[Blue Archive] Is it worth to pull Noa and Utaha (Cheer Squad)

[@ningensan8198]

Welcome back! Things got a bit quieter without your videos

[@DeusExDraconian]

It's better to save for Gym Mari unless you missed out on S.Izuna. You'll want 24k for when Himari comes along and if you don't want to break open your checkbook for when Mika not long after. Especially Mika. Since at long last Iori is dethroned as the queen of DPS with her arrival and you do not want to miss out since she is only a 1 week limited banner.

[@haqiyoo]

Is Mika coming anytime soon? I’m also waiting for Ako’s banner, which the banner roadmap banner shows coming next month

[@kevinlee6398]

himari work well at 3* right? dont want to spend so much since we have few limited banner b4 mika

[@Uwuharu]

@@kevinlee6398 she gives almost +100% attack for one student. Also she can increase cost recovery

[@vollied4865]

​@@haqiyoo 2-4 weeks

[@Don_Akane89]

​@@haqiyoo some say we should wait for NY Fuuka instead of Ako, since iirc she does the same thing + halve skill cost of the target student. Having both is ideal naturally, but if i can only choose one id go for the limited student. Ako might spook on off rate in the meanwhile. EDIT: Apparently she does not heal however. Instead, she provides shield as her basic skill based on her healing to the party member with the lowest HP remaining. Her EX skill is very cheap in cost though at only 3, and gets reduced to 2 at max level.

Remember about "waifu > meta" If you want to ACTUALLY get these students that has been mentioned, go for it if you want to take the consequence. I would personally pulled Noa even if it's cost 200 pulls and she barely make any impact in my team. Because I'm worry I will becoming bored to play BA by the time Mika banner finally released. Skipping T. Yuuka should be fine for me, but I will eventually trying to get Ako and Himari later. (Update: I got Noa on my 130 pulls. I also got Koharu, Ui, Utaha (Cheerleader), and 3 other students. Not bad actually!)

[@TerraTheWise]

Yes everyone knows this already. The whole point of this video is to examine their usability from a meta standpoint and if it’s worth pulling for them based on that.

[@licuiss]

Wow Sub español. Thanks for the explanation and I really noticed that I had the youtube subs active and I saw that I could place the subs in Spanish, this seems very cool to me since my English is bad and this makes it much easier for me.

Noa is kinda needed for non SIzuna havers in GOZ, or just request her in your guild IG. But pulling in a perma banner kinda seems yikes with all the great banners coming up pretty soon. ... But I also really want Noa ;;

[@zohairjafar383]

Goz comes before Mika banner

[@alvinhow7996]

I think Summer Shizuko works well as an alternate depends on your team rotation priories

[@aldyzero6676]

Utaha (CS) is basically like Izuna, spamming their basic skill every 6th atk (but this Utaha need to use her EX skill first). Noa EX cost 3 for more DEF shred and 10-22 seconds (enchanced skill) longer than Akane is quite good. But yeah....gomen Noa and gomen Utaha cs...i have to skip you two because i already have Akane, Arisu, Wakamo at 5★

[@RedArchive1]

Same

[@sekai2240]

noa is useless no matter which piece of the pie you slice. her focus fire is the only relevant thing in her kit and only for a single raid, which she is still useless on (goz has a paltry 100 def, compared to 5000 crit dmg res) s.izuna is way better than her, costs less, and has extra dmg. she really is a “last chance if you don’t have s.izuna” but in a club of 30 people that should be your last issue. her being a 3* version of akane is actually a downside, since the fancy debuff extension increases her cost by 1 to akane and matters not since akane is barely used even in binah at this point. if anything you’d care less about longer debuff and more about lower ex cost, since akane’s sole purpose is to debuff and skill cycle. utaha cheer I have nothing to say about, she’s just a more wonky izuna, who is only really useful on shirokuro (with o.chinatsu). just don’t with her, if you really care then save for sakurako in 18 weeks since she is one of the top st blue dps on jp and even has focus fire. literally both of these banner characters put together and made 10x better. tldr both are mid, pull for waifu or skip for actually good students like himari, ny fuuka, mika, toki, etc

[@AnimaRandom]

​@@sekai2240 -tbh, i dont see sakurako as highly needed st since.. A.sk-kr indoor. Its t.hasumi territori, sk-kr urban, its nin nin B. In terms of Goz, having sakurako is an advantage due to additional damage and focus fire. But replaceable if you can make up the lost damage which is possible to do. And also, nykayako kinda killed sakurako's potential use in the future since her buff is enough to make up the lost damage from removing her in goz. Yeah..overall, optional rn despite being the "best st"

[@sekai2240]

@@AnimaRandom well, sure, but the point was that she is just both banner characters put together and made more useful. izuna and sports hasumi are most decidedly NOT noa or utaha cheer.

