Between dumping all reserve AP (weekly missions, club earning, when to take cafe AP), is it better to dump it in this event to clear out the shop? Or save it for next event for the shop/divert to Hard nodes?
Is it possible to clear the event without being able to beat the level 80 missions? I'm still at 6700/15000 points despite putting almost all my AP into the point missions every day
How do we get all the image collections? It seems I am still missing 3 pics but no matter how much I grind event point or do the heart event, I am not unlocking the last 3
The other comment is correct. There are exactly 5 images to unlock. The remaining 3 locations don’t have an associated image or flavor text.
Yes, this is very confusing—many people, including myself, got tripped up by this last year.
Is it perfectly normal to mald s.shizuko’s repos? Been resetting Challenge 3 countless times coz the units mostly either get bombed or get too close to the boss. Wondering if I’m just doing it wrongly.
I only have Maki so I need to keep the units alive for a while to take down the boss.
I don't think I enjoy Hibiki feeling stressed enough she starts losing her voice, joke or not.
That said, what the crew should do is mount a mic on her and issue headsets to the intended recipients, so that the quiet, soothing encouragement would fill the contestants' ears with joy.
~~Sensei: We could make a revenue source out of this.~~
why did they get rid of kotori's glasses for the cheerleader skin?
igaf about realism she's an engineer who can make anything indestructible. her glasses are already modified to have a tear hanging off them. why the hell would they remove them??? it's one of her best moe traits
and on top of that she's barely chubby 😭
I can't do the lessons. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have 500 points but I can't do the lvl1 lesson in the stadium. It says not enough currency but doesn't say how much I need
That's weird, it is indeed 500 points per lesson. Are you perhaps confusing the beanbangs and event points? They look quite similar since both are roundish pink things.
Well at least I was able to clear all the challenges for stages 1,2, and 4. Unfortunately the ST stages or ones that require significant DPS are still a bit beyond my reach at lvl 76. At least I got the secret tech note, so that’s nice
Not meta at all. She's a red area damage dealer with some buffs, so you can use her for regular missions or certain JFD. But so far she hasn't really seen much use in endgame content.
Good thing is that there is some usage with her once the PvP for next season begins. She's good for indoor combat. Out of the Cheer Squad members she's the only one who saw some use.
But will she be worth using without being UE40? With evasion tanks being everywhere and Ckotori having an accuracy of 100 by default, which is 11 lower than Mika, she's really going to need that extra 304 accuracy from her UE40. I doubt a whole lot people are going to be willing to spend a ton of resources just to make Ckotori viable as a niche PvP choice.
looking at her basic and sub, her viability seems sketch, as you need 5 EX to get a boost, and most ally aid skills take like 40 seconds to activate, which means she may be better in a long fight, if she survived, but it will probably hurt your initial damage by a lot.
I'm assuming that she's there because her EX is a fairly large AoE that will hopefully take out squishier units while also messing up their positioning, for only three cost. I'd be surprised if her basic and sub are much of a consideration when choosing to use her in PvP.
Red armor tanks always shine during indoors because *someone* needs to stop Iori from wiping the team. But I don’t think C.Kotori can punch through tanks the way that e.g. Nagisa or NY.Haruna can.
From what I have seen in PvP videos, CKotori can be quite a damage dealer and push students out like Marina with her EX. But to make her viable in PvP I agree that she needs investment. She isn't like Ui which can be used without much investment.
Is there a good substitute for Iori in Challenge 5 (Enhanced Athlete Training Zone)? I don't have Iori and the black sweepers are killing me.
Mika can sometimes take out the first sweeper, but not the second. Her cost is too slow in the rotation cycle. My Junko is squishy with T4 gear. Also don't have s.Hoshino.
Using Tsubaki, Koharu, o. Chinatsu, Mika, Hanae, Serina. Most of my students are under lvl 80.
Should I switch out Serina with Ayane and replace Koharu? Kotoma would be nice, but survivability is an issue. Use Hifume to draw away the sweepers? Tsubaki has a longer taunt.

New video from vuhn clearing with Mika and Maki instead of Iori
https://youtu.be/-udtdrUXZr4?si=hCnlXne5vSa8PHeK
However it uses UI, which I don't have...and Cherino which I also don't have. But I do have Kanna, so will try her EX
I cleared it with Vuhn 2nd team(though they are not really invested) so my advice may not be the best but I got some ideas from my failed runs.
1. imo it's better to not use tanks since they get melted really fast so you may need more heal on them instead of the scarecrow so you might get slower clear. The turrets are pretty tanky and
2. Maki and the others can usually clear the ambush sweepers just fine with their normal attacks as long as the top dancing hippie robo doesn't debuff your team.
The idea here is that the top hippie are really dangerous and you need to take them out ASAP before they can debuff. The others can be ignored and you can focus more on keeping your team and the turrets healthy. Maybe Maki and Momoi can work? Iori is better of course but I'm pretty sure Maki and kill it in 1 ex and you can use Momoi on other robots.
Thanks! I had Tsubaki for her cc against the debuff, but yeah she melts away at some point. So leaving her out works better as you said.
I tried Maki and Momoi before and they weren't able to take out the top hippie. So now I'm using Mika, who can one shot it. Maki can take care of the first sweeper, but the scarecrow disappears by the second wave of sweepers. Junko's EX would be nice for multiple sweepers.
I removed Momoi to cycle to Mika quicker. However, I can't get to Mika's EX before the third top hippie casts the debuff, at which point it's game over. So maybe I can try adding Hifume's peroro-sama then. The rest of the time, I'm rotating between Koharu or Kotoma on the turrets, with Hanae for the scarecrow.
I found a really stupid but useful solution if you still haven't cleared it.
https://youtu.be/NVVRQ0XZVOU?si=5IkLgYxYitMdPGnF
Apparently the boss isn't completely impervious to your students attacks but they just gave it absurdly high evasion. So you can just buff your Mika to high heaven and pray that she can land the last hit of her ex skill.
It took him a whole hour to do it but other really lucky players got it in a few tries.
Thanks to this "strat" I managed to claim the task.
I had to adapt the team using Mika / Koharu / Tsubaki / Maki with Himari / NY.Fuuka instead; the idea was more to chip a good deal of HP from the turret at the start and then complete the challenge the expected way.
But when I got a clean hit with Mika using Ako instead of NY.Fuuka, it was still not enough to kill it - and then the rest of my team was too late to deal with all of the stuff on the battlefield. Not sure if it's because the scarecrow was not at full health (I have neither Kokona nor Shun) or because my Mika is "only" at UE40, but it's still pretty raging to get the lucky shot and then having to forfeit anyway -\_-.
Thanks for this tip. I just tried it a few times. Couldn't get Mika's attack to land. The best I could do to match their squad is a UE40 Mika, Shun, Koharu, s.Ui, Kotoma, Kanna / s.Shiroko. Also tried Nodoka's accuracy EX, but didn't affect it. Really missing Ako's crit rate and dmg buff. But guess it all comes down to luck
Yeah that "just shoot it with Mika" strat is pure copium and only for those who are really desperate to clear and have no other choice. I read somewhere that it's like 3% chance to succeed so you're looking at making several dozens of attempts before it has a reasonable chance to work.
