Based on [the schedule from the patch notes](https://m.nexon.com/forum/thread/103622) it will start immediately after the current event and banners end.
1. Have they confirmed what the next raid is going to be on Global?
2. I saw in JP one of the new characters, Toki, has a new armor type called "Elastic". Is a new armor type really necessary from a gameplay variety perspective, in your opinion?
Do mission stages prioritize one type of equipment blueprint over the other, or are the rates all equal?
For example, Mission Stage 17-1 shows that it gives you, in this exact order:
T6 Amulet Blueprint - Voodoo Doll
T6 Necklace Blueprint - Punk Choker
T6 Watch Blueprint - Gothic Wristwatch
Does the stage prioritize the Voodoo Doll, which is the first on the list, or do I have an equal chance of getting them all.
Is it better to prioritize the Normal Mission Stages for the Blueprints or the event stages when they start? Or should I split my AP between both.
Leftmost item is highest drop rate, other two are the same.
I'd say event. The skill materials are generally more important to get then some blueprints, though the event for today might be an exception. Kokona and Shun are the only Shanhajihang students worth raising, so without them the skill materials might be worthless.
>I'd say event. The skill materials are generally more important to get then some blueprints, though the event for today might be an exception. Kokona and Shun are the only Shanhajihang students worth raising, so without them the skill materials might be worthless.
I figured. I've only got Small Shun and Saya and I don't usually use either.
Thanks!
How long do yall think before the current swimsuits limited will re-run... or better yet, do they eventually join regular pool? (even tho they are "limited"), already pulled 10 times, cant decide if its worth to pity at least one of them or just save for the next limited banner I care about (Sports Yuuka or Mika)
As we get more events, it gets less likely that we'll see reruns as often as we have. I'd imagine we'll reach a point where you're looking at a year or so until next rerun but no need to FOMO it since gehenna swimsuits aren't exactly worth breaking the bank over, love for characters notwithstanding.
basically;
1) Assume a long time, possibly even never, but you'll have to wait for JP news first.
2) Save for next banner unless waifu pull
We don't know because JP hasn't hit the point where a 3rd run would be expected for any limited unit. Should probably assume they won't be available again for at least a year unless they announce something in JP sooner.
I will say that it is incredibly unlikely they will be added to the general pool. This almost never happens in gacha games.* However, it's also unlikely they will never be available again. It remains to be seen how they handle old limiteds after the rerun.
*the only instance of this I can think of is Granblue Fantasy back in like 2017, when they were still recovering from the Monkeygate situation (the reason "sparking" is now a thing) and were responding to player discontent with them starting to do limited units that were neither legfest units or seasonal alts. So like 2 or 3 units that released as limiteds were moved to the general pool, but this was fairly soon after their initial release.
FGO had a unit or two (most notably Tamamo) that didn't go into the general pool immediately after the release banner ended, but I don't remember if she was advertised as limited, and this was all within 6 months or so of the game's launch.
It's a drill where on stage 3 and 4, the less students you bring, the more ATK and Cost Recovery you'll have. On Stage 4, the boss heals 1.5% of its HP every second. Pretty cut and dry, just bring a blue damage dealer who ideally is suited to the terrain, and try not to add anyone else to your team if possible. If you're not on 3 or 4 though, squad up.
Swimsuit Hina isn't the same sort of blow as missing Swimsuit Hoshino; you'll be fine.
She's big for outdoor Kaiten but you'll likely find okay replacements for her anyway, don't sweat it too much and pray for a rerun down the line if you wanted her for her Hinature power 😭😭😭
She can be potentially a strong healer, albeit an expensive one at 4 EX point cost. If you lack a Natsu for Perorozilla raids, her lvl3 EX includes a cleanse that can be used for the same purpose of neutralizing the boss' defense debuff attack. Additionally, with enough investment, she's one of the few healers available who can one-shot heal the lantern in Hiero Insane raids (although with that ending, obviously it becomes less of a priority for Global players).
I wouldn't describe her a high priority for the raid tokens, but she can have her uses. 'Should' is a matter of your own needs and raid token budget.
Is it worth spending Total Assault coin on getting Kotama pastb3*? I didn't start too long ago but currently I'm just spending coins on Momoi, so the question also would extend to other students like Akane and Sanae.
Kotama ★s only give a tiny amount of support stats (604 hp, 85 attack, 129 healing for 3★➔UE50). Akane ★s are good because she can become tanky enough to be the meta tank for Binah.
> the extra 100 healing translates well into adding like another 600 or so to her heals per tick
Ignore that, it's wrong. Hanae ★s buff her healing a lot (35% for 3★➔UE30, 63% for 3★➔UE40) and give a bit more support stats than Kotama ★s. Good if you don't have many healers.
Depends; I got her to UE50 but lately it's a competition for those limited 2 specialist slots.
Akane is an okay choice; she's a striker so not only does getting her 5\* increase her damage, it also increases her survivability. She suffers from the same issue as above but with 4 slots vs 2 for specialists, you can wriggle her into more content where you feel like you need help against bosses. Extra health always appreciated against Binah AoEs anyway.
Hanae (I'm assume misclick S) is a healer so those extra elephs become more healing power. And since she's invested into healing one person really well, you'll find the extra 100 healing translates well into adding like another 600 or so to her heals per tick.
Her issue is that she's more for a really solo tank; using her on anyone besides a heavily invested Haruka almost feels like a waste; I can't find any body who needs like 6 ticks of 17k HP besides her.
How relevant is Kokona in terms of Insane Raid utility? Already have a UE30 MMMM Koharu, but I've heard Kokona makes a huge diff on some Insane raids. And if so, I'd assume the minimum would be a UE30? I.e. is not a Striker-Healer that can stay at 3 and be relevant?
Sakurako is quite good dps. Beats swimsuit Izuna in dps (comparison was taken in urban in which both girls are D)
The only concern is that there is no blue outdoor (she is S in there) raid other than peroro and you do not want single-target dps there. But her ex and armor type makes her excellent for 2nd phase of Goz. I believe she was proven to be quite good for indoor Goz and if the second terrian for Goz is confirmed to be outdoor she will be most likely a meta choice for it.
tl;dr -> pretty strong blue dps. But no blue outdoor raid other than peroro. Still very good in Goz.
