Band together with your fellow senseis to beat the shit outta Binah in a server-wide raid against it.

1768721690340.png
Beating an instances of binah (with several difficulty like usual total assault/grand assault) will let you collect it's core, allowing you to use support skills to aid you when you fighting it again and again.

Beat the shit outta Binah to farm stuff like blue ray disks, levelling up mats, and Toki welfare fragments.

When you get bored on fighting Binah (or waiting for the ticket to refresh, since you need 10 per fight/20 for torment), head to the lobby and let yourself go by playing past minigames! Also each time you progressed, the lobby will change!

Also part 3 on 29th

(my opinion of that story has evolved into "Blue Archive equivalent to Star Wars prequel trilogy" - solid themes and core narrative swamped in a less than ideal execution, gets much better in retrospect.

I had some friends that told me that Vol1Ch3 was intentionally sabotaged by Isakusan because he was about to jump ship to Dynamis One with all the assets he stole from Nexon to make "Red Archive".

- Welfare for the main story EX newest chapter will be Toki in her battle gear/snow parka

from MTL she seems like a Striker with healing capabilities. Might potentially be one of the better welfare students they've given out.

Is this Cafe furniture or just interactable in the lobby for the event? Would be really cool if I could play the Summer Tea Party Card minigame whenever I want to from the Cafe.

Interactable lobby for the event. Considering it's main story, it might be accessible permanently ala Volume F's thingie? So far they only showcasing the new students fighting Binah with new background thingie.

While at it, here's their EX skills cost:
- Arisu (Battle): 4 (4), same like Swimwear Mika
- Rio (Battle): 4
- Himari (Space Bike): 3
- Toki (Battle): 3
- Key: 2

(Same but with Toki and Rio's alt. Quadruple peace peace!)

When did you last hear of someone from Mondstadt in Genshin?
Click to expand...
Butting into this thread just to point out that mondstat being ignored since it's main plotline was over is wrong. It's constantly brought back up.

Mondstat characters keep showing up in other nations because of the knights/adventurers guild operating internationally, with the adventurers guild technically being founded in schneznaya despite most npcs both npc only and playable characters you run into associated with them. Timed plot events also happen around the mondstat area still on occasion. Mondstat's knights/adventurers and sumeru akademia people just keep showing up everywhere, and sumeru was like that before it was even a thing. People being mad sumeru's npcs weren't dark brown skin tone when it dropped were blatant fucking retards who didn't even play the game beyond base level because NPC-only sumeru akedimiya characters were all over the place and they were all light skinned as hell.

Fuck even nod-krai, a place that should be focusing more on the unique "meeting place of cultures" thing it's doing ends up focusing on the mondstat knights having a camp set up trying to deal with the abyss and fatui.
 
And the Blue Archive's 2-day 5th Anniversary festival is officially over.

Here's a very brief summary recap:

- Main Story Volume EX continuation!
The tale between the Millennium girls from Game Club, Rio, Himari, Toki and Eimi continues, with a three-parter story!
Part 1: 18th January
Part 2: 20th January
Part 3: 29th January

Toki (Battle) will be welfare for the event tied to the story.

- Limited Anniversary Banners
As usual, it will be separated between two types. The first one will have free 100 rolls without 6% rateup, and it will consists of
1. Rio (Battle) alt
2. Himari (Battle) alt

The second one is your standard "Bluefes" where your SSR chance is increased from 3% to 6%. It will consists of:
1. Arisu (Battle) alt
2. Key/Kay

All of them are Limited, and will not return or be added to normal gacha pool. There will also be rerun of Tactical Hoshino and Kuroko/Shirroko Adult if you don't have them for some reason.

- World Raid!
Beat the ever-living fuck outta Binah in a server-wide raid! Returning since uh... Volume F?, you and fellow senseis (JP for now, Global when it came up) must beat Binah and reduce its HP to progress the story! Beat that shit to gain materials for levelling students and fragments for Toki (Battle)

- Other stuff!
1. Arisu battle alt and Key is the first students with "Composite"/"Composition" Armor type! Composite/Composition and Decomposition is a brand new element that is marked by Turquoise/Teal/Dark Green. It will be something of a middle ground between Special/Blue and Elastic/Purple.
2. Some sort of Monthly pass thingie where you can get stuff daily after paying and log in to the game
3. JP finally getting PC client!

- Merch!
.... I don't really give much about it. But I hear Day 1 has Hasumi and Reijo-themed whey protein powder if you want to get swole while thinking about your cute and funny student and a Kisaki-themed ASMR.

And also standees and Key-related merch on day 2.

Mondstat is not really a good example since gacha tend to carry over the original first arc cast due to being a safe option that all players, including ones that didn't play for years, can still remember. Question is if it's the same with areas afterwards like the Thunder Islands.

Characters from other nations do tend to show up in others if they're alive and it makes sense. Inazuma and Natlan plot wise were cut off from the other nations before you go to them so there's none of them outside sparse inazumans that were out of there before the place got cut off like scaramouche if you played the game during one of the earlier timed plot events. Like I said earlier an example of other nation characters showing up other places is sumeru for the non-player NPCS because they're everywhere even before the place was in the game. When characters from other nations show up there's usually some reason behind it like some sort of festival or international investigation, or you find out there's some connection between pre-existing ones like the water boy in liyue being a writer under a pen name getting stuff published in inazuma under a pen name. So yeah the cast carries over more or less.

I don't really do gacha stuff but genshin gameplay wise and loreshit wise I do like. My big issue with genshin is the last year or 2 they've not been following through on a lot of things that clearlyw ere built up to be continued somehow and just kinda brush it aside last minute or they just speed through areas now. New nod-krai exploration was done in a few short hours but I'm still exploring and finding shit in prior nations even with most or all the quests done. Still waiting on followups to certain world quest plots in fontaine too lmao.

(Featuring probably the first time Yostar lost their control and showcasing actually horny memorial lobby).
Click to expand...
Yostar isn't the owner or creator of Blue Archive which is Nexon and MX Studio, as Yostar is one of the over sea publishers and animation studio. Secondly horny materials is Azur Lane's bread and butter since launch, and Yostar have been mostly hands off on that. Although Manjuu (Azur Lane) and Hypergryph (Arknights) both decided to not have Yostar as the publisher for Azur Promilia and Arknights: Enfield.

It wasn't just Vol1Ch3 that was intentionally sabotaged, but they found out too late undo the damage to Vol1Ch3. The other sabotaged story arcs were redone to fix them hence the long run of reruns and other unsabotaged minor story arcs.

I keep forgetting and I wrote it while the stream is happening, so I can just fix it for later while I focus on the screenshots.

While sure some Memorial Lobby's did show the students in enticing poses or manner, I will stand that this Rio is the one where they just, let loose, I guess.

At least Rio is the one character that looks in her late 20's at the very least.