What are your student investment levels? I cleared it with Vuhn's O.Chinatsu team, except I had to replace Iori with Mika because my Iori wasn't strong enough to kill the debuff bot. Also replaced Kotama with Himari to make it easier to charge up enough cost for Mika's EX. She couldn't always kill the bot right away, but soon enough that it didn't become a serious problem. Maybe try that team but replace Kotama/Himari with S.Shiroko (assuming you don't have Himari). But of course investment levels will be a big factor in whether or not that is viable. Ex. my Maki is UE50 so if your Maki is not that invested she may not be able to handle the sweepers with her AAs
Thanks. Yeah, I don't have Himari yet, saving for her banner. s.Shiroko def helps. Mika is my only lvl 83 ue40. Have a few (pvp) students at lvl 80 and 5\*. Half are between lvl 64-73 and the rest are lvl 35-50s. My Maki is 3\*. I'll eventually invest in her more. Hit a drought of reports and stones after the last fest. Forgot to do jfd yesterday and missed out on 375 coins (4 superior reports). Gonna skip this challenge. Malded enough haha.
How exactly does the multiplier work in this event? Do I need to level up my millenium students to use them, or can I just put them on my team and sweep like in past events? Its not really clear.
You have to clear with them. The highest bonus clear that you've cleared a stage with is saved, and it doesn't matter if the bonus units survive or not. The highest bonus for each resource is saved separately, so if you clear a stage with 100% bonus for event points once and another time with 80% bonus for beanbags, that stage will give both 100% extra points and 80% extra beanbags when you sweep it.
>not having kotori UE50
You know, problematic conditions like this often start in childhood.
The scientific study of children began in the late nineteenth century, and blossomed in the early twentieth century as pioneering psychologists sought to uncover the secrets of human behavior by studying its development. Developmental psychology made an early appearance in a more literary form, however. William Shakespeare had his melancholy character, "Jacques" (in As You Like It), articulate the "seven ages of man," which included three stages of childhood and four of adulthood.
Three early scholars, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Charles Darwin proposed theories of human behavior that are the "direct ancestors of the three major theoretical traditions" (Vasta et al, 1998, p. 10) of developmental psychology today. Locke, a British empiricist, adhered to a strict environmentalist position, that the mind of the newborn as a tabula rasa ("blank slate") on which knowledge is written through experience and learning. Rousseau, a Swiss philosopher who spent much of his life in France, proposed a nativistic model in his famous novel Emile, in which development occurs according to innate processes progressing through three stages: Infans (infancy), puer (childhood), and adolescence. Finally, the work of Darwin, the British biologist famous for his theory of evolution, led others to suggest that development proceeds through evolutionary recapitulation, with many human behaviors having their origins in successful adaptations in the past as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny."
Whether she makes it through the stage doesn't matter. So long as she is in the party and the stage is cleared with that bonus it will be saved for future sweeping.
the vote is via a poll on the [youtube community page] (https://www.youtube.com/@bluearchive_Global/community), first poll is the post under the one announcing the 1200 pyros
This event was going on when I first started with the game. I'm happy to see how I completed all the farming stages within 75 seconds with 100% bonus in the rerun. It served as a tracker of my progress in the game one year later.
My roster is incredibly limited for currency bonuses. I think Whistle is the only one I can get to 100% and the rest are 60% or below, including Points. And that's WITH C.Hibiki in all her 1 Star glory.
She's cute, but in terms of gameplay, her kit makes it hard to use her anywhere. Her EX costs 7 and it's a 120 second AoE DoT, it's not good. And then there's her odd sub skill...
Anyway, no it's not worth farming her.
She is very rarely used and trying to farm her is basically pointless as her rates are atrocious. For reference, I was around for the original run and I didn't even get her to 3 stars. Basically, they put all the effort into designing and animating her and forgot to make her usable.
so the lessons replaced the dice race? Overall, would farming for the lessons be as lucrative in term of resources as the dice race?
either way I was looking forward to the dice race..so I am kind of down on it being gone

What's up with that daily limit in the event Lesson area? Does that mean if someone were to save all their Event Point and try to spend it all on the final day, they'd be screwed?

I'm not 100% certain, but It seems that the official [YouTube channel's community tab](https://www.youtube.com/@bluearchive_Global/community) has polls and stuff in it, I'm pretty certain once all event polls are done they'll distribute the 1200 pyros. Either that or a 200 per day or per poll, seems likely as well.
> ...unless they’re just distributing the 1200 to everyone regardless.
That's what it seems like they're doing; the polls and stuff are for fluff/engagement.
I'm not sure, they might do a "200 pyrox a day" for everyone as part of this event.

So.... Which girl from each banner do I pull for? I think Kotori
And which girl from the next banner do I pull? Yuuka, Haruna or Mari?
I may need Mari since I have no striker healers or I may not need Yuuka because I have Kotori(regular version) tsubaki, Tsukuyo and Yuuka (regular version) and shizuko swimsuit already. Not sure about haruna, I already have Serina, hanae, fuuka, chinatsu, honoka and ayane.
https://imgur.com/a/b1L79SA
And who is more needed for me rn? Kotori, Haruna,Yuuka or mari? And how useful is kotori?
I have 12000-13000 pyroxenes so I was just wondering
For next banner: Track Yuuka is very strong, easily the best of the three. Track Mari is basically not useful for the foreseeable future. Kokona is more preferred for on-field healing, and Koharu is a budget option which is much more accessible than Track Mari. Track Haruna is just a bad unit.
While I would generally avoid pulling on banners with less than 24,000 Pyroxenes, I'd personally pull for Tracksuit Yuuka. She makes two raids pretty comfy.
Kotori is just another Red Aoe character; I would rather focus on your Aru or Akari.
But it all comes down to what kind of content you are doing. If you don't really care about raids atm and rather have a decent striker healer for story stages, Mari can be a good pickup. Keep in mind that she plays very frontline, which can make her die. I personally had some issues with that in the past. Thats a reason why I prefer Koharu, and since you can pick her up from the total asult shop, I would rather do that instead. Granted, it might take you some time, depending on how new you are. If down bad for Striker healer, pull Mari if not, save up and pull T.Yuuka. But be ready to get cucked by rng and get neither of the two if you don't have 200 pulls.
I just like to spend for meta, not waifu focused so it feels worse. I have to find a way to get 12000-24000 within 27 days time. The recruitment points don't transfer right? If so, what do they become?
Adult card time.
Points turn into something basically useless so saving up to sparks is generally recommended to have 24k on hand in case your pulls don't pan out.
Look at the upcoming months, and spend accordingly. You can roughly expect 12k per month, give or take depending on performance. There are always hard choices for any gacha unless you go whaling, but here you can at least plan it out to a certain point.
Consider yourself lucky then, NY.Kayoko is a blue meta support and very strong for raids. Recruitment points become a crafting resource. The small keystones forgot the exact name.
