Trending
The characters in Black Beacon are divided into two rarities: 5-star (highest) and 4-star (lowest). Each unit uses one of the five elements: Light, Water, Fire, Thunder, and Dark. Every element applies a unique effect on enemies after the anomaly meter becomes full. Here are the details:
- Light: Applies Light anomalies to the enemies. When the anomaly reaches the maximum, the enemy takes additional damage and enters a Glare state. When the Glare state ends, the enemy takes massive Light-element damage.
- Water: Applies Water anomalies to the enemies. When the anomaly reaches the maximum, the enemy receives additional damage and enters a Stasis state. The Statis state freezes the enemy briefly.
- Fire: Applies Fire anomalies to the enemies. When the anomaly reaches the maximum, the enemy takes additional damage and enters a Burn state. The enemy takes fixed damage over time in the Burn state.
- Thunder: Applies Thunder anomalies to the enemies. When the anomaly reaches the maximum, the enemy takes additional damage and enters a Thunderclap state. The enemy in the Thunderclap state suffers extra thunder strikes whenever hit.
- Dark: Applies Dark anomalies to the enemies. When the anomaly reaches the maximum, the enemy receives additional damage and enters a Dark Corrosion state. At the end of the Dark Corrosion state, the enemy takes damage based on the total damage received in the Dark Corrosion state.
Each character in this title also belongs to one of three classes: Destruction, Breaker, and Assist. Destruction characters are DPS units with high damage output. Breaker characters are sub-DPS units who can support DPS characters to deal high damage. Assist-class characters help with the team’s survivability.
