Are commissions bad? Blue Archive Beginner Guide - How to start Blue Archive in 2024

[@RSRainstorm]

A few corrections to some of the misinfo I give in the video, thanks for your feedbacks: - First, you get the cafe upgrade item for clearing every 5th regular stage of an area that's a multiple of 3, not 4 (3-5 / 6-5 / 9-5 / 12-5 / etc). - At 15:58, for beginner, you can also get expert permits from daily and weekly missions. - At 4:23 The skill rotation is a bit misleading, because I was refering to when you use a full team. + For a full team with 6 students, you need 4 EX skills to rotate back. + With 5 students, you need 3. + And with 4 students, you only need 2 EX skills to rotate back.

[@Maityist]

I think if there are no other events to farm then 2x rate commissions are fine-- I feel like they should at least up the rates a little on purple notes to make it feel less scammy. 3x special rate up on commissions are 100% worth though.

[@RSRainstorm]

I just farm hard modes since if you play long enough, you may already had a good stock of exp reports so you don't need to farm when there is no double drop.

[@CrnaStrela]

What about credits? I find myself always be in drought even if I only bought 2 blue mats daily.

[@RSRainstorm]

@@CrnaStrela If you're just starting out, I guess you need to split between farming credits + commissions. Old players have lots of credits because we've already built a team for raids. Plus some events in the past also give like 100 ~ 150 mil credits I think. For those events, it's better to farm credits instead of buying out all items in the shop.

[@f4rensabri]

@@CrnaStrela my style is only farm on commissions based on how much you really need. I'm at level 56 and I never need to farm commissions, but if you are at much higher level like 70 and has many students to keep up, you will reach a point where you need more credits or reports to level up.

[@CrnaStrela]

@@RSRainstorm I've played for more than a year already but collecting 9 digit credits is still not possible for me 😭 I don't know if it's due to me immediately maxing good students I got or I'm missing something very obvious but credits just hate me.

Good video. Appreciate all your guides, you are a rare BA content creator who puts in all this effort for gameplay guides and gives solid advice. Totally understand your views on Torment. It is hard hard work even if you are a spender or veteran with many ue50 students. I wish there was someone who put up torment runs with some advice or commentary about it, but as you say it would take immense time and effort and you wouldn't be able to focus on much else.

[@EravielTachibana]

For me, the most important when there's no double rewards = Hard Stages. Gotta get those stars up fast. I only do commissions when there's double drop on it. And mostly doing credit farming because you can never have enough of those.

[@Midokuni]

Hello, Happy Holidays Would just like to drop my take on beginner gear that for DPS, the most important gear is the 1st slot while the 3rd slot is nigh useless. this is mainly because if someone is a beginner they would either not crit reset at all or any crit will kill regardless of cdmg boost. the watch is only impacting students with a lot of hits that would average well. I sent this comment while still watching

[@Midokuni]

The skill rotation part is also misleading at 4 students you only need 2 EX skills to rotate back at 5 students, it needs 3 it is only at 6 students that it needs 4 (3 students and below you can just use whatever you want)

[@Midokuni]

Cafe upgrade is clearing every 5th regular stage of an area that's a multiple of 3, not 4 (3-5 / 6-5 / 9-5 / 12-5 / etc)

[@Midokuni]

Also just want to add info regarding auto craft - it is bad because if the selected node isn't an option, it will pick a node randomly.

Ok finished watching and I think unless i missed anything that should be all from me.

[@quincyantares6103]

I never have an issue with lack of XP when I worked my way up to lvl 85, you can always have enough XP in events. As I reached the endgame content I realized the biggest issue is always lacks of credits, since you need constantly heavy invest your student especially if you wanted to keep platinum in raids or consistently getting top 10 in pvp, not to mention always getting new student in the future.

[@RSRainstorm]

Top 10 pvp is like uh... the resources you spend in PVP is not linear with your team performances there XD. For PVP I mostly invest into tanks.

