Blue Archive (Video Game)	comment	Blue Archive is a tactical RPG with gacha elements, developed by Korean studios Nexon Games (formerly NAT Games) & MX Studio, and published in Japan and China by Yostar Games and internationally by Nexon. It was first released in Japan on February 4th, 2021, with a full global release, covering multiple language version, on November 8th of the same year and in China on August 3rd, 2023.You awake as a "sensei", after seeing an unknown yet familiar girl in your dreams. You are tasked by the Vice President of the General Student Council of the sprawling academic city of Kivotos to find the GSC's missing president... who evidently foresaw your coming before her disappearance and established the Federal Investigation Club "Schale" for you to manage, and several tools you can use on your mission, most notably the strange tablet-PC-like device referred to as the "Shittim Chest" and its helpful AI companion, Arona. With this in hand, you begin recruiting students from Kivotos' many, many schools to aid you in helping restore normalcy to Kivotos generally, and along the way, hopefully, find a clue as to what happened to the GSC President... and what, precisely, she wanted you to do.Gameplay is done on an isometrically-viewed battlefield. You fight by using students you've recruited as units in a formation of 6, with 4 taking the lead and 2 acting as support. Students move, based on their classes and the ability to use cover, and attack automatically. The player, aside from arranging the party itself beforehand, triggers the girls' "EX Skills" based on the EX charge currently available and the skills available (three out of the selection of available girls being available at any one time).The animated adaptation of this game, "Blue Archive: The Animation" by Yostar Pictures and CANDYBOX, begin airing on 8 April 2024 on TV Tokyo, with Ani-One Asia broadcasting the episodes on Youtube.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_1045c71a	comment	Dying Town: Kivotos itself was in rather dire straits until Sensei arrives. Without the General Student Council President, the GSC is locked out of city's main control system and public services begin to break down with massive spikes in crime as a result. It's not until Sensei receives the Shittim Chest and reactivates the Sanctum Tower that things start to stabilize. The Abydos district, once the largest and most populous district in all of Kivotos, has been rendered into a Ghost Town thanks to rampant sandstorms and desertification burying most of the city under sand. What few residents and students are left cling on to the remaining habitable areas of the district even as the sand and Abydos' creditors steadily encroach on them.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_12c65d9b	comment	Abnormal Ammo: Maki shoots paint from her machine gun during her EX Skill. Izumi (Swimsuit) throws a coconut that ricochets to multiple enemies, dealing slightly less damage upon successful ricochets. That coconut also stuns enemies for a short time. Honorable mention goes to Hifumi, who throws just a Peroro plush against the enemy to damage one, in spite of having actual incendiary grenades. In-Universe, the Engineering Department of Millennium modded a gun to fire tabasco sauce because they often eat pizza and they thought it would be convenient to have a dispenser for the sauce. Only later did they realize it was Neru's weapon they should have repaired in the first place, thus they desperately try to prevent her from firing it. After The Reveal, Neru is obviously mad at them. At least the modifications enabled Neru to bypass bullet-proof gear used by a couple of gangsters trying to get back at her...

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_1667cb1	comment	Calvinball: "Mushiqueen", the trading card game Kaede and Pina love so much, is... bizarre. At first you'd assume it's just a straightforward parody of Kouchuu Ouja Mushiking, but watching people play quickly reveals that the game is a mess ranging from Un-set style nonsense like dancing around the table to power up your cards, to rules deliberately designed to emulate the over-the-top drama of card game anime over any kind of sensible balance. And apparently, being good at karuta improves your skills at it, somehow. Even in-universe, people who don't play it on the regular have no idea what's going on. Fittingly for the game's central theme of youth, it's effectively the infamous "playground Yu-Gi-Oh!" format, but treated as a serious game with major tournaments.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_1a237409	comment	Order Versus Chaos: The never-ending tensions between Trinity and Gehenna effectively take this form, even if some at Trinity would insist it's actually good against evil. Trinity is well-ordered, preaches harmony above all and is incontestably the preppiest school in Kivotos, but its bright and polite exterior hides massive amounts of political machinations, and students there can prove surprisingly nasty if their faÃ§ade cracks. In contrast, Gehenna is a complete mess that takes pride in freedom before anything else, for better or for worse. There is no school uniform whatsoever, it's the single biggest source of delinquents in the game, even their most harmless-sounding clubs have a penchant for mass destruction, and it's a running gag that there's maybe four or five people with functioning common sense in the entire school, but they shine in their honesty and dedication to what they truly value... even if that often quickly turns to mayhem.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_1c398324	comment	Mutsuki is another one: having a Basic Skill giving massive damage every 20 seconds is surely great, but it is set in a fixed distance from her. However, her attack range is noticeably greater than the mine deployment range. The solution is easy as it sounds and hard to implement at the same time: repositioning her closer to enemy might be quite a challenging task under certain external restrictions, but when using an external repositioning skill, you can set Mutsuki onto the specific spot which allows her Basic Skill to land its mines right on top of the enemy... but that means dedicating the entire slot for that student, which usually might be restrictive for team compositions. Another solution is to shorten her attack range, and currently, only Tomoe is capable of doing that: her EX Skill besides that also grants additional movement speed, crit chance and critical damage increment—yet this method is also restrictive for teambuilding while affecting everyone else in the EX Skill range as well, potentially leaving allies in a cramped position for enemy AOE skills to wipe them.

The squad consists of a no-nonsense self-appointed and eventually mutually approved leader, a hothead who works by the books of her training, a Shrinking Violet sniper who wishes she could turn off her social invisibility, and their Mission Control who has a thing for explosions. In the background, their seniors in the FOX Platoon move with their own agenda, and the GSCâ€™s Defense Office head likewise has her mysteriesâ€¦

