Bleach Soul Resonance tier list (Global Launch)

Bleach Soul Resonance is now available globally, and the launch version introduces some of the iconic names we witnessed in the anime.

Like plenty of other gachas, you’ll have to rely on your luck to obtain a character. However, you’ll also have to pay attention to team composition to clear the in-game content without many problems. Not all characters are built the same, and this guide will help you understand which names are on top of the meta and which aren’t good enough.

Complete Bleach Soul Resonance characters tier list

Characters in Bleach Soul Resonance can be separated into two rarities: SSR and SR. Theoretically, the SSR characters might always feel like the better choice, but that’s not the case. You’ll have to pay attention to the team composition, which mainly comprises a tank, a DPS, and a support character.

To construct the tier list, I have used four categories.

• S-tier characters are pretty much the best possible choices in the current meta. These are the names you should consider during team-building and rerolls.
• A-tier characters are pretty close to S-tier in terms of their in-game effectiveness, but they have minor weaknesses.
• B-tier characters are, at best, okayish choices.
• C-tier characters are average characters that should be replaced as quickly as possible.

Here’s a brief overview of how I have used to rank all the characters before deep diving into the details.

S-tier

• Ichigo Kurasaki-Bankai: The first limited character shows his value in every moment, and he’s definitely worth rerolling for. His combos are fast, and you can even teleport across different enemies. His base damage is among the best in the current version, and his Ultimate enables the Hollowfication Mode. The Hollowfication Mode boosts his attacks, counters, and encourages new skills. Ichigo Kurasaki-Bankai is the best character in Bleach Soul Resonance at the time of the global launch.
• Kaname Tosen: Kaname might not be as strong as Ichigo, but he is an excellent DPS unit in his own right. His Co-strike ability allows him to jump in and damage enemies when teamed up with other Thrust Damage characters. His abilities have a stack function that builds up over time and buffs damage taken by enemies.
• Kisuke Urahara: A good support unit is crucial, and it doesn’t get better than Kisuke. His ultimate grants a 50% Crit Damage bonus, which is one of the best buffs in the entire game. He works well in any team composition and stacks Reishi Analysis. Reishi Analysis further buffs the team’s attack and can stack up to three times. Just pair him with a good DPS unit and you’re all set.

A-tier

• Ikkaku Madarame: Ikkaku has one of the best AoE-based attacks among all characters, and also applies Wound with his attacks. He also offers Thrust Damage with Kaname, and his Bankai form raises his attack, range, and unlocks an incredible finisher as a bonus.
• Byakuya Kuchiki: I really like how you can use Byakuya as a secondary damage dealer on the field while controlling another character. His Battlefield Skill has immense damage potential on its own.
• Sajin Konamura: While having a tank isn’t necessary, Sajin can create a shield for himself and his allies. If you can land a combo or Technique on enemies, you can infinitely use Sajin’s Battlefield Skill. The base damage, however, is on the lower side of things.
• Uryu Ishida: If you don’t have a good SSR damage dealer, Uryu is an excellent alternative. He is easy to obtain from the gacha and does decent damage from all his attacks. He also offers AoE attacks, allowing you to erase waves easily.
• Rukia: An excellent support who does a bit of everything. Her attacks have crowd control (thanks to her freezes), and she gels well with any team composition.

B-tier

• Yachiru Kusajishi: Good support character with decent damage, but there are better alternatives in her role. However, she’s the best character to pair with Ichigo Kurosaki-Bankai, so keep that in mind if you get lucky with the limited banner.
• Orihime Inoue: A free character who offers shields, heals, and allows you to stay alive for longer. If you’re desperate for a healer, she’s a good shot.
• Ichigo Kurasaki-Shikai: Better version than the starter option, but works well if you focus on Spiritual Pressure.
• Renji Abarai: Does decent burst damage and has good AoE effects. However, he doesn’t shine in any specific area when it comes to DPS units, and there are better options as far as the meta is concerned.

C-tier

There’s not much to say about these characters. You can use them if you’re a fan, but it’s best to avoid investing resources.

• Ichigo Kurosaki-Initial
• Yasutora Sado
• Ururu Tsumugiya
• Nemu Kurotsuchi