@@BoneBeastKimimaro It gets much better once you reach max level _(current max on Global is level 80 ; edit: dammit, raised to 85 just now)_ on your account: you get Expert Permits _(also known as Mastery Certificates)_ instead of XP points, then you can use these in the Shop for Equipment Ticket (up to T5), so you only need to grind for T6-T7 equipment. I would recommend buying the Orbs in the shop every day as you approach Max level: you'll soon consume all your orbs when upgrading your students with the new-found source of T1-5 equipment - and using over-stocked equipment items instead is really not cost effective. Get the Orbs, you'll need them.

[@PriscentSnow]

off topic here but should I get NYHaruna or NYFuuka? Ideally either one of them spooks me while I'm pulling for the other so I'll have both but I'd like to know what would be better for non-waifu reasons. Context is low spender extreme/insane raider to stay platinum

[@uberreaper7384]

Would be NYFuuka. She halves the cost of any ex skill one time for a cheap 2 cost and raises their crit damage, literally the best friend of a certain princess. NYFuuka, Himari, and Ako are the three best specialist to have. Can't say much about NYHaruna cause haven't seen her used in Hiero torment due to red armor problem and we'll have to wait for Kaiten torment

[@Keith_7]

To be honest idc about gameplay, I just want utaha she just have crazy development from being shy and quite student to being one of the best cheerleader in the event. Literally anime character development right there.

[@suchmouse]

Hibiki is the best cheerleader though 😊

[@Mitwad]

That's not development, that's just poor writing.

[@bit0016]

Nah, Utaha was never the "shy and quiet" type, but rather the "cool" type. Tho she's actually rather eccentric. The reason why she became what she is in this event is basically because she's so excited about the sport festival.

[@Mitwad]

@@bit0016 Normal Utaha is probably the most boring and bland character in the game. Doesn't help her art is also one of the worse if not the worst of all. Her eccentricity ends at "adding weird or useless things to inventions", which is shared by the other club members, that's why they had to give her a somewhat drastic change. Normal Hibiki actually doesn't go much further than Utaha but she does have her clothing thing going at least.

[@yilinjiang4270]

if you are a low spender or f2p, don't pull. You will get many of them when pulling from mika banner when 2nd year ani comes. Most of these new toons are for the new boss Goz, only sports Yuka is needed the most. With free maxed hatsumi in hand, there is no rush to get all of them right now, believe me, 2nd years ani mika banner is broken, save for that moment. P.S. 11 years old(healer for Hieronymus), wheel chair, new year Fuuka are the meta, highly recommend. Sports Yuka(must for Goz) , mari(second strong healer for Hieronymus, but you need swimsuit fox to force her stand beside the lamp to able to heal it), NY Haruna(final chapter event boss and waiting for new boss, probably for torment sushi rangers) is not meta, but should be pulled since they are limited. Now new torment difficulty needs you to have 3 to 4 teams to beat it and all of them should be able to clear insane by themselves. There new toons will likely be added to suit this purpose. For low spender and F2P, if you can, try invest in toons who can get you to finish insane with one team. Don't waste gems on toons that doesn't help you much and there's huge pay gap between insane and torment.

[@maroXUprising]

While you won’t be able to complete all of the stages due to your current level. You should still farm either way. Since the only way you can level up your account level is through using A.P. So complete as much stages as you can, and “sweep” all of the completed stages to get those currencies for the shop.

[@0133BlackMage]

Yeah, the only priority on low lvl is to level up your Cafe tbh (basically just to push normal stages) Other than that, farm whatever you want (hard stages for example, when there's no events around, or normal stages for higher tier gear)... Event shop sells a bunch of useful items (tech notes, Blu-rays), that's quite hard to obtain in bulk like this, might as well farm it, sure Also maybe Hibiki is not the greatest student, but you know, maybe you'll have some use for her while still low level (not for long however ig, don't invest too much)
