>two more weeks until new contentI really want to know what we'll be getting for the next couple months. Are the first set of swimsuits in late June?
>>1467011Miyako(sex) was June 21 so probably
>>1467011Hopefully finally a story update in mid-June.
>>1467014>Miyako(sex)
What is this new thing
>>1467027An option to let you clear and 3-star a stage without doing the puzzle stuff. IIRC there are two caveats, you don't complete the separate achievement mission for "clearing under X turns" unless you do the regular version with the puzzle, and you can't pick up the extra gem pack on the map. But the regular rewards are the same and 3-starring the boss only lets you sweep the stage so it's great QoL if you're in a hurry and just want the basic rewards when a new stage comes out, you can do the quick clear and sweep and then later on at your own pace follow a guide on the puzzle for the one-time achievements.
when i started i wasted a lot of stamina on low level maps because i didn't feel like doing the puzzle stuff for like 50 stages so it's def a good update

>>1467255>ShunFinally I'll become the pvp cancer I was always meant to be
>>1467255>kokonauh oh, another year another skip because i need to save crystal for 1.5 anniv
>>1467255would they really rerun that event without reijo though, might be same as kirara i guess, milk her in a separate banner
>>1467255Good thing I have every single one of those students
>>1467255already have kokona and the other three are hags so i'm good
Happy birthday Mika
i wonder how big are the pvp brackets, i got in pretty late yesterday so didn't rush to rank 1, seeing a lot of bots even at the 500 range
Should be 800 people in top level brackets. We'll see latecomers filter up over the week, not everyone refreshes for the reset rush
>>1467255No reijo?
>no Reijo on rerun>there is a chance that Meru's event rerun won't have TakaneNOOO DON'T DO THIS TO ME NEXON
>rush to 1st place after maint>expect to be #100 or a lower rank by the next day>only fell to #31I heard some people who regularly get into top 10 don't bother refreshing a lot because they know they'll get to the top anyway so I guess I'll get pushed into the lower ranks in the next few days.
comfy JFD
>>1467370Lower ranks might also be a clusterfuck since the season is so different
I’m starting to find players in my bracket climb. How do I build for this season?
>>1467327that's just how low levels are
What are the odds they have something big lined up for the second half of the month? Because so far May is looking pretty dead.
>>1468064The band event takes place a week before the Trinity Carnival so I assume we're getting an event about that soon.
>>1468101I hope you're right, and that it delivers.Who would we even get for it? Don't tell me it's Seia.
>>1468113Possible hints we have so far are idol alts for Fubuki Kirino and Mari, theater alts for Tsurugi and Ichika, and maybe gondolier/undine alts. I do hope Seia is involved and rollable though, would be cool to see her in charge of organizing the event while Nagisa is focused on her fancy art gallery.
>>1468123I kinda hope it's not the Valkyrie girls because those idol outfits aren't doing it for me. I doubt Tsurugi of all characters is getting a second alt either.
I did not feel a desire to roll for a single new banner since the last anniI've become jaded
when are they adding michiru's elephs in the expert permit shop?
How high can this get? Borrowing a UE40 5/7/7/7 Boshimi. Just did 49 without a proper TL and with Hina missing the red orb multiple times(why is this a thing)
>>1468295She should be in there starting in June.
>>1468297Move D.Ako and Kokona to the right side of the formation screen, because the characters next to the left pillar get a huge damage debuff.
>>1468297I'd do Hanako (bond 20 gear) instead of Serina to lower the chance of dying for small damage loss
>>1467935sHanako Shun Yuuka Marina sAyane sShiroko should be strong enough
>>1468414Thanks
>get attacked even though there's still plenty of bots aroundfucking hellany suggestions for a pvp team with my pityful box? assuming I can raise level and skills but not stars
>>1468424yuuka, eimi, shanako, mika, iroha, utahai'm not sure of the meta for positioning yet, so just 1 tank on each left/right end i guess
>>1468433thanksis it worth raising nagisa or minori instead?
>>1468456wait for the meta to settle first
>>1468123Don't forget the hidden Sakurako.>>1468297You can probably do 99 with enough practice, just need to replace Serina+Nagisa with another combination like S.Shiroko(or Himari for cope) and Hanako or Kaede. The hardest part will be keeping Kazusa and Yoshimi alive rather than the damage requirement. If they can't be kept alive with what you got then you should try to finish at a breakpoint to get books like 97, 96 (for all attack books), 87, 86 etc.
>>1468608I don't have Shiroko or KaedeI do have Yoshimi but I'm not gonna spend elephs on her to borrow something else. (I also don't have enough trinity mats to raise both her and Hanako this month)
>>1468672Then go with Himari Hanako. That's what the or means.

Her 5head looks even bigger in the anime somehow
>>1470550>Huge head in game>Long head in the anime.
THIS PVP SEASON IS SHIT
>>1470573I'm enjoying my top 10 daily rewards at least
I had a goddamn nightmare that Kazusa (Band) is going to be a better buffer than Hare (Camp) for the raid.
>>1469116Kiriha is the Enviosity of Blue Archive from my own perspective Dude was able to visit Yostar JP's office and met the CEO. How would you fucking react if he brags that he's going to be the only motherfucker to ever been praised by the wider community?The only thing I'll agree from his view is Azusa isn't flat. Period.
>>1470590Same but replace top 10 with top 500
>>1466993>Band event Shameful.
>>1470590>>1470617meanwhile my life is pain as I fall to 160~200 and climb to 60~99 every day