[@moderndayvampire1469]

Yeah, PvP is more to pick your matchups well. Know the opponents lineup and know which of your students can counter them.

[@nellzdablackking]

As far as getting new students, might I suggest using the currency you get from the other modes to at least get the girls you haven't pulled in the shops. I just recently bought all the elephs I needed to unlock Mimori, and granted it took me a couple of months since I had to wait for the shop to reset, but still at the end of the day, a new student is a new student.

[@ericquiabazza2608]

Cool guide. And as someone who started with little knowledge 3 days ago must say: Redo the first part. Especialy from level 20 and up, as it seems you kinda skip to level 60 then max. Why? Because 20 is the level clif, when you AP is NOT ENOUGH to get easy level up, for example lvl 25 is 110~ AP with around 300 xp needed. AND charcater Level is TIED to profile level. This not only HARD stops your grind, but also your resource collection, because: You mostly already got equipment from items and XP notes you are good, but level 20-30 or mission 4-1 onward, the one giving BLUEPRINTS, so is the next step BUT as you see your level ups go slower so does your grind. Another issue are events for the same reasons: Summer events for example has story up to level 20, then quest 20-50, and challenges 50 onward (with extra archivement doing this all super fast, so 60 and up) And i am just stuck in quest 4-6 because the level recomendation goes 20, 25, 30, 40. I CANT even finish the 40 one (30 got done with 3 stars) And concidering the events are just 1 week, is VERY dificult to reach the level required (40 and up) to get ALL rewards. Rest of content dosnt have time limit so is more grindable, but in weekly bases Also, PVP isnt unlock for me yet, so have to use some currency for AP, you may think is a waste, but already have 20+ students, 6k save and getting archivement and challenges left and right giving 20-40 currency, so espending 100 currency on 300+ AP (around 1 level) isnt so bad as also increments the character level cap and allow to go a little further in content. Heard february banner are Important, so been saving currency.

[@RSRainstorm]

Yeah for events, just farm whatever stages you can when you're starting. May I ask what you want to know from level 20 to 60? For me back then, I started 1 month late. So in the first day I spent 3 hours to get as far as I can, then stop because I can't beat a certain stage. The next day, I have more AP, so I just farm equipments and continue this cycle till I reach max level.

[@ericquiabazza2608]

No. By mistake erase the previous comment, was way to long to rewrite it, sorry.

[@Nauskills]

When I farm Hard Missions all I ever get in terms of Activity Reports are a few grey ones, meanwhile I get orange and purple Activity Reports on lvl 12 Commissions. If there's no other ongoing events i want to spend AP on, and there's a X2 they're definitely worth it imo

[@RSRainstorm]

Well the main point of farming hard maps are the student's eleph only. So x2 event should always be prioritized.

[@RSRainstorm]

You don't need to care about 3 star the normal stages at all when you're just starting the game. You can always come back to clear them later. Trying to get all 3 star in your first run when you're low level is hard because you may not have the equipments to do so. But for the farming stage, using 10-1 or 7-1, you need to 3 star them in order to sweep and farm equipments. Once you get T4 equip, you'll see the difference in your team damage.

I'm of the mind that there is no way to waste AP in this game, but there's usually a _much_ better use of AP available on average than doing commissions. Unless there's double rewards, you'd probably be better served off early on farming equipment tiers, the current event if there is one, or hard missions to unlock and mystic students. It's very easy to keep your student roster at your level up until around level 50, and cash is normally abundant.

[@RSRainstorm]

Yeah, only farm commissions during double drop. I guess you're a new player since "cash is normally abundant" XD. From 50 to 85 you'll need a lot more exp reports and credits btw.

[@suprtroopr1028]

@@RSRainstorm if cash _is_ proving to be a problem, grinding missions for cafe ranking is a high priority. Boosting that hourly income of ap and credits makes all the difference. Student assistants in the friends tab is also just free credits. If you're like me, and actually enjoy it, trying for higher ranks in tactical challenges is a fairly decent way to pick up free ap and cash. Outside of that, the events and total assault alone drown you in millions themselves. A million in and of itself satisfies low rank costs pretty cleanly.

