WHAT ARE YOUR BLUEFES PREDICTIONS /BAG/

Never Goon

I love fucking Justice

>>531143206
Double Fes alts

Predictions?

>>531143121 (OP)
imagine liking a fucking commie

Yah!

>>531143291
We've been telling you for months and you didn't believe

What else there is to predict? We are 100% getting Tea Sharty summer based on the last ep of their short

>event is about Rio
>Rio appears for like 5 minutes in total
>Sensei doesn't even meet Rio
>Sensei doesn't want to talk with Rio

what's the fucking point?

>>531143386
Pepperoni and pineapple is my favorite.

>>531143206

>>531143386
How dare you.

>>531143545
To be continued in her momotalks

>>531143282

cant speak the same for >aoi manabu. nothing wrong with him, it's just that his sex scenes feel way too short

Uhh, fellas? Where did Seia and Asuna go? Who do I spark?

>>531143545
>Sensei doesn't even meet Rio
>Sensei doesn't want to talk with Rio
If you fail to understand why you're a young and retarded.

>>531143217

>>531143545

it would be nuts if shupos got summer alt first

bingo doko?

>>531143694
who do you like more?

it's her turn

>>531143694
Seia
Asuna is good but I don’t think mandatory for anything

My beloved unko rose.

Have any of the BA artists made porn doujinshi before?
Nexon could have hired some famous artists for some characters

>>531143386
Nozomi won't actually do this

>>531143694
This is what you get for having hope
Now, CHOOSE

>>531143291
The Tea Party seethe when ninja summer gets revealed will be legendary

nasty breeding sex with hasumi expect I'm in shota form

Are you all ready for Sexy Mitchy Overload?

>>531143880

>>531143882
lmao
doremi has a Stheno doujin which got uploaded some time ago. kokosando is kylin. mx2j had a bunch of porn manhwa. seicoh also has some stuff on sadpanda.
Then there's nigiri usagi

>>531143545
>People convince me to play BA by saying that the story is well written.
At least there aren't so many plot holes

>>531144065
Ack! But it's too early for bing bong.

>>531144118
>>531143545
the event is literally not over

also, Decagrammaton

...Also it's about Seia.

>>531143545
>event is about Rio
lol

I managed to get Seia and Asuna in 140 rolls, should I go for the spark or save some pyros? I have around 75k on top of a few tickets.

What restored the hype?

>>531144274
no

This dude is carrying all of the Umikafags HARD

>>531144274
Save up.

>>531143815
>>531143879
>>531143917
Well, I was rolling on her banner so I have chosen Seia!

>>531144072
They don't have a lot

>>531144186
stop responding to trolls

It may not seem like it but this is a Hasumi general.

We could've gotten more Kazusa

love 'asumi

>>531144278
None cause it will never be the same as Rio/Neru fes fiasco.

I feel summer Iroha and Ibuki approaching

>>531144841
>Rio/Neru fes fiasco
qrd?

>finished V3 C2
You guys were right, it was kino (when I don't try to think too much about the worldbuilding) they actually managed to make me like all the major characters except that cunt Nagisa

>>531145062
fuck off with your continuous trolling. you not understanding the terms and the backlore doesn't make it bad. read and raise your iq a little

>>531145050

Ears don't work like that

Never goon

Is Karin uniform good?

friendly reminder that not once did anyone in the game refer to the animal ears as "ears" but there have been a mention of a student calling it her "hair"

Few days until Japanese Bluefest stream
The most hype time of the year

Summer Nagisa in a white string bikini with armpit focused L2D will convert the last of the Nagisa haters.

>>531145448
>armpit focused
you lost me there

>>531145448
nagisa haters don't exist. those are called tourists

>>531145448
Only way she would convert me is to cosplay as an Astra Militarum Commisar

>>531145440
>

>>531145448
Have they done the lost swimsuit floating away thing yet?
Nagisa would be perfect to join sensei in having her reputation permanently marred. Even more i mean

I heard this was the Michiru general?

>>531145448
>no ass focused
I sleep

Start reading your saved up momotalks now, low impulsefags

You gotta get that stock back up

Restore the weekly shorts balance, make it happen.

does jp have their anniversary banner at the same time as us

I just left the random club I was in
In 24 hours, I can join a /bag/-approved club
I was in a club called Cute and Funny, but it wasn't on the /bag/ list, so it was probably the types of people that were commenting on Steam forums

Where'd all the vanitas posters go?

>>531145959

>>531145847
I'm still at 40k pyros

>>531145952
are you sure? I'm pretty sure there are 2 NA clubs named like that

>>531145847

>>531143763
I think bingoanon is working on it
>>531142810
Akira banner, I don't expect Kei and mecha Alice until anniv 5

>bombs a restaurant because she doesn't like the food and service
>gets away with it

>>531146442
She does that to every restaurant she comes across, or at least a majority of them.

can someone show the math for my chance of getting wakamo or dhina in 400 rolls

Summer Nagisa in a white string bikini with a L2D focused on her big thick ass will convert the last of the Nagisa haters.

So I tried Fury of Set...

>>531146570
good job

You really are a newcutie.

>>531143206

-Michiru ASMR
-mission area 29 unlocked (T10 watches, badges, necklaces)
-unique items for Haruna, Natsu, Iroha, and Megu

>>531145303
She is what she is: a dedicated Geburah cleanup unit

>>531147304
newfags should do story

game is too peak. I like almost every student

It's Monday, go to work.

>>531147520
What's wrong with the list? He literally has one week.

>>531147270
I just really like Ako's tits.

She's cute.

>>531146238
Yes, the leader of the club I left is not the leader of the 2 listed

>>531143206
Suzumi alt

Are any of these students meta or mandatory?