>>1470573Ez pickings, got all the cancerous, retard AI-proof meta setups to always force 50/50s within top ten while gatekeeping everyone else.
Sengaikyou or Shanghaijing? Is the whole city Sengaikyou and the school Shanghaijing? Are they interchangable and the jp name is flavor like the madeup names in three kingdoms?
>>1470987It's just different readings of the same kanji in Japanese and Chinese respectively.Having heard the voiceclips in the game I'd say the Japanese reading is the primary one.Then again in the swimsuit anime short, they used the actual kanji reading of Pandemonium Society「万魔殿」"Manmaden" instead of what the characters actually say in the game, since then they seem to consistently stick with the regular name though.
>>1471009Funny since I'd read it as Banmaden. But seriously, the school emblem has Shanghaijin written on it in romaji in the jp version.
>>1471009>Then again in the swimsuit anime short, they used the actual kanji reading of Pandemonium Society「万魔殿」"Manmaden"This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXVco22ZCw8I watched it and didn't hear it.
There's no way farming reports from the event shop is worth it with 80% drop increase, right? My brainlet math says factory M is on average way better.
confirmed to have no reijo then
what campaign comes next?
>>1471630Hardhttps://twitter.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1789853448885895389
To roll or to remain a shunlet, that's the question
>>1470987You know how when you attempt to say "Shanghaijing" with your white mouth, what comes out is nowhere close to how a Chinese native would say it?Sengaikyou is the Japanese version of that.
>>1471802Wtf no it's not. シャンハイジン, Shanhaijin would be that.
>>1471830okay to be perfectly correct you have to add 1000 years of mutation through continued adaptation of mispronunciation
>>1471830As a general rule, Asians suck at pronouncing each others' names and Europeans suck at pronouncing each others' names because of all of the cultural osmosis resulting in everything having a certain slightly differently version of neighboring country names. It's easy to laugh at Japanese pronunciations of Chinese names but if you compare it to how English speakers mispronounce Georg from Germany and Ivan from Russia it becomes more easily understandable.
we've had some older events that were rerun last year go permanent but i'm pretty sure this is the first real rerun for 2nd anni players. feels good to be caught up except i still haven't read bunny chaser or valentines because we've had no downtime to waste stamina on them
2024 is a good year, i'm not kokonalet and ny.fuukalet anymore
i don't care about pvp but still see shun used in other stuff, should i roll? i got 3 sparks
>>1472158Nyo
>>1472158Yes
>>1471983Also all the Latin and Greek roots completely changed how they sound in English words
Do you think the next event will be the Trinity Festival, or something related to Shanghaijing?
>>1472235Double chink? No I don't think so.
new sorting for daikessen is neat
how do I stop this from happening? no matter who I put on position 2 and 3 they both move here
>>1472235Trinity festival -> Summer Arius -> Summer C&C
Check this out. Current rank 9's yellow clear.Anyone have Miyu? I'd like to try it. Replacing Miyu with Kazusa does net a 1T, but for me not as high a score.
>>1472330>Summer C&CSurely notI'd rather take the gamers again
Will torment hiero be enough for plat or will it be like when it was red hiero with 30k+ torment clears?
>>1472496Should be enough, red might as well have been an insane but this still feels like a torment.
What's the formation plan for the current PvP season? Seeing some people try 1 tank/3 backline but I keep getting a back unit running up to steal the cover from Yuuka and dying instantly like in >>1472299I thought the AI used a sort of "first come first served" priority with whoever has the cover enter their range first, but even when I put Yuuka in one of the middle two slots (so she should approach the middle cover first) sometimes she just stands aside and lets someone else take the cover and aggro
Team C.Utaha, O.Chinatsu, Arisu, D.Ako, Serina, NagisaHiero insane (blue)Bugs out audio that most of the voice lines are cut off. Does it on both mobile and emulator consistently. Can anyone else try?
When are we getting news for the next event? Friday?
what is the last event with 5 challenge quest?
>>1472720I *think* it was the one just before Trinity Summer 2. I have a pretty strong memory of doing the ex challenge from that as the first ex challenge.
>>1472727That would be SRT Summer, and yeah it does have 5 challenge quests
>>1472507I win damn near every defense and lose damn near every attack.It's all SHanako coinflips. For attack I often switch out Atsuko for Hoshino and Utaha for Mashiro. It doesn't seem like it really matters, it's just trying to survive and use SHanako first.
>>1472445No UE50 Miyu has manifested, so I just used my own (UE30 5M99 with bond gear T2). SShiroko use made survival a bit too difficult, imo, so I tried out OShigure instead to significantly better results. I was also a little sloppy with SHoshino timing so damage wasn't absolutely optimal. Still, this is a solid comp and I can see why it was rank 9 on the first day (27,607,104 points on yellow with a UE50 Miyu)
>>1472765looks likes someone used it to an even better score since the last time I saw itIt does certainly make mincemeat of Yellow Greg
https://twitter.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1790940460711805088the first part is confusing. do i have to unlink my current email from the old Yostar ID first before linking to the new one? isn't that kinda risky for your game account?
>>1472770oh, nevermind. i had assumed the Yostar ID:A, ID:B thing was referring to the old and new Yostar IDs
>>1472774Is it just basically like, "if you're linked to yostar already with an email, you can smoothly transition to a yostar ID"?Well, regardless just in case I'm saving all my account information
>>1472770How about salted email ?
>gamer rerunThis would make sense if Akira is part of the Trinity festival but we just had Band limiteds so I can't see Akira any time soon.Dunno what to expect now
>>1472929Why would Akira not be a possibility for 3.5?
>>14729323.5 isn't soon, it's over two months out.
>>1472942It's the soonest limited.
>2 event reruns in a row>possibly with no new studentsthe fuck they doing
I'm hoping the gamer rerun is 2 weeks so I can comfortably get mYuzu to UE50
>>1472943...yes and I was talking about how we just had limiteds so it'll be a while before the next.
>>1472953Same.
first ever torment clearnow I just gotta do it with a real ticket
>>1472929If it's another rerun without a new student I'm gonna kill myself
>New rerun character, there's a chance this will be not-limitedIf this isn't Akira, I'll skip this event banners, again.
>>1472746This season just seems really biased towards defence, they can go 1 tank 3 dps and there's a perfect cover for all of them but trying to do the same on attack always leads to them directly getting shot or killing themselves on a closer cover.
>>1472746for me it's the opposite, I keep winning pvp atk and def
>>1473020how many parties?
did Torment. It's...okay? Kind of fucking annoying because honestly, the worst part for me is "cleanup"/the last team. It's a slog of 25 or 17 bars of health left.
>>1473106Three teams4* nyKayokoUE30 sHoshUE30 KokonaUE50 Wakamo (borrow)3* HimariUE30 sShizuko19.7m hp left3* cHare4* tMariUE40 WakamoUE30 tYuuka3* nyFuukaUE30 sShiroko3.3m hp leftUE40 sIzuna3* cUtahaUE30 nyMutsukiUE40 YuukaUE40 Serina4* oShigure
OK, did it for real instead of this >>1473109 (which was mock)Almost lost my ticket to "man, Izuna really is not who you should bring to this". She actually can survive pretty well for the most part despite the bad armor type, but she has this fucking extremely bad habit of moving ahead of tanks for cover. A classic Izuna issue. She will move right back into cover even if you send her away using her ex. Also I had a fair share of bad luck curses. Got lucky with my last team since groggy and super were roughly lined up. I was able to cancel the 1HP attack with Haruna without issue.I'll do a thing explaining the ins and outs tomorrow. It's a 3T thoughBasic things:T1NYKayoko / SHoshino / Wakamo / Kokona + SShizuko / HimariStart: Kokona > 9 > Wakamo > SHoshino > Kokona (when the lantern isn't debuffed) > 9.5 > Wakamo > Himari > NYKayokoT2Izuna / Wakamo / SPYuuka / Koharu + OShigure / SShirokoStart: Koharu (don't interrupt her normal) > SShiroko (lantern) > 7 > Wakamo > OShigureThe basic idea is "only use SPYuuka after the 1HP attack is used". You can use it earlier but without using it everyone will be fine.T3Cherino / Koyuki / Atsuko / Haruna + Hanae / AyaneStart: Ayane (lantern) > Koyuki (other lantern (reset if it isn't destroyed in one hit--my Koyuki is UE40 btw)) > Hanae (lantern) > AtsukoThe idea is abuse the green lantern with heals and try to keep everyone alive. It's fine if Cherino dies though. Atsuko WILL at some point run away from the rest of the team and become nearly useless (she can only heal herself, the lantern if it's still around, and Haruna). Ideally she stays put for most of the fight.
Miyu strat is dead, it's the 15th best yellow now.
>>1473020>>1473111I've failed two tickets so farNeed to practice the second group more
>three reruns in a rowI'm guessing (hoping) they have something big in store for the tail end of the month, but the wait is killing me
>dropped to 25 on pvpcomfy top 10 days are over
Torment Hiero Urban Blue breakdown3Tnot horrible... Maybe I'd rank this Torment as "middle difficulty". It's got some highly frustrating factors especially if you use Izuna. Do note that SSizuno is also frustrating--I have both foxdaughterwives maxed out but SSizuna likes to run up to the front even more than Izuna, and unlike Izuna you can't even attempt to move her out of the way. Sure, she has blue armor, but it doesn't help that much.Worst team is still the 3rd one, though the 2nd can be annoying if shit just goes wrong (especially after you've used SPYuuka and if Izuna decides now's the time to play at being a tank)
It's been so long since I've done one of these I forgot I needed to bring a healer or at least a tank on each team.
>>1473716lol
>>1469281>>1469570>scrolling through leaderboard>1 (Uno) high bond mika using her on yellow>most of the 100 bond guys still doing kazusa teams
Can this team clear f97?
>>1474267Your healing will probably be too slow.
>>1474251>>1 (Uno) high bond mika using her on yellowcan you show the team? Mika is on the front and it's quite hard to keep alive while healing lantern as fast as you can
>>1474287Depends on your tank. With Hoshino she ran forward but Tsubaki managed to keep aggro.

>>1475144thanks, I'll apply around this time or maybe a bit later tomorrowID is ALFEZPJS
Nexon please give us a main story update next month I'm on my knees begging
There's still one more day for grand raid right
that's 74maybe i can do 77 if i level hanako's non-normal skills and actually use her ability but 99 seems impossiblepeople hate on set but i like it. it's way more fun doing my ganbarimasu without having to worry about my ranking relative to other players>>1476001yes
i will however immediately hate it when borrowing momoi or midori is useless without the other
>>1476002I actually like Set as a concept with only getting one team and trying to balance survival with dps. The thing I don't like is that in order to actually be threatening it locks out every armor type besides blue and then gets copy pasted into other armor types which just feels like low effort ways for them to create more niche units for us to roll.
We got to hear Hoshino's serious voice this episode: https://x.com/Neckotti_0928/status/1792250507102499319
when are they announcing how long the maid rerun event is? I need to know if I should hoard AP
>>1476100My personal rule of thumb is, if the event has limited character in it, then it should be a 2 week long for the rerun. Otherwise, it's should be the usual 1 week for the rerun.
>>1476012Yep, they should just remove damage type from Set.

I'm gonna miss my headpat. It was Mika in the cafe too. Fuck you.
Yay, free gems!
They gave one ticket of each grand assault type too, that was for this maintenance too right? Only asking because it expires in 1d
>>1476246Yes, it's maintenance comp https://x.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1792556144113926641
That's 2 compensations during daikessen in a row. I need 総力戦 coins though.
Don't forget to do the challenges.Also Yume flashback maybe this week in the anime.
how many stars do i need on kokona to do insane on all 3 raids?
Can I still get the coins if I try torment difficulty but quit the raid or do you actually need to let the time run out?
>>1476407Enter once, die, quit, give up the ticket
>challenge 5I got cancer from this
is there any reason to use noa over akane for this raid?
>>1476507Noa has blue armor and Akane is red while Hiero at Insane or higher has red attack. Akane's probably still useable with healer/shielder or someone else tanking but Noa doesn't need extra help to survive.>>1476407Remember to do an insane run first, if you have no score then giving up a torment ticket doesn't do anything.>>14763993* is fine for healing lantern with no debuff on. A lot of the speedstrats have her brute force a lantern through debuff with ns+ex, this one needs a little more than UE30, need some combination of higher bond, +healing stats from books or UE40.
>>1476554ns+ex with debuff require UE40, though sometimes even with the additional heal stats from set it's still not enough
Im too lazy
>>1476559https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaFvbP5muIw&t=44sThis one gets it with a UE30 and +25 healing.