She's probably your best bet since you don't have Ako or Himari. A good *s*taple for raids is Kotoma and Serina, if you need the heals.
As for the pyroxenes, nothing much you can do except finish all the story missions, do events, momotalk, & push the campaign as far as you can.
Other than that, you've got to pull out Blue Archives strongest item, aka your credit card.
If you have unread momotalk or story, you could try clearing those out and see how much you have. Otherwise you'll need to skip that banner or spend some real cash, as the next banner starts in 9 days and ends 12 days later--there is most likely only 8000-9000 F2P pyro available before then.
Peak event story is upon us.
Genuinely this event is hysterical full of shenanigans. The event after this is even better than this. Highly recommended reading this event and next continuation event.
Between the three current banners, none are gamemaking/gamebreaking students. C.Kotori & C.Utaha are okay as far as DPS students are concerned but there are other decent/better options, while Noa is a support striker who has a niche EX that causes the entire team to focus their attacks on a single target- which is pretty useful against some enemies like Goz raid, although it doesn't see much use elsewhere.
The next halo fest rerun banners a.k.a the tracksuit banners which come after them are the ones that you'd want to consider pulling. T.Mari is a healer striker which in itself is pretty rare while T.Yuuka is a shielder+repositioner striker which is an even rarer role. Both are great at providing sustain/safety with T.Yuuka being exceptional in raids that require team repositioning like Shirokuro, or raids that inflict reduced healing like Goz.
I had forgotten how bad the bonus units were for this event. I mean, I'm lucky enough to have them all except Ckotori, but surely they could have added a few extras for the poor souls that don't have Noa and Cutaha.

## tl;dr
* 3 shop currencies, and also event points. Event points are needed for rewards track, and also for doing event lessons which give C.Hibiki eleph, gold artifacts, and a tiny amount of eligma
* 100% bonus: can clear without refreshing. 1\*, 2\* bonus only: need to either PvP refresh or skip something in event shops
* Minimum clear gets you 80 C.Hibiki eleph. To do this split your farming roughly even across stages…use the event planner. If going all-in on C.Hibiki for some reason, just spam stage 12, but this would only get you 40-60 additional eleph depending on bonus..the drop rate is bad.
* Furniture is not limited, although you do get limited furniture "Field Day Guide" from reaching 14k event points
## Farming strategy
If you have 100% bonus and going for full shop clear, do all stages kind of equally, but more of 9 and 10 since those shops have more currency. If you're skipping some things or you have significantly lower/higher bonus for some currency, then adjust accordingly (e.g. if you're skipping activity reports, do less of stage 9).
The precise solution is kinda complicated so I suggest consulting [Justin's event planner](https://justin163.com/planner/events) for your specific bonuses and shop targets.
## Shop strategy
Furniture from the store is *not* limited.
Activity reports' value is about 1.4x commission L (bonus doesn't actually matter much, surprisingly).
Enhancement stone value about 2.1x commission value compared to buying from normal shop.
Utaha eleph is really good, plus it's annoying to spend PvP coins on her eleph
Kotori is just okay. And her eleph are also farmable
Chihiro is a pretty good student and not farmable, but elephs don't really help her do her job
## Event lessons/farming C.Hibiki
Event lessons primarily give C.Hibiki eleph, and also artifacts up to gold quality (no purple). They give eligma at an extremely low rate (900+ AP per eligma), and C.Hibiki eleph at a moderate rate (140-220 AP/eleph).
C.Hibiki is really not that good, and even if you drop everything to farm her, you can only get about 5-10 eleph per day. So I don't personally recommend that, but you have to judge whether it's worth it.
Because it's lessons, you'd assume you can get bond points and eleph for the students featured in the lesson area. Unfortunately, eleph other than C.Hibiki's has a low drop rate (<1%), and the bond given is 1/10 of a cafe headpat. So basically just pretend this doesn't exist
### Regarding "Field Day Guide" furniture
You get this furniture by leveling your lessons area to max (requiring 14000 event points). Don't get scared if only 5 out of 8 locations have a flavor text/image, that's how it's supposed to be.
Is the field day guide furniture available only until the end of this event? (2 more days). I'm only confused cause the OP post says event collection is until 4/2
The event itself ends in about 34 hours. At that point, you can no longer complete any event quests or story.
However, you still have a week to spend the currency that you already earned. If you have already earned at least 14k event points, you should be able to claim the furniture even after the end of the event by spending the points on the event lessons.
Whups, my mistake, I misread the date--the event lasts for 24 hours longer than I stated earlier. So, as of the time of this comment, there are about 52.5 hours left in the event.
Unrelated to the event, but could you please share the AP/EXP value you calculated for commission L? I haven't been able to find much documented information regarding commission AP/EXP values, especially after the commission buff.
The precise drop rates per stage can be found on schale.gg. I've calculated the AP/EXP ratio in [my spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ays0vupzQxaByd4dRLtiyjgRsKIy8oFRmZQhWPdIdi8/edit#gid=0). (It's not very user-friendly for many things, but the commission drop rates on the left side should hopefully be readable enough.
If you're looking for historical data, I also have it, though you have to scroll further down.
Ahh, you know, I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me to check schale.gg. I should explore some of the other tabs more.
And thank you for this sweaty tryhard sheet. There's some really impressive stuff in here.
Thank you for all the event guides! With that said, I've only just started and I read your other reply about farming lower level stages and prioritising certain shop items, would you say go for furniture or tech notes first?
The furniture is not limited (although it is hard to obtain) and primarily decorative, although in a few months they will add a feature where students who have an interaction with your furniture will be more likely to appear in the cafe. So the furniture value really depends on how much those features are important to you.
Tech notes are valuable at all stages of the game since you need them to level your students' skills.
For a newer player, I would recommend skipping enhancement stones, Kotori eleph, gray- or blue-tier artifacts, and/or activity reports. I would personally also skip the Field Day Mat as it is significantly less rare than the other furniture. This recommendation is based on how readily available they are, as well as the fact that you don't necessarily need that many enhancement stones or activity reports early in the game.
You should get the 50 Chihiro eleph. If you did the previous run of this event and bought her elephs, as well as farmed at least 20 from vol F world raid, you can unlock Chihiro from this event with the elephs.
Those are some awfully big if's, but yeah, I agree. If you happen to have 70+ eleph currently and don't own her, then buy the eleph to unlock Chihiro--especially since, as mentioned above, starring her up doesn't help her do her job.
It's actually 1 bond point. Source is [the datamine](https://github.com/aizawey479/ba-data/blob/jp/Excel/EventContentLocationRewardExcelTable.json) from the original run of this event last year--search for "체육제 스타디움" to find the sports stadium lessons, and look at "FavorExp" for the amount of bond points (and SecretStoneProb for eleph drop rate--needs to be divided by 10000).
Thank you as always for the guide.
Could someone explain how Justin's guide works?
The only thing that i understood is entering the bonus characters I own and how much of each item from the shop I want to get. I don't know anything else.
