Black Beacon Best Starter: Current Meta

Black Beacon Artwork 4

Starting strong in Black Beacon can make or break your early progression. With the current meta (October 2025), rerolling for top-tier characters is the best way to secure long-term success, especially if you’re aiming for endgame, PvP, or efficient farming. Here’s the guide for picking the best starter on Ultimategacha.com.

The top three characters EVERY new player should target are:

1. Li Chi (5★ – Hydro/Thunder DPS)

  • Why Li Chi? Top-tier DPS for single-target and AoE, scales well from story to late game. High energy regen and DEF-piercing skill make him a boss destroyer.
  • Meta Role: Carry, story progression, boss raids.
  • Best For: Players who want quick clears and high burst damage.​

2. Zero (5★ – Light Support)

  • Why Zero? Incredible buffer and shield provider, flexible enough to fit every team comp. Zero boosts ATK and energy, letting any DPS, especially F2P teams, shine.
  • Meta Role: Universal support/buffer.
  • Best For: Anyone, especially F2P or those not pulling strong DPS early.​

3. Florence (5★ – Fire AoE DPS)

  • Why Florence? Best-in-class at mob clearing and area control, her multi-target “spin” ultimate trivializes event stages and waves.
  • Meta Role: Fast map clearing, event grinding.
  • Best For: Speedrunning content, daily farming, guild events.​