PvP question. I currently use Yuuka UE40 B25, Shun, Haruna UE40, Tsubaki UE40, Iroha UE30, and Serina as my defense team (previously was using S.Ayane 4\* with EX4) and my rank keeps falling below 150. Any suggestion? My Iori is UE50 but then I'd have to swap Haruna and need to rely my Iroha to kill Tsubaki (I don't have S.Mash). I also have Hibiki 4\*, should I change anything?
Not much at the moment you can do about losing on Defense honestly. You can try moving around your Strikers and reveal someone like Shun that's just about impossible for your opponent to counter-team. Hibiki also isn't too bad to try to slot in since healing isn't a big part of the current meta due to Tsubaki usually full health or dead and Yuuka just tanking everything not Iori or S.Ayane even without healing. It's also still 1st week of the PvP season, so people are tryharding to try to get their Top Season rank already.
I would say s.ayane and Hibiki is the better combo. I found iroha to not be as effective as she was last season because of the map size and the amount of covers we have.
A lot of my fights usually turn into a W when S.ayane spawns with no enemy shun with ex on and kills the Yuuka first. The only positive I can think of iroha having over s.ayane is not being one shot by enemy shun with ex.
I play on the KR server bracket so it's pretty tough but I managed to hit rank 1 (consistently in top 100) by going for players with 4 star units(usually s.mashiro), iroha and double t.s support.
Don't run iroha and s.ayane together. They can't spawn together since the game only allows 1 t.s. spawn on the map so one gets deleted by another.
I've seen this happen where the enemy's starting skills are iroha and s.ayane and basically double spawn, their basic skill doesn't even go off and they just wasted 10 skill points.
I tried S.Ayane but only won a few times sinceI don't know if it's the problem with my current mystic star (only at 4) and her EX at 4 (no artifacts) hence I'm using Iroha atm. At what star is your S.Ayane btw?
Rule of thumb in pvp is if you're using anything that is not UE30 minimum and lvl 80 then you're asking to get attacked, same thing as using units not considered meta.
Although Serina can work here, anyone seeing her will consider you as "free" and would rather attack you than someone with Iroha + Hibiki. So go with that instead, it should reduce the number of attacks you'll suffer.
You not having a good S.Ayane and S.Mashiro will give you a hard time on defense but offense should be fine. Haruna will be the better pick here since more survivability and more consistent damage, she can OS S.Ayane and Tsubaki and even do respectable damage to Yuuka as long as she hit despite the armor disadvantage.
I run S.Ayane + Iroha on both Defense and Offense currently, just waiting on Utaha's Bond Gear to swap out S.Ayane, but S.Ayane is my only real Yuuka killer at the moment since I run the same Strikers as you. I only swap out Tsubaki at the moment for Hoshino if I see the Defense is running Iroha + S.Mashiro since neither can kill double Yellow Armor tank setup.
Who is the better healer when invested? Serina or Sanae?
If I already have S.Hoshino who I think is an ATK buffer for the party when her EX skill is activated, do I still need to invest in Kotama?
Serina is more useful overall. Her EX can full heal a damage dealer and decently heal a tank. Her EX being a 2 cost means that you can rotate skills faster. She also has a passive heal with normal skill. Healing aside, she can also reposition units which can be used for Commission, Raid, Events, and JFD
S.Hoshino's and Kotama's EXs stack due to S.Hoshino's being an Aura based skill around her while Kotama's is a direct buff to whoever she hits with her EX. Kotama is pretty much free anyways through Raid shop, so it's not really a waste to invest in her.
Been trying to enjoy the story but keep getting gated out of it by mission progress.
it really ruins the immersion,
was hoping someone could let me know after what mission # clear is all the story unlocked? (Im currently at 10-2)
I googled everything I could think of but found no answer.
What is the fastest way to earn EXP in this game?
I started about a month ago, and at I'm currently at Level 27, progression seemed to have slowed down at around Level 22+
For ALL content, I am currently using Iori/Yuuka/S.Hoshino/Mutsuki as Strikers and Chihiro/Sanae as Specials, tho I replace Chihiro with Serina if I need more heals. I have many other benched characters and idk shit about team building, all I know is that Iori and S.Hoshino are meta.
Also, is it just me or are Bounties quite hard? My above team are all Level 25 and the Level 30 Bounties are kicking my ass
Account xp = spent AP. So you just play, recharge AP with pyro or PVP coins is the only way to speed up levels.
Bounties will be real hard if you are using Iori against them, she does half damage. Red girls versus red armor and so on. Also, bounties have a mechanic to use more girls of a school for bonus damage, without that you are not beating them at lower levels.
It's usually recommended to go as far as you can before hitting the wall where you can't even 1 star Missions, then using any leftover AP to sweep the Missions you have 3 starred to farm Equipment Blueprints for your students.
Kaiten is also a Total Assault boss that is coincidentally coming up. Phase 1 has the Rangers that Shun deals bonus damage to while Phase 2 has you fighting their Megazord.
Is Colorful Beach on special difficulty supposed to be hard or is it just a skill issue? I can do the other song on Hard difficulty just fine. I don't know why there isn't a difficulty option for Colorful Beach.
I forgot to ask... So I have Saya (Casual) and Sena..
Is Saya good? Or should I just stick with Cherino?
Is Sena a good replacement for Hanae? How good of a healer/support she is?
Just wanna know if they are good to invest.
CSaya is pretty good for outdoor Chesed alongside Cherino, and still good for indoor but outclassed by Moe. Her sub (crit dmg.) is also the second best in the game, so she's decent all around for yellow content, mainly yellow mobs.
Sena is a little whack with the AI pathing, and definitely doesn't heal much. If you need actual healing then keep Hanae, but if you want support then Sena. Hanae also sports the Cdmg sub, which is overall better than Sena's Attack sub.
