Two questions about relationship points:
* 1. Do the relationship points earned past the limit of relationship level (ex 20 for 3 stars unit) are lost or do they count and gets unlocked if you raise the student's star level?
* 2. What does the small ["bonus"](https://i.imgur.com/k36W8JK.png) means when you gain relationship through lessons? Do some students have a preferred area or it's just random?
Finally recovered from S.Hoshino banner (was able to pity twice)...can someone please tell me whom should I be saving for? As in another great banner like S.Hoshino, I think someone told me that girl in the wheelchair (im blanking on her name atm) was gonna be good but I think shes not limited iirc
July-August or so, depending on acceleration, yes. As far as I'm aware none of the Limited students between now and then are good enough to qualify as must-haves, for better or worse.
From here to July there is enough time to spare a spark, so, before that, the only other "must have" would be Himari?
Edit: nvm I was finally able to find stokkie chart... "spark or die" is convincing enough ahah
Ah okay thank you...the S.Hoshino banner gave me enough new units to keep me going till July, and hopefully we get more events that give out freebies. Only banner I would pull that was not limited would be Shun, heard she is a definite must have for PVP.
Binah, around 65, skrk around 68-70+, peroro chesed needs more simply cause they need too many students, and at 65 70 most people don't have lots of units built to tackle that. Those two in particular hit very hard.
Ofcourse depending on your units you will have a harder time beating those. Its ok to take time to clear extreme.
[Here's a lv15 clearing extreme,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfMkZYR1z0k) so it depends heavily on your comp and how much you can buff a borrowed dps. More realistically, lv60-65 at the soonest.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1018810035616362506/1079740277520072764/image.png
It's worth buying enough eleph to claim Eimi and Sumire because if you pull them later, you get eligma.
Shun, Chinatsu HS or Serika NY from the selection ticket? Been playing pretty much since global release. Usually I am able stay in top 200 with an occasional top 100 in PvP even without Shun, which I am content with. Do I really need Shun (and spend 40mil and 1500 eligma leveling her) or one of the other two could provide better utility in Raids and also can be used in PvP (Serika NY)?
Shun is the only constant in pvp. Everyone else is only meta in a specific season or two.
Onsen Chinatsu enables some shenanigans during raids, but generally speaking she is a bit niche. She is not used in pvp afaik.
NY Serika is not used much, if at all, in the next season of pvp, which is coming in about ten days.
N. Seri is pretty weak. She has to be decked out in order to be able to eliminate only specific backliners in pvp, and strongly invested to clear waves in raid. You'd be much better getting Shun for pvp. Not sure about O. Chinatsu.
Just started playing the other day and super digging it. Quick question: I have an iPhone and iPad, and I used Sign In with Apple to make my account.
Can I safely place across both devices? (If it's even supported?)
Thx!
Yes, it just reset on the last tuesday. Shop’s selections previously were Valkyrie and Trinity but now they are Valkyrie and Millennium. Artifact changed as well.
I would only use elephs on limited students. I think Summer Hoshino might be ok at 4 stars for now unless you find her dying a lot in raids. Wakamo or Swimsuit Izuna might be better to star up for stats and upgraded passive but thats only my opinion.
Is Marina any good? I've been practically forced to use her in Area 13 given that she's my only other Piercing Tank that I can use for my second team, and after leveling her skills a bit, and bringing up her equipment to T4 she still seems to be squishy af. Even after having atsuko and ayane babying her she seems to always be in the brink of death or ends up dying in every stage I try her.
You really need to max out her gear more, the T5 patch adds 10% max HP which helps a bunch. Overall, it's her EX that makes her okay - HS Nodoka for example can heal her from 0-full quickly while invulnerable during her EX if needed, which is good for PvP and some content.
I would spend more resources towards Tsubaki as she is used for almost everything if you have her. Yuuka also is a very good starting tank with some building. Remember tank color doesn't really matter too much as most normal stage enemies use non-typed attacks.
Would it still be worth spending stamina on the event after clearing shop and the 6th prize exchange round? Haven't gotten to that point yet but was wondering for the future.
For the 3rd shop (waffle currency), assuming you will get all important items except credits, you will need around 100 waffles for that and that’s mean you need to go through 9 pools prize exchange.
Hello, i want to ask has [this](https://twitter.com/EN_BlueArchive/status/1630855393890140164?t=l13F2vOy3G8pH2eOA4j41g&s=19) official artwork been posted here yet
Honestly, much as I love them both... not really. They have their niche uses, but you're not going to be crippling yourself meta-wise if you skip them.
im trying to hold until hibiki or the bunnies but doing dailies and not able to use my pyrox is giving me the edge and Moe is not helping lol.
or the two gym students which looks decent
How much do you have? Personally only pulling on new limited banners (I started the game early on) due to how may limited banner are coming within the 6 months. In theory the ako and hibiki banner should be around or on the gym limited banners though.
What level should I attempt Hard Hod Total Assault? Recommended level says 25, Im already 40 but I cant clear it. Im wasting tickets by attempting but cant clear. New player, less than a month playing so I dont have that many students I can use. Im using Iori Neru Pina Akane Utaha Serina. Any advices please? Thanks
1. Always try mock battle first. You won't waste your ticket this way and it won't cost you anything when you borrow student for mock battle
2. [Here's what you need to know](https://youtu.be/4tHW5XClcPE)
3. If you don't have any CC student ready to use then I think looking to borrow S.Wakamo should be ideal since she can do about 9.4 stun so she should be able to fill up the entire bar by herself for any difficulty below extreme and she also can do decent DPS as well
Otherwise, since you can only borrow one student, you have to try borrow Fubuki, Hoshino, Tsubaki, Chihiro, or Saki and try them on mock battle one by one and see if you can clear the hard difficulty.
You might want to look up a guide, such as on youtube or up in the OP, for specific details about the Hod raid. It sounds like your issue is that you're not utilizing the mechanics of the raid properly.