In-story it allows them to call upon any student they want from the player's list of recruited students, and it's so alien that even Gematria required meta-cognition to comprehend its scope.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_1f799027	comment	Gehenna has the main rivalry between Pandemonium and the Prefect Team. Pandemonium considers Prefect Team to be a threat to their power, and does everything possible to limit their influence, while the Prefect team sees Pandemonium as Obstructive Bureaucrats who keep getting in the way of their mission to protect Gehenna. That's not even getting into the school's borderline rogue clubs like the Gourmet Research Society and Hot Springs Club, who cause all sorts of trouble while pursuing their own interests.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e	comment	In Chapter 4, they are constantly beaten down and humiliated by SRT without Sensei guiding them. And on Valentine's Day, Wakamo manages to escape from them multiple times. It got so bad that even students from other schools make fun of their inability to stop her and Kanna resorted to making a deal with Kaiser just to get some decent equipment for the force. Though to be fair to them, Valkyrie is constantly fighting against some serious heavyweights while being saddled with terrible circumstances (e.g. the disappearance of the General Student Council president which indirectly led to an extremely large increase in crimes without warning, lack of budget and manpower while also being saddled with obsolete gear, the removal of SRT who was supposed to be the ones to deal with said heavyweights instead of them). Events and character stories shows that they aren't that incompetent, it's shown when they aren't fighting against monstrous powerhouses like Wakamo, or the elite special forces like SRT, they are actually able to do their jobs pretty decently.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_2064626a	type	Villains Act, Heroes React
Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_2064626a	comment	Villains Act, Heroes React: This happens in every volume of the Main Story, where students guided by Sensei live out their peaceful daily lives (as peaceful as it gets in a city with guns and bulletproof people), only to be suddenly blindsided by whatever plot the villains have cooked up in the shadows. Even so, it's not the end for our heroes should the plans go off, so long as they have the determination to react. In Volume 1, Kaiser Corporation has been trying to take the Abydos district over the course of years, in the present attempting to subdue the holdouts in the Foreclosure Task Force through proxies, not helped by Gehenna attempting to kidnap Sensei at one point. It's when Hoshino is taken by Black Suit does Kaiser attempt a full invasion of the district, but after it was repelled, Sensei, the FTF, Handyman 68 and support from Trinity fight their way and rescue their president. In Volume 2, specifically Chapter 2, Aris is targeted for elimination by Seminar's president, Rio, for being a potential danger to all of Kivotos as the would-be leader of android army Divi:Sion. Though Sensei and the Game Development Department couldn't stop her from taking Aris, they and other clubs band together for a rescue, take down all of Rio's cards and even convince her that her ideals were wrong. In Volume 3, Chapters 1 through 3, the Make-Up Work Club has to power through whatever tricks Nagisa tries to expel the club full of what she considers suspected threats to the Eden Treaty, but the Club manages to foil an Arius plot to assassinate her, stop the real traitor, Mika, and change the paranoiac's views for the better. The time of the Eden Treaty, however, springs Arius's full plan to destroy it and spark war between Gehenna and Trinity, which might have worked were it not for students all over holding on in whatever ways they can until Sensei rallies the students to defeat Arius. In Volume F, Kaiser and Kaya (who is later backstabbed by Kaiser) work together to usurp the General Student Council, and would have imprisoned Sensei were it not for Kanna's rescue, later leading to the retaking of Schale HQ. But then the Color's forces takes that moment to invade all of Kivotos, dealing damage on a scale never seen before with little warning, even defeating Gematria. Still, Sensei and the students react as they have always done thus far, defending their city from the Color's minions, taking the fight to the skies, and ultimately stop the Color's invasion. In Volume 4, Chapter 2, after a series of deals with Kaiser and FOX Squad operating in the shadows, Kaya has successfully overthrown Rin as the acting president of the GSC, while RABBIT Squad has been convinced to side with their seniors. But after Kaya's mental breakdown leading to her ordering FOX to set off an explosion that could somehow restore order, and RABBIT having a reflection on their convictions, the juniors turn on their seniors, stop their plans, and depose Kaya. In Volume 5, the Nature's Beauty Club foil the upcoming festival and turn Yukari into a ghost story, having hamstrung Hyakkaryouran by transforming their president Ayame as well and demoralized Nagusa in the process from using a special rifle that could have exorcised their ghosts. It takes a heart-to-heart with Yukari and the other members, and Nagusa finding her resolve do they stop the incident from spiraling further.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3	comment	Ascended Glitch: In Insane difficulty, Kuro had a mechanic which deals 999,999 true damage to anyone that has a movement speed status ailment and is hit with an attraction ride. However, that included anyone that has the movement speed status ailment - including Kuro itself. The bug became a feature, but got balanced out - it deals 600,000 damage instead, which is still quite a solid amount. Players discovered that if Hatsune Miku's EX skill is used right before entering Chesed's boss room, the Striker party will be displayed lining up in front of the boss during the cutscene at the start of the fight. This has since become an official feature of the cutscene so the player can see their party during it without having Miku (though, unlike the bug's version, there is motion blur added), and several other raids since then have included cutscenes displaying the player's party standing off against the enemy.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Hina's EX Skill can wipe out an entire wave of enemies by itself, especially ones that are Explosive-vulnerable; Hina is infamous for being able to push stages and other multi-target content that is fifteen levels or more above her. But the skill is hampered by its absolutely absurd cost of 7 charges; by comparison, most students hover at around 3 or 4, and heavy AoEs are often 5. As a result, she is typically relegated to auto-attack duty while other girls cycle through EX skills - fortunately, the rest of her skills are quite suited for such a role, given sufficient investment. Her EX is only practical in content where there's some downtime to charge up (such as in main story mission content, or events with similar design), and even only kind of. Ayane's EX Skill heals multiple girls at once, with one of the highest values for multi-target heals in the game, but each individual student is still healed less than they would be by a single-target skill at the same level (e.g. Chinatsu's healing a better amount and, at higher levels, removing an ailment from the target). There's also a delay before it actually sets off as her drone flies in to drop a medkit over the targeted area, and it doesn't draw students into the area like e.g. Fuuka's skill, so it's quite easy to mistime it and have one or more of the girls move out of the way just as it's dropping. That said, if you land it right, it's probably the most efficient multi-target heals in the game outside of Koharu's Holy Hand Grenade. Kayoko has one of the game's few long-lasting "hard" crowd control abilities in her EX and normal skill both causing a fear effect (which makes an opponent run away and stop attacking). Nifty, and against certain bosses quite useful for keeping the damage under control, but her EX version costs 6, when many students have abilities that cost a lot less and can inflict the useful hard CC known as "passed out on the floor", especially on lower-health mooks. She's sadly considered one of the absolute worst units in the game, despite her character being widely liked (and her personal story is significantly more down-to-earth and relatable, compared to some of the romantically-charged ones). Nonomi likewise has a great ability for clearing crowds, with a wide range and decent power behind it, hampered by her tendency to hang out as far back as possible, leaving enemies in most encounters just out of her range unless you can force her to move forward with something like Fuuka's skill. Yuzu, despite being a shy gamer, has one of the highest critical damage rates of all students. Her enhanced and sub-skills allow her to boost her critical damage which is further boosted by her unique weapon and Ako's EX skill, making her useful for raids with higher difficulties. The problem is that her skills and UE need to be maxed out in order to see her full potential. As the first tactical support unit in the game, Hifumi (Swimsuit) summons a tank onto the battlefield with her EX skill. It's undoubtedly awesome to see her roll up to deal heavy amounts of sustained AOE damage, but its skill cost of 10 renders it unbelievably hard to use in normal rotations (remember that Hina is already hard to use at 7!) and leaves her lagging behind more conventional support options like Karin and Kotama. Following tactical support units have a significantly cheaper cost than her and show varying levels of success for it, with Cherino (Hot Springs) being a good unit hampered only by a lack of challenges to showcase her biggest strengths, Sena is a highly effective support buffer, and Iroha being a dominant force in PvP and the Perorodzilla raid. Ui in her swimsuit alt is this. Sure, she has skills which has effectiveness buff for piercing students, much like how swimsuit Hoshino and new year Kayoko buff them with explosive and mystic in their skills respectively. However, unlike the other two which has ways to be used more effectively (Hoshino can be used as tank and has effective buff range and duration, and Kayoko has a cost of 2 to buff mystic students faster), she suffers from having a cost of 4 as well as her EX skill forcing students to move onto her to get the buff. She also suffers from being left out on most teams due to mechanics of raids that need to follow and requires her slot to be replaced. Even with that, she is still a good buffer for raids that need her slot.

