Black Beacon Best Support Characters: Current Meta

Black Beacon Artwork 11

In October 2025, Black Beacon’s support meta revolves around versatile buffers and healers that boost DPS, shield the squad, and deliver clutch debuffs. Building around these S-tier supports is the key to both F2P and whale domination.

Top Support Characters & Rankings

1. Zero (4★, Light) – S+ Tier

  • Role: Universal buffer, crit amplifier, shield provider.
  • Strengths: Buffs ATK by up to 50% for 20 seconds, shields, team crit upgrades, accessible for all (free starter). Boosts F2P and whale DPS alike. Easy to max out via daily logins/events.
  • Meta Use: Essential for every team; best for DPS and burst builds.

2. Asti (4★, Water) – S Tier

  • Role: Healer, buffer, debuff specialist.
  • Strengths: Reliable heal (~20% party HP), buffs ATK and debuffs enemy resistances, huge longevity for F2P teams, often given as event reward.

3. Ninsar (4★, Dark) – S Tier

  • Role: Shield/support/DPS hybrid.
  • Strengths: Early-game protector with shields; in late-game, becomes a backup DPS with powerful off-field ultimates.