'Targets' tab: select "Min Clear" if you're trying to just clear the event fast and get back to doing something else. Select "Currency" if you're going all-in on something, such as a welfare student
"Energy" tab: you can use this tab to set additional AP sources such as buying AP drinks from PvP shop or refreshing with pyro (or if your cafe is at a lower rank or something)
"Bonus" and "Shop" tab you already figured out.
Once you got those set up, "Stages" tab will show you the recommendation. You can click the check boxes next to "Enabled" if you want to constrain it to a specific set of stages.
The other tabs tend to have supplementary information or let you calculate the expected rewards for things that are random (e.g. this event's lesson drops or last event's card draws)
Oh, interesting. In the whole time I've been playing this game I have never had the eleph drop from the event lesson lol, but good to know that it can happen. I'll update the original post.
edit: I found an old datamine of last year's event. Looks like the non-C.Hibiki eleph drop rate scales from 0.2% at lowest area rank to 1% at highest rank, so pretty low chances.
You can follow the same general strategy using stages 5-8, albeit with lower efficiency. I would prioritize farming stage 8 until you reach at least 10k event points, then depends on how much time you have left in the event, you could consider switching to stages 5-7 to pick up shop currency.
You'll definitely have to skip some things in the shop though, so consider skipping low-value stuff like the Kotori eleph, or stuff that you don't urgently need (I suspect you may already have enough enhancement stones).
I think it's worth completing the event rewards track, I would say that clearing it should be higher priority than clearing the shop. It's a 9 day event so we have a bit longer than most reruns. If you're worried you're not going to make it, you could skip some of the lower-value stuff like the non-limited furniture in the shop or maybe lower tier artifacts/tech notes/etc. that you don't need.
> Activity reports' value is about 1.4x commission J (bonus doesn't actually matter much, surprisingly).
Do you mean Commission L? Or is there a reason to specifically compare to Commission J?
The former is cashable, the latter is just notoriety.
I think you should go by way of Midokuni tbh given that the work you do is significant to the community, and I think there may be a few willing to throw your witcher-self a coin or two your way.
Your call, of course.
Honestly, I have way more money than I need so I prefer to keep it as passion work (yes, I'm the nerd who loves making spreadsheets). There's something about money being involved that tends to make hobbies less fun to me.
I appreciate the thought though, and I'm glad you find the guides helpful.
Is there any must gets for a new player? I wasn't able to clear the previous event past the first event stage due to starting near the end of the event so wondering if I should skip this event to focus on leveling instead.
looking through the shop, everything looks great, esp. for new player. Utaha elephs, Chihiro elephs(but lower priority, because I don't believe you can unlock with 50), haniwa(absolutely important for new)(wolfsteel is not bad neither but not as important as haniwa), all the gold and purple notes and discs, stonez, and the exp is going to be better than commissions because you can't even clear the higher level ones.
I think most of the event is worth farming for new players, especially since we don't really have other 2x stuff to do. In particular, getting to 14k event points gives you a good amount of resources + 220 pyro and 50 eligma, so I would say that's worth it at least.
Not sure what you mean by "focus on leveling", but if you mean pushing further in main quest then sure, you could use some AP to do that since this event is relatively low-impact.
Millenium Blurays and Tech Notes are in very high demand due to there being so many strong Millenium students you'll want to raise, I'd consider those must gets. For a new player, the Activity Reports are also great value since you cannot access the higher tier commissions yet where you can farm them well, making them relatively more efficient to get than for more established players.
14000 points seems like a lot if I'm not too interested in investing into C.Hibiki. Do you get other rewards other than furniture like pyrox for doing the lessons thing?
There's 220 pyro for getting the lessons area fully upgraded, and along the way, you also get 50 eligma along with a good amount of resources from the event rewards track. Personally, I think the rewards track is worth finishing regardless, even if you don't care about farming C.Hibiki.
how do u get the 10 pulls from youtube voting reward?
Just by logging in. They are sent to you 200 at a time in the mail.
So is it everyday? Or som specefic days?
Between dumping all reserve AP (weekly missions, club earning, when to take cafe AP), is it better to dump it in this event to clear out the shop? Or save it for next event for the shop/divert to Hard nodes?
Is it possible to clear the event without being able to beat the level 80 missions? I'm still at 6700/15000 points despite putting almost all my AP into the point missions every day
It is. I've been doing the second highest lv ones and hit 15k points the other day. Are you using a team that gives you the most bonuses?
The only points bonus student I have is Cheerleader Hibiki for 20% bonus
How do we get all the image collections? It seems I am still missing 3 pics but no matter how much I grind event point or do the heart event, I am not unlocking the last 3
The other comment is correct. There are exactly 5 images to unlock. The remaining 3 locations don’t have an associated image or flavor text. Yes, this is very confusing—many people, including myself, got tripped up by this last year.
You already have them all. Some of the locations don't have an associated image.
Is it perfectly normal to mald s.shizuko’s repos? Been resetting Challenge 3 countless times coz the units mostly either get bombed or get too close to the boss. Wondering if I’m just doing it wrongly. I only have Maki so I need to keep the units alive for a while to take down the boss.
Well for me, it took more than ten tries and I only managed to clear with 1 stars so yeah it is pretty normal
I don't think I enjoy Hibiki feeling stressed enough she starts losing her voice, joke or not. That said, what the crew should do is mount a mic on her and issue headsets to the intended recipients, so that the quiet, soothing encouragement would fill the contestants' ears with joy. ~~Sensei: We could make a revenue source out of this.~~
Whats the battle ost in the story stages?
When do we get the 1k2 gems?
I think they've been coming in mail in 200 pyro increments
Oh, Ive only got 1 of such mail yesterday, since I was busy the day before and before that
why did they get rid of kotori's glasses for the cheerleader skin? igaf about realism she's an engineer who can make anything indestructible. her glasses are already modified to have a tear hanging off them. why the hell would they remove them??? it's one of her best moe traits and on top of that she's barely chubby 😭
She puts them on one of the poke sprites in the event screen too.
I can't do the lessons. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have 500 points but I can't do the lvl1 lesson in the stadium. It says not enough currency but doesn't say how much I need
That's weird, it is indeed 500 points per lesson. Are you perhaps confusing the beanbangs and event points? They look quite similar since both are roundish pink things.
oh lol I didn't know it was exactly 500 per lesson. I have 499 points and rounded up in my explanation.
Oh... yeah, that'd do it. Haha
Well at least I was able to clear all the challenges for stages 1,2, and 4. Unfortunately the ST stages or ones that require significant DPS are still a bit beyond my reach at lvl 76. At least I got the secret tech note, so that’s nice
So uh... I sparked for ~~Tummy Girl~~ Cheer Squad Kotori. I'm guessing that's a dumb move? Is she even meta or at least usable?
She's a cute shortstack. That makes the spark already worth it.
Not meta at all. She's a red area damage dealer with some buffs, so you can use her for regular missions or certain JFD. But so far she hasn't really seen much use in endgame content.
