Posting some more Blue Archive-related art

>>793596 Can I play it on PC? I don't have a spy-stick at the moment.

>>793603 It's definitely playable on any iOS or Android emulator of your choice. Don't ask me for opinions on emulators because I am inexperienced on them.

Best girl. I do not care she has no relevance in the story aside from the prologue (and her relationship story); Suzumi is the best girl. Kayoko too.

>>793596 > hit new(ish) game No. >taking the mobile gaming world by storm No, and fuck off and die.

>>793650 As someone with unpopular tastes, what is it you see in Suzumi? I am a Misaki man, myself. I like the idea of giving a gloomy, suicidal girl like her a reason to live and be happy again through love and sex I actually like all the Arius girls, but Misaki especially

I can't play this game after the prologue, after i start the game on my phone it says there is a 4gb update and when i try to install it it says there is not enough space (even though i have 30gb of free space) Error 80103 and there is no solution for this.

The amount of issues this game has is unbelievable, have fun dealing with errors with no solution.

>>793712 Okay so it works on BlueStacks more than my actual phone, and i was able to install the a update.

It's a shame that their boobs don't jiggle on the student screen only on their chibi battles.

>>793715 >have fun dealing with errors with no solution But I deal with my life every day.

>>793753 God doesn't make mistakes.

I love the cripple

>>793596 I'm all for lolis but gacha and mobile games are cancer

>>793775 Then how come you're still alive, nigger?

>>793845 Mind explaining your reasoning or are you just repeating what you've been told?

>>793872 Most mobile games are trash (95%+), this is a mobile game, ergo, this has a very high probability of being trash. I'm willing to give it a try but most anons don't want to waste their time.

>>793872 They cater to the lowest common denominator, and thrive on retards willing to shill money for cosmetics and digital items which translates to big money for the company and that translates to pc and console developers inserting the same tactics for full priced games just to get a cut of retards like you. > B-BUT YOU CAN JUST GRIND FOR HOURS AND GET THE SAME

>>793848 Even the most low iq retard with no limbs has the potential to live a fulfilling life with Godly purpose.

>mobile gacha weebshit You deserve nothing in this life but being beat into submission daily. Vile fucking creature that you are.

>>793596 >mobage >gacha mobage >Korean gacha mobage Kill yourself immediately, OP. I heard the girls aren't even good either. Such as one of them is an actual, literal terrorist who tries to kill you by bombing a church, and you're forced to cuck out and save her instead of making her face justice. I want to fuck that nigger, Karin, though. The only good aspect to this trash's existence is porn.

>>793596 This game is bad You are bad You should feel bad I haven't even paid anything to anyone but the sheer fact of me reading this has taken time away from me. Faggot.

>>793875 >>793876 Sounds just like a bunch of generalizations to me, and keep in mind that the gameplay can be good and fun even if there are microtransactions. Would Quake 2 be any lesser of a game if it had microtransactions in it like giving your player character a hat? Would Deus Ex be any worse of a game if it let you buy DLC of a different pair of sunglasses for JC?

>>793596 >gachashit Neck yourself, subhuman faggot. >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbut le cute girl- Only good for fapping. Die.

>>793943 Gachashit is BUILT AROUND MICROTRANSACTIONS, ape, restrictions included. They're all inherently broken and no amount of JPEGs I could whack off to elsewhere will ever fix that. Fuck them for contributing to the death of VNs as well, but that's an aside.

>kuso mobage Please have some standards. This isn't Cuckchan or Leddit.

>>793694 Her design really picked my interest while playing the first time, the wing on her head and that mole under her eye are mad cute. Under her serious vigilante facade she's a really nice and caring person that took it upon herself to defend Trinity from thugs, and her story revolves around her making an effort to be more relaxed and close to Sensei on a personal level, while dealing with her duties as a vigilante, like when she asked Sensei out to patrol the amusement park just because she was nervous of being seen alone up in the ferris wheel. I like how she is self-conscious about how people may perceive her at first glance, that's something she shares with Kayoko (without the nervousness part obviously, Kayoko gives zero fucks) which is another character I like. I love her "flashbang girl" gimmick too. I haven't found much use for her in battle aside from Bounties (Stun EX against the Kaitenger's specials, paired with Ui I can spam flashbangs anytime) and filling a space in some missions with light-armor enemies, but I plan on maxing her out to see what she's capable of. I just like characters that do goofy dork shit but also have a cool side, like Ui (Deciphers old texts and wanted to be penpals with Sensei), Utaha (takes her job seriously, proud creator of the optical camo underwear, whatever that is) and Hibiki (another creator of bizarre gadgets, studies psychology in her free time to understand human emotions better) >Arius Haven't finished Chapter 3 yet so I don't know much about the Arius girls but their story seems really interesting; I'm salty that Suzumi hasn't appeared yet since the chapter takes place in Trinity. >>793943 >Quake 2 with microtransactions Ew no, leave Quake out of this. give me Quake V already goddamnit >>793947 >built around microtransactions Shame but true, it would be nice if I didn't have to grind the fuck out of the game just to progress further into the story. Not a big fan of VNs since I don't know much about that genre but Blue Archive suits my needs since it builds it's characters with side stories aside from the main campaign and also has a little gameplay involved.

>>794405 How did you get their chibi forms to dangle? or is that not ingame?

>>794561 Every BA character (except for the Special/backline ones) have a drag/dangle animation. Vid related shows them all (from a year ago) https://inv.odyssey346.dev/watch?v=K-pmXqqqT4E

>>794561 You can pick them up in the Unit Formation screen before starting a mission https://yewtu.be/watch?v=BXevMu0eY9A

How the fuck are you supposed to use Haruka? "Tank" my ass, bitch just runs right into battle and doesn't have any serious defense at all, she gets fried unless you baby her with heals/barriers.

>>794596 You are supposed to 5* and now probably UE40 her to make her usable. Her role as a tank, is that at she can withstand Iori's attacks at max rank in PVP. That and the fact that she can murder Iori when she uses her EX at max level, basically she is her counter and since everyone is using Iori you see her almost as often. That's why you see her in competitive PVP, though there are other options, like a 3* Marina to doge her attacks. Speaking of which, the thing that I find interesting with this gatcha is that even 1* characters have their use and are meta, as long as you farm to make them into 3* or 5*, such as Serina and Chinatsu for healing, Kotoma was for a long time a must pick for her attack buffs, Pinah at 5* is a good pick for Binah. Then there are the "welfare" students you get for some events RIP new players such as Fubuki for Hod, Shizuko for ShiruKuro Insane, S.Izumi for Kaiten Phase 1, though I have never seen her used, but I did see Michiru in ShiruKuro Insane. Anyway, the true pleasure from this pseudo-gambling game, are not the waifus, not the gameplay, not the story but in planning out your draws to maximize the amount of meta characters you get. Since the game is still a few months behind the Korean one, we know exactly what characters are going to be released and how good they are, so you can plan your draws, months in advance. Then when you do get a banner, you do a risk/reward calculation and know that at 40 draws (about the amount of draws you get during the banner, if you get Platinum in TotalAssault and rank top 100-200 in PVP, like I do) with a 3% draw chance, you have a 70% of getting a 3* character, but no guarantee to get the one from the banner. The question is how much are you willing to risk it, and do you have enough gatcha currency, that you didn't pay for, in reserve for two sparks in case of an emergency?

>>794625 If all that mattered was gacha planning then FGO is better because you get two years advance notice.

>>794631 Well I did play Granblue for about two and a half years and had to quit because of all the grind and how it became like a second job. I was in an A Tier crew so all those raids were dreadful for me. The only dreams I had about that game, were not about the waifus or the story, but of me sitting there, grinding the same boss over and over. BA, on the other hand really respects my time, and now I can't go back to that era of mobage, which I am sure FGO is also part of.

>>794636 Newer mobage aren't nearly as greedy about time as older mobage, so that's true. Anyway I'm only playing BA for whenever Kisaki becomes available.

I try to play this game, but my phone is garbage so it didnt work (overheating and low fps), now i just watch his porn and sometimes read the history (i dont understand it at all)

>>794647 >(i dont understand it at all) While the game tries to have it's DEEPEST LORE moments with all the Bible and Early Christian history(like Arius and the Ecumenical Councils), it's mostly a silly premise in which girls are bullet proof and and carry assault rifles, with hobbies such as eating ice-cream, buying clothes and going to the beach with the School's Tank or Helicopter. In the international version there isn't that much history and lore presented, so it's mostly Vaati tier speculations. It's not even clear if Kivotos is some sort of afterlife or purgatory or why (You) are the only adult in that world.

yeah, "video game" my ass this thread is a porn dump, nothing else

>>794653 <only 3 posts out of 39 have porn in them >porn dump

>>794649 Don't forget the Jewish lore, like with Gematria and the Kabballah

>>795071 The kabbalah is fucking awesome, it really helped me realize what was going on in my life and what I needed to do in order to engage with my hobbies. It's essentially esoteric jewish mindfulness, Mark would really benefit from it.

>>795074 Mind giving me a primer on it? How exactly does it improve one's life?

>>795074 Any good way to read it? Do you have a pdf or something anon?

>>795092 >>795104 There's a ton of books on it I can recommend, but as a primer you can simply give a listen to this old jew talk about life experience, wisdom and the human consciousness. It's a very good channel, and it's very enlightening, if you keep an open mind you'll really get a lot from it. You can get similar things from buddhist channels if you are not into jews talking, though this man delivers his content in a very strong way. https://yewtu.be/AWSOwdY519c

>>795178 So it's similar to Buddhist philosophy? >You can get similar things from buddhist channels if you are not into jews talking If I cared about stupid shit like that I wouldn't ask for recommendations on how to get into Kabbalah.

>>795183 Similar on a surface level, but it's less vague in terms of spirituality and closer to being direct advice from man to man, but like buddhism it does teach you how to have more compassion for you just without the bullshit.

>>795186 How does it compare to Nietzchean thought?

>we can all stick together in the same club I've had this sitting on my phone for a while. If I get a bit further in, I'd be game to join something.

