== FAQs ==
 
=== Reroll help ===
 
==== How do I reroll? ====
- Play until the tutorial ends. Collect the mail and use all the free pulls you have. You want the essential 2*s for easier progression. <br>
- Reset the guest account by Settings -> Account -> Reset Account <br>
Line 9:
- You cannot unlink an account and still save it. You’ll have to “close account” and wait a week for it to delete. (This action is reversible). Once it’s wiped, then you can bind your guest account to it. <br>
 
==== How do I mass reroll? ====
- If you’re hardcore rerolling, do it on an emulator. Google how for your particular app. [https://www.bluestacks.com/features/rerolling.html/ Bluestacks example]. <br>
- Install and patch the game in one instance. Make 4 clones of it. Sync them, reroll 4 at a time. Save any potential good accounts. Add more clones to replace them.
 
==== How do I login to a linked account? ====
- The game should prompt you which account to use on the title screen. If you’re stuck in guest mode somehow:
Complete the tutorial on guest. Link the account to the email you want. It’ll say “this is already linked, do you want to login instead?” Say yes.
 
=== Festival banners, paid items ===
 
==== What are festival banners? When’s the next? ====
- They’re JP’s anniversary banners with double the 3✩ rate. Previous fest units can drop in it, but you can only spark the featured student. The next one is Mika’s. <br>
- Rates on Mika’s banner: <br>
- 6% total for a 3✩ <br>
- 0.7% for Mika <br>
- 0.3% for Wakamo <br>
Line 29:
- See [https://bit.ly/MidoStudentThoughts Midokuni’s “banner summary” tab] for estimated dates.
 
==== What’s worth buying for real money? ====
- Worth is subjective, but the cheapest decent things are: New teacher packs x3, both monthly subscriptions, and the AP packs during good events. The Serika package is alright, but she’s easy to farm.
 
==== Should I buy the Start Dash ticket? ====
- The pool of 8 is small and offers a lot of great units. It also gives a rate-up for dupes (100 elephs instead of 30). However, 3 students are farmable (and Koharu will join the raid shop in several months). <br>
- I probably wouldn’t buy it unless you’re already buying the 2 monthly subs and AP packs during good events. <br>
Line 39:
[https://j163.au/#StokkiesRaidRatings Stokkie’s Raid Ratings].
 
==== 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. <br>
- Always read the fine print before buying in case our ticket is different from JP’s.
 
=== Student Meta ===
 
==== How good is this unit? When will they come? ====
- [https://bit.ly/MidoStudentThoughts Midokuni’s guide]. Search the whole document as there are multiple tabs. <br>

==== So overall, who’s meta and worth sparking? ====
- Causew’s advice on [https://imgur.com/a/AadNkrZ TYuuka & sparking supports/dps]. <br>
- There are great dps students, but they need decently high investment to shine. See Midokuni’s guide for insane raid investments. <br>

=== 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<u>Recruitment points do not carry over__over</u>, 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] details every pyro income.
 
==== 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.
 
=== Beginner guides ===
 
==== I’m ready to play! Now what? ====
1. Read [https://j163.au/#LifesBeginnerGuide Life’s guide] to learn the basics. <br>
2. See [https://bit.ly/MidoTeamBuilding Midokuni’s Teambuilding tab] for student suggestions. <br>
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. <br>
4. Use Yuuka & Tsubaki or other evasion tanks early on (before T4 bags). Non-evasion tanks need their T4 bag to tank properly. <br>
- SHoshino is not a tank, she just *''can tank*'' under the right circumstances. I wouldn’t use her until she can solo the frontline, which is usually after her T4 bag. <br>
- [https://imgur.com/a/G6zsUE7 Basic team examples] per chapter.
 
 
==== I DONT WANT TO READ!! ====
- The
[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jmXbVHQB7Ys casual’s guide to BA] by Yumie Tsuchinoko.
 