Attacks and robberies on businesses and students (usually by delinquents) are a daily occurrence, necessitating the various schools forming what are essentially self-organized vigilante militias for protection. (Now, it's worth pointing out that these crimes are, seemingly, virtually never fatal because all the residents are just so hard to kill, so there's a certain casual attitude to the whole situation, but it's still there.) Not to mention, there are forces outside of Kivotos that have their own agendas for the city.

It is important to note that the General Student Council, while technically being the managers for the infrastructure required for Kivotos to function, does not have direct power over individual school's student council and its member, while most schools look down at GSC as an organization due to their inability to manage Kivotos in its time of need before Sensei's arrival. In fact, SRT Academy and SCHALE is specifically made by the former GSC President to circumvent this limitation by being outside GSC's authority. Conversation with various character revealed that the former GSC President was a "superhuman" who was able to garner the trust of everyone, which is presumably how GSC was able to perform its functions compared to the state it is currently.

But upon being properly invested with Unique Equipment, good skill and gear levels, she becomes an exceptionally sturdy unit that has her own offensive capability against Light-armored enemies. Combined with This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman, some of students that were easily replaceable, saved as a last resort, or even absolutely unusable in most content become powerful against certain raids in Insane difficulties.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_41658cfc	comment	Stat Sticks: Some of the specialist slot students are treated like this: if you don't have an extra student, the skill cost recovery is reduced; adding a random student will end up reducing the skill card rotational ability while the said student being completely useless during the run. So players ended up using certain Specialist students for backing up the raw stats for Striker students, due to Specialist slot students giving 10% of their HP and ATK, as well as 5% of their DEF and Healing to the Striker units, to make them at least more useful beyond their skill set. Karin, Iroha and Saki are one of the few ATK buffing examples - their default ATK stat is very high, with their equipment slots further increasing their ATK power, and their Sub skill boosting all allies' ATK power even further. Stat Sticks, unlike the normal buffers on the same slot, have 100% uptime (they exist for purpose of backing up the stats in the first place), affect all allies (while some buffers cannot, or apply to a single target) and have their own flashy skills that can be used in some content. The disadvantage is the fact that buffers are far more efficient and noticeable if players actually use them.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_4577bd49	comment	Gameplay Grading: Present almost everywhere. Minimum Rank is C, while maximum is S. The battles themselves consists of these requirements: â€œClearâ€� (win the battle), â€œComplete under X secondsâ€� (which is always shorter than the given time limit) and â€œAll students surviveâ€�. The first requirement has to be completed in order to gain rewards and open new missions, although it is possible to get one star and still fail to clear the mission by keeping all students operable while failing to complete the mission in the time limit. S rank is required for sweeping and claiming extra rewards. For specific "Maze stage"-type missions, the above-mentioned battles always included. Requirements for multiple battles: â€œClear the mission (Defeat the "Boss" unit, required to clear the mission), â€œAcquire X number of S Ranksâ€� (so you have to have multiple perfect battles with requirements mentioned above), and â€œComplete in X turnsâ€�. Note that if any student gets knocked out, they will not be present for the next battle until the entire mission is finished. Same as above, S rank is required to sweep the stage and claim extra rewards. Rare exceptions include Bounty stages, which are the same as the normal battles, but time restriction is lighter, requiring 5 minutes to end the battle, and 150 seconds to get a higher rank (instead of normal 120). Another exception is "Item Retrieval", which revolves around a single enemy with Special Armor type in Urban environment, cannot attack, but revives itself 4 times with each next revival ending up with the enemy being tougher - requirements are basically: defeat the enemy 1 time (B rank), 4 times (A rank) and 5 times (S rank, possibility to sweep the stage). Time limit is far stricter than usual - requiring 30 seconds to knock out the enemy (time resets upon revival).