>>795189 Less Nietzche, more Carl Jung, I assumed you gave him a listen already, he is very unpretentious and level headed compared to your hollywood jew.

>>795259 >Hollywood Jews I think you mean any person involved in Hollywood. They're all pretentious shitheads regardless of their religion/race/sexuality etc.

>>795213 The club's chat doesn't just censor words like fag or kike or ass(which means I can't even write Total Assault, an in-game term), but also random groups of two letters, so some student names are censored as well. It's barely usable, so you will be resigned to only post emoticons.

>>795277 >(which means I can't even write Total Assault, an in-game term So it went full Scunthorpe? That's disappointing. Reminds me of Dark Souls 2 with all the characters named Black_K***ht

>>795277 Luckily it doesn't censor Japanese words, so JPT anons can work around it.

Here is the projected banner list in case anyone needs a reason to start saving up

I really hope everyone is just here for the lewds, and you aren't seriously playing and discussing gachashit.

>>799682 The porn is the icing on the cake that is the gacha's serviceable gameplay. Whats de ploblem?

>>799626 I was using stokie's pic, but that one is much better. >>799682 I like the planning aspect of the metagame of calculating when to draw and how much gatcha currency you will have at that point, as well as establishing risk thresholds of how much you are willing to spend, for the banner if you don't plan on sparking. It's how I am in the top 100-200 in PVP and top 2000 in the raids as a F2P. The story is also nice, but the girls are just a side-dish.

>>799695 >Gachashit >Serviceable >Serviceable gameplay is a cake, and not a dinner gone cold You are what's wrong with the industry.

>>799764 You say that without irony despite many people here (possibly you as well) loving games like Lisa: The Painful and its sequel even though the gameplay is boilerplate at best, like all RPGmaker games are. Same for fans of Morrowind despite the outdated DnD mechanics, same for many other games, especially visual novels with video game components such as Rance Quest. Nobody expects the gameplay to be the impetus behind choosing a visual novel. If it's serviceable like most of the Rance games or excellent like Sengoku Rance then so much the better.

>>799771 The major difference is that the games you listed do not employ psychological tricks(FOMO, sunken cost, premium currency packs that are always just a bit more than you need, to either make you buy the next tier or have some to waste) to make you spend as much money as possible on the skinner box with an anime paint coat. Also that with those games you can play the entire story whenever you want, whereas here, unless you participate in the event exactly when it takes place, you will miss it out, and the only option is to watch it on jewtube.

>>799784 But do the psychological tricks, as you say, subtract from the game's experience? Correct me if I am wrong but the story and events are the same whether you have the latest gacha character or not. You have a point on the events being time limited but MMOs have the same shit, and in a mobage's defense, usually they make the events permanently accessible in some way for new and old players after the game has been out for a few years and the reruns have occurred. See: Granblue Fantasy, Fate/Grand Order

>>799829 >But do the psychological tricks, as you say, subtract from the game's experience? From the overall satisfaction and experience of the user, I would say yes, but I guess it depends on how you interact with the skinner box. If you think of it as a VN, and don't engage with the PVP and PVE, then you are missing out of content by not getting all the students, as they have between 3 to 6 stories with the main character. Even worse when characters are from a limited banner and there is no guarantee that they will ever have a rerun, the Miku banner will probably become such an example. Imagine a Free Visual Novel that has a main story with a large cast of characters, but if you wanted to play the side-story with your waifu, then you would need to pay 20 bucks for the DLC that adds 10 minutes of content. people would normally be enraged by this, but with a gatcha they are ok. The only difference is that with a gatcha you can "earn" the currency, and that 20 bucks isn't enough to guarantee your waifu, it's just to do a 10 draw in the game, so about 400 bucks for a guaranteed spark(more than the price of a new Switch console and a game bundled with it). >See: Granblue Fantasy GBF has plenty of events that are still not, and probably never will be available for the new players, such as the Detective Conan and Street Fighter IV crossovers(the SFIV giving you a unique skin for the MC) among other corssovers, some of the Auld Lang Syne events, Reflections for a White Clover(last "aired" in 2018) as well as events that will never be done again, because of how unpopular they were such as Defense Order which offered a unique skin that can not be received any other way. If you play it for the gameplay, then stop, there are better games out there and again you will be missing out if you don't pull as many characters as possible. The best way to experience it, is like I do, ignore waifus, become a meta slave, use knowledge of future banners as well how meta the characters will become, plan your gatcha currency gains weeks in advance, have at least two sparks of premium currency saved, do some risque reward calculations whenever there is a banner, basically min maxing a game in "Iron Mode"(if you waste 10 draws they are gone forever, no way to quickload or manipulate the RNG) doing baby's first spreadsheet simulator, and be in the top 2000 in raids and top 200 in PVP for optimal gatcha currency gain. However, even this has it's limits, as a new player it will be impossible for you to catch up to someone like me who started in the second month the game got released internationally, and even if you were to whale hard and throw thousands of dollars, I would still be at an advantage with limited characters such as S. Azusa that you will probably never get, or S. Hoshino which will be available again in a few months, months in which you will not be able to compete in the red raids for Platinum. >inb4 I like to fap to these girls Then don't touch this shit, just watch some vids on jewtube and look at the dozens of fan pics each one has.

>>799771 >Posting censored porn under a spoiler >>799829 >But do the psychological tricks, as you say, subtract from the game's experience? Yes. It's fucking no brainer the gacha mechanics ingrained into the game have a negative effect on gameplay. You'd have to be retarded to think otherwise. >MMOs have the same shit I hate MMOs, and in large part for similar reasons.

The stupid scribble that represents the player self-insert character hampers the porn. Other gacha end up looking dumb too, like Arknights' Doctor keeping his helmet on during sex, but even that's not as bad or distracting as a post-it note with a gang of niggersish scribble over the guy's face. >but anon, you're not supposed to look at the guy in porn The scribble draws attention to it.

>this thread reminds me blue archive exists and swimsuit hina is up for grabs so I pull for her a few times and get both the boosted characters one after the other along with another random 3 star dupe did you know theres a direct correlation between having shit luck and being butthurt at gacha games?

>>800088 (checked)

>>794405 Kayokofags are eating good tonight

free stuff Also the fitness event begins on 4/25, earlier than predicted.

Censored mobile shit but by god I want to fuck the chocolate bunny girl.

>>804291 >Censored mobile shit It is shit, but is no longer censored. The only censored scene that existed in the international version, namely Alice Aris' chest has been restored, at least in the R-18 version which was done to avoid future censorship, both from the West and from the feminist that still hold power in Worst Korea.

>>804291 >censored ?

>Blue Archive Finally, a good thread here <Also What was the matter with the Shiroko Alter and all of that? The president of the student council has finally been revealed/appeared?

>>804329 That's in the Korean version, the international version will get that story in about 3-6 months.

To dispel the notion that this thread is just a porn dump, I will post actual gameplay footage of my runs of the last and current Total ASSault raids barely distinguishable from what you find on jewtube, because the fate of all meta slaves is that they all act and do the same things. First webm is Hieronymus Insane with a borrowed S. Nonomi. It took me a few tries, and at fist I wasn't able to do Insane, but after changing Hot Springs Nodoka for Serina it became doable. At first I thought hat by having the ATK buff and area effect heal, that it would increase my student's survivability, but I guess with Serika, the fact that she double heals and has a lower cost of 2, made it much better, even a the cost of lower attack. With that I had 5 sources of healing, and it was mostly RNG on who would get hit by the boss' attacks. Second webm, is for the current TA, Kaiten Insane with a borrowed Aru. While I do have one, at UE30, she needs to be at least UE40 and at Affection 25 to be very effective in this raid, but in about 4 months I should have her up to UE40 as well(yes, 4 months, this game requires long term planning for proper min-maxing) so I won't need to borrow her anymore. On the flip-side, I had to spend most of my Gehena mats on Haruka in order for her to have enough HP to tank. As for the battle, I had a great phase 1, even though Mutsuki wasn't propelry placed so only one of her three mines hit the red ranger, but I made up for it with a lucky critical shot from Aru which ended the fight quickly, otherwise I would have had to spend 3 extra skill points on Haruka to finish the fight. I didn't do that well on Phase 2, the robot activated his shield, I panicked a bit when I lost Aru, but in the end still managed to wi the fight with only one team. Not my best run, but I don't need anything better to be in the top 2000(currently rank 666). Now, is the gameplay good? Fuck no, while there is some skill involved in using the right skill at the right time, and even if you have a so called "over-powered" student, victory is not guaranteed, the gameplay isn't all that complex, and you are better off playing something better that doesn't hide content behind a slot machine.

>>806280 Nice gameplay, I'm only at level 67 so Kaiten past Hardcore is impossible for me, even with a "meta" setup. I was able to beat Hieronymus' Extreme with a friend's Nonomi since I have some great Explosive students and the full Arius crew.

>Mobileshit >Gachashit >Blatant shilling Spiderman thread it is.

>>806650 Spiderman is never late. WHO ARE YOU IMPOSTER?

>>806684 He was probably busy derailing wincest threads on another board.

>>806650 Oh hell yeah.

>>806650 This is now a wincest thread

Anyone currently saving up for the Sportswear Yuuka or Mari? Their banners should launch on the last week of this month. Both limited. I fear I may get baited by Bunny Neru coming next week.

>>808229 Loli shun spooked me, but to be honest she isn't anywhere near my favorite student. That honor goes to Himari

>>808227 >>808229 Don't get baited by bunnies.... Sports Yuuka is really useful for future content. Sports Mari isn't that important so could be skipped, especially if you already have Kokona. And then there's the fact that not having a saved spark to guarantee Himari might as well be a death sentence because is used in every single stage the game has.

>>808371 >Don't get baited by bunnies.... B.Karin is decent for Perodzilla, especially if you have Ui and I have both. Thankfully I do have two spark funds for both S Mari and Himari, in case I get extremely unlucky? >Sports Mari isn't that important so could be skipped, especially if you already have Kokona. Is it that important, when I can do Hiero Insane with one team, without any of them? I am sure it will help when the Torment raids will roll out, but I am not masochistic enough of doing those as soon as they come.