>>1476882Every end-of-month event in June and July so far has been a summer swimsuit event. Since there are no new events in May, Trinity Carnival is probably getting saved for August or later.
>Saiba maids are single-target purple DPS with red armorI'm clearing extreme on the next raid
No bonus synergy between meido twins is kinda cringe. I guess both are prepared for purple set with momoi assigned to ball killing, where she wouldn't be easily replacable by hanako because everyone has red armor, so clearly purple set will do yellow damage.

>>1477687You mean Gakuen Idolm@ster
They really should stop making event archivals take a week
>>1477687>>1477693These are direct competitors to Genshin and Uma respectively, though, not BA
>>1477700BA has no direct competitors, it's the only gacha exclusively for (you)
>>1477716>it's the only gacha exclusively for (you)This is a myth and feels like a /vg/ shitpost. Priconne, Nikke, Azur Lane, and Snowbreak exist. You can argue BA is a better quality game than those but it's hardly anything special in terms of demographic appeal.
this whole year has entirely been filler im not even expecting anything big until the next year

No datamines about next banner?
What in the everloving christ is this? Am I gonna have to see this every 7 days now?
>4.2gb patchwhy tho
>>1477765they said something about yostar ID linkingjust click the yellow part and take a screenshot of the ID and numbers in the next page just in case
>>1477765You can close for now. They are migrating old email binding to new yostar id
Reminder to not roll until you get your GA limited 10-roll ticket in 5 hours

they nerfed the bonus % for event items

>>1477773they also removed the good ooparts and replaced them with the shitty ones you can buy from JFD shop

>>1477806This is the lowest bonus I've had so far.80/20/60Brutal to farm with this. Guess I'm skipping whole second week to farm reports
Free mode is nice, it's great to be able to practice this minigame and regain my ability to play it without the fear of dying early and losing out on M.Yuzu elephs. I hope they add a free mode to the TTRPG minigame in Trinity Summer 2 so I could get a hang of it again before spending resources.
base twin skills work with the maid variants!
>>1477825Too bad there's no attack type synergy
Abydos summer reruns + Aoi mini-event

Wonder if we'll get a story update soon
>>1477832aoi is usually story update
>>1477826>yellow on purple is normaleh, it's workable
I have a 90% bonus on the invitation item so I need about 10k AP to get from UE40 to UE50. Should be doable in about a week then I can focus on 2x commissions in the second half of the rerun.
>>1477792I imagine it'll keep nagging you since the longest you can postpone that window is for a week (with a tickbox bottom right), but yeah>>1477780It seems to be exactly the same as old email binding. If you're already bound and click to migrate you just get some info about various internal IDs and that's it.
>don't care about account linking>have to keep closing prompt to login nowyostar please
Anyone know if they changed numbers in the minigame? Hard mode is way harder than I remember
>>1477865it does take longer to kill akira probably due to the burn nerf where you have to deal with her bouncing cardsbut everything else feels like roughly the same, if you don't roll spread/doubleshot+pierce+bounce early on then you are going to have a hard time
>Past hoshino datamineis it actually happening
>>1477863>If you're already bound and click to migrate you just get some info about various internal IDs and that's it.Good to know I didn't fuck up somehow, thanks.
>>1477870Where's this list of datamines
>>1477870Proofs?
>>1477873>>1477872Ch0258 : Hoshino (臨戦/battle(?))
when volume f came out i was laughing at eops for thinking that it was the end of the game because I knew it was only the end of bad timeline sensei. now i realize they were right.
oh no shes gonna get blackmailed by trainfags this time and do something by herself again instead of consulting with everyone and we have to save hoshino senpai again
It'd be kino if combat hoshino is the mika/hina for blues
>>1477874no I mean like where is the list of all datamined things
so twins any good
>>1477893for the one raid+terrain that they specialized in and won't be used again for about 6 monthsthough i am sensing bait again just like when they first release the first couple of purple students and end up only shanako and kikyou being used
what the FUCK is the difference between attack and defense positioning that makes it so my defense is nearly 100% wins and my attacks are near 100% losses despite using the same girls
>>1477903people lower than you in rank attack you, you attack people higher than you in rank, it means you're at your correct rank
>>1477899>only shanako and kikyou being usedIf you're gunning for top scores, maybe. I also used Kasumi and Renge.
Don't feel like dickrolling maid twins. But if we get shupogaki twins next month, I'm dickrolling them.
>>1477904Then I should be rank 1, and the person I attacked for rank 1 should be rank 1. This is retarded reasoning.I'm asking what the differences actually are since it's not easy to read what is happening from the attacking side.
So free is harder than hard?
>>1477923Much harder. It's good practice though.
Collect your daikessen rewards!
>>1477932Still not sure if I want my tenner on these brats or shiroko to save half-anni ticket
>>1477877Wakamo...
>>1477903The AI seems extra retarded about taking cover on attack, I'll see a team where everyone positions properly on defense and try mirroring it exactly to attack and then the Iori or Hanako will just run up to the middle and die instantlyIt's not even consistent either, I assume it's due to the "AI runs forwards until something is in range -> then takes cover" logic where the DPS gets in range before the tank does but not sure how to reliably fix it
>>1477876>Having to save Hoshino senpai for fucking off solo With each passing story update that entire Vol 1 premise gets sillier tbdesu, we've seen how much bullshit the "strong" girls like Mika and Wakamo and Hina can get away with rampaging solo, as well as how much of a relative pushover the corpo robots and Gematria areOjii-san's ptsd and Rean act and vague morality code are already doing a ton of heavy lifting here
>>1477903>carries are in safe cover 99% of the time on the defense>attackers are completely exposedits not rocket science
>>147783016th is a Sunday though, what are they planning?
Did the original have the lifesteal buff in the minigame? I don't remember this and also it basically does nothing. I think the burn buff also got nerfed so maybe should be skipped for crit now
>>1478145no, and i don't remember the movement speed buff either, burn is still fine if you just want to spray and pray and just focus on dodgingattack speed buff is more important if you know how to tap move quckly
Is it just me or does the game get heavier when you enter the Aris Maid Event?I've gotten force-closed many times
>>1478204Same over here but including PVP. Seems they botched the code somewhere
Is dataminer here ?Is it true we will have minigame TD for next new event ?
>>1478228Haven't seen any evidence of TD specifically, though my coverage is by no means complete. The largest new functionality being worked on seems to be some sort of per-character combat style switch.
>>1478264>The largest new functionality being worked on seems to be some sort of per-character combat style switch.What exactly does this entail? Also, is there a list of everything that got datamined, aside from the events up until the 16th?

