Are you guys on the JP server of Blue Archive rolling Ichika and Kasumi to prepare for the upcoming purple AOE raid? Or are you skipping and getting ready to get ass-kicked like me?

I can't decide whether to roll Kasumi or not since she looks like meta
metababs get the rope
Looks like B.Asuna to me. I still rolled her though.
i do it for the plat trophies
Purple raid is gonna drop on anniversary.
first for mob-chan
why did they swap the position of the credit and AP in the cafe?
Probably to match the positioning of AP being on the left and credits on the right on the top of the normal UI
What emulator do you guys use? Was thinking about switching to pc.
BlueStacks 5.10.150.1016 Pie 64
WSA 2308.40000.3.0
BlueStacks 5.13.5.1001 Pie 64. I used the offline installer because I don't want to install all the shit that comes with the normal installer
MuMu player with android 6.0.1
still supported, and running blazingly fast on my ancient laptop
Ichika is literally my wife
Aodama (アオダマ) has a free spot, if anyone here is interested in an active circle
Still? I'm new-ish but addicted.
Yeah. Put /bag/ or /vmg/ in your greeting before applying
Okay, I'm on cooldown from leaving my random guild but I'll send it tomorrow. Thank you anon
This is once more true since I booted someone who kept ranting about raids and meta and rankings after I warned him to like, fricking stop. He had yet to stop so he's gone.
Aodama has 1 more space!
I'm skipping because they're not limited but Kasumi instantly became one of my favorites so I hope the spook doesn't take too long.
Reminder that you can 3* ex challenge with 2 run or more. You don't have to clear all 3* conditions in one run.
I can't even clear it
Had to do the third challenge twice but can't do the EX challenge
Have you tried fielding two yellow armor tanks at once? They help split up the damage taken and make it more bearable, though you still need healing.
For normal missions you can also attempt to maximize bonus event items after 3* once, it'll count if you win no matter how much time or units fall in the process, don't know if it's the same for EX challenge but IIRC those don't have bonus event items to get, just pyroxene
I learned all this stuff way too late.
>after 3*
to maximize event items you should max out the bonus first and then 3* because then your 3* run will get full bonus
monthly shop reset in less than 18 hours
buy your shit
Thank you, Kasumi
seems like you would pretty much clear the stores by the time you can get the 300 gems from the mission
How is this even possible.
You know, if not for her cost reduction at the start, SShiroko would really be mediocre for PvP. I swear to God she cannot hit evasion tanks to save her life (and mine is maxed out, except for affection).
I see multiple attacks that go the distance, and multiple defenses, where she just doesn't deal a single point of damage.
accuracy is a meme, it's either you hit the enemy or you don't
pic related, shiroko OHKOing an enemy marina
How did she manage to hit negative damage though.
Did she heal the opponent? This was on defense so I'm not sure.
no idea. this is the first time i've ever seen this happen
I checked the skills of my opponents' team and I think I know what must've happened. It had to be something like this: S.Shiroko was using her EX on Yuuka and she missed (like always), but on that exact frame Yuuka was using her sub heal ability, and the game counted that heal as Shirokos' damage.
It was Tsubaki/Nutsuki/Yuuka/Marina/S.Shiroko/Nagisa on my side vs NY.Haruna/Mika/Shun/Yuuka/S.Shiroko/Iroha on the opponents'. If anyone has different explanation I'd love to hear it. Still won that defense lmao
Happened to me as well. Didn't see anything weird in the fight.
well her debuff is quite nice plus she enables Marina due to small pvp terrain
This game has sped up my Japanese reading speed quite a bit, I'm getting back into regular VNs and I find myself reading normal narration and dialogue way faster than I used to before picking up BA.
actually reading vns(which ba basically is) has always been the proper way to learn japanese. anki reps are mostly a meme that either make people get bored and quit or at least slow people's progress because they think 'well ive done my reps for the day, now to forget about japanese until tomorrow'
Yeah this, it's also logical since you're extracting vocab, grammar and context daily which is superior to isolated study.
Also listening to voiceworks like incidently, blue archive ASMR every night increased my understanding of spoken Japanese tenfold.
Jesus. Just listen to some drama cds.
i might be calculating wrong but is Ichika damage very underwhemling considered everyone should have sHanako?
1380% for 6 cost vs 642% for 2 cost not to mention hanako has higher ATK
According to this she benefits a lot from getting buffed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3nL8ulH4gs

Thoughts?
we already got a leak, unfortunately won't happen
Isn't the leak up to October 24 only? This one
. Or was there another leak that revealed banner info after that?
oh I thought that one was until october. honestly too hopeful for thinking that Seia will be available in November but I don't mind if that happens
Can someone explain the bulk crafting thing to me? I don't get it.
Say you're a whale and you want to spend 10000 crafting stones to get gifts for your waifu to get her to relationship rank 100. You don't give half a frick about the other mats you could get from crafting, you just want the gifts. The bulk crafting menu lets you deploy in one tap a crafting that will go through all three stages, use preset fodder materials and pick the gift node if it's available. If it's not available it chooses a random node.
Non-whales usually have two or more nodes they're equally interested in so this feature is useless to them.
I see, thank you.
>forgot to login for the 18:00 ap
it's over
i never login for the 18:00 ap...
Bro your every-3h-cafe headpats?
that system sucks and needs to go, i just can't be assed waiting a minute for that shit to load just for a headpat
Gifts are way more efficient, you can do schedules for affection as well, and making players log in once every 3 hours just to min-max feels like it goes against the bonsai nature of the game. I think it'd be better if you could only do a single headpat during each 12-hour interval, and that headpat would be worth 4x the headpats you do now. That way you could log in only twice a day and still get all of the benefits of headpatting. But even if they don't change that, gifts and schedule are still sufficient. Keep crafting those gifts.
i stop doing that too
It helps me get up at reasonable time, so I don't mind it
If you were to get all the headpats you'd sleep less than 6 hours per day
it's only important to get all the headpats in the half of the day when you use your invite
why does this world looks so utopic but we have 12y/o girls (girls?) shooting eachother, is this some odd alternate US timeline?
new player btw.
because girls with guns is moe
because being shot is only a minor inconvenience for the 12y/o girls, so we get to have comedic gun violence without harming the utopic setting
It's not utopic, Kivotos is pretty fricking terrible to live in. Don't let the flashy appearance of the setting fool you, it's just a copy of our corrupt and materialistic world but except with violence and property damage cranked up to 11.
still better because at least everyone that's not an animal or robot is a cute girl
it's not terrible as long as you have halo and don't live in the slump
oh and slavery is legal if we take that ps68 manga as canon.
this. kek. it's like all asiaticshit media. capitalism bad, rich people bad, poor children :~~*
not judging, jus sayin
mob-chan supremacy
Feels like she's more popular than Ichika
I would have rolled if she appeared in the memolobi
This line is hilarious when her horn is about to poke out Ichika's eye in the sprites at the same time
Forgot pic
what I used for challenge 3
it;s mostly characters players should have. The only real unsure elements are SHoshino and Hibiki (though Hibiki is also farmable).
Even if you know the "gain cost on kill" gimmick this is fricking tricky to do within 2 minutes
>it;s mostly characters players should have.
it's not characters players should have at lvl 87 star 5 UE 40 though
right
who the frick invests into kirino..
Tbf who else are you gonna spend valkyrie mats on
had to remind me i don't have donatsu..
I made my account literally the day after her rerun ended...
Fox squad of course
Me, homosexual.
jesus christ
keeping characters alive in this was the more annoying part. I'm not actually sure how doable this is without Saori. Is there even a single target red who's as good as or nearly as good as Azusa for instant ex damage?
This shit melts my maxed Yuuka like tissue paper and it doesn't look like you can cleanse the debuffs since they get reapplied nearly instantly, do you just have to pray she dodges the explosions and boss's big attacks properly?
The explosions in the first screen need to be dodge malded yes. Boss portion doesn't feel like dodge malding, the boss just does way too much damage and too many hits. I think you need to go double tank, double healer or Yuuka+Hifumi.
managed to do it with this team. you have to time when it is best to heal your tank, and when it is best to kill off the mobs for the cost boost
i've seen some comps do it without nagisa either, so it's all about aoe and timing
You can kill at least one of the enemies that casts it in the first part, with Yuuka surviving a second with no problem. During part 2 you can to never let the adds live for long
Is this calendar using new BG ? or its from event ?
I don't recognize it. We're well due a halloween event, seeing how it's one of the few all girls have lines for.
Saw a JP suggest since recent events are being announced in the "After ___, it's only fitting we get ___" format, we're going to get Trick Treat Trinity as a follow up to Trip Trap Train
Would love to see Halloween alts for ASS Club
I can't believe Plana turned into a pumpkin