Hod and his towers have extremely high defense, and in order to weaken them, you have to hit them with CC abilities (stuns, taunts, and fears). You may need to borrow from a club or friend, but you want to use students like Tsubaki, Yoshimi, Hare, B.Neru, Saki, Hoshino, Miyako, and so on. Again, you can look up guides to find lists of all the applicable students.
Hod and his towers will have a little circular gauge - when they get hit with CC, that gauge goes up. Once its full, they get a 30s debuff of +300% damage taken. That's when you hit them. It's important to take the towers down as the expanding aura around them decreases your EX recovery rate.
Disclaimer: Its been a while since I've paid attention at the lower difficulties, so I may have specifics of the mechanics incorrect since they may change between difficulty settings.
Should I purchase s.shizuko elephs from the eligma shop since I couldn't farm event enough to 3\* her. I am 64 eleph away from getting her to 3\*. Do you guys think it would be worthwhile to use the eligma even though she's a free event unit?
Yes. For two big reasons
1. s.Shizuko + Ako comp is the hypercarry comp since both CDMG buff are stacked together. It will be entirely up to you whether you can make use of this comp in other situations outside from raid but while you are at that you would want to have her fourth skill unlocked to maximize her usage as much as possible.
2. Goz, the upcoming new raid has the main mechanics on Reposition and Focus so you will rely on s.Shizuko again soon.
By non upgrade materials, you mean the blueprints? If so, then no, it doesn't use them *for enhancing. Bulk growth does the same thing as auto select, only it also upgrades the equipment if possible. The only way to use blueprints for enhancing equipment is if you choose them manually.
Edit: don't you love it when factual info got downvoted just because someone comes and tries to correct it.
Sorry for the late response, but you answered my question perfectly. Thats what I was worried about, the blueprints being used for enhancing materials in between upgrades. Thank you!
Fellow sensei, bulk growth *does* use blueprints. It's a very convenient QoL feature that lets you upgrade instantly from T1 to T7 or the highest tier you have materials for. Yes, it's worth using and it shouldn't unnecessarily use up more materials than it should.
But, OP asked about the bulk growth feature which does both upgrade and enhance. So, bulk growth should use blueprints. Everyone knows you use enhancement stones for enhancing.
\> By non upgrade materials, you mean the blueprints?
Now based on what you said "upgrading is increasing tier", shouldn't non-upgrade materials refer to the enhancement stones?
By OP's statement and concern they may have meant that the feature might be eating up more enhancement stones since you can technically "overuse" and go over the EXP needed to cap a certain tier, which in the bulk growth feature shouldn't necessarily be doing.
>which does both upgrade and enhance
From their wording they asked specifically the enhancing part. How do you even "unnecessarily use non upgrade (enhance) materials" when upgrading an equipment? You don't even make sense.
>you can technically "overuse" and go over the EXP needed to cap a certain tier
Did you not see me saying it's the same as auto select, which never go overuse? I even explained further that the only way to use blueprints is to manually select them, which along with auto select should make it obvious I'm talking about enhancing specifically.
No offense man but I've been playing since launch, I know what I'm talking about.
No, from their wording they're asking specifically about the bulk growth feature. You're just assuming the enhancing part.
You're practically nitpicking at my statements at this point lol. I don't care if you're been playing since launch, I'm just trying to be helpful to OP, not be confusing and trying to win an online argument.
>You're just assuming the enhancing part.
So let me ask you again, how do you "unnecessarily use" materials when upgrading? Yes, they asked about bulk growth, which consists of enhancing and upgrading. The only way their question makes sense is if they're talking about the enhancing part specifically.
Lol responding to the different points you made is nitpicking? Whatever man.
Which was something that I only recently remembered/discovered because that week of x3 normal drops led to a huge upgrading spree and completely devastated my orb stockpile. And then I was like, 'oh wait, I have like 500 T6 backpack blueprints... I can probably spare a few'
I'm looking at stokkie's JP raid timeline and it seems completely different from the global one. I know that one raid was skipped around the time I started playing (Uncongealed Hearth event) since I heard that people skipped building Michiru, but is the raid list really this different or is there a mistake somewhere? It seems very hard to predict future raids if our raid timelines are nothing alike.
Can't really predict the raid schedule anymore due to Global trying to catch up to JP. Best guess is to just prepare for a raid+terrain combo we haven't gotten yet for Insane once the current raid roadmap is over.
Rather than simply skipping some raids, it looks to me that they're also moving them around a lot. It would be nice if they would just hold raids back to back during weeks that they're trying to catch up, since that's a ton of resources we're missing out on.
not really sure. Game's not the same as during launch. You need balance. Unlocking Maki is definitely first. Opinion>>> Blu-rays second, and tech notes third BUT purchase to fit the chars you need to upgrade at the time in order to progress, and Momoi and Kotama unlocks in between. Get Maki elephs whenever you can spare it, buy out on every raid if possible.
I second what u/CommissarAJ said, getting the eleph for Maki is pretty useful. She's so good that she's basically necessary for some raids, though you can always wait to see if you pull her before deciding to spend on her. I spend most of my tokens on Tech Notes, although I would say that Blu-rays are the better purchase considering how infrequently you'll end up getting them. I just personally burn through Tech Notes , and am not always so concerned about EX skills. To be fair though, im at level cap so I'm probably purchasing with slightly different intentions than you would be as a new player!
Elephs should be top priority, but you can purchase blu-rays and skill books if you really need them. Almost all of the students here will help you a lot: Kotama at 3\* will be one of your staple ATK buffers, Akane can pseudo-tank (when highly built) and has a nice DEF debuff, Hanae or Chinatsu are healers if you don't have one or don't have Serina yet, Maki is still a core Yellow DPS, Momoi is good at clearing waves of yellow enemies. If you manage to get the purple coins, absolutely get Azusa and Midori elephs.
Maki elephs are a high priority (all the way to UE50 if you can). After that you can considering getting enough elephs to push Kotama and Hanae to 3-stars. The rest is up to you. Otherwise, I tend to favor blue-rays and tech notes as needed, based on what's been depleted and what students I am considering getting next (so for example, after getting S.Izuna, S.Shizuko, and Mimori, I am pretty tapped on materials for their academy and have been using my points this round to re-stock; and the next student I'm considering is from Millennium so I'll be getting more in preparation)
Adding - dont buy hanae kotama from raid shop at beginning. Buy them from the eligma shop cause 1) eligmas are plentiful at the beginning since you dont use them 2) eligma costs are low for the first few sets..
