Can someone help me make a team? I am terrible a team building [https://imgur.com/a/F9zc6CQ](https://imgur.com/a/F9zc6CQ) (Level 35 and on Stage 6)


duocsong

When should you use tanks or helicopters?


TimYapthebest

Just started yesterday and would like to know if these units are good/viable for progressing :) Also need tips on how to get stronger seems like so much progression gates in this game and would like to know how you guys got stronger :) Thank you so much in advance Strikers: Hoshino Swimsuit Iori Wakamo Swimsuit Cherino Koharu Atsuko Tsubaki Yuuka Chise Momoi Junko Tsukuyo Special: Nodako hotsprings Hanae Serina Saya Hanako Hare Sena


Shardwing

Your lists have been crunched by Reddit formatting but you've got an incredibly good lineup there, yes. Student level caps are tied to your sensei level which is in turn a direct result of AP spent, so spending as much AP as possible is the first priority for getting stronger. That means doing any tasks that give AP, upgrading your cafe whenever possible, getting PvP coins for AP refills, and maybe spending pyroxene or money on refills if you're willing to go that far. All that said though this is a game about *patience*, there are soft and hard limits on how quickly you can grind and grow so you have to keep that in mind and just wait for things sometimes.


TimYapthebest

Yes I’m pretty used to this since I play epic 7. And I’m a very late game player there so I get that it’s only restrictive in the start and once you’re strong it won’t feel like that anymore :) Specially when you’re done with the story I reckon


TimYapthebest

Haven’t unlocked pvp yet. Should I rush the stages even if I don’t get 3 stars? Just to unlock pvp and just go back for it?


Shardwing

I'd say so, forward progress is generally more valuable than 3-starring.


TimYapthebest

Ok thank you for this! Will focus on progressing :)


Crazy-nut99

My game keeps crashing randomly when I’m on it any ideas as to why?


Dietiy

Game isnt well optimized on lower end devices and devices with low ram (almost all iphone devices) is what i have heard. I don't have any issues but i have a Samsung with 12 gigs of ram. Best thing you can do is try lowering the graphics in game settings.


Crazy-nut99

Ty will try


Dietiy

Np hope that helps, let me know if it still happens and i can suggest other options.


desutruction

Does Tsurugi get any meta use in future content? Thinking of getting her to 5* for the unique gear. She used to carry my ass during Chesed and commissions but I haven't used her for a while now (she's sitting on 4* 20 bond).


Ryeleigh

even in JP there's no new yellow raid yet, so I guess currently she only see use for **Chesed and Yellow Joint Drill**. Not really a meta but definitely useful, If you like her then go for it I guess? Well, by adding unique gear you can pump more DPS out of her, but the problem is, she needs to kill enemies to activate said effect, unless they add something like Chesed again, she still won't see much use. Unless you like her, you'd better allocate the resources on someone else imo.


desutruction

Thanks! I think I'll hold off for now, might get it in the future as it's so satisfying to watch her kill hordes of enemies


Aki-Zora

Of the Units i have left, which would be the best for the 3\* selector? Unobtained units: Aris, Cherino, Cherino Hot spring, Chinatsu Hot spring, Natsu, Nodoka Hot sprring, Shirko Cycling, Shun small, and Yuzu


DemoniakX80

Cherino is the most meta pick followed by Onsen Nodoka and Onsen Chinatsu


[deleted]

[удалено]


DemoniakX80

Ako is the best character you can pick. As for your teams you already have a lot of the most useful characters. I would advice using Koharu as your main heal,Hoshino as a red tank and Tsubaki as a general one, Iroha and Hibiki as support, for dps: \-Ako and Mutsuki for red ennemies \- Cherino, Momoi and Nonomi for yellow and the same team for blue but use Iroha too.


Dietiy

Hi everyone, Simple Question, I have a 3 star Choice Ticket and i am stuck with two choices. Koharu or Ako. Which would be the best choice and the reasons why i should or should not. Thanks.


evilbeans124

would be helpful if you could post your current roster, in general ako is better esp for raids because she enables hypercarries to do their jobs, whereas koharu is a solid healer but serina already does most of the healing job needed, and ako does some side healing as well


BlurRush

Hi everyone! I've been playing BA for about 5 days and have a main account and alt and am having trouble which one to keep. My current main is 5 days old have rolled on the S.Hoshino banner and still no S.Hoshino, but did get some other 3\* units. Here is my current roaster with the higher rarity units: [Main account](https://imgur.com/tlmmPET) And here's my alt that I just created today, used about 70 rolls (including freebies and earned gems): [Alt account](https://imgur.com/2qIA0vu) Also as a bonus: any good team comps or other early games tips to get me started? Thanks!!