==== 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*''. <br>
- Level up, gear up. Shotgun tanks will be really squishy before T4 bags. [https://imgur.com/a/ii6ENlb Gear priority guide]. <br>
- Balance your aoe between teams, check your EX totals aren’t too high. Double check your teams with [https://bit.ly/MidoTeamBuilding Midokuni’s Teambuilding tab]. <br>
Line 111 ⟶ 110:
- 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. <br>
- The recommended level and your account level doesn’t matter. The latter just limits your characters’ max lvl. <br>
- Example: <br>
* Lvl 60 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. The boss takes 20% less damage from Iroha.
* Both same level: no effect. <br>
* Lvl 80 Iroha vs lvl 70 boss. Iroha takes 20% less damage from the boss. <br>
* Neither Iroha nor the boss’ stats change. Her stats given to strikers as a Special remains the same. <br>
- 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]).
 
==== 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. <br>
Line 127 ⟶ 126:
- 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 JP Wikiru] and [https://schale.gg/?stage=1152103 Schale.gg] (maps tab). <br>
- YouTube is your best friend. There’s a video for every stage in the game. Watch a variety for team comp ideas and execution. <br>
- For event challenges, use broad search terms like “Blue Archive Sweets challenge 2”, “Blue Archive bunny challenge 5”.
 
=== Spending AP ===
 
==== Where should I spend AP? Who do I farm, when, and how much? ====
> - <[https://imgur.com/a/UQqzdid Where to spend AP.]>
> - Check <#897744941428658196> pins for an event guide and Justin’s event planner. They also list which events are worth pyro & pvp refreshing.
 
> - Midokuni’s guide (“farmable summary” tab):
> <- [https://bit.ly/MidoFarmSummary> Midokuni’s “Farmable Summary” tab]
 
> - Try to avoid commissions unless there’s a 2x or better event. Do it if you must for a raid clear. Commissions chart:
> <[https://imgur.com/a/Ilwad9g Commissions efficiency chart]>
> - 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%.
 
> - Gear priority guide:
> - [https://j163.au/#GearPriorityGuide Gear Priority Guide]
 
> You can also use Justin’s resource planner above (settings -> resource planner. Set up chars, click gear, click AP icon)
 
==== How do I level faster? Is it worth refreshing? How much AP do I get naturally? ====
- 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. <br>
- 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. <br>
- 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).
 
- [https://imgur.com/a/ySZIC3F Free AP you get per week & expert permit shop info]. <br>
- Max your cafe comfort when possible for more more free AP per hour. Cafe upgrades are in every third chapter (3-5, 6-5, 9-5, etc.)
 
==== How long will it take to reach max level? ====
- [https://imgur.com/a/EcMFxxL Estimates]. <br>
- [https://imgur.com/a/nj5OvZh Account exp chart]. <br>
Line 160 ⟶ 162:
- The max level at launch was 70, and the game has been out for over a year. They slowly increased it to 83, which is why it feels daunting to new players.
 
=== Skills, gear, raids, and investing in units ===
 
==== 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]. <br>
- If they aren’t a dps or healer, you can hold off for later. Prioritize your strikers and dps/healer specials.
Line 168 ⟶ 170:
- 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.
 
==== Who should I skill up? How? ====
- 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. <br>
- The [https://j163.au/#SkillLevelingGuide Bricc Skill Leveling guide]. <br>
Line 175 ⟶ 177:
- Schale.gg has a quick overview of who uses what. [https://schale.gg/?item=183 Example].
 
==== 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). <br>
- The eligma cost increases every 20 eleph bought, up to 5 cost. [https://j163.au/#EligmaElephChart Eligma/Eleph chart]. <br>
- Read [https://j163.au/#CausewsGeneralRaidGuide Causew’s General Raid guide]. <br>
- Double check your gear & skills are up to par: [https://j163.au/#GearPriorityGuide Gear priority guide] &and the [https://j163.au/#SkillLevelingGuide Bricc Skill Leveling guide:]. <br>
[https://j163.au/#GearPriorityGuide Gear priority guide] and the [https://j163.au/#SkillLevelingGuide Bricc Skill Leveling guide]. <br>
- Make team comps, check videos in that guide & the raid channel’s thread for an idea of unit investment & execution. <br>
- Get feedback from experienced raiders, mock it with a strong borrow from your club/friends before you use a real ticket. Boost with eligma as a last resort (preferably on unfarmable important dps). <br>
- For the raid schedule, see the pins in your discord’s raid channel.
 