>>808374 >B.Karin is decent for Perodzilla Yeah but you're not using your 3* Karin, you will be borrowing a UE50 one from a whale. Especially with the friend feature and all. >Insane Yeah, Kokona helps a LOT for both outdoors and Indoors. Sports mari also helps a lot but is sadly inferior to Kokona. Koharu comps and other stuff are suffering and objectively way inferior to anything a Kokona comp or Smari comp can do.

>>808378 >Yeah but you're not using your 3* Karin, you will be borrowing a UE50 one from a whale. Especially with the friend feature and all. Good point, now that we have a friend system. Back when the banner first appeared, I couldn't trust the other guild members to whale, so I kinda had to get her. I initially regretted having to skip S Nonomi and Kazusa, in order to build my two spark funds, but now that I think about it, it was a good decision, as it's easier and better to just borrow them from one of my whale "friends". Speaking of UE50, the decision of going over 5* infuriated me to no end when it got introduced.and I know there are two more levels for them to release in the future. I get that it's to make the power-gap between whales and F2Ps as high as possible, that doesn't mean it's not jewish. "Oh, but you can grind those mats", well first of all, not all students can be grinded especially the new ones, and second of all, for something like the Hard missions that's about 1 Eleph per day. So if the next rank will require 240 eleph, that's about 8 months before you get enough eleph for that student, unless the student has 2 seperate Hard misisoins, in which case it's only 4 moths. Thankfully it still hasn't been introduced in Korea, as far as I know, and hopefully there will be enough of a pushback, for Nexon to double think before introducing the next weapon level. >Koharu comps and other stuff are suffering and objectively way inferior to anything a Kokona comp or Smari comp can do. Well, at 4* she is doing fine for indoor Insane, coupled with Ako and Serina, enough for a one team clear.

>>808401 Sadly, new weapon levels at this point are a given. Why? Its sort of like what happened with that Final Fantasy MMO. Whales and super high level players are whining about more challenge which the normal casual players probably will not achieve. They added a torment difficulty to raids which is genuinely nearly impossible without 6 full fucking teams, all specifically chosen for that specific raid boss. As if Insane wasnt hard enough and doesnt already require maxed out meta students. Don't forget about the bond level 20 items for certain students, which will surely be a thing for every student eventually. The torment shit and PvP autism wouldnt worry me so much if they weren't going to lock me out of getting platinum and thus more pyroxenes, since I have shit luck and this game is boring as fuck when you're forced to save for specific meta students because rolling on "bait banners" is not viable for someone like me who records all his rolls in the game and is currently at roll #170 across multiple banners without getting the student on pickup, and only about 2 3* students within those 170 rolls (both of which were students I dont care about or are dupes)

>>808401 >Serina Nah. Serina is dead. Your support slots are basically locked to Ako/Himari now and forever after her release or NYFuuka/Himari. Maybe global will be casual enough to allow any ins clear to plat but Hiero was pretty competitive in JP because Insane is basically the new EX with how it's pretty easy to just sneeze on the boss and kill it. >>808406 So far torment seems mostly for the top tryhards. Maybe it'll be doable in a few months and the meta will shake again but it's an insane life for most of us until Torment becomes actually doable for the F2Plebs.

>>808406 I get that they are a given, considering how it's already part of the UI, that doesn't mean I won't dread the moment it gets introduced. >Don't forget about the bond level 20 items for certain students That one isn't a problem, the problem is the upgrade that requires a bond level of 25, which means at least UE30 and giving the student a ton of gifts and head pats to reach that level. The level 25 upgrade plus UE40 is what made Aru truly viable for Kaiten. >>808410 I am sure that global is more casual than the JP one, on the other hand platinum in global is top 2000 vs the top 10000 in JP. On the bright side, I heard they are going to increase platinum requirements from top 10k to top 15k, to make it easier for newcomers, so hopefully that means Global will go from top 2000 to top 3000 as well.

This time I didn't bother with the Insane raid, as those raids require too much of an investment in the Blue students. Last couple of blue raids, I had a lot of problems, in that while I still got Platinum, I would end in rank 1900-1800 so I would do daily projection calculations to make sure I would still get in top 2000, to ease my nerves. Thankfully now I am in a good place, and will comfortably be in Platinum. As for the battle itself, there is not much to say, as it is just Extreme. Surprisingly Iroha is sometimes more viable than B.Karin, reason why I use Ako's Crit buff on her, rather than B.Karin on some occasions. While I am sure I could spend a lot of time to calculate and time everything right, honestly I don't need it. Maybe I could also do Insane, if I throw every single student at it, with 10 teams, but I think that is too tedious, I will wait for Himari, before attempting Insane Perorodzilla. I am curios to see what bullshit Goz will bring, thankfully I have 450 draws in reserve, so even with the worst of luck I am guaranteed to get both Himari and Tracksuit Yuuka. Oh yeah, and here is a shitty meme I made for this raid.

>Gachashit >No porn dump

>>812026 I dont have Natsu or Wakamo or Karin or NYMutsuki so I am basically useless in this raid. I have Alice and Iroha but I'm only level 70 so theres only so much I can do. Maybe one day I will actually get gacha luck and get non-dupe students and have a chance at having fun. I doubt I will ever get a PU student again though, I am already well over 200 rolls since the last time I did.

>mfw spent all pyro in cheerleader Utaha, but got nothing >mfw scavenging pyro to pull for any bunny, event ends in 3 days >mfw still no bunny neru, akane or karin >mfw there's another event around the corner and I won't have any pyro by then My patience has a limit. >>812026 I was wondering what would be the best team against peroro. Sadly, aside from Ui I don't have any of those characters yet so I had to improvise with this team haven't got past Very Hard though

>>812233 If you need a good blue, next event has some of the best, particularly Yuuka. I say you should cut your losses with the bunnies and try for her. Are you a part of any club, anon? If you borrow a high-level Iroha you could probably beat Very Hard and even Extreme, despite being level 50.

>>813201 Judging by all the (1)s it's obviously one or two guys samefagging with themselves, same shit as the other gacha threads. I don't get what their motive is here. This thread has 66 IDs, /v/ only has 160 users. I really doubt 44% of the board plays or even knows about this obscure anime-themed slot machine.

>>817164 Agreed. They should make a board for this and keep away from /v/ with their 2 UIP samefaggotry

>>817164 I'm not sure if youre new to this whole imageboard thing but VPNs exist and so does TOR, and I happen to use both. Sometimes simultaneously. Looking at UIDs is not an indicator of thread popularity. And for your information it seems there are 5 BA players on /v/

It is literally a dopamine button type shit and its fucking embarrassing, and adding gambling into the mix just takes advantage of retards like (You).

>>818213 I don't fucking like cookie clicker retard. It is still a game so it still should be allowed to be discussed even if I don't like it.

>>818217 Look nigger, I just clicked "reply" and a visual post you can look at gets made, I guess I'm playing a game right now aren't I? Wow, I guess online discussion of video games is itself a video game!

>>818220 /v/ isn't a set of rules that you use for the purpose of entertainment. It's social media technically. The main purpose is communication, not entertainment. Entertaining ourselves is just something we do on this site. The rules exist to facilitate discussion not to create a game environment. Cookie clicker is a set of rules created to produce a game environment where it is shallow entertainment. This whole discussion is fucking stupid.

>>818225 >he can't look at all the options one has for posts m8, you don't even notice the high score next to your post, nor the possibility for the rare powerup of repeating digits, but you say /v/ itself isn't a video game?

>>817388 Granblue still has the best girls

So Goz came out, and it's shit, I hate his stupid RNG gimmick in the second phase. "Oh but you can just look if he has red cards in that split second of animation to know it's the fake", problem is that it's not all that clear, especially on a phone, and in this fight, I just guessed and got lucky, even with the slow motion. Just look at the webm, at the one in the middle and tell me where the red card is. Last time I did Peroro and though I was safe with that Highscore, but ended up in rank 1945, still Platinum, but too close for comfort. I also noticed that only about 470 did Insane Peroro, and it seems that this will be the same with Goz as well, which is a bit interesting. I am sure there are more whales than that, but I guess they are not as competitive, it most people are tryhard in getting the best Extreme clear. It will be interesting how things will shift when Torment rolls out, if mroe poeple will fell compelled of doing Insane, out of some sort of fear of not making Platinum on Ex alone. I tried doing Insane, as I had the so called meta team, but it was borderline impossible. I could barely clear the first phase with the first team, but would get crushed in the second phase, and just throwing students at it with a 10 team setup doesn't work, so I had to settle for EX this time as well. Thankfully I now have a really good score, so no doubt I will get Platinum. As for strategy, not much to say, it's a simple, but effective combo of just using Ako on T Hasumi, start with Wakamo, then use T.hasumi and if you can still can, use S Izuna. For repositioning, on EX it's better to just use S Shizuko. It's interesting how this welfare student is so meta, as even in Insane she is used in the second phase for repositioning, and I have seen her used in Insane ShiroKuro, Hiero and even Hod. Speaking of meta, looking at what is coming ahead, I can just feel the power creep seeping through this image. If things go like this in a year or two every banner will be "Spark or Die" tier. My fund is about 2 and a half sparks, and will probably get an additional 1.5-2 spark funds when the NY banners will roll, so while I might be safe, if anyone is even thinking of starting out, just don't. Get away as soon as you can, fap to these png if you must, but don't engage with the skinner box. Some of you might be wondering why I am "shilling" so hard for this game. My intentions are not to shill it. In fact if you were to read my other posts(even with changed IDs, I am the only one making blogposts about the raids) I never once said a positive thing about this skinner box, at best I was neutral, and even tried to discourage people from engaging with it. My reasoning for posting these blogposts, is in part to vent, and that if this is a /v/ board it is better to discuss the actual gameplay of this skinner box, instead of just posting porn or other stuff. Like if we are already in deep shit, might as well make it video game related. >>812599 I am the captain of a club, if any fags actually think it's worthwhile, you can join. Club name Yakuza, Club ID 263, it's set on private, so just tell me your ID. No requirements, only to log in once a week. >>818380 Agreed, but I can't go back to that gatcha second job.