>>1478131Sunday (anime airing day)
>>1477337With Set we see that it's hot garbage. I only see 3 borrows without a symbol and it's 84, 82, 70
With her bond gear crit stat increase and assuming she has Ako's EX buffing her, M.Arisu's crit chance against Hod and Goz increased from 27% to 43%.Against regular enemies with a lower crit resist of 100, her crit chance increase is a bit less, from 49% to 57%.This is not considering the crit rate up in her T2 normal skill which even further increases her crit chance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIXeSV1VWbk
>>1478610>This is not considering the crit rate up in her T2 normal skill which even further increases her crit chance.Why not. What a useless analysis, only doing half of the fucking buff.
>>1478622The first 2 times you use her EX, you're not going to be relying on her normal buff.
repost for hereFloor 99 Set again with SHifumi + Sakurako. I did better than last time.The strategy is ultimately pretty simple. I oddly found it easier to do on triple speed though10 cost (15 seconds left to the next "minute")Sakurako, NYKayoko, SShiroko, DAko, Kotama, Kokona, Atsuko... NYKayoko (on SIzuna this time), OShigure... Sakurako! (when it's 45 seconds until the next minute)Basically you keep to a 30 second rotation of doing the same stuff. So, X:45 -> sakurako etc again. X:15 -> sakurako etc againAnd you buff SIzuna and Sakurako interchangeably.SIzuna is used to destroy the red lightning ball at the right time, and you use healing whenever you notice Atsuko or OShigure have stopped healingAnd I've said before there's "damage" RNG. Set's damage. Your own will be consistent, but sometimes he's an asshole who just TPKs you or someone who is essential. Can slightly be mitigated by using Kokona on someone who's really low health before a big attack but often this won't work.Kiiiiinda fun overall? But again, anxiety.Everyone has maxed skills and EQ. Nobody has those special bonuses (afaik, I didn't look closely at the borrowed Sakurako)
NY.Kayokolet here, cleared floor 74 with 1 second remaining. I was going to post my floor 70 clear since that was the highest I could clear previously but after seeing >>1478658 I tried replacing B.Akane with S.Hifumi and it worked surprisingly well. Attack speed can be one hell of a buff.Earlier I tried borrowing Umika instead of Sakurako but I can't make heads or tails out of how to maximize her potential, she requires much more skill to use than simply just refreshing Sakurako's EX every 30 seconds.
>>1478455Random UE50 Sakurako
I really hope all these reruns don't permanently kill the game's momentum
>>1478824>gakumasu>wuwayostar/nexon just avoiding the current shitstorm while letting anime transmitting subliminal messages before they drop something epic
>>1478828I know this is a joke reply but I hope you're rightFeels like the game's at its lowest point-momentum wise in yearsMaybe I'm just being too pessimisti
3.5 swimsuit asuna will take over xwitter it'll be fine
>>1478916Realistically, who has a chance of getting the second set of swimsuits? I think they'll be the bluefes units too, considering Arius were shown in the PV like Abydos once were
>>1478925i was being realistic about it being c&c. millennium hasn't had swimsuits (other than eimi) and a lot of other millennium clubs have other things lined up already. c&c is guaranteed social media buzz and bunnies were forever ago. anyone in the club other than akane would do well as the 3.5 student(i personally want neru).also, since wild hunt and highlander have named students, there's a good chance an odyssey student will appear in one of the summer events, and c&c would be the ideal club to introduce an odyssey student alongside.pic isn't my list it's some youtuber's + his chat's, just including it for fun
>>1478929>that listI'm betting all my chips on microbikini Kokona
>>1478929It'd probably be lame to have swimsuits for students who already have an alt, even if it's C&C who are still pretty secondary baitPandemonium are probably too early aside from Iroha, ninjas seem unlikely along with the rest of the Hyakki girls since they've had their summer already, but maybe Yukari and Kikyou could surpriseChinks are probably too unpopular, ditto Red Winter (lmao imagine how mild people would go for S.Marina/Tomoe)Tea Party would've been a prime candidate were the previous bluefes not have also been trinityGamers just had stuff releasedHonestly really hard call
>>1478934keep in mind that just because they show up in the event doesn't mean they're getting released this year. a swimsuit makoto could take two years to actually release.there could also be an outsider like wakamo who gets a swimsuit. free tsukuyo, gacha iroha and megu, michuru on rerun could work, while arius is 3.5 with saori or atsuko as the fes unit.as for>It'd probably be lame to have swimsuits for students who already have an altthis is unfortunately a (You) problem, it's approaching three years for c&c. characters getting second alts is going to become more and more common and you're going to have to accept it sooner or later. hell shiroko and serika are already examples of characters who got swimsuits as their second alts.
>>1478940>free tsukuyo, gacha iroha and megu, michuru on rerunI want whatever you're havingAlso idk, I don't think the C&C alts would be lame, I'm just not sure if they'd be a hitI'm not sure of anything anymore
>>1478949>I want whatever you're havingi don't understand the issue. iroha is popular, megu is well liked enough and has big tits. if you look at it as iroha taking miyako's place and megu taking saki's it seems pretty reasonable to me?. i'm not saying that will happen, obviously i think it'll be c&c, but i think you're overestimating how popular a character needs to be to get a non-limited swimsuit alt. hell, fucking mashiro got a limited.
>>1478958>i don't understand the issueToo much of a hodgepodge of characters
>>1478966fair enough but i don't personally agree. ninjas+pandemonium is already an established group, no need for lengthy introductions, and megu is a villain.
Give new student for blufesThey already break the pattern with dhina
Do you think they'll ever change the attack type on Set after rotating through every armor type?
>>1478973If 3.5 bluefes really must be a new unit then it has to be Seia or RioKisaki and Akira are also candidates but with a lot less gravitas
>>1478989doubt it, they'll make new bosses instead.>>1478991i want akira to go full wakamo and crash the trinity festival
>>1478993My copium is that part 1 of the festival will be alts (Sakurako, Fubuki/Kirino, Ichika) and part 2 will be Akira and Seia as limiteds, kinda like Halo Fest
>>1478989>Meru made the list but Miyu didn't despite roughly having the same kitmust be tough being the forgotten rabbit
found some random UE50 sakurako for set, managed to beat 99 with her
is it me or did the game became really slow lately
>>1478681Umika is best when paired with Sakurako, however it is possible... POSSIBLE to field a team with Umika and beat floor 99 but I've only seen one person do it.I have a maxed out UE50 Umika and I tried my hardest to do it, but I couldn't understand that shit/balance it at all. They honestly should've given her better stats considering she's obviously designed to fight Set, but Sakurako is just plain better.
>>1478929dude arius
>>1479082You need both for push anyway. Highest clear (106) is Sakurako+Umika+Utaha
>>1479095Utaha?Just for the HP buff, or...? Surely she can't help that much with damage.Unless you mean CUtaha?
>>1479099Obviously.
>>1479083what about it? obviously they're one of the two events. they might be the half anni, they might not be.
>>1479146I mean "being realistic" I don't think they'd be 3.5 characters.Mostly because they already have alts and they're not nearly as popular as Hina.
>>1479146sorry, here >>1479148 by "they" I mean C&CSure 2 of them get a particularly high amount of fanart, but the devs have the actual metrics on how few people super care about C&Cnot that I dislike them, I just think it'd be a baffling move to give them such play for half anni, even if they did save this game from dying
>>1479148>>1479151again, we've already had swimsuits as second alts.and let's be real, you would've called hanako baffling too if i said it would be her a year ago.
>>1479151Neru is one of the strongest students in Kivotos according to the lore, comparable to Hina and Tsurugi and a step below Hoshino. But her current two playable versions in the game are very niche. I wouldn't be surprised if, just like with Hina, the devs want to give her an extremely strong alt (probably a blufes) to make her notoriety in gameplay match her in-lore reputation.
>>1479155I actually wouldn't since she's a main character.
the wiki has the last aoi event (the board one) as the next one as well, has that been datamined or is it just a placeholder?https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Events/Mini_Event/SCHALE_Settlement_Task_with_General_Student_Council#Season_8-1
>>1479170Yeah I can see Neru getting a strong alt.
Do you think it's likely we get a story drop next week? If so, are they announcing it today, or tomorrow?I hope there is one or people are gonna start to get seriously bored, and nexon really doesn't want to slow down that much atm
>>1479185It's in the game already. Obviously treat this as unconfirmed until, you know, it is officially announced, but given the different item distribution I fully expect that data to be final.There's also a guide mission starting 06/05, but some of the assets are missing for now.
>>1479217>guide mission starting 06/05main story update highly likely then, right?
>>1479234After the Abydos archival absolutelyWhat I wanna know is next week. I'm still baffled they gave this event rerun two weeks. Why do this? Why start now?
>>1479272>Why start now?
Anyone have the raid participation stats? I've heard something changed in how they calculate the final number or something.
>>1479272>Why do this?the minigame is fun, and i suppose they want the newfags in on thatalso, this ain't the first time reruns got 2 weeks
>>1479272but guide missions are usually "read the main story" nowadayshow are they going to do that if the guide missions activate the week before?
>>1479272because it has two new students. problem solver rerun got two weeks as well.
>>1479170Eh, Neru's lore rep seems mostly a fandom thing at this point, if anything it seems like the writers are pretty consistent about portraying "strongest by Millennium standards" as way more grounded than the other super strong invulnerable gorillas. People lumped her in with the others due to profile statements like "has never failed a mission" or "unrivalled in CQC" but we've seen both of those are apparently defined pretty loosely.Hell, just from the bunny event and mobs thinking they can gank her in the engineer story, others like Wakamo or even Cath Palug may have better showings at this point.
that kind of ridiculous neru downplaying is exactly why they'd be motivated to give her the spotlight
There's no reason to mald in floor 100 when you had already cleared this the first time around, right?
Warning: in the minigame's free mode don't ever take "healing"/if you have 9 skills never take a "new" skillOnce you have 10 skills it stops giving you more, so you can't stack or heal or gain new abilities.Which is fucked up design, btw
>>1479682Fucking Nexon strikes again
>>1479682or maybe I'm just wrong and there's some element of randomness, but w/e
>>1479531Is there a good floor 100 team without oShigure, car Akari and borrowing Sakurako? I managed to clear floor 99 but failed clearing floor 100 using same team
>>1479717>without oShigure, car Akari and borrowing Sakurakoif you mean no oShigure, no nyAkari, while borrowing sakurako (why would you not borrow her?) then you can use this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnUT9UwRp-c
>>1479719thanks, that is the team I'm using, but I didn't know where did I do it wrong
>>1479286pls respond
So my grand ticket will expire before summer. Which maid do you recommend? They seem pretty neck to neck gameplaywise but I don’t know anything practical
This run of the minigame is absolutely miserable because they added so many worthless options to the pool of buffs so you can't reasonably stronger by the time you reach the bosses unless you have higher than average luck
>>1479980>t. Momoi
>>1479952serika
>>1479952Why didn't you use it on band sluts
>>1480064I rolled Kazusa before the Grand Ticket was deployed hours later
>>1479952M.Momoi looks stronger right now, she works like a purple version of S.Nonomi and she can do crazy autoattack damage if you use her EX skill a lot. M.Midori does less DPS overall, but there's a possibility that her EX being a targeted damage skill might be necessary for the upcoming purple content's gimmick, kind of like the ball in Set.Speaking of Set, here is M.Momoi clearing floor 49 of blue Set practically on her own:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLfgfKXd_F4
>400k people participated in GA Hiero>the previous GA, Greg, had 371kHuh. Did people not even bother with Greg, or did something change? Unusual for raid numbers to go up without an anniversary event
>>1480123Fuck Greg obviouslyfucking irritating raidbut the correct answer is probably because they changed the GA ranking mechanic starting with the latest Hiero. you only need to clear a single color raid once and you'd get in the rankings. back then, you had to clear all three to get in therehttps://bluearchive.jp/news/newsJump/450>前回まで3種類の防御タイプの異なるBOSSを全て討伐しないと自身の順位がランキングには反映されませんでしたが、今回より3種の防御タイプの内、どれか一体でもBOSSを倒すとランキングに反映されるようになります。is this what you were looking for? >>1479286
>>1480131>is this what you were looking for?Yes, actually. Thanks.But do you think this has a significant impact on the ranking numbers?
>>1480133lower ranks, yeah. some people just can't be bothered to do more than one it seemsand the number of participants would be visible early on just like in TA, compared to us seeing a sudden spike in the numbers in the last day
>>1480134Then even if the total number of participants went down compared to Greg, it still shouldn't be much lower, right?
>>1480137i guess? maybe people just forgot to do all 3 color raids for greg in the last day, which caused the drop in numbers the numbers we saw in hiero give a more accurate view of the players who bothered playing the raid to some extent
>>1480138>the numbers we saw in hiero give a more accurate view of the players who bothered playing the raid to some extentFunny how they were quite a bit lower than Hod's still, even with the ranking change. I guess a bunch of people just don't bother with GA at all, or forget to do it after procrastinating?
How do I even counter Marina in 3 easy steps?
>>1480141lots of people including me procrastinate right until the end of GAimagine fighting at 03:59 hoping you're not gonna end up unranked
Why is it so difficult to talk about BA outside of its dedicated places without a bunch of cunts doomposting about it when they likely don't even play the gameIt has it so much worse than any other gacha I've played
>>1480093Alright Momoi it is
>>1480323Idk about doomposting but the one time I brought it up to my guild in another game, the leader called it "that pedo game" even though BA's lolis are pretty tame in comparison to that game's.
I keep seeing JP comments saying BA lost a big chunk of its playerbase recently, and I guess we can't really find out for sure until Goz startsI don't know who or what to believe in anymore, I hope that wasn't true but the brainworms have lodged themselves quite deeply
>>1480421>lost a big chunk of its playerbase recentlywhy?also don't get the doomposting get to you, it's half shitposting and half generic contrarianism
>>1480432>why?Newer games releasing, also maybe this is just me seeing patterns that don't actually exist but the BA JP youtube videos are getting a lot less views (Kazusa's latest short has 100k less than its average) and the Futaba threads have apparently slowed way downI hate being so fucking autistic
>>1480438Endless reruns is probably working against it. Let's see what 3.5 brings.
>>1480450>Let's see what 3.5 brings.That's still two months away, that's a lot of time. Might be too late to solve anything if the situation is indeed looking bad at the moment.I sincerely hope this is all just me being a depressive autist who let the brainworms get to him, ever since the anime started airing I've felt a lot less positivity surrounding the game and that keeps getting worse
you're a retard, these games go in cycles based on hypenothing is going on currently so yes obviously we have fewer active players than during anni. swimsuits and 3.5 will bring the player count back then we'll gradually fall off again until 4.
>>1480466My theory is that people are saving their excitement and gems for highly anticipated banners like Summer Arius, Shupogakis, Idol Mari, Takane, Pajama Yuuka, etc.
>>1480421I think it's half been in maintenance mode since Volume F and I'm so burned out on metachasing I hardly try ranking anymore. Even then I'd call it fully delusional to think the game's in any danger. The problem's the opposite, the devs are complacent because BA's secured itself as a lasting franchise. They've talked about starting to plan things many years in advance now and that includes delaying the releases of popular characters but I think they're neglecting the present too much. Kind of insane they have an anime airing, when there should be the most returning players, and there's all these reruns. No need to listen to trolls and antis but if the devs feel threatened enough to accelerate the schedule that's a good thing in my eyes.
If you do a lot of reruns people will complain that there's no need content.If you do a lot of new content people will complain that they want to roll for [rerun banner] that keeps getting delayed, or that there's too much new shit and their pyro can't catch up.
>>1480485>no need content*no new content

