Ignoring the wording issue from your previous questions

third stupid question, did you take into account the "Cost reduction effects will only affect the base skill cost" -part of the EX skill description?
Click to expand...
Yes, I did accounted for that. even the game got updated to have a different indicator for when your unit with overcost RX has reached the maximum available cost, that being changing the EX cost number to be shiny yellow

And it took a while, but it seems that Nozomi (and every unit with overcost EX) doing a lot less damage was already notified, so I wasn't hallucinating about it... Interesting

Maybe when this bug gets fixed, I may push for floor 80, floor 99 even :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt:

Damn, I was wondering why it took me fucking ages to fill the groggy bar when a friend of mine who doesn't have Nozomi had barely any trouble doing it.

That bug is not actually how the groggy gauge is managed (it is the same as JP where, if you play with the gimmicks, you can groggy it up to 2 times the 1st one being during the fifth wave) but the fact that the effects of groggy don't work properly when you use Nozomi (the 100% damage bonus per groggy is not applied correctly). so your groggy bar filling issue is sadly skill issues

Wow this might be the first event in which iori appears but doesn't job

Just in case someone's too afraid to ask (although honestly they could just Google it...)

Jobber is a term for professional wrestler who frequently and/or deliberately loses matches.

Similar term for fiction is "Worf effect" where the eponymous tactical officer was supposed to be strong/badass, but writers ended up overusing "let's establish that X is really strong by having them beat Worf" to the point that he became almost a bit of a joke. Foreclosure Task Force arguably suffers something similar in the V1C3 when Hoshino wipes the floor with them, at least twice, seemingly without much trouble.

Went for more pity rolls and got Eimi and Tsurugi.

View attachment 7965904

Are they worth investing into? Was going for Ako but got 30 rolls away from spaking her. Should i go for it?

Eimi is a good self healing tanker and she can get used in some raids like hovercraft.
Tsurugi is for clearing yellow mobs, she was used last time in Chesed as well. Also she's a cinnamon roll.
I think you can buy both students' elephs in the JFD shop anyway so they have similar investment value. But since Eimi gets used more often than you think, invest in Eimi first.
Definitely spark for Ako even though she's mostly powercrept by Kisaki now

I'd say tsurugi is noticeably more useful for newer players because of her ability to just chew through the commissions which are a pain to get through without her

As for Ako being "made obsolete by Kisaki", it's not the most correct statement. Yes a lot of core DPSes like the dress aru/Rio/Kisaki stack but Rio isn't good with D.Hina and Kisaki doesn't work with Shiroko Terror so for those two you still want to run ako(or new year fuuka)+Kisaki or ako+himari respectively, so I'd say ako is still great and is a very high priority

Isnt this another pedo game like genshin?

Genshin Impact or not if it's got a tranime art style in it you know nonces are going to latch onto it. That's the unfortunate truth these days. Especially with Blue Archive because these are school aged girls we're talking about here.

I (emphasis on I) have not seen anyone here literally posting CSAM or saying they want to fuck the characters though, it's been just shitposting and actual game discussion from what I've seen. You can't post pornographic images site-wide anyway unless it's absolutely relevant to documenting a lolcow and even that has to go behind spoilers.

Hope to eventually get her through either a banner or choice ticket. At least Swimsuit Seia does the same thing as a Striker.

Btw are there any notable tanks or debuffers to use? I just slap Tsubaki on my team.

for general gameplay Yuuka, Tsubaki, sHosh are good tankers. Haruka is also a really good pure HP tanker that also has an (albeit small) AOE attack EX skill. Others like Eimi, Tsurugi, Tsukuyo etc have too specific use cases for regular gameplay, like said above Eimi is mainly used in raids and Tsurugi is for clearing up mobs and the XP commisions

For debuffers that get used a lot there's Mine, sShiroko, both pajama students, and Maki, CC counts as debuff as well so we also have Kayoko, Hifumi, Fubuki, cKotama, Chihiro, etc etc

When it comes to Eimi, choose either her or Haruka to invest in, as they are the easiest red armor pure tanks (notice I said armor and not damage) to upgrade their stars, Haruka with hard missions and Eimi with JTF coins. Eimi's upside is self-sustainment, Haruka's is the highest HP and DEF at max level. Both of their downsides is that they are in schools with lots of competition for materials.

Tsurugi is also easy to upgrade stars as she's another one who has her elephs in the JTF coin shop. She is a pseudo-tank that shines in Chesed, clearing XP Commissions and whenever they run the small robot yellow JFD. Roog has insane self-sustainment but she actually has to kill shit to get it. She also has niche usage in PvP for formation-breaking since she is one of the rare students whose Enhanced skill ups her movement speed and since she's a shotgunner she has the shortest range.

Ako is still absolutely worth it.

I meant more meta units. Seemingly no tankers can multirole as healers/buffers. And debuffing is less important in hypercarry unlike other games.

Hime-sama Atsuko is the tank/healer and is as such a staple in Hieronymous (all Arius girls were made for that raid to be fair) and Kurokage raid, can be useful in other content due to being a healer/striker so she frees up a special slot. She's also an evasion tank so she's decent in PvP tho there's much better options.

Arius is my favorite school, you'd want Saori and Atsuko for Hieronymus/ General usage. Misaki is one of my top 3 favorite characters, but unfortunately her and Hiyori aren't really that useful outside Hiero.

I wouldn't, it's a really tough sell to roll on non limited girls unless they're outright meta defining, especially when we're this close to bluefes

Hime-sama is my favorite Arius girl but goddamn, the banners that come a few weeks to a month after the Fest are ones I specifically want to roll on (Nagisa in the Toki/Nagisa limited banner and Bunny Neru in the Bunny Karin/Bunny Neru limited banner) so I'll skip the Arius banner and hope that I spook her in either the Fest or one of these banners.