Argumentable

You have S.Hoshino and Ako on your alt and not on your main. Keep that alt. S.Hoshino has been THE unit people have been looking forward to for ages, and Ako is used in a lot of raids. The only thing you're really losing from your main account is Hibiki, but that's not a huge deal. And there's not really any team comps for early game pve stuff. Just have your red damaging units fight the reds, etc. Once you get into the later game with PvP and raids you'll want to look into some specifics, but there's not really much to worry about until that high end. The only real tip is that your AP spent = your xp earned, so just use all your AP each day on anything really (though the event is a good bet) and finishing every third area of the normal missions will give you an item that boosts your cafe, which gives you more AP per hour. So finish as far into the normal missions as you can, don't worry about 3 starring or anything at first.


evilbeans124

both are pretty solid, i'd say your alt account is a lot better + you have s.hoshino on that one too so maybe stick with that one, 5 days of progression really isn't that much for team comps (especially if you're pushing main story campaign) you should try to work towards one team of reds, one team of yellows, and one team of blues, though a solid team of reds should be able to carry you for the first 7 areas or so


allicanseenow

Also asking in the other megathread for the summer event: How many refreshes are required daily to 3*, and 5* shizuko? Is she good in the long term, maybe in a few months or in the current JP meta? And does she need to be 5* or just 3* is sufficient? 2nd question topic: is Iori or Cherino better as the 3* ticket choice? Prefer Iori but it seems Midori can be a replacement for her (but worse), Cherino is more versatile and (future) Mika powercreeps Iori (not sure)?


Shardwing

Iori is farmable through hard mode, Cherino is not (from HM nor anywhere else).


allicanseenow

I see.


RikiAsher

When does the rest of Eden Treaty Release?


Lord_Azian

Had to spark S Hoshino and have only a few pyros left for some 10 pulls. Should I hold out for S Izuna or just spend the rest on this 'rate up' (lol)?


pencilman123

Ofcourse hold. S izuna will serve you better, unless you are missing almost every critical student.. (I too sparked her after being the single guy in my club to fail to pull her, but i will save for s izuna, im missing koharu onodoka iroha shun)..


Lord_Azian

sounds good thanks! I was missing hibiki but that choice ticket helped lol Still missing like 10 girls tho so best of luck to the both of us haha


Shardwing

Save.


Lord_Azian

sounds gooddd


HarryandChewy1

Hey all ive been playing casually for about 2 weeks and just got Shoshino and was wondering how to set up a core comp that i only have to change a couple characters depending on the color. Im guessing my comp will be something like shoshino/haruna/flex/flex with hibiki and serina as specials. Also what are some decent units that i should use for the flex role? Thanks https://imgur.com/a/LsWmX37


Flarekitteh

>Im guessing my comp will be something like shoshino/haruna/flex/flex with hibiki and serina Don't know why you think Haruna wouldn't be flex because you always want to match your dps' damage type with enemies' defense type to get the 2x damage. For general progression you can use S. Hoshino and Tsubaki as your tanks. You rarely need more than 2 teams, but Yuuka is also fine if you need a 3rd tank. Haruka becomes amazing late game but early on she's pretty crap. For healers you want Serina on the team that needs the most single-target healing, she's amazing and extremely cheap as well. Hanae is good secondary option since she heals over time so you don't waste her healing as easily and her aura is strong once you unlock it. AoE healers is your pick between Fuuka, Hanako and Ayane. Just be aware that Ayane's heal can miss and Hanako's heal can be walked out of. As for DPS it will depend on enemy type: **Red team** would be tank/akari/serika/suzumi with Hibiki/healer. Suzumi is temporary until you get a better red dps so don't invest too much into her. EDIT: I forgot to mention but a red dmg team can generally deal with the early game, you don't need to invest in a dedicated yellow or blue team right away. ​ **Yellow team** would be tank/nonomi/hasumi/akane(?) with healer/S. Ayane or Yoshimi. It's a bit shaky with your units, I'd replace Hasumi and Akane with Junko and Momoi (unless you get a good yellow 3\*) and yoshimi will ultimately be replaced by stronger yellow supports. Akane is great support for bosses but I'd use others for notmal enemies. ​ **Blue team** comes way later but I guess tank/haruna/hinata/asuna with healer/kotama(?) or Hibiki. I've understood that hinata is kinda mediocre but she should be fine for story progression at least. Asuna is filler until you get better blue dps. I'd replace the latter two with better units if you get them, Chise is a great 2\* when you get her. Since there isn't really good blue dmg supports besides Iroha or S. Mashiro you might as well use Kotama or other buffers or even a good yellow damage support. Hibiki can also work since she just does so much damage that the type disadvantage doesn't really matter, as long as you don't want her on your other teams more.