>>819759 I'm level 74, and I tried the Extreme raid but I simply can't deal enough damage to Goz - not even with a borrowed maxed out Wakamole. And I don't have enough students to justify going at it with multiple teams. What even is the strategy for Goz on Insane if not even you with max level students at UE30 can do it? Retrying over and over until you get good RNG? Anyways, I truly hope BA makes more middle-ground kind of content and challenges, as stated previously ITT I hate how the game is going in this direction of catering to the 1% of whales who are asking for harder and harder challenges, as if Insane wasn't bad enough. Also releasing these powercreeping meta students back-to-back, and there have been zero 1* or 2* students released unless you count welfares.

>>819825 The image was only about the new banners, this is the list of banners on the jp servers. Keep in mind that on the international servers, everything is compressed so multiple banners will be combined, and if there is a banner with a rerun character it will be only one week, instead of two, even if it shares the banner with a new one. >What even is the strategy for Goz on Insane if not even you with max level students at UE30 can do it? Well Phase 1 I can barely do it, and Phase 2 uses almost the same team you see in the EX video, but wish S Hoshino instead of S Azuna. I don't have a maxed T Hasumi, because of a lack of Voynich Manuscripts, but even so it does require a bit of RNG with the positioning. Now maybe I could do it, but I almost wasted an entire hour in practice mode trying to do it and failing, so I am not wasting a ticket for the fight. >Anyways, I truly hope BA makes more middle-ground kind of content and challenges Agree, I think the Joint Firepower Exercise content was a good idea, as it gave even 1* non-meta characters time to shine, and you don't really need to compete against someone else. >1* or 2* students released unless you count welfares I doubt they will ever release a 1* student in the gatcha, and that they will only be welfare. At most you might get "lucky" with a new 2* student, but unless you can grind it's eleph in the Hard missions, or from one of the other shops, it will be useless.

Where's the porn you addicted gambling fucking faggots?

>>819825 >I'm level 74, and I tried the Extreme raid but I simply can't deal enough damage to Goz Found this two team setup for Goz EX. Most students are 3* or 4*, and you might have all of them, keep in mind that you won't be reaching Platinum with this. I think you can replace S Azusa with Wakamo or regular Akane for Def Down if you don't have her. You could also try to replace NY Mutsuki with Chise, and borrow S. Izuna for the second team. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=zwfJX-tdr2k >Team 1: Haruna: 4* 5747 644 lvl 77 NY.Mutsuki: UE50 57MM ??? lvl 83 (this student was borrowed) T.Yuuka: 3* 3444 455 lvl 70 S.Azusa: 3* 3445 433 lvl 70 S.Ayane: UE30 5M77 lvl 78 Kotama: 3* M217 411 lvl 80 >Team 2: T.Hasumi: UE50 577M 534 lvl 70 S.Izuna: 3* 3777 443 lvl 70 S.Hoshino: UE30 577M 663 lvl 75 Izuna: 3* 5747 453 lvl 75 S.Shizuko: UE30 3444 215 lvl 60 Ako: 3* 5447 444 lvl 67

>>820201 >no S. Izuna or normal izuna Welp

I can't wait, I need my wheelchair wife right away.

It's Shiro Kuro time. I find it fascinating how a 2* support unit and a 1* welfare support unit are still the meta(and might always be) and that they are the same girl, Shizuko. I don't have Hot-Spring Chinatsu for the second team, nor am I crazy enough to waste the very limited Millennium Tech Notes on Asuna, so I had to improvise a bit on the second team, Now why is Chinatsu meta? Well if you put her in the first position of the team, she will sit in one of the very few spots where she will never be hit by Kuro, like at all, so you don't need to reposition her. Plus her kit is very good. There is a one-team formation to kill Shiro Kuro, but from a high-score point of view, it's inferior to the two team composition. I went with a two team composition, and almost had him. For the third team, I could have sent anyone to just sneeze at Kuro and finish the fight. >Phase 1 I went with the meta team for the first phase, and you have to be a complete masochist to use this thing. Sure it can finish Shiro very fast, but even at UE40, T7 equipment, Max HP, skill Haruna will get one-shot by Shiro, so if at any point she is on a red circle, then you need to restart the entire fight, oh and his attacks are completely random, so have fun restarting the battle over and over, until you get a lucky run. Wakamo isn't all that better as two hits will knock her out as well. Healing is also not an option, as all characters have a -90% healing debuff, meaning that if something were to heal for 1000HP, it will now heal only 100HP. For a comfy run you could use both Shizukos here, the normal one to play CBT with Shiro, and the second one to reposition the party, Haruna especially, but then you will have a hard time with Kuro, unless you have a maxed out Asuna to reposition and tank some hits or you can do it with one team. >Phase 2 If Phase 1 is complete RNG, this one is always the same, so if you were to memorize the patterns, you could put characters(like Asuna), beforehand in front of certain attacks, to save vulnerable students, or you could place them in spots where they will never be hit like Hot Spring Chinatsu or Izuna with her teleport ability. I didn't bother much with this, just moved them with Shizuko, and sometimes put Izuna to tank a few hits. Almost got this boss with two teams, I think I will try tomorrow with Tracksuit Hasumi instead of Chise, as Chise has Yellow armor so she goes down fast. I am not sure how relevant this is, but I am on the Global server, with the top 2000 in Platinum, whereas the US server has the top 5000 in Platinum. With the previous two raids, the best Extreme got you do around 500, but this one brings you at 1300. Maybe there is something about Shiro and Kuro that makes people go more at it, or they are more confident about it, but I think that even when Torment will roll out, there will still be a few raids where the best Extreme can still bring you Platinum, especially if they increase the bracket from top 2k to top 3k(in Japan it went from top 10k to top 15k). Anyway, the idea is that the Global server is more laid off, and I am not sure how different the US server is.

Did everynyan get their wheelchair wife? John Nexon is giving out basically two free ten-rolls today. I suspect most people sparked Himari if she wasn't naturally rolled.

Just barely beat Binah extreme with three ramshackle teams. How can I improve? Keep in mind I am limited by both students and leveling material.

>>832193 >How can I improve? Stop playing gachashit

>>832193 I assume you don't have S. Azusa, then replace T Yuuka and S Hoshino with Akane and Maki(you should have them from the TA Shop), for double def down, and see if you can use Kazusa twice with one buff from Ako and Himari(as in you buff her with both, and before the buff expires, use Kazusa's attack twice). If you have Ui, then you can just copy the meta team from Insane as it works just as well on Extreme, will be posting my Insane run later. Otherwise, just do what >>832223 is suggesting and play better games.

It's time for Binah, the first boss from the game, and as such it has no gimmicks, it's just one large target that you just hit at it until it dies. For this I went with the meta team, as this raid has become surprisingly competitive. It's the first time I have seen Insane runs not guarantee platinum, and at the same time Extreme not getting platinum either. I think that for now there will still be a few more raids like Goz or Hod where Extreme can still pull it off, but it's also a sign of what is to come, even on a more laid back server like Global. So for the raid, this is one huge coreography, and you need to time everything right. You start with Ui, and if the enxt character is not Kazusa, you restart(and I did several times, I just edited the video to have the intro and my good run for convenience), then you wait until Maki throws her Def Down debuf, so at around 2:31, you then use Kazusa, Ako and Himari in this order and as fast as possible, you then immediately use Akane for double def down. Speedrunners will use macro commands for this, in order to use all 4 skills almost at the same time, but I am not cheating. Anyway, you then wait for Kazusa to buff herself again, so if you immediately use her again, then you need to restart, so at about 2:21 you use her skill again, meaning that it's inside the 13 second interval that is Himari's buff, as I have her at 3*. I then use Ui again on Kazusa, then buff her again with Ako and Himari and use Kazusa's skill and Akane. At this point the boss will go into it's second phase, so again I buff Kazusa and use her against the boss. At this part I kinda fucked up a bit, shouldn't have buffed Maki, and in the third phase I used Maki's skill thinking it will finish the fight faster, but that was a mistake(I think I also used Kazusa once without Himari's buff), thankfully I managed to save it in the end with one last Kazusa hit, just as the team was about to get wiped by Binah's sandstorm. Anyway, fuck this fight, fuck the trihards, and fuck me for competing. Hope none of you are going to attempt this shit. Just be comfy in Gold.

For Chessed I will present, not just one, but two different Insane runs, an old one, and a more meta one. Why <Old Strategy >first webm I used a Winter School Team, for tank(Marina), healing(Nodoka) and AoE damage(Cherino) for the added cost regen given by Cherino's sub-skill. Then I filled the team with what I had, in this case a 5* Hoshino, a UE50 Sumire, and Saya Casual, for the Crit subskill, and because I had nothing else better. The strategy is to survive using Nodoka, and use all the characters for their AoE damage. I don't do all that much damage, but I do manage to reach the boss and almost finish 3/4 of the enemy waves, before timer expires. >second webm I mostly use the cats to clear out the waves, and use my UE50 Iori buffed by Ako and Himari on the boss. It's good enough to finish it in two cycles. Nothing else to say about this strategy, just make sure to have Iori ready and buffed when Chessed has his defenses down, otherwise restart the mission. <Continued in the next post, because I exceeded size limit.