Any tips for 3-3 story? Im 41 lvl

>>531147304
if you want pyros, your #1 priority should prolly be missions and especially story, momos are the cope

though if i wanted to maximize gain, i'd probably go for unlocking more events on singular students rather than everyone, refer to the wiki to figure out which students have the most stories, those ones give more pyros

>>531147947
nyo

>>531147837
It's still sunday on the west coast. That means more time to read the event story.

Offer all your material wealth to Cherino.

So let me get this straight, the daily routine for this game is to touch menus for a few minutes, sweep, and that's it?
isn't that kind of barebones

>>531147947
>DSaori
I'm not actually sure whether you can complete Tiphareth without DSaori...? Of course, she or Nozomi would be your borrow for it. I would say, if DSaori isn't necessary for Tiphareth, then most like she is "very very VERY useful and makes it a lot easier"

Welcome to gachas.

>>531146570
Set is basically immune to EX attacks so battle comes down to auto attack students or students with speed up abilities
Second thing to remember is you need healer students to heal the pillars every time Set charges the pillars with lightning, to remove the lightning buff
90% of teams probably have some combination of these characters

>>531148767
You really would rather spend time actively doing the same thing you've done before for hours?

The core content is the biweekly stuff: raids, event challenges, or other challenge modes.

>>531148893
Some don't even have sweeping

Guys...What "Blue Archive" even means?

>>531148893
this is not the norm for gacha at all
Most don't have sweeping. IIRC princess connect put the idea forward first. Most demand that you replay shit you've already finished.

>>531148960
Now that's dreadful

>>531148767
I've been playing daily for 4 years now and I appreciate how minimally intrusive this game is to my daily life. At its best, gacha gameplay is still mediocre compared to real games so I can't imagine exposing myself too much to tedious mediocrity for 4 years.

>>531148909
the reduced EX atk I knew about, hence the swimRoogi, I just love Asuna and base is blue so I brought both, and then just scooped up every blue Striker I have.

Base Ako is for when Roogi does EX. Wanna hear a funny? My Ako came home the next roll after I claimed the free Hina.

Guys, i might have a problem. I saw in the shop "1$ for 600 pyros", and i saw that you can buy it only 3 times, i tried to buy it, it was very laggy and slow, but in the end i bought all 3, then game started being VERY laggy, started giving me errors and asking me to reboot it (i did and it did nothing to fix it), i checked my mail and mail says i bought it 4 times. So, i bought 4 times the thing that you can buy 3 times only. And now game spams me "we cant deliver your purchase please reboot game" error. What can i possibly do?

>>531149614
contact support

But honestly who can even bring hype? Mika? Seia? Rio?

I fapped to Nonomi today

>>531149614
If you didn't do anything wrong, send screenshots and all relevant information including device data to Nexon support

>>531149614
No refunds

Like, cmon

>>531149651
BA support? (not steam?)

Is there something i should expect from BA support? Like, i surely didn't put my real name when was creating account. Will that be an issue?

>>531149812
I dont mind losing 1$. But game's unplayable now because of that.

>>531149679
What, with swimsuits?

Michiru/Shupogaki.
Michiru because it's silly and out of nowhere, and Shupogaki 'cause it's them.
I don't think Mika/Tea party would actually ADD anything because people are already invested in them, if that makes sense.

It's kinda like with Hanako and Kanna, both of whom weren't very much in fanart prior to getting their summer alts.

>>531149854
Actual BA support, if you can't get to it through the game itself there's a page somewhere on Nexon's website for BA specifically I believe

>>531149679
Hina

>>531149679
4th hoshino alt

>>531149854

>>531148767
It's funny seeing people thinking less than 5 minutes daily is a bad thing. Long dailies are the biggest contributor to burn out for me.
The first 2-4 weeks of gachas are honeymoon phase where you have so many content to get you hooked, then either you get walled or reach endgame, then all you do is brainless daily, with occasional effort needed for weekly, the only time you get actual gameplay is when new update drop, then you finish it in 1 day/week and back to daily.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF BIG DADDY NEXON!
Just once, just fucking once, I would like to play Blue Archive without getting my ass fucked by Big Daddy Nexon.
But I guess I am not allowed. May as well get used to it. Hell, may as well willingly take a Nexon assfucking rather than try to fight it. I've already spent the past decade being fucked in various Nexon games.
So that's why I invested in this exciting new product called "SUPER SPREADER"!
Mechanical claws powered by a quiet servo grab each side of your cheeks and gently pull them apart to expose your most tender and private orifice.
Ensures an accurate entry every time!
Reduces pain!
Reduces bruising!
"SUPER SPREADER" is designed exclusively for gacha players. It combines the best of Fagex and Mihomo technology to ensure your butt cheeks are fully spread apart, enabling you to take a NEXON MONSTER WHOPPER at any time and place with the minimum of fuss and bother!

I'm not gonna play your gacha instead bro

i like seia

stream when?

seia spooked me 3 times, i sparked her and used 60 elephs to get her to ue40. where do i use her? is she better than ui?

>>531150606

>>531150513

but I'll stay strong and not throw rolls away. i wanna spark on blufes and try to snag train twins later and even with newfag pyros i have to make it count

> Give sexo swimsuit
> Hype and Erection through the roofs.
It's just that simple. What, you people thought /bag/ was suddenly hyped for S.Hanako or something.
And let's be frank here, nobody would be hyped for S.Michiru, unless they can make a trash panda sexo somehow.

You have too much free time

This is your bluefes student. How does it make you feel?

>>531151508
the topic was about JP 4.5 bluefes. there's not dropping a deca update before that. I swear none of you can follow a conversation

>>531151461
NTA it wouldn't be impossible, but would be extremely unlikely. We've had a few instances of "got the girl earlier than she actually appears".