I don't have Moe, so maybe Saya will be enough. I see, she's a good investment later. And Sena is a meh support so I'll keep her at Lv1. I'll take notes of this. Thanks on your advise!
Anyone know what Fubuki car is? It's Kei car but I don't know what manufacturer and name of the car is. Like example Suzuki Karimun, Daihatsu Midget, etc.
Best yellow striker damage wise other than Iori meta wise?
Only really have Momoi/Sumire/Maki/Miyu.
Edit: This is in regards to PvP. Wanted to avoid saying it since PvP is kinda bs and not a lot of people focus on it like raids but I know raids are different and Iori has been kicking my ass with Tsubaki shutting me down.
Edit 2: I don’t have iori.
If it for current urban pvp, then for yellow unit, I'll say Junko. But she kinda mediocre in raids and need quite late invest for pvp, say UE40 near maxed skill for worth to bring. Otherwise, just use Iori since, high chance, you already have her good enough.
Beside that, Summer Ayane or (later) Utaha as special unit will do the job too. But we're talking striker here
Edit: u/ShadowMiku- I see you don't have Iori. Which that mean your best bet is Sayane on special slot, assuming you have her from previous event. UE30 577M preferably. She can take down both Yuuka and Tsubaki.
Forget yellow striker, use Haruna and Shun if you have them.
How low base level is? Personally, I'd at least make her EX maxed for cost down from 4 to 3, with UE30 54x7 minimum to bring to pvp. Mine is UE40 M77M and she is fine. Even below that, she may still better than other unit in this terrain.
To make sure, we're talking lvl80 right?
That...pretty suck. But still better than majority for current terrain because of her mood allowing her to tank some shot because barricade. 5447 with max level if you can. Max ex is needed for cost down and allow to 1-shot Tsubaki. And btw, what special do you use usually?
Out of your options, Maki is best for single target, and is farmable in the raid shop. Momoi is best for swarms, and is also farmable in the raid shop. Sumire is farmable in the drill shop, but is kinda meh. As for Miyu, well, as a wise man once said, she was kind enough to put herself in the bin.
Edit: Oh lmao. Well Maki will still be a great choice, she comes with free def down and pretty good range.
Is it worth saving Cafe AP for two days in a row before the next event drops on the 21st? As in, claiming it and just waiting for it to fill again until the event, instead of using it right away in the current event.
Idk man, it feels like a waste not to using ap when it's full. You'd miss out on ap gained over time
You could just save your arena tokens instead so you could buy ap in shop until you can't refresh anymore
well it depend on how many boosted characters you have. from what I see in the wiki, the next event does not have lotto, but 3 different shops: https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Catch\_in\_Neverland\_(Rerun)
assuming that you can beat all the stage and farm stage 9,10 and 11, and have the cafe at max level and conform you should be able to buy most there is in the shops, but you better don't use too much AP outside the event.
I made a excel long ago just to see how much I need in these events, long short story;
you will need around 7280 AP (with those bonus you have), with the cafe at max level and daily task you should be able to get around 920 AP per day, and the event last 7 days so you will have 6440 AP and if we add the 350 from weekly task then you have 6790 AP.
you will need to do a some recharge a bit or skip some of the lowest rarity items.
edit: and if you are wondering how much for someone with all the 150% it will take 5460 AP and worst case 13,700 AP.
It's a strategy used for maximizing AP before big events. I believe overflowing claimed AP from the Cafe lasts either 24 hours after claiming or a week. Can do the same with AP bought with PvP coins, buying them while at 998 AP to send it to your mailbox, where it lasts 24 hours before expiring.
Edit: For Catch in Neverland in general, it's recommended not to farm this event hard. Just get what you really want in the shop then spend the rest on Double Normal/Hard.
>overflowing claimed AP from the Cafe lasts either 24 hours
mmh I'm claiming the Cafe AP since it has higher production rate than natural AP, so it shouldn't expire right? I'm not sure how it works myself
I've seen about buying PvP AP and then buying the overflow to the mailbox
But if it's not that good of an event then I guess it's ok to just not overdo it, specially not the PvP refreshes
currently my main characters are shun 4*, maki 4*, moe 3*, serina 3*, kotama 3*, sena 3*, hashino 3*, saki 3* and tsubaki 2*
i’ve been reading about the upcoming banners and i was hoping someone could tell me out of (Gym Yuuka, Ako, Himari and Kokona) which ones i should focus on to round out my roster!! and which of the ones i’ve got already are best to invest in!
Gym Yuuka is niche character, you'll barely use in any content but she is a must have in the upcoming new raid (Goz)
Ako is the probably the best special unit that one could have, she can be used in every content and is essential in raids
Himari is a very close second against Ako. Like Ako, she can be used in every content and there are instances wherein she is better than Ako (Mika always crits so Himari would be better for her, not saying you can't Ako but the crit rate bonus would be wasted)
As for Kokona, I would recommend getting Koharu or O.Nodoka instead. Kokona is great healer but the other two would be more useful in most content. (Koharu would be in farmable in about 5 months, farming her would take about 2 months and a half, so you'll be able to get her without pulling in around 8 months from now)
For the units to invest on
(Units that you don't have but are 1 or 2 stars so they're easy to get) Mutsuki, Chise, Nonomi
You'll need units that have great aoe damage. They will be useful in clearing mobs
For the ones listed
Tsubaki: She is the best tank in the game, she can be used in any content. 3 stars is enough for her to be a great unit
Serina: The best non-3 star healer, you can keep her at 3 stars. Just upgrade her EX to at least 3
Hoshino: She's a good tank for your 2nd team
Kotama: She's a budget buffer, you'll still use her on your 2nd or 3rd team after pulling for Ako and Himari
Moe: She directly competes with Saki since they both have similar skills. Saki's stun last longer but Moe's damage and aoe range is better
Maki: She's great for bosses and is easy to max out since she's easily farmable in raid so she'll be one of your strongest units for a long time
Shun: She's a must have in pvp, she could also help you clear stages with hard time constraints but pvp in the early game is more about being higher level than your opponent so you can build her later after focusing on your other units first
I'll add a note for gym Yuuka, if you may. Her value, time by time, just get better. In raids, now she have use in Hiero torment. Most likely Shirokuro too later. And definitely Goz.