<Meta Strategy >first webm I move the cats to the first team, making clearing the waves much easier. S. Hoshino for added damage and added cost regen. I am still using Nodoka and Saya for the backline, because I have nothing better to choose from. This team is doing much better DPS wise, and I am doing better time wise. The important thing about this team, is that I need to finish the fight at the right moment, about where the first box of the boss is(pic related). If I do it later or earlier, I will mess up the startegy for the second team. >second webm For this I am using my UE50 Iori, a borrowed UE50 Kazusa, Ui and Tsubaki. This team can also handle two cycles, but if you get lucky enough and time it right you can finish Chessed in only one cycle, that's why I needed to finish the fight with the first team at that point. Here is the autistic rythm for this bullshit: >use Ui on Kazusa >use Ako on Kazusa, at this point she will alos have activated her Normal Skill that increases her attack by 43.8% >at this point in the fight Chessed will send his robots to suicide run into Tsubaki, but she can tank it >also you need to have the maxed out bar at this point <this is why you needed to finish the fight with the first team at that point, just ot reach this point optimally >you use Iori >you then use Kazusa >before Iori finishes her second shot, you buff her with Himari and Ako <this is why you needed a full bar <if Chessed isn't at least 24 HP bars, then restart the fight >you then use Iori again, who is still buffed by Ako and Himari >just in case you finish the fight with Kazusa <if you don't finish the fight, then you either restart and hope for better RNG crit, or do it in two cycles >I only needed to reastart the fight 3 times to get a good one cycle run One interesting thing about this is that the best Extreme has a rank of 1260, so unlike with Binah, there are still a lot of people who don't want to try the Insane version. I guess EX fags can still make it to Platinum, especially when the rankings for Platinum will go from top 2k to top 3k. I think I did almost all the bosses, Goz is the only one I didn't cover, I will do that when it comes, and then I will let the thread die like it should have had a long time, but I just needed a place to vent about this gatchashit. >but anon, nobody is reading your blogposts I don't care, this is just for me to vent. And sadly enough, me posting all these webms of the game, and actually discussing the gameplay, makes this thread about a korean gatchashit, more /v/ related then a lot of other threads on this board, and that shouldn't happen.

That was a hell of an end to the recent event. Regardless, it felt kind of anticlimactic and random.

>>867914 I'm just getting around to reading the final story part now, don't spoil me. Do you know if there are any plans to speed up the global server? I always feel like I'm missing out

Behold one of the new game tracks. It is, as the kids say these days, a banger

>>869939 >8chan doesn't allow audio-only .mp4's Alright, have this instead

>>868032 >Do you know if there are any plans to speed up the global server? That was the plan from the start, as the game was behind one year from JP, and now it's only six months, however they have been stuck at this six months gap for half a year, maybe even a year. They tried combining multiple banners and reducing the rerun banners to one week, but they started doing the same on the JP server, so now if they try to speed it up even more it could break the flow too much. Honestly I prefer it this way, gives me time to prepare and plan my gatcha currency spending for the inevitable waifu meta banners.

>>869940 Can you upload an example to somewhere (like catbox) for debugging? I think it's an issue with the thumbnailer and I'd like to investigate.

Then a few days ago I learned that my phone didn't have security update since July 2021. So I flashed LineageOS, lo and behold! The game can run without problem! Currently reaching 2-3 so I can do event. But I will take a break since I have a few things to do before.

>>880964 I'd like your cafe setup if the left corner was reflected more everywhere else. The right side wall is actually pretty good, you may pick that as the "template" for the rest of the cafe. Your only issue may be that you hug the sides a little too much. Don't be afraid to make the middle space of your cafe mesh with the rest of it.

>>888791 Well, time to break some bank already, that modded X360 can wait

>>888815 >modded X360 Why would you even get it when it can't do as much as the Wii or PS3?

Normally I wouldn't do a second video on the same boss, sadly the Princess is so broken it changed things completely. Just look at it, you can skip Phase 2 of Binah, and if I was luckier I could have skipped Phase 3 as well, and just kill the boss in it's first phase. It has absolutely no chance against her, reason why so many people did the Insane run. For reference on Global I am around rank 800 with a score of 26,002,047, and the guy at rank 2001(so just below Platinum) has a score of 25,989,759, the fact that there numbers are so close indicates that for this fight the difference between Platinum and Gold is only a few seconds. Now while Insane is extremely easy, Torment is way too hard, as only 47 whales accomplished it, as such everyone else is just reloading the fight over and over just to finish the fight one second faster. The only "new" mechanic that I employed for this battle is the Auto button. A thing I recently learned is that if you press the auto battle during battle, it will always select the first skill and then maybe the second skill. As such I set it up so that I have Princess Ako/Himari and Maki, if not I restart the battle. I then use Ako/Himari and if I don't have Akane, I restart the battle. If I do have her, then it will be Princess Akane and Maki. I wait till the bar gets to 9 skill points, use the Princess and then press Auto, which will have it use Akane and Himari/Ako immediately, giving the Princess her second buff before she fires. This is much faster than if I were to use my mouse, and you need that speed for Platinum. As always fuck this game, and fuck me for playing it.

>>890020 The fact that Ako and Himari are basically necessaary to do anything in this game really fucks with me. If only I could get ONE of them.

>>890020 >don't have Ui >don't have maxxed out Maki >Don't have maxxed out Akane Welp, guess I won't be doing any insane runs...again

This cute fucker just released on the JP version, can't wait to enroll her. Anyone else surprised on her voice? I was expecting something much higher-pitched, instead she sounds like an adult.

I had 15k pyrox from doing the main story, 2 10x tickets and 11 1x ticket and only got Miyako. I wanted ny Haruka goddamn it.

>>892298 COMMIE CAT COMMIE CAT COMMIE CAT

>>892307 I rolled NY Mutsuki after 120 rolls, sparked NY Aru. Only other purple was my 7th duplicate Atsuko. But like you I wanted Haruka and Kayoko. I sparked Aru since I figured the two might at least spook me in the future, whereas Aru is limited. Welp.

>>892313 I used the other 10 ticket, rolled NY Serika and got enough to spark Aru since you're absolutely right about her being limited. Could have been worse, I guess

It's time for the Goz Rematch as last time I wasn't able to do Insane, and looking at the leaderboard on Global it might be possible to get Platinum even with an Extreme clear, as opposed to the previous raid with Binah where the Platinum cutoff was at the 2000 mark, but 8000 players did Insane thanks Gorilla Princess. What I am trying to say is that, not a lot of people want to do Insane Goz, so how bad is it? Well for Phase 1, it's not that hard, especially with a UE30 NY Mutsuki with T8 equipment, I can clear the minions. The strategy is simple, use Mutsuki, to clear the enemies, buff Wakamo to hyper carry, and when the train comes, use Yuuka to move everyone away, while preparing Mutsuki for another attack, as enemies spawn immediately after the train. Kayoko will buff both Wakamo and Mutsuki. Keep on buffing Wakamo, keep on using her, dodge with Yuuka and clear with Mutsuki, repeat until you get to Phase 2. You can also use the Gorilla Princess in Phase 1 instead of Wakamo, but keep in mind that she is squishy against Goz's attacks, because of his attack type. For Phase 2, speedrunners stop using the team from Phase 1 to move to the second team, but I don't care for a high score and continue using the team until the timer runs out. I did not guess Goz's correct position, I should have used Mutsuki to make sure who the real one was, thankfully Yuuka can easily reposition everyone. Could have been better, but this is all just to make it easier for the second team to finish him off. For the second team, I borrow NY Kayoko, and for the anon who complained about needing both Ako and Himari in all raids, he can rejoice in knowing that you also need Fuuka and S Shizuko for this one. Anyway the secret for Phase 2, is to see if Goz is in the right position(see if he takes damage), otherwise just restart, no reason wasting time looking at the cards. Use Hoshino, Ako and kayoko to buff Hasumi to hyper carry, with Izuna getting the second Kayoko blessing and applying Crit Down resistance to Goz. Speedrunners will just restart the mission depending on if Hasumi did a crit attack or not, thankfully I don't need to worry about that. Whenever Goz dissapears, I slow down time, to look at the cards, I need to find the one without any red cards, it's usually the one on the left, if not I can just restart and try for better RNG. Anyway same thing, use Shizuko to reposition and shield, Kayoko, Hoshino and Ako to buff Hasumi who will hopefully do a crit attack on Goz and finish him off. This time it was much easier, but I don't know if it's because of kayoko, or the T8 equipment, and in conclusion while Phase 1 is completely predictable, Phase 2 is RNG fest with Goz reposition and you are better off guessing and restarting than looking at his cards.

Experimenting with AI. Started with the poster girl of Blue Archive. Might do Arona next.

>>893920 Speaking of roblox, when is the CEO getting arrested for collaborating with known pedophiles? https://yewtu.be/watch?v=jQQpjjHXO1M?si=KEmSJBvKfIJrIjU6

>>893920 Drawings aren't real

Only got NY Kayoko, sparked NY Aru. Along the way I got Mimori, Tsukuyo, Sakurako, Marina, Sumire >>893513 With my ragtag team of lvl 55, Sakurako in team 2 managed to do nice damage. Using her EX skill make the whole team focus fire on the specified target, as well as additional damage.

>>893961 Who said they were?

>>893961 1.5 times sounds like the lead up to a joke. Imagine her being a mother and being autistically measuring nutrients to turn her children into genius athletes.

>What? Don't you guys have Mika? This is getting ridiculous, I spent 45 minutes and this is the best I could do today. There is too much autism to go over the "strategy", you just have to do the coreography and pray for good RNG. The raid is divided into 7 parts, Gate 1, Gate 2, Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, Wave 4 and Chessed. While I did have an excellent Gate 1(did not need to use Momoi), and as a result a good Gate 2, I was unlucky at Wave 1, ruining the entire choreography and as a result did the fight 10 seconds slower than I had hoped. God fucking dammit I feel like a dirty speedrunner now, but this what is necessary to get Platinum. Oh and the only "balancing" thing about Mika is that she has low accuracy, while Chessed, the big fat ball has high evasion, so imagine reaching the end of Wave 4, you are at a good pace, and Mika misses, so you have to restart. You will also restart when one of the characters die, like Cherino or even Mika, or restart at Gate 1, because Momoi and Iori could not clear the first wave, or restart at any other point, because your pace is shit.

>>898302 >First insane clear where I have all the required "meta" students <but I don't have them maxxed out with T7 equipment Welo, maybe next year I can get platinum. Fuck torment, only whales seem to have the capability for that shit.

>>898306 >T7 equipment Anon, this was done with T8 equipment.