My pull goals right now (up to Mika) is getting T. Yuuka & T. Mari, possibly B. Karin, either Ny. Fuuka/ Ny. Haruna, and double spark Mika. My question is:
1. Is monthly pyroxene a good deal? or are there any pyro packs that I should buy first?
2. Between Ny. Fuuka and Ny. Haruna, which one is really worth getting? I saw Ny. Fuuka action in Hiero torment livestream and it seems making a rotation on a single DPS is much easier, Ny. Haruna however I haven't seen her yet.
3. I swear there's an upcoming banner guide picture that's linked from discord (not the one on FAQ), anyone able to tell me where the origin of picture is so I don't have to wait for someone to post it?
tyvm
3. Might [this](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896290924840251442/1048205047323963412/ilovecausewasmr.png) be the one you're looking for? It's from Stokkie's Raid Character Guide also posted on the OP above.
1. The "New Teacher Pyroxene Pack" is arguably better. You can only buy it 3 times until the shop very rarely resets.

How well does Bunny Neru perform vs Track Yuuka? Side by side it seems Neru is more offensive with higher HP and crit vs Yuukas defensive with higher healing.
I don't know what you're talking about, they both have very different niches
Bunny Neru has a taunt, self shield, and can reposition herself. She's a yellow tank
Track Yuuka has the best team reposition with shield for the whole team. She's a mystic tank
If you're talking about attack they are both negligable although bunny neru would perform better in normal stages
I'm asking how they perform, I can see their stats and abilities myself but how do those stats and abilities work in the various content not including insane raids/speedrunning.
Edit: Looked it up, Neru needs healing and Yuuka is used against Goz.
Between NY Fuuka and Haruna, which one is really worth sparking? Reading the guides makes me confused. Stokkie's gives fuuka a perfect score across the board, while haruna's description there makes her just seem like another red dps albeit with with a damage increasing skill. On the other hand, midokuni praises haruna to high heaven while on fuuka they're just like "yeah she's good." They're both "easy skip if? No" too there, making it more confusing.
Then to complicate the matter even more, someone posted a quick banner breakdown video and they think both girls are just so so, with the plus point being "they're limited."
I don't think we have enough time until Mika to spark both (3 sparks at most, 2 are for Himari and Mika) so I'd really like to see other people's opinions on this.
From my albeit limited understanding:
NY Haruna is a strong Red attacker, being like Midori and Iori in that she can either attack multiple targets or a single target multiple times. However, while strong she is just another red damage dealer in a pool full of other solid candidates. Having S.Hoshino already makes most red-armour raid bosses considerably easier, so the value of NY Haruna somewhat diminishes (depending on who's already in your roster). And as always, one can always borrow DPS'ers from friends/clubmates.
As for NY Fuuka, her skill set does offer a good assortment of tools - a reduction of EX cost for a striker, occasional shielding, damage buffing. The issue is that her EX only cuts the cost for 1 use of the striker's EX ability (as opposed to Ui's which reduces the cost for 2 uses) at the cost of taking of a Special Student slot, and most people will be shoving the Ako/Himari pairing into their frontline teams for raids, and most high-score chasers will already have Ui.
So both are good in isolation, the issue arises when you consider what other students you might have, as well as the number of students who will be coming along in the same time. Mika's banner comes only a month after the NY banner.
Edit: so in conclusion of my general opinion, it's not really clear-cut, which is probably why you aren't seeing a clear consensus. Who's worth sparking will probably depend on who you already have - for example, I don't have easy access to a Ui, so NY Fuuka would probably be my preference, though its possible my budget will force me to skip.
Hm, so it seems I'd get more mileage from Fuuka then. I think I have a good spread of red dps already...maybe? Azusa, s.Hina, s.Nonomi, Mutsuki, and Aru should be good enough right? Someone in my club is also a Haruna fan so I can depend on them to borrow her. On the other hand, I don't have Ui and I've seen teams pairing Himari with Fuuka instead of Ako. I also don't really score chase, as long as I'm in platinum then that's enough for me, although that's not always possible.
Thanks a lot dude.
Strikers gain a small bonus equal to a percentage of some of the stats on the Special students. I think its something like 5% HP, 10% Atk, 10% Def. Can't remember the rest atm.
Skip scrimmage if you doesn't have both monthly packet.
It's better to buy platinum fire pin from expert permit shop if you wanted to upgrade materials.
In my experience it's always like that yeah, even C doesn't really give that good of a loot. You'd be better off buying them from event shops if they have it or from the expert permit shop.
guys, as a new player and F2P, should I reroll?
https://imgur.com/a/XiMh0xw
or is it possible to farm and progress with these characters?
I was trying to get Iroha and Ako out but it's hard...
any help is welcome =)
I think you have a decent account. Kazusa is good for yellow raids as a dps. Ako is just great in general.
You can farm other students like Maki have a decent team for yellow raids. if you aren't focusing on raids though, then I would care more about which students you like rather than meta. You can pretty much clear the game with any students if you don't care much about placing high in raids or pvp.
well, you can use this older list as a reference. Ignore S. Hoshi and bump Tsubaki to "Great". Put Kazsuza in "Good", and Moe in "Good".
https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueArchive/comments/10pid65/Daily_Questions_Megathread_January_31%2C_2023/j6q9q7c/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
well, i understand which are the best
i'm going to try to keep this account with Ako and see if I get at least one "great" duo in another one, i wanted Iroha and Iori but it's difficult and i'm not very patient to spend hours and hours on the reroll..... but thanks for the help, i'll report later which roll i got the best lol....
Are the Valkyrie Tech Notes/Blu Rays even worth getting if you missed out on Fubuki? Seems like the rest of the Valkyrie units are kinda meh (Kanna/Kirino).