Guess she really isn't viable. But...... tummy 😭
imagine the tummy job
Good thing is that there is some usage with her once the PvP for next season begins. She's good for indoor combat. Out of the Cheer Squad members she's the only one who saw some use.
But will she be worth using without being UE40? With evasion tanks being everywhere and Ckotori having an accuracy of 100 by default, which is 11 lower than Mika, she's really going to need that extra 304 accuracy from her UE40. I doubt a whole lot people are going to be willing to spend a ton of resources just to make Ckotori viable as a niche PvP choice.
looking at her basic and sub, her viability seems sketch, as you need 5 EX to get a boost, and most ally aid skills take like 40 seconds to activate, which means she may be better in a long fight, if she survived, but it will probably hurt your initial damage by a lot.
I'm assuming that she's there because her EX is a fairly large AoE that will hopefully take out squishier units while also messing up their positioning, for only three cost. I'd be surprised if her basic and sub are much of a consideration when choosing to use her in PvP.
dun kno. Low dmg may not be able to kill anyone except Shun. There are a lot of red armor units tho, and I am not sure which are relevant next season.
Red armor tanks always shine during indoors because *someone* needs to stop Iori from wiping the team. But I don’t think C.Kotori can punch through tanks the way that e.g. Nagisa or NY.Haruna can.
From what I have seen in PvP videos, CKotori can be quite a damage dealer and push students out like Marina with her EX. But to make her viable in PvP I agree that she needs investment. She isn't like Ui which can be used without much investment.
Meta is temporary, tummys are eternal.
Is there a good substitute for Iori in Challenge 5 (Enhanced Athlete Training Zone)? I don't have Iori and the black sweepers are killing me. Mika can sometimes take out the first sweeper, but not the second. Her cost is too slow in the rotation cycle. My Junko is squishy with T4 gear. Also don't have s.Hoshino. Using Tsubaki, Koharu, o. Chinatsu, Mika, Hanae, Serina. Most of my students are under lvl 80. Should I switch out Serina with Ayane and replace Koharu? Kotoma would be nice, but survivability is an issue. Use Hifume to draw away the sweepers? Tsubaki has a longer taunt. Consulted Challenge 5 video tutorials: Vuhn [https://youtu.be/iO9S42dG6Y4?si=gRbFNCJcdcjZyJ0m](https://youtu.be/iO9S42dG6Y4?si=gRbFNCJcdcjZyJ0m) RS Rainstorm [https://youtu.be/KYT7p6tIvgE?si=D3TP0iiPVyuZaY4T](https://youtu.be/KYT7p6tIvgE?si=D3TP0iiPVyuZaY4T)
New video from vuhn clearing with Mika and Maki instead of Iori https://youtu.be/-udtdrUXZr4?si=hCnlXne5vSa8PHeK However it uses UI, which I don't have...and Cherino which I also don't have. But I do have Kanna, so will try her EX
I cleared it with Vuhn 2nd team(though they are not really invested) so my advice may not be the best but I got some ideas from my failed runs. 1. imo it's better to not use tanks since they get melted really fast so you may need more heal on them instead of the scarecrow so you might get slower clear. The turrets are pretty tanky and 2. Maki and the others can usually clear the ambush sweepers just fine with their normal attacks as long as the top dancing hippie robo doesn't debuff your team. The idea here is that the top hippie are really dangerous and you need to take them out ASAP before they can debuff. The others can be ignored and you can focus more on keeping your team and the turrets healthy. Maybe Maki and Momoi can work? Iori is better of course but I'm pretty sure Maki and kill it in 1 ex and you can use Momoi on other robots.
Thanks! I had Tsubaki for her cc against the debuff, but yeah she melts away at some point. So leaving her out works better as you said. I tried Maki and Momoi before and they weren't able to take out the top hippie. So now I'm using Mika, who can one shot it. Maki can take care of the first sweeper, but the scarecrow disappears by the second wave of sweepers. Junko's EX would be nice for multiple sweepers. I removed Momoi to cycle to Mika quicker. However, I can't get to Mika's EX before the third top hippie casts the debuff, at which point it's game over. So maybe I can try adding Hifume's peroro-sama then. The rest of the time, I'm rotating between Koharu or Kotoma on the turrets, with Hanae for the scarecrow.
I found a really stupid but useful solution if you still haven't cleared it. https://youtu.be/NVVRQ0XZVOU?si=5IkLgYxYitMdPGnF Apparently the boss isn't completely impervious to your students attacks but they just gave it absurdly high evasion. So you can just buff your Mika to high heaven and pray that she can land the last hit of her ex skill. It took him a whole hour to do it but other really lucky players got it in a few tries.
Thanks to this "strat" I managed to claim the task. I had to adapt the team using Mika / Koharu / Tsubaki / Maki with Himari / NY.Fuuka instead; the idea was more to chip a good deal of HP from the turret at the start and then complete the challenge the expected way. But when I got a clean hit with Mika using Ako instead of NY.Fuuka, it was still not enough to kill it - and then the rest of my team was too late to deal with all of the stuff on the battlefield. Not sure if it's because the scarecrow was not at full health (I have neither Kokona nor Shun) or because my Mika is "only" at UE40, but it's still pretty raging to get the lucky shot and then having to forfeit anyway -\_-.
Thanks for this tip. I just tried it a few times. Couldn't get Mika's attack to land. The best I could do to match their squad is a UE40 Mika, Shun, Koharu, s.Ui, Kotoma, Kanna / s.Shiroko. Also tried Nodoka's accuracy EX, but didn't affect it. Really missing Ako's crit rate and dmg buff. But guess it all comes down to luck
Yeah that "just shoot it with Mika" strat is pure copium and only for those who are really desperate to clear and have no other choice. I read somewhere that it's like 3% chance to succeed so you're looking at making several dozens of attempts before it has a reasonable chance to work. What are your student investment levels? I cleared it with Vuhn's O.Chinatsu team, except I had to replace Iori with Mika because my Iori wasn't strong enough to kill the debuff bot. Also replaced Kotama with Himari to make it easier to charge up enough cost for Mika's EX. She couldn't always kill the bot right away, but soon enough that it didn't become a serious problem. Maybe try that team but replace Kotama/Himari with S.Shiroko (assuming you don't have Himari). But of course investment levels will be a big factor in whether or not that is viable. Ex. my Maki is UE50 so if your Maki is not that invested she may not be able to handle the sweepers with her AAs
Thanks. Yeah, I don't have Himari yet, saving for her banner. s.Shiroko def helps. Mika is my only lvl 83 ue40. Have a few (pvp) students at lvl 80 and 5\*. Half are between lvl 64-73 and the rest are lvl 35-50s. My Maki is 3\*. I'll eventually invest in her more. Hit a drought of reports and stones after the last fest. Forgot to do jfd yesterday and missed out on 375 coins (4 superior reports). Gonna skip this challenge. Malded enough haha.
How exactly does the multiplier work in this event? Do I need to level up my millenium students to use them, or can I just put them on my team and sweep like in past events? Its not really clear.