I've been playing Blue Archive for 2 weeks now and I'm surprised how much I ended up liking the characters despite the rather simple plot and the lore being a bit undercooked. >Abydos students just robbing a bank like it's Payday >The Game Development Team being the best daughterfus the world can ask for >The entire second part of Chapter 2 >The Make-Up Work group just being adorable weirdos The boss in Chapter 3 of the Story Mode where Sensei is forced to use the card to summon your own units is filtering me a bit unlike other chapters so far though. It seems rather friendly for a gacha (my first one admittedly) and doesn't waste my time much in grinding items thanks to the sweep feature once I scored 3 stars on each level (generally achieved on the first try). I'm hoping the franchise get future videogame adaptations on consoles/PC just like it's been the case for Granblue Fantasy and Umamusume.

>>911308 >I'm hoping the franchise get future videogame adaptations on consoles/PC just like it's been the case for Granblue Fantasy and Umamusume. I'm assuming it will, Blue Archive is absolutely DOMINATING Comiket and usually that's a good indication of how much money a series is getting, and thus how much more activity we'll see from them. I know they got greenlit for a Netflix animated series a few months ago, so that will only improve the game's reach. I am somewhat sure it's normalfag-safe due to the amount of loli in the game. https://archive.ph/vWLRo

Ok, now that the big breasted Hinata is meta for Peroro and Goz, it's time to use her and finally do my first Insane run. >none of my "friends" have a UE50 Hinata <Fuck! I am not going to waste resources to UE50 her myself, so I have to keep refreshing the possible friends pages, until I find someone who has a maxed out UE50 Hinata, and is willing to take me as a friend, after countless refreshes I find 3 possible candidates(one is a hyper whale who got second place last Total Assault who I doubt will actually accept the friend invite). A day passes, and someone actually friended me, now I can finally do the battle. As for the battle there is nothing to write about, you just Hyper Carry Hinata with 4 buffs, while Natsu tanks Peroro. In theory I could time the shots right to hit the white Peroros for extra damage and finish this fight with one team, while also refreshing the battle every time she doesn't crit, but who cares? Everyone is shit at Perorodzilla, and all I care about is getting Platinum, not a high score. I just bring Peroro to as low HP as possible, and then finish him with a second team that focuses one AOE damage. Interesting enough, since I first posted my webm, up until now, every raid has been done twice, with the exception of Hod which I haven't done a webm of yet. Oh and there are 3 new bosses to look forward to, Wakamo Hovercraft, Gregorious for whom I am preparing with saving for the next few banners, and the anticipated Elastic Armored boss, Myouki KuroKage, which just dropped in Korea/Japan. Hope you are getting those purple students, anon :^)

>>911308 I understand you are in the honey moon phase anon, hope you haven't foolishly payed money. Honestly I don't think there is any point for you to continue "playing" this gatcha, if it's just the story then you can easily watch them on Jewtube since they are just VNs, with this you will also be able to enjoy Story Events that you missed, as well as Student Relationships with Students you don't have, it's honestly a much better experience. >but muh gameplay It's shallow, and the only thing worth doing is the meta game in which you anticipate the banners and save up on gatcha currency, to get Platinum for every fight, something I can do since I started from the beginning, and something you shouldn't do. Just uninstall it, watch the events on Jewtube and you will thank me for that, unless, of course you watched all the webms I posted and my commentary, and actually think "Yep, that looks like so much fun, I really want to restart the raid over and over to guarantee platinum." Sage for double post

>and I just realized I posted the old one. Sage for triple post, this will be the last one I swear.

It's time for Hod. It's interesting how ever since I have started this series of of posts, I have done every single boss at least twice(even if I didn't upload a new video since it was just the same fight), but never have done Hod, I guess he is not that popular. So for insane to get into Platinum, I have to get extremely lucky so that at the beginning of phase 2, he doesn't summon the towers, and ... fuck that shit, I am doing TORMENT. No I have not wasted hours of my life, in mock battles trying to do it, nor did I waste two tickets trying to do the battle and failing, nobody asked. For some reason I was only able to do this battle on the phone, so I had to record it from my device, which is why these videos have a different aspect ratio, plus it was originally in portrait, and had to crop to landscape. I don't know why it had to be on a phone, maybe I am faster moving the finger around, rather than the mouse on the Android emulator, anyway.... >Team 1 Probably the most flexible team of them all, Maki is for Def Down, Iori for damage the rest are for stunning the boss.Suzumi is also a great pick, if you have her at affection level 25 with Bond Gear level 2, but I did not have enough presents to raise her from bond level 20 to 25, so I could not use her, thankfully I had S Wakamo and I only needed her at 3*, same with Rabbit. NY Haruka is mostly for her Cost Regen bonus and Crit Resistance debuff. All the team needs to do is survive long enough to destroy the two towers, I sometimes need to reset a few time if Iori doesn't crit, but overall with this team in 1-5 tries I manage to defeat the towers, then I immediately end the fight, before I do damage to Hod. You might be asking why, and I will tell you in the next section. >Team 2 Sigh... I don't like this fight... Anyway, I quickly buff Mika to destroy the Two Towers, and you might think it's a simple dance of just attacking with Mika, and using Kayoko to cancel Hod's laser beam, but it's more than that. See, Hod has three parts where it will summon towers, at the beginning, at 1:25 in the webm, and at about 2:38 in the webm, but he didn't and here is why. At 1:25 he is about to, but I fill the groggy bar, cancelling his animation, this needs to be done with extreme precision and the damage inflicted upon him is calculated beforehand, it's why I couldn't use Team 1 on Hod, because otherwise he would have entered into groggy phase much earlier, and then he would have summoned the towers, he had to become groggy exactly when he was summoning them. At 2;38 if he is above 50% HP then he will summon the towers, otherwise he will enter in his third phase(indicated by the red ring) where he destroys all turrets and towers. I apologize for pausing the video in the middle, I had to double check the notes I had on a piece of paper, as I knew I was on a good pace, and had to do it exactly right, otherwise I would not have finished the fight with only 19 bars of HP. Oh I should also mention that when he enters in his third phase he resets his attack bar, so using Kayako is a waste, and I also need to bring him to Groggy phase a second time, in order to do enough damage with Mika. In theory you could finish the fight at 14 bars of HP, but 19 was enough. Oh and Fubuki is there, she is just stunning Hod in the background, it fits her character. >Team 3 I wish I had Suzuki, instead I settle for Tsubaki. S Izumi is also an option, but I needed a tank. I also upgraded my Mika from UE 40 to UE 50 to have a chance. This is the team is do or die, Hod has too much of a high defense to try and weather him down with 7 other teams. If Team 3 can't finish him off, then the raid is lost.Chihiro and Tsubaki are there to fill his groggy bar, Koharu to keep everyone alive, Chrerino for the Cost Recovery bonus, and Mika+Fuuka to kill Hod. All I need to do is survive long enough for him to become Groggy, then finish him off with Mika. It's not easy, but it's doable, as can be seen from this video. And with this I have done Torment, I have no life and I must scream. See you next time on Gregorious, unless this thread has the decency to die, so pelase don't post.

>anons can't decide whether to hate a gacha game or like it for it's brazen amount of lolis inside What can i say? This is the future.

>>920129 It's mobile cancer with cunny. Lolis are great, but i expected an average anon would know better than to ever touch Android games.

>>920129 Just go on the booru if you want to fap to lolis. >but if whales don't waste their money on this cancer, then there won't be any new lolis to have drawings of There are dozens of artists who make OC lolis every day, you don't have to be saddled with this shit. Wasting your time on gatcha for the pngs, is even more degenerate than the meta gaming I am doing.

>>920129 It's a cute game, and you dont NEED to spend money on it, plus whales will exist whether you or I wish them to. Might as well enjoy the game for its own merits which supplies you with cute characters and cute dialogue and a decent story. It can even be construed as a dating sim. Shallow compared to actual dating sims, one could argue, but you cannot say the devs dont know their crowd or what pleases them all too well.

>>893961 Sauce >>920129 Meh, i really like the girls after all and mostly the Bunny girls

>>920200 >Sauce You've been given 5 full pages, look it up yourself or commit suicide. I looked it up when it was posted, found it and jerked off to it a few times.

>>920203 To en fair, it was mostly an excuse to bump the thread up

>>920205 >Be Fuck me, i'm retarded and it's only afternoon

Rabbit summer event is now How long until we get to the 2.5 anniversary?

>>922291 I wonder if I should play this game, I don't put a lot of money into mobile games. Although this mobile game seems appealing

>>922296 If it's any consolation, BA is very generous with its resources so you don't need to spend a dime to have a great chance at getting whoever you want.

