====How to play & team comps====
<br>
[[File:DamageTriangles.png|750px|center]]
<br>
1. Quick guides:
* Make good teams: [https://bluearchive.midokuni.com/doc/GeneralTeamBuilding Midokuni’s General Team Building tab].
* [https://imgur.com/a/1u5Ocby Basic team examples]. Add better aoe DPS from above if you have them.
* Do a few more multi pulls if you’re missing a lot of 2★ essentials in Midokuni’s “reroll” tab.
[[File:SynergyTable.jpeg|thumb|Damage modifiers important for DPS]]
Full tutorials:

* [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jmXbVHQB7Ys Yumie’s video] [[File:ShirokoEmote.png|30px|middle]]. <br>
<br>
2. Boost Serina to 2★. It’s cheap and improves her free heals & EX.
* ''Save the rest of your eligma!'' You don’t need +5★ DPS until insane raids.
[[File:EvasionTanks.jpeg|thumb|Good tank examples for the early game (except Natsu)]]
<br>
3. Use tanks with high evasion like Tsubaki and Yuuka. They use SMG weapons (exception: Natsu uses her EX to sustain).
<br>
<br>
Other tips:
* Tanks who rely on defense (non-SMG) need their Tier 4 bag tank properly.
* After T4: Tsubaki is even stronger, Yuuka struggles a bit compared to others (still perfectly capable). She gets super strong with T1 [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Bond_gear bond gear].
* S. Hoshino is a tanky support, not a true tank. Wait until she can solo the frontlines (usually with a T4 bag).
* If brawlers are too annoying to keep alive, use Hanae, an aoe healer, or skip them. E.g. Izuna, S. Izuna, Michiru, Sumire, Tsurugi.
* Purchase one T4 blueprint set from the expert permit shop to make a T4 bag for your main tank. It’s a big survivability boost.
* Since resources are scarce (especially level 70+), only invest in who you need to clear content. You can expand your roster later when you’re richer.
* Ignore A stages for now (e.g. 3-A). They’re harder and you don’t need them for cafe upgrades.
<br>
====Gameplay tips====
* [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MrjmmehqRLY Gameplay tactics demo].
* Don’t use auto team fill, auto fight, or auto skip battle (unless it’s safe). The AI is as dumb as rocks. [[File:ShirokoEmote.png|30px]] Skip battles acts as if you played on auto fight.
* [https://imgur.com/a/ii6ENlb Gear priority guide]. Level up, gear up. Shotgun tanks will really struggle before T4 bags.
* Balance your AOE between teams, check your EX totals aren’t too high. Double check your teams with [https://bit.ly/MidoTeamBuilding Midokuni’s
* Stages become difficult about 15 to 20+ levels below enemies due to the [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Level_penalty level penalty].
* Prioritize elite enemies (skull icons) or dangerous ones, like backline nukers.

<br>
Line 301 ⟶ 263:
* You can use PvP coins for AP, but events usually offer rare items, so hoard enough for those.
** You need 210 {{ItemCard|Tactical Challenge Coin}} a day x 7 or 14 days to max refresh (but you also gain some everyday).
* Max your cafe comfort when possible for more free AP per hour. Cafe upgrades are in every third chapter (3-5, 6-5, 9-5, etc.)
<br>
Line 315 ⟶ 275:
====Gear====
*
Generally:
*
*
* T4 bags is a huge survivability boost for tanks; newer players can grab them via expert permit shop.
* Use [https://justin163.com/planner/ Justin’s planner] to see the most optimal sweeps for gear farming.
* Prioritize important students for upcoming raids or difficult content.
<br>
====Skills====
Who to skill up:
* Generally save for raids. Mats are sparse, and skills are helpful but not necessary for missions. EX3 is fine on your main aoe DPS if you want to zoom.
* Can boost healers, but EX3 at most early on (if you even need that).
* Tanks don’t have much stats to scale with until end-game. Many don’t even need skill levels; gear and student levels can be enough.
Other tips:
* Stick to the breakpoints; EX: 3, 5. Other skills: 4, 7, 10. These give the most “bang for your buck.”
* Be very picky with popular schools Gehenna, Millennium, and Trinity.
* You can use this wiki, [https://justin163.com/planner/ Justin’s planner], or [https://schale.gg/?chara=Haruna_NewYear Schale.gg] to figure out total resources needed for leveling.
* For Schale.gg:

{{ExtImg|https://i.imgur.com/4R1ynnk.png|center|w=400}}
* [https://i.imgur.com/Srl7NdT.png Causew’s guide to spending eligma].
* Elephs = specific character shards. Eligma = currency used to buy elephs.
* The eligma cost increases every 20 eleph bought, up to 5 cost. This never resets back to 1 cost.
* You can use [https://justin163.com/planner/ Justin’s resource planner] to calculate eligma costs or get estimates for hard mode farming.
* Be crazy picky with your eligma
** It costs about ''2 sparks to boost one DPS for insane/torment'' (UE40). That’s 4 months of pyro saving for F2P.
** Don’t forget your supports who may need 5* for insane/torment.

<br>
Other tips:
[[File:BorrowPower.jpeg|thumb|Example of how easily a good borrow can carry you through hardcore raids]]
* Go for the safe strategies, not the maldy wanpan comps (hair-pulling 1 team speed runs).
* For example: 2 team Kaiten had an aoe team for phase 1, and a single target & shield breaking team for phase 2. ''If you’re strong enough'', you can brute force it and crit mald with one team. Otherwise, do it the safe way. See [https://j163.au/#CausewsGeneralRaidGuide Causew’s General Raid guide] for more info.
* Wanpans are not even the fastest option sometimes. Depends on the boss, terrain, and available units.
<br>

====Clubs & friends====
[[File:BorrowExample.jpeg|150px|thumb|$$$ Why vets and clubs will always welcome newbies]]
* Clubs & friends are very important. You can borrow units for raids, JFD
* Borrows save you from sparking & maxing 1 unit per raid/JFD. Sometimes it’s ideal to use two of that character per ticket.
* A club also gives 10 AP a day, which helps you level faster.
* You can use the friends & club recruitment channels in [https://discord.gg/bluearchiveglobal discord]. You can also filter for high level players in-game. Click the “i“ to see who they’re lending for raids/JFD. [https://imgur.com/a/WfiJsjv How to do it].

====3★ selector====
* BA rarely sells 3★ selector tickets. See [https://forum.nexon.com/bluearchive-en/board_view?thread=2483529 this post] for details.
* The best 2 units are easily Ako and Himari. After that, it depends on you. Check the [https://hina.loves.midokuni.com/Summary/Banner banner summary] if the unit you want will have a rerun.
* D. Hina’s festival sells a school selector instead.