It's funny how it's become a tradition to draw Seia dressed as whatever the current thing is.
>>1480481it's not in maintenance mode, more like it's in prep mode. vol F and the 9 story chapters ahead of it took a lot of work, not only over the two years before vol F but also from before the game even released. now they have to do that all over again, with less of a buffer than they had pre-release.also between hina's event or the band event, shupogaki fight, etc. it's not like they're half assing the stuff they do release. (other than the hyakki event's tl for some reason)
Again, I hope you guys are correct and everything is indeed fine.Sorry for bothering you with my depressing bullshit. I should touch grass.

>>1480481>Kind of insane they have an anime airing, when there should be the most returning players, and there's all these rerunsFirst of all, newfags and returnees would need reruns to get in on what they've missedBut most importantly, I don't think anyone cares about the anime. I have legitimately not seen it being talked about positively ANYWHERE, it's almost depressing how hard Yostar fumbled that
the 2chan ba game thread enjoys the anime, the 2chan ba anime thread is the most schizo shit i've ever read though
>>1480624The anime thread is basically shitposting central since it attracts the antis and tribalists, but even then I remember checking out the general thread before and their reception was lukewarm at best
>>1480629and if you checked today you would have seen everyone talking about how the last several episodes have all been good
>look mom the japaneses are saying xyzThis /vmg/ is also basically shitposting central
if you're here you can presumably read japanese, go check yourself instead of acting like /vg/

I'm DESPERATELY praying the Arius Summer event hits it out of the park like the ASS event did. Arius are probably some of the most well-written and well-liked characters in BA so they deserve something special.Craziest thing is, I don't even think they'll be the 3.5 units, but rather the first, non-limited set of swimsuits we always get, which means the 3.5 event would be even bigger. Hopefully that's why they've been having so many reruns in a row.
>>1478264Its just fake leaks then, just like Reijo leaks last time
>>1481164There are references to some sort of Defense mode being worked on. I do not have any further info on what that entails. So I don't think those are baseless, but they might be reading too far into the very thin evidence (or they might be spot on, I honestly don't know).
>>1481278I hope the combat switch thing is how they'll introduce costumes like Nurse Serina.Imagine if that allows you to turn a Special into a Striker. We'd finally be able to pinch them.

>>1480466>ever since the anime started airingMost/all big mobile game anime adaptations will not live up to the source's reputation for people giving it a first shot, and not give existing players the fanservice or screentime they want, that's just the way it goes. If you hang around here too often you'll be drowned in people expressing both opinionsBA devs have been surprisingly savvy about falling into some of the usual genre and mobile game pitfalls throughout the game's lifespan so I can understand being optimistic, but they chose to play it safe and do the usual here
Done with the event. Time to farm commissions.
Besides the SRT/Trinity 2 summers, is there anything else likely to be rerun in the near future? This slow-ass pace is terrible for veterans and it's showing with how little people have been talking about the game on JP
>>1481821>This slow-ass pace is terrible for veteransLook at the bright side, it's an opportunity to save more gems. You might have to burn a few GA tickets on throwaway 10-rolls but it means little in the long run.
>>1481831But it also makes people lose interest, especially now that some big competitors are coming out. I hope people aren't fickle enough to just drop the game outright like that one Toy Story gif but damn, it feels kinda desolate.
>>1481854How many times are you going to use this exact same talking point in a single thread? I'm starting to think I've just been getting trolled this whole time and shouldn't have replied.
This slow-ass pace is great for the horde of newfags like me, there's at least 4 summer reruns I want to roll and who knows how many new ones, I'm gonna need every gem I can save.

tying banner reruns to event reruns was a mistakewe need two dozen fucking banners going at the same time every single week like garupa
>>1481900Just kill yourself so we don't have to hear this bullshit.
when the devs said they foresee the game to last for 10 years this is exactly what they meant. you dont want the game to pull out all its big guns at once and die because the latest homoslop or fotm releases right?
>>1481900Literally take a break from the game This is the pace they chose to go with, and this isn't any different from the pace they had before their big waveSeems to me that the only ones complaining are those who invested too much on this IP and are reluctant to see it "lose steam"
>>1481891don't forget that Goz has begun
they just randomly gave us a new event and called it a web minigame
Webevent sprites are way higher res than ingame...

