Beat Performer
Excels in long-range combat, using a Guitar as a weapon. Heals while attacking, excels in granting allies buffs, and possesses excellent support capabilities.
Class Overview
Beat Performer is one of the classes available in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance . They fulfill the Support role while wielding a Guitar as their weapon of choice. Beat Performer has access to two specs - Dissonance and Concerto . Below you can find a summary of both, showing their strong and weak sides, how they play and more.
Dissonance’s primary mechanic is healing a portion of all damage dealt, which when combined with the fact that it is able to output damage equal to a good portion of a dedicated damage dealer , allows it to fulfill the role of sustain while also bringing tremendous damage buffs to the group. Dissonance is played much like a damage dealer , focused on maximizing damage that heals by accident.
The trade-off for all this is that the class loses much of its ranged capabilities, with many of its best abilities requiring you to hit a target in melee range . In addition to all this, it also provides 10-30% increased resilience break efficiency and 15% increased damage against broken enemies. If you want to compete with damage dealers for rank 1 while also offering crazy support, Dissonance is a top choice.
Pros
- •High healer damage.
- •Party-wide super armor and break efficiency.
- •Very consistent healing
Cons
- •Massively reduced healing when unable to deal damage.
- •Requires high Luck and endgame talents in order to function effectively.
Concerto is Beat Performers' dedicated healing spec that has one of the most powerful party-wide buffs in the game , which is capable of granting 16–32% of the Performer's total Intelligence to allies as their main stat - 2000 Intelligence is 320-640 stats for the whole team. This fact alone secures Concerto’s position in large groups where multiple healers are required , but also makes it a compelling choice in smaller group sizes as well.
Concerto Spec can also uniquely deploy a speaker capable of duplicating all healing you use - timing and positioning this speaker are key to success. However, in the early game without abundant stats, this is incredibly difficult to do well.
Pros
- •Gigantic party buff.
- •Excellent healing radius thanks to the deployed speaker.
Cons
- •Requires high stats and stat breakpoints to perform optimally.
- •Needs most talent points in order to function effectively
- •Mismanagement of resources and cooldowns can leave you without abilities.

How to Level & Play
Guidance based on Prydwen resources to help you bridge the gap before specialising.
Equip the abilities below in the order you unlock them for the most effective pre-specialization Beat Performer build.
- Harmonic Anthem
- Healing Melody
- Fivefold Crescendo
- Flex
Your last choice is non-essential at this point of progression, but these are the best choices:
- Passion Burst : A high-cooldown ability you can use to deal additional damage
- Encore : A defensive, healing and damage increase cooldown which lasts 10 seconds.
For optimal power, activate your starting talents in the following order.
Maintain Healing Melody to passively heal while consuming your Performance Energy. Press the skill again to unsummon it before moving out of range of it to conserve resources.
While doing that use your remaining abilities like this:
- Amplified Beat is our base Special skill that can become enhanced, avoid using this when it is not enhanced as you want to save Performance Energy for Healing Melody . Used to provide healing as well as a small shield.
- Use Harmonic Anthem in downtime to deal extra damage.
- Use Fivefold Crescendo to consume 3 performance passion (musical note resource) to provide a large burst of healing but with a long cooldown.