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_4da256ca	type	Boss Vulnerability
Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_4da256ca	comment	Boss Vulnerability: Most bosses are always vulnerable, but some of them have quite interesting exceptions: Some of the Event Challenge bosses have abysmal health stats and a lot of defensive boosts to boot. Those specific missions have a mechanic, whereupon defeating numerous or specific enemies (or upon waiting a certain time) they'll receive very potent status ailments that help your students to defeat the boss quicker. Chesed has an innate damage resistance of 90%, effectively reducing damage intake 10 times. Upon defeating 4 waves of enemies in the boss room, Chesed's core opens, increasing incoming damage by 900% (fully negates the natural damage reduction). Although this vulnerability lasts only 20 seconds, then Chesed simply closes its core and starts summoning new waves until your allies defeat another 4 waves to open its core again. Hod shares Chesed's Heavy armor and innate damage resistance of 90%. Hod can also summon erosion towers that have 80% damage resistance. To increase their damage intake by 300%, a sufficient amount of Crowd Control status effect has to be applied, and its efficiency is directly proportional to the enemies' CC application duration (in Insane difficulty, the enemy's CC Power stat multiplies the duration to balance out the huge CC gauge capacity increment of 50% compared to Extreme). Hieronymus has solid defense and hitpoint stats and innate damage reduction of 60%, which is negated by the presence of the Green Relic which increases Hieronymus' damage intake by 55% if completely healed (their HP pool increases as the difficulty does). The second phase adds a Red Relic, which can also be healed to cancel all upcoming skills cast by Hieronymus, including the Total Party Kill. Insane difficulty introduces a purple-colored Relic, which upon destruction significantly reduces allies' health recovery ability, but increases their attack stat and reduces Hieronymus' DEF by 1500 (which is more than half of its DEF stat) - presenting a trade-off for your allies between damage output boost at a cost of survivability. Fortunately (or not) it is not targeted by auto-attacks or basic skills. Those gameplay advantages in Insane difficulty are mitigated by the sheer amount of HP Hieronymus has - 24 million hit points and the absence of the Red Relic which canceled Hieronymus' party wipe attack (in return for it not automatically wiping the party in that difficulty). Perorodzilla, while being a mix of "always vulnerable" and "wait them out", has an absolutely gigantic healthpool, the highest defense (even higher than Binah, the previous record holder), and no means of reducing its resistance besides your own tools of doing it. But, it summons creatures called Perominions. These creatures can also attack, but Perorodzilla itself takes all of the damage that those Perominions take, even if they have 1 HP left (and until Perorodzilla swallows them back, they are immortal). It means that AOE attacks become necessary - as if you hit multiple Perominions, you basically hit Perorodzilla multiple times with one attack. When its Groggy meter is filled (with swallowing back Perominions that have less than 50% of their HP), Perorodzilla drops 5 Broken Perominions, which have less DEF stat and also reflect all the taken damage back to Perorodzilla - the time you unleash all of your firepowers in this 20-second window, after ending which Perorodzilla inhales them back. Gregorius is a unique case, as their health pool easily outperformed previous record holders - 140 million HP in Insane difficulty (220 million in Torment difficulty). However, that inflated healthpool is compensated by multiple downfalls that players can and will take full advantage of: Quite mediocre defensive capabilities - only 1000 DEF, however the Evasion stat is also the highest among other bosses - up to 800 in highest difficulties Gregorius duplicates all present status ailments onto all Choir Members (Example, if Gregorius was hit by 37.7% DEF reduction and 39.1% Evasion reduction, all Choir Members' DEF and Evasion will also be reduced by 37.7% and 39.1% respectively). Gregorius will take the same amount of damage the Choir Members take (making the battle strategy somewhat similar to Perorodzilla). Amount of Choir members is very large and they are grouped up (allowing AOE attacks to hit even more targets, stacking up already large damage output) Gregorius' incoming damage will increase upon having the right amount of status ailments (and the incoming damage increment is also replicated to all Choir Members, leading to some EX skills doing ridiculous amount of damage).

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_4ffde1e0	comment	Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Hoshino uses her EX Skill by charging forward while shooting her shotgun, all while holding her shield in her left hand which she drops immediately after ending her charge. She also gains a Shield status effect based from her Healing. Natsu and Tsubaki also use shields as well, but in gameplay they seem to not use them, even though Tsubaki's EX Skill is called "Deploy Tactical Shield", and Natsu's skill animation shows her hiding behind her shield while drinking milk that restores her HP. The â€œShieldâ€� buff grants additional HP for the target, its HP based mostly on the caster's/sourceâ€™s Healing stat and will inherit the target's armor type. Unlike normal healing, it cannot be recovered by healing methods, mostly lasts a limited time, can affect targets with full HP, cannot be stacked, and is not affected by the target's Health Recovery stat.

While the Abydos students want the 68 to be punished for blowing up a ramen restaurant, they are more angry that not only did the Prefect Team launch an unprovoked attack and invade their territory without announcing themselves, but the Prefect team is using the excuse of arresting the 68 as a cover for their real goal: kidnapping Sensei. Near the end of Volume 1, Gehenna and Trinity, two powerful academies who are usually rivals, join forces and help the Task Force and 68 battle the Kaiser PMC so the task force can rescue Hoshino. The same thing happens at the end of Chapter 3 of Volume 3, with Sensei rallying the two Academies' forces against the Arius Branch's own assault teams, plus their hijacked army of Justina Saints. A third instance shows up in Chapter 4 of the same Volume, this time with the Arius Squad leader Saori begging Sensei for help in rescuing the Squad's 'Princess' Atsuko from being sacrificed by their school's headmistress and Gematria member Beatrice.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: While Kivotos does have a police force as part of the General Student Council, at the time you arrive it's completely ineffectual to the point where each academy takes it upon themselves to organize their own armed school clubs to maintain public order. It later becomes clear that the bigger academies are, if anything, micro-states unto themselves and prefer this arrangement, Trinity and Gehenna in particular. Played straight with Valkyrie Police Academy, whose main police forces are notoriously slow to react to crimes, leaving the barely competent Public Safety Bureau to try and pick up the slack. In Chapter 4, they are constantly beaten down and humiliated by SRT without Sensei guiding them. And on Valentine's Day, Wakamo manages to escape from them multiple times. It got so bad that even students from other schools make fun of their inability to stop her and Kanna resorted to making a deal with Kaiser just to get some decent equipment for the force. Though to be fair to them, Valkyrie is constantly fighting against some serious heavyweights while being saddled with terrible circumstances (e.g. the disappearance of the General Student Council president which indirectly led to an extremely large increase in crimes without warning, lack of budget and manpower while also being saddled with obsolete gear, the removal of SRT who was supposed to be the ones to deal with said heavyweights instead of them). Events and character stories shows that they aren't that incompetent, it's shown when they aren't fighting against monstrous powerhouses like Wakamo, or the elite special forces like SRT, they are actually able to do their jobs pretty decently. It is later revealed that, this was intentional, on the part of Kaya. She had intentionally sabotaged Valkyrie by stripping them of all funding and equipment, while also using the FOX platoon to commit crimes behind the scenes. Her actions would destabilize the safety of Kivotos, dragging Valkyrie's name through the mud while promoting Kaiser Security at the same time. This was done for the purpose of making the transfer of power to Kaiser easier. In Volume Final, it's finally subverted when Kanna saves Sensei after he gets betrayed by Kaya and the GSC is imprisoned by Kaiser. Valkyrie then joins up with the Rabbit Platoon in the nick of time to defeat Kaiser. In the next part, they help with the evacuation of the citizens and the protection of the headquarters when it comes under attack. In Volume 4 part 2, they undergo heavy Redemption Promotion when they finally decided that enough is enough and rebels against Kaya and Kaiser's tyrannical reign. They arrive as The Calvary once again, helping Sensei and Miyako stop Kaiser and the FOX platoon from detonating a nuke in a small town. This time round, their level of competency has skyrocketed. Effectively running circles around Kaiser's elite forces despite them being saddled with old obsolete weapons. After fighting with them, Miyako admits that she is greatly impressed at much better they have become compared to before.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_5c17c12f	comment	Bribing Your Way to Victory: The game has rankings for its PvP and raid modes, which incentivizes players to spend money for additional gacha rolls and resources to build the ideal teams to reach the highest ranks and win the corresponding rewards. Being a Nexon game, there are quite a few mechanics designed to get players to spend money to stay on top: The gacha rates for a 3-star character are an abysmal 0.1% normally and 0.7% on a banner, and while you can guarantee to get a banner character after 200 rolls, it's going to set you back at least $300 USD. For a more detailed analysis (in CAD), assuming you use the 9.99 monthly pack to get around 10 rolls worth, you'd saved up at least another 20 rolls and a half worth from grinding and saving the excess from the monthly pack, you'd still need to spend well over 100$ CAD to even reach HALF the amount of rolls needed for pity. The Bounty maps where you can farm upgrade materials and resources require tickets to play, of which you only get two of each per day for free. However, you can buy additional tickets over the daily cap for premium currency. Eligma and Eleph, the resources needed to upgrade the rarity of a character, are rather hard to come by and the most reliable method of obtaining them is to roll dupes in the gacha. Character levels cannot exceed the player's account level, and the only way to increase the account level is by spending stamina to run maps. Of course, one can use premium currency to buy stamina refills to boost their own account level much quicker, allowing them to level up their characters to match. All this being said, the game is very much tuned to be playable for players who don't pay a cent; even the higher-end raid bosses are entirely defeatable so long as you Play Every Day (with a threshold of usually less than half an hour a day). If you want to place at the very top of the competitive PvP leaderboards, however... be prepared to shell out in order to stay at the very tip top of the advancement ladder. Lampshaded in several cutscenes where Sensei responds to the current overwhelming threat by...pulling out his credit card.

