Christmas event

Justin’s event planner

• Justin’s event planner.
  • Calculates the most optimal farming route. Helps you decide if adding more AP is worthwhile.
• To set the bare minimum, set Targets to “min clear”. E.g. Stop after buying wanted shop items and farming Y event points.
• To make it keep spending AP, set Targets to “Currency”. E.g. Keep farming gacha boxes, artifacts, elephs, gacha cards, or lessons.
• The event planner takes remaining days into consideration.

Seventh’s event guide

The Cathedral's Merry Christmas Event

• Very simple event, standard box type, farm event currencies and make sure to open all the first 6 boxes and buy at least the Pyroxene, Eligma, and Secret Tech Notes on event shop.

Which stages are the best to farm?

• Quest 9 for all 3 currency
• Quest 10 for Christmas Stocking
• Quest 11 for Candy Cane
• Quest 12 for Christmas Gift
• For clearing All shop (23 boxes), Quest 9 is more efficient. Alternatively you can do Quest 9-11 if you don't mind skipping Credits (15 boxes). For further box farming, you can do Quest 12.

What if I can't clear Quest 9-12?

• This event quest stages recommended level are 10-20 level above the actual enemy levels.
• If you still can't clear them, do the lower set stages. you can use the event planner linked below

How much total AP do I Need to clear all shops?

• Assuming you could do Quest 9-12, and skip the Credits from Eggnog shop (15 boxes), it's around
  • 7,435 AP with Max Bonus
  • 10,895 AP with Min Bonus
• If you want to buy all Credits from Eggnog Shop (23 boxes), it's around
  • 10,735 AP with Max Bonus
  • 16,535 AP with Min Bonus
• Max Bonus (100%/100%/100%); Min Bonus (20%/30%/60%)

Event Shop Priority?

• If you couldn't or don't want to clear shop, you can skip whatever you don't need
  • Wolfsegg/Haniwa > Blu-rayDisc/Technote > Exp Report > Exp Orbs > Furniture (limited)

Is it worth to farm the 7+ boxes?

• Only if you want to farm Serina Eleph & extra T1-T3 Mandrake. EXP report feels like it's just a bonus due to how low value it is. Credit is decent up to box 23th thanks to Eggnog shop
  • 450 AP / 3 Serina Eleph with Max Bonus
  • 750 AP / 3 Serina Eleph with Min Bonus

Event overview

How this event works.

Drop rates, enemy levels

• Use Schale.gg to check the enemies’ true levels (which is what affects the level penalty.

Challenges

• Example videos and mechanics.
• Vuhn Ch’s challenge videos.
• YouTube is your best friend. You may need to use broad search terms, or the name of the event, like “Blue Archive bunny challenge 5” or “Blue Archive get set go challenge 3”.
• You don’t need those exact units to beat it, just students who can do a similar job.

Maximize event bonuses

• Sweep saves your highest bonus per token. You might have to do multiple runs. Do story stage 1 first if an event has a welfare; they always give event bonuses.
  
• E.g. If a stage drops 3 event tokens:

1. Do run #1 for the highest bonus to token A
2. Do run #2 for the highest bonus to token B
3. Do run #3 for the highest bonus to token C
4. THEN sweep.

• You can do 3* objectives one at a time (for all game stages), so try it with unused bonus chars at lvl 1.
• Bonus units can die, but their team cannot forfeit or be defeated.
• If it’s too hard, swap out your lowest bonus unit for a real unit and keep doing that until you can clear it.

Events worth refreshing

• This is just a general guide. Everyone has different priorities. Use Justin’s planner or the old event excel to see which events are worth refreshing for you.
• Use Seventh’s Pyro Planner to track pvp coins, refreshing and sparks. Instructions are on the first tab. You can also check estimated event dates in Midokuni’s “Banner Summary” tab.
• Refresh for any 2x/3x drops you need, like 2x normal, hard, commissions.
• If you’re not max level and you care about optimizing, refresh 3x daily (buy AP via pyro 3 times a day) to progress faster.
• For event details, find them in Story Events or search their title in this wiki. Make sure you’re looking at the appropriate event; it’ll have “rerun” in the title if it’s a rerun.

Hoarding AP

AP hoarding by outi#4797

More visual guide by Kelfran#0178

• Here’s an example of how to hoard AP. The dates in the first guide will be incorrect, but you will do the same steps on the equivalent days. For example, you always start about 2 days before maintenance will end.
• If there’s a high risk you can’t follow these exactly, don’t follow these guides, you’ll just waste AP and pyro. Set alarms to make sure you do it properly.
• You can do simple 24 hour hoarding instead:
  • Collect your cafe AP 24 hours before maintenance will end + a few extra hours after, in case it gets delayed. For example, if maintenance ends at 6 AM, collect at 9 AM the day before, or whenever you usually play after maintenance.
  • You gain 10 AP per hour, so collect/spend so you will have near max/right at max when you play after maintenance.
• Other notes:
  • AP sent to your mail only lasts 24 hours. To be safe, you want to wait so it will last a few hours after maintenance is projected to end (the guides already account for this). Nexon will not refund you lost AP.
  • You cannot refresh via pyro if you don’t have the physical space. Each refresh gives 120 AP, you need that much space x number of pyro refreshes to do it.
  • When you have 999 AP, you cannot claim AP, PvP, raid or JFD (Joint Firing Drill) rewards. That’s why the guide says to fail one normal stage for -1 AP so you can.
