Master Blue Archive's cover system and terrain proficiencies to gain tactical advantages in combat. Learn how cover affects defense and how terrain impacts student performance.
The cover system in Blue Archive is a crucial defensive mechanic that can significantly impact the outcome of battles. Understanding how to utilize cover effectively, along with terrain proficiencies, can give you a substantial edge.
Cover System:
- Full Cover: Provides the highest level of protection, significantly reducing incoming damage. Students behind full cover are harder to hit and take less damage.
- Half Cover: Offers moderate protection, reducing incoming damage but to a lesser extent than full cover.
- No Cover: Students in the open have no defensive bonus from cover and are more vulnerable to enemy attacks.
Terrain Proficiency:
- Different students have varying proficiencies with different terrain types (e.g., Street, Indoor, Outdoor, Water).
- A student's proficiency with a specific terrain type directly affects their combat performance in that environment. Higher proficiency leads to increased stats like Attack Power, Defense, and Critical Rate.
- Always check the terrain type of a mission and deploy students with high proficiency for that terrain to maximize your team's effectiveness.
Tips for Utilizing Cover and Terrain
- Prioritize placing your key damage dealers and vulnerable students behind full cover whenever possible.
- Use the environment to your advantage by maneuvering students into positions with good cover.
- When selecting your team for a mission, consider the terrain and choose students whose proficiencies align with it.
- Pay attention to enemy positioning and try to engage them from cover or from a terrain type where your students excel.