Fittingly, Sensei sets an example for their students as what ideal adults should be: those who take responsibility—be it for all the choices made, the power they wield, and for the children who would come to live in the world made by the adults who went ahead of them.

Shimoe Koharu, while wielding a sniper rifle, tosses a Holy Hand Grenade that damages enemies and heals allies upon explosion. Her enhanced skill increases her attack power as well. Saiba Midori is mostly focused at damage dealing, but her Basic Skill can recover some HP for the most wounded ally. Mari, while being in a Specialist slot, has a Basic Skill that deals little damage to the enemy. Her EX Skill removes a status ailment while providing a decent shield, considering that she has a decent Healing stat. Her Track variant (which is a Striker) can heal a very large amount of HP to all surrounding allies due to her high Healing power and a large multiplier to work with in emergenciesnote if the target is heavily wounded, then her Sub-Skill will recover even more HP).

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_7ef728b1	comment	Volume Three focuses on the Make-Up Work Club, an ad hoc gathering of students at danger of failing out of Trinity General School altogether. They consist of a nervous, slightly neurotic first-year whose main problem focusing might be her obsession with "adult" literature, an airheaded, highly attractive second-year who is not nearly as vapid as she first seems, but has her own reasons for her behavior, another second-year who is a mysterious transfer student, a rarity at Trinity, and having to tag along is a diligent second-year who actually has decent grades but has been trusted by the Trinity student council, the Tea Party, to help the students not fail. All of this unfolds against the backdrop of an upcoming treaty signing between Trinity and their long-time rivals, Gehenna. And the club's public purpose is a smokescreen. The true purpose of the club is to put all the students that Nagisa, head of the Tea Party, suspects of being spies or general problems into one club with the hope of having a good excuse to expel all of them, so as to ensure they don't disrupt the Eden Treaty. The maneuvering of the Tea Party, however, may conceal something even more sinister at work... and it might fall to a group of apparent screw-ups to prevent disaster. In Chapter 4, for a twist, the focus shifts to the Arius Squad after their headmistress decides to abandon them for their failure (not that it would have mattered even if they succeeded) and takes their kind princess figure as a Human Sacrifice in a ritual that may well bring an end to Kivotos. In this Enemy Mine situation, you team up with the last chapterâ€™s main antagonist that near-fatally shot you but is now the one who begged you for help, a meek sniper whoâ€™s usually Prone to Tears, and an apathetic girl toting a rocket launcher, all willing to venture into the hidden school district of Arius to rescue their friend. And, after a series of unfortunate events, a certain Tea Party member moves in the background out of vengeance against that same squad who manipulated herâ€¦

This allows the players to potentially recover their students during the battle and makes it much easier to fulfill the "Acquire S Rank [x] times" requirement.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_8ad43dc9	comment	Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Each major volume of the main story focuses around a group of such students who seek out the aid of Schale and Sensei in particular. Volume One focuses on the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force... who are a ragtag bunch inasmuch as they are the five remaining students at the school, and consist of a quiet second year who has a tendency to suggest high crime as a solution, a lazy slob of a third year who possesses one of the most powerful "Mystics" in all of Kivotos and has a closet and past full of skeletons, a well-meaning and hilariously wealthy second year, a far-too-firey-and-gullible-for-her-own-good first year, and a demure, nerdy, earnest first year who has to try and ride shotgun on this pile of incorrigibles. The adventure focuses on their efforts to save the school from repossession and total, permanent dissolution. Volume Two focuses on the Game Development Department of Millennium, which consists of a hyperactive gamer first year, her put-upon illustrator twin sister, their heavily shut-in club president, and their brand new recruit, an ancient humanoid android whose amnesia prevents her from remembering the purpose of her creation. Together, they need to prove to the guiding student council of Millennium that their club still deserves to exist... by making one of the greatest video games ever. Volume Three focuses on the Make-Up Work Club, an ad hoc gathering of students at danger of failing out of Trinity General School altogether. They consist of a nervous, slightly neurotic first-year whose main problem focusing might be her obsession with "adult" literature, an airheaded, highly attractive second-year who is not nearly as vapid as she first seems, but has her own reasons for her behavior, another second-year who is a mysterious transfer student, a rarity at Trinity, and having to tag along is a diligent second-year who actually has decent grades but has been trusted by the Trinity student council, the Tea Party, to help the students not fail. All of this unfolds against the backdrop of an upcoming treaty signing between Trinity and their long-time rivals, Gehenna. And the club's public purpose is a smokescreen. The true purpose of the club is to put all the students that Nagisa, head of the Tea Party, suspects of being spies or general problems into one club with the hope of having a good excuse to expel all of them, so as to ensure they don't disrupt the Eden Treaty. The maneuvering of the Tea Party, however, may conceal something even more sinister at work... and it might fall to a group of apparent screw-ups to prevent disaster. In Chapter 4, for a twist, the focus shifts to the Arius Squad after their headmistress decides to abandon them for their failure (not that it would have mattered even if they succeeded) and takes their kind princess figure as a Human Sacrifice in a ritual that may well bring an end to Kivotos. In this Enemy Mine situation, you team up with the last chapterâ€™s main antagonist that near-fatally shot you but is now the one who begged you for help, a meek sniper whoâ€™s usually Prone to Tears, and an apathetic girl toting a rocket launcher, all willing to venture into the hidden school district of Arius to rescue their friend. And, after a series of unfortunate events, a certain Tea Party member moves in the background out of vengeance against that same squad who manipulated herâ€¦ Volume Four centers around RABBIT Squad of SRT Special Academy, a squad of first-year girls trained to act as high-tech elite operatives that tackle terrorist threats on the level of Kosaka Wakamoâ€¦ except the academy has closed down, leaving these girls who protested its closure with only one objective: bring it back, despite being penniless and homeless. The squad consists of a no-nonsense self-appointed and eventually mutually approved leader, a hothead who works by the books of her training, a Shrinking Violet sniper who wishes she could turn off her social invisibility, and their Mission Control who has a thing for explosions. In the background, their seniors in the FOX Platoon move with their own agenda, and the GSCâ€™s Defense Office head likewise has her mysteriesâ€¦