bless anon from previous thread showing the way to install BA on wsa. I appreciate it
glad it works
don't forget to change the settings ingame too to 60 FPS and high quality
hello anon, sorry for disturbing your long slumber but
somehow it doesn't work with latest ba app. what should I do?
upgrade to win11
no other option? it sucks
it still works fine for me
I updated it through APKPure
you could try re-installing BA I guess, maybe some settings/cache got messed up on the update
what is it that doesn't work anyway?
if it loads but shuts down after a bit without any warning or anything just turn it off completely in the "System" tab and restart, maybe close some other background programs
that happened before the update to me sometimes too
black screen, I already reinstalled. Well I still use win 10
I use win10 too and it works fine
I'm not the one that said to upgrade to win11
yeah I don't know why I keep getting blackscreen. Probably I need to update wsa
isn't this really fricking good?
40M credits for 1500 AP if you only do the 3rd quest, and you get a bunch of other things event items too of course
I might switch to farming 1-4 now in this case
only 3, 7 and 11 have the highlander mobs
quest 3 gives 20 and quest 11 gives 22, not sure about 7, so I'm just doing quest 3
i just spam the lower maps since i never noticed by t2/t3 watches and hats were running low
but the trickle of credits is decent
Ugh, another surprise ooparts shortage. I could invest in Noa's EX instead but that would feel like a waste.
another day another mob-chan
Highlander named student when
I love this event, it's like a pseudo normal stage with all of the equipment drops
>Event points don't count towards the event item daily
It's over...
shit I just realized I won't be able to get to 15000k event points if I just do the bare minimum for daily missions every day
but that's alright I've got a linear programming solver, I may not be able to do it in 250AP/day but it shouldn't be more than 300AP/day if I spend my last day before 2x commissions well
I just noticed I can backtrack through momotalk messages without it glitching out now. Glad they fixed that.
I wish we could reselect the options just to see how much of illusion of choice we actually have.
Is there a site where I can find Hi-res images of the recollection lobbies?
I don't know of any.
Japs consider it disrespectful or something so you should try your luck in the chikosphere.
I tried assembling them on my own but some backgrounds don't work and I have no idea what to do with the camera i.e. cropping
extreme novice question; How do you know if you have an account linked to google or whatever? When I was making my BA account the game crashed so I'm unsure if it actually went through, even if I am in game now
From the lobby, menu -> account
Best link to a yostar account, just in case twitter goes under
Thanks, for some reason I had great difficulties finding the menu itself. But looks like I managed to link my account despite the crash, good stuff.
>in case
they're literally removing twitter support next update
seems like daily missions reshuffle between event currencies, is it better to not empty shops first?
Huh? Daily is just 700 of any event coins, I thought.
yesterday it counted when I farmed attached case, today is crew whistle, maybe tomorrow just event points? I almost empty out first shop and I will feel bad if I get a lot of leftovers due to daily missions
Any of the 3 event tokens (tickets/cases/whistles) should count to 700 total daily. Pt does not.
oh, I probably mixed it with event point farms. thanks
In a pinch store exchange counts towards the daily btw
Wait frick is there a daily thing I've been ignoring this whole time...?
Never mind. Just eq and credits? I'm not missing anything then
don't forget the 60 pyrox for clearing them all daily
that kinda sucks, but eh
I'll do it once to hear the voice line
NyFuuka rerun when?
I bet the new NY units will be so broken you won't have enough gems left to roll for her
I did the math and the rerun schedules are so random that there's around a 9% chance that it comes right after this event ends.
2x commissions in 15 minutes
hyeeeehh
>my iori is too weak so i have to manually run M each time
kill me
Bro your Tsurugi? Your joint exercise coins??
when i started the shop guide basically said the shop students outside of total assault were worthless so i never bought any of them
yesterday i decided to start buying mashiro and tsurugi anyway, so i'd get extra ligma whenever they finally spook me, but it'll take some time to actually recruit them and/or make tsurugi usable
>when i started the shop guide basically said the shop students outside of total assault were worthless
those guides only apply with a perfect reroll
If a student exists, invest in them.
just do L, the difference in rewards is miniscule
L is 165 XP/AP while M is 187.5 XP/AP
it's a 13% increase so it's not miniscule
>M
>L
the frick is that? am i missing something?
anon...
right i hit the cap but still never bothered to clear the comissions haha
are l and m doable without himari? i need to get around to clearing these too
Tsubaki Iori Kotama Serina, have Serina push Tsubaki up while Iori nukes
I can't do it because my Iori is only 3* but if you upgraded yours at all you should be fine. I've had some runs that just barely fall short
iori continues to be the goat. thanks, got the 3*
I did it with lvl 80 characters
what are the chance s.ui become meta in yellow raid?
she should be, at least for torment
she was used in top torment clears
Was thinking maybe I could 2T Insane with Kazusa/Mika but then I remembered I have an extreme shortage of Special students. I pretty much only have Himari + my borrow
you should be able to 1t ins with just mika and akane
>has himari
>can't 1T ins
google how to get a brain
It's been 7 months since we last fought Hieronymus
I'll take Greg
I really don't want to do tmt.
Ichika is the new hotness, other girls are old and busted
Why do I see top players using Kazusa?
wasn't it supposed to be possible to borrow as many units as you wanted for mock battles?
did I completely misunderstand this?
Before the game would prevent you from borrowing units you already borrowed in a real battle, even in mock battle. The recent update removed that restriction so you can test teams with a support even after using her.
oh.. well that sucks, I wanted to play around with maxed characters to see the difference
>used a ticket by mistake
>either constant phase 2 wipes or timeout
srkr ins got me too wienery, it's over
bro your spYuuka/sShizuko protecc?
>malding for 40 minutes
just 2T it jeez
can't 2T when my best units are level 70
no Ui/NyFuuka
>can't 2T when my best units are level 70
Black person you've got 730k HP left, let any yellow sneeze on it and it will die
assembled my best leftover yellows + SpYuuka and dealt a grand total of 100k damage before watching the missiles nuking everyone bar Yuuka
maybe if I had my own Mika it would be possible, alas it is what it is
Why are you in phase 2
somehow ended up t1 with 150k hp
junny deleted the rest
yay
uhh it's possible to ins with a bunch of shit just like that? i barely managed ex with a lot better team..
my ako doesn't have max ex so I couldn't 1T it but I don't think it's bunch of shit either
nvm my best special is kotama
>2* Akane
Genuinely how? No gacha dupes for even 3*?
I'm 4 levels behind him, started during the sHanako fes and haven't rolled since, most of my 1* and 2*s are still just like that. Figure his situation might be similar.
Momoi eats my raid coins, Mika/Cherino can tank so it's not a big deal
rank 66k
goldbros, I did it
>yuzu EX damage can range from 50k to 1m
having yuzu consecutively highroll 3 EX crits is harder than i thought
key seems to be skipping phase 2 entirely (dropping binah to 1.4m hp during phase 1)
honestly I would rather do these for comfier runs
Yuzu mald is too insane considering that you need to mald both crit and crit dmg
good enough
Anon what are you doing? You could have cleared INS easily with Maki and Akane's defense debuffs.
they're both level 1 1/1/1/1 0/0/0
I guess two S.Hanakos + Momiji won't be enough to clear phase 4 three times. Still not pulling for Ichika/Kasumi.
I thought Kasumi will be used in Binah tor. I guess I will save my gems then
>heavy armor
>4 cost
sometimes i forget that binah can attack
her def down debuff is kinda good
>56k insane clears
surely it won't go above 120k right?
my scuffed insane clear is enough for gold, right?
Maybe I shouldn't have maxed S.Ui's EX and NS if I was just going to use S.Hoshino instead...
I wish I had Mika, Ako or Himari so I could at least try for gold...
>dropped from rank 3k to 8k in a single day
>87k ins clears
I don't want to invest in maki right now, please stop
at least i'm comfortably clearing ex now that i reached the cap..
>level 73
>already has cherino and both buffbawds
wtf
it's called rerolling
bro that's cringe
welcome to gacha
all the other gachas i've played had no rerolling funnily enough
Every gacha has rerolling, it's just a matter of time and sanity.
rerolled for s ui + hinata, got nykayoko
got himari on the blufes
bought selector for ako
sparked cherino
>got himari on the blufes
feel free to explode
I still refuse to buy the selector until I need Ako to clear insane
They're pretty blatant with the hinting this time.
When they hinted at an ASS Club event last time they also did towards the Sports Fes but I can only see a Trick Treat Trinity being hinted at from that video.
Hint: they're eating TWO puddings!
come here blue devil i will give you some suiitsu
i hate critfishing
>just crit 6 times (yuzu normal and EX) in a row, but not too hard for the first 2 crit else it trigger phase 2 too early
fricking hell, can I get away with comfy Mika clear?
No
I guess no choice but to mald with Yuzu, huh. I want to clear torment but unfortunately I don't have Yuzu, Kanna, Mine, Moe, Meru and my Kazusa is 3*
im definitely getting my comfy silver with a mika clear
a comfy gold yes
people using the exact same teams to plat
really indicative of the playerbase's skill!
Plat should be score threshold, not ranking. This is dumb as frick.
>just play torment!
they legit went too hard with torment, running it is annoying as frick and just another "I hope you enjoy randomness" game at this point
I agree with overdone Torment but plat ranking keeps the game alive.
I don't really think so. All the major boosts in popularity have been new characters or new story. Gameplay challenges are good but ranking them almost definitely barely matters--which is why the ranks keep expanding to accommodate the population. It's a bonsaige, not a competitive game
If boosts in popularity dont convert into sales and revenue then it doesnt matter
You still need a gameplay loop to keep players in the loop
I wonder how much revenue comes from meta whales in platinum vs waifu whales in gold
God bless that person dumping a bunch of non-H BA doujins on sadpanda
...I'm stuck in bronze.
It's so over.
Imagine doing Insane and getting Silver
>over 100k ins clear
>I'm 883xx
2 days left
Was the previous Binah the only raid where you needed insane for gold?
Wikibro, if you're still here, why not turn this text into a visual graphic
You already have the visual layout of each map, why not also turn it into a visual guide?
comfy gold this time around
kaiten will probably bring me back to silver

Yuzu and Maid Aris are horrible characters. The game would be WAY better if they were removed.
Is there a comfier comp that won't make me want to die or is it just killing myself until I get perfect crits for 26m?
mika comp is more consistent, but you won't get 26m with her
also 26.01m is already at 12-13k
>also 26.01m is already at 12-13k
this game fricking sucks
>Yuzu and Maid Aris are horrible characters. The game would be WAY better if they were removed.
Just don't use them?
Nothing wrong with gold.
surely the bond gear will fix this
(in a couple years)
Bond levels is just a fricking joke,
Get into the cutoff and call it a day then
im sure you were a big fan of the raids where crits werent possible, everyone loved those.
The devs literally gave us a character to use if you don't want to mald over crits: Mika
If you're still malding over crits it's your own fault
>bro your maxxed Mika?
>bro your maxxed Himari?
>bro your maxxed Ako?
>bro your maxxed Ui and s.Ui?
>bro your maxxed s.Hoshino?
Thanks devs.
Can't wait for
>bro your maxxed s.Hanako?
>bro your maxxed Ichika and Kasumi?
It's gonna be great.
I could be placing in the 2ks right now if Yuzu decided to crit her third normal. Now I'm stuck with a regular 002.
To be fair, the devs are simply taking the rng element of this genre to its natural extreme.
Players literally banking on a nat 20 crit to place as high as possible, it's genius Game Design™
more like rolling 3 nat20 crits in a row or you're out
This is fricking horrible please never rerun binah again thanks
Rolled for Ichika and ended up with both.
maxed my uz because she cute
wasn't ready for such crit shenanigans and thus never actually use her on raids
Shigsex
yeah that's a must roll
please don't have shit l2d track