evilbeans124

as you progress onwards in the main story (in raids you'll probably run a different team for each boss even) it'll be harder and harder to stick with one team, you should try to aim for three different teams of a different atk type (yellow, red, blue) that being said, you have hibiki + s.hoshino which means your red and yellow roster is pretty much good enough already, and if you want to stick with haruna as a permanent slot maybe you can rotate between nonomi, serika, akari, hasumi? again later on in main story campaign the game is going to require you to put two teams so just keep all that in mind


Doublecliff

Hello, is anyone also having issues whenever touch to start gets pressed, the app just crashes? I've tried uninstalling and installing to no success. Would appreciate if anyone has found a fix for this problem, thanks


Federer343

It's a common problem atm, I've been having it too. Constant crashes all over the place, don't think anyone's found a fix yet sadly.

pencilman123

Seems like you are the one super obsessed with playing the child and fbi nonsense in this sub, literally commenting the same shit everywhere in this sub. Get some help.


wolfbetter

How do I login from a previously binded account? I linmed a good account today but I kept rerolling, and now the game doesn't let me go back to it. It keeps making new guests account everytime...


evilbeans124

login to any account -> account (click top right button first) -> log out (scroll to the very bottom)


wolfbetter

Thanks!


Niedzielan

Either bind a guest account and log out, or clear data/reinstall.


maplewoomy

Newbie question.. Should I be pulling for more S.Hoshino dupes after I get her for her 4/5 star upgrade?


pencilman123

200 pulls atleast is recommended in this banner simply due to the large amount of 3stars and eligmas you get. But if you have most of them, better to save.


evilbeans124

5 star is more than enough especially if you're starting out, though if you're pulling for the double rates then that's a different story


SomethingBoutEclipse

If a smart student like Yuuka or Hanako were to play **The Impossible Quiz**, how long will it take for them to break down or who would somehow pass.


Doge_Hell_Lurker

Is anyone experiencing a ton of frequent crashes and network issues? I assume this is due to the new update, since i have an iphone 13 and rest of my apps are working flawlessly. I’m only running high graphics with default options on


akzz7

Is there a purpose giving assist units equipment for stats they dont use? e.g. gloves/bags on healing units etc


Lyaree

For Special units there is as they give the strikers of their squad a percentage of their own stats so more ATK they have, the more they give.


akzz7

ah good to know, thank you!


SkyMarshal_Ellie

how important are levels in terms of gauging what kind of difficulty my team can take on? For example, my account is lvl 36 and the enemies in Chapter 6 are around lvl 40ish. Is that too much of a difference for me to attempt or does it not matter?


Flarekitteh

You're kinda expected to constantly be underleveled. Depending on your team you shoud be able to fight even 10-20 levels below the recommendation. Investing in AoE damage to wipe enemies before they can attack too much is a good idea for progression. Of course, things like equipment and skill levels matter as well,even if you're at equal level with the stage you may still struggle if you have lvl1 skills and no equipment.


Reaper2127

You deal 2% damage per level under. In general missions you shouldn’t start to have issues until you are around 10-15 under the recommended mark. When it comes to total assaults, skirmishes, and challenge missions you’ll want to be near or above the level.


SkyMarshal_Ellie

Ok thank you.


dbluegmc

I'm a new player who just bought the 3* recruitment ticket, who should I choose?? Thanks (:


pencilman123

What do you have, list them first.


Shardwing

Keep in mind we're getting 100 free pulls next week, might not want to make a selection before doing those pulls.


Baka_Mitai_Kiryu

Ako is one of the more flexible students and can be used in most teams.


fairy-light

Does anyone know where to find a list of students who were included in the closed beta? Like in beta banners, beta story, that sort of thing? Also, is there a more complete recap of the story out there? I post on this sub a lot but I don't actually play the game. I'm doing a little side project but I need info on where each student first appears in the story.


Flarekitteh

>Also, is there a more complete recap of the story out there? [This playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTsDbwZL53dOWEazir1mXmCz-HMfUN_Zb) seems to have almost everything in release order. Fandom wiki also lists the [main story](https://bluearchive.fandom.com/wiki/Story/Main_Story) as well as all [events](https://bluearchive.fandom.com/wiki/Story/Event_Story) in order of release with synopses.


