* The 100 pulls accumulate; you can wait until the last day to do all 100, but they will expire if unused. See [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Banner_List_(Gacha) JP’s banners] for who’s after a fes banner.

 

* Big spenders may want to buy the school packs. They save you about 3 months of normal farming.

* Koharu joined the raid shop when JP got Torment difficulty (on Toki/Nagisa’s banners). It will take ~2.5 months to summon her if you buy her out every shop reset.

# Read [https://j163.au/#LifesBeginnerGuide Life’s guide] to learn the basics. Seriously, read it.

* Enemies in story chapters 13-15, bounties, commissions, and some events are higher lvl than the recommended (check with [https://schale.gg/?stage=1131101 schale.gg]).

 

* For maps: [https://bluearchive.wikiru.jp/?21章 JP Wikiru] and [https://schale.gg/?stage=1152103 Schale.gg] (maps tab).

* YouTube is your best friend. There’s a video for every stage in the game.

* For event challenges, see the [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Global%20Events Global Events] page.

* See [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Global_Events Global events] for event guides, and what’s [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Global_Events#Events_worth_refreshing worth refreshing]. You can also use [https://justin163.com/planner/events Justin’s event planner], or the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YHGYkICvBMvRTEhUDu59YMMXbogH4ZRZoA4vJMXMLcg/ old event planner (excel)] for estimated rewards.

* Some specials have unique situations. For example: Shizuko needs a minimum HP of X to reflect both balls on Shirokuro. So you’d hit that threshold via mix of stars, levels, gear, and EX lvls.

 

* The [https://j163.au/#SkillLevelingGuide Bricc Skill Leveling guide].

* Focus your main aoe dps for story, then prep for raids. You can boost healers, but EX3 at most (if you even need that). Tanks don’t have much stats to scale with. You can ignore scaling skills for now.

====Raiding====

* You do not need 5★s until extreme/insane raids. Prioritize well if you want comfy enough clears in every raid (see the next section for examples).

* The eligma cost increases every 20 eleph bought, up to 5 cost. (This never resets back to 1 cost). [https://j163.au/#EligmaElephChart Eligma/Eleph chart].

* For the raid schedule, see the pins in your discord’s raid channel.

====Raid progression====

[[File:BorrowPower.jpeg|thumb|Example of how easily a good borrow can carry you through hardcore raids]]

* Wanpans are not even the fastest option sometimes. Depends on the boss, terrain, and available units.

* Raid process:

* You level UE by doing scrimmage and buying pins from the expert shop.

 

* Scrimmage is a mode to farm UE materials, tuned for higher level players with multiple 5★ dps. You can skip it until you’re at that point.

* Farm stage C or D if you need, don’t bother with lower levels if it costs AP. Most buy UE pins from the expert shop and only farm during 2x events.

* Scrimmage D: UE30 is required. UE40 isn’t, but it makes it comfier. Aru is even stronger with her T2 bond gear. I cleared it with UE50 Maki/Wakamo, UE40 Haruna/Shun/Iori/Aru, and UE30 Hina. 5777 skills and T766 gear.

 

[[File:Gear Icon 10000.png|thumb|150px|Aru’s treasured wallet (her bond gear)]]

* Bond gear is 4th slot gear unique to certain chars. Here’s the whole [[Unique_gear_list]]. You can also filter for “unique item” in [http://schale.gg Schale.gg].

* The T2 bond gear is a bit of a grind, but gift selectors & the crafting revamp helps with that.
