* BA uses the spark system. A spark here is doing 200 pulls (24,000 pyroxene worth) and trading the recruitment points for a featured banner student.
* There are only 2 guarantees; a 2★ or better in every multi pull (10 pulls at a time), and the spark.
* '''Recruitment points never carry over''', they convert to small keystones (crafting shards) when banners rotate. You can spend 23,880 pyro and still get nothing from 199 pulls.

====Best practices====
* '''To be safe, onlyOnly pull if you can spark''' (rerolling is the exception). You can spend 23,880 pyro (199 pulls)Recruitment andpoints stillnever getcarry nothingover.
* Do multi pulls (10 pulls at a time) for the guaranteed 2* or higher. More eligma & elephs.
* Set thresholds for when to save or spark if you pull early. Consult your [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Pyro_planner pyro planner] too.
** This is personal preference and can vary depending on the importance of that student’s dupes.
** E.g. 140 pulls or less, save. 170+ pulls, spark. In between…? [[File:ShirokoEmote.png|30px]]
** E.g. Are they a Striker dps? Dupes are important for extreme/insane. Are they a Special support? Dupes are generally less/not important. See [https://bluearchive.midokuni.com/doc/Banner Midokuni’s banners tab] for star/UE and dupe recommendations.
* For hardcore vets:
** If you intend to spark and want both banner girls (e.g. to save eligma); pull on the banner you want dupes of (more), and use the spark to claim the other student. A dupe of girl A on banner B is not rate-up.

* Save one spark for every festival, which appears to be every 6 months.
** [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Festival_banners Festivals have double 3* rates] (same rate-up though). You’re likely to get more students and eligma.
** Even if the festival student is “bad”, they’re limited and there’s no other way to spark them in the future. You just have to get lucky from a spook in future festivals.
** One spark per festival is good. It’s safer to guarantee other students you want than to gamble.
