Damn, so this is what they meant by all the Noa NTR memes...
I should probably figure the magic sweet spot out before the actual difficulties
Could just take S.Izuna and avoid all that with Focus Fire
Oh wait Noa has it too nvm
I tried to clear hardcore with a borrowed student, but she alone sadly isn't enough to do the job and can't even get through the first stage. Guess I'll stick to doing very hard.

There is a black dot to tell which one is real.
I hope 14,2M is safe, it seems like this raid will get pretty low scores
Didn't roll the rate up, who's the better of the two?
Mari is looking like a strong Hiero option if your Koharu isn't decked out already, Yuuka seems good in general but great for Goz, with Insane opening up today we'll see if she's shining or not though later
I don't even have Koharu, which is why I was considering grabbing her. Guess I'll wait until later to decide.
frick I can't figure out the right one to save my life.
annoying raid.
?t=36
If you look at his cards like here you can tell, look for the one with black cards between the middle and right-most
I'm aware about the mechanics but it's soo small. maybe the phone is filtering me
Ah my bad then, can feel where you're coming from with how hard it is to see on mine
Between Koharu, Kokona and Mari you've got some options for Hiero now. If you have none of them Mari isn't a bad choice. Koharu will be on rate-up right after this set though, I'd just make sure I had a spark saved incase Himari comes out cracked right after
I do have Kokona, honestly forgot about her ability to heal.
>I'd just make sure I had a spark saved incase Himari comes out cracked right after
Too late for that, the spark is already done, I just haven't picked my spark character.
I personally keep my eye on the left one. If you see a black dot fly there, that means that's where he is. If not, you can figure it out in a few seconds due to autoattacks.
The dot can be seen in the middle and the right as well if that's where he's going but it's harder for me to notice
>uses sYuuka EX
>dps ends up on front
wtf, they have to optimize this
huh, sayane is showing up on insane clears
also shoshino, as expected
>sayane
Alright, that's unexpected
An oCherino too, guess it's still being messed around with
>top 50 use s.hoshino
>i don't have s.izuna so i can't do 2t insane
guess i'll commit suicide
noa? her only purpose seems to be apply focus fire debuff since goz have only 100 def.
i don't have noa 🙁
>still can’t tell which one is real with small ass phone screen
I thought this was a mobile friendly game.
Fakes throw out red playing cards the real one throws black
the window is pretty small, and i swear one of the other fakes was not throwing out red cards
This. There are 2 frickers that throwing out black cards
>we'll finally give you the ability to set starting EX skills to eliminate the restart spam
>but in exchange we'll make the next raid a total RNG fest
You rike?
It's not that bad on EX since I just stare really hard at the left side initially, then the next shuffle I don't even need to look for the dot since my students are repositioned already. I imagine catching it on the second one is a pain in the ass on Insane though.
yeah I brought nutsuki yesterday but then she wasn't even worth using other than to cycle in p2 if I'm skipping Yuuka. Used Yuuka, Wakamo, Ako, Hasumi as the cycle with Iroha statstick and the replaceable nutsuki
I'll still take it over resetting for skills...
if you're having a hard time reading the cards and if you're planning to run wakamo in phase 2, you can track where Goz is going by marking him with Wakamo's EX once his clones disappear
using hasumi's EX right before he teleports and spawn clones also work but that's not the only RNG in town
I feel like I must be missing something because I am NOT doing any kind of good damage in phase 1 despite having pretty much whoever you could want for it. Are you supposed to quickly focus fire on Goz and then just tank the mooks or something?
no, autoattack without focus fire to kill them or nymutsuki EX to oneshot them, you don't want them to break your shields
tbh even if I mostly ignore them I don't tend to have a problem in phase 1 until a few seconds are left, even.
I'll keep experimenting with non-meta setups.
>top ranker is 23.9m
Called it, expect having few 24.5m clears in the next few days
they should have made the free unit someone that can cast focus fire but noooooooooooooooooooo gotta rake in the money somehow
even 14m should be pretty safe, insane is still a huge rng fest
Whats an easy ex team?
sazusa/sizuna/wakamo/sphasumi + ako/sshizuko
still have no idea what EX rotation is more optimal but reduce sshizuko EX usage and tank hits if you want to squeeze in more damage
sphasumi EX + ako EX + sshizuko normal hit like a truck
going to skip insane this time unless people found some easy way to cheese it
for extreme
s shizuko > wakamo at 9-10 cost > ako + sphasumi, repeat twice in p1, critfishing allows you to skip the double train
holding down sizuna EX will slow down time so you can see the cards, pray for rng for the safe spots
sizuna > sshizuko (optional) > wakamo at 9-10 cost > ako + sphasumi
all are UE1 except sphasumi and borrowed sazusa
Personally I run this and it's really easy to work with. Honestly I barely paid attention for this score/rank
Run indoor heavy blue hitter anon. The mobs die really fast in ex because of sYuuka so running nyMutsuki just slow you down.
Do you even need tanks in this raid? Not sure about Insane, but it feels like the damage is fully dictated by the existence of shields, you take like super minor damage with it on and massive damage without
A tank serves as a wall that you'll want depending on the team (at least if you lack blue armored students)
Slowly figuring out a safer strat, I guess. As usual meta seems to be leaning heavily on risky moves like bringing red armor students. You CAN theoretically keep those students alive consistently, but in practice since you need to move around things get weird. Yellow armor students aren't much better (my max Iori dies even if she has a shield up to Insane Goz's big blue attack).
I think I will indeed need to level fat free bird. Other than that your girls really hardly need any healing so long as shields are kept up, huh. I think I may be able to 3T once my SpHasumi is max level (tomorrow?) though I'm not sure what I'll do for a third team. Maybe some Perorodzilla BS where I bring Ui and hope she doesn't die while she keeps Alice and BKarin buffed.
>mfw you can clear p2 by buffing s.izuna's ex
buff with what
Just Ako
Christ, Hasumi is ludicrously powerful
>sTsurugi
Was seeing her a bit, started too late for her and sAzusa so been trying to figure out who'd be good for a 2t insane if it comes down to EX not cutting it near the end. Well past sUtaha, but I'm kinda burnt on Millenium mats
But all the same, glad to see sHasumi doing the numbers we expected
Okay here we go
20,233,916 on 3T. A pretty awful score but w/e
Iori pulling her weight despite not being blue
Every fricking time
>1 MILLION points less in actual due to RNG
awesome
Whatever now I know how to do it. It's not too bad overall.
(S)Izuna should be mostly fine in part 1 and 2 so long as you keep shielding her for the big stuff. For mooks she'll tank fine enough
it's his targeted bomb right before the train hit, and also the his autoattacks
tempted to bring mari but then wouldn't have enough dps to 1T p1
Maybe I've been lucky but for my formation he just targets Yuuka with that autoattack, and eventually I'm basically shielded the whole time so it's fine.
>UE kaede
damn thats a worse brick than the UE Basuna guy
would be great if goz stop targeting izuna in p1
I hope EX is enough for plat...
I think an EX clear can still be a plat but it'll be fairly competitive
my hatred toward GOZ is immeasurable
lol u mad? this is the new raid you've all been waiting for!
he cute but he nasty
Gozu on deez nuts
Are there clears using Hinata?
there are, Goz is big enough to the point you can fit all Hinata's ex but the she's crit reliant, worse than S.Hasumi since she's more unstable than S.Hasumi.
New cheap comp if you have S.Izuna and Nymutsuki
forgot about stsurugi having blue armor, guess that's more comfy than using a dps to facetank the mooks
Yuuka/Shizuko repo really doesn't seem reliable for picking a clone to target huh
At least if you have too many middle/back attackers so they all spread back to the center even if you try to push them left or right
Guess I really should've rolled for the blue lock-on girls, oh well
center and right is easy
?t=188
it's the left one that doesnt guarantee all of them will AA
i just reset the start of p2 when goz doesn't spawn on the right
>blue lock-on girls
huh?
Whoops, forgot status was called concentrated fire/focus fire in BA, been playing too many other games where similar stuff is called target lock/lock on
Any videos or strats if I want to speedrun or minmax EX? I want to plat but don't want to bother with INS
>can't clear insane
>need to luckshit crits with hasumi for 1T EX
I can't fricking believe this is worse than fricking kaiten and I don't even need to reset for initial EX rotation anymore
14.1m might just end up being barely safe for plat
I hope so, I should be able to improve score a bit more if I critfish harder; p2 I came up just short of finishing him before he shuffled again
>got ~14.3mil at first day
>fully upgradeded everyone later but can't reach 14.3 anymore
I don't even know what I'm doing wrong.
crits, i noticed sometimes i can get goz around 6.5m before transition to p2, most of the time it's around 7.5m
Why exactly are teams using SAyane instead of someone like Casual Saya or just Hibiki for passive buffs? Is it since her normal deals some damage?
In one vid I saw she was used to tank a nuke or something in P1
S.Ayane has higher attack than Hibiki.
You're still aiming 50, right?
I keep just rolling 5s and 6s with the 1500 so I may just finish it off if I'm close enough on the last day
on average, 1500 soft drinks can get you 2 rounds, so still need to grind some of them if you want to get 50 by the last day
giving up on insane, the positioning in p2 is fricking me over, and the skill bar is blocking the area i want to place sshizuko EX at
how many laps are you in yet anons?
didnt realize event is ending in less than 4 days and i doubt that anyone would be able to complete 50 laps without refreshing or the bonus 1500 sports drinks every day
38 on my end
trying some other variations, this one require to keep all other students within shoshino EX range which is a pain depending on how hard they get pushed back by the train
>rank 10k+
>do the same difficulty
>with the same characters
>and the exact same strategy
>rank up to 5400
So this is the power of Hasumi crits...
plat border at 14.1m
I don't get Goz EX - although my characters are admittedly underpowered (83, but mostly 3444-3777, T5-T7), this can't be the sole reason why I can barely deal 2kk before I die or time runs out.
I'm running Assist Wakamo, S. Izuna (4*), new Hasumi, S. Shizuko, Ako, and random characters for the last slot like S. Ojisan, Chise, and so on. I can neither stop S. Izuna from dying (Shizuko's shield doesn't last long, and she runs in front of the tank when I'm using one), nor can I deal any damage of note. I'm not even trying to 1T this (2-3T would be more than sufficient), but this configuration should supposedly work, and yet I can't even get Goz halfway to stage 2.
She's pretty much going to die if you aren't doing enough damage, you could try instead running your Ako and a capped borrowed Hasumi and just focusing on nailing him down in p1, then use your own on your second or third team and so on for the clear and save your Izuna for p2 since focusing damage is easier there
Thanks, I'll try doing that!
Tried, same, can't even get him down to 9kk with an Ako with M41M and a capped borrowed Hasumi. Have to clear out mobs with someone, or everyone dies - which means that I can't even use Hasumi often. I guess this raid is just not for me, just like Hiero.
Do you focus fire on phase 1 Goz and ignore the mobs? Because that's not the right thing to do and the mobs will melt you
If I focus on the mobs, I don't deal any damage to Goz (and, usually, die anyway), if I focus on both, I die faster... I might try to use both a healer and a shielder to improve survivability (one of either is not enough for me, clearly), but then the damage just ain't gonna cut it... I'm honestly disappointed with myself, I was hoping that I'll get comfy 1-2T EX on all raids now, but alas.
I managed to 3T Goz in a mock battle, but I can't seem to repeat it on a real one. Got him to 6.2kk with the first team, which is barely manageable by the rest of my characters, but in a real battle can't get him below 7kk. Is this the crit problem?
On the last day I had time to experiment, so I just took Assist Wakamo instead of Assist Hasumi into my first team, resulting in a weird Wakamo-Tsubaki-Chise-Iori / Hanae-S.Shizuko party (well-raised Iori is broken even on a wrong color), got EX Goz down to 5kk, and then, surprisingly, got lucky enough to clear the rest with Sp.Hasumi-Haruna-S.Izuna-S.Ojisan / Kotama-Ako (honestly only used her as a tank 'cause everyone was too far away). I guess if my S.Izuna was better than 4* and with proper skill levels I could've tried to 1T, but alas, happy enough. Rank 27-28k, the usual sort of result for me.
How strong is your SShizuko? On Ex you should be able to maintain a rotation with close to 100% uptime with her shield and just ignore almost everything he does. My blue units seem weaker than yours (mostly at 70-75 because I'm lazy) and I'm able to do 1T EX pretty comfortably unless he RNG fricks me in phase 2. Running
>S Ojii/3* Wakamo/3* SAzusa/borrowing 5* SIzuna
>4* S.Shizuko/3* Ako
with rotation of Shizuko->SHoshi->Ako (Izuna)->SIzuna and ignoring the mobs. Subbing SHoshi for Wakamo when you don't need to refresh buff. No critfishing, usually get him to phase change around 2-2:30 left.
I'm assuming you're Akoing the Wakamo/Hasumi which might be making your rotation too slow to keep Shizuko's stuff up; could try spamming Izuna to rotate faster, or borrowing an Izuna and using your own blue in place of Wakamo.
>improved my EX score
>it was so small I didn't move up even a single rank
First time I've ever had that happen
Unpopular opinion, this insane raid is actually easier than peroro if you don't focus on score. You can beat it in two teams if you have at least N.Mutsuki, Wakamo, S.Izuna, and S.Hoshino. The only reason this looks harder is because Goz has 50% crit resist so you are malding harder in Goz than any raids you have experienced so far.
>50% crit resist
So THIS is why my Hasumi feels like she only has about 20% fricking crit rate, FRICK this bullshit.
>200k damage with no crit
>1.6m damage with crit
This game fricking sucks.
I have S.Izuna but she's completely unraised and spYuuka and Hasumi already wiped out my reports while previously S.Shizuko and base Izuna wiped out my Hyakkiyako items (schedule fricking when?). Running low on credits too, I'd have been screwed already if it wasn't for the apology handout.
So I'd have to do p1 with someone other than S.Izuna and rent her on p2.
There's no way I would do Insane every day but it's looking like I'm better off trying to clear it once rather than critfishing EX harder and harder to stay above the cutoff
24.5m score incoming thanks to C. Utaha and B. Akane on P1
>No sAzusa
>No cUtaha
>No sTsurugi
Wonder if I can just make a 2t happen with Chise or Haruna at this point, assuming bAkane will help that much
>bro just critfish 3 hours a day
>14.366m
>rank 4910
worst case scenario would be dropping by 1k rank daily for the next 3 days
to try to clear insane would require the p2 real goz + safe zone to be center/right, else sizuna EX can't reach the one on the left, pain in the ass with the rng
Nevermind, that was easier than doing Insane after all, I don't know why the frick I wasn't using S.Azusa before
Is she actually just the best 4th AA option in this terrain? Been leaving her out since the fat cat only has 100 def
current top of extreme (14.546m) is not even using sphasumi
sazusa/shoshino/sizuna/wakamo
this raid is dominated by limiteds
>team 1
>14.2m
>team 2
>14.2m
>team 3
>14.2m
Yeah, I'm not doing this anymore. It doesn't fricking matter what team, formation, or units I use, if I crit then I win and if I don't then I lose. I'm not going to get myself gambling addiction from this nonsense
Anyone have a UE50 Summer izuna to borrow?
Here you go, bro
Nice thanks
Definitely going to use on my runs today
ez 2T
not using sphasumi EX at all and just ako+izuna? might try that tomorrow, having issue with shield uptime
buffed izuna yeah
sphasumi ex i just cast to cycle skills when tsurugi didnt need it. might try arisu sphasumi next time
well that worked, thanks, 2nd team left goz at 3m, so a borrowed sizuna finished him off easily
now to do it on an actual run
What do you guys use for the first team? I really don't get Goz's first phase and I can't seem to get through it with only one team
yuuka > kotama > wakamo on goz > mutsuki to clear mobs + goz on repeat
basically you need yuuka + aoe + ST damage
barely got goz under 18m, sizuna can replace stsurugi if she's tanky enough for more damage
Thanks. I don't have NY Mutsuki, so I might have to compromise. I've been avoiding red armor units because I'm afraid they'll die just from a slight graze by the train, but it sounds like that's not the case. I'll try out insane tonight.
I don't know about others but when I used Wakamo in phase 1 she melted like butter despite being maxed out.
Couldn't just been the position, but idk
Just tested it right now and Wakamo does instantly die from the mobs. The splash attacks are dumb.
you would want nymutsuki to be able to clear all the mobs on wakamo's side right at the start
someone to deal with the mobs
someone to shield and/or reposition
DPS
NYMutsuki > Kotama > Yuuka > Izuna > Chise > Kotama > Yuuka Izuna > Chise etc. I rarely use NYMutsuki. In fact, I'd replace her but I'm not sure who else I could really use.
The mobs hardly do any damage and Goz's hitbox is enormous so Chise can deal with any wave aside from the one where a whole bunch spawn in, AND she deals hefty damage.
Other specialist is Hibiki since my SAyane isn't too built.
yuuka assualt
beeg
Man, Nikke really made it clear to me how burned out I am on the "cute anime girls, but semi-tacticool" aesthetic
Love T&A and love cunnies engaged in egregious violence, but seeing that game does nothing for me. But if BA or a game with similar cutesier aesthetics got a booty shooty I'd be all over it in a heartbeat
oh hey
finally did it, frick p2, for some reason without focus fire your students tend to move to the right
grats
a nifty trick is that you can cast s.izuna just before goz disappears (take note when he removes his own debuffs) and the new FF buff will still stick
You can try sHoshino comp.
not that anon but got any vids of that?
?t=190 jump to 3:10
he also demonstrates the s.izuna thing i mentioned
It's been over a year and I still enjoy this background and BGM. How is it so good?
Anyone have any 14.4m videos to copy?
tldr, bare minimum shielding, sphasumi critfishing, mechanics rng
>just crit lmao
Wonderful raid thank you nexon
that's the problem when everyone have a maxed out meta student, upcoming binah will be especially reliant on critfishing in insane for plat, i rather they rerun cheese/hod instead
Last push
Is the raid ending on reset or does it still have a day like the event
today is the last day, end in early morning reset jst
Not enough damage for part 1 or 2
It's over.
you can try a random yellow team to shave off 1m to get into p2
which ones dont melt within seconds to all those adds? cant even get an ex off with whatever units i put in after. 3 tanks and maki maybe frick ill keep trying
Gave up.
Ok which one is eziest here
No.38 and 41 aren't much work
I didn't even bother doing the final 3 raids
owari
>In the 9000ths this raid
Barely scraped by due to lazyness and not wanting to bother with ins
>almost 6k ins clears
for a new raid this is really surprising. i guess a lot of people rolled for spyuuka and/or s.izuna
free UE50 sphasumi helps a ton
and i guess people tends to roll for limited students more?
spmari and kokona does not have their use yet, can't heal mistakes when students would just be oneshotted by failing mechanics
Can't heal mistakes when they don't allow healing in the first place by introducing heal reduction mechanics
JP oficially has more players than every other server combined right now
How does that make you feel?
Feels backwards with how games die overtime, think we also had our most profitable month? Either way that's good
sport festival broke their revenue record, they got really lucky with back to back popular reruns/events since 1.5 anni
it show how incompetent they were up till the first anni, gamebreaking bugs and really slow content releases
NA is dead
EU EOS coming next year
Izuna worked really hard! Nin Nin!
incredible

