Global Events

Welcome to BA Global events!

Justin’s event planner

• Justin’s event planner and how to use it.
  • Calculates the most optimal farming route. Helps you decide if adding more AP is worthwhile.
• Use the Owned tab if you’re in the middle of an event:
  • Set your current event currency amounts here, and update the shop by removing purchases you have already made. The planner automatically adjusts to time remaining in the event.
  • Currently, the energy from the weekly quest/Arona login doesn't get reduced.
  • Up to one day's worth of natural regen (10/h) and cafe regen isn't included.

Reddit guide

How to find every Global event guide

• 6_laser’s guide for Abydos Resort event.
• Valiant’s guide for Hidden Ruins (Trinity Summer) event.
• If this link isn’t updated, go to Reddit and find the event guide. Keep in mind it may take a day or so to appear; we’re all humans with busy lives, and new patches start in the middle of the night for many of us.

Challenge guides

• Vuhn Ch’s challenge videos.
• YouTube is your best friend. You may need to use broad search terms, or the name of the event. For example: “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.

Event overview

• Go to the events list. Scroll down JP’s schedule to the current Global event so you’re looking at the proper original or rerun.
• Use Schale.gg for enemy levels, drop rates, maps, and other info. Stages > Events > pick the event > browse stages (pick rerun if it’s a repeat event).

Maximize event bonuses

Bonus guide

• Zoomed in guide.
• The game saves the highest bonus per token achieved in a single run. It applies these bonuses to future runs, including sweeps.
• You can do 3* objectives and challenges separately for any stage in the game.
• Always do story stage 1 first; if there’s a welfare student, this is where you acquire them. Welfares give event bonuses.

Event bonus example

Runs	Token A	Token B	Token C
1	90%	60%	0%
2	10%	20%	80%
3	50%	120%	70%

Outcome

Token A	Token B	Token C
90%	120%	80%

• If you’re strong enough, you can leave bonus students at level 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

• Justin’s event planner.
• The BA Event Resource doc, maintained by VGrunner12.
  • You’ll need to calculate your max bonuses and subtract any shop items you’re skipping. Find this info in the event’s wiki page, listed in Story Events.
• 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.
• To see estimated event dates:
  • The Pyro Planner. Events & banners are listed on the “Event” tab.
  • Midokuni’s “Banner Summary” tab.
• For event details, find them in Story Events or search their title in this wiki. If it’s a rerun, it should say that in the title.

Hoarding AP

There’s 2 methods for hoarding AP; simple & complicated.

Simple 24 hour hoarding

Ez hoard

1. Pick when you will play the new event.
2. Collect your cafe AP 24 hours before that time. If you’re playing right after maintenance, add 3-4 hours in case it gets extended.
3. Spend all your AP.
4. Adjust your general pool so it will cap at the same time; it regens 10 AP an hour.
5. Wait for the event. Adjust your general pool as needed to prevent capping.

For example:

• Maintenance ends at 4AM on Tuesday.
• You decide to play at 10AM the following morning.
• Collect your cafe at 10AM on Monday. Spend all AP.
• Adjust your general pool to cap at the same time (10 AP per hour).
• Don’t collect any cafe AP, don’t spend any AP unless you will cap before the event.
• Tuesday 10AM: You have a full cafe & pool for the event.

The 2 day hoard

Not recommended for lower level players; you lose AP regen (precious account exp), you likely have low bonuses and cannot farm higher stages with max bonuses.

• Here’s an example of how to hoard AP. The dates in the first guide are incorrect, but you’ll do same steps on equivalent days. For example, you always start about 2 days before maintenance ends.
• Set alarms to avoid wasting pyro and AP.

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 lost AP.

To prevent losing hoarded AP, add extra hours to maintenance’s end time.

• 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.
