Thread for discussion of the global server of Blue Archive
I'm pretty new to the game. Any tips?
>>1362932>>>>>/vg/
>>1370301Those threads move too fast.
>>1362932miyu sex
>>1370301/vmg/ is for a generals board serious discussions and not shitposting
>>1362932Should I start playing this game?
>>1383804Yeah, it's pretty good. Global is having the 2.5th anniversary event soon and you'll be able to get really strong units to carry you through the whole game.
I don't understand how the cafe works. I understand that I have to craft Furniture. I don't understand how the furniture affects students. Do students require specific furnitures?
>>1383804i heard they made the story free to read without going through missions so its absolutely good to try if youre curious to see how it is from the get go>>1388691you can just get the comfort level to max, doesnt matter which furniture. each character have a specific animation depending on the furniture placed
>>1388691Furniture increases your comfort level, and comfort level increases how fast you get money and AP back. Certain students have special animations with certain types of furniture. In a recent JP update (it'll release with the Railgun collab in GL) they made it so that if you have a student's preferred furniture out, you're more likely to have that student visit your cafe.
Just started this title last week, scored Hanako and I went through one of her relationship stories.Holy fucking shit what were these guys smoking designing her?"Let's go to the abandoned and secluded gym storage room, Sensei. Here, I even borrowed the keys".This is so fucking hot.I've played Fire Emblem and Azur Lane, holy shit no wonder this game makes so much money. Animated scene with her sitting in a fountain. And this is relationship level 1. Imagine when AI kicks off even further and they let you have conversations with your characters.. I'm gonna have to delete this game.
>>1370301fuckin hell those shitbags post way too much, they practically live on the thread
>>1395277my biggest complaint about momotalk is when they text out their inner thoughts??! like wtf lmao. immersion killed. not like there was much from the start when all the students type in proper sentence capitalization. are they using speech to text in the lore or some shit
Okay, I downloaded for hanako titties but I'm playing through the main story and it's genuinely engaging. Finished 2 chapters of volume 1 and 1 chapter of Vol 2. The story maps aren't engaging though do act as a nice playground to get a feel for the characters. But the actual story is fun. I enjoy how (You), Sensei, don't overcentralize the story, but you have influence and authority to give the kids a nudge in a direction that drives the plot. It's fun stuff.
>>1398938This event had some cute cutscenes in the story maps instead of having generic fights so i hope future events and story chapters will also do that.
>>1398938There is a singular instant in the main story where they level gate you so don't neglect to spend all your AP to level up. 1AP = 1XP. The gameplay in mission mode is absolutely braindead when you are overlevel, so I auto it while doing something else. It's passable when you actually need to play to win. You can also just use the sweep function to level up if you don't want to engage with that.Have a look at the /bag/ newfag guide table of contents. Enjoy, the story is fun.
>>1399780Add Kisaki just because of that thread that's been up for almost a year.
>>1400958It probably is. In that case i think Arona is always a good pick.
Good luck with Hanako banner anons.
>>1400967Scored her in 3600 + a ticket. Holy shit. This is awesome.>>1399351>>Have a look at the /bag/ newfag guide table of contents. Enjoy, the story is fun.Time to start with that. Building a new team with her.
>>1401003Just make sure to check enemies armor colour if you have any trouble.
>>1398323Actually yes, they showed this in Tsurugi's momotalk when her autistic screeching was accidentally sent through voice to text. The stuttering on text that half of them do bothered me too until I just started thinking they were all using voice to text.
>>1398323bad writing unfortunately since you don't really realize how they're communicating with you until way further down the line, you're just able to magically hear and perceive their thoughts, even when you aren't present kek>>1398938Yeah I was surpised as well to see they actually tried crafting a story instead of a completely bland "self-insert savior of all" schtick. Volume 1 is definitely my favorite atm, I'm stuck getting filtered in vol 3 (lol random level check bc why not!)>>1400967got everyone i wanted in 5(0) pulls, absolutely bitchin banner
>>1398323Arona is a mind reader.
Anyone have a link to the banner schedule?
>>1406079Trash site but gets the job donehttps://hina.loves.midokuni.com/Summary/Banner
>>1406230Time to save up for Hina and nothing else >>1399780Speaking of which, it’s probably too late but I think we should have traded Mutsuki for her
>decide to download Blue Archive>prettycoolcuteanimegirls.jpeg>never put money into a gacha>want to get swimsuits, buy 18$ starter bundle>apparently wrong ticket because this one looks slightly different than the other>buy the other 18$ ticket bundleIs this how they get you??
>>1408395Yes but you have to not be ooga booga and read what you’re buying, then you’re golden. Also, even at the very beginning of playing you can do 200 pulls so fast, the story just barfs out gems
>>1408396ive noticed, I just wanted the cute outfits. anyone have any tips for a beginner?
>>1408399For gameplay you can try to reroll for iroha and you pretty much beat the game.Other than that,>save eligma for your faves>save at least 200 emergency pulls, rate up here is fucking dogshit>never focus on pvp>raise your faves' affection for l2d lobby>ALWAYS try to match your enemies' weakness
Here's a Hina to boost activity
>>1409095Dead weeks and reruns don't really help with that.
Can someone explain this new event? I got past the hot springs and now im on the second island with 2-3 rating enemies that fuck me. Any tips?
>>1411303Each enemy number has different academy buff so try to make teams made of buffed school.
Is start dash recruitment worth it?
>>1412116>Is buying this with a random chance of getting something good?Gee, wtf do you think
Finally a cute red winter girl.
