Finished Rabbit squad story arc. Who was the cutest fox girl and why is it Otogi?

Im on area 21 and starting to feel the pain. The lack of any good blue damage dealers suck.
Obviously it's Niko, look at those floopy ears!

I do respect Otogi for pulling a Gold Ship and having ear muffs and animals ears.

Yeah the game has a loading screen that says Special Students' stats will buff Dealer Student's stats.
Thanks, that's not a lot but nice to have.
 
Just in case someone is still out of the loop:

Event Recap has several "welfare characters" and at least Junko (New Year) and Swimsuit Hasumi are Mystic dealers. Latter is especially powerful because the original event had some kind of bug or other controversy that resulted in players 5-starring her and this is replicated (other recap characters are given as 1* with enough mats for 2* upgrade.)

Other thing to know about Event Recap: there's more than a dozen "guide tasks" that have to be manually claimed and this is time-gated for once a day. If the Event Recap widget in the main lobby has a red dot, go free extras including Pyroxenes.
 
Purple armor needs sonic, huh? Shit .. thankfully I have some Sonic dealers, but I don't have a sonic tank.
If you're using a pure tank like Tsubaki, Natsu, Eimi, Hoshino, Yuuka etc. you don't need to worry about matching their attack color, their damage is abysmal even when you do. Pure tanks are there to just tank, it'd only be a waste if you use a pseudo-tank.

Question, is there a point in attack items for special students that only heal?
Yes, strikers inherit 10% HP and ATK from specials, and healer specials usually have footwear as their ATK gear item which focuses on buffing ATK and HP. In case you're wondering iirc other stats get inherited from specials at 5%.

You can use purples as well, since they do 150% dmg to blue armor. Swimsuit Hanako is a no brainer when it comes to mobbing but Momiji is good as well, Momiji is completely geared to buffing her own ATK and already has a naturally high ATK stat, especially once she gets to 3* and her AoE EX skill can do ST levels of damage. Momiji's weakness is that as a rocket launcher unit her rate of fire is abysmal so she's a bad auto-attacker.
 
By the way I managed to scrape together 200 pulls and spark NY Fuuka right before her banner ended. Gone are the days of having to borrow her and missing out on important striker units, especially because next raid is Hovercraft... 🙏
 
Slightly unrelated but BA does the redeemable villain trope better than 90% of other media. Most of the "evil" students aren't evil for the sake of it, but are just misguided teens/early adults that are so deep into their convictions that they don't see a way out, and it's the Sensei's duty to show them that there is a chance for them to right their wrongs.

During Five Dusts Fall, Sensei tells Shintani Kai that even after what she's done, he will still treat her as one of his struggling students that needs the help of a responsible adult.

Rio was half right as she found out what Aris is but not who she is. Thanks entirely in part to the Gaming club and Sensei finding her before anyone else did. And "teaching" her to be a protector instead of a destroyer.[/COLOR]
Rio also would have been correct in her assessment of what & who Aris is in the dark timeline, so we have to thank a certain someone for getting her addicted to videogames...

Was the NY banner a single week? That's blazingly fast. New banner units look pretty bad (ability wise, I like the designs).

It helps they are all young and retarded, plus no one dies. Rio was right though, but was too autistic to think of a compromise.

I like that characters grow but never drop their faults. Hoshino still wants to do everything by herself, Rio still will try to save everyone at the cost of a single person.
And teaching her the gamer word and how to use it.

I assumed that Midori was more likely to use the gamer word.

I know I'm asking for a spoiler, but with the mention of "Dark Timeline", it peaked my curiosity. Is that, by chance, the one from the prologue before the GCS president (seems to) send Sensei back in time? It's very clear that everything has gone to shit, possibly because of her own choices, so that might be why she seems to have sent Sensei back in time and vanished herself?

Simple yes or no will do, I won't read anything more or click spoiler tags.

Also, I want to thank Arona-Chan for giving me this. 5x Haruka, 4x Serina and Serika? Thank you, Arona-Chan, that's just what I wanted.

"Dark Timeline" is an alternate timeline where that Sensei was prevented from helping the students. Normal Shiroko is also from another timeline separate from the one she is currently in and the dark timeline.