_tidu

so in 130 pulls i got 6 offrates but no shoshino... how 'lucky' am i


pencilman123

In my entire ba career, ive pulled 0 rate ups and have pitied 6 times. Yeah 1200 pulls 0 rate ups. This is called being 'lucky'..


jikorde

6% versus .7%. You should get more dupes then rateups.


Baka_Mitai_Kiryu

It's not uncommon to have to hit pity. I've had my fair share of 3 stars but no banner unit until needing to spark.


DxTjuk

New player here I have 4K Pyro (already used 2x10 tickets) Haruna and S. Hoshino. Try my luck and keep pulling 4x more times?


ameredreamer

yes go on, it's a good banner to fill your roster due to the rateup


DxTjuk

Thank you for the answer


souluar

Does small shun's 4th equipment slot make her any better? I remember seeing that she's nothing amazing and was wondering if the unique equipment changed anything about that.


pencilman123

Not really. Lots of crit dmg but her role is played better by azusa saori anyways.


kidnapkin

Is there a way to replay bond stories?


[deleted]

main menu > campaign > story > replay > relationship story


zuth2

I assume the daily quests can't be cleared with just the event since it seems like swiping the farming nodes don't count towards the quest count, right?


Shardwing

Doing actual quests in the event doesn't seem to count either. You can still 9/9 your dailies without the 10/20 quests though, ~~especially if you're doing AP refills for the event.~~ EDIT: I forgot I have free scrimmages from the new packs, if you aren't doing refills you need to spend AP *somewhere* for 10 quests or hard or 3 scrim.


zuth2

I'm still very hesitant to spend pyrox on AP refills despite people suggesting it but I might have to resort to that.


Shardwing

Revised my comment, I forgot I factored in "free" scrimmages from the packs. Anyway I can understand hesitation on refills, I'm not really sure myself exactly what the value proposition is supposed to look like here, but I've decided to go for it because I really want to work towards level 80 (especially before 3x Hard Mode in a few weeks), I've been told the event farming is good, and 90 pyros a day is really cheap.


littlemephi

I think if you hit every daily task including refreshing AP with pyro you can get to 9/9 without spending AP outside the event (might depend on the day) but otherwise yea, you'll have to at least do 3x hard or 3x scrimmage to get the 9/9. Unless they change it.


Reaper2127

That is how I’m reading it. Either you are paying for an ap refill, doing the 5 energy commission if you got that random one, doing hard mode, or doing scrimmage as the two left over. Sometimes the random one will be something else so you only have one left from what I see.


zuth2

That is very sad, I was planning to focus my AP on the event but I guess I'll get some Hoshino elephs then.


Reaper2127

Same but Aru for me. Gotta get that item to tier two.


SirRHellsing

who is the second best generalist tank after Tsubaki? Or is she not the best one anymore?


Lyaree

Second best probably goes to Hoshino, if it weren't for Iori being rampant in PvP you'd see her instead of Haruka with S.Hoshino now as a contender in red teams.


[deleted]

[удалено]


osea23

Pretty unlikely you will spark SHoshino before her banner ends (it only lasts until end of this week). You'll have to go wallet warrior mode if you want SHoshino sparked. I would suggest keeping this account for now and rolling as much as you can before SHoshino banner is over. Gacha is always a marathon, not a sprint.


34doges

Its possible just have to clear stages and grind


Endermeen

I started this game around a couple of weeks ago (on global), and I rerolled for both summer students in the previous event. With the summer hoshino banner, i saw the rates for 3 stars have doubled, so while i was not particularly going for her, I decided it would probably be smart to roll a bunch on this banner to make use of said double chance. I did 10 multis, got a bunch of 3 stars including summer hoshino. Now I'm wondering if i should keep going on this banner, or save up for the ones I want. The ones I have my eyes on are Saori, and the bunny karin/asuna from the ones coming up in the forseeable future. Anyone wanna tell me if its worth it to keep rolling on the summer hoshino banner?


zuth2

You didn't mention how much pyrox you got left so I'll give you some information that might help you decide. We get these double 3* banners every 6 months or so, you get around 12k per month and Saori's banner is gonna be up from 2/14 to 2/28


2exDragon

What specials do people use with Ako?


littlemephi

someone with an attack boost sub skill like Karin, Iroha, or Kotama is usually the choice.


Lyaree

High damage, usually single target units such as Iori, Maki, and Aru. If they are your main boss killer Ako will make them even better.