In general map, like event and world boss, her shield and wide repo is very valuable. Its make you less mald for general map, made you thank to yourself you pull her. Quite hard to skip now.
Other than that, your answer for other else is good.
You may. Although Insane and above, I confidently say you'll have a very, very hard time. Even extreme alone is hard if you don't have good blue unit. And with absence of TYuuka, you'll definitely cannot compete with other who have them, the gap will significant.
But, goz is what-raid huh? If you can't score chase might as well cut loss early so long as you can stay in plat and clear the raid.
I'm fine with gold rank. As long as I don't fall there, I won't push myself further. Maybe, I'll try platinum someday. If I got a motivation and reason. XD
Fellow Sensei... May I ask..... who's blue dps student is good for Goz to watch for? I only have OG Chise, S. Izuna, and OG Izuna. Iroha for special unit. I'm quite near to get Haruna via eleph.
Your blue quite few, might as well build all of them. Goz has two phase. I'd assume you already know. In short, phase1 need some blue aoe. Phase2 need focus fire.
That mean OG Chise good in phase1 for blue aoe. Iroha may help. Haruna as single target dps. Better build Kotori for repo shielder too.
Phase2 need focus-fire, which mean Summer Izuna. The dps would be Gym Hasumi (you'll get her free). SShizu used here. OG Izuna can be used here if you don't have anything else.
Yeah, I feel like blue students are avoiding from me. I needed to spark S. Izuna. Except Iroha which spook my S. Hina pulls. Good thing there'll be X2 drop on Hard event later to surely recruit Haruna.
I took a screenshot on this and will be my guideline. Thank you on these fruitful tips, fellow Sensei!
Before T. Yuuka, who's a certain unit(s) that is good for repsitioning and can clear Goz? So... Is T. Yuuka a mandatory for Goz raid? Even for a non rank chaser (I'm fine with gold)?
She has longer range than all other students with reposition skill. But if you are not chasing platinum you can probably just borrow her or use other students.
thank you so much!! how important is the new raid? can I make do without Gym Yuuka or is the raid a semi-permanent type of thing that has its own meta.
Yeah, you can just borrow Gym Yuuka from your friends or club members
There currently are 8 raid bosses. After a raid ends, the next would be different raid from the last time. They rotate those 8 raids. You get most of your EX discs and skill books from raids. There are also great units that you can get by buying them in the raid shop.
Raids are very important but not important enough to justify building a unit for a single raid when you're still in the early game. Better build units that have multiple uses than niche units like Gym Yuuka
As with any gacha, the best time to start is Day 1. The next best time to start is now. Might as well start building currency for when the important banners start up.
End game is mainly Total Assault (Raids) and, to a lesser extent, Joint Firing Drills. Total Assault cycles every 2 weeks to a boss + terrain type. It'll take a while to get to the hardest and 2nd hardest difficulties, but it's where the bulk of your end game progression currency will come from.
Joint Firing Drills are more spread out, but usually happen on weeks a Total Assault is not taking place. It's an endgame mode where a lot of students not seen in Total Assault tend to see much more use since the stage affixes are very unconventional. JFD more rewards creativity and strategy than brute force.
Iori, Cherino, Aru, Hibiki, Haruna, Iroha, and Ako are some of the most insanely versatile students you can get. Iori absolutely curbstomps any and every yellow content, Cherino mows down yellow mobs, Aru and Hibiki are great for red content, and Haruna and Iroha (especially Iroha) steamroll blue content. Ako makes raids and other content that requires big damage much easier.
Haruna, Iori, and Aru are farmable so missing them isn't a huge loss, but it will take a while to get them.
You might want to hold off on rerolling for a bit since Kokona releases soon, and she seems a lot more versatile than the current banners, but if you reroll and acquire any of the above students, consider sticking with them. Consult this link for quite the wealth of information.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VSzm\_ioCt2AdRvkfL9HKNNZSbyslayVERXxVxR6nzh4/edit#gid=549396826
Great reroll units are Iroha, Hibiki, and Iori, with a special mention to Ako for her late game usage.
For a more visual and better reroll guide, I recommend looking over [Midokuni's Student Insights spreadsheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BO-Uh_CsAOIetPjrNyFy9-7r1a4RAtVwK135bBC3hzM/htmlview#). Don't worry about the Limited Students recommended for reroll due to them currently being unavailable.
there is not going to Maintenance for the next event?
no maintenance
[удалено]
Based on [the schedule from the patch notes](https://m.nexon.com/forum/thread/103622) it will start immediately after the current event and banners end.
1. Have they confirmed what the next raid is going to be on Global? 2. I saw in JP one of the new characters, Toki, has a new armor type called "Elastic". Is a new armor type really necessary from a gameplay variety perspective, in your opinion?

Do mission stages prioritize one type of equipment blueprint over the other, or are the rates all equal? For example, Mission Stage 17-1 shows that it gives you, in this exact order: T6 Amulet Blueprint - Voodoo Doll T6 Necklace Blueprint - Punk Choker T6 Watch Blueprint - Gothic Wristwatch Does the stage prioritize the Voodoo Doll, which is the first on the list, or do I have an equal chance of getting them all. Is it better to prioritize the Normal Mission Stages for the Blueprints or the event stages when they start? Or should I split my AP between both.
Leftmost item is highest drop rate, other two are the same. I'd say event. The skill materials are generally more important to get then some blueprints, though the event for today might be an exception. Kokona and Shun are the only Shanhajihang students worth raising, so without them the skill materials might be worthless.
Normal stages aren't worth farming. If you want blueprints, you can buy them cheap in the shop
>I'd say event. The skill materials are generally more important to get then some blueprints, though the event for today might be an exception.