What’s the gimmick of the current joint exercise?
Heal the dummy for more damage if I'm remembering right
>damage
Cost up woops
https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Joint_Firepower_Exercise#Assault_Exercise
>Ui's cost lowering counts as a buff
Lane. Anyway Hina and Mutsuki dominate this one. Aru is strong but less AoE hurts
>Lane
Er, lame*
Regen too, rip Hanae
Mari shields for rotation + protecting the frontliner got stripped too, given the "defense penetration" gimmick HP tank seems necessary
Yeah. Just use Mutsuki and borrow one. Can’t stand the nonsense 7 cost ex. And Hibiki is good too.
>2weeks duration of 2x commissions drop
>just 3 days for 2x hard drops
hard doubles are always really short in duration, no?
replacing hoshino with shoshino or evasion tank would be a better choice
pretty easy unless you want to get 242k
they always are, just funny when compared to an increased duration 2x commissions
it really is stupid considering the drop rates in hard mode aren't even good in my experience
I saved up a spark as a new player, when is the next opportune moment to use it?
New year limited banner if they are good or anni banner on feb or march.
Thanks, I'll make do with my current cuties until then.
HINA/
Fricking daylight savings time change, I was in the middle of my 3rd phase of joint exercise when reset happened. At least it gave me credit for the 2 teams I had used already.
Thank god we're back to JE that allows easier 130coins/ticket.
Does SHoshino actually work here somehow? I know the "no buffs" thing said some special effects were allowed
she does because her buff is field one
hm, then I'll try using her
broken as always
As expected of the strongest in Kivotos.
what the frick, I thought the buffstrip stage gimmick was primarily just to gimp her too
I guess the buff gets reapplied immediately when units walk in/out of the AoE normally so it probably just works like
https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Fortified_City_Eridu_Infiltration_Mission
Trying out a new automated guide missions export which should hopefully be reliable and cut down somewhat on the amount of manual work eventsanon has to do.
Also, here's to my son getting that vending machine interaction.
>arius bds
huh, was arius' alts in any of the datamines
None that I've seen but we are due a client update right before it goes live.
Azusa (Arius) i can feel it on my bones
beato (serafuku) soon
Seems too early for Arius alts, is there anyone else they can wedge in there? Most I can think of is Mika if they stretch a little and write around it, but would be surprised if they blew that load before NY/Anniv.
No buffs for specific comps this time, just functional debuffs on some characters.
>Buffs are instantly stripped
Hanae and other regen users on the dummy are out. Been seeing a decent amount of Kokona frontline + Hibiki/Saya etc backline damage slot if you're pressed for healers.
>Enemies have high def penetration
Seems to screw over middling HP, high def/regen tanks. SHoshi/Natsu/Gym Yuuka etc will likely take some heals away from the dummy, versus base Yuuka who can go the whole run without worrying about survival.
>Hanae and other regen users on the dummy are out.
Not quite. Hanae is definitely not good here (she can't even fully heal the first dummy even if she's maxed out) but she's still "okay" as "another healer".
Hanako and Atsuko both work, it seems because they use an AoE heal instead of a single target heal
funny thing is atsuko's smoke bomb apply a buff, but kept getting removed and reapplied
If you use Hatsune Miku's EX you'll trigger a nice fireworks with your students from the buff resets
wuh?
buh?
What's the strat for the current time attack thing?
Mutsuki/Hibiki/both Hinas/sIori are good damage dealers. Bring cheap healers for dummies. See
for actual special rules.
Contemplating pulling Koharu. Got a spark's worth of gems that I'd like to save up for NY, but Koharu seems pretty essential for a lot of things...
She's pretty strong, though we have more options now. I'd be careful there though, between the chance they actually release Himari the way she was mined and NY you don't want to be too low behind Koharu. She's amazing for Hiero but even with how nutty shoshino made past Urban there were Insane comps without her if you have those options
Huh, thought Sportsfes Yuuka would finally allow me to cheese Gehenna School Exchange D through blue tank + freeing up Serina's subslot for Shizuko/Nodoka. But turns out it's a surprising pain in the ass to figure out the magic pixel/teamcomp to make her jump forwards without pulling the entire team with her.
Fuuka's first airdrop also interacts really poorly with Yuuka since it drags all the enemies past her and they all run straight into my spawn, so assuming that means I need to kill Haruka somehow right after Kayoko so she drops the pot further back. No idea how to do that in 40-50 sec though. Maybe I can get Shunny to bond 25 and pray.
Atsuko seems really good for this challenge because she barely takes any damage and if she takes any then she just heals it off with her EX
Hello, Senseis.
I'm risemara'ing right now. I want to get Alice, I'm guessing right now is a good moment to do it? You get like 50 rolls right now, it seems.
Also, what's the best girl of all pickup banners right now?