Anyone want to think for me
Need some recommendations for who to raise so I don't find myself having to gear multiple characters mid-raid again like Maki and Akane
I also have no clue who to use for PvP, I'm currently running Koharu/Shoshino/Tsubaki/Mika/Serina/Nagisa, which obviously sucks shit.
Don't plan to pull any old banners other than NYFuuka and Haruna if I get Fuuka early, otherwise saving for new limited banners
just be yourself
Azusa, Momoi, sShizuko
Shizuko for shirokuro
Eimi(get her from shop), Hifumi, Neru, Pina(depends whether you want to clear torment or not) for Wakamo raid
Kayoko for Hod
Hoshino, Yuuka, Haruka for PvP
spHasumi for Goz
for pvp, I recommend using nyMutsuki Yuuka Tsubaki sHanako Nagisa mYuzu, you can also use Mika for fun by changing sHanako with her
Ty
Now that I've geared Yuuka it will be very funny if the meta changes on Nov 8 and I don't want her anymore
Yuuka is the best pvp tanks so it's hard to see how she will be replaced
18 - 24 October : Shigure & Megu

Sure
thank you very much anon
(me)
Nice, I figured out how to get 241.5k+ without Ichika/Kasumi
Wish she got a standing sprite too.
Hifumi invites Fuuka to hang out in Trinity as thanks for helping them during chapter 2. Fuuka, feeling guilty for what happened to the gold maguro, brings halloween treats to share with the moron and justice clubs. Juri comes too.
But on their way they're attacked by a mysterious third party, the afterschool sweets gang. Will Fuuka suffer the same fate in Trinity as she does in Gehenna? Will Natsu eat Juri's sweets? Will Hifumi or Azusa get second alts before Yoshimi gets her first?
>5 cost EX

how can you look at that image and say that
Why is she so lewd?
imagine the 4 tanks + dual onsen healbawds memes
S.Shiroko and Shun's existence means that at least one of them will get fricked by an enemy DPS before either healer can get deployed

Praying that the end-of-month banners will have something I want
ASS Club Halloween or Ibuki are my bets, I'm ok with either, maybe even both!
Speaking of Ibuki I finally got around to reading the second Hyakki event yesterday and was very disappointed by how little Ibuki/Iroha there actually was. I think after Get Set Go and Trip Trap Train my expectations were unreasonably high for a cross-school event.
uh oh forgot to do the jfd yesterday
total assault - a handful of autobattles, then one manual battle a day for 5-6 days
daikessen - just three battles on the final day
jfd - three battles every day
frick jfd forever. if i could automatically get a score of like, one run on hardest difficulty, one on second hardest, one on third, and never have to/be able to actually manually play it, i'd take that deal instantly.
do i roll this banner?
if you lack healers and plan to do torment hiero or to have easier time with future purple raid, then maybe
yeah if you can't swipe it needs to go
especially pvp, can't remember the last time i bothered to do all 5 attempts, usually it's 2 max
For some reason, the official twitter pinned the PV4.5 again.
Because theres nothing else upcoming to pin thats all
I'd say there's a good chance Volume 5 is coming in the next update.
I'd buy it being on Nov 8th but he's right that them pinning the PV is irrelevant and just because there's nothing else going on.
Shigure and Megu aren't going to be the launch characters for the volume and it'll almost certainly come with missions and Hyakki mats.
>I'd buy it being on Nov 8th
I'd even buy it being on Oct 25th
>Shigure and Megu aren't going to be the launch characters for the volume
Obviously but what does that have to do with anything? Their banner is next week along with Kaitengen.
I just assumed literally everyone agreed we're getting a Halloween event for the end of the month tbh
No, the people saying that have no clue
The calendar stickers never meant anything.
I hate jfd week the most
>that one jfd team that worked flawlessly all these days barely managed today to clear after multiple retries
you love to see it
Where's Kaho?
under the table, why?
What's the correct way to use Wakamo after her bond gear buff? Since her EX explosion still doesn't crit, should I buff her with Himari, use her EX, then buff another DPS (Hinata, M.Arisu, etc.) with Ako and have them crit before Wakamo's explosion?
mob-chan won
due to the roster bloat i propose a period mechanic to spice things up
for a few days a month every student gets hit with a big debuff, depending on the student of course
They could limit students by schools and cycle through them. For instance, for one raid season only Trinity, Shanhaijing, and Red Winter students are allowed to be used, and the next season only Gehenna, Abydos, and Arius students are allowed.
That's terrible, it does nothing but limit your options, and in some types of content your options are already very limited, especially on higher difficulties.
It'd be much better to buff students that basically never see any use, so you might at least consider them. Or make new game modes where they could shine.
Yeah let's not do that
>let's nerf units in a gacha game 4fun
lol?
Gregorius straight up nerfs your striker damage for half of the fight. Are you gonna be mad that you can't use Hina effectively in it?
Back to /vg/ with you
What would PvP look like if they deleted vehicle units, cost reduction and evasion tanks?
A shitshow
So not much different from what it is currently
you mean like back to season1 but with more powercreep dps?
i give up, im just gonna auto the lowest level
frick jfd
been postponing it until the very last couple of hours before the reset each day, at my limit as well..
you literally just need shanako and momiji half-equipped for a comfy 125 coins, why are you so dramatic about this?
I'm not either of them, I do my JFDs diligently. But it does take a fair amount of time due to having to do 3 battles every single day, so I understand and agree with many players who want there to be a way to only do JFDs once and sweep them for the rest of the week. There's no point in making casual players play every day, people who want to tryhard and improve their score every day can do that if they want to.
Frick
It feels so satisfying to max out all of the equips on a student I like or use a lot
Finally got to the cap, should be a lot better with that additional trickle of reports flowing in, hopefully.
surprise 1 week rerun of bunny event
Hope not, I barely have a spark and I WILL roll for bunny sexo
JFDs are also just less fun than bosses. There's no cool designs, animations, music. It's not even students or interesting and thematic scenarios like the challenges for Trip Trap Train. JFD, more than anything else in the game, exists solely for rewards with zero pretense of meaning to entertain the player.

New collab will be announced on the 20th
Who asked? Really
so len/rin and/or luka then
so announced on the 20th, live on 24th? another dead week?
Halloween bros, its joever
Honestly I hope it's something I don't like AND not meta so I can safely skip it without any worries.
I don't think there's literally anything that can be a good collab material but would love to be proven wrong
Anime in ""Acamemy city""
trying to find a non iroha/sshiroko pvp matchup is like that webm of american tinder where every woman is morbidly obese
sshiroko is honestly a bigger threat, your bracket should still have a few that doesn't have her, iroha is tad bit too slow
SAyane/SShiroko in my bracket
Like 90% of top100 uses that
Iroha/sShiroko is kind of an easy target though. Run two yellow tanks and you’ll be fine.
*Goes in and see mika in one lane and iori on the other
>collab
its gonna be shit
one step closer to skins
>shuffle soon
Gonna miss my newbie bracket where I can stay in top 100 with Iroha alone
going to miss my pvp friends
#1 was like lvl 50 when I joined it and now we're all 87 or close to it
I'm still level 70, not looking forward to being thrown in with max level players
hoping for lycoreco or gup
>lycoreco
holy mother of shit taste
these are the best choices but i'd be fine with them surprising us with some boomershit
rayearth collab lets go
i hope it's vtubers
aw hell nah
Just say steins gate, that's the classic and most effective bait
Is it cost-efficient to buy T6 selectors from the permit shop or should I stick to just T2-T5 and save permits for eligma while farming T6-T8 the old fashioned way?
I keep reading that's Index. Why would anyone want that? Or vtubers for the matter.
Whatever it is the opinions are going to be split and there's bound to be someone really unhappy, hopefully unhappy enough to do something in minecraft.
Index is because it's the "welcome to academy city" stream. However if it's Index it's probably actually Railgun anyway.
Vtubers is just wishful thinking from vtuber fans but realistically it's not very likely. This also applies to other gacha like Nikke(which is the only thing that would actually piss me off).
Kivotos has always been called an academy city and the stream logo does have "Kivotos" in furigana above "academy city" but it's kinda weird that they would title the whole stream like that, I mean it's been almost 3 years why are you "welcoming" us into Kivotos again? Sure I guess they are welcoming the new collab units into it but things still don't quite add up, and Kivotos isn't always referred to in full as "academy city Kivotos", only sometimes, so it's still kinda weird to put "academy city" front and center.
It would only make sense if it referred to Toaru.
wake up sensei time for jfd
Is the new pvp season indoor?
>500M+ credits
>400+ pink reports
>300+ on all eq tiers
>no need for any hard mode ligmas
>insane raid is a cakewalk while torment is still too expensive
the stalemate continues
Wish I was in your position and didn't feel like refreshing every 2x normal and commission to have to keep my students decently prepped
maybe if i never bothered with torment i'd be in the same position. the grind for multiple students really drains me dry
purple raid not looking good...
must be lycoris recoil, they are doing collabs with everything
While I would rather have the Lycoris Recoil girls I think I like Railgun more as a collab choice because LycoReco sets a bad precedent.
What precedent? Collabing with collab prostitutes? You think Nier Automata or Persona 5 will follow?
God I hope so, would finally quit it for good and never look back.
Wait raid is today?
Threw me off too, usually there's no overlap with JFD
Praying lycoshit doesn't get a collab because yurishit is the last thing this series needs, maybe 2nd to vtumors.
there's not a single collab that would be an improvement to the game in any way
The collab is Blue Archive. Banner is Kuroko
strike witches please
uniqlo collab please
Did my 3 daikessen runs on day 1 again. As long as I stay in gold everything is fine.
most infuriating shit about jfd is tanks dropping the spaghetti and running off to another country despite being able to shrug off that shit indefinitely
>tank gets slightly tickled
>chickens out and runs behind DPS
>DPS gets whittled down to almost dead
>keeps standing still
We need a new commision type for orbs.
I'm fricking out of them AGAIN.
buy them in the regular shop
One day worth of shop orbs is like one t7 equip leveled, not nearly enough.
buy them every day
>yellow kaiten insane
>5 mobs
>just use mika and single-target one of them
>borrow another mika to kill kaiten afterwards
damn
i forgot to do jfd again
Trying to crit with M.Arisu is pure antifun. They need to overhaul the crit system.
they need to change the rankings to accommodate the amount of players at max level/doing their best
Chasing crits should be the work of extreme autists, not "everyone who plays regularly and would just like the rewards".
It's not a ranking wank off, especially given the rankings are always filled with the exact same teams simply because, again, people just want the rewards.
The rankings need a significant expansion so that players can play the game as they want, not as "they must".
I've plat everything fwiw, sometimes in the mid thousands, but it's not like I'm proud of it. That is literally all "I was lucky, I guess." Whatever.
its 200 gems once a month, thats not even 2 rolls.
theres barely any reason to try for the cutoffs unless its fun or convenient to you, or you want to scorechase.
200 is 200, and who doesn't like a nice trophy.
Also I'll never really understand arguments against more lax rankings because very obviously, the devs push for more lax rankings. Even if you didn't notice it somehow from the fact that they increase the rankings as the playerbase increases in size, they've also just straight up said it iirc and discussed how there's a balance they want to hit so that there's still satisfaction.
They should just go all in on it. It's not a competitive game. The most fun to be had in BA gameplay-wise is challenges and figuring out JFD comps on your own. Unranked things. Raids are theoretically supposed to challenge your understanding of your students and their capabilities, but it's mostly been a "do you have this specific comp?" check for like a year and a half now instead.
>But Torment
valid argument, though Torment is still a bit too bullshit in its own way. The idea is nice but the execution is very often "get fricked", "another blend of fishing", or "I guess I'll use 10 teams desperately"
>boo hoo the devs need to change the game so that I can get a better score
just do extreme if it rustles your jimmies that much
?si=BUROI88J2VRSw9GW
Feels like the game deleted purple report drops in commissions for my account
thats actually for all accounts
Did that guy who makes the character recommendation images for raids not make one this time?