I think that Aris is extremely unlikely to be FES because there's like 6 or 7 or someshit potential units from that PV and I'm pretty sure a kind of "volume F-esque" timed event was datamined a while back, so it seems to me like this'll be some time in the latter half of the year, but not now

Rio's prettty notable given we STILL haven't gotten to wherever the point is where she's comfortable to invite Sensei over. In the Main Story, she only (very, VERY reluctantly) shows up at something like the halfway point of the Decagrammaton story--which global doesn't have yet (and JP didn't have either)

>>531150987

there's none. the banner is going to go away in 14 hours and your 180 recruitment points will get converted into 180 shards. 180 shards can be used to craft 18 times.

Huh? She already showed up in the deca story in global. She's there up until the entire chokmah fight and everything.

Guys the bluefes student is Mirai trust me

>>531152053
I want to but I also don't want to skip momos for the pyros again

>>531152204
I'm not sure how that would change anything. I definitely haven't read the momotalks yet, but if it goes "actually this happened before Deca" then that contradicts both Deca and the current event (current event: Sensei won't meet Rio, Deca: Sensei has to specifically request that Rio actually show up)
>>531152265
No, ACTUALLY show up, in the flesh.

It's her time.

>>531152431
Making things up because you didn't read her momos yet

Aside from 1.5, most half anniversary has always been rather controversial.
I suspect this year will be no different.

>>531152147
I don't get it
Buru akaibu?
aoi bushokan?

>>531152527
>Making things up because you didn't read her momos yet
I'm not making that up??? If you can prove me wrong just do it??

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you skip where he asks Rio and then has a huge heart to heart with Arona and Plana?

>>531152060
>>531152431
I don't see how that would matter for a banner release for an event that doesn't even have sensei physically meet Rio to begin with.
That's different for flying Aris where we still don't know how she goes from normal -> mech. Deca JP story never got that far. At least with Rio we've known she's been (visually) confirmed since Volume 2 Chapter 2 years beforehand

It's her time.

need yuuka wife asap

Just finished volume F

I didn't really cry. I mean, I got a little teary eyed during the Shiroko flashback, but it didn't go for long enough to do it for me, and it left me with a lot of questions, like what happened before the Chroma appeared and Shiroko killed everyone? How did the task force and sensei end up in that situation? I think I expected a bit more after looking at the "bad end" images from the PV, but they just flashed quickly without any elaboration.

I feel like I continue being critical, but it's not because I didn't like it, far from it, I loved it. I am glad I experienced everything in order. I just think there was potential for something greater, and they missed the mark a bit. I could stop playing right now and be satisfied knowing the main story is in some sort of limbo right now, but I love the characters too much to do it, I'm here for the long run.

I love the other Shiroko, and from the moment the limited evacuation teleports were introduced I knew exactly what was gonna happen, I even tried doing it in the battle before the game forced me to. I hope she appears again and I don't have to roll her to see more of her, she doesn't need to become Arius 2.0 being isolated from everyone else. She'll be in v1c3 if I had to guess, but she better be a permanent member of that club or I'm gonna shoot someone.

The only thing closer would be inside

>>531153032
I spent on the spark and will probably regret it or open wallet.

The sort of people who demand to be given all the details but simultaneously ignore the ones they were actually given always give me the impression that they would have an aneurysm if they ever read lovecraft

>>531152930
Those images were other timelines and yes, she does appear later on

>>531152930
>It misses the mark because it didn't explain absolutely everything in an obvious way as much as I wanted
maybe keep reading, and remember that their timeline is further along than the current timeline.
Main story is hardly in limbo, volume 5 Ch2 came out like two or three weeks ago

>>531151294
You should get a positive response from Nexon/BA support; I've had a recurring issue where my GPU hard-crashes when completing in-game purchases, so you're probably not the only one to have this happen.

>>531153032
if you like her then just spark her

>>531152930
Glad you liked. When I read volume F I got the feeling it told a good story but it also left too many lingering threads open. Some obviously meant to be followed up on shortly, but some are still unanswered to this day which is a bit painful knowing how gacha stories tend to take years and years and years.

>>531152930
Blue Archive uses Kingdom Hearts style writing. That doesn't mean "convoluted bullshit", although of course that defines the series I'm mentioning, it means is dreiven by emotion, and care little for the details. That isn't to say nothing makes sense, it is to say "I don't need to know, all I need to do is feel". Sensei does this a lot. With Saori, he instantly helps her once she starts crying in front of him. Much later, he will do something similar with arguably an even more reprehensible and gross little child and will explain "When I see a child suffering, it's human instinct to rush to protect them". For Shiroko, all that really matters is the end result, not the details. You can somewhat figure out some of this stuff by looking at events that happen to us. Serika gets kidnapped in our story, and you will come to find in a later story that Sensei gets exploded (but because he has two A.R.O.N.A.s, he survives). Nonomi runs into trouble as well, it's explained what happened to Hoshino roughly. Actually the only unknown is Ayane at this point, but basically "Sensei was sent into a coma, and without his guidance things went very badly"

Rio Bond episode 1
>Rio: Sensei, are you present?
>Sensei: Rio!?
>Rio:Yes, it’s me. On another note, aren’t you a little surprised?
>Sensei: Certainly didn’t expect to hear from you.
>Rio: I should inform you in advance that I am using a secondary device for communication, so there’s no need to trouble yourself with registering contact details.
>Sensei: Is your situation that serious?
>R: Potentially. We could be tracked by others.
>S: It’ll be trouble for communication companies too y’know…
>R: ….I didn’t see it that way. But I still think this is for the best.
>S: so what happened?
>R: I went to the supermarket to buy lunch, but it’s temporarily closed… could you come over for a bit?
>I went to the designated meeting point Rio sent.
>Even if it was for safety reasons, the detour was quite long.
>R: Did I keep you waiting?
>R: Nevermind, we arrived as predicted. As expected from choosing a logical route.
>S: just a question…
>R: Have I been eating normal meals? I’ve been economically logical and only bought discounted bentos and frozen meals.
>R:They’re half price at the supermarket, and the taste is excellent.
>R:In particular, the fired chicken bento and the fried chicken don bowls are especially scrumptious.
>R: But today’s a holiday… there’s usually high competition for such meals, but it’s inevitable given their high quality. Plus, frozen foods have long shelf lives and can be stored in large quantities.
>R: As expected, a most logical choice of food.
>S: You’ll ruin your health if you eat that way…/You could get more nutrition from delivery foods…