Hello new shitposter, why did you post this in both /vg/ and here at the same time? You're probably just trying to start shit but I'll remind you anyway to read the OP and notice it says Japanese server. The global thread is over at /vg/.
I'm not a shitposter.
And I will admit my mistake at not reading the OP. Sorry.

Who is good for this time attack other than Hina and Mutsuki?
Both these seem really great for wave clearing then I draw a blank because large red AOEs seem kinda rare
Aru, Akari, Hibiki, Swimsuit Hina, NY Mutsuki
>google banned all the accounts I made back when I was buying the suptix and getting blocked after 1 purchase per account
Well frick. I'm reading now that in order to change your region you have to have a payment method from the new region, so I imagine they weren't liking me making a new JP account then using an American credit card. Looks like unless I switch to iOS or move to Japan I'm never going to be paying for JP games again.
Paypal works fine for me, if that's an option
Frick, I probably should have tried that on one of those accounts, then there shouldn't be any way for them to know I'm not really JP as long as I always use a VPN. But now that they're already banned, if I want to make another one I've got to borrow someone's phone number since I already used up 3 on mine.
Frick israelitegle, I've gone through multiple new accounts on fresh emulator instances doing everything in JP, initially gain access to the JP play store, add my Paypal, and somehow they always get automatically converted into NA accounts. I'm not sure if it's because they know my paypal is NA (via the phone number you have to provide), or if it's because I'm logging into a game where I previously made purchases on my real account before the crackdown, but the account always ends up with an American payment profile with my real name attached.
yes don't link your paypal account.
i made a fresh google play account on a new xiaomi phone I bought 6 months ago.
I did not provide a phone number and set the account to jp while using a vpn.
it defaulted me to eu for whatever reason but 48 hours after buying some yen based packs in a couple games it switched over to jp.
dont link your phone number.
(me)
my us credit card worked fine. just to be safe i removed it from my old us google play account and never used that one again.
I already tried months ago using my US credit cards on a JP account and I could get one transaction through then I'd get blocked and eventually the account banned. Burned through 4 accounts to make 4 separate purchases; searching online recently I found a bunch of other people have had the same issue. Since then these threads have kept saying to use Paypal so I thought I could pull it off that way, but nope, can't even make one transaction.

Oh right, we're going into deca next

Dumb knife ear
Frick me I don't want to roll for Himari but I won't be able to compete in raids anymore if I don't
Best hope they pulled back on that kit, otherwise get your lucky belt on

Cripple moe is on the menu.
I have been waiting for this.
Hot wheels
>We now have a Cecilia clone from Infinite Stratos
So the leak is Himari uses a sniper rifle?
whellchair is voiced by the goddess? nice may roll for her
Gonna take a bit of getting used to, hearing her call me sensei.
Amagami pc/switch port never
Amagami official english translation never
i will never do my japanese reps
English fan TL did come out after 11 years but I hear its bad. I can go into detail about the reading and upscaling setup that I have been using for 3 years for JP content if you really want. My vocab and grammar are alright but I gave up on actively going after kanji too tbh. You can also use it for BA to get around the poor TLs but you would be limited to OCR as you can't engine hook it which is a bit painful.
I do wish it looked as good as the PC fandisk version though. Pic related.
Played her best route 3 times in the end. Anime doesn't do it justice. Even with the garbage minigame and the sometimes too horny MC, still a very enjoyable play. Looking forward to getting the time to lsiten to the new ASMR release.
Also let me quickly take this moment to say frick LovelyxCation's Aya route, the previous dating sim I played, for how disgustingly unsatisfying it was.
I cannot wait for Himari. Super cute elf design, cripple moe AND more Yukana.
>LovelyxCation
Holy shit that name brings back memories. LxC2 was one of the first untranslated eroge I tried when I used to frequent /djt/. Took me ages to read it. I wonder how long it would take me now. /blog
Yeah I remember it being heavily recommended in those guides. It was actually one of my main motivators to pick up the language. Was going through my older girl phase and the kurokami kinda fit the bill at the time. Sadly put it off for too long and don't really like any of them now.
I might give the newer LxC Niizuma a shot though.
Ai is love.
Some months ahead on content, if you're playing for bunny versions like Karin there just stay on global since her rerun already passed on JP. They've got a thread on vg
The thread for the global version is over at /vg/
This is the thread for the JAPANESE version of the game if you could take five seconds to read the OP
Read his entire post you mumbling moron
Why are you talking in third person though?
Have a last (you) schizo
I feel like I knew she was ambidextrous and forgot. But then I feel like I didn't
Cute either way
This game looks very cute, is it worth starting now? Any tips? Thank you
i dunno if they are still banning sold account but, buy any gem account / reroll account with students you like and roll for who you want.
no point for trying to be competitive at this point, and story content are piss easy.
On which banners should I pull then? On global rn
You seem to be lost
Your thread is over at /vg/ mr blind frick
Try to read an OP or at least 10 posts above you next time
I'm not going to waste 10 bucks on a reroll account, unless I'm looking in the wrong places
Stay on topic, you dumb morons.
Idiots keep raiding the thread for the last few days
funny enough, /vn/ is the source of a lot of cancer in /bag/ so I can't really be surprised it followed us here.
They can't even bother using the right board

As a newbie, which one should I roll for? My only tank is yuuka and sports festival yuuka.
Himari definitely but try not to roll without a spark
eimi is farmable, unless you rolled himari on 200th roll, then spending the spark on eimi is alright i guess, else wouldn't go for her
rolling for support students (ako, himari) and relying on your club' maxed out dps strikers make doing raids much easier
https://twitter.com/blue_archivejp/status/1592442854286438403
wonder if they would increase her EX cost to try to balance her unconditional subskill, cost of 3 would be pretty broken
Could just nerf the sub numbers. Having a character just tag along for cost recovery isn't unheard of, and for a special you aren't even giving up as much as you could for Cherino.
Yeah it's possible, if she keeps her current sub values she'd only be beaten out by Cherino's max RW bonus
You can free a slot of Cherino to have another attacker and a buffer in binner. My prediction is the team will be Kazusa, Maki, Akane, oChinatsu (sAzusa), Kazusa ex only has 4 costs which is lesser than Maki's so Himari may fits more than Cherino this time.
The biggest challenge seems keeping Kazusa alive
iori/yuzu was used previously and they survive just fine as long as they fill up the groggy gauge fast enough
with himari it should be easier
Lordchads, what's up with all these Himari and Eimi fanarts? Are they best friend in story?
They're both from Supernatural Phenomenon Task Force, the entire Decagrammaton event chain is about them.
this JFE season is pretty meh
feels like the score easily fluctuates just by missing a few milliseconds
So on the level of 0 to Ako, how must-pull is Himari? Considering I only have one spark and a bit.
Like a solid 8 if sHoshino is a 9 or Ako currently. Gotta wait to see how she actually ends up to say for sure. On her kit alone she's likely one you'll want in your pocket, she's not replacing Ako or anything but is an obvious pair for her in the sponge raids. Unless sShizuko is needed
Shoshino would be an easy 11. As in why does this unit even exist. Ako would be a 10 and everyone else should be a 9 or lower in my opinion.
I can get behind that, really just meant she's not on their level on her own. But yeah it's why Himaris in such a weird spot if that 20% cost up grabs from everyone. Would be like a supported Cherino so raid wise she'd be everywhere since it's more than both Cherino and sHoshino for 0 cost without x3 Red Winters. It'll be a big shift if so
Eh, I'm not sure I'd put SHoshi higher than Ako/Himari, just because I can see her getting pushed out of non-red raids the moment a better yellow/blue/all-purpose buffbawd frontliner shows up. Meanwhile the buffing specialists should stay good in all content as long as you can make room for them, via raw DPS or a Koharu/Kokona etc.
Feels like a lot of people are putting Ako over Himari for raw damage potential, but depending on the Cost buff (and whether the attack buff is still roughly double, depending on how many other attack buffers are around) she might still end up with roughly comparable damage in the end, and with significantly less crit rerolling needed.