I didn't even know this board/thread was a thing... Is this thread less hornybaiting/ritualposty?
New player.Should you pull for Marina? Is she a good unit? Heard something about her being a decent PVP tank. I have Cherino, so i had thoughts about running her with Marina and Minori for bonuses from Cherino's cost recovery increase. Is it worth it, or are the bonuses too miniscule?As far as i understand, we'll have limited banner with sports Yuuka in 3ish(?) weeks after current banner, so maybe it's just better to save for it.
>>1415907I'm pretty sure it's the first global server thread here so no such thing happened but it's really slow.>>1416072I don't see her in pvp too often myself. The bonus is not worth it since using other students is simply better. Also Marina isn't limited either so if you get lucky you will get her at some point. So yes, saving for Yuuka is a better idea.
>>1416072She's good for pvp and some raids but Yuuka is better
>*blue archive: a tactical rpg*>"nice">download game>nice tutorial and intro>start playing>cute anime girls, cool>story missions and regular missions, great>as I keep playing it gets increasingly complicated, and moves further away from a tactical rpg>one set of daily login stamps>another set of daily login stamps (???)>daily tasks, weekly tasks>upgrades, requiring multiple different resources for various items, abilities, and a general character upgrade>there are different resources for different academies (???)>there are like five different currencies for the shop (???)>can't even buy these currencies with those diamond things, general currency>cafe, invite girls to it, get resources>whatsapp for talking to your harem>crafting thing, with some kind of convoluted scheme for crafting>training missions in different city areas which increase something (???)>club guild thing for making friends to help you outit just keeps going, all I wanted to do was go into anime girl tactical battlesthe girls are super cute, amazing art and voice acting, the story seems really great from what I could gather playing the game for a week, I enjoyed the "dates" with the girls, very fun interactions; the gameplay is really good, it's fun to create well working formations and use the abilitiesbut, Jesus Christ, the game is insanely convoluted with all of these bells and whistlesalso the music is fantastic, I still play the tracks occasionally even though I don't play the gameno one asked for this review, but I felt a need to share my thoughts somewhere; I guess the game just isn't for megoing back to Minesweeper Classic: Retro
where my seia fans at?
>>1419410first gacha? BA's system is simple as fuck especially when compared to other gachas
Whos the best girl and why is it Haruka?
>>1420896She will be added soon. For sure...!
>>1421653maybe ill actually play when that happens
New player here, how bricked is my account?And generally, any beginner advice? A lot of stuff that I am not fully comprehending yet.
>>14219955 3* for a new account is really good i think.Try clearing the story to unlock your cafe upgrades because you lvl up your account by spending energy.Also remember that pity resets each banner so sometimes you want to save up 200 rolls just to be sure.
>>1422033But are they actually good 3*? Aru and Neru seem to be pretty good, but I am not really sure about the other three.What effect does the level of support units have on the field? Since they don't actively engage in battle, what do their stats do?
>>1422040Aru is really good and Shun is a must for pvp if you care about that. Tsurugi and Neru are okay but they are tanks anyway so they won't deal that much damage. Never used Sumire but i think she is pretty irrelevant...The best students in the game are from limited anniversary banners i'm afraid.Supports give like 10% of their attack and hp stats and 5% of the rest to your main students as a buff. But i might be wrong on the exact numbers.But lvls also increase stats like healing so it makes Serina heal for more for example. Some support students also deal damage with their skills so their attack matters too.
>>1422040Decent enough. Aru is top tier. Shun is strong for PvP and general clearing. Tsurugi is good with her unique equipment - pick her for headpatting and get her to 15. Neru and Yuuka are both solid tanks. Overall, you're in good shape.
>>1370301BA is still a mobile game 100%, so it can have a spot here if the players want to.However, if they want to rant or shitpost, the /vg/ thread is most appropiate for such purposes.
>>1408419It's almost a MUST to avoid any PvP from most gachas unless they do the classic:>"You need a PVP currency from PVP battles to use when upgrading important stuff"At that point, consider actually dropping the game.
>>1423064To be fair, in BA the PvP shop can give you an extra 90 AP every day, which is really good. Especially if you stock it and save for events and refresh 4 times for 360 extra AP. Fortunately you get enough to buy the AP every day just from joining PvP, even if you lose every time.
https://catbox.moe/c/ir76e4Can someone tell me which ones are actually worth building?
>>1424329Cherino is great, Kazusa is fine if you don't have Mika, Tsubaki is a great tank, Serina has a cheap heal so she's also good.
>>1424329Striker Cherino is fantastic. Nonomi is also a pretty solid yellow attacker. You'll be using Haruna, Chise and Bunny Akane for clearing all of the Mission stages with prominent Blue armor enemies (after you hit mission 10 almost every stage after that has blue armor). Tasubaki and Hoshino are both fairly solid tanks. Yuuka and Eimi are both good tanks as well once you get their relationships to 15 and unlock their unique item. You'll need at least two built tanks, but you'll really want 3. There's a lot of stages where you'll need 2 or sometimes 3 different parties.For Supports, Kanna is decent, but more for raids and boss fights, so less important while you're getting through missions and such. I wouldn't worry about leveling her until you feel comfortable tacking a Yellow raid. Cherino (Hot Springs) will be fairly useful for clearing Red content. She gets better when you get her relationship to 15 and unlock her unique item. Mari and Serina are both GOAT supports. You'll level them up and use them a lot. Utaha has some uses, but I'd hold off on her until you see a need for her.