>>1482748Forgot image
>>1482748i'm mostly indifferent, maybe it'll ruin the game but we won't truly know the full impact until the next vol f tier anni which will probably be 5th anni.going to be annoying having people use it to shitpost until then
>>14827509ml designs are the most "blue archive", cute simple and recognizablevol4 was great and took its time with everything it had to, the only problem it had was putting the adhd zoomers to sleepand good to hear they understand their audience, maybe they'll stop pushing for infinite growth and plan with maintaining the current audience in mind
>>1482767>maybe they'll stop pushing for infinite growthare you okay
Can I get a QRD of the web event? I'm too lazy to read it
>>1482783You have 3 months to learn Japanese so you'll be able to read it, lazy my ass.
>>1482781>are you okay?is anyone here?they wanted as much growth as possible and made a few retarded decisions>ambiguous senseihoping to attract a female audience>neutered anime senseiended up not attracting anyonethis is my guess but they likely scheduled this content drought not to take away attention from the anime and viceversa
>>1482783detective story about who stole himari's pudding. yuzu and alice were with himari so they have alibis, so it's up to you to figure out if it's momoi or midori or the white onee-san.it's all three, they all stole it and replaced it with a different pudding, and we never find out who stole the original.once you get the codes from each the three endings you add them together to get a password to unlock a hidden room containing saiba ao, the third gamer triplet, who is evil and needs pudding to survive. alice, who was secretly a hero disguised as a maid, slays her.
>>1482785he doesn't even need that, supposedly Edge's webpage translation works with it
>>1482788ambiguous sensei has been a thing from the start (as far as i know, correct me if i'm wrong). that's not chasing "infinite growth" when it's just maintaining the statue quo.anime sensei is "neutered" because anime is a different storytelling format with different needs, not because they were trying to get the mihoyo audience. he still has his moments - the stalker line, his response to iori, his copout in the aquarium ep.it's also absurd to call them 'retarded' as though they were somehow harmful. the first is a total non-issue and the anime's problem isn't that sensei didn't smell shiroko's sweat.
>>1482802>ambiguous sensei has been a thing from the startyes and it was retarded to pursue at the cost of refusing to even acknowledge sensei being male for the longest timeeven now they're stuck doing it out of inertia>anime senseii'm not even gonna bother arguing with you, neck yourself tranny
I thought I was on /bag/ for a second there.
okay yeah i should really stop replying to doomers since they're clearly just bag tourists
Yep, Wakamo is still queen of indoors blue damage
>>1482789>you add them togetherGoddammit I tried for like 15 minutes various combinations of the codes only using 0-4. It would've been perfect. In-game mail rewards say the order is Midori code, Momoi code, Mystery nigga code. So obviously the code should be 4123 since those are the only non-zero numbers in the sequential order.TL;DR Momoi made a kusoge
>>1481951harsh
>>1482811the boss having attack damage type doesn't really deter people from using the optimal dps
>>1482749I have all your units and my Wakamo is maxed. Got a video of how to clear it?
insane doable if i lack both ny kayoko and himari?
>>1482941Pretty sure it is. Pretty sure even I could do it, I'd just have to max out Hinata and Kotori. But I just can't up Kotori from 0 to max when I'm close to triple sparking.
Still not sure if I want to raise my Wakamo when the next busted fes attacker should be blue.
>>1482980it might be another support like shoshino where UE40 is good enough
>>1482983My dHina, Mika and sHanako are still UE40, my sHosh, Himari and Ako are still 3*. Being relatively new is suffering.
>>1482941Yeah, though "doable" is a pretty strong wordIf your dps is too low after your A/B team gets done, throwing bodies at him gets messy real fast, due to fatto catto's mechanics making it harder to avoid damage on girls with the wrong armor color, and phase 2 going to hell in handbasket immediately if you run out of girls who can handle the targeting or shielding
>>1482940>Got a video of how to clear it?I just spammed Wakamo (muchuki for P1 mobs), reapplied shields when they were down and it worked out fineit was very close and the test attempt left him with 3.5m HP though

What's the reason why UE2 is better for Gym Yuuka over UE1?
guess this raid would require torment for plat at this rate>>1483349more healing stats = bigger shield from her EX = wakamo is less likely to die
>>1483353Insane is for once reasonably easy to do. This is gonna suck.
~331k people participating in the raid, about 40k less than Hod at this same point in timePeople really don't like Goz lmao
>>1483486>directional audio gimmick in a mobile gamedeserved
>>1483506I just pause and look at the cards. It's piss easy to tell the fakes from the real one visually.
>no sports YuukaYep, it's comfy Extreme again for me.
>>1483215Okay so, they're running this along with the Abydos Summer archival, right? We get two weeks for the story update, then on the 16th we get the Hyakki Summer archival. Is all of that right?Is there a chance we get anything else at all in that meantime that's not Aoi?
>>1483537I'm guessing SRT summer rerun on the 12that the very least we're getting something, otherwise they would've put the hyakki permanent on 12th instead of 16th
Last day before shop reset.
is there some way to manipulate the fucking bomb so it doesn't hit s izuna?

already over 37k insane and above clears
>>1483651Alive game?
>>1483598Thanks for the reminder
heard set HP got nerfed, which stage?
>>1483651yeah the participation and rate of clears for current goz is a little bit nuts especially for being the most hated raid. I guess t9 and wakamo having max bonus from terrain made a huge difference. hoping 2t torment is enough for plat
>>1483598>>1483692Are the purple reports and fragments worth it or too expensive?
>>1483766Everything under 84 i think.
>>1483486>No Whackamole or New York Kayoko>Force scuffed clear through anyways and end up bottom 1k of INSCan only imagine it's even worse if you're missing Yuuka to boot
did itGoz Torment 3T. 37,787,920 points, putting me at a bottom of the barrel 7660 rank--not far from Insane's top score.But I don't care, so long as 20,000 people don't beat Torment. Not an adapted strategy, I figured this out all on my own and that's all I care about in the end. I feel particularly chuffed for bringing RShiroko so Wakamo could survive team 2.
>>1484425Sex
>>1484425Birthday sex
hovercraft wakamo would be interesting to see if it's torment to plat as well after the miyu buff
>dai kessenyep, another extreme clear
>>1484503iirc Wakamo's the easiest Torment aside from Hiero
>>1484570feel that goz might be the second easiest now, previously at max lvl87 would still struggle to 1T phase1 of wakamo, guess with lvl90 and t9 gear it would no longer be a problemalso 9k+ torment clears now
>>1484264updated and got a 2T from pulling Hanako out and bringing ONodoka in.Here's a pretty full breakdown of things for itGoz Torment Indoor 2T. Definitely one of the easier Torments to do, at least if you aren't allowing yourself to suffer RNG. The only reset points for this are "Goz didn't spawn on the right" or "Goz skips using his bomb attack". For the latter, you need to reset because the cycle gets fucked up if his hat shuffle is his first attack.There's not too much that isn't safe with these comps. You can generally keep Wakamo alive so long as you use RShiroko/SShizuko before Wakamo gets hit by something. Might want to keep cost balancing in mind if you want to be extra safe.
>>1484611oh right, on that cleanup crewNoa is only 3*Atsuko and Himari are UE40THasumi, STsurugi, and Kaede are UE50

2t Torment done, hope this enough for plat, I don't want to use more resources and malding.
over 14k torment clears so far
Yume is voiced by Fuchigami Mai
Fuck Goz. More ligma down the drain instead of proper waiting for mastery refreshes.
kinda wild how much the anime's quality changed halfway throughfeeling pretty good about future seasons now
>>1485322Are these numbers bad? I remember Hod got to almost 480k
>>1484623Are you saying that M.Momoi is so good she beats Sakurako against blue armor?
>>1484888>>1485450don't know, just seemed like she could shoot a bunch of times very fast to stack the debuff
>>1485412ehhh, that's largely because there haven't been any action scenes in 3 episodes. Hell, the last 3 eps have been a lot of talking and even fillerThe next 3 have to deliver imo to at least salvage the overall lukewarm reception and end on a decent note, a lot hinges on the Black Suit confrontation and the leg licking scene unironically
>>1485461talking isn't bad. black suit confrontation is also talking.
>>1485461BA's storytelling is at its best when it's mostly talking, like during the build-up of Vol 3 Ch 1 and most of Ch 2.
>>1485467there's the occasional good action, in vol 2 or vol3 ch3, but yeah primarily it's a talking game.
>>1485465>>1485467>>1485472I don't disagree, but anime is a different medium entirely. They need to make all the talking interesting, and I'm not sure an animeonly would fine the last few eps interesting in that regard. It was fine when PS68 were around though.
My main concern right now is the anime doesn't have a proper last boss. In the game Kaiser himself doesn't fight, he summons some dumb ass mech.Hopefully they're smart and let him go full Senator Armstrong vs Shiroko
>>1485493Doubt it'll happen. The robot people and animal people of Kivotos never seem to be as physically strong as students despite being almost as durable. He'll probably pilot the mech though.
>Start goz torment>Struggle to get past p1 but make it>Instantly get gibbed by the hats and have to restartBrothers I hate this raid so much
>>1484611>Scroll up>"one of the easiest torments"wtf
Are there any chances we'll get more datamine stuff after the story update?Also I'll say it again but I seriously hope this next chapter is a hit
Why is the banner ending on a sunday?We getting the hyakki summer rerun after right?
>>1485665Hyakki summer permanent on Sunday 16th so the banner will probably switch to sIzuna and sChise then for a weekAnime ends the Sunday after on 23rd, possibly some special banner then? That would push the June summer event back to July 3rd however

