boosts, restores HP with every hit.
  • Drawbacks: Sacrifices HP to attack; harder to master, not recommended for new players.

Qing – 5-star Water DPS (latest addition, May 2025)

  • Role: High-skill ceiling DPS
  • Strengths: Top meta choice if you missed Florence, great for advanced players; longer skill rotations for higher ceiling.
  • Drawbacks: Requires precision targeting and skill, less forgiving for casual play.

Tips for Picking Your Best Character

  • Florence dominates for raw AoE and fast map clears. Choose her for guild raids and events.
  • Zero is the best universal support, never bench her unless you have niche comps.
  • Li Chi offers risky but rewarding DPS for skilled players.
  • Qing is rising in meta for long-term DPS.