Does the main story get any updates, or is it "finished"?
>>1425458It takes a while but they keep releasing new chapters. JP already has some Hyakkiyako chapter released.
>>1425569Also the prelude for the new Abydos chapter.
>>1425433>>1425414Nice, thank you guys.
>>1432169Go be retarded somewhere else. BA has a lot of girls in bikinis.
>>1432215Is prude design for Rabbits and Hanako not because of censorship by feminists?
>>1432217>BA has no bikini since 2023>post a character who got a bikini just a couple of months ago>i-it doesn't count!!!!I told you go be retarded somewhere else.
>>1432288Would BA have their own gravure too like LL,Imas,FGO?
welp, major fuck ups today. I'll be around more often
This will be the bunker as mainline /bag/ keeps getting more and more uncomfy due to the recent announcements.
>>1432556nexon really did it now, the rest of the world just woke up to the news from the streams, so it'll be nuclear. Too bad there's like 3 people in here at most at a time>more alts>new "game mode">another upgrade mechanic to farmthey really just don't give a shit about new players these days. At least we're getting more story. Not even going to talk about anime sensei
>>1432914why are you surprised that a priconne clone is going the priconne way?
>>1433045But Priconne has bikini while BA doesn't for Korea bans bikini. BA will get burka swimsuit in 2024 too. No bikini. Spite Japanese console game got bikini banned by Kishida since July 2022
>>1433045But they couldn't rip off bikini due to Korea banning bikini.
>>1432556I hope they will introduce some new highlander students soon.
stop replying to bikinischizoyou can find better conversation with tweakers sleeping on the sidewalk
Single pull vs 10?
>>1434539no difference.
>>1434539Literally doesn't matter, you'll have to go to Spark anyway.
>>1362932i downloaded the game today, the first 10 pull i did i got Neru twice, then i did a 10 pull on track Mari and got her too? is it really a 3% chance to pull a 3*? am i the luckiest gamer?
>>1435593That's pretty lucky alright. Nero is a fairly solid damage dealer and Track Mari is a great healer.
>>1435610i want to pull more and ride my luck, but i also want to just live off of the good pulls start saving as much as i can. there's not any kind of pity or anything?
>>143562724,000 is the pity. I'd recommend grabbing as many pryos as you can seeing if you can pick up Track Yuuka. She's the best tank in the game.
>>1432222>>1432215Don’t reply to him that’s the bikinischizo that gets laughed out of every board and was even laughed out of /bag/
Is there a place that rates and explains characters and who you should get? I have a timed 10 draw ticket now, but I already have track Yuuka and want to know how long to wait with it.
>>1434539single pull feels incredibly dull and autistic compared to 10 for me at least, if you're having to pull one at a time you probably should be saving pyros>>1437060The game itself has a spreadsheet for rates already, as for recommendations, make use of the rentry, TYuuka is the only "important" girl from this bannerhttps://rentry.org/bagguideshttps://rentry.org/how2playba
is there any way to change servers after ive made my account? kinda dogshit that i didnt get to choose
>>1437350Sadly no. You're stuck on that server forever.
>>1437350your only choice is VPNing to the region of your choice at account creation
hnnng fuck i dont know who to spend my 3* choice ticket on
>>1439957Pick the girl you like the most.
>>1439957Either go for a meta choice like Himari or Ako, or pick your favorite.
>>1442210i got ako from her banner so i spent it on SWakamo because she made me download the game idc if she isnt meta anymore
here's to the monthly opening of the bunker
>>1444512whoops, wrong thread
slow ass game right now until they let me finish the damn story
>>1444794you can progress further than you're supposed to if you're autistically hyperoptimizing like me. ive gone to spark in my first 2 weeks of playing, and am almost leveled enough to beat the story boss youre probably stuck on. tldr; skill issue
>>1444794>slow ass gamethat's the charm.
>>1444794I also enjoy ass games. Especially when they're slow.
>>1445047Good for you retard, keep worshipping your spreadsheets and rerolling accounts>>1445055>>1445087Slow for the wrong reasons at the moment, wish they would've made it crystal clear that you should've been doing the 4 gorgillion options of side entry content alongside the story instead of slapping people in the face with cringe lvl gates. It all feels disjunct suddenly playing sweep archive for 3 weeks, release me from this hell so i can experience kino and put the game down
>>1445123on my first account, the game isnt hard, youre just bad :3 calling someone else a retard when you downloaded a gacha game and are surprised its a gacha game is another level of cope
>>1445123I don't really mind the level gate. There's really just the one and a bit of one on Volume F. Without that people could just view the entire story without ever pulling on the gacha or even playing the game at all, since the story chapters give you characters. They added the gates to force people to play, but at the same time those gates are pretty low (like around level 40) that it's not bad. >>1445132If you want to be a dick, go over to /bag/.
>>1445123Oh yeah the level cap kinda fucks you early on. Kinda ironic that those stages where you flash your credit card were supposed to make you look strong.
>>1445152>credit card were supposed to make you look stronglol, the way I see it, I simply had to go reload my credit card for a couple days
>>1445152They were. It was awesome for its time because it was the moment Sensei finally used his adult card and we stop being limited by story students and can put our max level 5/M/M/M UE50(Was that already a thing then?) students and absolutely crushed it.I always find it a shame that it's now known as some sort of story stopper newbie killer instead of what it used to be hyped up to be.
Pulled a .02 instead of the .7 kasumi. I…I guess?
/alg here. I find your anime okay, not great, but not bad either. So who did it better? BA or HIGHSPEED Étoile
>>1445434Does this one have nyagger and enty or is it just a promo art?