Hello Mr. Rainstorm, a new sensei here! I just downloaded BA yesternight, and I'm not sure what to do with my Pyroxene. Should I pull to get Tsubaki and the black neko girl (I dont have them), or should I save up for the next banner? I don't wanna reroll though since I got Iori, which is apparently good. Also, one last question. I've seen in one of the comments that I should refresh 3x a day? Is that good for f2p? I hope you see this! Thank you in advance!

[@RSRainstorm]

- Should you reroll? Well it depends on whether you want to play casually or try hard in the future. Rerolling right now will help you save 24k pyroxenes or more when you decide to roll for their banners again in the future. If you just want to play casually and enjoy the story, then there is no need to. Iori will help you progress through early mission stages much faster. - Assuming you are in top 100 pvp, you earn 30 pyroxene there + 20 from daily missions. So you're earning 50 pyroxene daily (Not counting other sources of pyroxene income). So if you refresh 3x a day, which is around 90 pyroxene. You're only losing 90 - 50 = 40 pyroxene a day. Multiply that for 30 days and you're losing 1200 pyroxene a month. Which is around 10 pulls. - You often gain back ~1200 pyroxene from Grand Assault or Total Assault every 2 weeks. So it's up to you if you want to refresh x3 to speed up your early game progress. I refresh x3 as well when there are good events to farm.

[@marcodomingo3542]

@@RSRainstorm I see! I'll opt for your advice to not reroll. Right now I don't really know what character I want, so I'll just use Iori.

If you want to progress fast then 3x refresh is good enough. You earn 20 pyroxenes from daily missions, so if we don't count other sources of pyroxene incomes. You're just losing 30x70 = 2100 pyroxenes a month. Usually you get that back within 2 Total Assault. Next week there are events and 3x drop as well.

[@RSRainstorm]

- I assume you're asking that because Yuuka dies too fast. Well she's like that in early game. Yuuka is a tank, but she can only tank once you get her tier 2 unique item + T7 badge, so it's better to use Tsubaki, Hoshino or Haruka. - Both Saya + S.Wakamo has really high cost, plus S.Wakamo skill only hit 1 enemy, so she'll have trouble fighting against a group of enemies. You can use Akari/Mutsuki for early game. - If possible, replace Ayane with Serina since her EX skill only cost 2 and she can heal students passively every 35s. - Try to use students with 2 ~ 4 plus only 1 or 2 students with 5 cost skills to cycle skill faster.

Is exp really only one per energy spent always? Cause I'm only level 39 and I already need to spend 1346 just to level up once... Seems like it would take an insanely long time to get to max level like this, even if I spent all my energy every day...

[@RSRainstorm]

Yes, it's one exp per one energy. But there is a double exp event this week, so you can save your AP in your cafe on Friday afternoon to level up faster on the weekends.

[@GabrylMD]

I personally think that starting out, you should probably begin with commissions. Because they will help you transfer to farming harder Hard stages/Normal Stages for both equip materials and elephs. Which hold a lot more value once you have a decent squad of 3. After you are able to clear all the missions, I don’t think it’s worth it to do commissions. Mostly because you’ll want to focus on building up other aspects of the characters, like their skills and equipment.

[@RSRainstorm]

The early commission stages are not that efficient so it's better to buy from the event shop instead. Total Assault shop is still the most consistent way to level up student's skills anyway, so you still need to farm commissions to build multiple teams and clear all Insane bosses at least. But I guess it depends on whether you play casually or not?