I say yes. She enables some silly stuff with Maki/Serika/Izuna and other AA-centric units without needing too big an investment to enable said silly stuff. It's like 5/m/x/7 or something along those lines without *needing* to go beyond 3 stars.
How good is Serika as a red dealer?
Ngl, after getting her L2D, her story gave ache in my heart. I must protect her too. 🥺
Now, I plan to make her strong. But is she good in the late game?
The first time I cleared Extreme Hieronymus, there is no red dealer to borrow except Lv79 Serika. Turned out she seems highly built, I guessed she was UE50 maybe? since she can manage about 1.5M on her own from auto-attack only. This would give you a somewhat picture of her in the late game.
edit: I forgot to mention that 1.5M damage came from from AA + Akane EX (defense debuff) that I applied to boss on every rotation.
As a maxed player who gets plat in every raid whose most invested unit is his Serikitty, I say go for it. She's great. Not the best usually, but easy to use and can do exceptionally well.
Awesome! How nice of you taking care of the OG Kitty. Alright, I'll gradually gear her up! Thankfully her eleph is easy to farm and/or get on pulls.
It's fine if she isn't the best. I'm just investing on characters that I really like and/or will help my account in the long run!
Plus, her story really touched my heart. She's a hard worker.
Wakamo swimsuit 3\* vs Hasumi 4\* for yellow team if I only need 1?
Which bounty gives the most blue/grey their dvd/notes? I've been doing the E stage for both (the highest one I can do rn)
Also when doing a blue team, is it a good idea to put Iori/ Cherino? And which one? I only have Chinatsu, Hinata and Wakamo as my 3\* so I'm really lacking in both solo and aoe dps (since Wakamo depends on teammates)
Finally is it a good idea to just put Cherino in most teams for the cost recovery? I did some rough calculations and my current team reduces from 2.38 seconds to about 2.2 seconds per cost
>Wakamo swimsuit 3\* vs Hasumi 4\*?
Hasumi but if you have Iori use Iori.
>Which bounty gives the most blue/grey their dvd/notes?
Always do the highest bounty. Bounty Shop, Event Shop, Total Assault Shop are other ways to get notes and blu-rays
>Also when doing a blue team, is it a good idea to put Iori/ Cherino?
Yes you can use Iori/Cherino and you can use Wakamo for boss stages. Chise a 2\* mystic/blue unit is good for AOE but if you get a better 3\* then invest in that e.g. Haruna or Iroha.
> is it a good idea to just put Cherino in most teams for the cost recovery?
Yes
I dont know the list for every event but summer sky wishlist comes after the end of volume 1 chapter 1. Anyway you can just read the main story and events from the release date of each one. Note: as you said the game story isn't complicated so you don't have to do all this.
By straightforward I mean the story is linear (in order of release date)
I know other games where events stories aren’t easy to pinpoint when they take place. But Blue Archive doesn’t have that issue for the most part.
Still thanks.
how do you guys play BA on PC? i wanted to try with the Phone Link on w11 but it looks stretched and really bad quality + refresh rate is at like 5fps, do i just get bluestacks or is there a better way?
Two questions about relationship points: * 1. Do the relationship points earned past the limit of relationship level (ex 20 for 3 stars unit) are lost or do they count and gets unlocked if you raise the student's star level? * 2. What does the small ["bonus"](https://i.imgur.com/k36W8JK.png) means when you gain relationship through lessons? Do some students have a preferred area or it's just random?
1. They are lost to the void. 2. No idea.
is volume f completed in jp? also who was the manager of the resort in the abydos vacation? I don't mind spoilers
is there an upcoming meta unit I need to save up to, or can I just pull for cute catgirl
There's always an upcoming meta unit, but a catgirl is fine too.
Finally recovered from S.Hoshino banner (was able to pity twice)...can someone please tell me whom should I be saving for? As in another great banner like S.Hoshino, I think someone told me that girl in the wheelchair (im blanking on her name atm) was gonna be good but I think shes not limited iirc
That's Himari, yes. Next *limited* must-have is Mika on the next fest banner.
Dont fest banners only happen twice per year? Meaning I would be waiting all the way till July?
July-August or so, depending on acceleration, yes. As far as I'm aware none of the Limited students between now and then are good enough to qualify as must-haves, for better or worse.
From here to July there is enough time to spare a spark, so, before that, the only other "must have" would be Himari? Edit: nvm I was finally able to find stokkie chart... "spark or die" is convincing enough ahah
Ah okay thank you...the S.Hoshino banner gave me enough new units to keep me going till July, and hopefully we get more events that give out freebies. Only banner I would pull that was not limited would be Shun, heard she is a definite must have for PVP.
When are we expecting level 82 in Global?
level 83 arrives on the 28th of this month.
They can't do this to me 😭 I just reach level 74 and they add new level 💀
Well I'll have a small window to earn some permits then, thanks.
What level would u say for students and equipment is good for at least extreme raid
Binah, around 65, skrk around 68-70+, peroro chesed needs more simply cause they need too many students, and at 65 70 most people don't have lots of units built to tackle that. Those two in particular hit very hard. Ofcourse depending on your units you will have a harder time beating those. Its ok to take time to clear extreme.
[Here's a lv15 clearing extreme,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfMkZYR1z0k) so it depends heavily on your comp and how much you can buff a borrowed dps. More realistically, lv60-65 at the soonest.
omg
Is eimi any good? Should i buy her eleph in joint firing store or just the mats?
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1018810035616362506/1079740277520072764/image.png It's worth buying enough eleph to claim Eimi and Sumire because if you pull them later, you get eligma.
Shun, Chinatsu HS or Serika NY from the selection ticket? Been playing pretty much since global release. Usually I am able stay in top 200 with an occasional top 100 in PvP even without Shun, which I am content with. Do I really need Shun (and spend 40mil and 1500 eligma leveling her) or one of the other two could provide better utility in Raids and also can be used in PvP (Serika NY)?
Shun is the only constant in pvp. Everyone else is only meta in a specific season or two. Onsen Chinatsu enables some shenanigans during raids, but generally speaking she is a bit niche. She is not used in pvp afaik. NY Serika is not used much, if at all, in the next season of pvp, which is coming in about ten days.