Thanks, I searched カイテン instead of KAITEN or カイテンジャー
Tiers are fun. Discussing tiers are fun. If they just "go all in on it" and make it easy for everyone then that community aspect disappears and it becomes just another daily. This is yet another reason JFD sucks btw, and also kind of a problem with 大決戦 because for most people the event doesn't even start until the final day.
>Tiers are fun.
No
>Discussing tiers are fun.
yes
>If they just "go all in on it" and make it easy for everyone then that community aspect disappears
No. I guess you don't pay attention during JFD or events when discussion does indeed happen and people suggest several strategies to go complete missions. Also this happens in raids regardless.
>it becomes just another daily.
Factually fricking incorrect? The dailies are all sweeped.
>This is yet another reason JFD sucks btw, and also kind of a problem with 大決戦 because for most people the event doesn't even start until the final day.
I very rarely see people thinking JFD "sucks". It's the only mode where you are absolutely forced to use multiple teams and think about your roster.
>I very rarely see people thinking JFD "sucks"
lol
>the only mode where you are absolutely forced to use multiple teams and think about your roster.
only the first few. we been getting the same shit different flavors every month since
also
your torment?
your Wakamo?
Bro people were saying jfd sucks in this very thread
yeah i said that but what i meant is having to complete it every day sucks, jfd in itself is alright
also I don't get how you could honestly think "just doing what rank 1 does" fun (or highest Insane rank), like that isn't discussion--it's following what other people are doing exactly and not thinking for yourself because thinking for yourself means you lose.
i don't think that's avoidable in the current day and age
some people don't have all the units rank 1 uses
they should hide team comps until the raid is over and reveal everything then
do it like PvP and only show the first striker and maybe one special
yeah because that's totally the same thing
i watch replays on youtube anyway
everyone would just watch youtube strats
it's genuinely as simple as "accommodate the dedicated playerbase" and voila, now people don't have to run the exact same team over 40,000 ranks
https://twitter.com/wixoss_TCG/status/1714838792060682505
Wixoss collab?
the heck?
I wonder if the announcement leaked early or someone fricked up, isn't this what they were supposed to announce tomorrow on stream?
Honestly? I'm relieved.
Could've been MUCH worse, we've dodged a bunch of nuisances.
anon, the wixoss collab was already announced from our last summer stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/Z_2K4iuJzqQ?si=q--Wiawygz4M5uyF&t=3341)
the one that they'll reveal on our next stream probably a different one.
Then this was HORRIBLE timing to announce it given that we're all waiting for a collab tomorrow
anon, they've announced it since 2 months ago from the summer stream...
The wixoss twitter themselves already announced it since September(
https://twitter.com/wixoss_TCG/status/1706216970801054170)
and they've started previewing the card since september too, it's not something that they've just announced recently anon...
if you're waiting for a collab TOMORROW then you know whatever gets announced TODAY can't be it.....
it will be very underwhelming if it's just card game collab. but that's probably better than a collab that will bring shame forever

Misaki might be PVP meta
the other two are dogshit
>HoD
PURPLE RAID
PURPLE RAID
meh
not my students
Frankly, I'm disappointed with the stream, at least the collab isn't something insulting but I don't care for Raildex at all and I was hoping for some actual BA stuff and we only got Volume 5 and the new raid announcements.
It's not like they lied
This was a collab stream from the start and that's what you got
>some actual BA stuff
Like?
Whatever banner is coming after that collab event.
you really think they'd tell you when they want you to waste everything on collab?
I'm saving hard for whatevers next
that's literally the volume 5 banners, they even got a VA
You mean they even got a VA tbhWA
the tbhwa caught me offguard, i fricking love oujosamas
>Volume 5 and the new raid announcements.
Which is a lot on its own
We also got a pretty massive change to Bond Gear considering 5* is no longer a requirement for T2.
Not sure what else you were expecting, considering Vol 5 means the next event/rerun is going to be quite a while from now.
How do I make JP account..? Any guides about it?
yes a shit ton if you try looking it up
if you don't know Japanese, don't
Still preferable to troonlations and discord ads.
If you don't know japanese you really should not because there's a lot of reading to be done
I skip everything other than momos.
as long as you aren't insufferable about it like the /vg/ people that do that same thing, be yourself and enjoy yourself however you want.
>actually reading momos
that's soulful so you are forgiven
most people read the man story but skip the momos, at least for everyone other than their waifu
I skip the momos in JP because I can't read them
I skip them in global because there's no fricking way i'm going to spend weeks reading all that
I just read them occasionally when I feel like getting a new l2d, the content is way too good to outright skip.
Grab the APK from here: https://m.apkpure.com/%E3%83%96%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AB%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96/com.YostarJP.BlueArchive
You can play the game without a VPN, though you'll have to make a JP Google account if you want to purchase anything.
I have a JP google account, how can I get the game to realise I'm using that one instead of my english one? Do I just need to redownload the app through JP google play store rather than qoobit?
if you registered your google acc in jp location, your google playstore should show up jp version and you don't need to install from third party
the method that's been verified to work is: delete your normal google account from your phone, verify that the Play Store is logged in to your Japanese account, launch blue archive, verify you can buy pakeji, re-add your normal account, fix up anything that may have gotten messed up while your main account was missing
A simpler method that I believe should work: Go under settings > google > settings for google apps > play games > sign in account > change > sign out of all games, then set your default account to the Japanese one, then launch Blue Archive
I'm using multiple google accounts and you don't really need to do that. I use us google acc, it shows me global BA, I switch to JP and it shows me jp version.
Yeah that works if
But if you installed via APK, realized you can't buy pakeji, then created a JP account, that's not going to work
honestly buying pakeji from google is risky. They can block your acc from purchasing for no reasons and if you use gifts card, your balance will be lost forever
i didnt know its ban worthy behaviour and risky. maybe thats just a sign i should play completely f2p then
uh it's not banworthy unless you're using third app to cheat ingame. They will just disable your ability to buy pakeji and that's it
oh! okay, i misunderstood. so worse case scenario im just back to where i started not buying anything. thank you! ^,^
I must confess. I wasn't a Mika enjoyer in the slightest but something snapped and I went through all the available material on pixiv and panda in a span of couple days and now I'm a different man.
Unless you're literally unable to read them, skipping momotalks is terrible because you can only read them the proper way (with the opening momotalk followed by the bond story scene and then the closing momotalk if there is one) once, and after that you can only experience that again by watching videos on youtube which just isn't the same.
If someone made an online momo talk reader like the CG viewers for some games then I'd probably be more motivated to read them
7s cc on both hod pillars might be pretty good
I should have proofread since using "considering" like that twice is ugly as frick

New event uses a box raffle to obtain Saten elephs and BD/note selectors.

I'll vote for the don't be autistic, literally nobody will see it or care.
are we getting an anniversary banner at the end of the month ? I thought that was on Feb

this doesn't really say anything because everyone is saving their tickets for the last day
the line only shifted by 30k so far, 3EX is still quite safe and anon was asking about 2INS which is crazy, this isn't Binah and there was a cutoff relaxation recently

If I took one of the JTF mobs home, nobody would notice
look at these massive calves damn
She did a lot of running in Arius
Do you get one support for each color each day or only one support each day?
Supports are per-ticket, with lockout for the day.
Frick I didn't consider that even if I can use multiple supports there's only one Ako to borrow. Though I guess it doesn't matter since everyone gets the 10 pull regardless of rank
Thanks.
you can't reuse the same unit on a different color on the same day
Don't think I can ex this one..