>>531153258
>timelines

what if her name was "leo" this entire time

>>531153220
Do you ever get tired of making up strawmen arguments to defeat in your head

>>531153451
>R: Delivery is out of the question. It’s illogical to risk the delivery person remembering your face or your location being tracked.
>R: While you do get free gifts and discounts if you give a review… such reviews can be logged and increases risk of detection.
>R: So I ruled it out from the beginning
>R: I calculate that I’ll never find myself in a dilemma like this. It truly is a rational solution.
>S: A hospital visit seems urgent…
>R: Bentos and frozen meals tend to be high in fat and fried…
>R: I know I need to take vitamins and fibre, but the former can be compensated with supplements. The latter… is not a problem at all.(confident smile)
>S: There’s a big problem.
>R: A lack of fibre is not as severe as a lack of vitamins, which can already be provided with by supplements.
>R: But the truth is… cooking is not my specialty.
>R: Perhaps inventing an Avant-Garde robot with cooking capabilities is a viable solution?
>R: It would be…
>S: Be…
>R: Quite difficult.
>S: It’s alright! We’ll go to the supermarket together
>R: That’s an illogical decision. The supermarket only has small discounts today.
>S: I’ll be serving you today, so don’t worry.
>I held Rio’s hand and walked to the supermarket.
>R: Sensei, what vegetable is that? It has a fractal structure(A fractal is a shape with never ending patterns in it.) I wonder if it’s Hausdorff dimension(a mathematical measure of roughness) is 2.7?
>R: A cauliflower you say? Such a strange shape… it even tastes like potato when boiled.
>R: Carrots, onions and tomatoes… even I can recognise those vegetables- wait, aren’t you buying too much meat?
>I’m actually not an expert on cooking, so I’m using the internet to help.
>I’ve bought all the ingredients for dinner.
>R: I see, so the dish is focused on protein and vitamins, which lowers carbohydrate levels.
>R: So, what next?

>>531153032
ultimately, all that matters is what you want to keep your interest

I'd go for the spark. Rio, UNeru, and SHanako aren't even going to help you that much for a year anyway because you're new.

>>531153548
>S: I cook you some food in Schale.
>R: I never calculated that you’d be a good cook… ah, you copy recipes on the internet? Better than cooking with no guidance at all, certainly.
>R: But is such a simple method really ok?
>S: I’ll worry my students if I don’t eat properly myself…
>After another detour back to Schale…
>S: Rio. You rest here, I’ll make it.
>R: V-very well.
>R: Stew… I wonder if even I could make it?
>R: Thank you, I’ll eat it right away.
>Eat the stew in silence
>R: It’s somewhat…
>S: Somewhat…
>R: It’s not bad, but neither is it uniquely tasteful either.
>S: As expected….
>R: But I wonder why… my heart feels much warmer from it.
>Momotalk
>R: Are you still awake?
>S: What happened?
>R: I completed the avant garde cooking machine.
>S: Does it work?
>R: Perfectly, but unlike your cooking… it’s taste has nothing unique to it.
>S: I can cook the stew again, so make sure you eat properly until then.
>R: Thank you. One bento every two days perhaps?
>S: Three days or more would be preferable.
>R: Alright.

>>531153451
>>531153548
so basically it's unclear when it takes place, but could be roughly before Decagrammaton to explain why she gets convinved to actually leave her cave

since presumably, she won't be in hiding after decagrammaton

>>531152851
Where in volume 3 is this part? I want to take a look at

>>531153360
Lets hope. So far no news.

>>531153156
That's the thing, I know I'll regret it. I don't feel strongly about the Bluefes girls because I barely know two of them and don't have a clue who Rio is (because I can't even get past Vol.3's bossfight). But I also know schoolgirl Asuna is kinda meh gameplay-wise, and I played enough gacha games to understand how cancer endgame can be if you didn't metafag at least at some point. So as a newfag, I know I gotta just ignore Asuna, but that's fucking difficult, man.
>>531153553

>S: Rio!

>S: I’ll help in anyway you ask me to.

>S: Package?
>Delivery guy: Here’s the last box, whole bloody lot of them.
>There was even more luggage from Rio than I imagined.
>DG: Heh, You opening a workshop or something? Oh, leave your stamp here!
>As Rio told me, I waited until night.
>R: Good evening, Sensei.
>S: What’s the problem?
>R: On the way, I was pondering some things.
>R: I feel like I need to apologise.
>S: Not sure what happened, but wow!
>R: “Wow!”’s a bit of an exaggeration.
>R: Also, on the way here, I hacked into nearby security cameras and traffic lights to cover my tracks.
>R: Any traces of me should be hidden perfectly.
>S: ….I am glad you’re growing up, even if its bit by bit.
>R: what’s with that hesitant look?
>R: Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for last time. I improved Avantgarde’s cooking function and upgraded the hideout’s computer.
>R: I needed some tools to analyse some chemical reagents.
>R: So I ordered a high performance vapor chamber and an IC suppressor
>R: The ionic solution that is the subject in a recent research project is…
>Rio’s difficult explanation carried on after that.
>She looked like she was having fun. I could be mistaken though.
>R: …and I wanted to do a large-scale parts replacement, but I can’t just have them be delivered to my hideout, could I? It would have too many risks after all.
>S: So all these boxes you sent to Schale are…
>R: Correct. Sorry for the trouble…
>S: So you have a hideout?
>R: Naturally. Several at that.
>R: They’re all in the most optimal spots within the locations under my power. I’m always ready to relocate using AMAS when needed.
>S: Sounds like a hassle.