==== What investment do I need for extreme/insane? Who’s good to boost with eligma? ====
- Extreme is tuned to level 70, 5✩ dps, no UE. Very generally, you want 5✩ dps (5777 skills, T6 gear), while 3✩ supports are fine, assuming they don’t need stats to do their job. <br>
- For insane, you start wanting lvl 80, UE40+ for dps (5777 with some skills max). Some supports can stay 3✩, but others may need more (e.g. healers in Hiero to one-shot the lantern or heal it in a timely fashion). <br>
- Higher investment is comfier, but since boosting is expensive, do it until the raid is *comfy enough & reproducible*. Then save for the next few raids. The raid schedule is kept in the raid channel’s pins. <br>
- Ask the raid channel for good enough char specific UE. Research, mock it, *''practice it*'', boost as needed. <br>
 
Some examples: <br>
This doesn’t mean blindly 5✩ all these units! <br>
* Shirokuro Indoors: SAzusa, SIzuna, and Wakamo are good targets (“unfarmable”, important dps). <br>
* Hod: Kazusa (meta dps, best borrowed). <br>
* Hiero urban: ONodoka, Koharu, SNonomi (meta dps). SHoshino can survive at 3✩s. <br>
* Kaiten: Most units are farmable, and you bring another tanky unit with SHoshino. <br>
* Peroro: BKarin, Iroha, Aris, NY Mutsuki for aoe. Wakamo, SAzusa for shiny hunting (insane). <br>
* Binah: Kazusa for urban. Most others are farmable. <br>
- For the whole farmables list, see [https://bit.ly/MidoStudentThoughts Midokuni’s “Farmable Summary” tab]. Avoid using eligma on them unless the breakpoint is huge, you need it for a raid clear *''now*'', and it’s cheap. <br>
- Competitive players can refresh the hard carries; [https://schale.gg/?item=10000 Aru], [https://schale.gg/?item=10014 Izuna], [https://schale.gg/?item=10004 Hina], [https://schale.gg/?item=10006 Iori] (sheIori has a 2nd stage now in ch. 20). Eleph drop rate is 40%.
 
==== What’s the basic raid progression like? ====
- If you’re inexperienced, use the safe strategies, not the maldy wanpan (one team) speed runs. All the previous tactics *still work*, you just have more options now (except rare bugs that’ve been fixed since). <br>
- Wanpans are not even the fastest option sometimes. Depends on the boss, terrain, and available units. <br>
Line 214 ⟶ 215:
- For example: 2 team Kaiten had an aoe team for phase 1, and a single target & shield breaking team for phase 2. *If you’re strong enough*, you can brute force it and crit mald with one team. If you’re not, do it the old, safe way. See [https://j163.au/#CausewsGeneralRaidGuide Causew’s General Raid guide] for more info.
 
==== Why are clubs & friends important? ====
- You can borrow units for raids, JE and conquest. Even at end game, they save you from sparking & maxing 1 unit per raid/JE. Sometimes it’s ideal to use two of that character per ticket. <br>
- A club also gives 10 AP a day which adds up. <br>
Line 221 ⟶ 222:
- Make sure you set 6 units for borrowing. You earn for 172.8k credits per day with zero borrows. Do it through the club or settings -> friends -> assistant settings.
 
==== How do I find which server I’m on? ====
- In-game homepage -> Settings -> Account -> Version Info
 
=== UE, scrimmage, bond gear, affection ===
 
==== What’s UE? How do I level it? ====
- UE is short for [[Unique_weapons]]. It’s a special weapon 5✩ units can equip. The # stands for the weapon level (e.g. UE40 = lvl 40 weapon). <br>
- Save your eligma. You don’t need 5✩s until extreme/insane raids. <br>
- You level UE by doing scrimmage and buying pins from the expert shop.
 
==== What’s scrimmage? Should I farm everyday? ====
- It’s 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. <br>
- 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.
 
==== How do I do scrimmage A-C? ====
- The same strategies work for all scrimmage levels. See the videos below for execution (and unit investment for stage C). <br>
- [http://bit.ly/3IQoCqy Rainstorm’s] explains the mechanics. <br>
Line 245 ⟶ 246:
[https://youtu.be/r1tCIxLV2uQ Ghenna], and [https://youtu.be/v1SpZExfS3w Millenium].
 
