==== Is this student limited, permanent, a welfare? Who has bond gear? ====
- Go to <http://schale.gg>. Set to JP in settings. You can search students individually or see the entire group by using filters. <br>
- Label meanings: <br>
* “Unique” - The character is limited. They do not join the general pool once their banner leaves. You can only summon them when their banner returns. (Includes the expert shop. You cannot summon limiteds from here even with 120 of their eleph).
* “Welfare” The character is a free unit from an event. You can only get them when that event is available. JP is adding old reruns of previous events so you players who missed out can see the stories & collect the welfare ????
* Permanent students won’t have a label. They are in the general pool and you can pull them anytime. <br>
* If the student has bond gear, they have an “Item” tab. This tab shows the requirements needed to equip & craft up to T2. [https://schale.gg/?chara=Aru Aru example]. <br>
- For a whole search: <br>
Hamburger icon top right > Students > Student List > filter top left > unique (limited) / permanent / welfare (from an event) / unique item (bond gear).
 
=== Sparks, Pyro planner ===
 
==== What’s a spark? Why is it important? ====
- BA uses the spark system, which is trading 200 recruitment points (200 pulls, or 24k pyro) to pick a featured banner student. <br>
- There are only 2 guarantees; a 2* or better in every multi pull (10 pulls at a time), and the spark. __Recruitment points do not carry over__, they convert to small crafting shards when the banners rotate. <br>
- We highly recommended only pulling if you can spark, in case you end up with nothing. <br>
- The rates are 3% for a 3*, with 0.7% for the rate-up within that 3%. For full details, click the Rates Info button on any gacha page.
 
==== How can I plan my sparks? ====
> - Use the pyro planner (make a copy):
> https://j163.au/#PyroPlanner Pyro Planner]. Instructions are at the bottom. <br>
- Or estimate 12k pyro a month for F2P and use [https://j163.au/#MidokunisStudentInsights Midokuni’s banner summary] for dates. <br>
- The latest [https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueArchive/comments/128ec8m/tracking_blue_archive_gl_pyroxene_income_month_of/ Reddit monthly pyro report].
 
==== Can I pull my favorites instead? ====
- Absolutely. Club & friend borrows help supplement your roster, but spark Ako and Himari too for a comfier gaming life.
- Find good clubs & friends in discord recruitment & friend channels. You can filter for high lvl players in-game too and see who they’re lending via “i” button.
 
**I’m ready to play! Now what?**
> 1. Read Life’s guide to learn the basics:
> <https://j163.au/#LifesBeginnerGuide>
> 2. See Midokuni’s Teambuilding tab for team suggestions:
> <https://bit.ly/MidoTeamBuilding>
> 3. Boost Serina to 2✩ (Tsubaki to 3✩ if you want). __Save your eligma until extreme/insane raids.__ You do not need 5✩s until then.
> 4. Use Yuuka & Tsubaki or other evasion tanks early on (before T4 bags). Non-evasion tanks need their T4 bag to tank properly.
> - SHoshino is not a tank, she just *can tank* under the right circumstances. I wouldn’t use her until she can solo the frontline.

**I’m still struggling in general content…**
> - Don’t use auto team fill, auto fight, or auto skip battle (unless it’s safe). The AI is *really bad*.
> - Level up, gear up. Shotgun tanks will be really squishy before T4 bags. Gear priority guide:
> <https://imgur.com/a/ii6ENlb>
> - Balance your aoe between teams, check your EX totals aren’t too high. Double check your teams with Midokuni’s Teambuilding tab:
> <https://bit.ly/MidoTeamBuilding>
> - If you’re missing a lot of 2✩ essentials (especially Tsubaki, Mutsuki, Chise & Momoi who take a long time farm), consider doing a few more multi pulls.
> - Stages become difficult 15-20+ lvls below enemies due to the level penalty.
 
**What is the level penalty?**
> - The higher level unit gets a *damage reduction buff* against the attacker. Your units’ and the enemies’ stats do not change. It’s 2% damage reduction per level, capped at 60%. Basically, your student does less damage when they are below an enemy’s level, and vice versa.
> - The recommended level and your account level doesn’t matter. The latter just limits your characters’ max lvl.
> - Example:
> * Lvl 60 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. The boss takes 20% less damage from Iroha.
> * Both same level: no effect.
> * Lvl 80 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. Iroha takes 20% less damage from the boss.
> * Neither Iroha nor the boss’ stats change. Her stats given to strikers as a Special remains the same.
> - Enemies in story chapters 13-15, bounties, commissions, and some events are higher lvl than the recommended (check with <https://schale.gg/?stage=1131101>)
 
**Story gameplay tips?**
> - Focus fire elite enemies; they have a skull icon above their health bar.
> - Prep the last wave: pool energy and cycle through cheap EX skills to get your dps ready.
> - Nuke the boss immediately with 2+ dps EX skills. Place overlapping aoe so it hits enemies multiple times (e.g. 3 with Hibiki, 2+ with Mutsuki).
> - Tsubaki taunt when enemies do something dangerous (like Iori jumping back to EX, or the giant yellow robot charging up). This forces them to cancel and auto attack instead.
 
**How do I do this map/event challenge?**
> - For maps: JP Wikiru & SchaleDB:
> * <https://bluearchive.wikiru.jp/?21章>
> * <https://schale.gg/?stage=1152103> (maps tab)
> - YouTube is your best friend. There’s a video for every stage in the game. Watch a variety for team comp ideas and execution.
> - For event challenges, use broad search terms like “Blue Archive Sweets challenge 2”