>>1445461This was just the ending card, they did show off some Yostar in the anime though.
>>1445434Honestly the first arc was the weakest overall. It wasn't terrible or anything, but it didn't start getting good until later towards the end. Hopefully when they hit Arc 2 and introduce Aris it'll really pick up.
>>1445434Isn't there just the first episode?
>>1445434>mahjong spirits girlis this slut supposed to be everywhere now?
>>1445677Yes it was the first Episode.
this bunny girls are tall ?
>>1445945Most likely it's a small table made for students rather than adults.
>>1446027a round of shrink poker can solve it
GOD BLESS IROHAtime to finish the story finally
>>1446168>Ako>T.Yuuka>IrohaHave fun steamrolling the game.
>>1446174I certainly picked a good time to start huh? been so stupidly lucky with my early pulls I think I should just save for spark at this point
How do you unbind the account? The support refused me rudely when I asked.
>>1388187This means there'll be a rerun for Mika right?
>>1446541Nah, they'll rerun s.hoshino but mika might be in the pool as well.And by "soon" he meant three months plus several weeks so there's no need to go apeshit on hoarding.
What should a new player buy in the train event?
>>1446861gifts>furniture>artifacts>tech notes=blu-rays>reports>secret tech notes
>>1446886Thank you. The game is great, one would never suspect it isn't made in Japan.
>>1446886adding onto this, sweeping 25x a day to get all the daily reward artifact select tickets as an early account is kind of broken if you can afford the ap sink into it yet
I heard legends about Hieronymus being some kind of impossible to beat soft paywall forcing players to either quit or cash up gatcha funds but stacking few decently trained explosive units with healing and shields made it kind of easy? Only Haruka died because my fat, crooked thumb missed the heal...
>>1447277you're well over the level people are usually complaining (around <40 but perfectly possible even then)
>>1447277>level 48Yeah, no wonder it was easy for you. Level 40 is all you need to get through it without too many problems. People with really good teams have cleared it at 35 or even 30. But most people who try to clear it in the 20's or 30's just get stomped and cry.
Together I spend like 5 10-rolls worth of pyroxene to get Ako and instead got this, Saki and something meh 3-Star i forgot.I'm fine with Saki but my urge to hate fuck the blue cowtits grew even more. I don't even like her personality ffs.I'm harassed by two blue haired women...
>>1446168this anon here, half way through vol f. WHY ARE THE SUSHI TEAM HERE AND WHY ARE THEY KINDA COOL
>>1452213That gif made me vomit.
>>1408419>never focus on pvpwhy? I usually sit around top 200 and can ocassionaly hit top 50. It's free daily 25 pyrox for zero effort and time, plus 90 coins for the shop. I'm not pure f2p because I spent a bit on release, but the rates are scam tier so I stopped giving them money.
>>1452253he probably means "don't focus on getting units who are specifically pvp viable"Granted, there aren't many so hypespecific these days. Like, SShiroko will help you in everything, not just pvp, as will the usual DPS girls and tanks
>>1447277Hiero is only hard if you skipped playing missions and went straight to story ergo, you don't understand the game yet and it just threw 2 different colors of enemies at you
What I really dislike about BA, is that a lot of hard stages are designed to be impossible to 100% in one run.
>>1452213Kaitengers are awesome. The true heroes of Kivotos.
>>1452253First of all, i wrote that advice for a beginner.Second, as >>1452298 mentioned, there are students that specifically build for short fights/pvp and nothing else. Also since you know that the rates are scam, then you should know not to heavily invest on such students unless you like them.Third, top 200 in your own bracket is barely what you could call "focusing".
>>1419410>>1420916Not that anon but Fire Emblem felt more organized than Blue Archive. Though to be fair, I started with FEH at launch. BA bombards you with a bazillion currencies and different items I had no idea what to do with. I gave up and just went through the story.It wasn't till a friend showed me about sweeping that you're supposed to do that to burn through your excess AP to level up and that's how your students level cap goes up.I had to look up how to restore AP on youtube and it wasn't till I clicked on some icon on the top right of the home screen that I found out I could get Nonomi and there were beginner quests.BA is bloated doesn't organize their information that well.
Also I fucking hate this ungrateful rabbit shitsquad. I can't stand the disrespect to them, why can't I let them STARVE?
>>1452697Okay, they're getting better as I've hit the climax of the volume.
>>1453553Rabbits end up getting some good character development. Not my favorite team but I like them.
>>1453644nta, but the one good thing about the rabbits is their theme, and it was co-opted by Aris anyway.
>>1419410>first gacha reaction greentextclassic. Yeah I originally came for the lore, story and cute girls as well. The characters have been great enough for me to push through the gacha bullshit despite how much I despite the egregious mechanics>>1452697Seriously, just keep going sensei, they'll come around. They always do
>>1452213>WHY ARE THE SUSHI TEAM HERE AND WHY ARE THEY KINDA COOLthey're a legitimate part of the story you have to read Aru's momotalk to see their origin
>>1454114One thing I found kinda strange about wolf god Shiroko is how everyone easily tells it's Shiroko when they barely look alike.
>>1397818where do you think we are?
>See a cool dude who knows best girl is the one who sticks with you from the start(and looks like herself in recollection lobby)>Decide to give him some free tactical coins for being such a cool dude>Fucker doesn't even deploy Suzy.>This happens.That's why you don't betray your waifu. Or she'll come from another dimension to beat your ass.
ok.