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_8cb259f4	comment	Overshadowed by Awesome: If two or more characters' skills have nearly the same use, one of them becomes a more desirable pick than the other depending on how fast/powerful/supportive/cost efficient it is. When Ako was released, all other Specialists who were used for boosting Crit Damage via their sub skill were left at places where their other skills could be used for specific content (they were used there anyways, yet their Crit damage boosts allowed to go outside of their niche). Most Piercing-type students are overshadowed by Iori, as her skill allows for both AOE and powerful burst single-target attacks. Yuzu was used in Urban Binah and Hod raids due to her absolutely busted crit damage stats. After Kazusa's release, some players preferred to choose the latter one, as her damage output was more consistent, while being backed up by insanely potent ATK buffs and 1773% multiplier on her EX skill. Mika, during her own release, easily overshadowed most Piercing-damage Strikers; she's got an extremely high multiplier (15 times the attack power; can be doubled up depending on target's amount of HP), unique and powerful damage bonuses, and all of her attacks deal critical hits. Also, she can take a beating with her high hitpoints and evasion.

While the AI is usually passable in PvE missions, it's absolutely abysmal in PvP, since you don't even get to control the use of skills and the AI is clearly not programmed to have students fight other students, so victory can come down to which side executed their skills in the least incompetent fashion.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e	comment	Shotguns Are Just Better: They definitely have quite some advantages over other firearms. Even if the wielder has poor evasion, short range, it is compensated by very high DEF and HP stats, high stability (thus lower damage variance) and somewhat good accuracy that is on par with assault rifles. Not the best weapon, but any striker that wields a shotgun is most likely to be a "tanking" character that keeps your backline safe. The non-dedicated 'tanks' (Tsurugi, Michiru) also have quite high ATK stats to contribute to the overall damage output of the team, while the dedicated tanks (Hoshino, Eimi) have lower ATK stat, but back it up with the presence of good survivability against incoming burst damages, or offensive skills: Haruka, upon using an EX skill called "Shotgun Blast", deals 1560% of her ATK as damage to all enemies in large area. Hoshino also stuns and knocks back the enemies with her shotgun during her "Tactical Suppression".

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_99db72ee	comment	Immune to Bullets: One of the first rules of Kivotos's world that you learn is that everyone who live in this city are, to human standards, absurdly durable; being shot with hollow-point rounds from modern firearms is, to them, roughly the equivalent of a normal human having small rubber bouncing balls thrown at them. You need to start getting into the territory of Flak 41s and tank-mounted guns to talk about weapons that can seriously threaten these girls in a single shot (and even then, early in the story, Serika is hit with a Flak round and is only really knocked out, winded, and in need of a little rest afterward). It's implied in-story (and shown in gameplay) that, with enough effort, small arms rounds can threaten the girls to an extent, but it takes a lot of it to get there; a later chapter features a character having an entire magazine of 5.56x45 from an M4 emptied at point blank range directly into her head, and another character involved estimates that this will, maybe, keep the victim unconscious for an hour. While not often highlighted, even the animal and robot people who live in Kivotos can also survive being hit by a bullet. Even so, they are obviously not as strong as students, and one was complaining that they could've been killed after being hit with a silver bullet. A letter written by Hoshino implies that a student can be killed if their halo is destroyed. In fact, "destroying a halo" is treated as an euphemism for death when it comes to students, and although the denizen of Kivotos are durable, they are not immortal, and can still die from cases such as constant damage, illness, hunger, thirst, abnormal temperatures and falling from extreme heights. There also exist an attempt to make a weapon specifically for destroying a student's halo.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	Difficult, but Awesome: Forming a hypercarry setup with one student using her own flashy skill for devastating effect ends up with you dumping a massive amount of investments on all of the required students beforehand, reallocating the forces and skills in precise timing and accuracy to massively increase the performance of the said student, while the rest of the team being almost purely on support and tanking role. Mess it up, and you have to restart; pull it off, and the results will be exceptionally awesome and satisfying. Hasumi is a prime example: Her skill set makes her useful against a single Heavy-armored enemy. But to make her deal over 2 million damage in one EX Skill cast, you need to: 1) completely upgrade her skills and her unique weapon; 2) upgrade the buffers' skills; 3) she has to land a killing shot against an enemy to trigger her basic skill and sub skill (which means, there have to be more than 1 enemy), which insanely boost her critical damage and chance; 4) in the span of the 13-second duration of her Basic Skill, you have to trigger her costly EX Skill; 5) use the buffers' skills on her (mainly Kotama and Ako) to further overinflate the damage output; 6) somehow make sure to weaken the enemy's damage resistance (if any); 7) be lucky enough for her to actually land a critical hit. Against the Chesed Total Assault boss, she is a really solid choice. Mutsuki is another one: having a Basic Skill giving massive damage every 20 seconds is surely great, but it is set in a fixed distance from her. However, her attack range is noticeably greater than the mine deployment range. The solution is easy as it sounds and hard to implement at the same time: repositioning her closer to enemy might be quite a challenging task under certain external restrictions, but when using an external repositioning skill, you can set Mutsuki onto the specific spot which allows her Basic Skill to land its mines right on top of the enemy... but that means dedicating the entire slot for that student, which usually might be restrictive for team compositions. Another solution is to shorten her attack range, and currently, only Tomoe is capable of doing that: her EX Skill besides that also grants additional movement speed, crit chance and critical damage increment—yet this method is also restrictive for teambuilding while affecting everyone else in the EX Skill range as well, potentially leaving allies in a cramped position for enemy AOE skills to wipe them.