Wait nevermind I did it lmao get fricked loser
As someone who recently returned after months of not playing and is interested in buying the 3* student selector, which character brings more "worth" than the rest?
So far from the 3* student selector i can pick up
Summer Nonomi
Mine
Shigure
Christmas Serina
Noa
So which one of these is the best for picking up with the selector? i'd appreciate any advice
Definitely nomnom
I agree, i feel as if she's pretty good to have overall and that maybe i can get by over the others, but i'll be open to more advice before purchasing the selector, still thank you
I don't know, I feel like Mine is the most important there.
Mine is extremely important and core for greg while you can borrow nonomi and just cope with not having the rest.
How is Mine important? enlighten me since i don't know her kit
Gregorious raid requires you to apply debuffs, a lot of debuffs, and Mine is a great source of debuffs because she alone has 4 debuffs. You might have to actually invest on her to survive but having your own mine would allow you to borrow something else you're missing for the next time greg rolls around.
As opposed to Summer Nonomi, who definitely wants UE50 and isn't used outside of raids where you can easily borrow her.
Xmas serina has seen a fair amount of use but normally there's alternatives or comps without her while neither shigure or noa are necessary and you shouldn't really feel bad about not having them.
Alright, thank you for the info, i have never fought greg in the raid so i might as well get something that might allow me to survive better, thanks
why mine and not summer nonomi?
Hopefully she and her team can become playable one day, but the wait for them will be too high i guess

Reminder to read (or skip) the new mini-story before tomorrow's maintenance. Don't want to miss out on these gems.
・Students currently visiting the 1st and 2nd stores will not visit other stores. (There are no visits in different costumes.)
・It is possible to use the invitation function to invite students who are visiting a neighboring cafe to another cafe. Please note that when you invite someone, the student who was in the cafe next door will leave the cafe.
・Regarding the invitation function, just like the first store, only one person can be invited at a time at the second store. (You can invite one person each to the 1st store and 2nd store.)
Oh goodie, more clicking through menus. Why does every gacha ever fall prey to this? Constantly piling up more and more mundane shit up.
nice i should be able to get full or near full bonus, though not for the first day since i'm waiting for the 大決戦 ticket before sparking
as for the cafe i don't really care since i barely touch students in it anyway. especially with the change to bond gear it feels like a non issue
Would be cool if I could do the inviting for both cafes from the same menu, but I doubt that'll be the case. Also cafe patting is just gonna get more tedious, they should have addressed the "pat every 3 hours" issue. Now I get to play Where's Wally twice every 3 hours.
https://bluearchive.jp/news/newsJump/376
Zero mention of a choice to turn the "increase visiting chance of students with interactable furniture" feature off. What a fricking travesty. I want to set furniture because it looks cool, I don't want the student associated with that furniture to cuck other students from visiting my cafe.
Seeing a lot of people say this was already the case (and this update is just going to increase it even more since it scales with cafe rank) but yes I agree. My cafe is an ugly mess that exists solely to max my stamina earnings. I don't actually want Mika and Nagisa to show up every day just because I'm using their table for points.
wait, this is actually a thing? if you set up interactable furnitures you will get more chances for your favorite students to come?
nta but it was always a speculation that furniture/sets massage the appearance chances. Devs never were clear about visiting mechanics, but there are ingame systems that would facilitate that. Whether it's actually active presently is unclear
https://twitter.com/saotome013/status/1715341521275507140
It says "increase the probability that students with interactable furniture show up"
It doesn't say it wasn't already higher than the base probability, only that it's getting increased further
really? i only use interactable furniture to lock certain students in them so i dont have to hear their voicelines, interactable furniture was already in kind of a bad spot and this only seems to make it worse.

Should be safe
I swear if Shokuhou becomes a PVP mainstay I'm gonna be buttmad
unless her target AI works like shun she's just going to MC the tanks which isn't good at all
doesn't her skill affect a single target then bounces off to 2 other targets? the effective range seems really small though
doesn't even seem to reach 450
it's target + closest to the target within the circle
>指定した相手およびその円形範囲内の最も近い敵2人に対して
oh my bad
They definitely intended her that way, with Misaka being her counter
Whether she'll get cheesed by a superior meta or not is another thing.

As a 2nd anni newbie, should I be spending the mastery tickets on titanium needles? I buy the monthly pakeji so I've been drowning in personal weapon mats so far but I'm not sure if that's going to change as I get into the endgame with lvl40/lvl50 requiring crazy amounts of mats
No, if you're buying monthlies weapon XP is a non-issue. Things might change if/when level is bumped to 60 and you need to upgrade dozens of guns at the same time, but I wouldn't waste mastery certs now.
It's best to not buy them until you really need them. You get a ton of those mats with the monthly pakeji. One thing I do though is focus on whichever school exchange gives me the purple mat I have the least of.
>It's best to not buy them until you really need them.
That's how I got burned with enhancement orbs.
Slowly stocking up on something that's in very limited supply for a year before you need it could be important.
Well in the case of the orbs it wasn't that hard to catch up though
The difference is that monthlies don't give you a ton of orbs for free, it's still on you to fully control the rate at which you purchase orbs. Which means that can have a total intake of 0 orbs if you neglect them, but if you're doing your school exchanges daily that's a steady supply of UE mats so it's way easier to bounce back even if you theoretically run out (which many people say you won't anyway)
arius bros.. the plan..
Speaking of UEs, is it possible to add which UE mats get the bonus for each students' UE on the wiki? Could be good for planning UE farming, particularly for F2P players.
Oh nevermind, I just noticed it depends on the weapon type and that's already listed on the wiki: https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Unique_weapons
My 1T insane for Blue Kaiten looks to have left me safe (~9000).
protip, just fricking use SPHasumi, malding with MAris or Hinata is not worth it.
>used Wakamo + nyMutsuki once and never looked back
Wakamo is another option, but not everyone has a maxed out Wakamo AND NYMutsuki. I have neither, I needed to borrow Mutsuki.
Campaign schedule says bounty 2x was supposed to start at 4 AM today, but it's not showing up in game at all. In fact, there are zero campaigns running right now.
apologems to use on the collab, based
>one extra day and 5 bounty apolotickets
u rike?
I'm glad I didn't spend the 30 tickets I had saved up or I would have been pissed.
i crave foxussy
wtf I used my bounty tickets already
bricked as frick.
I just did Hardcore *3 since it's not even worth trying without Akos
I got Insane *2 with no himari no ako no nyfuuka no ui no nykayoko and it wasn't even hard
after you take care of the murderous first half you can just keep throwing bodies at the second half
and you can just borrow the same ako over 3 days
Wonder how good or bad the eleph rate for Saten will be, lottery boxes are usually pretty bad, aren't they?
At least it seems we'll get 8x20 in the first part before it goes to infinite mode so that'll be enough to 3* with some left over
>raised btoki to 5* + 5/10/10/10 for kaiten
>ended up not using her
How do you update on JP? i've tried QooApp and it doesn't work, i'd appreciate any help or advice
only if there's apk update where you can update via qooapp/taptap
else data download is only available after maint is over
So, does qooapp actually have the update or not yet? i don't remember a lot and i barely got the game up and running a few weeks ago since i left
I'm using bluestacks btw so i don't know if there are better options for playing BA JP
I mean i'm trying to update it but it only says this so i don't know what to do
i'd really really appreciate any help since i'm dumb as shit when it comes to updating JP stuff
Update is only up on appstore for now but datamines are usually done through android so wait for the apk to update
The app logo after the update has a railgun collab logo
I already noticed, thank you for relieving my dumb ass lol, it was just a matter of patience after all
i think qooapp tends to take longer to have the update. appstore is definitely available already
mmmm sadly i only have google playstore on JP and it doen't allow me to update it because it says my device is non compatible
Like i said i really don't know how to optimize the game and such, i'm running it on bluestacks so i don't know any other options
nta but apk still hasn't updated in google play store on my end
usually it comes up a few minutes after 1200 JST
Alright, guess i'll just have to wait then, thank you
oh since we're getting new story soon i guess i need to worry about datamines again
was lame having some fox stuff spoiled from vol 4 ch2
Update is up on Qoo
remember that you can use your daikessen ticket on this banner if you plan to pull it, so you don't have to worry about it expiring before another banner you want to pull
Some stuff from the client update:
Basic TH/TW/EN support added to code (likely merging codebase for ease of development, don't expect to get english on JP client)
Unlockable stickers with loads of conditions
BirthdayMail mailtype
OneStore (KR app store) support
Tokiwadai/Sakugawa are ETC school subtypes
Yukari cometh
who?
I'd like to claim I memed her back into reality with tarotposting after Saten's furniture was shown.
>Purple
Probably the tbhwa in the tease reworked
Hopefully she gets her artwork and overall art style updated, because that image is too old lol
Did she ever appear in any story is she just a CBT thing?
I don't think she was ever seen or even mentioned, all we ever had was the unused sprite. There are still a few students from those times we never saw again, probably safe to assume a redesign if they ever get unshelved, like the one Reizyo got.
JP download up
Why am i hearing constant moderato
uwaa i hate new event days