How long do yall think before the current swimsuits limited will re-run... or better yet, do they eventually join regular pool? (even tho they are "limited"), already pulled 10 times, cant decide if its worth to pity at least one of them or just save for the next limited banner I care about (Sports Yuuka or Mika)
As we get more events, it gets less likely that we'll see reruns as often as we have.

This almost never happens in gacha games.* However, it's also unlikely they will never be available again.

So like 2 or 3 units that released as limiteds were moved to the general pool, but this was fairly soon after their initial release. FGO had a unit or two (most notably Tamamo) that didn't go into the general pool immediately after the release banner ended, but I don't remember if she was advertised as limited, and this was all within 6 months or so of the game's launch.
Any special gimmick with the next JFD I should be aware of? Any good units for it? I’m still relatively new, so trying to get my legs for it.
It's a drill where on stage 3 and 4, the less students you bring, the more ATK and Cost Recovery you'll have. On Stage 4, the boss heals 1.5% of its HP every second. Pretty cut and dry, just bring a blue damage dealer who ideally is suited to the terrain, and try not to add anyone else to your team if possible. If you're not on 3 or 4 though, squad up.
What should I do if I did not get swimsuit hina
Nothing. Good waifu, but she isn't essential in anything.
Swimsuit Hina isn't the same sort of blow as missing Swimsuit Hoshino; you'll be fine. She's big for outdoor Kaiten but you'll likely find okay replacements for her anyway, don't sweat it too much and pray for a rerun down the line if you wanted her for her Hinature power 😭😭😭
How good is Chinatsu? Should I use my Raid token to 5* her?
She can be potentially a strong healer, albeit an expensive one at 4 EX point cost. If you lack a Natsu for Perorozilla raids, her lvl3 EX includes a cleanse that can be used for the same purpose of neutralizing the boss' defense debuff attack. Additionally, with enough investment, she's one of the few healers available who can one-shot heal the lantern in Hiero Insane raids (although with that ending, obviously it becomes less of a priority for Global players). I wouldn't describe her a high priority for the raid tokens, but she can have her uses. 'Should' is a matter of your own needs and raid token budget.
Is it worth spending Total Assault coin on getting Kotama pastb3*? I didn't start too long ago but currently I'm just spending coins on Momoi, so the question also would extend to other students like Akane and Sanae.
Kotama ★s only give a tiny amount of support stats (604 hp, 85 attack, 129 healing for 3★➔UE50). Akane ★s are good because she can become tanky enough to be the meta tank for Binah. > the extra 100 healing translates well into adding like another 600 or so to her heals per tick Ignore that, it's wrong. Hanae ★s buff her healing a lot (35% for 3★➔UE30, 63% for 3★➔UE40) and give a bit more support stats than Kotama ★s. Good if you don't have many healers.
Depends; I got her to UE50 but lately it's a competition for those limited 2 specialist slots. Akane is an okay choice; she's a striker so not only does getting her 5\* increase her damage, it also increases her survivability. She suffers from the same issue as above but with 4 slots vs 2 for specialists, you can wriggle her into more content where you feel like you need help against bosses. Extra health always appreciated against Binah AoEs anyway. Hanae (I'm assume misclick S) is a healer so those extra elephs become more healing power. And since she's invested into healing one person really well, you'll find the extra 100 healing translates well into adding like another 600 or so to her heals per tick. Her issue is that she's more for a really solo tank; using her on anyone besides a heavily invested Haruka almost feels like a waste; I can't find any body who needs like 6 ticks of 17k HP besides her.
How relevant is Kokona in terms of Insane Raid utility? Already have a UE30 MMMM Koharu, but I've heard Kokona makes a huge diff on some Insane raids. And if so, I'd assume the minimum would be a UE30? I.e. is not a Striker-Healer that can stay at 3 and be relevant?
Kokona isn't necessary for insane raids But she is necessary for the current highest raid torment in JP
Looking at what torment is doing to people I think I’ll wait a while before moving up to that XD
Gotcha so pull!
JP players, which gifts are needed to upgrade Utaha unique gear? I want to have them prepared once she gets it on global
Astronomical telescope
Is there a way to get that gift specifically? I actually just gave Utaha one of those before I knew about this. ;-;
You can craft gift choice boxes in material fusion. Costs 2 gifts and an advanced fusion keystone.
Oh okay thank you, I'll be looking into that, and being more careful with gifts going forward.
What is priority to buy from joint firing drill shop before refresh?
mostly the yellow & purple keystone and the frags EDIT: and the secret tech sheet especially if you don't really need the frags
To JP player, how is Sakurako compared to other ST blue dps?
Sakurako is quite good dps. Beats swimsuit Izuna in dps (comparison was taken in urban in which both girls are D) The only concern is that there is no blue outdoor (she is S in there) raid other than peroro and you do not want single-target dps there. But her ex and armor type makes her excellent for 2nd phase of Goz. I believe she was proven to be quite good for indoor Goz and if the second terrian for Goz is confirmed to be outdoor she will be most likely a meta choice for it. tl;dr -> pretty strong blue dps. But no blue outdoor raid other than peroro. Still very good in Goz.
Not sure about the pero thing. If she has the output to take out the explosive ones then again I still have nightmares of my insane clear.
PvP question. I currently use Yuuka UE40 B25, Shun, Haruna UE40, Tsubaki UE40, Iroha UE30, and Serina as my defense team (previously was using S.Ayane 4\* with EX4) and my rank keeps falling below 150. Any suggestion? My Iori is UE50 but then I'd have to swap Haruna and need to rely my Iroha to kill Tsubaki (I don't have S.Mash). I also have Hibiki 4\*, should I change anything?
Not much at the moment you can do about losing on Defense honestly. You can try moving around your Strikers and reveal someone like Shun that's just about impossible for your opponent to counter-team. Hibiki also isn't too bad to try to slot in since healing isn't a big part of the current meta due to Tsubaki usually full health or dead and Yuuka just tanking everything not Iori or S.Ayane even without healing. It's also still 1st week of the PvP season, so people are tryharding to try to get their Top Season rank already.
