[Blue Archive] 3rd Anniversary Livestream Summarized

[@raveelemental4928]

It's fuckin insane how they just created a whole new mechanic of students having "combo" EX skills with other students, there's so much potential for more cool interactions to be had. The future of BA is looking bright (even if Rio's not playable yet)

[@denden6316]

And with bond gear they can retrofit older squads such as RABBIT, Squad, and the ninjutsu gang, pls it would be so fun

[@weaboo101]

Srt squad combination may sound badass

[@dwianggaraputra]

I guess they already tested bond skill by arius squad. Example Saori skills which depend on how many arius with her in team

[@andrehashimoto8056]

Lmao. These skills will amp the "Mandatory Gacha" pool massively. No doubt now, several "teams" will MANDATE having the Banner exclusive student to have even a modicum of meta capability for new content or rebalanced content. 40+ students are Banner exclusive, by now these MF'ers should have ALREADY put HALF of those in the common Pool to let the non Whales a chance at getting said students. In comparison: Nikke only keeps the Banner unit as exclusive for two weeks past the Banner period, then it is added to the common Pool. Project Neural Cloud, so far on CN side, they have ONLY THREE UNITS NEVER ADDED TO THE COMMON POOL, but they all timed with MASSIVE EVENTS, with several Tickets for pulls acquirable on event shop, and had large time gap between releases, so F2Ps could plan how they would save enough to have at least enough to guarantee spark while still being able to pull for other waifu units inbetween. 40+ still banner locked units. And the alternstives are mere month drip feed of the rarity uograde material, that in a pinch can be accumulated to get the unit. Very crap tbh.

[@theasianthatsbetterthanyou8324]

@@andrehashimoto8056 Only Ibuki and Iroha have this combined EX skill. Iroha is in the regular pool and Ibuki is completely free. You get 12k+ gems per month so no problem rolling for banners. Unless you're trying to collect everyone, which in that case why try to collect everyone if you're not a whale lmao that's completely unrealistic in any live service game.

[@sakei-kun3090]

Hina in a dress is beautiful and deserves all the love in the world, just seeing that smile in the stream cured all my mental illnesses 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Ferrolune]

true, Hina's smile is the most priceless thing.

[@cretk]

true

[@drakron]

This game is more and more ... Hina Archive.

[@Not_MissHina]

Now I'm gonna *WAIT FASTER*

[@Yamato-tp2kf]

Yes... Her smile sent me to heaven... I died of seeing that cuteness... It was too much for me...❤❤❤

[@Nakashi555]

Ibuki is too cute. Been wondering about her ever since she appears on the title loading screen.

[@Flaris]

Credit to them for realizing that the greatest weapon of all is Hina’s pure smile!

[@pzarrow9526]

Hina(Dress) immune to Taunt will be very useful for Kaiten. I hate the green ranger taunting everyone and stops us from activating skills(or even cancelling them).

[@kyawthant7004]

That's the point of stating she cannot be interrupted by taunt. Otherwise, no one will use her in Kaiten.

[@okfamssmok9043]

Wrong, its red kaiten ranger that taunts you.

[@pzarrow9526]

Oh lmao, I kept looking at Green and forgot Red and Green has the same timing when casting their skills so I thought Green silences us with her attack.

[@naeangold]

Hey, its the Red Kaiten. Green is the one shower you with MG.

[@thanhan7879]

Kaiten red Goooo

[@noonewillknow5047]

My god, just when I thought the game couldn't get any better.

[@butteredsalmonella]

OCherino has Bond Gear. SHifumi has Bond Gear. What does Iroha get? IBUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@rachmatzulfiqar]

Turns out the unique gear is the friends she's made along the way

[@eejinsan]

more like, II BUKI, nice weapon . . sorry my pun is bad

[@snaz15]

The poison was already strong and yet they still buffed her with ibuki, also giving her a unique gear would be a bad idea since she's already way too strong lol

[@r3dsilver11]

Iroha: Seems fair to me.

[@BrummersArt]

Thanks a ton for the summary, can't wait for this to hit global

[@vollied4865]

New daughter acquired Light Yagami as a girl is finally playable Ako looking like a buffet Hiniature looking even more adorable 5th PV is basically ambiguous as shit cuz we are only half way through 4.5 cuz of this slow year. But Arius summer confirmed, and gehenna meets Japan event confirmed And kazusa and friends are making a band.

[@MALICEM12]

The Axis powers are meeting again, yay!

[@HaxeRain]

i mean, with the release o vol 1 prologue, we will be done with 4.5 PV, and 5th PV is pretty much same vibe as 1st anniversary one, just one to relax and look back at a more happier vibe than say 4th PV which still is best PV

[@alkuholiker]

I only started playing like 5 months ago but holy damn the stuff they release is incredible. Never thought a Gacha Game has this much potential.

[@vordfur]

Honestly man, this is my first gacha i really got into and i have not regretted it since, so many awesome things dropping

[@kurokishi3486]

U guys should try Nikke , better gameplay hotter waifu

[@alkuholiker]

@@vordfur Same, I used to be a die hard Azur Lane Player but what Blue Archive is doing is on another level

[@MyBigCat-i6w]

I started one year after first global release and the reason was similar to yours, didn’t expect it to be this good. I wish I could start from the very beginning. One year delay makes it quite difficult to catch up but now I think I’m generally satisfied with my performance in game.

[@alkuholiker]

@@MyBigCat-i6w Yeah it is hard especially when you miss most of the Limited Banners, but luckily they do reruns.