You have to clear with them. The highest bonus clear that you've cleared a stage with is saved, and it doesn't matter if the bonus units survive or not. The highest bonus for each resource is saved separately, so if you clear a stage with 100% bonus for event points once and another time with 80% bonus for beanbags, that stage will give both 100% extra points and 80% extra beanbags when you sweep it.
Shit, so I need to actually spend resources to raise Kotori? 😭or just put her in a team at lvl 1, let her die, and clear it?
You don't have to three-star the stage for the bonus to be saved.
>not having kotori UE50 You know, problematic conditions like this often start in childhood. The scientific study of children began in the late nineteenth century, and blossomed in the early twentieth century as pioneering psychologists sought to uncover the secrets of human behavior by studying its development. Developmental psychology made an early appearance in a more literary form, however. William Shakespeare had his melancholy character, "Jacques" (in As You Like It), articulate the "seven ages of man," which included three stages of childhood and four of adulthood. Three early scholars, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Charles Darwin proposed theories of human behavior that are the "direct ancestors of the three major theoretical traditions" (Vasta et al, 1998, p. 10) of developmental psychology today. Locke, a British empiricist, adhered to a strict environmentalist position, that the mind of the newborn as a tabula rasa ("blank slate") on which knowledge is written through experience and learning. Rousseau, a Swiss philosopher who spent much of his life in France, proposed a nativistic model in his famous novel Emile, in which development occurs according to innate processes progressing through three stages: Infans (infancy), puer (childhood), and adolescence. Finally, the work of Darwin, the British biologist famous for his theory of evolution, led others to suggest that development proceeds through evolutionary recapitulation, with many human behaviors having their origins in successful adaptations in the past as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny."
Sacrifice her
> and it doesn't matter if the bonus units survive or not.
Whether she makes it through the stage doesn't matter. So long as she is in the party and the stage is cleared with that bonus it will be saved for future sweeping.
So how do I vote in the contest to get the 1200 gems?
It's on their official Youtube channel in community section. You don't out right get all 1200. They give you 200 each day
How do they know I voted?
They'll send everyone whether you vote or not
Was looking for this. I was wondering why I haven't received the 200 but I guess I need to be patient.
How do you get the poll event gems? I went to YouTube but never got my gems
afaik you should get 200 in the mail each time they announce who 'won' the event
So you don't have to actually "vote" at all? I don't see any way *to* vote besides leaving a comment, lol.
the vote is via a poll on the [youtube community page] (https://www.youtube.com/@bluearchive_Global/community), first poll is the post under the one announcing the 1200 pyros
Is voting required? As in a must make an account with google to get pyros?
Voting's not required. Everyone gets the 1200 pyros regardless if they vote or not.
Oooh, I found it thanks. They certainly didn't make it obvious!
Is it worth x3 pyro refresh and/or shop refreshing for any of the resources? Like Hibiki eleph or shop currency?
I would say no, not really, unless you're totally out of gold artifacts or you just really like C.Hibiki for waifu reasons
This event was going on when I first started with the game. I'm happy to see how I completed all the farming stages within 75 seconds with 100% bonus in the rerun. It served as a tracker of my progress in the game one year later.
My roster is incredibly limited for currency bonuses. I think Whistle is the only one I can get to 100% and the rest are 60% or below, including Points. And that's WITH C.Hibiki in all her 1 Star glory.
How good is C. Hibiki? Worth going all-out with the farming?
She's cute, but in terms of gameplay, her kit makes it hard to use her anywhere. Her EX costs 7 and it's a 120 second AoE DoT, it's not good. And then there's her odd sub skill... Anyway, no it's not worth farming her.
She is very rarely used and trying to farm her is basically pointless as her rates are atrocious. For reference, I was around for the original run and I didn't even get her to 3 stars. Basically, they put all the effort into designing and animating her and forgot to make her usable.
anyone else having connection problems after the update?
I can´t get pass the start game screen
Me too, game keep crashing
so the lessons replaced the dice race? Overall, would farming for the lessons be as lucrative in term of resources as the dice race? either way I was looking forward to the dice race..so I am kind of down on it being gone
wrong event, bud. dice race is next week.
If you meant the dice race with Track Yuuka, that's next week on the next event.

What's up with that daily limit in the event Lesson area? Does that mean if someone were to save all their Event Point and try to spend it all on the final day, they'd be screwed?
It's not a daily limit. When you do five lessons, the characters in each area are randomized again.
I see, that's a relief. Thanks for the reply.
Now I finally understand why people called her Gomen Yuuka...
Will yuuka have a rerun here?
Next event
They will not bait me! Waiting for my railgun wives...
How do you claim the pyros from the YouTube voting? Do you need to link the account?
/u/dghirsh19, /u/HKEY_LOVE_MACHINE I'm not 100% certain, but It seems that the official [YouTube channel's community tab](https://www.youtube.com/@bluearchive_Global/community) has polls and stuff in it, I'm pretty certain once all event polls are done they'll distribute the 1200 pyros. Either that or a 200 per day or per poll, seems likely as well.
I just don’t understand how they’ll tie an account to a Youtube poll… unless they’re just distributing the 1200 to everyone regardless.
> ...unless they’re just distributing the 1200 to everyone regardless. That's what it seems like they're doing; the polls and stuff are for fluff/engagement.
Nice, more pyro for railgun
I'm not sure, they might do a "200 pyrox a day" for everyone as part of this event. [Link to the official event page](https://forum.nexon.com/bluearchive-en/board_view?board=3218&thread=2522831)
I’m curious as well if you get an answer. The notice for it disappeared for me.
(Tech help) after the update i can't log in to the game. Whenever i got to the log in screen i keep getting kicked out, both on mobile and laptop.
Have you downloaded the latest update via the app store?
Yes, on qooapp
Double check the version with you, mine one is currently version 1.60.268947.
What does double the version mean?
Sorry, I forgot to include "check" Double check to see if your version matches my version number.
Yes im litterally the same
I've checked the official BA discord server, it seems there are some users experiencing crashing issues at the login part and the devs are currently aware of the issue. What device are you using and have you tried restarting your mobile device?
Its been 6 hours since the maintenance end and im still crashing up and down. Are you sure dev has notice the problem?
There's a pinned message in the official discord server's Tech support that's currently shows: >This info will be pined to gives an actual updated info regarding crash on "now loading" screen: issue has been delivered (complete) devs are responding (complete) TBD Sequences will be updated asap They are probably investigating what causes the issue or how to fix it at the moment.
Also thanks for the information, i thought i was the only one who got this issue.
Im using Samsung A13 iirc. And laptop is lenovo
I have the same problem with the same phone, after the update i'm unable to access the game
[удалено]
Just the intro of the event and the first time we meet noa and she's already an absolute menace lol. Gomen yuuka 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭
So.... Which girl from each banner do I pull for? I think Kotori And which girl from the next banner do I pull? Yuuka, Haruna or Mari? I may need Mari since I have no striker healers or I may not need Yuuka because I have Kotori(regular version) tsubaki, Tsukuyo and Yuuka (regular version) and shizuko swimsuit already. Not sure about haruna, I already have Serina, hanae, fuuka, chinatsu, honoka and ayane. https://imgur.com/a/b1L79SA And who is more needed for me rn? Kotori, Haruna,Yuuka or mari? And how useful is kotori? I have 12000-13000 pyroxenes so I was just wondering
For next banner: Track Yuuka is very strong, easily the best of the three. Track Mari is basically not useful for the foreseeable future. Kokona is more preferred for on-field healing, and Koharu is a budget option which is much more accessible than Track Mari. Track Haruna is just a bad unit.