I still don't know why they have to make that grin as ridiculous as possible. And somehow it's a surefire way to attract the most degenerate people.

it's their "print money" button, they going to be pressed sooner or later just like spharuna and other npcs

I'm translating 高嶺の花 as clifftop flower and largely giving up on the idiom. If you have a better idea, say something.
https://blog.kaitechjp.com/2018/12/03/09_out_of_my_league/
Need context but follow this article
I understand the idiom. The call is for an aspiring would-be Scott to localize it in a way that makes sense for the character.
Flower on the peak? High-flower tower/building? Ivory Tower?
I could've sworn English has a more concise version of the idiom than "out of your league", but even poking around JP resources/dictionaries I couldn't find anything.
Feel like you probably should prioritize idiom meaning over literal if length is a concern? "Unattainable Flower"/"Unreachable Flower" or something similar like
is probably a good middle ground between idiom and keeping the "flower" half.

got her in 50, got to save for ny limiteds.
3 more seconds on UE40?
about that yeah
13*1.19=15.47s
ahaha
Thanks Nexon
Bros?..
i hope 2 months of half+full monthly is enough for 24k jims
sports Yuuka is quite convenient for chicken stages
kazusa, cherino, s.hoshino, 1 random + himari and ako that's your insane comp
it seems that cherino does not stack with Himari.
well use cherino for tank then
then bring noa for def down
wait.. looks like it does stacks. that's ridiculous lmao
yea, they stack, see the x2 on cherino on the top right
why is cherino the only one with x2?
cherino subskill give herself a flat boost to cost recovery, himari subskill give everyone a % boost to cost recovery
What about S.Hoshino?
stack with shoshino
i wonder if it's possible to keep kazusa steroid'd up with her EX + ochinatsu + ako + himari with all these cost boost
Can you fit Ochinchin in there though? You'd want Shoshi, Def down and Cherino in there so that only leaves space for Kazusa
With 30k gems it's really a hard choice whether to pull now or wait for NY & anniversary... It's probably gonna be possible to get another spark before 2nd anni, but might have to skip NY (which would likely include a Nutsuki rerun, and she seems to be essential in a lot of things)...
you will have enough time to save for anniv if you spark now
I'd roll now, Himari's going to be busted. From experience doing this exact same shit with Ako last year, you should be able to save up a spark or close from now to NY but you'll have to skip whatevers in december completely.
decagrammaton dailies still cap at the same 1800 AP mission if anyone will bother to
haha i sparked himari
i sparked mari too
this but with yuuka
Sp.Yuuka is busted. +56% dmg on blue will make blue raids kind of joke.
Dang, decided to skip because of a lack of gems.
talking about spyuuka subskill? isn't that a self-buff to blue damage, which is worthless since she's a tank
>I misread her skill
Welp, she's still nice either way.
Her shield's pretty strong and easy to use so she's pretty nice to have
Would be crazy if that's a team buff, but that's only a self-buff, right?
i was thinking about hitting spark for himari but then i remembered i also sparked mari thanks to this post
I did too, and for my moronation I got 1 dupe 3 star (Ako) across 240 rolls.
Ha...
At least Ako's not farmable, I got a dupe Hifumi and Midori even though I'm missing 19 permas
Also had to spark, I got an Azusa, but at least I haven't unlocked her yet so no shards were wasted, so instant UE30. Also dupe Iori, dupe Shun, and actually a reasonable though not too spectacular haul of S.Hifumi and NY Serika. With only 10k gems I'm afraid I won't save enough before NY but we'll see. Hoping for some gem drops from the gods.

>release a really good unit right after sport limited banners
>ny limited banners are in a month and a half
This time knowing in advance from data miners was super helpful, as I decided to skip the limited banner this time, despite it being fairly appealing. Not sure yet if Himari is broken, but seems that gameplay-wise she's at least useful way more often than either of the two sports units.
>put Ako and Himari on Kazusa
>get 24.5 mil
What will be the border this time?
I don't know, but I'm scared. I've never cleared Insane before, and I fear I might have to just to stay in gold. I did end up sparking Himari, and I have to rely on Assist Kazusa, but honestly without everyone at UE30-50 like most of the people here I'm not sure if I'll even try. At least a tankless EX run (Kazusa-Maki-Cherino-Akane + Himari-Ako) and 13.8kk are both firsts for me for any raid so far. People do the same with Karin instead of Himari though, so dunno how efficient this actually was.
Hopefully 24.3 because I don't know if my only sunglasses Kazusa friend deleted me. Probably 24.5 though.
What are people using to keep macaron cat alive in that setup? Tried her for a bit but even with Shizuko shield she still gets blown up by the missile AoE.
Or is stacking SHoshi/Ako/Himari enough to force phase change/stun before he does anything?
You're supposed to outdamage the snake enough to fill the groggy before it hits you with missles
If you can't do more than 2 million damage in the first minute then it's pretty much over
Figured, guess I need to rent a stronger cath palug
Might also just drop SHoshi for another yellow attacker now that I think about it - people have been using her offcolor so often I slotted her without thinking but 30% atk up on top of 130-140% from Himari and equips is super diluted, might actually be able to fill the stun bar if I used her cost on Iori or something instead
does anyone have a maxed UE50 kazusa for mock purposes?
current top comp
>3 3* utility supporter units
this is the future you chose
It's maybe inevitable for teamcomps in all games, for offensive supporters to even exist and be worth taking, they have to pull more than one DPS's worth of damage
BA at least has flexible enough mechanics that they can break it up whenever they decide to force actual tank/healer, AoE reqs, repositioning reqs etc, though if they want to get rid of a hypercarry for good they probably need to figure out a mechanic with some sort of frequent DPS check to keep you regularly spamming offensive EXs
i think fgo has a limit break hp system?
from what i got watching random boss vids, say the boss' hp is 100k total.
what they do is they partition it to 3 parts, say 30k-30k-40k
if you go over DPS and deal more than 30k in one phase, the limiter will just break, and you still need to deplete the remaining 70k HP
and that did nothing because fgo is still buffstacking instakill nonsense, I've seen people run full support teams with no dps unit and still deal millions of damage
the core problem is the sheer strength of the buffs, the stronger they make them the more crucial they will be which is why ako should not have existed, yet they doubled down with hoshino and himari
And they will keep doubling down since it gets people to roll more gacha.
Absolutely predatory
It's basically just standard segmented lifebars/boss phase transitions with no overflow damage, yeah.
>that did nothing
Eh, I wouldn't say that. The segmented lifebars certainly dissuaded year 1-2 FGO's equivalent of Ako hypercarry build, unless you wanted to critfish for 20 hours you probably just tank and spanked through early hard content like raid Kiara.
FGO's problem is that A) they powercrept meter (their EX gauge) gain so hard you could get your super moves back 2-3 times and brute force through the segmented life bars before your burst rotation buffs even wore off, and B) they made hard content kill you instantly instead of tankier+mechanics heavier, so you have zero incentive to do anything besides DPS race it.
BA doesn't really need segmented life bars yet though, you still need to several minmaxed DPS rotations on a boss to kill it. It needs challenge/raid mechanics that force you to spend meter beyond "Wait for 10 -> Ako -> Himari -> DPS" and blast a punching bag.
They keep releasing healers like Kokona/Sports Mari so I assume they're aware, in the same way the focus fire girls came down in advance for Goz.
We're not there yet if we're not using literally 1 DPS and 5 support, 0 tanks
So Iori is no longer meta for Binah?
Depends on how high you're aiming, but for Insane - definitely not on a disadvantageous terrain. It's the hyper carry age.
She was never, silly. If they ever run a indoor binner, Iori will just blow everything up.
It feels like she's not really meta for anything anymore, but is kind of the go-to girl when you're missing a meta yellow (or sometimes even blue) damage dealer.
Massive raw atk buff support in play (Himari) should benefit Iori a lot more than other single target attackers like Maki/Kazusa who already have large personal % atk buffs, terrain-relative performance should be a lot more even now
Iori has basically afaik the highest crit damage + attack damage potential in the game in addition to of course all the other weird stuff she's blessed with. Literally the only reason she isn't meta here is environment.
If there's ever an indoors Binah, Iori will be meta for Binah
probably watch a clear vid on optimal EX usage later today
>Need to critfish kazusa
>Need to pray for no rockets
>need Ui
Yeah frick off
Rockets isn't praying, you need to groggy to interrupt them.
Ui slot can be Cherino, S.Azusa, O.Chinatsu or even Yuzu/Miyu and still be competitive.
You won't get away from critfishing though.
Timing grog is still rng as shit
25m possible max score in Binah
I'm calling it
himari busted
so any guide for new deca challenge?
most aoe yellows and heavy hitters
heal the tank for ch2
ch3 don't let the enemy destroy the blue pillar if possible, and don't destroy the green pillars
ch4 kettle in invulnerable, so just yellow aoe check for the mobs
I apparently did challenge 1 before. I'm guessing 2-4 weren't available before?
I've completed 2 and 3 so far, though I need to get the survival stare on 3 still. Might be worth considering if you don't have Cherino or Kazusa.
Anyone have ue50 kazusa i can borrow?
Time + Survival for challenge 3
This was painful, and definitely not the best way. I hate how the cover makes your positioning super fricked up
I've been looking for a way to do Challenges 3/4 without Cherino/BNeru, can't angle the shots with Momoi properly when the robots shiv you from behind.
I haven't redeemed Hifumi daisuki yet, thinking of going for it just for Challenges. Is Peroro+Momoi enough to stall and clear, or are Utaha turrets for aggro management also necessary?
>I haven't redeemed Hifumi daisuki yet, thinking of going for it just for Challenges. Is Peroro+Momoi enough to stall and clear, or are Utaha turrets for aggro management also necessary?
For challenge 4, I can't say since I haven't tried it. I want to think "probably but you might need Shun for an instant cost boost" since Hifumi's Peroro is expensive (5 cost). It's also worth noting that while it does last a long time it can die, so healing Peroro is valid. For my part I combined healing and shields to keep everyone alive.
Challenge 4, I did it, but to be honest I'm not sure how. Either those robots suicided on Kether and killed him in turn, or you really do just need to survive to a certain point. See, I dropped Peroro on Kether itself and then all the bots went boom. idk
see
So it's mob clearing
I'm pretty sure without Cherino an extra fast clear is impossible on 3 and 4, so forget that. I guess I can try to do 2 since I have SIzuna and forgot about focus fire
Ha! What? Are you joking?
Frick no. Not without student borrowing on challenges (why is that still not a thing?)
>All servers except JP got freebies from BA winning Korea's GOTY
Where is the outrage from JP players or are they just okay with it?
Korea and Japan absolutely hate each other so it's not terribly surprising.
I get the feeling this is going to be annoying as frick.
The only thing I don't have is a fully maxed (or rather, at least UE2) Himari.
I really hope this won't wind up with some new meta discovered and I need to scramble to keep plat. Seriously, all my girls are basically at the top of their game and from what you can find in the top 10, but here I am down here.
My Himari is only 60 but I got 24.5 close to 24.6.
I bet you I'm fricking up and there's some special ex order.
I don't like checking youtube videos since I want to figure things out myself first. My order's been:
Akane
Ui -> on Kazusa
Wait (for Kazusa to eat)
Kazusa, immediately Ako on Kazusa
Maki
Then Ui on Maki etc basically. I didn't use Himari's ex until phase 2, after the move.
Dude, put Ako AND Himari on Kazusa. It’s a hyper carry raid.
there is, for UE50 kazusa
>akane > ui on kazusa
>wait till 10 cost+ where kazusa eat
>kazusa > ako > himari > akane > kazusa
which tear binah into >4m hp left
>kazusa > ako > himari > akane > kazusa
oh, i never thought of that. i just went ako > himari > kazusa
will try that later
While this worked, there were some really annoying issues on the way
First, it's thankfully rare but apparently Kazusa needs to land at least a couple of crits or you lose 10 or 15 seconds. Secondly, I really am not sure about the second use of Kazusa's ex. Like, what the timing should be. Inconsistently, basically whatever I chose to do, there was a chance that after knocking out (almost a guarantee with the second use of Kazusa) Binah would use missiles. Binah can't use missile, or it ends your run due to Kazusa not being able to handle it (weak to the damage type).
I really have no idea what makes the missiles get skipped or what makes them come out. You can of course skip the missiles if you wait for Binah to prep using them, but then (at least if you don't have UE2 Himari + maxed buff boosting skill), you will lose the buffs because Ako and Himari have really short buffs.
Seriously, it was confounding. I reset a lot to get this score (which was a ~47 seconds left clear). Maxed out Maki and Kazusa. 5 star Ui with maxed skills. 5 star Akane with maxed ex. Himari is 5 stars with M889 (I'll max her recovery boost today).
I have to imagine UE2 on Himari is a massive game changer.
>it's thankfully rare
that she doesn't*
that comp do heavily rely on critfishing to hit the groggy gauge threshold in second part
How effective is her UE2? Does it just make her ATK buff last a few seconds longer?
I don't know, haven't tested it. Someone in my borrow list has UE2 (last I checked it was level 8), but I don't have Kazusa so I'll only check once I can max my Hasumi's reloading skill (she's otherwise maxed out)
I've been playing again since early-mid summer, but being almost-f2p and missing a year is still leaving me in the middle of golds at best, although not unexpected this still is a little depressing.
Even missing 3 months is an easy way out of platinum in every single raid these days
I actually wonder if they'll increase the plat cutoff again. The game is steadily getting more players and for some raids even if you HAVE been a player since day 1 it's gotten to the point that maintaining plat can be a huge struggle
guess i really do need to borrow a UE50 kazusa
I guess I'm at least safe in terms of gold with my 13.8kk but holy christ.
>Deca was just a vending machine that had a schizo moment

