2. Boost Serina to 2★. It’s cheap and improves her free heals & EX.
[[File:EvasionTanks.jpeg|thumb|Good tank examples for the early game (except Natsu)]]
3. Use tanks with high evasion like Tsubaki and Yuuka. They use SMG weapons (exception: Natsu uses her EX to sustain). Tanks who rely on defense (non-SMG) need their Tier 4 bag in chapter 10 to tank properly. ▼
** After T4: Tsubaki is even stronger, Yuuka struggles a bit compared to others (still perfectly capable). She gets super strong with T1 [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Bond_gear bond gear] at bond 20. ▼
** S. Hoshino is a tanky support, not a true tank. Wait until she can solo the frontlines (usually with a T4 bag). ▼

▲3. Use tanks with high evasion like Tsubaki and Yuuka. They use SMG weapons (exception: Natsu uses her EX to sustain).
6. Since resources are scarce (especially level 70+), only invest in who you need to clear content. You can expand your roster later when you’re richer. ▼
<br>
7. Ignore A stages for now (e.g. 3-A). They’re harder (added recently) and you don’t need to clear them to chase cafe upgrades. ▼
<br>
Other tips:
* Tanks who rely on defense (non-SMG) need their Tier 4 bag tank properly.

* If brawlers are too annoying to keep alive, use Hanae, an aoe healer, or skip them. E.g. Izuna, S. Izuna, Michiru, Sumire, Tsurugi.
* Purchase one T4 blueprint set from the expert permit shop to make a T4 bag for your main tank. It’s a big survivability boost.

Generally:
* Farm the highest tier and go down (gear can drop itself & parts used to make it. [https://schale.gg/?stage=1201101 Example]). Left-most blueprint has a higher rate.
* Rates for certain gear were buffed (lower tiers). Max level players can buy the unbuffed tiers, and farm the buffed ones.
* T4 bags is a huge survivability boost for tanks; newer players can grab them via expert permit shop.
* Use [https://justin163.com/planner/ Justin’s planner] to see the most optimal sweeps for gear farming.

====Skills====
See the [https://j163.au/#SkillLevelingGuide Bricc Skill
Who to skill up:
* Generally save for raids. Mats are sparse,
* Can boost healers, but EX3 at most early on (if you even need that).
* Tanks don’t have much stats to scale with until end-game. Many don’t even need skill levels; gear and student levels can be enough.

[[File:BorrowPower.jpeg|thumb|Example of how easily a good borrow can carry you through hardcore raids]]▼
*
* For example: 2 team Kaiten had an aoe team for phase 1, and a single target & shield breaking team for phase 2. ''If you’re strong enough'', you can brute force it and crit mald with one team.
* Wanpans are not even the fastest option sometimes. Depends on the boss, terrain, and available units. ▼

** It only affects those who are barely clearing ShiroKuro insane and above. If you’re already far into bodythrowing, missing an extra 600k can be quite significant.
** This is actually more of a trade off; you take less attacks from the boss. If you put dps students in the Airi team, they will live longer, which means they deal more damage.