>>1462037>Sensei Sensei
>>1462212I was afraid of losing marks if I put down something wrong. Can I still graduate?
>>1419410yeah the currencies and resources are pretty overwhelming. without bag guide I would never want to deal with those
What a bangin' body. 6 months. Just gotta wait 6 months.https://twitter.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1786954329762783733
>>1465106They release her after the tourist event is over?
>>1395277Ah yes, Hanako, the biggest horndog in the game. Also am I the only one to think none of the Prefect Team's member have normal interaction with Sensei? Chinatsu have a huge crush on us, Iori with her L2D and the feet stuff, Ako and the pet play, Hina literally turn into the biggest girlfailure the moment we show up.
>>1395277>Holy fucking shit what were these guys smoking designing her?considering everything else in the game, they would've been more like to have been jerkin it than smoking, they knew what they were doing kekTry to get her swimsuit alt the next time the banner comes around, her interactions are even better there, seasoned like fine wine after her character growth. I don't know if I want to dick her down or tease and comfort her>>1466660>Also am I the only one to think none of the Prefect Team's member have normal interaction with Sensei?nah, that's kind of the point lol. Normalcy is a rarity in Gehenna, Hina's the closest to having decent interactions and those all consist of her fumbling and tripping over herself from you just existing
This is now a Red Winter thread.
>>1362932>censored archiveNo thanks
>>1468062Thank you Cherino for helping me with Chesed.
wtf, an anon told me on /v/ that this place was a hotbed for cute agp anonswhat gives?
>>1468369What got censored?
>>1471223Early release had an Aris scene censored but the devs scrapped it after crticism. There's been nothing else like it ever since and these faggots are living in the past.
>>1362932i dont care about it
>>1471223The fight cutscene
Is serika a good filler if I lack single target units? Or should I keep my akari with maxed EX?
>>1477151Serika is pretty solid and has some use on fights where you want an auto-attacker.
>>1477253Now that I look at the logs she's pretty strong. Almost as strong as my Aru
>>1477269Logs are kinda useless for her since she hits dead bodies pretty often...
>>1477388I'd give Serika my log...
>>1421995>tsurugiis she like standard in a starter set? i got her too
>>1479480Yeah. The starter pull has 10 characters and Tsurugi is one of them.
New story was fun but it's a shame you couldn't use Nagusa.
>>1482198That's okay, I used Shuro for fap material.
Gonna blog post since the thread is dead anyway. I'm >>1421995, and my opinion on these girls now is:Aru is great and a cute dorkTsurugi is a capable tank and I really like her interactionsNeru grew on me, but she's meh as a unit, melts way too quicklySumire is ok when you need a piercing filler unitShun and Hasumi are sexNonomi is the GOAT piercer, love the TF2 heavy vibe from her.Red Yuuka is unfortunately just worse than blue Yuuka.Chinatsu is probably far from the best healer but she works for me.
>>1482392You should use Serena. She's the best low star healer. Hanako is really good too.
>>1482661I use Serina when I need a low cost healer for a secondary team. used her during the latest drill with the avant-garde defense. I use Hanako, but she suffers somewhat from a high cost and non immediate heal
>>1482669Hanako gets better when you get her unique item maxed out.
>>1477530please don't shit on your students sensei
>>1482872kek
Been playing this for about a month now. Are the pull rates in this game shit or am I just unlucky?
>>1484534yeah.
>>1484534Yeah, they're shit. Never pull unless you can spark.
Sorry about an extremely stupid question but can you start playing on a phone and then move to an emulator with the same account? I'd like to play the game for longer periods but my phone's battery drains like a fucker when I play this. So I figured I should start playing on bluestacks or something instead.
>>1485642you can
>>1484534The SSR pull rates are pretty good compared to most other gachas, but the character-specific SSR pull rates are not great. Meaning, you often will have to keep playing and hoarding 24k pyrox to guarantee a character via the pity system.Also the pyrox are pretty expensive to buy. Meaning that you'll want to play regularly and be picky about who you roll for, to ensure maximum F2P friendliness. The game does hand out decent amount of pyrox over time to active players though. It's the casual inactive players who suddenly want specific characters that suffer the most.
>>1484534Yep, but since you're new you have a lot of one time pyroxenes, especially the daily events which gives 1200 pyroxenes, on reddit there's a list of one time pyroxenes list you can look up plus it also has momotalk rewarda
Well, that sucked. Had to spark Neru and spark Karin and I only got 1 other purple (dupe Hoshino) in the process.
How relevant are the special stat boosts for PvP? I switched from 4* sAyane to 3* sMiyu who is 20 levels below parity and have had success througg having a red DPS. Really, it feels like I level sMiyu for sMiyu, not my party. Is there a breakpoint here?Also, THEORETICALLY, if I UE30'd CHare, could I go solotank and try to murdervaporize teams? If so, who would be the best solo tank? I may not be max level yet, but I will have my students live gloriously in plat!
>>1496263it doesn't make much of a difference except for ultra end game raids or pvp
I asked in a /v/ thread but it died before I saw if I got an answer.Relatively new to the game, I have about 24k pyros right now, should I use them or wait for dress Hina? Since apparently she is very good.
>>1500203she is since she's an anniversary student which are all meta. you'll be bricking yourself if you miss out rolling on any of them
>>1500203She is good and her banner has a rate-up for 3* students so just wait.
>>1500203learn to foresight >>1406230 and plan it yourself.
