Blue Archive Hoshino Character Guide – Best Builds & Team Compositions

Author : Dylan Mar 21,2025

Hoshino, a durable frontline tank in Blue Archive, shines in PvE battles. Her exceptional damage absorption, enemy taunting, and self-generated shields make her a cornerstone for teams needing a robust defender. She allows damage dealers to operate safely while she bears the brunt of enemy attacks. As a Striker unit dealing Explosive damage, she's particularly effective against Heavy Armor enemies, proving invaluable in PvE content like Total Assault and campaign missions. However, her limited mobility and focus on defense over offense hinder her PvP performance.