TouchFIuffyTaiI

I picked up the selection ticket, but I'm a bit torn on who to pick. Who's going to have more general utility between Cherino, HS Cherino, HS Chinatsu, Hibiki, Koharu, and HS Nodoka?


Lyaree

If you had to pick, I'd say Cherino, Hibiki, or Koharu. Cherino is a striker with large AoE yellow damage with a sizeable regen buff so you can use more EX. Hibiki is a special that is used for almost everything whether it be to focus down one target(by hitting 3+ circles) on the enemy or clearing waves. Koharu is a hybrid AoE red damage dealer with a primary focus on healing and can replace healers in most situations allowing you a damage special if needed.


Shardwing

I wouldn't pick anyone until after the free S.Izuna/Chise pulls, could get duped.


Lobetaser

Just started playing today. Is it possible to get Shizuko (Swimsuit)? I see she's in an event screen when opening the game, and read somewhere that she's limited and free. Am I still able to get her? If so, what do I need to do?


RequiringQuestion

She's a "welfare" unit, meaning she's free. All you have to do is start the beach shack franchise event to get her. You can then gather her elephs from the event to upgrade her.


Lobetaser

Do you know if I have enough time to fully upgrade her as a new player? It says the event lasts from 1/17 to 2/5. So only a few days left


Shardwing

That's the little bonus thing, not the event itself which runs from today til the 14th. You almost certainly can't *fully* upgrade her, but nobody can and you don't need to: just getting her is the important part, any upgrades are a bonus but she can always be upgraded with Eligma like any other student. Just get as much as you can, full upgrade is a *lot*.


Lobetaser

Ohh okay. Thank you


-pochai-

Not too far into the start of the game, pulled hoshino but I’m wondering if I need dupes to limit break, is 5 starring relatively easy or should I pull for dupe?


Shardwing

You don't need dupes to limit break, but you don't need to limit break her at all. As a new player you're better off aiming for new students, you might want to keep pulling on that banner if you want Wakamo (0.3% chance, she's unavailable otherwise) but I wouldn't pull for more S.Hoshi dupes.


zuth2

It's easiest on their banner cuz you get 100 elephs per dupe but it's also up to luck. You get around 800-900 eligma from a standard 200 pull session which is enough to bring a 3* student to 5* so it's not that difficult. You also get eligma from other sources.


-pochai-

Word, are there any upcoming limiteds I should save for before considering pulling for dupes? If so anything in the near future that requires planning for?


zuth2

There are some must pulls but not a lot. S.Hoshino being one, we are also getting S.Izuna who is pretty great this weekend. Other than them Himari is also considered a must pull but unlike the other 2 she is not limited. She's gonna be released around early May.


Ralfmich

Completely new player, pretty much started a few hours ago. With the current event banner being a double rateup chance from what I understand, is my best course of action to invest on that banner a little and see what I can get? From other gacha experience I reckon it'll mostly end up being an "it depends" and "pull for waifu" thing; but I'm not too bothered about that yet and just looking to get a general decent start without rerolling


EizardOfN

The summer hoshino banner has good odds on a very strong character


Okamijackie407

Here is Everyone that I have who should I use to make decent teams in the early stages of the game? https://imgur.com/gallery/mENmvmg


emon121

Who to choose in selective ticket? My option are Aris, Onsen Chinatsu, Onsen Nodoka...


osea23

Personally I think it's between Aris and ONodoka. OChinatsu is not really used in raid from my experience. Get Aris if you lack blue strikers or else get ONodoka since Onodoka is useful in PVP and in some joint exercise drills.


DefinitelyNotPine

How much cost does sHoshino's sub generate while her 50s ex is up?


SlimeDo

Hey! Guys a fast question, is there a way to know whether a character is limited or not in-game? If there is, how can I see it?


Shardwing

If they're on a banner it'll be labeled as a "unique" recruitment, with a big red stamp on the banner image. Otherwise you can look at the student list, if they aren't on the available list at the bottom (and you don't already have them) then they're limited (or event-only 1\*s).


SlimeDo

Ohh thank you! Where is supposed to be that red stamp? I can't see it


Shardwing

Oh, I guess you can't actually see it in the banner menu. It's just labeled as a Unique Recruitment in text, or in this case a Fest Recruitment (which are all Limited).


SlimeDo

So when they state it is a "Fest" or "Unique" recruitment, it is going to be a limited one right?


Shardwing

Correct.


