These five editorial role grades are not a complete ranking or measured boss-clear results.
Block Tales Card Tier List
Compare Block Tales cards by role, BP cost, SP pressure, survival value, damage setup, and Demo 5 boss-prep usefulness.
Damage, survival, BP, SP, and timing
Compare cards by boss safety, SP pressure, role balance, unlock effort, replacement risk, and Demo 5 scaling.
Try unclear cards before copying them
Wiki tables and videos help, but a card still needs to fit your boss, SP budget, and party plan.
Rankings
Five cards by role
Grades express our assessment of each card’s stated role. Costs and effects link to the shared card reference; no fresh playtest is claimed.
A
Cure
Recovery support
recoveryparty support
At one copy, 1 BP equips a 3 SP healing action. The attack penalty makes it a support choice rather than a free upgrade to every damage build.
Team combo: Choose a healing turn when it is worth delaying damage.
BP, SP and acquisition sourceNotes: Editorial role grade; compare the attack tradeoff.
A
Bodyguard
Ally protection
party support
An ally-focused protection option at 1 BP and 2 SP for one copy. It redirects part of an ally’s incoming damage to you.
Team combo: The protecting player needs enough HP to take redirected damage.
BP, SP and acquisition sourceNotes: Requires an ally; not solo self-protection.
B
Charge
Attack setup
planned burst
At one copy, 1 BP and a 3 SP setup action add attack to the target’s next attack. Evaluate the setup turn and follow-up action together.
Team combo: Coordinate the following attack before paying for setup.
BP, SP and acquisition sourceNotes: Extra copies increase action SP.
B
Bombardment
Launcher action
multiple targetsLauncher
A 1 BP, 2 SP multi-target Launcher action. Its value depends on how many useful targets the encounter provides.
Team combo: Compare the actual enemy formation with single-target alternatives.
BP, SP and acquisition sourceNotes: Requires Launcher equipment.
B
Call: Cassie
Post-Chapter-5 summon
post-clear battles
A 4 BP, 10 SP summon awarded after Frostmaw. The cost and progression requirement limit where it fits.
Team combo: Replaces an existing summoned ally; check her special Trinity behavior.
BP, SP and acquisition sourceNotes: Unavailable for the first Chapter 5 clear.
Beginner ranking
Favor safe, low-BP cards that make story clears less punishing while new players learn guard timing.
Boss ranking
Rank cards by survival, SP pressure, damage windows, and how well they support Demo 5 boss attempts.
Late-game ranking
Keep high-skill cards lower until their unlock paths, costs, and real build value are clear.
Latest update
Demo 5 card notes
Cure has an attack tradeoff. Bodyguard needs an ally. Call: Cassie is unavailable until after the Chapter 5 clear.
Team combo notes
Choose cards for the action you need
Rank cards with synergy in mind instead of treating every card as a solo carry. Healing, protection, setup, and damage need enough BP and SP room to work together.

Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings tested win-rate results?
No. They are editorial role assessments for five cards, not a complete tier list or a measured comparison of boss clear rates.
Can I use Bodyguard in a solo build?
Bodyguard requires an ally. Its support ranking does not make it solo self-protection.