Grand Assault is here. Overall it's more laid back than regular Total Assault, after the beta you will get a 10 draw ticket, regardless of rank, so even the Bronze one will get a 10 ticket, which is nice, so only try-hard retards like me will try to get Platinum. Our first GA is with poor old Binah, the first boss of the game, and I just love how every single team is just Maki, Akane, Ako and Himaro with the other two students determining what color the raid is. I mean Maki has been tormenting Binah ever since the first raid, and recently I have seen an uptick in artwork where Maki and Binah are friends, which I find surprisingly wholesome, even those in which Binah has a weird crush on Maki. >Red Binah aka Ako Team An Ako team, that only needs two critical EXs and normal skills, not too bad. I didn't have the cleanest run, but the secret is tthat unless you skip phase 2 and immediately kill Binah in Phase 3 you restart. >Yellow Binah aka MIKA Again very straight-forward with Mika and UE50 Kazusa. Keep in mind that Mika does only 80% of her damage, while Kazusa does 140% of her damage, yet Mika still did more damage. This is the power of always criting. You basically hyper-carry Mika, and if she doesn't bring Binah to about 4.7 Million HP you then resrtart the battle. Then you use Kazusa twice after hyper-carring her, and if she doesn't bring Binah to about 1.4 million HP to skip to Phase 3 you then resrart, then in Phase 3 you clean it up with Mika and Kazusa, though Kazusa still needs to crit, otherwise Binah showers everyone with sand, and you need a second team. A bit worse than the Ako team, but much better than... >Blue Binah aka Restart Battle Maid Aris... where do I even begin? For those who do not know she has the the same attack stat as Wakamo, but while Wakamo's EX doesn't crit, MAris can crit, but unlike Mika she doesn't have guarantee crits. So why is that a problem, sicne only Mika can guarantee a crit anyway? Well a fully buffed MAris with NY Kayoko, Himari and Ako, attacking Binah with about 50% def down does about 300k damage if she misses her crit and about 1.5-2 million damage is she crits, oh and she has a low chance of pulling off that crit, and you need to do it about three times to do a near perfect run on Binah. Doing it once has a low chance, doing it twice is extremely low, and doing it three times? Well after half an hour this was the best I could do, and I got lucky she crit a regular attack. So basically miss a crit? Restart. Ny Kayoko activated her sub skill that requires the team to crit 200 times and Binah left? Restart. Couldn't do enough damage to Binah on the second attack to stun him and he uses rockets to insta-kill your team? Restart? Missed the second crit attack with Maid Aris? Restart Did too much damage with the first crit and now he enters the second phase before NY Kayoko can activate her sub skill? Restart. Missed the third crit attack with Maid Aris? Restart. I FUCKING HATE MAID ARIS Just use Wakamo, it's what I did in the previous Shiro Kuro raid, since doing crits 7/8 times with Maid Aris is ridiculous. >>922291 >How long until we get to the 2.5 anniversary? Less than a month. >>922296 Look at the webms and rants I have been posting of every single boss of this game? Do you really think it's fun to keep on resetting the entire fight, just because you missed a crit, and have to keep doing the same fight over, and over, and over for almost an hour just so you get lucky with crits? "Oh, but I don't care about raids, I will just casually play it." The raids ARE the game, there is absolutely nothing else to do. You want to see the waifus? Go on a booru, search for waifu and fap to all the pictures of her. You want to enjoy the story? If you join now, there are plenty of events you do not have access to, and might never will so there is a lot of stories you will never see. A much better experience is to watch them all on jewtube at you own pase, I even heard some of them use AI to have them fully voiced, so in that regard it's a much better experience than in-game, plus you also have access to relationship events with characters you don't have, and not even I have all of them(some are limited so I will never get access to the story). The music? Just listen it on jewtube, or download it. The memes and culture? Honestly I have more respect for a secondary than a tryhard. In all regards, you are better off engaging with the content, outside of the game, so don't even bother installing it. The only thing unique to it are the raids, or "restarting simulator" if you want to get Platinum, and if you don't care about that, again you might as well not play the game. Oh but what if you spend thousands of dollars in the game, like an absolute retard? It will take you months to catch up to a free to play metagamer like me who started two years ago, and you might never reach my level, because I have limited students, who are extremely meta, that you might have to wait an entire year, before getting access to them, like NY Fuuka.

It's time for the long awaited Gregorious boss fight, you know the one that was was a real pain in the ass when it first appeared on the JP server, and caused countless of people to recommend pulling all sorts of students just to beat this one boss. Well thankfully you don't need Summer SRT, Minori or Nagisa(though I do have them just in case), to beat it when you can just use the Aru team with a borrowed Mime, sure I will have to restart the fight a few times just because Aru missed a crit, but how bad can it get? Hey isn't Aru a bit far from S. Hoshine during the Extreme battle, and why can't I see the organ effects? Turns out they fixed a few glitches from the JP battle and introduced a few new ones like the missing effects from the organ, but that's ok, I will just write timestamps from a JP video and I won't have to watch the organ, but sadly the pathfinding is fucked, so now you need a UE40 Mime if you still want to do the Aru team, sadly none of my "friends" have a UE40 Mime, and only one has a UE30 Mime. FUCK! Well there is also the Akari team, apparently she replaces Aru and can be used with a UE30 Mime, but I have never invested in her, let's see what are her skills: >Normal Skill <Normal attacks have 10% chance to increase Attack by 38.7~73.6% for 20 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds) >Sub Skill <Normal attacks have 10% chance to increase Attack by 34.4~65.5% for 26 seconds. (Cooldown: 18 seconds) Plus I think she has to be at UE50(I have her at UE40) and I will probably have to reset the battle over and over just to crit FUCK THIS SHIT I am bringing the rabbits, shout out to the jewtuber RS Sandstorm(from whom I just copied the strategy) that proved you only need them at 3* in order to beat Insane, even Nagisa, but I have her at 4*, so let's see the artifact requirements. Both Nagisa and S. Saki require Wolfsegg Steel. Fuck that material, why do so many of these girls want wolf eggs, why don't they just take the totem pole? Why do they have to introduce new artifacts, like the atlantis coin or the soon to be released roman dodecahedron if only one or two students use it, whereas the wolf eggs and the Voynich Manuscript are required for like 70-80% of the meta students? Fuck this game, at least the battle is fine, too bad that from watching so many battles one jewtube in preparation for this, my brain inserts the Minori ASMR every time I hear the Greg song, not sure if that is an improvement, but enough rambling the battle... >Phase 1 Use summer SRT as soon as possible to stack up the debufs on greg in order to do 200% more damage to him. Whatever debuf he has, his minions will have as well, but not in reverse. use Minori to kill some mobs and reverse the organ, to stack up an additional debuf. Use Nagisa to either kill the mobs Minori couldn't do, or target the other ones, I think if she were 5* she could kill them, but this is more than enough. Wait for the upper two organs to activate(the red ones), then use Summer SRT again. >Phase 2 Use Minori at 7 cost, on the left choir, this will disable them. use Nagisa on the choir next to greg, then at about 2:28 rotate the organ with Koharu, while also healing Miyako. Use Saki at about 8-9 cost, then use Minori to finish off the mobs Nagisa couldn't. After they get debuffed by the rotated organ, use Nagisa on the left choir. >Phase 3 Use Summer SRT after the red organ activated, then with a 5 cost Minori finish the right choir. Use Nagisa to kill a minion newr Greg and then rotate the organ with Koharu. Then use Miyako to get Minori's EX next which will stun Greg, this is very important as it will sin cronyze the organ with Phase 4, also use S Saki at the very end, for a better rotation, some people would sacrifice Koharu here, but she will make it. >Phase 4 This is it, it's DO OR DIE! If I can't finish the battle here then I will need to restart, because there is no Team 2 that can kill of Greg, because of his bullshit mechanics you can't just throw students at him, this will either work or not. I have less than a minute to finish him off, because he will use an insta kill spell at the end of his song. If the organ isn't turning black, it means you messed up the timing when you stunned him in Phase 3 and might as well restart. If it does, then you most likely win, just spam Nagisa and 7 cost Minori on the mobs, and either heal Miyako with Koharu or use her on the mobs, but even if you panic a bit like I did, it's most likely fine. That the battle in a nutshell, again thanks to RS Sandstorm for providing the startegy fuck Nexon for ruining the Free to play frendly Aru team, and fuck me for still being here. See you at Wakamo: Hovercraft.

>>924487 Are you a whale? No really I want to know. Don't know how you could have that much excess pyroxene and still have new students all at max levels.

>>920200 >Sauce You will never know!

>>924655 >Are you a whale? Believe it or not, I have never spent a single cent on this gatcha, as it's my one rule, that if I ever spend money on a gatcha, I will instantly delete the account, so as to not fall in the rabbit hole. I am also thinking of deleting my account if I ever get anything but Platinum in Total Assault, just to spice things up a bit. >Don't know how you could have that much excess pyroxene Well I have started playing engaging with this gatcha, one month after it's Global release, so I had a lot of time to accumulate pyroxene as well as build the students. I am also a min-maxer, have gotten Platinum in every raid starting with the seventh one, I am in top 100-200 PVP and these small increases in pyroxene accumulate in time, I get around 50 draws every two weeks, so a spark fund(200 draws) in 2 months. I have also been looking at charts for future students from the beginning, as the 6 month lag with JP helped me plan ahead for which student I should draw. It's also a calculated risk, as using 50 draws has about 70% chance of getting a purple student(not necessary the one from the banner), so if I want a student I have to ask myself if I am willing to spend 200 draws on it. I have sometimes gotten lucky, with getting a student at 30-50 draws, but I also had to use almost 2 spark funds for the first two Arius squad members, because I waifued them, I also lost a lot of draws on other two students without getting them, because I went for the waifu route, instead of the meta one. Ever since Greg appeared on the JP server, I have been looking at what students I need, and carefully planned my pyroxone budget. If you are just starting out, my account might seem like the one of a whale, but this is just the result of engaging with the gatcha for so long, buying materials from the shops, doing the Hard missions and so on. In fact if someone were to start today and whale like crazy, it will take him probably at least 2 months to catch up to me, and even then I have limited meta students that he can't have, because there is no banner for them. Also keep in mind, that while I might have 500 draws now, I might loose 200 draws to get Summer Shiroko, 200 draws for Summer Hanako, and 100 draws for Summer Ui(if I don't get her from the free 100 pulls), so in one month, I might not have anything left, and then I will have to worry about the new elastic students for the purple boss that will arrive in a few months. >at max levels. Leveling up he students is not a problem, the equipment is not a problem either, even the school training blu-rays are not that much of a problem, as I buy them with the Total Assault currency, the only problem are the artifacts, especially wolf eggs Wolfsegg Steel, and I didn't have enough of that for the new students, so I simply used the bare minimum, and I also traded some of the totem poles for more wolf eggs in the crafting chamber, as I use the Joint Firepower stones to buy purple tailor stones. >tl;dr I am not a free to play min-maxer that started the game almost since it launched

>>925418 >Granblue Granblue Fantasy is a very old gatcha at this point,it's expected to loose steam and interest in time. Two fighting games are also not as accessible as a simple VN unless you grind for the Guild War battles, *shudders* , and that JRPG will be released at the end of this month, but even then they only use a fraction of the characters from the gatcha, as that is where most of the new characters are introduced. >>925430 Do you think Nikke will surpass BA next year, with how in your face the fanservice is, or is it just like Tohou, in that it's more important for the characters to be cute and funny?