Didn't read the story yet, but that definitely explains the cafe animation choice.
hello shoshino
already borrowed my circle UE40 5/M/M/M, this one is UE40 5/7/M/7, so probably can get a better score tomorrow
sazusa is also a decent substitute
Nn.
had to 5* himari, also i always assumed stats from UE weapon for specials didn't transfer to strikers for some reason, guess they do
hrm
probably a good idea to link account to a yostar account if you haven't done it
hm?.. Something happen? I mean I already did but that's kinda out of nowhere
just fearing that twitter might go boom with the recent events
twitter decided to turn off some microservices it claimed as "bloatware"
not long after that, accounts who needed 2FA where unable to log back in
it's unsure what else they culled under the hood, so better to be safe than sorry
>got spYuuka in 10 rolls
>got Himari in 20 rolls
Thanks to the apolotickets I haven't even spent any gems, but now the problem is I barely have enough ligma to raise Himari to 4*, forget 5*
I'm probably fricked for plat anyway since no Kazusa, Ui, or Cherino
>can only get Binah to ~5.1mil HP with Kazusa and my 3*Ako/Himari before he fires missiles
fug
it's not worth using my mats to get their UE30s for this, right? obviously any bit of attack helps final score, but if I'm calcing it right, 3*->5*UE30 on those two only gives Kazusa ~200 more attack, which is maybe a couple hundred thousand more HP across the team at best
what is the UE for kazusa
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qK411Z7er/
it's possible even with a lvl1 himari
Tempting to try this with a rental Kazusa, now that I have a fully maxed out Maki, UE30 Akane, and UE40 Hoshino, but not sure if I have to max out healing on Ako for this, for which I definitely don't have enough skill books, and upgrade her to 4*.
Cleared Insane thanks to this video and a rental Kazusa. 23.9kk, but at least my gold is definitely safe now. There's some room for improvement as I didn't quite get the hang of how he's using Himari, but not really aiming at plat since it's fairly clear that it's impossible for me.
>~5.1mil HP with Kazusa and my 3*Ako/Himari before he fires missiles
thats way too low
https://twitter.com/osora_aka/status/1593520192713150464?t=L4nZeEo-EDvN3UFCbqMzBA&s=19
Going 25.1m but emulator crashed
the challenge stages is pretty tough as usual, except 3
challenge 2 you can use koharu for healing, iori+ako+himari can substitute for kazusa+ako
also redo challenge 1 for the gems
challenge 4 is yea, good luck
Snek speedrun
even 24.4m seems risky at this rate
>15k people cleared insane
I hope to god it doesn't rise to 60k by the end of the raid week.
I've already got Miyako.
I'm soon to have 200 recruitment points.
Do I recruit Miyu or Tsurugi?
Wrong thread technically since this is JP. On JP I'd say Miyu since Tsurugi is recruitable with Joint Exercise coins, but on global I think that's not yet the case, so can't say for sure. Generally Tsurugi seems more useful to me, at least I've seen her used in report farming missions (but you'll eventually clear them all anyway as you gain levels) and occasionally for Chesed. But neither is really "core".
I'm officially retiring from plat, see you friends
I managed to 1T Insane using a rental Kazusa (without sunglasses), Akane, Maki, S.Azusa, Ako, and 3* lvl 75 Himari, but wasn't even in plat range last night. Takes too long to finish him off in the final phase and Kazusa gets killed by sandstorm before I can cycle skills back around to her. The timing is also super tight on interrupting the rockets near the end of p1, I have to make sure Akane uses her EX before Binah moves down so I don't waste any cost while running, then have to slow it down so I can use Kazusa's EX the instant I hit 4 cost.
The good thing is once I got the timing down there was basically no RNG so it's a simple daily clear, but on the other hand no plat.
If you’re doing Akane Ako Himari Kazusa order in p1 then you should change it to Akane before binner moves then Ako Kazusa Himari Akane Ako Kazusa for p2. You can hit binner with 2 Kazusa ex while double def down or triple def down are still in effect. And you can use Kazusa faster in p3 to finish binner off.
I run Cherino and borrowed a SS Kazusa and got over 24.6 to day.
Problem is I don't have any SS Kazusas to borrow. I got 24.2M with the first Kazusa I borrowed yesterday then tried it with another and got really inconsistent results with her. Every time I manage to roll better damage in p1 I wind up stunning Binah before the rockets in p2 then he opens p3 with rockets into sandstorm and I'm fricked.
Hasumi crits really become way more reliable if you wait for her to reload. It can be a little squirrely, but I'm figuring out the timing
Alright, after a lot of experimenting I've figured it roughly out
While it's definitely more consistent, you NEED to score crits EVERY TIME and that there is the annoying part. Even if you always wait until she reloads, getting every shot to crit seems to have somewhat low chances. I reset a lot, and even regardless because damage is inconsistent I couldn't kill Binah with the last crit. This is still a higher score than what I got with Kazusa, but I know it would be WAY higher because there were times when I was really cruising and obviously could've killed him, but then something would frick up--be it a use of missiles, or be it a no-crit on the final attack
Pictured, a time I got close and got fricked
should be able safe now, only way to improve is to get a UE50 kazusa
exceeded 25m
24.4 doesn't look safe.
Is there a video of ue40 kazusa somewhere for skill timing reference
All the japs clear i see on yt is ue50
a clear is a clear
thanks for the jims
I literally CANNOT get the same time as this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YL_kKf3GPo following the EXACT SAME steps. Is UE3 Akane the difference? Mine's only 5 star, but surely HER damage isn't causing any sway here. Is it Himari's UE2? I can't imagine so. Those are the only two I don't have maxed and no matter how many times I try I can't get these times. Is it crits? Frick this.
I am going to, for now, ride on this score/close to this score (I've gotten higher in mock) with basically this team. This is actually more consistent because Hasumi crits fairly often after reloading. It's still not perfectly consistent though. I have sometimes reached the final phase with 1:10 left, and other times 40 seconds. This feels like rolling dice and it's annoying. Tomorrow I can level my own Hasumi's reload skill to max and maybe borrow a UE2 Himari for a small edge up.
Really just want them to bump the bracket size up. The playerbase has grown enough that it's fricking 14,000 people or some shit all using the same exact team and all fighting for the same random chances. They've increased the bracket before, and it's obvious that overall the game aims to NOT make you frustrated, so shit like this is maddening.
it the critfishing during the 2nd/3rd kazusa EX while using less cost than non-ui comp
>akane > kazusa (2) > ako > himari > akane > kazusa (2) = 14
whereas non-ui comp are using akane > ako > himari > hasumi/kazusa > akane > ako > himari > hasumi/kazusa = 24-26, shoshino does helps with the cost, but overall ui-comp are more cost effective if you critfish
try borrowing a UE40 kazusa instead, possible to get 24.5m with just a UE30 himari in this case
I have a UE50 Kazusa I can borrow. The time I posted is higher than what I got using her.
I basically feel like this is luck one way or another. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, just whether luck happens
(to clarify I got 24.5 using Hasumi already, but only in practice, not the real thing)
same, binah instantly use missile on 2nd phase and ruin my run
>doesn't crit
HASUMI
YOU'RE FRICKING KILLING ME, HERE
I applaud your dedication to persevere in the hasumi crithell
I prefer it to the Kazusa crit hell. While Kazusa's damage is more consistent in general, without more crits I am not hitting good times no matter what I do. With Hasumi I've done it several times at this point. Yes, there's a lot of resetting, but less than with Kazusa + I get a better time
finally getting the hang of it
just need to luck out and manage to kill it before the 3rd transition
hrmmm
(the Himari is Ue2 M38M)
https://twitter.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1594163705339875331
dick move to start this event after binah is over, could have started at the same time as decag
yeah, I see there are Himari mats I really could have used
Alright, I'm fairly confident at this point...
The video for this was posted a while ago but basically if you don't want to watch it it's
- Play on triple speed
- SHoshino Akane Ako
- start the battle on auto (Hoshino and Akane will be used instantly this way, no time wasted)
- turn off auto after Akane
- Wait until 6 or after (Maki will yell at this point) the buff with Ako and Himari on Hasumi
CRIT (will leave around 35 bars)
- Wait for Hasumi to reload. The INSTANT she begins to reload (icon up, animation started) you can fire her ex
- Wait for Akane to use her normal, then use her ex
- Wait for Maki to use her debuff again, then buff Hasumi twice again and wait for her reload again
CRIT (will leave ~23 bars)
- use SHoshino
This part is weird though because most runs will roughly be different according to when the groggy gauge first fills. But, don't do anything like use Maki because you think you can get away with it. Use SHoshino and return to the cycle of Akane > buffs > etc with phase 2
Hasumi will either reload immediately when she stops, or after just a bit. Critting here should leave ~12 bars. PAUSE. Let the damage take. Flutter pause and hope to fricking god you reach 10 before missiles. You need that last phase transition.
Then you can try to get the last crit etc. Maki can clean up if Hasumi doesn't kill Binah.
for the record Hasumi's crit rate after reloading with that skill maxed is 95%. You will crit a lot, but it's still not fully reliable of course
isn't crit rate hardcapped at 75%? remember an old post mentioning it
I wouldn't know, I just know that that's what her skill text says.
I think it was 80%, what I'm curious about is if the 80% is the final rate or the rate before it gets cut by the enemy's crit resist
Very nice, any chance I can add/borrow your Hasumi later? I had pretty much given up since I lack a Kazusa to borrow with any investment
Sure, try her out
Don't worry about her normal skill not being maxed. It doesn't work against Binah anyway (activates after killing an enemy, skyrockets her crit damage). It IS what makes her so deadly against Chesed though (for what should be obvious reasons).
>geez, I just used Momoi and Nonomi to sweep the mobs off the tank, Hanae was all I needed to keep it alive
Because I was using Hasumi I needed more cost basically, with only Hasumi helping with damage (for which she really helped greatly). Hanae alone, despite mine being completely maxed out, couldn't keep the tank alive since I wasn't able to clear the mobs. They respawn anyway so it's either heals or clears and I just chose heals.
>I don't even know what the frick I'm supposed to do on this challenge, I just die at the start, forget challenge time
Without NYSerika yeah I really don't know. Maybe you could replace Serika with Serina for a low cost slot, and replace Neru with Momoi to have "someone who can basically do what NYSerika can do"?
Also for just surviving I used Utaha, but keep in mine mine is almost maxed out and has her extra unique equipment. That served to keep us alive well. I think this was the most annoying challenge, though, because positioning is wonky and there are enemies who ignore the standard rules of the game (they don't attack nearest, they just attack the generator)
You can do 4 without Cherino and get 3 stars. What you can't do (I think) is clear it within 95 seconds.
I used this here
and basically it was about keeping myself alive and keeping the bots away from my girls.
Yes I legitimately used Kaede. The thing is, she has no limit on how many shields she can grant, so I found ONE use for her here: protecting all turrets, all girls, AND Peroro all at once. This helped greatly.
Added, and thanks. Mine is nowhere near that so she'll help a ton
You've got it figured out, also I'll admit I tried to call your bluff at
>don't do anything like use Maki because you think you can get away with it.
Because the spot really felt like it was perfect and got smacked up. But after I got everything to line up it went really smooth. Now I just gotta do it again, really thanks though Hasumisensei
Though with my luck I might end up barely making it if I do
ok/ok
I'll save my two tickets just in case I end up needing 24.6, but until then, thanks for the maxed Himari. I don't believe she "helped" I still reset for nearly an hour, but I'm sure it swung the odds ever so slightly in my favor.
Some things:
The "ideal" run is to have Binah hit groggy a little before you're ready for Hasumi's second shot. If it's significantly before (like on shot 1, Hasumi fricking WALLOPED the snake down to 31 bars or something and nearly insta-filled the groggy gauge) you're fricked (missiles will come out), but if it's around just before the 2nd shot that means you're doing good on damage and can force him into phase 2. Ideally you'll have 22 or 21 bars of health left going into phase 2.
I of course don't really understand if you can manipulate Binah to not use missiles. The flutter pausing trick seemed to work but I really could just be assuming things or just performing a ritual; regardless he didn't use missiles this time, and with 7 bars left in phase 3, Hasumi finished him off.
Obviously your luck can be even better since I got a better score here but w/e
oh and if Hasumi only gets Binah down to 37 bars with her first crit, don't bother, just reset
My last run
I actually had him start using missiles and get interrupted halfway through or something, I definitely took damage but Kazusa didn't die, it was really weird
does anyone have a UE50 kazusa with bond 20+ to borrow?
Does bond actually translate to borrowed units?
Yes.
>got Himari to UE40
>replaced S.Azusa with S.Hoshino
Now I'm generally doing more damage but the altered timing results in me getting fricked by missiles. Unless I get really shit damage rolls which makes the timing basically like before but also my score winds up the same as before too.
My Hasumi isn't even UE40 yet so she's not an option
thank you, bird
I thought the challenge was 90 seconds limit and kept reseting at 1m30 when the boss has 2,3 bars left
>that many healers
geez, I just used Momoi and Nonomi to sweep the mobs off the tank, Hanae was all I needed to keep it alive
>no Kazusa, no Cherino, no NySerika
I don't even know what the frick I'm supposed to do on this challenge, I just die at the start, forget challenge time
You can run sHoshino with the twins and Iori. Support are Ako and Himari. My advice on 1st phase is if you clear the mobs that swarm around quickly, the rest of your team will focus on the mob that runs toward and attacks the pillar. The 2nd is just Iori’s crit fishing. Save 10 cost and go Iori, Himari, Ako, Momoi then Iori.
Actually I was in the middle of clearing it right as you posted, Nonomi and Momoi again were all I needed for AoE. Momoi on 2nd wave, Neru taunt next wave, Iori kills first black bot. Then on boss had Nonomi ready to shoot backwards while Momoi took out front wave in between Iori EXs. I unnecessarily restarted a bunch of times because I could never kill the 2nd black bot before it destroyed the tower, didn't realize that it wouldn't matter (as long as it gets finished off before anyone dies) since you get a new tower for the boss.
Frick challenge 4 without Cherino though, it's too hard to keep the mobs inside arc EXs.
found this clear without cherino
timing seems really tight
Instead of continuing to bang my head against a wall, I spent some time refreshing the friend search and managed to find three people with sunglasses Kazusa and open slots. Waited a few hours for one to accept and after only a couple restarts blew out my previous high score for rank ~8500. I'm sure I could do better if I made more attempts, I used Maki at the end to try to finish and came up a bit short and lost a few seconds.
I'll check that out but with 2 seconds to spare I don't think I'll really want to mald that much attempting it, I'll probably settle for a conservative survival clear like
It seems like the tank on challenge 2 does massive damage to Kether (?) so I used Himari on the tank and just focused on clearing the mobs out of the way to let the tank hit Kether. I used Iori EX at the very end to finish it but I'm not sure she was necessary at all. As for 3, I figured out how to clear it with the team in the post directly above yours.
Yes, the tank deals damage. I wasn't patient enough to figure out the tanks timing so I just relied on my own units for buffing
Got up this morning and had fallen to ~9100 already, had to go looking for more Kazusa friends since no one else had accepted. Actually had one accept almost instantly and got back up above 8k, NOW I should finally be safe.
frick you, butthole
So, if you don't have Kazusa or Cherino, you can use this. No it's not really easy. I don't know who you'd use other than BNeru, maybe Yuuka or Tsubaki
Basically you start with Serika, Iori, and your tank. Only use Serika when the second wave starts showing up I think it was. There's a single butthole bot here who goes for the generator. Snipe the black bot with Iori, use your tank or buff Iori, and use Serika again to clean up most (not all).
If Hasumi gets a buffed crit off on Kether, she basically almost kills him in one shot. Then it's just the matter of dumping ex skills. You can aim Serika behind to get rid of that wave that comes in
I was so excited I screenshotted too early
obviously specialists were Himari and Serika. You could probably use Ako instead of Himari
I have Miyako?
Huh
Pretty sure I can't do challenge 4 without Cherino.
Oh well
challenge 4's extra time challenge* I mean
>24.4m border.
All my runs failed today. Two lower scores, and one was a time out.
I found that I can use Hasumi twice on phase 2 if I really need to, but I'm not sure it helps in that case.
Also if Hasumi hits *too hard* on her first crit, which does happen now and then, that can end the run because Binah gets groggy too early and will use missiles.
Anyway
this definitely sucks
I've made a rant before about this, and I know it's into the void, but by not increasing the bracket range it really encourages stupid playing antithetical to the core design + antithetical to the designs of the bosses.
Ways to take on Binah:
- Hyper carry/crit-reliant
- Bringing defense debuffers
- Using a tank or a decoy to keep your girls safe
- Using shields for powerful attacks
- Repositioning for the laser
and a few other things, but here's how to PLAT Binah
- Hyper carry/crit-reliant
- Bringing defense debuffers
- Using a tank
And that is it. You can make small deviations to increase the amount of crit-hitters but your only reliable options are few and you're no longer asked to think about your team composition or the general mechanics of the fight, you are forced into using a specific strategy that 10,000+ people are all also trying. It's fricking trash
>I found that I can use Hasumi twice on phase 2 if I really need to, but I'm not sure it helps in that case.
regarding this, I only started trying it at the end and happened to get a worse time using it.
The thing is that while Hasumi's crits are all usually about the same, sometimes she crits harder or weaker, and while harder is definitely usually better, obviously weaker just fricks you.
that's just endgame gacha for you. powercreep will steamroll through earlier bosses hard
when you have a gamemode that relies solely on killing the boss as fast as possible, niche strategies like repositioning and keeping the team healthy need not apply all the time
hell, there was even a strat in insane chesed wherein he purposely let his tank die from the kamikaze robots just so he can cast his DPS's EX one more time. the state of your party does not matter so long as the boss is killed fast
It's basically fine for the most part. I usually don't worry and I frequently deliberately avoid using meta strats. Like, my favorite Perorodzilla strat relies on Ui and doesn't use Iroha at all and it works well. The problem is just that the population has increased to the point where the hardest content is not only clearable by a lot of players, but easily clearable. They've recognized and adjusted for this before, so really not doing it is pointless
In the end having a system where rewards depend on player rankings is cancer. Everyone has to get sweaty and break out the most meta units they have just for a chance to secure that magical plat reward, because frick playing for fun and experimenting with unusual team compositions.