>>1500203Dress Hina is going to be appearing in a Blue Fest banner. We get these once every six months. Blue Fest banners have double the usual chance to pull a 3* student. As a new player you should go all in on those banners.
disregard meta, acquire cute retards
>>1501001Already did
>>1501001my faves are meta by pure chance :>
Suzumi alt when
I was thinking of building a unit with characters that deal bonus damage to stunned/taunted enemies. Any tips?>>1502352I love Suzumi.... ..
Key banner soon, trust me.
sup bros
Waiting for anniversary is kinda boring.
>Can do Yellow INS with 7 teams>Blue has 2M hp left when I run out of HP>Red can't even reach phase 2 in 1TIs this enough to plat? Can I finally be a big boy sensei?
>>1518450I wish you good luck.
>>1362932i only enjoy these games for the cute cunnies
>had to mald a little to get 3* on a hard missionlack of resources to build students is a pain
>>1519211They should nuke jfd and remove shard as crafting requirement, that shit is fucking tedious.
>>1519684>Told my wife that I like Nonomi because she is cute and reminds me of her.>She says that everyone online claims that she is mid.Is she? Did I brick by trying to rank her equipment up?
>>1519698There are no mid students. Only mid senseis.
>>1519698She is great when you need a yellow aoe damage dealer.Unfortunately, there is little content in the game that need that, so her niche is limited, and she competes with plenty other students for it.
Can confirm. This shit runs really well on the Pi.
>>1520884You've piqued my interest- I'm imagining this was just a simple pi setup in something akin to a traditional desktop environment? Because I could certainly see this being an excuse to build a little gaming pi for things like BA.
>claims hina as her rival>has sweet and affectionate feeling towards ibuki think they're the same, welcome king
Do I keep rolling or do I save 180 rolls?
>>1528241I also got her on my second ten pull. I decided to stop there, there's too many other characters coming up that I need.
>>1370301Cunny Archive is mobilegame
>>1528241i had to exchange fuck the rate up in this kusoge but if i were you, i'd save.
>>1528241I got her in 40 myself and i'm saving.
I have a question but is it really better to just random 10 rolls to try and find a good luck/seed, or is just 1 rolling on and off a bit better? Trying to maximize the chance of getting dress Hina currently.
197 PULLS! FUCK YOU NEXON!I'll pull 3 more times just to get more Eleph.Hina is the reason I didn't kms yet
>>1528785The rates aren't going to change regardless of what superstitions you believe in.
luck is a skill.and all I have is a skill issue.
>>1447277you're not even beating insane why do you think you get an opinion?i don't think he's that bad though he just filters people for having no healers
Still someone new and got Dress Hina. Do I dump my eligma into her?
>>1362932i read a hoshino doujin, then i decided to download the game and got hoshino as my first 3*
>>1534144It was meant to be.
>>1533041If you're having trouble clearing content and need to boost her power then go for it.
>cunny pulls up to me>looks like this>gets impregnated by medon't give me the shocked pikachu face mob-chan, you should've expected it
What Eimi's sub skill is this? Can use in some mission or event?
>>1520884Didn't know it can run BA on Pi... How to run it?
"Scarecrow, smile"
>>1534144Good! Now you can farm her Eleph in those mission such as 7-3 H and 11-3 H.
Hello, BAfans! Can you hack this guy in discord: his ID is wlldsake. This stupid redditor banned me on his server when I posted cunny joke. He called me a weirdo and banned me! I will be glad if you will fill his server (adress of server in discord is "YrA8SGkyuA") with cunny and then delete it! I BEG YOU, HELP ME
>>1538066Sent ;^)
>>1537294It doesn’t really affect anything. CC chance might come up in PVP, but it’s not worth investing in.
>>1362932What is the next must-have unit? I have enough for a spark but I don't think the next banner has anyone good.
>>1538827No clue about D.Aru or Kayoko but NY. Fuuka is getting a rerun after them.
>>1538827N.Y. Akari is said to be good, valks summer are ehh, nuHoshi and shiroko terror are probably good idk.
>>1538688Can use her SS in Kaiten raid boss (Phase 1)?
>>1538827You have NY Fuuka and NY Haruna yet?
>>1538863> D. Aru such a Ako on foot> D. Kayoko... someone said she can do high damage and always cri if she doesn't taken damageHowever if you're not TM player or like her, should skip.
>>1538890> Ny Akari for Blue Seth> Valkyries summer... Kanna for who want to decease def in Binah TM but other need to investigate> Hoshino Battle & Shiroko terror are good as previous fest banner so they're great to pull
>>1538926>Ako on footBut we just got ako on foot...
>>1538923>>1538863I see, someone in the /v/ thread said to get fuuka. Thanks.
>>1538920Only theoretically. Millennium tech notes are in high demand, so they're better spent on other students.It's better to just cancel Kaitenger Red's taunt with your own crowd control, since it hits your entire team and Eimi's sub skill only slightly lowers her own taunt chance while she's under 50% HP. Not really worth considering.
I just learned that Nexon has ESG on their official websiteHow do I know about it? I just dig deeper within the company (because I was fucking bored) and found the page in question regarding "ESG" and "inclusivity"https://csr.nexon.co.jp/en/esg_disclosure/While the main branch (and others) are probably unchanged with ESG stuff (don't quote on me since I have no clue about the countries' social issue they operate), it's only affected NA branch, where woke translators purposely fuck up the English localization whenever there's a romance/perverted scene/dialogue.Expect to have some intentional mistranslations next week when new events and students comes in the global.
I'm ready to dryness :Skull:
>>1539686wrong thread saar
>>1539695So what thread should be in?