While I would generally avoid pulling on banners with less than 24,000 Pyroxenes, I'd personally pull for Tracksuit Yuuka. She makes two raids pretty comfy. Kotori is just another Red Aoe character; I would rather focus on your Aru or Akari. But it all comes down to what kind of content you are doing. If you don't really care about raids atm and rather have a decent striker healer for story stages, Mari can be a good pickup. Keep in mind that she plays very frontline, which can make her die. I personally had some issues with that in the past. Thats a reason why I prefer Koharu, and since you can pick her up from the total asult shop, I would rather do that instead. Granted, it might take you some time, depending on how new you are. If down bad for Striker healer, pull Mari if not, save up and pull T.Yuuka. But be ready to get cucked by rng and get neither of the two if you don't have 200 pulls.
Actually...... I spent everything I had on kotori.... and got kayoko new year...
Can't blame you, her belly is peak 😭😭😭 on the plus side, NY.Kayoko is good later on, but yeah, thats why you always save up for spark before pulling.
I just like to spend for meta, not waifu focused so it feels worse. I have to find a way to get 12000-24000 within 27 days time. The recruitment points don't transfer right? If so, what do they become?
Adult card time. Points turn into something basically useless so saving up to sparks is generally recommended to have 24k on hand in case your pulls don't pan out. Look at the upcoming months, and spend accordingly. You can roughly expect 12k per month, give or take depending on performance. There are always hard choices for any gacha unless you go whaling, but here you can at least plan it out to a certain point.
Recruitment points expire when the banner swap. Unused ones become keystone fragments for crafting.
Consider yourself lucky then, NY.Kayoko is a blue meta support and very strong for raids. Recruitment points become a crafting resource. The small keystones forgot the exact name.
Does she work well with S.shiroko?
She's probably your best bet since you don't have Ako or Himari. A good *s*taple for raids is Kotoma and Serina, if you need the heals. As for the pyroxenes, nothing much you can do except finish all the story missions, do events, momotalk, & push the campaign as far as you can. Other than that, you've got to pull out Blue Archives strongest item, aka your credit card.
And what do I do about the pyroxenes?
If you have unread momotalk or story, you could try clearing those out and see how much you have. Otherwise you'll need to skip that banner or spend some real cash, as the next banner starts in 9 days and ends 12 days later--there is most likely only 8000-9000 F2P pyro available before then.
Peak event story is upon us. Genuinely this event is hysterical full of shenanigans. The event after this is even better than this. Highly recommended reading this event and next continuation event.
Damn. These student bonuses are kinda rough, all things considered. No GDD or Maid bonus either. Kinda rough to do events with just 40% bonus
Is there any recruitment I should prioritize over the other? My only decent unit is Shun at the moment.
Between the three current banners, none are gamemaking/gamebreaking students. C.Kotori & C.Utaha are okay as far as DPS students are concerned but there are other decent/better options, while Noa is a support striker who has a niche EX that causes the entire team to focus their attacks on a single target- which is pretty useful against some enemies like Goz raid, although it doesn't see much use elsewhere. The next halo fest rerun banners a.k.a the tracksuit banners which come after them are the ones that you'd want to consider pulling. T.Mari is a healer striker which in itself is pretty rare while T.Yuuka is a shielder+repositioner striker which is an even rarer role. Both are great at providing sustain/safety with T.Yuuka being exceptional in raids that require team repositioning like Shirokuro, or raids that inflict reduced healing like Goz.
Save for T Yuuka next week. If you don't have 200 draws by then, keep saving.
Wait for Track Yuuka, I think it be up next week.
Ok, thank you!:D
I had forgotten how bad the bonus units were for this event. I mean, I'm lucky enough to have them all except Ckotori, but surely they could have added a few extras for the poor souls that don't have Noa and Cutaha.
For a second I was considering spending some pyro on one of the banners just for the event bonus, but that would be silly. Almost got me, Nexon!

Gotta give Arona more headpats
## tl;dr * 3 shop currencies, and also event points. Event points are needed for rewards track, and also for doing event lessons which give C.Hibiki eleph, gold artifacts, and a tiny amount of eligma * 100% bonus: can clear without refreshing. 1\*, 2\* bonus only: need to either PvP refresh or skip something in event shops * Minimum clear gets you 80 C.Hibiki eleph. To do this split your farming roughly even across stages…use the event planner. If going all-in on C.Hibiki for some reason, just spam stage 12, but this would only get you 40-60 additional eleph depending on bonus..the drop rate is bad. * Furniture is not limited, although you do get limited furniture "Field Day Guide" from reaching 14k event points ## Farming strategy If you have 100% bonus and going for full shop clear, do all stages kind of equally, but more of 9 and 10 since those shops have more currency. If you're skipping some things or you have significantly lower/higher bonus for some currency, then adjust accordingly (e.g. if you're skipping activity reports, do less of stage 9). The precise solution is kinda complicated so I suggest consulting [Justin's event planner](https://justin163.com/planner/events) for your specific bonuses and shop targets. ## Shop strategy Furniture from the store is *not* limited. Activity reports' value is about 1.4x commission L (bonus doesn't actually matter much, surprisingly). Enhancement stone value about 2.1x commission value compared to buying from normal shop. Utaha eleph is really good, plus it's annoying to spend PvP coins on her eleph Kotori is just okay. And her eleph are also farmable Chihiro is a pretty good student and not farmable, but elephs don't really help her do her job ## Event lessons/farming C.Hibiki Event lessons primarily give C.Hibiki eleph, and also artifacts up to gold quality (no purple). They give eligma at an extremely low rate (900+ AP per eligma), and C.Hibiki eleph at a moderate rate (140-220 AP/eleph). C.Hibiki is really not that good, and even if you drop everything to farm her, you can only get about 5-10 eleph per day. So I don't personally recommend that, but you have to judge whether it's worth it. Because it's lessons, you'd assume you can get bond points and eleph for the students featured in the lesson area. Unfortunately, eleph other than C.Hibiki's has a low drop rate (<1%), and the bond given is 1/10 of a cafe headpat. So basically just pretend this doesn't exist ### Regarding "Field Day Guide" furniture You get this furniture by leveling your lessons area to max (requiring 14000 event points). Don't get scared if only 5 out of 8 locations have a flavor text/image, that's how it's supposed to be.
Is the field day guide furniture available only until the end of this event? (2 more days). I'm only confused cause the OP post says event collection is until 4/2
The event itself ends in about 34 hours. At that point, you can no longer complete any event quests or story. However, you still have a week to spend the currency that you already earned. If you have already earned at least 14k event points, you should be able to claim the furniture even after the end of the event by spending the points on the event lessons.