is it worth it to go for a spark to ue30 himari? i'm now at 130 when i got her
Her upgraded skill currently isn't a big help. I'd only say do it if you have a load of gems
passive+ seems pretty meh. was thinking more of the stat boost she gains from ue30 over just 4*
was wondering if it's pretty substantial in the long run, but maybe i'm just letting stat autism get to me
long run wise it's worth getting her to ue30, since she's going to be used in majority of the raids
use your current universal shards if possible (900), else get more of them from the upcoming banners
probably not going to reach 20k ins clears, >24.48m should be safe
they should really expand plat, it's like less than 5% of the playerbase compared to last year before the amount of players doubled
It was just jokes before, but I entirely expect them to be releasing another difficulty in the coming months. Probably 1-5000 or something and plat being 5001-20000. It was up in the air before but with how obvious their intentions were with Himari+Ako it's definitely there
Hope the new difficulty will cut even more students off from being usable, making just a simple clear full of critfishing with uber units
Is this the first time we have a 7 days long raid?
no, it been 7 days per raid for a long time now. it's the short emergency raids that we are no longer getting.
been trying this but goddamn the amount of luck needed for this is astronomically higher than 24.92m version
>16%ish correct rotation
>not just crit but you really need high roll crit
Frick this reset bullshit. At least I'm not getting knocked out after improving by 6k ranks.
Critfishing in Binah is way less stressful than any other raid because it's pretty fricking brainless once you have a cycle going, Goz was rancid
>24.5m
>close to 9000 now
jeez, good thing they won't be rerunning binah for at least 4 months
Got bored and decided to actually do the Hasumi strat just for one final struggle before fully retiring from platinum trophies. From 64 EX shots, 37 were crits. That's 57.8% crit rate. About 5~10% of those aren't buffed with Hasumi's crit rate+ on reload. The rest is Ako + Reload buff. Hasumi is maxed level + equip, UE3, 5/10/10/9.
I needed her to crit at least four times in a row to merely clear the run, and that's not counting bullshit like Hasumi failing to proc the cover or Binah's laser critting. This score isn't plat range (obviously), but who cares. Hopefully this will remind me to never do this again.
>5/10/10/9
>9
I can't imagine this granted you any favors
I never did precise calculations, but you do need 4 crits with Hasumi to clear it, plain and simple. I mean, if she doesn't crit even once you're just fricked. I'd just argue that compared to Kazusa it's at least much easier to tell when you've gotten a crit or not (it's a difference of 2 or 10 bars of damage for Hasumi)
I don't even have Kazusa nor any proper Kazusa friends, so I don't know how much better or worse she'll be. I'd assume she'd be way fricking stronger thanks to the sunglasses, but I've never used her.
She still needs crits.
I have access to both but got consistently better scores with Hasumi.
I have access to UE50 Kazusa friend, a maxed Maki, an UE40 S.Hoshino, an UE40 Akane, 3* but max EX/Sub Ako and Himari, and I still barely manage to beat Insane in four minutes if I'm lucky with crits. What am I doing wrong?
Timing or crits, koto has a video with that team I think so just watch when he's procking skills and make sure you're critting
S.Hoshino is better for Yuzu than Kazusa since Kazusa is already stacked to the moon with attack buffs. If you have Ui/Cherino/S.Azusa all of these are capable of getting plat score. Maybe S.Hoshino is too but I think it'd be easier with the others.
Crazy how a 200k increase in score was this much of a jump.
Does Ui interfered with Himari?
Yes, they overwrite each other so you should be using Ui first then Himari.
exceeded my original estimation, last day sure has a lot of tryhards
next time binah returns it will be way worse since it's sunglasses maki and iori
>tfw my best score with kazusa would've left me a platlet
i still can't get kazusa's timing, but anyway
hope next raid isn't binner
It will be chesed.