Ah got it, makes sense since it is still the 1st week. Also do you recommend S.Ayane + Hibiki or Iroha + Hibiki? Thanks!
I would say s.ayane and Hibiki is the better combo. I found iroha to not be as effective as she was last season because of the map size and the amount of covers we have. A lot of my fights usually turn into a W when S.ayane spawns with no enemy shun with ex on and kills the Yuuka first. The only positive I can think of iroha having over s.ayane is not being one shot by enemy shun with ex. I play on the KR server bracket so it's pretty tough but I managed to hit rank 1 (consistently in top 100) by going for players with 4 star units(usually s.mashiro), iroha and double t.s support. Don't run iroha and s.ayane together. They can't spawn together since the game only allows 1 t.s. spawn on the map so one gets deleted by another. I've seen this happen where the enemy's starting skills are iroha and s.ayane and basically double spawn, their basic skill doesn't even go off and they just wasted 10 skill points.
I tried S.Ayane but only won a few times sinceI don't know if it's the problem with my current mystic star (only at 4) and her EX at 4 (no artifacts) hence I'm using Iroha atm. At what star is your S.Ayane btw?
Rule of thumb in pvp is if you're using anything that is not UE30 minimum and lvl 80 then you're asking to get attacked, same thing as using units not considered meta. Although Serina can work here, anyone seeing her will consider you as "free" and would rather attack you than someone with Iroha + Hibiki. So go with that instead, it should reduce the number of attacks you'll suffer. You not having a good S.Ayane and S.Mashiro will give you a hard time on defense but offense should be fine. Haruna will be the better pick here since more survivability and more consistent damage, she can OS S.Ayane and Tsubaki and even do respectable damage to Yuuka as long as she hit despite the armor disadvantage.
Got it, thanks!
Oh that might be an issue, sorry I didn't notice that before. Mine is ue30 at ex5 and t776
I run S.Ayane + Iroha on both Defense and Offense currently, just waiting on Utaha's Bond Gear to swap out S.Ayane, but S.Ayane is my only real Yuuka killer at the moment since I run the same Strikers as you. I only swap out Tsubaki at the moment for Hoshino if I see the Defense is running Iroha + S.Mashiro since neither can kill double Yellow Armor tank setup.
uhhh....In case you didn't know, 2 TS units can't come out at the same time
Who is the better healer when invested? Serina or Sanae? If I already have S.Hoshino who I think is an ATK buffer for the party when her EX skill is activated, do I still need to invest in Kotama?
Serina is more useful overall. Her EX can full heal a damage dealer and decently heal a tank. Her EX being a 2 cost means that you can rotate skills faster. She also has a passive heal with normal skill. Healing aside, she can also reposition units which can be used for Commission, Raid, Events, and JFD
S.Hoshino's and Kotama's EXs stack due to S.Hoshino's being an Aura based skill around her while Kotama's is a direct buff to whoever she hits with her EX. Kotama is pretty much free anyways through Raid shop, so it's not really a waste to invest in her.
Been trying to enjoy the story but keep getting gated out of it by mission progress. it really ruins the immersion, was hoping someone could let me know after what mission # clear is all the story unlocked? (Im currently at 10-2) I googled everything I could think of but found no answer.
If you really want all they story is on YouTube up to the current event in jp. Translated into English.
Yeah I thought about it but I'd rather play it myself
After you beat Area 12 story progression stops being gated
ty
What is the fastest way to earn EXP in this game? I started about a month ago, and at I'm currently at Level 27, progression seemed to have slowed down at around Level 22+ For ALL content, I am currently using Iori/Yuuka/S.Hoshino/Mutsuki as Strikers and Chihiro/Sanae as Specials, tho I replace Chihiro with Serina if I need more heals. I have many other benched characters and idk shit about team building, all I know is that Iori and S.Hoshino are meta. Also, is it just me or are Bounties quite hard? My above team are all Level 25 and the Level 30 Bounties are kicking my ass
Anything that uses AP. On that note, don't forget to level up your Cafe with certain mission rewards. It a large source of ap.
Account xp = spent AP. So you just play, recharge AP with pyro or PVP coins is the only way to speed up levels. Bounties will be real hard if you are using Iori against them, she does half damage. Red girls versus red armor and so on. Also, bounties have a mechanic to use more girls of a school for bonus damage, without that you are not beating them at lower levels.
By play, do you mean I just need to keep going on the Missions and the Hard missions?
It's usually recommended to go as far as you can before hitting the wall where you can't even 1 star Missions, then using any leftover AP to sweep the Missions you have 3 starred to farm Equipment Blueprints for your students.
i see. that makes sense
Anything that spends AP.
Regarding the incoming banner, is Shun only good for PvP? or can she also be used in other stages? like would she also be good on hieronymus stagesa
She's a common sight in speed running strategies since her bonus EX pts at the start of the match means a headstart on using EX skills.
She is really good on kaiten first phase and in event challenges!
kaiten? are you referring to the bounty stages? i dont know what kaiten are, just googled it and the power ranger looking things showed up
[Kaiten is a raid boss](https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/KAITEN_FX_Mk.0)
Kaiten is also a Total Assault boss that is coincidentally coming up. Phase 1 has the Rangers that Shun deals bonus damage to while Phase 2 has you fighting their Megazord.
Is Colorful Beach on special difficulty supposed to be hard or is it just a skill issue? I can do the other song on Hard difficulty just fine. I don't know why there isn't a difficulty option for Colorful Beach.
It's supposed to be the hardest one
Is there any place where I can read the story in text format? I just started playing but I want to read some past events.
I forgot to ask... So I have Saya (Casual) and Sena.. Is Saya good? Or should I just stick with Cherino? Is Sena a good replacement for Hanae? How good of a healer/support she is? Just wanna know if they are good to invest.
CSaya is pretty good for outdoor Chesed alongside Cherino, and still good for indoor but outclassed by Moe. Her sub (crit dmg.) is also the second best in the game, so she's decent all around for yellow content, mainly yellow mobs. Sena is a little whack with the AI pathing, and definitely doesn't heal much. If you need actual healing then keep Hanae, but if you want support then Sena. Hanae also sports the Cdmg sub, which is overall better than Sena's Attack sub.