The Taunt type of Crowd Control effects makes anyone inflicted by it attack the inflicter.

If multiple targets have the Focused Target status effect, none of them take priority - their enemies will damage the closest "Focused Target". Unlike Taunt, is not considered as Crowd Control, but can affect anyone that is immune to Crowd Control. Has both "buff" and "debuff" forms, but their functionality is pretty much the same, although the unit with the "debuff" version takes additional damage from enemies that have skills that deal additional damage to targets with status ailments. Perorodzilla is currently the only one who can draw enemies' attention to itself (and other Perominions that have more than 50% HP left) via "Focused Target" in the status buff version. Cherino, Izuna (Swimsuit), Noa, and Sakurako can draw allies' attention to one enemy by applying Focused Target. Cherino can do it without taxing the cost gauge and focuses assault only to one enemy with the highest ATK, and only every 40 seconds.

Moreover, its students subscribe to a philosophy of nihilism: their logo has a skull to represent the ultimate end of life, their motto is "vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas"meaning"vanity of vanities, all is vanity", based off Ecclesiastes 12:8, and their weapons are undecorated and devoid of individuality in comparison to every other student's. Gehenna Academy has a demon motif, with many of their students sporting demon horns and/or wings and featuring a vaguely Putting on the Reich aesthetic (with a few, like the Pandemonium Society, veering much closer to World War II-esque Wehrmacht uniforms); many of them utilize classic German firearms from the World Wars. The Pandemonium Society also has access to a Hindenburg-like dirigible, while Iroha drives a Tiger I tank she calls "Toramaru." The Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy is a Japanese-style school where the students wear traditional Japanese clothes and the town the school is located looks like a old era Japanese city like Kyoto. Most are also themed after various sorts of Japanese yokai or other supernatural beings, and the school itself is named for the idea of the Hyakkiyako found throughout Japanese folklore and old literature. The Millennium Science School, as the name suggests, is a school that focus on STEM education, with some students using high-tech devices like drones in their skills. One prominent very recently admitted Millennial even uses a science-fiction-esque railgun as their weapon. Its first name, "Millennium", is also a reference to the seven unsolved mathematical questions known as the Millennium Problems. The Red Winter Federal Academy has a Soviet Russian motif, since everyone wears winter jackets and ushanka fur hats, their student council president (tries to) behave like a typical Soviet leader, and their school's microclimate is decidedly subarctic. The Shanhaijing Senior Secondary School is a Chinese motif school where the students wear Qipao uniforms and have Chinese restaurants located near their school. The students themselves are also largely based on various animals sourced from the actual Shanhaijing. The Trinity General School is a Christian-themed religious school, with many of their students featuring angel wings or wearing crosses and nun habits. They also have a British theme with some students using British guns and one of the school's most powerful club being the Tea Party. Fittingly enough, Trinity has a deep and abiding rivalry with Gehenna. Valkyrie Police Academy references the Norse Valkyries, angel-like women who survey battlefields and carry the spirits of fallen warriors to Valhalla—one could say the policegirls survey scenes of crime (and given the many gun-toters in the city, itâ€™s almost always a battle instead), and their logo is a collection of strips in a diamond shape that resemble a pair of wings folded over each other, which is also what Valkyries are usually associated with.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_aefcb86f	comment	There Are No Adults: With the exception Sensei, there are practically no adults depicted in Kivotos, or at least human adults. Sensei never encounters any other teachers or faculty staff in any of the academies they visit except for Shun, who is blatantly an adult and is part of the faculty of Shanhaijing's kindergarten/early elementary equivalent, but absolutely wants to be treated as a "third-year student" and doesn't like discussing her age, and the only adults they encounter are either robots or anthropomorphic animals that work outside of the schools. And then there's the memorable confrontation with Black Suit of Gematria, who also calls himself an adult, but is blatantly not human and is... difficult to classify. Likewise, while some of the students mention they have parents, said parents are never seen meaningfully interacting with their children or Sensei. And that's not getting into the majority of the students don't even acknowledge the existence of their parents at all. It's explained in Volume 3 that while the academies do have faculty staff, actual teachers are a rare sight, since the majority of lessons are taught through recorded lectures. Sensei is pretty much the only actual teacher in Kivotos, which is what makes them so special among the students they encounter.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd	comment	Loophole Abuse: Used by the Kaiser Corporation to justify invading Abydos Academy. The Kaiser President points out, since Hoshino gave her resignation letter from Abydos and the Foreclosure Task Force, but it was never officially approved by the General Student council and thus illegal, Abydos is technically ownerless and Kaiser has the right to take over their territory. However, this logic is used against them when Sensei points out they, the club advisor, never signed the resignation letter, which means Hoshino is still a student of Abydos and thus Kaiser's invasion is still illegal. Arius uses this to their advantage when they insert themselves into the Eden Treaty. Since Arius was a part of the original First Council that formed Trinity High School, that allows them to hijack the Eden Treaty and trigger the manifestation of the Justina Saints when they trick Trinity and Gehenna into attacking each other. Sensei then counters this by pointing out that since the Eden Treaty was written by the General Student Council President who would also officially act as a mediator to enforce the terms of the treaty, SCHALE and by extension Sensei also has the same power since the GSC President granted SCHALE all of her privileges and authorities before she disappeared. Thus Sensei is able to take control the Eden Treaty and banish the Justina Saints.

Saki can also be used as an attack boosting stat stick though. Swimsuit Hifumi with her notorious 10-cost "Crusadie", the one who was released during Chesed raid boss being open. Performs quite poorly on her own in other game modes by that steep cost requirement alone. The entire Arius Squad. All of their Strikers have Special Armor (except Hiyori, a Specialist), Explosive-type Attacks and very good affinity in Indoor Terrain. Even if they add up to the roster of scarce numbers of good Explosive attackers for indoors, they are very fitting for the indoor Hieronymus raid (which has Explosive Attacks that deal poor damage against Special Armor); Misaki's EX Skill requires the enemy to stand still and have a large hitbox, Hiyori cuts Defense in half, Atsuko will absorb (evade) incoming strikes and Saori deals critical hits. And this is while all of them are very resistant to Hieronymus' Desert Penance, which constantly damages all enemies with a moderate cooldown. Higher levels of Joint Firing Drill have special conditions that make certain students essential to getting a good score. All attacks do 1 damage per hit? Both versions of Neru have EX skills that do damage over many hits. Damage Over Time debuffs are powered up? Juri suddenly becomes a top choice. The list goes on.