>R: It looks inefficient?
>R: You’d be correct. Eimi mentioned that once too.
>R: I’m a person who trades efficiency for logic.
>R: Eimi is the opposite, sacrificing logic for efficiency.
>R: I hadn’t thought of the two concepts as contradictory until now. I had always figured that they were synonymous with one another.
>R: But I was wrong.
>R: We can’t always be logical. The nature of most incidents are of that between people. I figured if trust was impossible, then control was needed… but that was wrong too.
>R: People are irreplaceable existences.
>R: If a part wears down, you can replace it. If the code is broken, just fix it.
>R: Machines are easily repairable in that aspect.
>R: But humans are different, unique. There is a limit to how much flesh and blood can heal itself.
>R: Even if 330 billion cells are replaced every day, with all of them replaced in a month to year by new ones…

>R: I think this concept can also be applied to machines.
>R: If a machines’ parts have all been replaced but its functionality remains the same, its the same machine.
>R: But again, this can’t be applied to humans.
>R: Even if in the future we could fully analyse the nervous system, brain and make artificial organs from them…
>R: Well, I hardly have any wish to calculate such a thought experiment, it’s simply not possible right now.
>R: A thought experiment is the natural result of analysing the relationships between necessary variables.
>R: I think there are two types of thought experiments.
>R: One creates extremely accurate predictions via elaborate trial and error…
>R: or one that can only be experimented via imagination.
>R: The replaceability of humans falls into the latter.
>R: So there’s no need to consider it.

Takes place right after Millenium Expo, when you roll her. Everything in this game happens more or less chronologically. Sensei said at the end of Expo he would wait until Rio was ready to reach out to him, and she did. They've been meeting up in secret for awhile, despite her hyper paranoia.

I'll give it to you straight, man

You are not going to be batting with end-game stuff for quite a while regardless. Every 6 months FES units appear again so you can theoretically get them there again. Also, at least one is usually rerun alongside new FES students.

Furthermore, most of this game is very doable with 1 and 2 star students. Like, very VERY doable. Them, or students you can "farm" for free.
>Red
Mutsuki
>Yellow
Iori (farmable, will take a while)
>Blue
Chise/Haruna until you can get an actual good blue. Chise is always at least a bit good though.
>Purple
use yellow or blue students instead. Nonomi and Momoi will save you for most of these stages.

When you hit max level you can start trying to worry about getting plat, if you really want to, but it's not the fuckin' end of the world if you can't plat Total Assaults. Total Assaults give 1200 pyrox for platinum, 1000 for gold, and so on, however all other content in the game is not really or literally not at all competitive, so you can coast and just get rewards. Grand Assault, for example, always gives a 10 pull as long as you participate. Platinum etc gives specific trophies.

The game is extremely manageable without meta students outside of ONE game-mode: "restriction release" or whatever. The one with "Set" out right now. This is specifically for very invested players with several 3 stars and meta girls. Without them, you might be able to make some progress but not a lot. That said, it doesn't even fucking matter. There are no rolls gained for doing this mode, only a unique resource for slightly buffing 5* students.

tl;dr

Follow your fucking heart man, and have fun with the game

Those expire tomorrow.
Unless if by "100 free rolls" you meant the 100 rolls from your own pocket that you haven't yet spent. Not the actual free 100 rolls (which again, expire tomorrow)

>>531154917
Have you not been paying attention? Time travel and parallel worlds are implied at the start of the game

>>531154016
I'm glad I'm not alone in this.
People hype too much about “the best gacha story” “I've never seen a better story"
It's a shonen chunni type of story, nothing very unique in itself

>>531154964
>it refuses to make the protagonist lose.
He loses plenty of times

I will never subscribe

>>531155086
Only time travel at best retard.

>>531154751
Nice Hasumi get

Really is shitpost hour now

>>531155275
Retard no one thought, "ah, Shiroko terror shot parallel world sensei". Everyone thought that you, the player, got shot.

I see there are still those today that reject Hifumi's message.

She fucking shot me

>>531154398
I don't believe you. Mutsuki would 100% laugh at me. I mean, just look at her

>>531155396
Everyone with critical thinking skills thought Shiroko Terror is from a parallel world and a future, because you immediately meet normal Shiroko. How stupid are you?

>>531155275
yeah that's dimension hopping, anon, not time travel

>>531155394
fuark..

Would you marry a commie?

You all just fap to these characters in the end

>>531155235
Arona would never lie

>>531155440
Its literally the core message of the game
A feel good story where things should work out in the end, in a sea of edgeshit and depression bullshit. This game made it clear that the happy ending was always going to be the priority. I do think they wavered on that a bit in volume1 ch3, but overall the message of the game should be that everything should work out in the end. It doesn't matter if its a deus ex, it doesn't matter if its called cliche or contrived, Hifumi said its always better if its a happy ending. The core theme of the game is a story of youth and hope.
Other games kill characters every chapter; Blue Archive from the start is committed towards creating a good ending and saving everyone.

>>531155449
you're to blame

>>531153447
> Much later, he will do something similar with arguably an even more reprehensible and gross little child and will explain "When I see a child suffering, it's human instinct to rush to protect them"
He is wrong though?

>>531155396
did you note that shiroko terror as you first see her already killed hoshino terror in her own world?

When do I use purple units? I got Midori Maid and she's great but I just don't deploy her ever. Tried putting her in my pvp teams for variety but I lose anyways

>>531155440
Wtf you mean "message"? That's just her opinion, bruh.