I fricking hate this prehistoric design. This wouldn't be an issue if the cafes loaded instantly but it takes a day and a half just to move to each cafe, the least they could have done was streamline the UI so I could handle my students in both cafes from one of them.
Did they fricking reset cafe AP at start of maimt
no, mine was nearly full as it should be
I never logged in today...
I had a moment like that once where I could swear I should have more jims than that so I left a ticket and they provided me with a detailed breakdown of my actions (pretty fast reply too, like less than a couple hours) and turned out I was moronic after all..
Nope its a bug
https://twitter.com/nfYvCHGy/status/1716764247798198631
NEXONNNNNN
everything is fine for me
redeemed second cafe as soon as the servers got back up
To upgrade cafe 2, sweep normal 14-5, 16-5, 18-5, 20-5, 22-5, 24-5 to claim your new cafe cores. Also, you have to sweep one node, claim the core, then sweep the next node, etc because the next core mission doesn't even show up until you claim the previous core.
But I dumped everything on event.
thanks!
>sweep one node, claim the core, then sweep the next node
Not true, you can sweep all of them and claim one by one
didnt even realize they added new missions for this, thanks
are you required to max cafe 1 first? i dont see them yet
who the frick even asked for two cafes
two invites i can get by
you can invite another student on 2nd cafe
yes i'm aware
that was really nice. Good job Nexon, better than Hoshino's tadaima
>Saten is 12 years old
HUH????
how daikessen ticket timer work? if i claim it one day before next daikessen, it will expire 30 days?
nah, it has designated expiry date, you can check it yourself on daikessen reward page by clicking the ticket if you're curious. they write the date when the ticket will expire there on the ticket explanation.The Kaiten one will expire after 30th november.
i see, thanks
the ticket's expiration is already decided, doesn't matter when you claim it
>you can't increase phthalates CC bar with misaki mental out
oof
Guess she won't work on Hod then. My gems are safe.
nvm it actually work, i forgot you have to wait a bit for the gauge to appear
They should expand the grand assault ticket expiry by 1 month (or just remove it entirely). It was more manageable when you had 2 whole months to use them by buying them at the start of the month, but now that they're a raid reward you only get them at the end of the month so you only effectively have 4-5 weeks to use them which feels way more restrictive compared to 2 months.
Finally some good fricking emblems
So did the event explain why Misaka and Misaki have halos?
any info for upcoming banner after railgun banner?
Peeking at the datamine channels, there's a lot of Yukari mentions
See
Hyakkiyako character, possibly the tbhWA we saw in the trailer? I'm just making a guess here, not telling you who it is.
>Hyakkiyako character
Frick, so they really did steal the name from the Wild Hunt witch. It's over...
>SR
>Sonic
uh oh, raid must-pull coming through
have info her skills?
actually yes but its too early and can get changed so it's not useful info
She seems like a damage dealer though?
Eh, I'll post it anyway. Make sure to take this with a grain of salt since it's just early frame data analysis by dataminers.
https://rentry.org/fiwys
>hat hairpin watch
The dreaded overused combo
tbf, giving them bag/badge instead of hairpin would make them really good and anything other than a watch would be bad for a dps
>Cost 7
Lmao even
Bro?
good point but i'm still not pulling for her, i really need to save up as many gems as i can before the anniversary banners arrive
i wonder who will be the 3rd anniversary unit this time around
>i wonder who will be the 3rd anniversary unit this time around
I think it'll be either Seia, Rio, or Kisaki.
cost 7? that's too high
at this point they should give EX skills that can't have cost reduced because it just means slot wasted on ui/new year fuuka
you ok bro?
I thought her name was Midomo ?
which is it ? what is it ?
Midomo (身共) is a first-person pronoun
Wild Hunt is scrapped it's over
Renge and Kikyou
any datamine on how many saten elephs you get per lottery after the 8th one?
3 per 1800 tickets
about 158 AP per eleph
>shitty shard rates
>no oopart drops and the tech note, BD drops are shit
yeah not really feeling it this time. and this event runs for 2 weeks?
>no oopart drops
The lack of ooparts from recent events has been painful. Ichika's event didn't have them either. I'm focusing on Trinity bounties right now because I really need more purple mandrakes.
https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Saten_Ruiko
This update is hell to wade through, so bear with me.
>Every 45 seconds, increase Attack of one ally by 10.9~20.6% for 3.
I think you meant to put the duration of the effect in seconds here.
Yeah, should be fixed now
Her kit is valuable because the game needs more non-red special attackers. Would be better if she had a defense debuff/ignore though to deal with Perorodzilla
is she basically just karin except aoe EX instead of single target?
https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Shokuhou_Misaki
Misaki's EX damages the other 2 targets as well
stop it, i just did a double spark for the purple students

>accuracy passive
so probably how they make sure she wouldn't be to be a meta carry in pve
Not sure if better or worse than Junko.
I'm glad that at least they make the collab units not be unfairly overpowered over the normal students
Looking at their stats i'd rather save up my gems for the anniversary banners and what not
>the very first line of the event says とある
Lol

New gear
Miyako love!
much appreciated
i think it's borked chief (other than sumire)
I think Miyako's is wrong
the normal skill damages and applies decreased CC resist debuff to the enemies, not an increased CC resist buff she applies to herself
still useless as frick though, unless Hod calculates his own CC resistances to the CC gauge as well. or yellow greg
Yeah, I'm fixing the translation, it's my mistake. Still not sure how it actually works though. Is it one target, or everyone hit? Does it stack?
miyako's NS is a spreadshot AOE so the debuff should apply to anyone hit
no mention of it stacking so i'll assume it doesn't
trying to find footage of it in action. my miyako isn't affection 20 yet
Thanks for your work
server jobbing as usual
this was on misaka banner, at this point i am just praying to not be either of them when i see the purple envelope
>they're not even that OP
>doing 400 rolls
sasuga
Kek the BGM disappeared during quest 06 and all I could hear was my students talking and blasting stuff
pimping them out for money
i will dangle the shit out of them
no Idea how accurate is this summary of the event
>eimi calls sensei telling him she found 3 isekai students in a ruined millennium facility
>himari forms a plan to get them back home
>you go find misaka, misaki and saten in order
>engineers make guns for all 3 because yankees were attacking them thinking they were unarmed
>you decide to investigate the facility the following day and spend the first day showing them around kivotos (it's just a fade to black though)
>proceed to facility to have engineer club repair the facility and install a new chip himari gave you
>facility goes into defensive mode and sends a million bots at you
>misaka railgun's them to hell and the engineer club fawns over her
>finally reach facility
>it teleports mobs from all across kivotos into a mosh pit
>misaki mind controls them to allow engineers to repair the facility
>repairs finish and everyone gets sent back in order
>misaka, misaki and saten all leave their guns with sensei as a memento because both their memories of kivotos and the things they obtained while there will disappear
>eimi doesn't understand the significance of doing so but himari insists this experience will be good for her
>everyone says goodbye
I'd rather read it myself honestly. Either in pure JP or whenever a translation hits.
Summaries suck because I want to enjoy the stories instead of purely consuming content and injecting spoilers in my veins..
>isekai students
The very little interest I had just vanished, might as well just skip it.
I'm waiting for the voice-over version (from Natori)
I might attempt and watch all the available RailDex adaptations before this event ends
I've never gotten around to it and I've got lots of free time now anyway.
My autism must be sated if I'm going to have these characters in my roster.
I tried and it's really cringe. I might have loved it had I been a teen, but main is it rough watching now.
I hated it as a teen as well
i would suggest skipping index entirely but i enjoyed railgun
You can't really skip index, you need to watch both to get the full world. And if you're already going into it with the mindset that you'll hate it so much that you want to already skip it then it's best to not watch it at all.
yes you can. index is a bad series. railgun is not. "the full world" doesn't matter, stop being a lore autist and pay attention to the story in front of you.
I wasn't asking for your shitty opinions or melties over people enjoying things you don't, keep your autism in /vg/.
That anon was interested in watching the series and it's much more enjoyable when you watch both and get the complete picture since they both happen at the same time and are in the same timeline except Index follows Touma while Railgun follows Misaka.
If you don't like it then don't watch it because nobody's making you but the collab is intended for those who actually do like and enjoy it.
Railgun is not a "good story" either lmao. You just like it because it focuses on cute girls. Which is fair but you should be self-aware.
as expected this cafe change is terrible. the buff is way too high, assuming this isn't an outlier.
when i watched s1 i was an edgelord who hated cgdct actually, my friend had to force me to watch it because i went in expecting it to be terrible. i liked it because of saten and level upper despite the cgdct, not because of it.
I fricking hate it. I'm gonna nerf my cafe by removing interactable furniture for students I don't care about raising affection until they add an option to turn this shit off. Gonna send them a ticket complaining about it too. My written Japanese is terrible but I'm gonna がんばる. Hope more Japanese players spread the word about how unwanted this feature is.
it would be great if we could turn it on and off per furniture item
Just so you guys know this system has been known to have been in the game and was only just now made officially known. It's possible that they rose the rate for this specific announcement as we don't know what the increased rates were/are, but it's more likely that nothing at all has changed.
no, it was already in and already announced to be in as i pointed out here
here's the announcement if you don't believe the random twitter user https://bluearchive.jp/news/newsJump/166
now in 2023, they also announced it now scales with cafe rank, which was not previously announced and thus we have no reason to assume was the case until now.
Any idea which students are good for Hod? i never had a good time in that raid so i'd appreciate any advice
A 12-year-old telling me to stay focused... Where did it all go wrong...
Don't forget to collect your grand assault rewards. For some reason they don't show a red dot in the main menu to remind the player, only when you click on it and enter the mode itself.
so that's their way of stopping the dot from showing all the time kek
>calls me posting my opinion a melty while literally having a melty over said opinion
i double sparked this banner bro, i like railgun. take your meds.
Event page is up
https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/A_Certain_Scientific_Record_of_Youth
I probably won't finish the new furniture set, so that'll come tomorrow
Thanks.
By the way, new girls seem to have no liked/loved gifts, just like Miku. Kinda sad.
So, any good "collab" ideas that can fit well with Blue Archive and that doesn't cause meltdowns?
I'd like to see a collab with GFL or Arknights solely because they have characters with guns in them but i really doubt it will happen, as collabs tend to happen by the devs wims instead of actual promotional stuff
I don't give a shit about collabs. Give me a uniqlo collab so I can buy a normalhomosexualized ba t-shirt or something and I'll be good.
This is the best collab, especially if it comes with casual alts of regular BA students instead of outsider characters
>casual alts
Yeah that sounds good.
you can only level it to 4000 max comfort right
to think that I had 120k before summer...
should be good until anniv
>open bluestacks
>game isn't installed anymore
what the FRICK? I was playing it just a few hours ago
>one spark left
>have to spark fuuka
>inevitable new 1-2 limited banners from now until anni
>have to spark anni
it's joever...
rebuilt to 3 sparks and can probably scrounge up like a half of another if needed
max out button for tier equipment doesn't work anymore
yeah it bugs out and you can't decrease the tier either
So, are the collab girls worth pulling, or is it a skip like Miku?
Shokuhou looks like a decent sidegrade to Kayoko for Hod/Hovercraft, you might want to get her if you're lacking in CC students. Misaka looks kinda trash, like only a slight upgrade to Junko, her AOE type means you'd only be using her in yellow Perorodzilla and maybe PVP. Neither are must pulls so you're not really missing out by skipping them.
Alright, thank you
Is rumi worth investing?
Rumi has the odd distinction of being decent at a whole lot of stuff but not being great at any of them with the sole exception of healing duration which she's good at an arguably excessive degree.
She's the only striker healer to get a healing stat up on her UE40 skill, so she needs a ton of investment if you want to get the most out of her. At UE40+ her initial heal is inferior to Kokona's but still good enough to oneshot Hiero's lanterns on torment. She gets an additional heal through her sub which over time surpasses Kokona's, and it's the subskill heal that's useful sometimes like in the last JFD that needed constant heals to dispel attack debuffs on your strikers. She can heal multiple students at once including herself but that's contingent on those students being in close proximity to each other, which means usually she's only going to heal the tank in front of her + herself. Think of something similar to SP.Mari's heal, it's a strong AOE heal but very limited in range. There's one other thing she's useful for though, and that's her debuff cleanse which can be nice for Perorodzilla, but you need her at EX5 for that.
I have her at 3* 5/7/M/M and while she was helpful for saving my tank in Perorodzilla there wasn't any content I found where she was amazing except for the recent JFD where my Rumi surprisingly got borrowed quite a few times.
I see, thanks for the answer.
huh, does the new characters have no favorite gifts? aside from the bouquet
Yeah, seems to be a collab thing. Miku didn't have any favorite or liked gifts either.
Tsubaki furniture when
Fun fact: There's only one (1, uno, ichi) bed in the game so far.
how long does it take to save for spark with full+half monthly again? 2.5 months?
Typically less than 2 months
around 130 pulls per month
i don't understand challenge 3, EX is surprisingly easy
https://youtube.com/shorts/4ookSkFCS_M?si=aVO4wrCbKpWnKImq
students for this feel?
What a tourist question. If you played the game you'd know the students for every feel.
This was a major pain but I'm finally starting to catch up to the endgame
watching the railgun anime so i can enjoy the collab and it's so fricking boring...
zased gambling addiction justificator
just dont watch it then??? why do idiots force themselves to do things they hate?
we would've built a dyson sphere already if only we were as smart as that guy..
Anyone see any Shokuhous doing good/bad in PvP? Normally wouldn't be picky about which cute girls to raise but these isekai tourists are expensive
She sounds good on paper but I also assume she'll usually just hit a tank before becoming a dead slot, and not sure if a Yuuka or Tsubaki shooting someone behind them for a few seconds can even snag a kill if the armor type doesn't match.
no but biribiri is pretty strong right now. instantly melts yuuka and snipes backline for 2/3 cost. might be even better next season too.
So the collab characters are PvP oriented huh
Still, with anniversary in a few months, i'm not sure if it's wise to spend on them, especially someone like me who just returned after months of hiatus and i don't have a lot of the new characters
Who the frick is biribiri please no railgunese here
Interesting, I guess she does sort of fill the same niche as Iori but with a different hitbox/less single-target damage
The one with the railgun that railgunese is named after
>9/10 students have motion furniture
yeah i have to assume that japanese players will realize how problematic this is and start complaining soon enough
Im actually worried about yukari. Making playable characters without no prior intro/cameos in the story isnt the BA way.
When was the last time they do it, Mina? Srt?
It's possible that they might do a rerun for the miku collab banner, and then do the event for the introduction of Yukari, but i might be wrong and they might not introduce her at all
>volume 1 chapter 1 gets released
>Hoshino and Shiroko are made playable with no prior intro/cameos in the story
>volume 2 chapter 1 gets released
>Aris is made playable with no prior intro/cameos in the story
>volume 3 chapter 1 gets released
>Azusa is made playable with no prior intro/cameos in the story