>>925512 Nikke has proven censorship and usually censorship issues just compound over time rather than get better. A slippery slope one might say. They are owned by Tencent who owns majority shares (24% last I checked) and the character designs scream Chinese pandering. I don't think Nikke has much of a life expectancy, or at best it'll be as popular as Arknights which is somewhat similar in style (i.e. not very popular at all)

>>925519 man that's gay

>>925519 >I don't think Nikke has much of a life expectancy They made a ton of money in 2023, so it will probably have a lot of staying power, sunk cost fallacy and all that. Unless by "popularity" you mean "how many pages of X character on booru exists" versus "how much money X character's banner earned the company". Also, according to a famitsu article, 40% of the NIKKE playerbase in South Korea are women, and about 30% in Japan, which simply blows my mind. I know there are hornly lesbians out there, and you could convince me that there is a large female playerbase(also around 30-40%) for Senran Kagura, because you can dress up the girls in all sorts of outfits, but why NIKKE? I wouldn't be shocked if BA only had 5 or 10% female playerbase, because of reasons I can not comprehend. Now I am curious the percentage of male players that play Otome and how many of them are not actually gay. The Famitsu article in question(it's in japanese) https://archive.ph/wip/4BXhT An English article talking about it https://archive.ph/wip/DVXRQ

>>925548 >30%-40% Impressive. Very nice. Let's see GBF's female player base percentages...

>>925565 The closest thing I could find is this statistica which says that as of October 2020 it was 44% female, which I am not sure how they got those values, and a 2021 Famitsu poll, in which 59.1% of them were women, but these are just self-reported(there was also one from 2020 with about 80% female so it's not all that reliable), so it's hard to say exactly how many women there are. I would also like to say that I am not sure how NIKKE determines if a player is male or female, unless they look at the billing address of the credit card for a name. https://archive.ph/aw8Ko If someone has better data, please post.

<had some real shitty days this week <Read about the anni stream being today early <Watch some highlights >Ako got a dress skin >Hina got a dress skin MY GOD I'M REALLY FUCKING HAPPY, GOD IS REAL, PRAISE THE FUCKING SUN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA God, Ako is fucking beautiful in that skin, and Hina too, this anni is simply 20/10 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>928995 I'm more happy that Arius Summer is basically confirmed now. I want to see Misaki happy.

Not a fan of gacha but this figure is very nice.

Finally, Makoto.

>>929043 And thank god for that >>929031 And that too, i'll eagerly wait for a Summer Saori and Hiyori Overall, the anni was basically an absolute success, the only ones who were kinda fucked were those who hoped for an official Rio Announce

>>929043 My #1 desire since I saw her as an NPC, followed only by Kasumi

@929055 Reminder acknowledged, you can go now

@929065 You're not getting a (You) no matter how much you bait

>929067 (((You))) don't belong here, go home.

Any noteworthy fan games yet? I want to play Blue Archive without having to play the actual game. Hopefully that Comiket performance will spawn a couple. >>929045 Ooh, sexy diastema.

>>929211 There was that Getting Over It clone with the SRT girls

>>929211 There is a Roblox fan game, other than that you have mods, such as 4 player co-op mod for Mario 64, but with the Game Development Club, or Sifu but with Miyu, which kinda works since she was part of an elite school so she should have been drilled with advanced hand to hand combat techniques, even though she is a sniper, plus her halo makes her bullet proof, so against regular people she is unbeatable.

Oh and how could I forget Lethal Company X Blue Archive mod, just look at these high quality models. >inb4 I want an actual game not a reskin of other games Unless there is an official game from Nexon that will cost money, the way you have the Granblue Fantasy Fighting game, a copycat of a different game is the best you can get from a fan game, and the second best is to add the models in other games with varying results.

Comparatively, these gooks/nips put a lot of effort into these shorts. I don't see any similar kind of effort coming from other gacha social media accounts. I find them very cute but I wish they'd feature my studentwife at some point...maybe this upcoming summer they will

I really hoped that RABBIT would finally get a home and stay in Valkyrie due to the 4.5 PVs. Kaya was such a pushover, it felt like the entire ending of the arc was rushed.

>going in expecting lolishit >a lot of characters have big ol' japanese tiddies what the fuck /v/?

>>931657 The characters are just under age, whereas the protagonist is an adult. It's more than anything. >>931655 Joining Valkyrie would go against their creed, as they are the only SRT students(besides Fox squad) who did not join Valkyrie when their school got closed. Staying in the park is their way of proteating, until SRT is re-established. The only question is why doesn't Sensei just hire them under Schlae to be his bodyguards or special police, since Fox squad was under the Student Council President, so it will be the same thing, but now they have a place to stay at? In a world where evweyone has guns and he is not bullet proof, I doubt it will be hard to request a bodyguard budget. >Kaya was such a pushover Yeah, she was a bit of meme, but I enjoyed seeing her go crazy, because she didn't know how hard it is to actually manage Kivotos.

>>931681 I thought Valkyrie and SRT were associated, didn't SRT pick up the most elite students and train them up? There was a poster behind Miyako on the 4.5 PV during the flashback and I think it fucked with my memory now >why doesn't Sensei just hire them under Schlae to be his bodyguards or special police I think Schale is under some kind of neutral territory bullshit as part of being "hired" by the Student Council, which works well in letting Sensei meddle with the affairs of most associations. Anyway, what's the best soundtrack and why is it Library of Omen?

>>931969 i know this doesn't has anything with your post, but i just want to Say it Man, i love miyako so much >Anyway, what's the best soundtrack and why is it Library of Omen? Nothing ever beats the ol' "tu tu tu ru tutututu tu Tururu"

>>931969 >I thought Valkyrie and SRT were associated I guess they are as associated as regular police are to Green Berets. The SRT was formed by the former president to administer swift justice, but with her disappearance, the school got closed and most students got assimilated into Valkyrie with the exception of Rabbit and Fox, though they still use the Valkyrie DVDs, whereas Arius has their own DVDs instead of using Trinity when leveling up. >I think Schale is under some kind of neutral territory bullshit as part of being "hired" by the Student Council Yeah, Schlae has some special privileges, but somewhat part of the Student Council. It's also a bit weird how Sensei is the only Schlae member as I do not think the Angel 24 store is part of it. Imagine the CIA being just one guy but still retain the same amount of authority and power, that's how Schlae feels like. All Sensei gets for help is that once per day a random student comes to help him which can vary from a Yuuka to an Iroha. Also Schlae is a completely different building from the Student Council, so it's kinda weird how Sensei has an entire skyscraper all for himself. I guess one reason why Sensei can't use SRT is that they are under the Student Preaident's juristiction, not Schlae.

>>913695 The gameplay itself is alright and mainly meant to be played in short bursts (and most often when I have nothing but my phone with me) >hope you haven't foolishly payed money I'm spending money on Japanese fanworks from the comiket and else. I do wish they were more often available in digital format than physical though, as the latter requires using a proxy service and an available stock. But it does amuse me to see the Japanese folks easily shitting out lights novels of +200-pages out of the source material. Reminds me of Touhou a bit.

Started not that long ago and unlocked clubs. Is there one here or should I join some random club?

>See you at Wakamo: Hovercraft. <I forgot Goz has an outdoor version, <FUCK >But what about the Kaiten Grand Assault? Why didn't you cover that? It was way too boring, just use Ako, Mika and Mald Aris for each color. Speaking of boring, Goz Outdoor, you just hyper carry Hinata with 3 buffers, while trying to keep everyone alive because you have almost no healing. I actually did manage to do this with one team, but no recording so enjoy this two team recording. >Team 1 Use Yuuka to put everyone near Ui, if train is on the left side, restart, if Ui dies, restart. Use Ui and Kayako to buff Hinata, wait for 9 cost them unleash her with Ako + Himari, then use kayoko again to free up Hinata. If everything went well, then there is a very good chance that you will finish this raid, otherwise restart. You then move the team to the right, unleash Hinata, then move to the center and if you are lucky bring Goz to less than 18 mil HP. I didn't do this in this recording, so I move everyone to the right and do more damage to Goz. With Phase 2 I am much better at seeing the cards now, so I guess where Goz is, otherwise restart, just do as much damage as you can, since you won't do this with one team, oh and be careful not to be killed, T Yuuka is not just for reposition, but also shield enemies from bombs, and other dangers. If anyone dies, restart. Hopefully you can bring him to about 5 mil HP >Team 2 Using the other Goz slayer, Mika, she might be yellow, but her crit is still very efficient, however she is squishy against Goz and can be killed in 2 hits, shields are important. Since this the start of the battle, I don't bother looking at the cards all that much, if I don't guess I simply restart, best outcome is that it starts on the right. I use S. Shizuko to move everyone, use S Hoshino for buffing, then use Mika and Hasumi to kill Goz. Not much to comment on this, it's not as RNG heavy as Shiru Kuro with all the RNG from Phase 1 and Mald Aris, but it's still annoying. Again, I was able to do this with one team, but I have no recording of it, thankfully it wasn't needed to stay in Platinum. Sadly I could not find any meme pics of Hinata interacting with Goz, so have these instead. As for my gatcha currency, I was very lucky with some draws, got both exclusive summer units(even though S Hinata is useless), did 200 draws to get S Hanako plus one from spark so isntant 4*, and I still have a spark fund. By the time the new Purple units will come out I will be at two spark funds, so everything looks good. >>934199 If you are on Global, you could join my club, my only requirement is to log on in the game once per week. You might bring some life to the chink, gook and maybe one jap infested club that I happen to manage. Otherwise, just join a random club, make sure most players are high level so you can leech their students.

>>931681 >The characters are just under age, whereas the protagonist is an adult. It's more than anything. That still doesn't explain why everyone is posting 😭 and CUNNY in the game where there are big tiddie bitches everywhere.

>>935283 Those are mostly for the more flat chested and child like looking characters like Hina, even though she is canonically 17. There is also Kokona who is 11. Then there is also the eternal debate if loli is a matter of age(this 1.7 meter tall, big breasted girl is a 10 year old) or physique(this is a 10000 year old vampire), as well as the pedo loli vs hebe one. At least I get an excuse to post this webm, I made back when the show was airing. For reference the little girl is a highschooler, and the one next to her, is her younger sister.