>>531153335
I'll keep reading of course, I'm just disappointed the sad backstory ended so quickly. I didn't WANT to see the suffering, but they started it and pulled the plug almost immediately.
I saw people complaining about not having main story for a while, looks like they were exaggerating.

>>531153258
>>531153406
>>531153447
Yeah, considering Shiroko's older maybe there will be some future events that I can connect to it, because relate those events in the flashback with sensei gettting shot by Saori or Hoshino giving herself away doesn't make much sense. Even if it's never explained, it doesn't matter too much.
Again, I'm sounding like a downer, but I did really love it, it was just a bit lacking in the emotional department. Some things from v3 were a bit more impactful for me.

I have avoided watching any PVs, but there are things that are impossible to avoid. I am looking forward to the return of Kei, whatever is going on with the mechas, and more from Hoshino and the japanese school.
I'm also very glad Plana is free from the Restriction Release event and can appear in the main campaign screen.

>>531155524
Retard, everyone thought shit happens because of GSC pres, she goes back in time to take over a tablet so that shit doesn't happen. No one was thinking of parallel worlds.

>>531155394
>>531155440
God I love Hifumi.

>>531155198
Yes, at least now I know how to evaluate his other opinions.
I don't think the story is bad. It's an interesting story with philosophical and political themes, but it's very shallow and then abandons them towards the end.
Volumes 2, 3 and 4 could have developed into something interesting. But I think it's a bit of a stretch when it comes to gacha, which needs to be easy to understand and popular, and it also has to sell in China.

>>531155636
>they wavered on that a bit in volume1 ch3
that's like the most hopeful one yet
The reality that you WILL be met with death as you live is a difficult one that fucks with nearly all of us. It set out to give a hopeful answer for people who suffer big time from stuff like survivor's guilt, regular guilt, or just mourning.

>>531155636
don't call my bro francis a liar. this story will not have a happy ending

>>531155653
get off the computer, shuro

>>531155692
just be yourself

when does the lore get good? This Abydos school is really boring.

>>531155724
Skill issue. Every non-retard understands time travel and parallel worlds coexist, it's literally space and time

Why are these rabbits like this.

>>531155902
Grow up.
Also that's literally first chapter of the story, BROTHA

>>531155768
The story doesn't abandon its themes at all towards the end so I don't know what you mean by this. The core message stays relatively consistent throughout the volumes

>>531154293
>>531154463
>>531155287
Fuck it, you convinced me. If I'm not rolling for the girls that make me feel funny, then why am I playing a gacha game in the first place?
Let's hope the leftover pyrox will be enough to get something neat on Bluefes, I heard it's gonna have higher 3* droprates.

>>531155625
no pyros for you tomorrow if it rains or it gets too cold

>>531155707
>I have avoided watching any PVs
even the 4th? That was a big missed opportunity, mate

You might think they spoil things, but they don't really, and they kind of fit together with the final experience of actually reading the story. You basically ought to watch the PVs "as they came" before the stories they advertise.

>>531155768
been telling ya it's just a copy of yugioh 5d's

>>531155707
People were annoyed because it took half a year for Volume1 Ch3 to come out, because the devs decided to now release chapters in little segments at a time and end every segment on a cliffhanger so the chapter feels annoying. They've gotten a bit better at scheduling things again recently, but it should be three chapters per year(maybe six month period, I forget); not three volumes, but three chapters at least.
Didn't help that the only thing they released during those six months were just alts, and the release schedule became really shitty for awhile. They've gotten better at releasing not just alts again for a bit.

>>531155641
I don't think Mr. Jovi was talking about Blue Archive when he made that song all those years ago

>>531155925
Lmao you gave up. Anyways it's just common in story writing that it falls apart after one of these elements are introduced so adding both is... interesting. You can't sincerely look at the current main story and say the damage wasn't done.

>>531155126
It’s the best consistently good gacha story by far. That’s just not an incredibly high bar.

>Abydosslop

>>531155768
the themes were always that of hope and the value of educational growth, and those have not ever changed

it is a self-acknowledged NOT unique story, and even addresses that blatantly multiple times, but that is what it is. It is a story that seeks to find happy endings, and if one doesn't like that the game is not for them. In the seeking of happy endings, I would say Blue Archive stands out magnificently, and the character writing is absurdly good.

>>531155825
Do you want your ass kicked again old man? No? Then check that tone. I'm not in the mood to hear your idealist nonsense about hope and happy ends.

>>531155769
>Story where the core message is that it doesn't matter if its a deus ex or of its cliche or contrived, any plot device is fine as long as it creates the good ending. Early volume 3 Hifumi and Azusa are talking about the Peroro movie; Hifumi obviously has strong views about it which she later confirms during her big speech, that it doesn't matter how it happens, everyone should be saved and happy in the end, it doesn't matter how deus ex it is, the good ending for everyone is the most important part for the story. This is literally the title drop moment for the game, because its so important to the core message of the game

If you're crying and butthurt because you think I don't like the story, you'd be wrong because I do like it. I just think Vol F introduced an element that made it more difficult for future writers. Vol F was great but hurt the future unlike Vol 3 which was not only the best but also paved the path for Vol F.

The only story where absolutely everything goes well is Millennium's.

>>531155996
You're right, the core themes aren't abandoned, but it uses certain tools to explain that it abandons later.
It's like many of the names used in the game. They're nice details and sound cool, but they have little relevance after a while. Abydos is and has many Egyptian themes but the story doesn't have a theme that really uses those well. It could be any other mythology that would fit into the story in a reasonable way.

>>531156361
I really wish they would've just went with parole denied, that makes a lot more sense to me. The fail made me think she failed at convincing them to peacefully join the police school and that's why she tossed the last one to sensei.