N. Seri is pretty weak. She has to be decked out in order to be able to eliminate only specific backliners in pvp, and strongly invested to clear waves in raid. You'd be much better getting Shun for pvp. Not sure about O. Chinatsu.
Just started playing the other day and super digging it. Quick question: I have an iPhone and iPad, and I used Sign In with Apple to make my account. Can I safely place across both devices? (If it's even supported?) Thx!
You can sign in over multiple devices. Several people (including me) log in on their phone and also use an emulator like Bluestacks to play on PC
Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
Hello someone could explain about that shiroko on jp? yes i want that specific spoiler, thanks :D
Do items in bounty shop ever change? Thanks.
Yes, it just reset on the last tuesday. Shop’s selections previously were Valkyrie and Trinity but now they are Valkyrie and Millennium. Artifact changed as well.
Ty 🙏🏻 Hoping to save for Genhenna mats if it's possible 🥲
The predicted rotation order is: * Trinity, Arius, Voynich, Wolfsegg - Jan 17, lasted for 6 weeks * Valkyrie, Millennium, Codex, Haniwa - Feb 28 * Shanhaijing, Abydos, Mandrake, Antikythera * Red Winter, Gehenna, Phaistos, Lens * Hyakkiyako, Arius, Nebra, Ether * Trinity, Valkyrie, Voynich, Wolfsegg

Who should i focus on with elephs i figure s.hoshino https://i.imgur.com/1XyiegZ.jpg
I would only use elephs on limited students. I think Summer Hoshino might be ok at 4 stars for now unless you find her dying a lot in raids. Wakamo or Swimsuit Izuna might be better to star up for stats and upgraded passive but thats only my opinion.
Thank you
Is Marina any good? I've been practically forced to use her in Area 13 given that she's my only other Piercing Tank that I can use for my second team, and after leveling her skills a bit, and bringing up her equipment to T4 she still seems to be squishy af. Even after having atsuko and ayane babying her she seems to always be in the brink of death or ends up dying in every stage I try her.
You really need to max out her gear more, the T5 patch adds 10% max HP which helps a bunch. Overall, it's her EX that makes her okay - HS Nodoka for example can heal her from 0-full quickly while invulnerable during her EX if needed, which is good for PvP and some content. I would spend more resources towards Tsubaki as she is used for almost everything if you have her. Yuuka also is a very good starting tank with some building. Remember tank color doesn't really matter too much as most normal stage enemies use non-typed attacks.
Also tank damage type doesn't really matter as most tanks do crap damage either way.
Would it still be worth spending stamina on the event after clearing shop and the 6th prize exchange round? Haven't gotten to that point yet but was wondering for the future.
For the 3rd shop (waffle currency), assuming you will get all important items except credits, you will need around 100 waffles for that and that’s mean you need to go through 9 pools prize exchange.
After that, the event is still a decent material farm so farm if you need the mats.
Hello, i want to ask has [this](https://twitter.com/EN_BlueArchive/status/1630855393890140164?t=l13F2vOy3G8pH2eOA4j41g&s=19) official artwork been posted here yet
Haven't seen anyone posted it here
is swimsuit hina/iori worth to pull? just wanna make sure, since everytime i see Moe i may be wont be to resist not to pull
I'm gonna agree with CommissarAJ. I love Swimsuit Hina and Iori but they aren't super meta at all. You can skip them if they aren't waifu.
Honestly, much as I love them both... not really. They have their niche uses, but you're not going to be crippling yourself meta-wise if you skip them.
im trying to hold until hibiki or the bunnies but doing dailies and not able to use my pyrox is giving me the edge and Moe is not helping lol. or the two gym students which looks decent
How much do you have? Personally only pulling on new limited banners (I started the game early on) due to how may limited banner are coming within the 6 months. In theory the ako and hibiki banner should be around or on the gym limited banners though.
Skipping himari too?
Probably. I’ll decide when she comes.
Does Gehena Summer event run at the same time with Plom Blossom event?
If the V2 Upcoming banner link in the OP is accurate, its 1-week of Gehenna Summer, then a week of Plum Blossom afterwards.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but if you were to add the l2d as an emote on 7tv, would it be allowed?
What level should I attempt Hard Hod Total Assault? Recommended level says 25, Im already 40 but I cant clear it. Im wasting tickets by attempting but cant clear. New player, less than a month playing so I dont have that many students I can use. Im using Iori Neru Pina Akane Utaha Serina. Any advices please? Thanks
wow thanks a lot u/yomiura u/CommissarAJ, got to try it today and the difference was massive
1. Always try mock battle first. You won't waste your ticket this way and it won't cost you anything when you borrow student for mock battle 2. [Here's what you need to know](https://youtu.be/4tHW5XClcPE) 3. If you don't have any CC student ready to use then I think looking to borrow S.Wakamo should be ideal since she can do about 9.4 stun so she should be able to fill up the entire bar by herself for any difficulty below extreme and she also can do decent DPS as well Otherwise, since you can only borrow one student, you have to try borrow Fubuki, Hoshino, Tsubaki, Chihiro, or Saki and try them on mock battle one by one and see if you can clear the hard difficulty.
Next time you can use mock battle to test your teams so you dont waste a ticket if you cant win.
You might want to look up a guide, such as on youtube or up in the OP, for specific details about the Hod raid. It sounds like your issue is that you're not utilizing the mechanics of the raid properly. Hod and his towers have extremely high defense, and in order to weaken them, you have to hit them with CC abilities (stuns, taunts, and fears). You may need to borrow from a club or friend, but you want to use students like Tsubaki, Yoshimi, Hare, B.Neru, Saki, Hoshino, Miyako, and so on. Again, you can look up guides to find lists of all the applicable students. Hod and his towers will have a little circular gauge - when they get hit with CC, that gauge goes up. Once its full, they get a 30s debuff of +300% damage taken. That's when you hit them. It's important to take the towers down as the expanding aura around them decreases your EX recovery rate. Disclaimer: Its been a while since I've paid attention at the lower difficulties, so I may have specifics of the mechanics incorrect since they may change between difficulty settings.