[@gabrielleurielle8869]

Hina keeps getting younger... Finally, Iroha's partner appears as a playable character. 😂😂😂😂

the bounces on Ako is definitely something

[@reg.kyev7]

The fact that you will be able to change Loading screen is a great plus. Devs really knows what community wants.

[@peternguyen7530]

Iroha being a big sister to Ibuki on a tank is just adorable. ☺

[@PinkyYTOfficial]

Me who watched both of the stream and still came here cuz its valiant

[@vitoaleccia8475]

Thanks Valiant for this videos, you really help us out ❤

[@vraska8799]

I'm so happy with Makoto. She's exactly how i magined her to be. I'll get her for sure.

[@Kenshipain]

This is why i love Blue Archive being so great with Nexon/Yostar providing the community with awesome content and rewards 😭😭

[@kayronfaithbringer1613]

Ibuki : buff in area Ibuki + iroha : megazord, assemble! (?) deals AoE dmg Makoto : damage in a circle, the lore the merrier Ako: dmg buff, stacks( like Kokona with crits) to deal additional dmg to 1 enemy depending on how much stacks she has Hina: Jhin Ultimate (League of Legends) I think that's all

[@diaaxd]

Bro the amount of contact it's crazy, Im so very hyped!

[@dreadchris290]

Hina looks so beautiful in that dress I love it ❤❤. 100% MUST ROLL

[@odysseus9797]

On field Ako finally, and she is gorgeous!

[@thatsbruh5534]

That is it, I'm saving for all of them

[@MALICEM12]

The combo Ex is so cool! Perfect for little adorable Ibuki because shes the Mascot! 😍 Also Final Gehenna gets a mission Guide, ive needed those damn reports and tech note dumps for a while

[@maroXUprising]

As a Gehenna enjoyer, this is a big W for me. Ako greatly activates all my neurons. I am not gonna pull out. Ako prepare for intense breaking 🛏 action 😭😭😭

[@Akaneblaze1345]

Actually I very much like ako aswell I just never got her original Version last year but seeing her dress version come OUT? 👀😮😱 dude I'm like man the long wait 😑

[@maroXUprising]

@@Akaneblaze1345 Always nice to see some Ako enjoyers here and there. The wait is honestly going to be tough one that’s for sure, I stayed playing BA past the launch month of global servers for the sole purpose of getting Ako when her pick-up banner would finally show up on global. Of course I am still playing BA, and I still put Ako as my #1 favorite character above all others, even though my bond ranking level for her is still lvl 20 whereas about half of the roster that I currently have are maxed 5* and lvl 25-30 bond ranking. Anyways, man…My eyes have been blessed these past weeks seeing so many Ako fan art, before her dress version was announced…I felt like nobody was drawing her except for the few Ako enjoyers out there. Imo, she deserved the spotlight for once, All I’m saying is she doesn’t seem to get that much appreciation in the community compared to the obvious fan favorite characters in the entire game… any ways even though she’s helped out so many sensei’s dealing with all of the T.A bosses and such, with how helpful she is as a support unit. Whooo. Now that I got that out of my chest, in short, love this adorable yet troublesome senior administrator of the prefect team. Ako is cute and stunning in her alternate version.

Great summary thank you. Nice to know the kits in a little more detail but most of all about those QoL.

[@Akaishu294]

HINAAAA BE THE MOTHER OF MY KIDS😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@icohirosensei]

Finally, a lore accurate Hina in terms of strength. Devs heard us Hina bro's prayers. She'll be UE50 on day one for me when her banner landed on global. (╥﹏╥)

[@djmeowth]

I never thought I'd love a gacha, but Blue Archive pulled it off.

[@Kagetora-]

It's a really good gacha game and the devs are generous.

[@cavalryenjoyer]

These guys really know their audience huh. On a side note, I wonder if Ibuki will make Iroha's tank have permanent duration.

[@gespy796]

Iroha still disappears even with Ibuki so you still have to plan the skill sequence

[@forslos8756]

The tank still have the same duration, and iibuki come out from the tank after expired or tank die. You can see it in this video around 6:17

[@rozert890]

IBUKIIIIIII MY SWEET CHILD I WAITED FOR SO LONG! TIME TO DRINK TEA AND DRAW SOME CUTE PICTURES TOGETHER WITH IROHA

[@VodkaVodoka]

Good stuff. Pretty much nothing that I expected, except for T9 gear, new stage and higher level cap, but those were obvious. Only thing I'm kind of meh on is Makoto. I would've been completely fine with her never becoming playable, but maybe she can redeem herself. To me at least all the surprising stuff is really cool, but I'm really looking forward to what they'll do with the chibi roaming and character linking in the future. All the teaser images in the PV were also really nice. Hopefully those events will actually make it into the game, looking forward to Trinity School Festival and Gehenna visiting Hyakkiyako.

[@dedcet634]

shiroko, the blue archive was friends we made along the way

[@happymuffin2673]

Makoto being a BACK unit makes me sad.... I wanted her to be in the frontline. T.T

[@irwanirwan5389]

At last non-alter student as limited. Makoto in dress looks great tho. Thanks for the vid..

[@dennisdustin6895]

Nagisa and Toki comes to mind

[@DeusExDraconian]

The huge thing about the Hina Dress EX is that it ignores stability. She always does max damage with it. This makes her Red Mika.

[@icohirosensei]

I deleted my recent comment but just wanna clarify if it also ignores accuracy modifiers along with stability? SherlockPlay have that on Hina's skill description. That'll be a broken skill on PvP if ever unless she got CCed.

[@octopusoup]

The devs really know how to pull out all stops