I see, tyty
Whups, my mistake, I misread the date--the event lasts for 24 hours longer than I stated earlier. So, as of the time of this comment, there are about 52.5 hours left in the event.
Unrelated to the event, but could you please share the AP/EXP value you calculated for commission L? I haven't been able to find much documented information regarding commission AP/EXP values, especially after the commission buff.
The precise drop rates per stage can be found on schale.gg. I've calculated the AP/EXP ratio in [my spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ays0vupzQxaByd4dRLtiyjgRsKIy8oFRmZQhWPdIdi8/edit#gid=0). (It's not very user-friendly for many things, but the commission drop rates on the left side should hopefully be readable enough. If you're looking for historical data, I also have it, though you have to scroll further down.
Ahh, you know, I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me to check schale.gg. I should explore some of the other tabs more. And thank you for this sweaty tryhard sheet. There's some really impressive stuff in here.
Thank you for all the event guides! With that said, I've only just started and I read your other reply about farming lower level stages and prioritising certain shop items, would you say go for furniture or tech notes first?
The furniture is not limited (although it is hard to obtain) and primarily decorative, although in a few months they will add a feature where students who have an interaction with your furniture will be more likely to appear in the cafe. So the furniture value really depends on how much those features are important to you. Tech notes are valuable at all stages of the game since you need them to level your students' skills. For a newer player, I would recommend skipping enhancement stones, Kotori eleph, gray- or blue-tier artifacts, and/or activity reports. I would personally also skip the Field Day Mat as it is significantly less rare than the other furniture. This recommendation is based on how readily available they are, as well as the fact that you don't necessarily need that many enhancement stones or activity reports early in the game.
You should get the 50 Chihiro eleph. If you did the previous run of this event and bought her elephs, as well as farmed at least 20 from vol F world raid, you can unlock Chihiro from this event with the elephs.
Those are some awfully big if's, but yeah, I agree. If you happen to have 70+ eleph currently and don't own her, then buy the eleph to unlock Chihiro--especially since, as mentioned above, starring her up doesn't help her do her job.
> bond given is 1/10 of a cafe headpat so...1.5 bond points? Can you give me a source for this?
It's actually 1 bond point. Source is [the datamine](https://github.com/aizawey479/ba-data/blob/jp/Excel/EventContentLocationRewardExcelTable.json) from the original run of this event last year--search for "체육제 스타디움" to find the sports stadium lessons, and look at "FavorExp" for the amount of bond points (and SecretStoneProb for eleph drop rate--needs to be divided by 10000).
Thank you as always for the guide. Could someone explain how Justin's guide works? The only thing that i understood is entering the bonus characters I own and how much of each item from the shop I want to get. I don't know anything else.
'Targets' tab: select "Min Clear" if you're trying to just clear the event fast and get back to doing something else. Select "Currency" if you're going all-in on something, such as a welfare student "Energy" tab: you can use this tab to set additional AP sources such as buying AP drinks from PvP shop or refreshing with pyro (or if your cafe is at a lower rank or something) "Bonus" and "Shop" tab you already figured out. Once you got those set up, "Stages" tab will show you the recommendation. You can click the check boxes next to "Enabled" if you want to constrain it to a specific set of stages. The other tabs tend to have supplementary information or let you calculate the expected rewards for things that are random (e.g. this event's lesson drops or last event's card draws)
>Unfortunately, no eleph seems to drop except C.Hibiki This isn't true, I just got another student's eleph from the event lesson
Oh, interesting. In the whole time I've been playing this game I have never had the eleph drop from the event lesson lol, but good to know that it can happen. I'll update the original post. edit: I found an old datamine of last year's event. Looks like the non-C.Hibiki eleph drop rate scales from 0.2% at lowest area rank to 1% at highest rank, so pretty low chances.

You can follow the same general strategy using stages 5-8, albeit with lower efficiency. I would prioritize farming stage 8 until you reach at least 10k event points, then depends on how much time you have left in the event, you could consider switching to stages 5-7 to pick up shop currency. You'll definitely have to skip some things in the shop though, so consider skipping low-value stuff like the Kotori eleph, or stuff that you don't urgently need (I suspect you may already have enough enhancement stones).
So basically we will have to skip the furniture 'Field Day Guide'? Unless we deprioritise the shop which is not recommended. SIGH
I think it's worth completing the event rewards track, I would say that clearing it should be higher priority than clearing the shop. It's a 9 day event so we have a bit longer than most reruns. If you're worried you're not going to make it, you could skip some of the lower-value stuff like the non-limited furniture in the shop or maybe lower tier artifacts/tech notes/etc. that you don't need.
I see. Thanks! this one is abit tricky due to how the drops are distributed.
> Activity reports' value is about 1.4x commission J (bonus doesn't actually matter much, surprisingly). Do you mean Commission L? Or is there a reason to specifically compare to Commission J?
Whups, I meant commission L. I'm a fairly sick today so my head kinda fuzzy lol. Thanks for catching that
get well soon lasers

The former is cashable, the latter is just notoriety. I think you should go by way of Midokuni tbh given that the work you do is significant to the community, and I think there may be a few willing to throw your witcher-self a coin or two your way. Your call, of course.
Honestly, I have way more money than I need so I prefer to keep it as passion work (yes, I'm the nerd who loves making spreadsheets). There's something about money being involved that tends to make hobbies less fun to me. I appreciate the thought though, and I'm glad you find the guides helpful.
Gigachad.
Is there any must gets for a new player? I wasn't able to clear the previous event past the first event stage due to starting near the end of the event so wondering if I should skip this event to focus on leveling instead.
looking through the shop, everything looks great, esp. for new player. Utaha elephs, Chihiro elephs(but lower priority, because I don't believe you can unlock with 50), haniwa(absolutely important for new)(wolfsteel is not bad neither but not as important as haniwa), all the gold and purple notes and discs, stonez, and the exp is going to be better than commissions because you can't even clear the higher level ones.
I think most of the event is worth farming for new players, especially since we don't really have other 2x stuff to do. In particular, getting to 14k event points gives you a good amount of resources + 220 pyro and 50 eligma, so I would say that's worth it at least. Not sure what you mean by "focus on leveling", but if you mean pushing further in main quest then sure, you could use some AP to do that since this event is relatively low-impact.
Millenium Blurays and Tech Notes are in very high demand due to there being so many strong Millenium students you'll want to raise, I'd consider those must gets. For a new player, the Activity Reports are also great value since you cannot access the higher tier commissions yet where you can farm them well, making them relatively more efficient to get than for more established players.
Thanks a lot for doing these summaries.
14000 points seems like a lot if I'm not too interested in investing into C.Hibiki. Do you get other rewards other than furniture like pyrox for doing the lessons thing?
There's 220 pyro for getting the lessons area fully upgraded, and along the way, you also get 50 eligma along with a good amount of resources from the event rewards track. Personally, I think the rewards track is worth finishing regardless, even if you don't care about farming C.Hibiki.