The raid itself was easy but the 2nd phase RNG is so fucking gayNow I can go back to masturbating to my students finally
Is it just me or the game usually delays for 20s for each reset from playing in the emulator?
>>148532216.3k torment clears, one day left
>>1484611Improved my Goz Torment score.>>1485090>>1485568It's definitely easier that some of the more annoying ones.>how to deal with hat coinflip rngIf you're trying for score, there's nothing to do but flip the coin.If you don't care, then that's what the strategy I used is about. The hats don't matter if you shield up and also lower Goz's attack (with RShiroko)It's definitely not particularly frustrating. The only reset points for me are "Wakamo died" (uncommon), "Goz is on the left at the start of the fight" (50% feels like, but this is immediate so no big deal), and "Goz didn't start with his bomb attack" (rare)Fighting Goz to the death takes me a pretty consistent 20 minutes max. This is a far cry from many other Torments.
>>1485774Using SAzusa, you brought to pain on yourself. I'm sure she died a lot.
>>1485852>A lotActually she died like twice which was the amount it took me to beat Goz. 2nd team was basically am random ass body throw anyway that I did not put much thought into, my issue was with first team since the gay 2nd part RNG meant I could be fucked by the hats and have to redo everything.
>>1485855It's not as if you needed to survive everything with your first team.
>>1485842I have rShiroko but I don't want to put resources on her. But still if you don't have her, you end up with a lot of resetting. Difficulty wise, it's not that hard but the rng part puts me off. I clear p1 in just 1x try but p2 sometimes makes me reset for 10-15m due to rng hats >>1484892

>>1485929A 3 year old game's been in a holding pattern for a while amid management changeover. The runners are visibly more interested in concerts, anime and merchandising opportunities to the extent they've contracted someone to build a webevent with a VN story chapter because they just can't be bothered to actually do that in the game anymore. Everything peaks at some point, wouldn't be the worst thing if that was BAs.
Everything will be better after the BA anime ends. Nexon is obviously holding back on content and staggering the current main story chapter to sync with the anime. After that shit is over they will be free to do whatever they want.
>>1486064it make the theory of infighting between yostar jp and nexon seems more plausiblei guess the signs where there since the halo festival with the jp exclusive stuff (drama cd, mini stories on twitter)

We'll get a cafe 2 core for clearing 26-5. It's just a tiny bit more daily credits but we can never have too many credits.
Why is this STILL the favorite gift of almost nobody? How could they spend so long not adding a single student who loves this gift? Not even G.Tsubaki likes it, what the fuck Nexon?
>>1486420it'll be for Shuro
I'm predicting the patch tomorrow will contain pretty much zero new information and will just confirm sChise / sIzuna / sMimori banner on 16th-26thThen Arius summer on the 26th
I really wish they would do grand raid Kurokage