==== How do I do Scrimmage D? ====
- See [http://bit.ly/3IQoCqy Rainstorm’s video] for a refresher on strategy. <br>
- [https://imgur.com/a/IQGNkfd ForScrimmage D suggestions] for all 3] stages. <br>
- UE30 is required. UE40 isn’t, but it makes it comfier. Aru is even stronger with her T2 bond gear. <br>
- I cleared it with UE50 Maki/Wakamo, UE40 Haruna/Shun/Iori/Aru, and UE30 Hina. 5777 skills and T766 gear.
 
==== What’s bond gear and when’s it coming? ====
- Its 4th slot gear unique to certain chars. Here’s the whole [[Unique_gear_list]]. <br>
- Go to the item tab to see the requirements, and what it gives: [https://schale.gg/?chara=Aru Aru example]. You can filter for “unique item” in [https://schale.gg Schale.gg]. <br>
Line 259 ⟶ 260:
- 3rd batch on Mika: Neru, Shiroko, Junko, Suzumi
 
==== Which bond gear should I prioritize first? ====
- Aru for raids, Yuuka for pvp, Utaha for pvp. Hinata if you use her. Whoever you like really, just equipping it is basically free and a char buff. You might as well do them all eventually. <br>
- The T2 bond gear is a bit of a grind, but gift selectors & the crafting revamp helps with that. <br>
- 3rd batch strength is unknown atm.
 
==== How do I level affection? How much pyro do you get from Momo talks? ====
- [http://bit.ly/3kHbGeB Wiki on affection]. <br>

=== Shops, crafting, lessons ===
 
==== What should I buy from shops? ====
- [https://j163.au/#LifesBeginnerGuide Life’s Tirade]. <br>
- [https://j163.au/#LochersBeginnerTips Locher’s General Wisdom & Advice]. <br>
Line 281 ⟶ 282:
- You cannot summon units from the expert shop! Do not buy their elephs unless you have them, or plan on sparking them. Exceptions: Fest units like Wakamo and SHoshino. If you’re a max lvl player, you’ll have lots of leftover permits, so you might as well buy them (low priority). Newer players can’t afford it.
 
==== What should I craft? ====
- [https://imgur.com/a/1bzF6J7 Crafting priorities]. <br>
- Don’t go past the first node (big circle) if you’re unsure what’s safe to fodder. The 3rd node is very expensive, and generally only gifts there are worth it. <br>
Line 288 ⟶ 289:
- You can skip a bunch of crafting animations by clicking the screen.
 
==== How should I level lessons? ====
- Overview: [[schedule]] <br>
- It’s up to you, but leveling the schools more evenly gets you the 7 max tickets faster. Click the ticket button on the lessons homepage to see the requirements. <br>
Line 295 ⟶ 296:
- To see lesson drop rates, use the [https://bit.ly/3kPcyOe Drop Rates doc “schedule tab”].
 
=== JE (Joint Firing Drill) ===
- [http://bit.ly/3KW5Lga JE is a mode] somewhat similar to raid, but you need 3 teams. <br>
- The type of exercise and enemies’ armor color will heavily influence your team comps. Go to your respective #joint-firing-drill discord channel for help. <br>
- Borrows will help immensely here, sometimes even letting you cheese stage 4.
 
=== How do I PvP? What’s the best team? ===

Line 308 ⟶ 309:
- Hop in the discord PvP channels for more guides, strategies & meta discussions.
 
=== Do these buffs/debuffs stack? ===
- [http://bit.ly/3YogNhx Ahri’s buff stacking guide]. <br>
- [https://imgur.com/a/OJUXuik How to test buff/debuff stacking in schale.gg]. <br>
- If 2 specials have the same sub skill, the one on the right is used, even if their skill is worse. <br>
 
[https://schale.gg/?chara=Akane_Bunny BAkane] and another attack sub skill:
* If BAkane is on the left slot, all students will receive a buff equal to the regular attack sub. <br>
* If BAkane is on the right slot. All the non-mystic students will receive the regular attack sub, and all the mystic students will get BAkanes specialised sub. <br>
* So no, theyThey do not stack. The buff of the right slot overwrites the buff of the left one. <br>