>>1539291I doubt Nexon actually cares, most companies doing this shit just want to get paid by ESG/DEI groups like Blackrock.
>global officially entering alt hellfugg
I'm tempted to reinstall this game. Please convince me whether I should or n't.
>>1540804What happened?
>>1540804It's entering a long drought period but there's no harm in doing dailies.
>>1540804Why do you even want to come back?Anyways, the aforementioned drought has been getting to me but afaik it's mostly for the newfags from F/3rd anni to catch up with all the reruns and stuff. It shouldn't be a bad time if those are the events you missed.
>>1540804Okay BA has more QoL rn. You should enjoy this game whenever you play.
>>1540804Minimal time investment for dailies and trash ranked rewards makes this one of the comfiest gachas to play, and by "play" I mean clicking the sweep button.
>>1541973Too much menu to slide around kinda burn me out thoughver. I wish they could compact more menus because i can't be assed to remember which stage drops more boots.
>>1541982jp just got a qol feature that streamlines mission farming
Convince me of not reinstalling this.I deleted it because the game just wasn't fun anymore, but I really like the rest that isn't gachashit.Is there a way to keep track of the upcoming events and know what girls will be on the future/now? The fun in these games is getting all the girls imo but I doubt that is possible by normal means (ie: not putting dough)
>>1542803>story hasn't gone anywhere>alts galore>og devs left the teamIf it's not for chise's hanging tits welcoming me every login session then i'd have quitted as well.
>>1542803>Is there a way to keep track of the upcoming events and know what girls will be on the future/now? You know the future just by looking at JP. They are 6 months ahead of us after all. Not really sure if there's anyone maintaining any particular "what should happen in the future" spreadsheets.But I just compare the global+JP banner/event histories on the wiki to see what should be happening soon:https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Recruitment_(Gacha)https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Events>The fun in these games is getting all the girls imo but I doubt that is possible by normal means (ie: not putting dough)That's not happening unless you put in dough, yeah. It's not that kinda gacha.>Convince me of not reinstalling this.Speaking from personal opinion.It's been a fairly boring ride with rare ups ever since volume F. Like the devs have no idea where to go and have been stalling for time while pushing out more uninspired events and main story chapters than not. Did the popularity get to them and they think they can get away with lacklustre content because the newfags wouldn't know any better? Are things finally coming to a head between the shared development of Nexon+Yostar and the increased popularity has them fighting for slices of the pie? I... don't really know, I don't really want to care. I'm just here to have a good time with my students and I've not been getting that for a while. JPniggers keep promising how FUCKING KINO V1C3 is despite the absolutely horrifying looking schedule of a content drip and I've been apprehensive to even dare to begin to read the prologue and hope.Or maybe the game just isn't for me anymore. hard to say, there are some who say the content has barely changed. So the novelty from having fun with a unique, unchanging setting is lost after 3 years with it.Regardless, sunk cost is a bitch so I'm sticking with it due to its (still) thankfully light dailies.
>>1542803If you quit during 2023 then IMO the state of the game is much worse than then. Like other anons said future banners are full of alts. I'm not saying having alts is a bad thing especially for those who haven't had one yet, but back then they always balance this with releasing new characters too. So now we have truckload of NPCs who players are excited about but probably playable in 2 years the earliest.Story wise I'll be honest Volume 4 Chapter 2 was so bad it kinda killed my excitement for reading the main story, so I can't tell how good it was past that. Event stories are mixed, still has decent stuff now and then.I'm still playing it cause sunk cost, and I don't play any other gacha so this is the only "daily job" game I have.Just don't reinstall this.
>>1544829>Volume 4 Chapter 2 was so badI liked it.
>>1544921I thought the setup of the story was fine but then the main conflict felt like a wet fartSome of my biggest gripes>Rabbits joining Foxes led to basically nothing. You'd think at some point Sensei and/or Miyako had to fight the Rabbits and had to convince them to get back to their side, but they all just join back and all is fine and dandy>Niko giving the location of the camp to Sensei basically letting him talk no jutsu Miyako back and Yukino letting Miyako go from the camp even when she had a clear intention of meddling with the operation are either completely on purpose 4D chess move as Foxes intended to fail the operation, or just plain stupidity, I have no idea>As funny as Kaya being incompetent is, nuking a town seems a bit too much, really felt like they raised the stakes so high just to make the story grander and more important than it actually is.>Foxes are complete jobbers. At no point they become a danger that actually threaten the main characters.And I actually liked Chapter 1. I thought the small scale of it was a nice change of pace from the big war story of Volume 3 and Rabbits' development from start to the end is quite enjoyable.
>>1544930The story starts showing its flaws whenever they tried to get serious.My reaction to chapter 2 onwards in order was>Wait, they have ancient civilization???>Wait, the students grow???>Wait, we(sensei) somehow made the right choice everytime despite having zero knowledge from the previous iteration???I wouldn't be asking questions if they stick with cgdct because i think it's what they do best.
>>1545074>The story starts showing its flaws whenever they tried to get serious.>I wouldn't be asking questions if they stick with cgdct because i think it's what they do best.I don't know about that, people suck Final Volume's cock real hard and think it's the peak of BA. Personally while I thought it was good, I still prefer Vol 3 Chp 3 way more.
>>1545074cgdct is the real peak archive and filter.
