Hoshino: A Comprehensive Guide to Blue Archive's Durable Tank

Hoshino is a stalwart frontline tank in Blue Archive, proving invaluable in PvE battles. Her exceptional damage absorption, enemy taunting capabilities, and self-generated shields make her a cornerstone of effective team compositions. She's the perfect bulwark, safeguarding damage dealers while absorbing enemy attacks. As a Striker unit dealing Explosive damage, she excels against Heavy Armor enemies, making her a top choice for Total Assault and campaign missions. However, her limited mobility and defensive focus hinder her PvP performance.

This guide delves into Hoshino's strengths, optimal gear, synergistic units, and more, providing players with the knowledge to maximize her potential.

Understanding Hoshino

A third-year student from Abydos High School and a member of the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force, Hoshino's laid-back demeanor belies her unwavering dedication to protecting her allies. Her shotgun expertise makes her a force to be reckoned with in close-quarters combat.

Hoshino is a highly recommended unit for new players, ranking among the best tanks in the early and mid-game. New players should also consult the Blue Archive Beginner's Guide for additional team-building and progression strategies.