Volume 1 turns when Kaiser convinces Hoshino to turn herself into them in return for forgiving Abydos' debt. However, it quickly turns out that Kaiser double-crossed her, using Exact Words to initiate an operation to wipe out Abydos permanently while at the same time basically enslaving Hoshino as a test subject for Black Suit. Volume 2 turns when Aris briefly goes berserk and accidentally injures Momoi. And to make things worse, it's later revealed that Aris is actually the leader of the DIVI:SION, a faction of renegade robots programmed to wipe out all organic life in Kivotos. Aris is shocked about this revelation, and not wanting to hurt her friends, agrees to surrender to Millenium authorities to be dismantled and destroyed. Volume 3 turns when it is revealed Arius wants to assault Trinity with the objective of assassinating Seia and Nagisa. It just goes downhill from there when Arius tries to sabotage the Eden Treaty signing and Saori shoots and critically wounds Sensei. And then when Saori is defeated, she begs Sensei to save her friend Atsuko from Beatrice, who wants to sacrifice the girl for some mystical ritual. Volume 4 turns when it's found out that the Valkyrie Police School is dirty, illegally accepting weapons from Kaiser in return for doing Kaiser's dirty work. In addition, it's revealed that Kaya is secretly plotting to overthrow the General Student Council and disband SCHALE.

Its usefulness is questionable, as the cover is immobile, and the block rate under the cover is RNG-reliant (not only by simple blocking chance, but also the fact that someone else might go under the deployed cover), leaving you to choose specific students with good mood (primary factor for block rate) or wasting 3 cost for deploying the cover for no survivability boost. On Total Assault boss Shiro and Kuro, both students are exceptionally good at dealing with Shiro's large rolling bombs on the lane, as the rolling bomb will deal significantly less damage to obstacles (such as covers), and if the rolling bomb cannot crush the obstacle, it will bounce back at Shiro, increasing its Groggy Gauge while saving the team from getting heavily damaged.

Pandemonium considers Prefect Team to be a threat to their power, and does everything possible to limit their influence, while the Prefect team sees Pandemonium as Obstructive Bureaucrats who keep getting in the way of their mission to protect Gehenna. That's not even getting into the school's borderline rogue clubs like the Gourmet Research Society and Hot Springs Club, who cause all sorts of trouble while pursuing their own interests. Trinity has the divide between the Tea Party and the Sisterhood. While the Tea Party are the official leaders and main power of the Trinity campus, the Sisterhood is large and powerful enough to remain independent of the Tea Party's control. This has led to a cold war between the two sides as they quietly vie for supremacy. Valkyrie Police School has the Public Security and Public Safety Bureaus. Public Security is universally considered the more prestigious organization as they carry out most of the actual police duties, while Public Safety is mostly relegated to community service and nonviolent offenses. This leads to members of Public Security seeing Public Safety as a dumping ground for incompetent students while members of Public Safety vie to at least secure some of the action and glory Public Security enjoys.

Although made by a Korean game developer, all the characters (including students from Russian and Chinese themed Academies) and writings are in Japanese. Even the vehicles' steering wheel is on the right instead of left. That said, some incidents in-game are inspired by Korean internet culture. For example, during Head Prefect Hina's Summer Break, Gourmet Research Society tries to sell grilled corn when there is a fight, inspired by real events on a Korean website in 2009.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Sweeps. It skips previously cleared battles, saving up a lot of time while netting mission rewards without any penalty. For events, bonus rewards get preserved for later sweeps (so long as you fulfilled the requirements for the bonuses). In the Maze stage scenario, when your units stand close to triggerable Boss and Mook units (means that they assault any adjacent enemy, should their turn start) simultaneously, all non-Boss enemy units assault first, leaving Boss unit as the last and Final Battle in a mission. This allows the players to potentially recover their students during the battle and makes it much easier to fulfill the "Acquire S Rank [x] times" requirement. Recent "quality of life" updates allowed: To skip the previously mentioned Maze stages' battles (barring Boss unit) at a cost of inability to control the students during the battle (so it is recommended to have heavily overgeared, overskilled and overleveled students for effective usage of this mode). Ability to select specific skill cards of students at the start of the battle (absent in Tactical Challenge), which significantly reduces the amount of resets and allows for more precise battle planning overall. Skipping battles in Tactical Challenge, instead of being Forced to Watch your team getting steamrolled by bad RNG.

Both the Kaiser PMC director and Black Suit express apparently sincere surprise at the suggestion that the climate change was planned and don't seem to know what caused it; the Kaiser director in particular acts like it's simply a fortunate turn of events. However, there is some implication that whatever Kaiser is looking for in the desert is linked to the change, so Kaiser might know what's causing it, but has no direct hand in it happening.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_fd8e3e9d	comment	World of Action Girls: Kivotos is the Girls with Guns type. All playable units are high-school students from female-only schools, they all carry firearms as a requirement, and are very competent at handling them.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_fe069e49	type	Critical Hit Class
Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_fe069e49	comment	Critical Hit Class: Ako's EX Skill basically turns any DPS unit into this. A maximum of 90.6% increment in critical damage and decent boost in critical chance makes a damage dealer hit with them absolutely cracked. Any DPS unit that has Critical Damage-boosting enhanced skills count by default. Izuna, Aru, Yuzu are common examples. Supporter-role students, however, don't benefit from Crit Damage boosts much, their offensive skills not being great enough to make use out of these buffs; Kotori for instance has a Passive and Sub-Skill that heavily boosts her critical damage, but the lack of Crit Chance-boosting equipment makes those skills useless. Yuzu currently has the highest base critical damage value of 240% (all other students have 200%). Her equipment, sub and enhanced skill further boost that. Due to this, her non-critical attacks are quite weak despite having very high attack power; the damage multiplier on her EX Skill is quite low (594%), and she reloads every time she shoots, giving her a slow attack speed. Queen of all critical-reliant students is Mika, all of whose auto attacks crit. Aforementioned critical damage-boosting supporters can improve her potency even further.

Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_fe5e40e2	type	Gondor Calls for Aid
Blue Archive (Video Game) / int_fe5e40e2	comment	Gondor Calls for Aid: During the events of the Final Volume, Sensei sends out a call to all their students to rally to defend Kivotos from the invasion of the False Sanctums. Practically every school and student Sensei had ever helped answers the call and unites under Sensei's command. Even traditional enemies like the delinquents decide to team up with SCHALE to help defend the city.