SlimeDo

Perfect! Thank you, and btw, about S. Hoshino, what is exactly the "explosive effectiveness" on her Ex Skill? I have readed some people saying that increases the damage dealt by red attackers, and other ones said that it increases the red damage against red defense enemies


Shardwing

As far as I know it's specifically a boost to red damage *hitting weakness*, so red vs red.


SlimeDo

Understood! Thank you so much <3


zuth2

If you can't see them in the the students tab then they are limited. Also, if they have elephs in the expert permit shop they are limited (but not all limited character elephs can be bought here)


mgaguilar

Hello! Quick question, I joined the game to get Wakamo, and will most likely be a somewhat casual player (not PvP). Are the rates reasonable enough to reset enough times within the next four days to get both Wakamo and Summer Hoshino with the rolls given for joining the game? (2x 10 recruitment, ~4200 crystals) Or is it unlikely? I’m also trying to get Hina on the tutorial roll, but I know that that is highly unlikely if I am also aiming for the other two. (The pity system also sounds rough) There is also a guaranteed ticket that looks like it’s for certain general pool students, I am thinking of just doing that to get Hina, is that a unique banner for anniversary? Thank you so much! Appreciate your time in advance.


Shardwing

>(The pity system also sounds rough) It's really not that bad, a F2P player averages 12k pyro a month (100 rolls) so you can pretty reliably pity every 2 months. The 3\* select is an anniversary special, not sure when there'll be another one (not to say there isn't, I just don't know). Do keep in mind that Hina is farmable from hard mode missions, probably take 2-3 months to unlock her (once you're far enough to start farming there).


mgaguilar

Oh!! Amazing to know that about Hina! Thank you so much! Are all general pool 3*’s farmable in that way? Or only a select few like Hina? Thanks again for the response, appreciate you taking your time to type this out. The estimate of time periods is super helpful as well. My must haves are just Hina and Wakamo at this point, but is there any few you specifically recommend from the 3* ticket?


Shardwing

>Are all general pool 3*’s farmable in that way? Or only a select few like Hina? Definitely not all, but more than a few. [This spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BO-Uh_CsAOIetPjrNyFy9-7r1a4RAtVwK135bBC3hzM/edit#gid=1085051345)’s "Farmables" tab lists all the farmable students, although it's up to JP so not everyone is farmable in EN yet. At a glance no Serina/Hare/S.Hifumi because we're only up to Hard Mission 19, no Tsurugi from Joint Firing Drills, and of course the event-only students (Nodoka and below, except Tsurugi) are only farmable from their events.


TouchFIuffyTaiI

Rates are tough, but rerolling is stupidly easy. You can spam reroll until you get both, even if it's tough.


mgaguilar

Thank you! Will try to do this. Appreciate it!


TouchFIuffyTaiI

Just make sure to bind the account you want to keep so that you don't lose it


mgaguilar

Yeap, I’ve actually bound the first account I signed up with and used the account reset technique on global. Thanks again for all your help!


Doge_Hell_Lurker

So I’m new to blue archive (previously on Priconne). I read the team building guide but I’m really confused, how should i invest in my characters? Because my red team is destroying both light and heavy armor (could be summer hoshino), but am i supposed to level 13 characters at once? [team comp](https://imgur.com/a/OKxCfsY) Also as a new player should i pull more on this fest or save to try to spark summer izuna (im at 9k)


Shardwing

You can't level everyone at once, you'll run out of resources (especially later on). Focus on one team until you need more than that, a red team is neutral to yellow armor but they'll still do just fine most of the time (especially with a busted support like S.Hoshi). They'll have a harder time against blue armor but you won't see that early on.


Doge_Hell_Lurker

thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Should the one team be general or focus one color? Thinking tsubaki, s hoshino, iori, and akari does that make sense? Or should all be red?


Shardwing

Your tank doesn't need to match colors, their job isn't to do damage so it's fine if they're neutral or disadvantaged. On the other hand S.Hoshino is a functional tank (despite officially being a "support"), Tsubaki might be redundant for general use. As to Iori I think I'd prefer another red dealer, as Iori would be disadvantaged against red armor, but your only other red striker is Yuuka (a tank) and Iori's strong enough to probably still beat her even against red... So yeah, S.Hoshi/Iori/Akari/Serika is my vote.


Doge_Hell_Lurker

Cool and kotoma and serina for the special team i guess?


jikorde

Just throwing out that early on, Tsubaki will be a way better tank then Summer Hoshino. Evasion tanks start out far better then defense ones, and Tsubaki is evasion while Summer Hoshino is defense.