>>1545078I kept wishing that there's a moment where sensei recalls or realizes something might go wrong if we didn't search for serika/help aris/let the gorilla run rampant while reading it since those are the crucial parts where we neglected our responsibility, but what i got is just the naive "muh responsibility" and somehow everything is magically solved.In short, i feel like they didn't play the foreshadowing part we got in the intro right or just kinda forget about it until the very end.I'll wait until vol f 2.0 drops before i start to read again but with all the rumored disputes among their devs, i don't have high hopes.>>1545101Sadly that's not what people after because the game only got popular after they introduced some edgy shit.
For me, it's V3C1/2.Bit of a meme term but I like it the most because of how "organic" it is in building the team together. V1/2/4/5 all fall into a pitfall of expecting me to care about a group and their students just because they are cute girls with cute quirks. Admittedly, they are expecting that because (You) are Sensei. Even though Sensei's existence is guided by a single "always stand by students" rule that flip-flops hard depending on characterization and context that it feels like he plays favourites while shutting down students emotions that don't follow his viewpoint. But I digress.V3C1 did it all, a reasonable excuse to put a rag-tag group of students together, those 4 students and their initial chemistry, how their initial social shells bounce off each other, how they treat their shared goal, how they slowly warm up to each other and ease into a comfortable and familiar social dynamic, how, with gusto, they now work hard together towards a shared goal...It all melds together into a very enthralling narrative that sticks to my mind all this time. And that's despite the fact that V3's group is outwardly the least interesting at first glance among all volumes (to me).>CGDCTthat would be nice, not sure if they count but my favorite events are still the ASS Reisa event and the Red Winter Library event. They both aren't perfect, but I really like how focused they are on character relationships and interactions. and don't rely on cop-out unfunny haha explosion punchline status quo endings BECAUSE the events are all about refinding a status quo disrupted by reunion or a mistake.
>>1545155I'm this >>1545078 anon and I understand. What makes vol 3 chp 3 so good to me was because they spent a lot of time establishing make up club's relationship and the politics of trinity. And even if I'm a bit neutral about Mika I think her talk with Sensei beside the pool was one of the best moment of the whole story, so much setting up for everything that's gonna happen in the future. I admit, without such a fleshed out interactions and details from chapter 1 and 2, chapter 3 won't even close to hit as hard as it was for me.>that would be nice, not sure if they count but my favorite events are still the ASS Reisa event and the Red Winter Library event. Those are actually good choices, RW Library also surprised me with how fun it was. On the other side events that I hyped for recently Train event actually really disappointed me.By the way my favorite events are Trinity Librarian event (which has a very disappointing part 2) and Shanhaijing triad event (which the part 2 seemingly shaping to also be a disappointment)
>>1545202>TrainHow so? I'm curious about your thoughts. I admit I don't really think much of it but I thought it was serviceable. Kasumi was charismatic, Ichika was endearing, Highlander and the Gang Alliance was introduced.Though if I were to make a cynical and blunt guess about it, it does feel like one of the more "banner selling" stories. Kasumi bent the whole narrative around herself and while there was foreshadowing from RW Onsen about how capable she was, this all came out as a very "look how awesome she is, please roll her now!" story. Ichika felt fairly classic as the "closed eyes, hidden feelings" character but was mostly there, together with Iori for Kasumi to bounce off on, but the interactions don't really feel that interesting other than Kasumi going "Eh heh look how secretly deep and awesome and cuhrazy and random (but smart!) I am!". Oh and sensei wringing his hands I guess.>Trinity LibrarianIt's a comfy one. Was nice to see Hinata interact with all the students that Sensei knows and inversely finding out more about Sensei in a way. Great excuse to have more interactions with Trinity students that Sensei doesn't have the reason to really meet in V3 too.>Disappointing Part 2Ah yeah, that's... 2.5 right? I think I get it, it doesn't really know what it wants to be as a story. It's supposed to be an excuse to get a summer holiday under the guise of ruins investigation but every chapter was too focused on nothing burger one to one interactions with sensei that... doesn't even amount to anything, all this is stuff we have already covered in momotalks. They don't even do any beach activities together. The investigation also wasn't that interesting beyond making vague nothing conclusions I can't even remember what they even found out beyond lemons and secret diaries they decided to let lie.>Shanhaijing Triad Part 2 shaping up to be a disappointment.Isn't that JP stuff? Are you reading it already?
this is tamer than i expected

>>1540804There aren't many worthwhile new banners coming up for a few months so it could be a good time to save up pyrox or spend on reruns for meta students you're missing.

>>1544930My biggest problem with that chapter was the overall premise just doesn't work. The SRT students are missionaries and are incredibly prideful of the principles of the school. They didn't do anything to make a convincing case for the Fox Squad to abandon the principles for the sake of reviving the school. Kaya wanted the Fox Squad to use the very nuke they secured to keep the peace in Kivotos, one of their biggest accomplishments, to blow up the city. People's desire to restart a school can't be that strong that they'd trample all over what principles and accomplishments it brought forth. And they never established why it was so important to bring back that school as opposed to starting a new one. But the Fox being jobbers, this was explained a bit. It was a combination of being overly arrogant and wanting to show off in front of their underclassmen on top of wanting them to beat them.
>>1587079>The SRT students are missionaries and are incredibly prideful of the principles of the schoolThe bunnies are, it is never implied the foxes are too. They just want the school back because that was the only place they saw themselves belong to.

>>1586779He died.
>>1587251Sooner than you think.
>>1587160I made the assumption that all SRT students would be missionaries, I'll admit. That's just fucked up that the SRT students who have the accomplishments that inspired the next wave of students to join wouldn't want to uphold the values.
