A roller-coaster of a storyline unfolds during the Gehenna Academy’s party

Several events featuring enticing rewards for new players are available
SEOUL – July 24, 2024 – Popular anime RPG Blue Archive invites players to a special get-together in the mobile game’s latest event story, “Basking in the Brilliance of Their Serenade.” The story is filled with plenty of twists and turns as a teacher from Kivotos helps Gehenna Academy throw an awesome party that the students will remember forever.
In Blue Archive, players take on the role of Sensei and recruit skilled students to tackle the threats looming over the academy city of Kivotos. Featuring strategic combat and a never-ending lineup of unique characters, players will enjoy heartfelt storylines filled with engaging gameplay and plentiful rewards.
This event story contains a total of seven stages, and the completion of “Pandemonium Society Executive Office Main Gate” stage rewards players with Ibuki, a mystery-type striker who is the beloved mascot of the Gehenna Academy student council, Pandemonium Society. Additionally, the update brings new content such as “Field Exploration,” where players can control student Hina and visit various locations, watch stories and complete quests to level up her “Piano Proficiency” and unlock rewards such as Pyroxenes and Ibuki’s Elephs.
In addition to Ibuki, numerous students join Blue Archive in this update, including:
Makoto – As chairman of Gehenna Academy’s student council, Makoto is cunning, confident and a bit quirky. She is a Piercing-Type special student whose EX skill deals powerful damage proportional to the number of enemies in a circular area.
Ako (Dress) – Senior administrator of the Gehenna Prefect Team, Ako now has a dressed-up version of herself. Ako (Dress) is an Explosive-Type Striker who increases the Critical Value and Critical Damage of allies in a circular area when using her EX skill. She also gains one “Successful Protection” for each ally in range, boosting her damage and attack power.
Hina (Dress) – The Head Prefect of Gehenna Prefect Team, Hina (Dress), plays a key role in this event story and will be available through the Fes recruitment beginning on Tuesday, July 30. She serves as an Explosive-Type Striker, and when using her EX skill, is able to switch to Concentrated Fire for 10 seconds and launch three powerful bullets that pierce enemies in a straight line.
Blue Archive also has plenty of great events happening for new players, too. The game is granting 100 free recruitment tickets until 1:59 a.m. UTC on July 30, and hosting a campaign offering triple rewards for various content such as Bounty and Commissions until 6:59 p.m. UTC on Aug. 19.
