Recruitment (Gacha)

From Blue Archive Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Recruit menu is where players can use Pyroxene, the game's premium currency, to roll for new characters.

Info[edit]

Each single roll uses 120 Pyroxene that rolls at standard rates and gives 1 Recruitment Point. A 10-roll uses 1200 Pyroxene with at least one roll being 2★ or better and gives 10 Recruitment Points. Rates for 3★ characters are not boosted for rolling 10 at a time.

Duplicate characters will give 1/10/50 Eligma Shards for 1★/2★/3★ respectively, which can be used in the Shop. In addition, duplicate students will give 1/5/30 Eleph for 1★/2★/3★ respectively, which is used for uncapping their Mystic level. Banner rate-up character duplicates grant 20/100 Eleph for 2★/3★ character respectively.

Rates[edit]

  • 1★ - 78.5%
  • 2★ - 18.5%
  • 3★ - 3%

Recruitment Points[edit]

Recruitment Points are given for each roll in both the standard and rate-up banner. Accumulating 200 of them allows player to claim one character featured in the rate-up banner for direct recruitment (this is commonly referred to as sparking). If two rate-up banners are active concurrently, their Recruitment Point pool is shared, and players get a choice of claiming either rate-up character.

Picking a character that has already been recruited will reward x100 of respective characters' Elephs and 50EligmaEligma. It is not mandatory to use points immediately once 200 have been obtained, but once a rate-up period ends all points that are unredeemed are converted to Keystone Pieces for use in the Crafting Chamber.

Rate-Up Banner[edit]

This banner is opened by default in the Recruit menu and features at least 1 character that has an increased rate of recruitment from the pool. A single character will have a boosted rate of 0.7%.

See below for a list of previous rate-up banners. If you are looking to add or edit banner info, go to Banner List or Banner List (Global).

Standard Banner[edit]

This banner contains all non-limited characters including any characters featured on the rate-up banner provided they aren't limited with no increased rates applied for any.

Anniversaries[edit]

Every six months, normal and half-anniversaries are held, which tend to be heavily promoted events that feature corresponding banners with increased drop rates. Anniversary characters are limited in the sense of not appearing in the regular gacha pool, and have never received a typical banner rerun. Instead, each anniversary banner includes previous anniversary characters in the drop table, however they can not be obtained with Recruitment Points.

What anniversary doubled rate means[edit]

In anniversary banners, the overall chance to obtain a 3★ character is doubled to 6%. This breaks down as follows: featured character has an 0.7% drop chance, old anniversary characters have an 0.3% chance each, and the remainder of 6% is divided equally among regular pool 3★ characters.