For now yeah. It's probably gonna be something like 20 to 25 episodes. I'm gonna take a wild guess based on the JP 1st Anni PV and say that the rest of the chapters will come out mid December.

I'm surprised they managed to turn Millenium's fluffy lighthearted stuff into something actually serious. So far I like it a lot and want to see more of what happens next and I'd say it's definitely better than rabbits right now. It feels like rabbits got absolutely shafted when Millenium got this.
Hopefully we get to finish this arc completely instead of being left in the middle like with rabbits. An Arisu decagrammaton raid would be cool too if Rio is correct and the reason she has a halo is because of the 'lunatic AI'.

Never touched this game before. Anything I should know?
Yeah, that the global/en general is over at /vg/.
Before I go, why is the general split into EN/JP? I understand with /vt/ and /jp/, since the roster is different. Why is it so with BA?
Because the different servers have different timelines, different events, different audiences and different everything. EN is insanely bigger in terms of Ganker population so this thread was made for the ones that want to discuss JP stuff without having to dive through 1000 shitposts just to get at the one JP relevant pot.
Cool. I'll be off.
>different timelines
they don't, other than being accelerated
>different events
they don't
>different audiences
obviously, they don't. These threads began on /vg/, it's the same audience
>different everything
obviously not
There's not really any point in pretending things because of some weird personal feelings you have.
There's like half a year difference between things happening on EN and JP, it's incredibly inconvenient to discuss current JP-related stuff in EN threads, and they shoo JP server people here anyway.

guess new raid (after cheese?) would be red and require aoe damage
would be interesting to see if she can compete with aru/mutsuki/hibiki/hina/akari
shes a bait for JFE
That’s a fricking weird normal skill. It’s line they are saying do you like more resetting?
Whole bunch of nothing in the patchnotes, joint drill after maint and indoor chesed on the 7th, But there's an APK update https://bluearchive.jp/news/newsJump/264
they fixed the bugs in cafe where students stack with each other and also hiyori appearing in battle victory screen which is a shame
>also hiyori appearing in battle victory screen which is a shame

What track number was Summer Azusa's BGM?
Her memolobby theme? 02 - Luminous Memory
The event theme? 80 - Colorful Beach
Thanks, I keep forgetting. I always set the newest girl as my background but for some reason I always go back to her.
Getting Challenge 4 with 95 seconds on the dot and no one dying was way too intense
I'm just going to do it the next time it rolls around I guess
Blue Archive really has the best BGMs
I don't know how they keep doing it but they're all always great
maint in less than 20mins

thank you
How would mining them myself help me avoid spoilers
Wouldn't it be worse since I'd get randomly hit by them while looking at my own datamines?
If the goal is to avoid spoilers altogether you probably shouldn't be browsing at all...
I avoid threads and communities on story days, I was just unaware today was a story update day so that was why my little complaint. Time to just dodge everything blue archive for a few days again.
That's fair. Take this non-story weaselpan spoiler to tide you over.
Shigure is up, voice and everything

camo pantyhose? thats a first for me
Are there actually any enemies in the game with high enough evade for weasel's debuff to actually matter, or is it just certain events/challenge missions? Wondering if red teams might end up looking something like
>(Main carry)/SHoshi/Shigure/(Koharu, Azusa, autoattacker etc)
>Two offensive support backline
but wondering if the 50% attack up ends up being a lot lower due to the middling uptime and accuracy loss, plus her personal damage being 20% lower.
Wouldn't be surprised is accuracy drop is to disqualify her from pvp
Can't see red Chise being that scary in PvP honestly? I can't even remember the last time I've seen blue Chised
>the thing with accuracy is that the students' base accuracy matters more
I suppose.
I guess it also matters if she reduces their base accuracy (the stat before it gets subtracted from evasion) or the final hit rate calculation, losing your displayed acc stat can mean almost nothing if the enemy evade is low or if your base acc is shit, but it might be always obnoxious in raids if she knocks you from 90% hit to 60~70% over a long fight, even if the boss has low evade. I've never used Nodoka seriously so not sure how her buffs work
there just isn't a good way to implement accuracy in raid without shafting a good chunk of students on top of the damage/armor type restriction
we do already noticed that cherino/nonomi sometimes are unable to fully clear out mobs in cheese since they both have the lowest accuracy ingame, at least the remaining mobs are easily killed with autoattacks
it would just make himari absolutely mandatory since she can shred evasion with normal skill instead of spending cost on EX like nodoka, or siori/misaki hypercarry being meta since dots can't miss
>misaki
correction, maybe not her, i am not sure if ground aoe is able to bypass evasion check like siori's debuff
one of the challenge stages during trinity summer and joint fire exercise
the thing with accuracy is that the students' base accuracy matters more than buffing them by x%, or just shred the enemies' evasion, or reset spam