>>531156029
>>531156413
I did see a few PVs, just not every single one, and definitely not future ones. I did follow the read order, otherwise I would've been done with the story weeks ago. I've been playing for a month, maybe a bit more, and just now finished vol F.
If feel bad for the anons that are skipping stuff and rushing just because of blue fest. Why play at that point?

>>531156634
They flash by so quickly it doesn't spoil anything unless if you're saving every single frame and analyzing them one by one. If the nips can watch PV trailers on a big screen during a major stream event then so can you

>>531156634
Not a real spoiler without context, cope.

>Got 7 new 3 stars in the 100 free rolls

>>531156709

>>531156469
I'm pissed retards like you can't even enjoy a simple story or understand for what it is. Vol F was supposed to be the end of the end, but of course Nexon has to milk it dry even after the incident, it won't ever be perfect that's just the reality, but if you start questioning things with just your expectations you'd just be depressed. I suggest you just read non-fictional works since you can't handle fiction apparently.

>>531156757

>>531156757
If newfag I forgive you
If oldfag kill yourself

>>531156867
Playable Shinon when Nexon.

>>531156730
we always analyze them 1 by 1

That said, that doesn't mean we understand things. For volume F, absolutely nobody called anything that happened in that PV. Nobody knew what Plana was (some were like "Uhhh...Arona???"), nobody knew what Kuroko was doing, shooting star? What was even the premise etc. We even got "spoiled" on Peroro v Kaiten and we all know the actual thing in game was far cooler than we would've imagined.

PV6 is shaping up similarly. There's a lot of little bits we can kinda figure out, but obviously there's a lot of context missing to really understand. I for one am seriously wondering about Ohr in that grass field, given she in particular HATES nature

If I'm new I don't bother sparking for the armpit fox or titty gyaru and just keep saving for fes right?

>>531156441
>Story breaks the core message
>"You just don't get it"
Blue Archive is a shounen story about happy endings that starts with time travel(GSC president on the train)
People that tell you its super deep and complex and "its just too beyond you to understand" about the writer writing a depression chapter about coping with pain that you're never going to get over and the end moral is just "No this is just something you're going to be dealing with forever, but that's fine" its like someone showing me a webcomic like CAD and telling me how the miscarriage story makes the story deep and complex, because the characters had to cope with pain, and that makes it good. No I don't read a webcomic for an abortion story.

>>531156413
Nobody is actually autistic enough to follow that.

I think the decagrammaton lolis should have womb tattoos but that’s just me

>>531156654
The mythological theming isn't as explored as other aspects of the writing, fair, you could call it superfluous. But it never really was front and center either
BA prioritizes its hopeful messages which is of greater importance which is what most people care about and are referring to when talking about BA's writing, not really the intricate lore or worldbuilding. Themes vs "theming" essentially

Is S.Asuna worth sparking got Seia with the free rolls.

>>531157107
yes

>>531157000
>>>Story breaks the core message
It didn't. I already explained to you how it's a hopeful message. I really don't need to explain it twice. Again, if you haven't lost anyone and had to cope with it, then good for you. The story would be unironically extremely crude and fucked to give a "happy" ending where a person who is already dead happily revives. You know, like will never happen for players who have lost loved ones. It's not deep you stupid faggot nigger, it's just a message of hope to the suffering. Jesus you're gay

That aside none of the living student characters have died, but the weight of death has literally always been a thing since launch. We always knew Yume was "gone", and in volume 3 it was revealed that she'd died.

well, they should. adding PVs and spreading vol EX like that makes it look worse than it actually is. vol EX should be played at once before v2c2, nothing happens on these episodes other than the introduction of himari and boobwoman.

>>531157948
I will give him this one slight thing. This is spoilers for content not in global yet
Kei DID die. I don't believe she expected to be recovered. Kei.sav seemed to be outside of her prediction. She was also semi-conscious once input into the little robot doll. When she is actually revived, she is PISSED because she did not want to exist. She meant what she said, that she was the one who ought to disappear, and she knows that being revived means they "need" her for something dangerous.

Also, volume 5 was not written by isakusan.

>>531156757
Just one example so I don't get too specific.
But, to be more specific
Volume 3 is almost entirely about political conflicts to generate the climax of the story.
All the parties think they're right, and in a way they started out justified. But then they were abandoned and diminished to become just a sequence of misunderstoods. Which ,in the end, turned into a fight to save everyone and everyone being friends

>>531158045
>Ayame felt like another Yume
Eh not really. The moment they mentioned the spirit world I always figured we were gonna have our own Soul Society rescue arc. Maybe next time...

>>531148278
Have you claimed free Hina or is that too far out of reach?

>>531158045
Ayame wasn't a Yume situation at all. She was always just considered missing and stated as missing and framed by the story as missing. Versus characters across multiple volumes tip-toeing over Yume being explicitly dead, or even some characters telling you explicitly that Yume was dead

>>531157663
go for it

>>531157031

>>531157762
yeah fuck isakusan, that nigger wrote hifumi's hope speech about happy endings (???)

Listen, I think from what we've come to learn isakusan was a retard. I always suspected it from how loosely he associated himself with his work (he never claimed to care about it, and always insisted he was "a company employee"), but for whatever reason the stars seemed to align on Blue Archive and he wrote several stories that really tackle the struggle of human existence, and the reasons you would and should never kill yourself. Yes, including and honestly especially v1c3, which tackles problems the players are sadly all going to experience: losing someone you deeply care for and being unable to bring them back. Why live? Why not kill yourself and destroy everything around you? The story tries to give a worthwhile and not saccharine or bullshit answer to that for 2 characters.

Man is an idiot but he can write a mean story with a specific team, apparently.