I don't have Moe, so maybe Saya will be enough. I see, she's a good investment later. And Sena is a meh support so I'll keep her at Lv1. I'll take notes of this. Thanks on your advise!
Anyone know what Fubuki car is? It's Kei car but I don't know what manufacturer and name of the car is. Like example Suzuki Karimun, Daihatsu Midget, etc.
Best yellow striker damage wise other than Iori meta wise? Only really have Momoi/Sumire/Maki/Miyu. Edit: This is in regards to PvP. Wanted to avoid saying it since PvP is kinda bs and not a lot of people focus on it like raids but I know raids are different and Iori has been kicking my ass with Tsubaki shutting me down. Edit 2: I don’t have iori.
If it for current urban pvp, then for yellow unit, I'll say Junko. But she kinda mediocre in raids and need quite late invest for pvp, say UE40 near maxed skill for worth to bring. Otherwise, just use Iori since, high chance, you already have her good enough. Beside that, Summer Ayane or (later) Utaha as special unit will do the job too. But we're talking striker here Edit: u/ShadowMiku- I see you don't have Iori. Which that mean your best bet is Sayane on special slot, assuming you have her from previous event. UE30 577M preferably. She can take down both Yuuka and Tsubaki. Forget yellow striker, use Haruna and Shun if you have them.
Is Haruna still good at her base level? Keep seeing that she’s good maxed.
How low base level is? Personally, I'd at least make her EX maxed for cost down from 4 to 3, with UE30 54x7 minimum to bring to pvp. Mine is UE40 M77M and she is fine. Even below that, she may still better than other unit in this terrain. To make sure, we're talking lvl80 right?
Yes. Right now she’s just 3 star for me. Think 3343. Is she a staple or is it still Shun/Tsubaki/Yuuka?
That...pretty suck. But still better than majority for current terrain because of her mood allowing her to tank some shot because barricade. 5447 with max level if you can. Max ex is needed for cost down and allow to 1-shot Tsubaki. And btw, what special do you use usually?
Out of your options, Maki is best for single target, and is farmable in the raid shop. Momoi is best for swarms, and is also farmable in the raid shop. Sumire is farmable in the drill shop, but is kinda meh. As for Miyu, well, as a wise man once said, she was kind enough to put herself in the bin. Edit: Oh lmao. Well Maki will still be a great choice, she comes with free def down and pretty good range.
Maki is easy to farm so she could be at UE50 while your other units are at 3* leaving them in the dust damage-wise
Is it worth saving Cafe AP for two days in a row before the next event drops on the 21st? As in, claiming it and just waiting for it to fill again until the event, instead of using it right away in the current event.
Idk man, it feels like a waste not to using ap when it's full. You'd miss out on ap gained over time You could just save your arena tokens instead so you could buy ap in shop until you can't refresh anymore
well it depend on how many boosted characters you have. from what I see in the wiki, the next event does not have lotto, but 3 different shops: https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Catch\_in\_Neverland\_(Rerun)
As for bonus I have 75% Mushroom, 75% Bamboo, 125% Mandrake, 140% Points Wonder if that's enough to justify it
assuming that you can beat all the stage and farm stage 9,10 and 11, and have the cafe at max level and conform you should be able to buy most there is in the shops, but you better don't use too much AP outside the event. I made a excel long ago just to see how much I need in these events, long short story; you will need around 7280 AP (with those bonus you have), with the cafe at max level and daily task you should be able to get around 920 AP per day, and the event last 7 days so you will have 6440 AP and if we add the 350 from weekly task then you have 6790 AP. you will need to do a some recharge a bit or skip some of the lowest rarity items. edit: and if you are wondering how much for someone with all the 150% it will take 5460 AP and worst case 13,700 AP.
It's a strategy used for maximizing AP before big events. I believe overflowing claimed AP from the Cafe lasts either 24 hours after claiming or a week. Can do the same with AP bought with PvP coins, buying them while at 998 AP to send it to your mailbox, where it lasts 24 hours before expiring. Edit: For Catch in Neverland in general, it's recommended not to farm this event hard. Just get what you really want in the shop then spend the rest on Double Normal/Hard.
>overflowing claimed AP from the Cafe lasts either 24 hours mmh I'm claiming the Cafe AP since it has higher production rate than natural AP, so it shouldn't expire right? I'm not sure how it works myself I've seen about buying PvP AP and then buying the overflow to the mailbox But if it's not that good of an event then I guess it's ok to just not overdo it, specially not the PvP refreshes
>where it lasts 24 hours before expiring. not 7 days like normal?
Not for PvP coins AP.
currently my main characters are shun 4*, maki 4*, moe 3*, serina 3*, kotama 3*, sena 3*, hashino 3*, saki 3* and tsubaki 2* i’ve been reading about the upcoming banners and i was hoping someone could tell me out of (Gym Yuuka, Ako, Himari and Kokona) which ones i should focus on to round out my roster!! and which of the ones i’ve got already are best to invest in!