I've reached level stage 11-4, which is for level 60+ enemies but i was level 41 that time so i made that idea on how fair and far i can go and find out i can beat enemies with a level 20 higher than me. I also did hard mode too and all 3 stars as well and normal too. (Warning: it depends if you have a good team of Armour piercing type / special attack type students when you reach stage 8) So the reason I'm doing it is to grind tier 4 items around level 55 - 60 hahaha while I'm at level 43 now muwahahaha You also need a good perception of timing your students to combo the skills so that they won't die quick and you need a healer too i mean for me it didn't take that long to reach stage 11-4 i started at stage 6 and went in stage 11-4 None of my characters died *_I played the game on January 11 so now it's January 26 so yeah playing the game for 15 days i did not watch any guides but i did not expect ive been doing what blue archive yt guiders doing even though im just doing whats obvious in the game😅_* *_but i learned a lesson here a bit about something I'm not familiar with_*

[@Fortune0409]

Mostly unrelated to the video, but if I've neglected it build Aru, is Mutsuki a good enough replacement for red armour binah?

[@RSRainstorm]

Uh no, Mutsuki can't trigger her normal skill in Binah, irrc? So she lost like half of her damage.

[@CrnaStrela]

Yeah, learnt that the hard way during false sanctum tower battle. Mutsuki would not use her mine against enemies that is on impassable terrain like Binah and Peroro. She would spawn her mines when mini peroro spawn but otherwise she would do nothing. So Mutsuki is not a good replacement unfortunately. You can try borrowing friend/club one of them ought to have well built Aru.

[@swag9374]

Binah isn't treated "on the field" similar to Hod. The mines will not spawn on top of Binah and will be on the edge of the cliff area. So she's not gonna be very effective since that's majority of her DPS gone.

[@paulbilotta7055]

The equipment on the left has higher drop rate… WHAAAAT I’ve been playing since it released and I didn’t know that, good lord.

[@RSRainstorm]

Yeah, luckily I play with some experienced players in my early days, otherwise I would be in the same shoe as you.

[@xeint1445]

Well probably for endgame players yeah probably farming commision isn't needed I'm actually spamming hard now even with 2x commision bonus (sitting at 400 million credits and tons of reports) probably because I also farm event alot Thanks for your guide as always and can understand your view of torments me also unlikely will touch torment for along time since I feel those difficulty only for really dedicated players

[@RSRainstorm]

Well you only need resources if you plan to do Torment. Because from some bosses unless you're willing to spend eligmas, you'll need to run more teams. More teams = more resources.

[@prechaponwongrawang3265]

Reminds me my first month during global launch... I kept rerolling for a week until I got Iori, Haruna, Hoshino, Tsubaki, Hibiki, and Serina. Slowly made my way to top 100 back then. Reaching Max Level was the first priority back then. 😂😂😂😂

I gave up and settle with Iori + Shun, then waste 48k just to get Azusa and Hibiki since I got them from offrates later. 😂

There should be triple drop during every 2.5 or 3 years anniversary I think, irrc?

[@MALICEM12]

[@RSRainstorm]

The drop rate isn't that good, but you need them anyway, so farm them during double drop.

[@andododo]

No way, we are bracketmates on pvp. I think doing credits commissions on 2x is fine even if you're an endgame player. Torment drained me so much, I'm farming credits now. 😭 But yeah, hard stages is the way if you're stacked up with credits or xp reports.

[@RSRainstorm]

Torment actually burn credits very easily if you run more than 2 teams.

i wouldn't care about "going fast" if not for the Hieronymus in V3-C3...

Did Hieronymus stop you from enjoying the story? If you are familiar with the game, you can clear it as early as lv37. Otherwise, just farm a few more levels + equipments. The good thing about going fast is you can slack whenever you like XD

I am not sure what you mean by super boring grindy? But you can just play this game just to enjoy the story? If you have experience in farming game or good at managing your spendings then you should be good. Remember to always have 200 pulls if you're trying to get a new cute girl, unless you want to test your luck.

@@TheRealAstro_ In early game, it's fast since you have lots of stages to clear. 200 pulls are 24000 pyroxenes (200*120 pyroxenes per pull).