>V123
we were so early into the game its acceptable
>V4
maybe thats why nobody liked rabbits at first
>V5
we spent almost 3 fricking years with this game with dozen of canon hyakki related incidents already. to get a whole new unrelated playable cast leading the story would be kinda weird
Jeez, we spent so many years with the volume 3 and volume 4, i hope that we someday get to see the SRT Fox Platoon as playable characters
are you moronic
well, seems like doing any stages doesn't really matter since the bd and tech notes droprate are arse
so, those who have the index collab units, how do they perform and are they worth it? i'm asking since i've been on hiatus for several months and i just managed to get a spark but i'm not sure if i should save up for anniversary or just skip and save
gameplay wise they are not multi-purpose and op for pve, anni will be 3 months away from now
very well then, i guess i'm better off saving up
by the way, since i'm missing a lot of permanent units, it's recommended for me to save up for the increased rate up anni banners right?
yea, a spark for the 6% banner
Well already got a spark saved up, but how many gems do you think i'll have by the time of the anniv event? so far i got 240 pulls
you will likely end up with 600 rolls by then, during anni they will be giving 100 rolls for a separate banner
>200 on fes banner
>100 on another banner to complete the spark
Interesting, thank you for the help friend, i had forgotten the relative "ease" of acquiring gems, provided i don't go crazy and start spending before then, but i'd rather save up so thank you

these characters sound like terminal hags
Lowkey regret skipping S.Hina earlier this year. Hope she's not powercreeped again by the next time her banner gets a rerun.
yeah same
at least i got s.iori
Since Miku never became purchasable in the mastery shop there's no reason to not UE40 Mikoto right(UE50 I can slowly grind in Schedule)
how long does that take, must be at least 3 years or something?
Sure, if you're actually going to use her. Buying all those frags and leaving her benched would still be a waste.
3 years sounds about right, might be faster now that we have more schools in schedule.
reminder that matsuoka shuzo is inside nodoka's eyes
i want a completely new club for every volume. i'm not going to argue whether it's proper or not, because i don't give a shit. i personally prefer it this way.
Are you counting Hyakkaryouran as a new club or do you want something else too?
Hyakkaryouran proves to me they can have names wrong in the files too and thus Alice is correct.
should i keep rerolling or keep this account? im not worried about meta but just concerned if this is good amount of high rarity units to settle with
Reroll. All three are farmable.
is there a character i should be hoping for then that isnt?
You want either Himari or Ako, preferably both but getting both might be too hard so aim to get at least one of them. Having either one of them will be a huge help in the future.
is there any in-depth analysis of oShigure numbers
or is she just bad
?si=0WucoD4HaIFN9EPm
how do I turn off PV pop out buble in cafe?
there's a toggle in your cafe info screen, click the button where you upgraded your cafe rank
oh thanks, I didn't notice that
Satenbros?...
Explain. They reduced her AOE size?
Nevermind, just saw the tweet
https://twitter.com/Blue_ArchiveJP/status/1717846230209073435
yea, just waiting for the compensations
Third day in a row I get the same students in the cafe... Nexon?!
Damn, 325 MB just for a bug fix?
630 Saten elephs please
too many students
not enough eligma
I still can't bring myself to use it in non-anni students due to fear of them becoming farmable one day
That's fricking dumb anon. UE4,5,6 will happen eventually.
mob wife
>eyes
Ruined.
just realized i logged in yesterday, fricked around and closed the game with the full load of ap unspent haha
Those are signs that you're just getting tired of the game, anon
Better take a break before you completely burn out
yeah i know
i'm talking a break in the form of half assing everything
Doesn't seem like a break to me if you're talking about it here like this
An actual break would be away from it and not let it bother you enough to post about it on some imageboard
no i'm not ready for that
whos a fun unit to get from this 3 star selector ticket? i dont care about meta really
Mine is fun, she has the coolest combat animations and EX cut-in in the game.
i'd grab kokona
cherino, marina, mine or megu
Unfortunately Megu isn't obtainable with the selector since she came out after 2nd anni
its okay, i got her naturally when i was using my free 60 pulls on the misaka banner i guess. i didnt know she was notable
the best anti ny mutsuki+marina teams use her in pvp
Every event Kiriha talks about how the gifts are a good deal but is that just for people who legitimately care about hitting 100
Feels like a waste to me and I'd rather just get more Saten elephs after buying out the Trinity/Gehena/Millennium mats.
F2P btw if that makes a difference
there are no other ways to get gifts apart from crafting
you could buy the gold gifts for unlocking future bond gears but whoever could be using what is up to anyone's guess
it's generally a good idea to keep some stocked up even if you're not into affection grinding
THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Any pvp team plans or are you waiting for map reveal first?
for defense, thinking 2 red tanks and maybe Shun? depends
still thinking about who to use for main dps. Iori seems like the default pick, but i kinda want to try railgun Misaki. depends on how cramped it is and if i can raise her in time
then sShiroko and maybe Moe
it really depends on what my future bracket will feel like using
Use everyone with 3 cost ex and sShiroko to reduce to 2.
Where's the compensation for yesterday's oopsie
i really hate how they added an extra loading your daily chores with the new cafe
you could just ignore the new cafe and you'll have the same income as before the update with the same chores as before the update
yeah i don't get the point of the second cafe whatsoever
could've just made the room bigger with more students to cram into or something
They should add the ability to invite pvp opponents to friends list
I've fought the same guys so many times I feel we have a connection at this point
I noticed the student icons in the affection page on the wiki show the character portraits in rectangles now instead of circles like before. Is this deliberate or some more weird wiki frickery?
Miraheze updated their software and it broke some coustom styling because images are now wrapped in an extra span. I'll fix it, report anything else that looks off.
i sleep
You can start hearing Halloween voice lines in your students' default lobbies today (Oct 30)