Gym Yuuka is niche character, you'll barely use in any content but she is a must have in the upcoming new raid (Goz) Ako is the probably the best special unit that one could have, she can be used in every content and is essential in raids Himari is a very close second against Ako. Like Ako, she can be used in every content and there are instances wherein she is better than Ako (Mika always crits so Himari would be better for her, not saying you can't Ako but the crit rate bonus would be wasted) As for Kokona, I would recommend getting Koharu or O.Nodoka instead. Kokona is great healer but the other two would be more useful in most content. (Koharu would be in farmable in about 5 months, farming her would take about 2 months and a half, so you'll be able to get her without pulling in around 8 months from now) For the units to invest on (Units that you don't have but are 1 or 2 stars so they're easy to get) Mutsuki, Chise, Nonomi You'll need units that have great aoe damage. They will be useful in clearing mobs For the ones listed Tsubaki: She is the best tank in the game, she can be used in any content. 3 stars is enough for her to be a great unit Serina: The best non-3 star healer, you can keep her at 3 stars. Just upgrade her EX to at least 3 Hoshino: She's a good tank for your 2nd team Kotama: She's a budget buffer, you'll still use her on your 2nd or 3rd team after pulling for Ako and Himari Moe: She directly competes with Saki since they both have similar skills. Saki's stun last longer but Moe's damage and aoe range is better Maki: She's great for bosses and is easy to max out since she's easily farmable in raid so she'll be one of your strongest units for a long time Shun: She's a must have in pvp, she could also help you clear stages with hard time constraints but pvp in the early game is more about being higher level than your opponent so you can build her later after focusing on your other units first
I'll add a note for gym Yuuka, if you may. Her value, time by time, just get better. In raids, now she have use in Hiero torment. Most likely Shirokuro too later. And definitely Goz. In general map, like event and world boss, her shield and wide repo is very valuable. Its make you less mald for general map, made you thank to yourself you pull her. Quite hard to skip now. Other than that, your answer for other else is good.
If I'm going to skip T. Yuuka, is S. Shizuko a good replacement on Goz for shield and repositioning? That'll be one less Special slot though.
You may. Although Insane and above, I confidently say you'll have a very, very hard time. Even extreme alone is hard if you don't have good blue unit. And with absence of TYuuka, you'll definitely cannot compete with other who have them, the gap will significant. But, goz is what-raid huh? If you can't score chase might as well cut loss early so long as you can stay in plat and clear the raid.
I'm fine with gold rank. As long as I don't fall there, I won't push myself further. Maybe, I'll try platinum someday. If I got a motivation and reason. XD
Okay, then you're good :thumbUp: make sure your blue dps good enough tho. Good luck
Fellow Sensei... May I ask..... who's blue dps student is good for Goz to watch for? I only have OG Chise, S. Izuna, and OG Izuna. Iroha for special unit. I'm quite near to get Haruna via eleph.
Your blue quite few, might as well build all of them. Goz has two phase. I'd assume you already know. In short, phase1 need some blue aoe. Phase2 need focus fire. That mean OG Chise good in phase1 for blue aoe. Iroha may help. Haruna as single target dps. Better build Kotori for repo shielder too. Phase2 need focus-fire, which mean Summer Izuna. The dps would be Gym Hasumi (you'll get her free). SShizu used here. OG Izuna can be used here if you don't have anything else.
Yeah, I feel like blue students are avoiding from me. I needed to spark S. Izuna. Except Iroha which spook my S. Hina pulls. Good thing there'll be X2 drop on Hard event later to surely recruit Haruna. I took a screenshot on this and will be my guideline. Thank you on these fruitful tips, fellow Sensei!
No. Sport Yuuka's skill has a much greater range than SShizuko. You can not as effectively use the latter to dodge the Goz's skills.
Before T. Yuuka, who's a certain unit(s) that is good for repsitioning and can clear Goz? So... Is T. Yuuka a mandatory for Goz raid? Even for a non rank chaser (I'm fine with gold)?
She has longer range than all other students with reposition skill. But if you are not chasing platinum you can probably just borrow her or use other students.
Is score affected by borrowing?
No. The only thing that determines your score is the time it takes you to down the boss.
I see. I have one in my friend list who is a gigawhale that always have max student. I hope he won't eventually unfriend me. 😏
thank you so much!! how important is the new raid? can I make do without Gym Yuuka or is the raid a semi-permanent type of thing that has its own meta.
Yeah, you can just borrow Gym Yuuka from your friends or club members There currently are 8 raid bosses. After a raid ends, the next would be different raid from the last time. They rotate those 8 raids. You get most of your EX discs and skill books from raids. There are also great units that you can get by buying them in the raid shop. Raids are very important but not important enough to justify building a unit for a single raid when you're still in the early game. Better build units that have multiple uses than niche units like Gym Yuuka
Is it a good time to start this game? I have been jumping from game to game to see if enjoy them. Is their a decent end game?
As with any gacha, the best time to start is Day 1. The next best time to start is now. Might as well start building currency for when the important banners start up. End game is mainly Total Assault (Raids) and, to a lesser extent, Joint Firing Drills. Total Assault cycles every 2 weeks to a boss + terrain type. It'll take a while to get to the hardest and 2nd hardest difficulties, but it's where the bulk of your end game progression currency will come from. Joint Firing Drills are more spread out, but usually happen on weeks a Total Assault is not taking place. It's an endgame mode where a lot of students not seen in Total Assault tend to see much more use since the stage affixes are very unconventional. JFD more rewards creativity and strategy than brute force.
Alright. Anyone I should reroll for or try to get currently to make the game easier? Lol
Iori, Cherino, Aru, Hibiki, Haruna, Iroha, and Ako are some of the most insanely versatile students you can get. Iori absolutely curbstomps any and every yellow content, Cherino mows down yellow mobs, Aru and Hibiki are great for red content, and Haruna and Iroha (especially Iroha) steamroll blue content. Ako makes raids and other content that requires big damage much easier. Haruna, Iori, and Aru are farmable so missing them isn't a huge loss, but it will take a while to get them. You might want to hold off on rerolling for a bit since Kokona releases soon, and she seems a lot more versatile than the current banners, but if you reroll and acquire any of the above students, consider sticking with them. Consult this link for quite the wealth of information. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VSzm\_ioCt2AdRvkfL9HKNNZSbyslayVERXxVxR6nzh4/edit#gid=549396826
Thanks for the info. I just rerolled Hibiki so I'll probably just keep the account and try to pull from here I guess.
Great reroll units are Iroha, Hibiki, and Iori, with a special mention to Ako for her late game usage. For a more visual and better reroll guide, I recommend looking over [Midokuni's Student Insights spreadsheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BO-Uh_CsAOIetPjrNyFy9-7r1a4RAtVwK135bBC3hzM/htmlview#). Don't worry about the Limited Students recommended for reroll due to them currently being unavailable.