Tried shosh dhina nyfuuka himariCan't do 4. These fuckers are too small for her
JFD HATE
hahahahaha getting max coins seems impossible this season
Gonna finally buy the pick ticket. Ui or Cherino?
God fucking dammit fuck Hibiki and her shit accuracy
>>1486233sorry for late response, it's mainly for gift crafting and I save gems plenty enough for Yume and Kuroko
https://x.com/poppuqn/status/1798263407885558089
>>1486850Thanks anon. I still need to finish my daily jfe so I'm going to do that later before reset.
That was terrible, spent over 30 minutes resetting. I'll check some video guides tomorrow for better teams.
How is s.serika? Should I roll for her? Is she needed in any comp?
>>1486946I got to the end of the map with 3x Serina ex and all the mobs kept spawning on meI imagine T.Yuuka or B.Neru would be good for this
>>1486899I have choice paralysis, please respond
Holy fuck this JFD is garbage. Those black fuckers just randomly survive and fuck you over.
>>1486965Cherino is cuter.
>>1486965cherino if you are missing makoto, ui if you are missing nyfuukaif you have both then just flip a cointhere's also this https://www.bluearchive-ranking.com/students
So what did you guys think of the new story?What about the nips?
4 people in my bracket's top 100 doesn't have sShiroko
>>1486983>>1486990>Cherino is cuter>cherino if you are missing makotoBoth good points, thanks
why did they make swimsuit kot so useless
>>1486965Cherino will probably get her banner rerun in the Red Winter rerun around August/September. If you're planning on rolling for Takane you might as well roll for Cherino while you're at it since their banners will be side-to-side, so Ui would be a better choice for the selector in that situation. If you don't care about Takane then yeah just use the selector on Cherino.
>>1487076can't even put all the abydos swimsuits in the same squad because 3 of them are special...
>>1487083Set
>cliffhanger again>1.5 week for this, then 1.5 week for hyakki summer archival>nothing new until the 26thHoly fuck PLEASE tell me there will be something new in this meantime this pacing is actively killing the gameI seriously hope they pick up the slack once the goddamn anime ends they're obviously dragging shit out because of it and it doubly sucks because nobody cares about the anime
>>1487090They should have given us shupogaki banners or at least squeezed in the trinity 2 rerun. 3 weeks for perma events is stupid.
>>1487095Yeah they should give us students who are still working against our goals in the current story chapter. You're so dumb.
>>1487109why do our goals have to be aligned for me to roll them
>>1487111Because rolling for them = schale 当番
>>1487081Fuck, that's also a good point. But there's a big chance I'll be drained from summer and I'll risk not getting either in 200 rolls. I'll think about it some more.
I'm hoping they add the story's continuation on the 16th, or at least the 19th, otherwise that's THREE dead weeks for veterans which is insane
>>1487121They won't. The story continuation will coincide with the end of the anime season next month.
>>1487124You mean this month. The anime ends on the 23rd.This means a story update then would clash with whatever is gonna be held on the 26th, which is almost definitely Summer 2024 part 1.
>>1486946Improved my teams a bit. Still only getting 125 coins, but it's much less maldy so I'll probably stick with this.
>>1487090It seems like they paced it to match the anime...though the anime kinda sucks. Not totally, and I appreciate most of the new stuff, but then it fucks up other stuff like prematurely showing Hoshino actually cared about Yume rather than indicating that she also resented her.But anyway, with that in mind there's a possibility of the volume concluding like this or next month.
>>1487174Bro they NEED to conclude it this month stillEven nips are getting impatient with this blueballing and likely to start losing interest
holy shit it only costs 60 to open a tile nowthank you aoi
>>1487195Speaking of which, this got updated for the latest version of the minigame:https://x.com/terry_u16/status/1798413342455054718https://schale-inventory-management.terry-u16.net/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_5arxPwavw140 coin compshould give you some idea of who to use
>>1478264>Combat style switch Hoshino OG > Hoshino (armed) ?!?!??
improved upon my own run based on >>1487245, 135 coinsprobably all i'm willing to scorechase for this JFD
My survey suggestions for small QOL so I don't forget them when the time comes>Increase battle xp from 2 to (sensei lvl*20)>Option to turn off increased spawn from furniture>Button to automatically start pvp match when cooldown ends>When a skill that gives a buff is selected, highlight the buff on the students that currently have it, with a timer preferably. Same for debuffs&enemiesAnything that comes to mind?
Stop putting random lvl 1 students in the support list Nexon
>>1487757Just make JFD completely sweepable with 1 attempt like Grand Assault, I already got tired of this mode and the same repetitive OST rotate the ones from Halo Festival already and my god do I hate this season especially.
how does set spoil volume f?
>>1488269It spoils the existence of a certain character, but honestly it's no big deal at this point. If you're playing Blue Archive you've probably already seen a ton of fanart of her so it's not gonna be some mind-blowing surprise to see her in the game.
some quick math for Aoi's eventround 1 & 4: 28 tilesround 2 & 5: 27 tilesround 3 & 6: 27 tilestotal 164 tiles, 60 AP per tile = 9840 APevery day gives about 1100 AP without any refreshing so at 13 days it's 14300 AP spent during the eventthis gives a leeway of 74 missed tiles over the 6 boards, getting all the items should be pretty much guaranteedtldr don't skip any items on the first 6 boards
>>1488348Thank you yuuka, bery cool
>>1488321Even following the official twitter she's there constantly.
>>1488348nah,I think the pen[2 tiles] is not worth
>>1488483You will inevitably get to 7th board. Would you rather have the stuff there?
>Despite appearances and her crippling autism, Momoi can actually cookholy fuck
this fucking minigame is impossible95% of my runs go easy 1-28 and then die at 29 to the second wave
Wiki admin I know your ugly ass is lurking hereT9 watch is broken on your stupid site, it gives everyone 500k health
>>1488627The best strat I've found for room 29 is to run around the side to the top of the room as the first wave is coming down then fight them and wave 2 from the very top where's there more room to attack them directly and dodge the AoEs, you might even kill wave 1 as they're catching up to you if your dps is high enoughThen run down below again when wave 2 is mostly dead so you can fight wave 3 back near cover as needed
>>1488486better than getting the pen desu
>>1488744It's literally not. Say you miss 3 times while looking for 1 pen. That's 5 hits for 24k xp. 7th board is minimum 6 hits for 10k xp
>>1487757"Let us jump from a student's profile page to 'Where can I get their shards/where are they in the schedule menu today?"Once you hit UE50, you can no longer fast jump to where they are from profile. Only way is if you have elephs or whatever you can go to your item menu and jump to the schedule from there.>>When a skill that gives a buff is selected, highlight the buff on the students that currently have it, with a timer preferably. Same for debuffs&enemiesI feel like that's too much QOL. Part of the challenge is keeping things in mind, and they already do small things that you can pay attention to yourself to manage.
>>1488627I ended up never clearing it. I got to the final stage a few times, but would always die from the bizarrely high damage of Akira's bullets.It ended up being pretty annoying, especially because they stopped giving you powerups after a certain stage instead of giving you, I think, up to 2 or 3 more before the end which could really help. It ended up being RNG and I GUESS skill but honestly with that control scheme (even if you map it to reasonable keys with an emulator)... bleh
>>1487757>>1488871Oh right, this>"Let us jump from a student's profile page to 'Where can I get their shards/where are they in the schedule menu today?">Once you hit UE50, you can no longer fast jump to where they are from profile. Only way is if you have elephs or whatever you can go to your item menu and jump to the schedule from there.is about making it easier to raise affection. Lessons are super helpful for bond leveling.
>>1488871I don't know about there being space for an actual buff timer, but the buff UI above every girl probably needs an update in some way, just so you don't have to wait for the display to cycle when the girls have too many buffs on them (which is most of the time nowadays).Also some better way for buff targeting when the girls are all standing directly on top of each other after a reposition.
>>1488903I hate having to either wait or second guess whether a healing debuff has expired on my girls or not before casting a heal in Kaiten or whatever because the stupid overhead UI isn't showing the heal debuff at that moment in time. The "simplicity" of mobage UI is a crime against humanity and has made these games so much harder to play because there is so little information and control.
>>1488748the only benefit of pen is 1 purple report and the mats are better for 7th+
>>1488903>I don't know about there being space for an actual buff timer, but the buff UI above every girl probably needs an update in some way, justYeah this is annoying as it currently is
>>1488905It makes sense why it's clipped on small enemies, but for Boss healthbars it's dumb that you can only see a few at once
okay finally, running to the top in 29 like >>1488730 said made it very easyburn is meh dunno why the wiki says it's top tier. definitely not better than split/pierce/bounce. double evade + 1 health on kill is more than enough for survival. freeze can be good for easier mob killing, either sweepers or waves where they have to run forwards first. after that it's dmg up and everything else is trash
>>1489483>burn is meh dunno why the wiki says it's top tierIt's better in the regular play modes where you can only get a few powerups. In that context it deals a lot of damage to bosses.In free mode, crit and regular attack up are better.Also, evasion stacks?
>>1489483Burn was nerfed this iteration, so most likely that recommendation is a carryover from last time. It's ok for bossing but it's not particularly fast compared to just stacking attack up and it's pretty useless against mobs.
>>1487757Stamina regen being visible from the cafe or shop or just any fucking menu. I physically need to claim stamina after the tick so I dont lose on 4 minutes of regen.
>>1487757Consolidate the affection we get from patting students, we can only pat them once in every 12 hour period and it's 4x the affection gain. This way we don't feel like we have to log in every 3 hours to pat them anymore. I know it's no big deal and we can just ignore the feature and use gifts instead but it'd be nice to get that thing off my mind.
Make pvp reward reset at 4 with the rest of the game
>>1489660but then I can't maximize my chance of claiming top 10 reward by pooling 5+5 attacks
>>1489483Congrats now do it with Momoi and her slow-ass double shot that does like only 20% more damageI've soured on even those defensive options over the course of free mode now too, just because the biggest threat is getting gibbed by stray shots doing 100+ damage once you get to 29 and Akira, and the tiny lifesteal and RNG dodge are unreliable for survival at that point instead of just taking 2-3 more damage or crit upgrades.
>>1489688lifesteal is just a convenience for earlier stages where you can get chill on stage 20 and such since you can always just replenish it on a billion sweepers later but yeah it falls off on 29/30dodge is nice since it has a fairly decent chance of activation when stacked
>>1489667How so? attack 5 times before reset, attack 5 times after reset
>>1490062yeah you still can, but if it resets like it does now you can do your 5+5 attacks at reset, claim your reward and then claim it again 14:00 if no one beats you then just wait 34 hours and do your 5+5 attacks againobviously this doesn't always work, but it's definitely a higher chance to not be knocked out of top 10 for 10 hours rather than 24 hours
Apparently BA has been getting absolutely shat on in several popular nip forums for the last month or so, saying people are quitting en masse, the anime is a flop and exposes the story as being dumb, etc.Be real with me, should I be worried? Has the game permanently lost momentum thanks to the story updates being dragged out due to the anime? Or can it recover? It's gnawing at my mind.
>>1490223Yes just quit. Goodbye.
>>1490225No, I'm here foreverI just don't want this high to end just yet
>>1490223I don't believe you're a real person. Post your lvl 90 account
>>1490223t. desperate chinky stinky
>>1489688>momoitoo much lag on an emulator unironically, the amount of projectiles slows it to 5fps
Aodama has a slot available again
>>1487211Oh, the guy who made this updated the helper so it's more convenient to place the items. Now you just choose the orientation of the item, and click on the grid where you found it instead of choosing the row and column independently.
>try out blue hovercraft>Wakamo and M.Arisu are both back units>C.Kotama gets the richochet instead and diesFuck, I'm really gonna have to double tank for this.
another daikessen another hc clear
Harekyan
Also mentioning here though it's on page13107 アオダマ (Aodama) currently has 1 open spot if you want to join a circle
>>1491201>>1490886Hmmm
4T'd blue armor insane Hovercraft. It was tough getting past phase 1 with a single team but I finally found something fairly reliable after testing mock battle a lot. Wakamo, Eimi, M.Arisu, Mika, and Utaha are UE40. Tsukuyo is 4*. Borrowed S.Chise is UE30.TL I used for team 1 / phase 1 is as follows (the rest of the teams were really simple in comparison):7 cost Fuuka7.5 (or slightly past 7) Wakamo Himari7 Tsukuyo (just do it after Tsukuyo's normal)8 Fuuka10 Chise4.5 Wakamo Himari4 Tsukuyo (after Tsukuyo's normal)Fuuka6 Wakamo HimariTsukuyo6 Fuuka8 Chise5 Wakamo Himari4 Tsukuyo (after Tsukuyo's normal)5 Fuuka6 Wakamo Himari (boss starts running away here)10 Tsukuyo (after catching up with boss)9 Fuuka9 Wakamo HimariChise7 Fuuka7 Wakamo Himari9 Eimi Tsukuyo Fuuka5 Wakamo Himari7 Tsukuyo Fuuka5 Wakamo Himari(Phase 2 transition)TsukuyoFuuka5 Wakamo HimariBig thanks to the person on my friend list who hasn't logged in in over a month but was the only one with a decently-invested S.Chise.
>>1491146Reminder that there's a limited title for clearing all 3 insanes
Oh boy where do i dump AP this weekEligmas are memeCredits/exp are abundant
>>1491244I'm taking advantage of this week to dump my AP on perma events.
>>1491245Never bothered with them, what do they even give
>>1491246A bit of eligma, 30 elephs for welfare students, and some low tier BDs/notes. It's not amazing but it's nice to get during slow times like hard x2.
>>1491243yea, but i'm too lazy to play BA for the past 3 months, i even skip joint drill
>dump credits and Trinity mats into ASS band alts>they suck and can't 1team 2nd phase on insane>end up not using them and just going double D.Hina because it just worksThe meta is boring
Any easy 1T insane comps for hovercraft?I just want coins
>yellowdouble mika>reddouble dhina>blueonly sometimes double wakamo
Neat
D.Hina is bugged this raid. In the second phase she has a chance of being stuck in focused mode indefinitely even after firing 3 times.
>>1491511Fielded her like 10 times and it didn't happen to me so it's probably rareAlso weird because there's no knockback, while the knockback in phase 1 didn't bug it.
>>1491477What is this?
>>14915553rd node in crafting chamber. 煌めき in 3rd node has a small chance of dropping character shards.
>>1491319just do in 2 teams since it's grand assault annd literally everyone else is using 2 teams instead of 1