Nah I really mean it, you're retarded. God in fuck I don't even know why /bag/ pretends people actively dislike volume 1 when it makes a fuckton of people laugh and has a load of fun moments, with a simple and easy to follow story that gets out of the way fast

and v1c3 was received extremely well by anyone outside of /bag/. Actually including in /bag/ come to think of it once it finished in global

do I read the story in this order?
t. skipped story for pyros, genuinely want to read the story now that I got my pyros

>>531157443
no way.. the sheet said I have time for double shupos spark and s.izuna spark..

Oh you mean this newcutie that liked it? >>531158774
Dumbass mother fucker, what an eyesore seeing the stupid shit you post.

>>531159092
read it in this order >>531156413
seriously.

>>531143206
Will it finally be her turn?

Sometimes /bag/ posts super cringey pics

>>531157447
Still fucks with me that they will spell check volume 1 a hundred times over, but Nexon will never go back over and fix the issues with the last few chapters of volume 3 and early volume 4

>Why don't you just send in a hundred tickets for every single line
Considering how proactive they are with certain things I shouldn't have to

always depends on your current pyro count

>>531159092
I read it in that order, Vol 2 part 2 is meant to be after 3 & 4 but works out fine if you read it first since it's all within Millenium.

thoughts?

>>531158439
tl;dr: the OP

>>531159302
Zero

>>531159092
the main thing is you should read volume ex before reading volume 2 chapter 2
for some inane reason, the game doesn't tell you this, but volume ex happens before volume 2 chapter 2 and introduces a bunch of stuff they just casually don't explain to you once you start reading chapter 2

you can also read events if you want. The main thing really is to "read all the events that came out before volume Final, before reading volume Final" and you can kinda read them whenever. After that you can really pick and choose reading order other than Shanghai related events, which very strictly follow a chronological order.

>After that
I mean, after volume F

you can read in the release order but not muuuuch depends on that chronology.

why is /bag/ afraid to admit that c&c has the most sex designs? they literally saved ba from eos multiple times.

>>531159450
lol

>>531159302
Sex. She will birth me many children. 2 before marriage and 7 after.

>>531159446
Does it not stop you when you get to "post volume F" content? I MUST imagine that it does...

>>531159302

i don't understand the erotism of cibrage, also bewbs too big

>why is /bag/ [headcannon]

I've seen a few posts from newfags criticizing Vol 1 but never Vol 2. Do they just skip it? I know they finished it because we're seeing people beat the priest.

>>531158365
It's the degeneracy seeing them visible through clothing, catching light or swinging during movement, the piercings draw attention to them and by extension the nipple and breast constantly associating the girl with sex all the time.

I literally never stop shitting on how bad the GDD is and how much the story would improve if they didn't exist

>>531159637
Because it's a fucking nothing burger like Senseis presence during said volume. The real meat is at 3.

>>531159302
Sex, Hoshino sex, sexo sex

I get more where you're coming from
Volume 3 does focus less on the politicking towards the end.
Fair criticism, the story presents its politics as its pet topic and expects you to be invested in it.
Other volumes have their own pet topics that don't really follow-through across other volumes.

At the same time I don't really think this is necessarily "wrong"? The potential is there to make these pet topics become thematic connections across the whole main story, but they're not really the main focus to begin with.
The main focus will always be on the hopeful outlook after a period of strife. With some other messages extracted along the way (having a hatred that isn't your own, how far you're willing to forgive someone, etc.)
I don't really expect BA to be a political thriller type of story, anyhow

>>531143121 (OP)
why no birthday girl post? , post moar of her

>>531159169
this sounds like a pain in the ass

I switched from sankaku's booru to gelbooru. How do you exclude explicit from search? Because -rating_explicit doesn't work.

Jumby my beloved...

I think it's time to stop pretending that zoos is sexy

>>531159637
volume 2 is very easy to enjoy especially because it reads extremely smoothly

The major issue with chapter 1 of volume 1 is something most people don't even notice because it's so smooth: how Sensei vanishes after they find Aris and only briefly appears for the fight at the end--then he vanishes again

Will there be maintenance for the banner tomorrow?

>>531159637
I slept my way through vol 2.

>>531159637
Newfags never talk about volume 3 at all aside from saying Hiero-kun is fucking them up. Despite it being the first chapter sensei really starts to act more like what defines modern sensei, it's the chapter he became "a character" in a vague sense of the word

>>531159784
It is.

The game really should just have a chronological order thing somewhere.
The problem, basically, is that they'll be introducing quite a few characters in those events and NOT "re"-introducing them when you hit volume F

So why are >we still acting like Yume is not going to resurrect when the entire point of the Osiris' myth is how his resurrection makes Egypt thrive again?

>>531159910
A colon. That's so dumb when the site's search suggests "rating explicit"

>>531159637
vol 2 is so much nothing that nobody even cares about it

>I literally never stop shitting on how bad the GDD is and how much the story would improve if they didn't exist
People like you shouldn't exist.

>>531159894
Your reading glasses grandpa? When someone says the real meat is at x it's being used as a positive expression.

I hope we never see abydos again for the rest of the games life

>>531159637
Vol 2 unironically has the best elements of an introduction chapter. School is actually populated by interesting characters. Mysterious ruins that tell you there is more to Kivotos than meets the eye. Naked loli for free. Student gets her first gun.

Would. Even the Asuna which is a man.

what do you mean?

>monkey chimping out over Abydos again
You love see it.

>>531159916
You know, I don't actually think Yume is tied to Osiris.

Not only is she pathetically weak, I don't think there's any motif other than "Sun" for her that really ties her to that god? Her last name for example doesn't seem related? It means Gardenia or something, not sure if that flower is related to Osiris. I think most people just say OMG OSIRIS because she died and her halo is the abydos logo, but it's not near as much as Hoshino's associations with Horus. One being literally called Horus, but also her eye of horus halo and gun, her shield (though yeah it was yume's). her moon in one eye and sun in the other, and her the name Takanashi which also ties to Horus
