====Is Blue Archive F2P friendly?====

- Depends on your definition, but generally yes. You can farm a ton of great students to max. PvP is RNG, the reward differences are pretty small, and brackets are about a few hundred players. Raid rewards also don’t differ too much, and a max dps borrow will carry you through every hardcore raid. You can be as casual as you like.

- While F2P income is pretty good (1 spark every 2 months), you’d have to whale or be insanely lucky to collect all the gacha-only students. There’s about sixty in Global, more in JP, and that pool will just keep growing. On the bright side, most students are permanent ~~and may spook you someday~~, and they’re pretty good about rerunning limited and permanent banners.

====Will Global ever get another 3★ selector?====

- As of now, not yet. JP is ahead of us by 4-5 months, and we get the same products they do more or less. The closest thing was an RNG ticket where you’d choose an attack type (red/yellow/blue), and get a random permanent 3★ from that pool.

- The recommended level and your account level doesn’t matter. The latter just limits your characters’ max lvl.

- Level penalty examples:

*Level 20 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. The boss takes 60% less damage from Iroha (at the maximum lvl penalty).

*Level 30 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. The boss takes 60% less damage from Iroha (she’s at the maximum lvl penalty).

*Lvl 60 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. The boss takes 20% less damage from Iroha.

- Don’t farm BDs (Blu-ray discs) from normal mode unless you’re an end game player who doesn’t need gear, and you want to gamble. The drop rates are 1-4%. [https://schale.gg/?stage=1091102 Example].

====How do I level faster? Is it worth refreshing? How much free AP do you get?====

- You gain 1:1 account experience for AP spent. Your AP does not regen if you’re capped, so don’t let it for long periods of time.

- If you care about optimizing, refresh 3x daily as much as you can afford. The sooner you get higher & max lvl, the more benefits you gain over time.

- If you care about optimizing, refresh 3x daily as much as you can afford (even for F2P). The sooner you get higher & max lvl, the more benefits you gain over time.

- You can use pvp coins, but events usually offer rare items, so hoard enough for those. You need 210 pvp coins a day x 7 or 14 days to max refresh (but you also gain coins everyday).

====Should I level and gear special units?====

- Yes, if they’re a dps or healer (e.g. Hibiki, Iroha, Serina, Hanae, Ako). Give them their important gear. (3rd slot for dps specials is not as important as you won’t be crit malding in campaign, but you might in raids)~~. [https://j163.au/#GearPriorityGuide Gear Priority guide]~~.

====How do I raid? Why shouldn’t I spend eligma yet?====

- You do not need 5✩s until extreme/insane raids. Prioritize well if you want comfy enough clears in every raid (see the question below for examples).

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