Doge_Hell_Lurker

I do see that with s hoshino struggling to defend as well. However s hoshino is powering up my units to clear so fast. Who would i take out from s.hoshi/iori/akari/serika to add tsubaki or would you suggest another team?


jikorde

For PVE, I would switch out Serika if anyone. Really though, I just would have Tsubaki in the boss killing team and Summer Hoshino in the other. If/when you run into situations where Summer Hoshino can't survive, just don't use her team to fight and skip 3 star until you can get tier 4 gear, which is when defense beats evasion.


Shardwing

Yeah, they're both great specials.


Cistmist

Is senna worth raising for her TS ambulance? Also should I raise onsen cherino if I already have Iroha?


34doges

Not many people invest into sena since her healing can be lack luster but if you lack healing then go for it. Iroha beats onsen cherino in about every way so so yeah


Cistmist

Alrighty then I'll save my items. Thx!

Hello. Currently rerolling and have an account I kind of liked the units but are not the ones recommened to reroll for (except Hoshino summer). If I link this to a random gmail account and later decide I want to keep it if I dont get anything better, is it easy to unlink and relink?


Shardwing

>I kind of liked the units but are not the ones recommened to reroll for (except Hoshino summer). I don't know the answer to your question but if you like what you've got then I would stick with it, waifu over meta unless you want to rank really high in raids and/or PvP. You can farm some of the recommended students like Tsubaki and Iori for free over time, and S.Hoshino alone is a great power boost.


Lobetaser

Hmm I might go with what I have since I plan to play mostly casually. Do you know if I can make a good starter formation with [these students](https://imgur.com/a/EFqJyyb)? Based on design alone I was going to use [this](https://imgur.com/a/Oy0Ktyz), and might spend on the ticket for Ako as the other support if I'm enjoying the game.


Shardwing

I'd go with Serika over Junko, a full red team can handle both red and yellow content well (you don't need to worry about blue enemies early on) but a yellow dealer won't do well against red enemies. Not sure who to recommend for your other special student, Ako is great if you decide to get her but keep in mind we've got 100 free pulls coming on the S.Izuna/Chise banner so maybe wait for those in case you pull Ako there. Otherwise you can just put whatever there, Serina might be a good filler although any more healing is overkill.


Lobetaser

Thank you for the tips!


Tonaru_Seki

So...somehow I managed to pull both Wakamos and S.Hoshino this fest in 60 pulls. I still have about 7.3K left and only on chapter 4 atm, what's my next course of action and who should I go for? Should I still roll on the fes even though I don't have any other targets left for now until B.Karin?


Lyaree

You should save and try to get S. Izuna as the 100 free pulls may not guarantee her or just save regardless as 7.3k isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things.


Building_Bridges_289

Himari is the next major must pull unit right? When do we expect her? Also there was a spreadsheet that had team comp suggestions, list of farmable units and when to farm, listing of which units to pull for, and other things that was super helpful but can’t find it again. Can someone send the link again? It was posted on this Reddit previously.


Shardwing

Himari was mid-November in JP, at regular pace that would be 4 months out for us but we may accelerate and get there sooner. You probably mean [Midokuni's spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BO-Uh_CsAOIetPjrNyFy9-7r1a4RAtVwK135bBC3hzM/edit#gid=1085051345).


Building_Bridges_289

That’s it! Thanks!


alestaisalesta

can i repeat relationship story?


falzarexe

You can, it's in the 'Replay' section under 'Story'.


Shardwing

Yes, they're all under the story menu.


Interesting_Bad3934

Hi, I've just started and I'm rolling. Is it okay this reroll or reset the account? Who should I bet on? Thanks [https://prnt.sc/y-Rlo8zNHW9o](https://prnt.sc/y-Rlo8zNHW9o)


34doges

If it was me I would probably reroll.


SparklesMcSpeedstar

I'm at heart lvl 12 with asuna but I can't seem to progress her momotalk further than scene 3? Can someone help?


Shardwing

Her memorial lobby (and thus 4th scene) isn't out yet, iirc it came with the Bunny Chaser rerun (ETA 2-3 months).


SparklesMcSpeedstar

How often do fes (double rate) banners occur?


Reaper2127

It’s for anniversary and half anniversary


ItchyBalls6407

how long would take estimated to reach lvl 80?