Speaking of datamines.
The christmas event and next characters are largely in the client (mechanics are in, localization and art assets aren't, this is typical), as is the christmas event.
Farmable T4 ooparts will be wolfsegg/haniwa/mandrake/antikythera.

apk update and separate 460mb download
finally
for reference
replace maki with any other red attacker, her normal skill is too slow
replace hiyori with sshizuko, forgot her EX defense debuff doesn't stack with akane
for JFE, its sNomi, serika, and who else?
Tomoe droprate has gotten a boost once again, over the already-boosted global values. Go max out our wife.
there are now timers when the mastery cert shop, JFE shop, and the bounty shop will reset
Is she still not named Alice? Also iirc some liberties were taken in localizing for no reason, have they gone back to clean up(improve accuracy) or not? Magicami did something similar where it was a lot more meme-y at the start but they stopped. Is this like english Priconne with bruhs and stuff anywhere? Is there anything where a girl may be flirting in JP but is only being friendly in EN?
Frick off. It’s officially Aris on both jp and kr.
And that's wack
Weasel.

My wife Serina's memorial lobby is finally voiced and I love it.
Yostar please give Yoshimi's a voice too...
Fully voiced Yosh (Baker) for job experience day next year, trust the plan.
They used old challenges this time, right? Or did they give up on making new red challenges because of sHoshino?
The original event already had 5 challenge stages
They only make new challenge stages if the old event only has 3 challenge stages
Which missions should I do this event? Go for the points? Or focus on a certain shop? Sports event was my first one and it spoiled me with the free sports drinks.
9-11 if you need grey/blue mats, 12 if you have high multipliers or do not need grey/blue mats
might also need to do some 12 anyway if you can't reach 10k pts milestone before the event end
>Dummy data from KR Miner
>Dev can change it so take it with a grain of salt
(MTL)
1. Character
Himari & Shigure > Released
CH0194 & CH0194 > Appears in this version
Megu & Mine > seem next
Ch0191 & CH0192 are also next
2. Story
Episodes 11 to 25 available
In-game, a video other than PV came in.
3. Character in development
1) Megu detailed data has been received, please wait
2) Wait for Mine
3) Kanna
First of all, only the frame came in like last month's megu
4) I don't know who number CH0177 is.
It is unpredictable because of this location. *between Summer & Sportfest student
5) Increased coloring of Decagrammaton characters
6) CH0194 and CH0195 have been completed and uploaded.
Key information such as skills were carefully covered so that they could be entered on the same day.
So it's normal not to know
4. Information in development
1) Permanent open event
Like Pricon's Event -> Rerun -> Side
Event -> Seems to be aiming for permanent opening after reprint
Pricon is also permanently open two years after the event, and that's the role
2) New Conquest War Event
The Sportfest is the 18th event.
Next conquest war designing for the 22nd event
3) ID card background (for friends)
Looks like more will be added.
4) World raid
Added new difficult
5) Maps where speed or auto use is forced
The speed is forced to 1x speed or
There may be maps where you cannot use auto
Also for actually confirmed stuff and not speculation from a korean miner, these are your xmas units.
Will these be lims or perms? Will they replace new years? Nobody knows.
Rough guesstimation of their skills, this can largely change since only their logic is in so they're in the development stage still.
CH0194 - Serina (holiday alt) - Striker AR - Yellow bullet, Blue armor
EX - 400 radius of some Blessing/SantaGift counting, up to 15 stacks of gifts
NS - Every 21 auto attack, throw a random projectile X (from 3 equal-weighted choices) to all allies within 400 range except self (similar to ONodoka EX's random heal throw)
SS - After reloading, X to self
CH0195 - Hanae (holiday alt) - Special AR - Blue bullet, Blue armor
EX - 200 radius of some Blessing/SantaGift counting, up to 15 stacks of gifts
NS - Every 35 secs, X to the lowest HP% ally
SS - Party stat buff (like +ATK% / +Crit DMG% special subs)
kind of overcompensating with the amount of healers coming out, unless the new raid that was mentioned in decag also have a healing gimmick
mari and serina both have blue armor
>kind of overcompensating with the amount of healers coming out, unless the new raid that was mentioned in decag also have a healing gimmick
It'd be funny to have Hiero 2.0 if we do get another healing gimmick raid
Damn, was kind of hoping serina's striker would defy expectations from her being the quintessential beginner healer
Like either joining the pink regen/self-heal tank crew or being a super mobile aggro attacker going off the SERINA ANYTIME ANYWHERE stalker stuff
Doesn't seem like her stats/gear support anything besides another frontline healer though, aside from the UE oddly not giving heal stat
Unless her final kit has some wild shit like converting healing power into offense/defense
Both characters are still in early development so it's far too early to say if they're bad or not but it's good to know that they're coming for saving purposes.
>Maps where you cannot use auto
Oh no, what will we ever do.
It'd be a pain if you're forced to 2x auto like PVP but 1x no auto is just business as usual for me.
I'll assume conquest war is just total assault ran through MTL?
Also, that permanent event addition will be quite the boon
Conquest war could also be the wakamo event with a global raid
Would be real nice to have a list of the character IDs, because how the frick am i supposed to know who CH[number] is
Might be hard considering they change the sprite folders' names from CH_ to the characters' after certain patches no?
huh c5 isn't that hard
>megu and mine
easy skip nice
it's harder in the past, now with shoshino/ako/himari you will be bruteforcing through all the old challenges
>4) I don't know who number CH0177 is.
>It is unpredictable because of this location. *between Summer & Sportfest student
That's basically only the Kazusa event, isn't it? Presumably that'd be Reisa? Might even make sense that she has an unknown placeholder that they couldn't finish given how they randomly stuck a rabbit on the rateup instead.
Wasn't sure what was making my tank suddenly explode in C5, but didn't seem like a DPS issue - unsure if the enemies enraged if you killed them too far apart or if they just had really big dick crits sometimes
But in any event it seemed more like a Hina/Mutsuki/Doggo challenge on the adds than stacking those 3 to blow a dude up
If it's playable Reisa then I'm 100% rolling regardless of if she's good or not. Glad I have a large stash for ocassions like this.
if i remember the mechanic is that the mobs gain a huge atk buff after the other mobs died, so you just have to kill them all at the same time
?t=394
rolling for megu
I'm glad Serina got promoted to striker so we can finally see her cute sprite running around
I want to touch that feather.
A serina alt really endangers my pyro reserves when I just wanted to save
Wait so is serina getting a xmas alt AND a nurse alt, or is that one stuck in sprite hell?
Nurse is probably getting stuck in the never ever zone while Holiday will be her alt

>Millenium main story
>Let's go back to trinity stacies for the holidays

Striker Hanae fricking when
breasts too big
Wait I solved the mystery, Serina is Santa since she can be everywhere to deliver presents.
>Cute nurse that can be literally anywhere
Truly perfection
What's the PvP meta? I can see S. Ayane and S. Mashiro at the top, but I don't know what strikers they use.
Shun Yuuka Tank(preferably dodge) DPS
usually you'll be wanting to have Urban S DPS but feel free to choose depending on your bracket
Thanks anon.
Maxed out Haruna + Yuuka + whatever else honestly. There's actually not really a meta imo. If you know what damage the other team deals, you can probably win.
Didn't the localization start of mediocre, then was fixed, and now the newer stuff sometimes drops in quality/accuracy?
The global general is over at /vg/ for global questions and other stuff, this is the thread for the Japanese server.
Should I just resume my jp account? Has global gotten israeliteed before?
I'm not a global player so once again, you should go ask the global general. If you don't know Japanese then you should go play the EN version instead.
>If you don't know Japanese then you should go play the EN version instead.
Plenty of JP players in this thread don't know Japanese. They play it either because they picked it up first or because they prefer it.
It seems pretty standard from what I've seen, down to that exact pattern of
>start of mediocre, then was fixed, and now the newer stuff sometimes drops in quality
Even then, in these cases it's not clear if the translators are getting better/have more time after the initial release, or if the loc is just subject to less scrutiny over time.
Global seems to primarily complain about occasional memes, typos, and regional English/idioms slipping in, which is also pretty standard (and also the only issues EN-only players can typically detect).
From checking my own readings against the global translation's for events/Momos, nothing seems really off, but there's the usual issue where a lot of small character traits and speech patterns get sandpapered off in transition. Sentence fillers, qualifiers, ellipses etc get dropped a lot, though for BA specifically it's unclear if that's localizer laziness or JP adding flavor that wasn't there in KR themselves.
Mine better be some kind of freaky damage-based tank like she's suggested to be by the story
Easy. It's not hard to get 242.3k but still needs some luck
bump
sorry for the wrong post but, what's the rotation of your first team?
nta but should be per box:
akane > ako > o.chin
himari > akane > ako
o.chin > himari > akane > ako
And reset if you're too slow at killing the boxes because of crits, you should have shot box 3 a couple times by the time you can do the last ako.
That poster is fricking rad https://twitter.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1598874824541343744
I guess it's fine to post the ingame full-res version now.
Didn't even realize that the thing on the right was toki because i didnt see the halo on the twitter picture, wtf is this girl
(me)
I meant left, it's late
I wish they would release the story on maint day instead of this shit where we have to wait over a week for it. I don't want to dodge spoilers and shit for all that time.