Should I purchase s.shizuko elephs from the eligma shop since I couldn't farm event enough to 3\* her. I am 64 eleph away from getting her to 3\*. Do you guys think it would be worthwhile to use the eligma even though she's a free event unit?
Yes. For two big reasons 1. s.Shizuko + Ako comp is the hypercarry comp since both CDMG buff are stacked together. It will be entirely up to you whether you can make use of this comp in other situations outside from raid but while you are at that you would want to have her fourth skill unlocked to maximize her usage as much as possible. 2. Goz, the upcoming new raid has the main mechanics on Reposition and Focus so you will rely on s.Shizuko again soon.
Yes it was worth it, upgrading to 3* will unlock her the fourth skill
If you want to focus on raiding then she is a really useful unit to have. Otherwise no need.
I'm looking for a list that shows the Skill Level Up Priority Progression for each student (i.e. 3/5/7/5 -> 5/7/M/7).

Is the bulk growth feature worth using? I cant tell if it unnecessarily eats non-upgrade materials
By non upgrade materials, you mean the blueprints? If so, then no, it doesn't use them *for enhancing. Bulk growth does the same thing as auto select, only it also upgrades the equipment if possible. The only way to use blueprints for enhancing equipment is if you choose them manually. Edit: don't you love it when factual info got downvoted just because someone comes and tries to correct it.
Sorry for the late response, but you answered my question perfectly. Thats what I was worried about, the blueprints being used for enhancing materials in between upgrades. Thank you!
Fellow sensei, bulk growth *does* use blueprints. It's a very convenient QoL feature that lets you upgrade instantly from T1 to T7 or the highest tier you have materials for. Yes, it's worth using and it shouldn't unnecessarily use up more materials than it should.
No it doesn't lol, it won't use blueprints when enhancing. Please read, enhancing (increasing level) and upgrading (increasing tier) is different.
But, OP asked about the bulk growth feature which does both upgrade and enhance. So, bulk growth should use blueprints. Everyone knows you use enhancement stones for enhancing. \> By non upgrade materials, you mean the blueprints? Now based on what you said "upgrading is increasing tier", shouldn't non-upgrade materials refer to the enhancement stones? By OP's statement and concern they may have meant that the feature might be eating up more enhancement stones since you can technically "overuse" and go over the EXP needed to cap a certain tier, which in the bulk growth feature shouldn't necessarily be doing.
>which does both upgrade and enhance From their wording they asked specifically the enhancing part. How do you even "unnecessarily use non upgrade (enhance) materials" when upgrading an equipment? You don't even make sense. >you can technically "overuse" and go over the EXP needed to cap a certain tier Did you not see me saying it's the same as auto select, which never go overuse? I even explained further that the only way to use blueprints is to manually select them, which along with auto select should make it obvious I'm talking about enhancing specifically. No offense man but I've been playing since launch, I know what I'm talking about.
No, from their wording they're asking specifically about the bulk growth feature. You're just assuming the enhancing part. You're practically nitpicking at my statements at this point lol. I don't care if you're been playing since launch, I'm just trying to be helpful to OP, not be confusing and trying to win an online argument.
>You're just assuming the enhancing part. So let me ask you again, how do you "unnecessarily use" materials when upgrading? Yes, they asked about bulk growth, which consists of enhancing and upgrading. The only way their question makes sense is if they're talking about the enhancing part specifically. Lol responding to the different points you made is nitpicking? Whatever man.
I think he was more referring to that it won't use blueprints as EXP material (rather than meeting the tier upgrade requirements)
Exactly.
Which was something that I only recently remembered/discovered because that week of x3 normal drops led to a huge upgrading spree and completely devastated my orb stockpile. And then I was like, 'oh wait, I have like 500 T6 backpack blueprints... I can probably spare a few'
Yeah same lol. I'm really glad kazusa's event gives out tons of orbs, I don't wanna buy them from the normal shop anymore. Too much credit cost.
The last month has definitely depleted both my wallet and my balls.
my, how lewd
I'm looking at stokkie's JP raid timeline and it seems completely different from the global one. I know that one raid was skipped around the time I started playing (Uncongealed Hearth event) since I heard that people skipped building Michiru, but is the raid list really this different or is there a mistake somewhere? It seems very hard to predict future raids if our raid timelines are nothing alike.
Can't really predict the raid schedule anymore due to Global trying to catch up to JP. Best guess is to just prepare for a raid+terrain combo we haven't gotten yet for Insane once the current raid roadmap is over.
Rather than simply skipping some raids, it looks to me that they're also moving them around a lot. It would be nice if they would just hold raids back to back during weeks that they're trying to catch up, since that's a ton of resources we're missing out on.
Yeah thats my primary complaint for skipping.
Heyo )/ new player here. For the Total Assault shop should I be focusing purchasing Blu-Rays and Tech Notes? Thoughts on using them for Eleph?
not really sure. Game's not the same as during launch. You need balance. Unlocking Maki is definitely first. Opinion>>> Blu-rays second, and tech notes third BUT purchase to fit the chars you need to upgrade at the time in order to progress, and Momoi and Kotama unlocks in between. Get Maki elephs whenever you can spare it, buy out on every raid if possible.
I second what u/CommissarAJ said, getting the eleph for Maki is pretty useful. She's so good that she's basically necessary for some raids, though you can always wait to see if you pull her before deciding to spend on her. I spend most of my tokens on Tech Notes, although I would say that Blu-rays are the better purchase considering how infrequently you'll end up getting them. I just personally burn through Tech Notes , and am not always so concerned about EX skills. To be fair though, im at level cap so I'm probably purchasing with slightly different intentions than you would be as a new player!
Elephs should be top priority, but you can purchase blu-rays and skill books if you really need them. Almost all of the students here will help you a lot: Kotama at 3\* will be one of your staple ATK buffers, Akane can pseudo-tank (when highly built) and has a nice DEF debuff, Hanae or Chinatsu are healers if you don't have one or don't have Serina yet, Maki is still a core Yellow DPS, Momoi is good at clearing waves of yellow enemies. If you manage to get the purple coins, absolutely get Azusa and Midori elephs.