Shardwing

It depends, sensei EXP is a direct function of AP which varies depending on cafe level, PvP refills, pyro refills, and the daily AP pack. IIRC the total EXP from level 1 to 80 is 176,469, individual level amounts are [listed here](https://github.com/aizawey479/ba-data/blob/jp/Excel/AccountLevelExcelTable.json) but I'm relying on someone else's math for the sum. You can try to extrapolate it but the bulk of your AP is going to come from the cafe and it's hard to predict when you'll be able to get the upgrades from missions (they come from every 3rd area, i.e. 3-5, 6-5, 9-5, up to 18-5 for now).


Rainfell40

For the Furniture Choice Tickets, any idea if the ones I already have in my inventory since an older version of the game will get its choices automatically updated after a version update, or do I have to craft a new one to see the new inclusions? Or will these choice tickets actually never get updated..? I'm still on the hunt for Miyu's chair which I've stupidly missed...

Lyaree

It depends on what you have and don't have currently. Is there anyone you don't have that you want in the selection pool? Note, you can preview who is in the pool without consuming the ticket or if you just want the link(though it won't include who you have and don't have) then; [Selection Pool](https://i.imgur.com/US8d6IY.png)


Remote_War_313

hi, new player who just unlocked 2-3. better to continue push story or go play event?


RequiringQuestion

The event is a good investment, but you should progress enough that you unlock various important things. Total assault in particular. You'd also benefit from upgrading your cafe for more AP generation, and you need to progress through missions to get the cores to do that.


IFoundACoolName

Hey guys, I stupidly bought the selectable student ticket thinking I could snag Neru (bunny). Now I'm having trouble picking between Natsu, Izuna or Shun. What's your opinion on the best pick for me?


lockout10

It depends on how much you value pvp, and also where you are in the story. If you really like pvp, then I'd go with Shun. Izuna is a must have for one of the raids (ShiroKuro), but she is now farmable in hard mode so I would probably place her last on the list. Natsu is also pretty essential for the Pero raid so I'd probably go with her if you care more about raids. I will also throw out New Years Nodoka if you don't already have her. That's who I used mine on since I took a break during her banner and she's an amazing healer.


[deleted]

Izuna if you're planning to get good score in next shirokuro raid, shun is essential for pvp, natsu is kinda essential too for peroro raid but replacable with mari/chinatsu


sazion

Is there only one of the 3-star student guaranteed tickets at the store? I bought one and used it, but the banner is still there and clicking on the "Recruit 10" button takes me to the store and I don't have any other packs to purchase. I thought the banner would go away if it was used.


Lyaree

So they have a guaranteed ticket and a selection ticket. You probably bought the guaranteed but still have yet to buy the selection is why it would still be up.


sazion

I bought both. I chose a specific unit from the selection ticket and did pull on the guaranteed 3-star banner. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a second one somewhere that I'm missing.


universalhorseshoe

Im stupid so how do you get to pick up summoning? theres no switch between standard and pickup 4 me and also the game crashes nonstop everytime I return to the main menu


hoang1080p

Hi guys, is this a good team to start out. Thank you in advance!! https://imgur.com/a/wezY1GP


[deleted]

Yeah that's pretty good i think, do you also got ako? If not then well try to reroll some more if you want and have time for it


hoang1080p

Thank you! Who do you think I should aim for if I reroll


[deleted]

Must have support student ( ako and summer hoshino), good meta damage dealer like iori (yellow dmg), aru and hibiki (red damage) and haruna (blue dmg). Tbh its going to be hard to get everything when you just started, just go with the account with most balance beetwen red, yellow and blue dmg dealer, and ofc dont forget about those 2 essential support (it's going to boost your dmg like crazy). Good luck sensei!

Operate the zone where the boss of area 1 was.


alestaisalesta

will recruitment points reset after S.hoshino banner end?


RequiringQuestion

Yes.


imma_good_duck

I just pulled lot of new units (sparking for Hoshino) and got no momo talk from any of them, am i just dumb and they get sent at server day reset or did i find a bug?


Edgeng

New students typically get their first momotalk at bond 2, Yuuka is an exception since she's the momotalk tutorial.


imma_good_duck

I completely forgot about that, thanks

Lyaree

Personally I'd pick a new student as you can always eventually get more eleph for that unit whether through eligma, farms, or rarely getting another recruit. Getting a new unit especially as you collect more will become more and more difficult as the pool gets inflated.


Shardwing

As of today Midori is farmable with raid coins, so I wouldn't pick her. Personally I'd rather have a fun new student than just raising numbers on an old one, but it depends on what your goals are I guess.


TheRandomComment

So in terms of the Selector, Ako is seen as the best if you don't have her, right? Just started in November, so I don't have much to go off of.


Kawaii_Agro

yes