First time I've 100% cleared an event including challenges and missions
Challenge EX was pretty fun
First time I haven't cleared the story on the first day
this is the best writing we've had in a year bwo
I like it but it's an extremely generic gacha collab carried solely by Kivotos being Kivotos.
Meanwhile TTT was one of the best events this game has had (I can't call it the best because a few events still haven't been available since I started)
I'll read it on the rerun, surely
>there are people with the peroro title already
how is this possible? or is there a way to refresh cafe bond taps faster
does it maybe count giving a gift as an increase, too?
seems possible if they put a 3hr alarm
How do you get the peroro title?
>tfw didn't realize i had already completed mine
headpat students 450 times, no idea if gifts count. there are other similar missions involving pvp and crafting as well, just check
headpatting means giving them affection at the cafe, right?
yeah
looking at the title again, might be possible giving gifts are considered as well, but sadly i cannot confirm this anymore
alright, thanks
>200 rolls for Misaki
>150 rolls for Mikasa
>got new Momiji, Kasumi, and Koyuki
350 rolls for 5 new studentes, I probably will regret it later. Still have 1 spark left
did you spark Misaki before finishing rolling for Mikasa?
The probability of getting spooked by one banner character while rolling for the other is almost negligible but yeah there's no reason to risk it, I'd kick myself I got a banner dupe on my 350th roll, that's why you should stack sparks and only use them after you're done rolling
I didn't want to roll Mikasa at first but I feel potential in the future so yeah
you'd think misaki would be stronger since she's less popular and needs the help more
Misaka was popular since the 00s, Misaki became more popular in the 10s
idk all the jps i follow were way more hype about her. she's less famous though for sure
saten might be very useful for upcoming chesed raid
hope mikoto is good
expecting her to appear as a sub DPS for chesed core for skill rotations
>seasonal limited voicelines only trigger when you tab back to home screen instead of tapping on students
Why is this still a thing 3 years in
remember to buy up stuff before the next reset
Got 100 elephs each for Yuzu and Sena. After November 1st reset I'll be able to claim both of them
I'm glad I got spooked by Sena and she's useless so I can focus all my blue coins on mats withotu being temped by elephs
T7
oh yeah
T9 coming soon?
Also what's the best cutoff for what to farm and what to buy? I've been farming T6-T8 so far, not sure if I want to buy T6 since there's so much other stuff I want to spend the tickets on
So, which is the next raid? Chesed?
Yeah, starting in 2 hours from now
Thanks for the info. I guess we'll see if the collab characters are useful or not in the end
saten might be used, dunno about misaki, line aoe ain't that great, even junko wasn't used outside of torment
i'm still wondering if it's worth pulling for those two tbh, i'm missing a shit ton of characters because i stopped playing the game and only returned a few weeks ago
I have a spark but my plan is to keep saving up for the third anniversary to hopefully try and get students i'm missing but i don't know what to do
Both of them feel kind of good but not good enough to be must-gets. so I'd say it should come down to how much you like them as characters, or how much you want to tryhard in Chesed (Misaka) and Hod (Misaki). If not very much for either, then don't pull, I personally really feel meh about their characters so I don't feel like I'm missing out on much by skipping. We'll also get to see just how good Misaka is in Chesed by tomorrow so maybe best wait until then at least.
Thank you for the advice, i'll skip them then since they don't seem to be must get units either
i am late to the party but i managed to reroll an account with both collab characters. did i do good lads?
It's decent. Iori is a good character. Would have been better if you got one out of Ako, Himari, Ui, Cherino, or New Year Kayoko alongside the two collab girls but I won't blame you if you want to stop rerolling here and just use this account.
went back to do more rerolls and ended up with this. had to grind out a bunch gems to pull more for misaka because i didn't get her initially but i feel a lot better about this assortment of characters.
Yeah that's an excellent starter account, you'll never have any issue with yellow and blue stages lol. Now clear Area 2-3 so you can unlock the collab event and claim your 12-year-old JC.
Enthralled with how she calls me Sensei
dunno just reroll for a character you like (still mad i didn't bother rerolling aru)
would definitely keep this but i value any limited character over even the most meta non-limiteds, so getting both is godlike. i had to spend 390 pulls to get them both.
iori/tsubaki/chise is a good starter set too, you shouldn't struggle much with progression.
For those here who don't have Kasumi but do have B.Asuna, it might be a good idea to start investing in B.Asuna now if you haven't already. Get her to 20 affection and T2 bond gear, upgrade her badge to T7/8, and prepare the resources to max her EX skill.
AOE defense debuffing looks like it's gonna be a big deal in the upcoming purple raid and there aren't a lot of characters who can do that, so it's a good idea to be prepared.
When is volume 5 dropping? 3rd anniversary?
Finally got the funny chicken title plate
jeez the collab event was shitty. I can't believe they skipped over "let's explore the city since we're here" with one sentence to give up 5 stages of fighting robots in ruins
That's what Momotalks are for 🙂
But yes I agree the event is mediocre. There's some decent individual lines but outside of those it's your generic gacha collab. They should have played to the strengths of Kivotos more.
But to look on the bright side maybe this means the good writers were busy on things like Trip Trap Train and Vol5 instead.
what's the point of rerolling? you can get everyone you want on their banners within the course of a year, which is a drop in the bucked compared to the total timespan you'll be playing this bonsaige
Saves a lot of suffering about having to pick which rerun banners to roll on, or which new banners to skip for rerun characters, etc. If you already have Himari you only have to worry about Ako, etc.
not everyone has infinite pulls bro
i skipped cherino
twice
Same. Might roll her while rolling for Takane next year but I don't want to roll just for her.

give me himari rerun
right now
Just noticed bounty rewards now show up in descending order of rarity (i.e. purple first) now instead of randomly. That's nice, I don't have to scroll through a mess of mats to see if I got a specific purple drop anymore.
Why the frick does Chesed, a stationary object, have EVASION?
Chesed isn't the one evading your bullets, your bullets are the ones evading Chesed.
i though i can only do ex and swiped but after that i realized 2t ins is also possible
im bricked...
So is misaka being used?
no, there are better options, also i see moe being used instead of saten, guess the bigger aoe helps
Saten being one hit already makes her a tier below
the thing i appreciate about collab characters is that so far they don't seem to be blatantly overpowered, at least the balancing between collab and permanent characters is not unfair
>have to pull because if you don't it might be impossible to get them again
>they're worse than trash you'll get spooked by randomly without even trying
the balancing between collab and permanent characters absolutely is unfair
nta but it's a weird thing to balance. like you said, it sucks when limited/collab characters are underwhelming and just collect dust in your box but you still feel compelled to pull cause who knows if they'll ever rerun it. on the other hand i've played games in the past where collab characters ranged from meta defining to straight up busted and that's not the most pleasant thing to deal with either.
misaka only appeared at the top 400ish earlier, once
probably lower now since it's lunch break in jp right now
do i just farm event stages with my stamina daily? im a new player and not really sure how to work these things
clear story stages for cafe upgrades (boost passive stamina gain) until you get walled, then spent the rest on event stages to get what you need from the event shops and empty the event gacha box for at least 7 time before the rewards get reduced
How do I 1kupa Chesed? I have a maxed Mika but the best I got is 800k remaining. Do I need to UE50 out my specials too to squeeze everything from the tiny stat sharing they provide?
you can use mika to bruteforce 2 EX even before chesed is opened
then you probably also need nyaru cost refund to squeeze in
mika (cost reduced) > himari > nyfuuka > nyaru (cost refund) > momoi > mika
to make up any remaining hp left
there also ui comp, where the damage boost from ui helps quite a lot or iori critfish along with mika
1. Ui (on Mika)
2. Clear most of the adds with Momoi
3. Wait and build up cost, set battle speed to low, hope nobody dies to self-destructing adds
4. Core opens, prepare Mika's EX for firing but wait for Natsu's normal to buff Mika first, this part helps kill the boss more reliably
5. Mika -> Ako -> Himari -> Momoi -> Mika
6. Dead boss
I don't have Natsu, Ui or Ako
But this worked. SHanako is too damn OP even against yellow, damn. I wonder if you can tweak it so that you clear 3.5 waves with the first party and then in the second party you just let autoattacks take care of the rest, relieving the need for Hanako and Yuuka and letting you focus on buffs
Hopefully 27.4M will be enough for my first plat
glad it worked
>Hopefully 27.4M will be enough for my first plat
it's definitely not going to be enough
it's very easy to 1T it if you have the correct units
is there a score penalty for multiple parties or is it just time, and the 15 seconds to get everyone in place creates the difference?
nta, but time only anon
1T requires no tank and no healer, I can't do that, I don't have the reports, credits and equips to get everyone's HP high enough for that bullshit, I'm not a day1 or even year1 player
That's what I want to know, I'm trying the 1T parties (as my second party) and can't 1kupa, there's not enough buffs, I don't get where the difference comes from
I did it with this setup, cleared 2 waves + left 1 add on the third wave with the first group
Getting enemy HP bars remaining on screen even after exiting Chesed
Old man is just so erotic censor bars don't know where to go
2T torment
Time to rock tmr
>no hypestream for new volume
Ok i hate the collab now
We don't have any new content to speculate off of other than one visual and a voice line. Wait until the chapter drops. They've been working on this for a long time so I expect a decent amount of quality CGs.
the frick is a kupa
i know it's the sound for vegana spreading from hentai manga
Refers the to the part where Chesed is opened up and vulnerable to damage
yes that's the joke, Chesed-tan exposes her private parts to you