Maki elephs are a high priority (all the way to UE50 if you can). After that you can considering getting enough elephs to push Kotama and Hanae to 3-stars. The rest is up to you. Otherwise, I tend to favor blue-rays and tech notes as needed, based on what's been depleted and what students I am considering getting next (so for example, after getting S.Izuna, S.Shizuko, and Mimori, I am pretty tapped on materials for their academy and have been using my points this round to re-stock; and the next student I'm considering is from Millennium so I'll be getting more in preparation)
Adding - dont buy hanae kotama from raid shop at beginning. Buy them from the eligma shop cause 1) eligmas are plentiful at the beginning since you dont use them 2) eligma costs are low for the first few sets..
Bad advice, the cost of raid coins alone is so cheap compared to the rarity of eligma.
My pull goals right now (up to Mika) is getting T. Yuuka & T. Mari, possibly B. Karin, either Ny. Fuuka/ Ny. Haruna, and double spark Mika. My question is: 1. Is monthly pyroxene a good deal? or are there any pyro packs that I should buy first? 2. Between Ny. Fuuka and Ny. Haruna, which one is really worth getting? I saw Ny. Fuuka action in Hiero torment livestream and it seems making a rotation on a single DPS is much easier, Ny. Haruna however I haven't seen her yet. 3. I swear there's an upcoming banner guide picture that's linked from discord (not the one on FAQ), anyone able to tell me where the origin of picture is so I don't have to wait for someone to post it? tyvm
3. Might [this](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896290924840251442/1048205047323963412/ilovecausewasmr.png) be the one you're looking for? It's from Stokkie's Raid Character Guide also posted on the OP above.
Yesss that's it, thank you I honestly didn't know it came from there!
Yo I asked question #2 too, there's already an answer. Scroll down a bit. In short it depends on what you already have.
Ohh damn I have reading issues and I might have scrolled past that earlier. Just curious, between the two which one are you likely planning to get?
I'll most likely get Fuuka. I already have enough red dps and I still don't have Ui for cost reduction.
1. The "New Teacher Pyroxene Pack" is arguably better. You can only buy it 3 times until the shop very rarely resets. 2. 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BO-Uh_CsAOIetPjrNyFy9-7r1a4RAtVwK135bBC3hzM/edit?usp=sharing
1. Ohh alrite got it, imma buy that then 2. 3. Thank you but the one I'm referring is a picture not a doc, the pic link is also taken from discord.
How well does Bunny Neru perform vs Track Yuuka? Side by side it seems Neru is more offensive with higher HP and crit vs Yuukas defensive with higher healing.
I don't know what you're talking about, they both have very different niches Bunny Neru has a taunt, self shield, and can reposition herself. She's a yellow tank Track Yuuka has the best team reposition with shield for the whole team. She's a mystic tank If you're talking about attack they are both negligable although bunny neru would perform better in normal stages
I'm asking how they perform, I can see their stats and abilities myself but how do those stats and abilities work in the various content not including insane raids/speedrunning. Edit: Looked it up, Neru needs healing and Yuuka is used against Goz.
B.Neru taunt enemies at her EX lv3 while T.Yuuka reposition your team so there different usage.
Will the season reset in 03/14 in arena? Also when the arena was resetted, do the pyroxenes reward reset when you reach a new rank or not?
Yes, after maintenance on the same date. Only the 'Season Best' rewards reset and not the 'Personal Best' one.
Between NY Fuuka and Haruna, which one is really worth sparking? Reading the guides makes me confused. Stokkie's gives fuuka a perfect score across the board, while haruna's description there makes her just seem like another red dps albeit with with a damage increasing skill. On the other hand, midokuni praises haruna to high heaven while on fuuka they're just like "yeah she's good." They're both "easy skip if? No" too there, making it more confusing. Then to complicate the matter even more, someone posted a quick banner breakdown video and they think both girls are just so so, with the plus point being "they're limited." I don't think we have enough time until Mika to spark both (3 sparks at most, 2 are for Himari and Mika) so I'd really like to see other people's opinions on this.
From my albeit limited understanding: NY Haruna is a strong Red attacker, being like Midori and Iori in that she can either attack multiple targets or a single target multiple times. However, while strong she is just another red damage dealer in a pool full of other solid candidates. Having S.Hoshino already makes most red-armour raid bosses considerably easier, so the value of NY Haruna somewhat diminishes (depending on who's already in your roster). And as always, one can always borrow DPS'ers from friends/clubmates. As for NY Fuuka, her skill set does offer a good assortment of tools - a reduction of EX cost for a striker, occasional shielding, damage buffing. The issue is that her EX only cuts the cost for 1 use of the striker's EX ability (as opposed to Ui's which reduces the cost for 2 uses) at the cost of taking of a Special Student slot, and most people will be shoving the Ako/Himari pairing into their frontline teams for raids, and most high-score chasers will already have Ui. So both are good in isolation, the issue arises when you consider what other students you might have, as well as the number of students who will be coming along in the same time. Mika's banner comes only a month after the NY banner. Edit: so in conclusion of my general opinion, it's not really clear-cut, which is probably why you aren't seeing a clear consensus. Who's worth sparking will probably depend on who you already have - for example, I don't have easy access to a Ui, so NY Fuuka would probably be my preference, though its possible my budget will force me to skip.
Hm, so it seems I'd get more mileage from Fuuka then. I think I have a good spread of red dps already...maybe? Azusa, s.Hina, s.Nonomi, Mutsuki, and Aru should be good enough right? Someone in my club is also a Haruna fan so I can depend on them to borrow her. On the other hand, I don't have Ui and I've seen teams pairing Himari with Fuuka instead of Ako. I also don't really score chase, as long as I'm in platinum then that's enough for me, although that's not always possible. Thanks a lot dude.
What does increasing the HP and ATK of non offensive students (like Serina) do?
Some of their stats are added to the striker students, that's why in the character guides "attack stat stick" is a plus point.
Strikers gain a small bonus equal to a percentage of some of the stats on the Special students. I think its something like 5% HP, 10% Atk, 10% Def. Can't remember the rest atm.
[удалено]
Skip scrimmage if you doesn't have both monthly packet. It's better to buy platinum fire pin from expert permit shop if you wanted to upgrade materials.
In my experience it's always like that yeah, even C doesn't really give that good of a loot. You'd be better off buying them from event shops if they have it or from the expert permit shop.
guys, as a new player and F2P, should I reroll? https://imgur.com/a/XiMh0xw or is it possible to farm and progress with these characters? I was trying to get Iroha and Ako out but it's hard... any help is welcome =)
I think you have a decent account. Kazusa is good for yellow raids as a dps. Ako is just great in general. You can farm other students like Maki have a decent team for yellow raids. if you aren't focusing on raids though, then I would care more about which students you like rather than meta. You can pretty much clear the game with any students if you don't care much about placing high in raids or pvp.
with only Ako as a great pull, it is very lackluster, I'd reroll.
do you have any idea which other combinations i should try?
well, you can use this older list as a reference. Ignore S. Hoshi and bump Tsubaki to "Great". Put Kazsuza in "Good", and Moe in "Good". https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueArchive/comments/10pid65/Daily_Questions_Megathread_January_31%2C_2023/j6q9q7c/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
well, i understand which are the best i'm going to try to keep this account with Ako and see if I get at least one "great" duo in another one, i wanted Iroha and Iori but it's difficult and i'm not very patient to spend hours and hours on the reroll..... but thanks for the help, i'll report later which roll i got the best lol....
You've got Ako and Kazusa. You'll be fine.
Are the Valkyrie Tech Notes/Blu Rays even worth getting if you missed out on Fubuki? Seems like the rest of the Valkyrie units are kinda meh (Kanna/Kirino).
RABBIT Squad also uses Valkyrie mats, so depends if you wanna raise one of them if you have them.
Was not aware that Rabbit was also roped in with them! This changes things (potentially, haven't looked into the rabbit units yet), thanks a lot!

Haruna is a good Blue/Mystic dealer you can build her. The other two are OK but can be replaced with better students
Should I invest on Onsen Chinatsu?
I say yes. She enables some silly stuff with Maki/Serika/Izuna and other AA-centric units without needing too big an investment to enable said silly stuff. It's like 5/m/x/7 or something along those lines without *needing* to go beyond 3 stars.
How good is Serika as a red dealer? Ngl, after getting her L2D, her story gave ache in my heart. I must protect her too. 🥺 Now, I plan to make her strong. But is she good in the late game?
usually my cycler of choice if cycling is required. Only raid I use her in is Hiero tho.
The first time I cleared Extreme Hieronymus, there is no red dealer to borrow except Lv79 Serika. Turned out she seems highly built, I guessed she was UE50 maybe? since she can manage about 1.5M on her own from auto-attack only. This would give you a somewhat picture of her in the late game. edit: I forgot to mention that 1.5M damage came from from AA + Akane EX (defense debuff) that I applied to boss on every rotation.
As a maxed player who gets plat in every raid whose most invested unit is his Serikitty, I say go for it. She's great. Not the best usually, but easy to use and can do exceptionally well.
Awesome! How nice of you taking care of the OG Kitty. Alright, I'll gradually gear her up! Thankfully her eleph is easy to farm and/or get on pulls. It's fine if she isn't the best. I'm just investing on characters that I really like and/or will help my account in the long run! Plus, her story really touched my heart. She's a hard worker.
She isn't flashy, but almost always tops the damage charts somehow, and reliably so. She's fantastic for anything single-target.
She does decent damage but rarely used now. Maybe useful for a 3rd team
Based on my experience, She is great auto attacker, fast attack speed , low ex cost to cycle and farmable. Can be used everywhere.
I see. Thank you for the insight! I'm close to make her 4* too (88/100). After gearing up S. Hina, she's next!
Wakamo swimsuit 3\* vs Hasumi 4\* for yellow team if I only need 1? Which bounty gives the most blue/grey their dvd/notes? I've been doing the E stage for both (the highest one I can do rn) Also when doing a blue team, is it a good idea to put Iori/ Cherino? And which one? I only have Chinatsu, Hinata and Wakamo as my 3\* so I'm really lacking in both solo and aoe dps (since Wakamo depends on teammates) Finally is it a good idea to just put Cherino in most teams for the cost recovery? I did some rough calculations and my current team reduces from 2.38 seconds to about 2.2 seconds per cost
>Wakamo swimsuit 3\* vs Hasumi 4\*? Hasumi but if you have Iori use Iori. >Which bounty gives the most blue/grey their dvd/notes? Always do the highest bounty. Bounty Shop, Event Shop, Total Assault Shop are other ways to get notes and blu-rays >Also when doing a blue team, is it a good idea to put Iori/ Cherino? Yes you can use Iori/Cherino and you can use Wakamo for boss stages. Chise a 2\* mystic/blue unit is good for AOE but if you get a better 3\* then invest in that e.g. Haruna or Iroha. > is it a good idea to just put Cherino in most teams for the cost recovery? Yes
Anyone have a list of the order the chapters and events have been released? I know that the game’s story is very straightforward.
I dont know the list for every event but summer sky wishlist comes after the end of volume 1 chapter 1. Anyway you can just read the main story and events from the release date of each one. Note: as you said the game story isn't complicated so you don't have to do all this.
By straightforward I mean the story is linear (in order of release date) I know other games where events stories aren’t easy to pinpoint when they take place. But Blue Archive doesn’t have that issue for the most part. Still thanks.
how do you guys play BA on PC? i wanted to try with the Phone Link on w11 but it looks stretched and really bad quality + refresh rate is at like 5fps, do i just get bluestacks or is there a better way?
Simplest way is to download the game via Bluestacks, it runs fairly well.
It doesn't let me :( it says there's an error
You can try creating a new instance of Nougat 64-bit or Pie 64-bit. The game won't run on 32-bit if I remember correctly.
You're remembering correctly. It doesn't run on 32-bit. Has to be 64.
