    other plusses:
    1) Sweeping function instead of manual grind in other games like HSR / GI / GFL(?)
    2) The combat and problem solving aspect of endgame content is actually pretty fun if you don't use guides and copy their rotations. you a toolbox of characters at your disposal and they all have their niche and uses, and its up to you to pick out the correct ones for the situation to clear the harder content. If you're lazy you can always use a guide and copy their team.

      Sweeping is huuuuuge, probably wouldn't have played for so long without it. And yes, I mentioned in another video of mine how team building is my favorite part of rpgs/gachas, and this game is sooo good for that with all the different kits to choose from. W comment

      @@CrextComic No, he got that character with 70 of his 935 pulls saved up. He could have gotten that character in 200 pulls regardless of luck since the "pity" system lets you select any current rate-up character after that many pulls.
      On top of that, even if you get the character the count doesn't reset so you can get your desired character at 150th pull, keep going for 50 more and get *another* 3* character you want (or a copy of the same one). The pull system on this game is amazing and it's almost guaranteed you get who you want after saving up for just a month or so.

      The way he explained is a bit confusing for those who don't play but Blue Archive is less gambling and more saving up since the guarantee of getting a character is so within reach you don't even have to bother thinking about how lucky you are when you really want a specific rate-up character.

    Really good video. I also asked the same question when I left the game during launch and came back like a year later. The FOMO on content almost made me not want to go back but good thing I still tried. Past events are now permanent and the featured free students can be obtained anytime. Now I'm able to clear Torment (which is the highest raid difficulty) and I have very invested students and those who I really like too. BA is really generous when it comes to handing out pyroxene (premium currency) and you get rewarded in challenge stages and being able to clear high difficulty raids. Anniversary is soon and 100 free pulls incoming! Hope you're ready for Dress Hina which is the strongest Explosive DMG dps so far

    • @Maxcie
      @Maxcie  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It was a bit intimidating for me, but I was lucky enough to get a lot of good students during anniversary banner (Ako, Himari, Mika, and S. Hanako all in one day) and that really motivated me to keep going. The 6% anniversary banners are really the best time to start, so that's why I wanted to make the video before the D. Hina banner! That is crazy you were able to do Torment after falling behind too! Love the game, and hope this video can convince anyone who is on the fence about starting :)

    I started playing three weeks ago (so around two weeks after this video released), a few days before Dress Hina's banner dropped (she was the character who lured me into the game). I can vouch for the statement that Fes banners (anniversary banners) really kickstart your account. While pulling for Dress Hina, I got a bunch of off-focus 3-star characters who have helped me push the Missions, including the re-ran Fes characters mentioned in the video (except Wakamo, who I didn't get).
    For context, clearing higher-level Missions unlocks upgrades for the Cafe, which is important because it increases your supply of stamina points, which are used to increase the account level. So, the sooner you push these missions to unlock the upgrades, the faster you can level up. Right now, after 20 days of playing, I was able to unlock the second-to-last Cafe upgrade, clearing the required Mission stage despite being underleveled by almost 40 levels (my account and students are level 52, while this Mission has level 90 enemies and bosses). How was it possible? Well, the characters I got from the anniversary banner (and the 100 free pulls campaign from the week prior, namely Iroha) are just that strong! So my account is set-up to grow very fast pretty early on, just because of all the good stuff I got from the anniversary events and campaigns.
    As a footnote: I think it's important to mention this for people who are not familiar with this game. In Blue Archive, a lot of "free-to-play-friendly" characters are actually amazing. The good stuff is not just limited to the limited-run 3-star characters (like those from the anniversary banner); some 2-star and 1-star units are great too. My favorite example is Yuuka, a character you get for free from the prologue and who is a low rarity student in the gacha. She is an amazing tank when you invest in her (increase relationship level, upgrade gear and skills, etc), and she even is top notch in both PVP and for pushing Missions. Tsubaki was also mentioned in the video, and she is another great tank too. In terms of DPS characters, OG Hina is now given for free if you complete some challenges, and she is amazing with some support. Oh... Another feature of this game is that you can obtain some non-limited high rarity characters without needing to roll in the gacha, by farming their Elephs (the character-specific material used for Limit Break). It takes some time (and in some cases requires pushing Missions on Hard mode), but it's something that is possible. I've heard OG Aru is another great DPS that can be obtained in this way, but I haven't been able to farm her Elephs yet.

    First off thank you for making a video for new players from the perspective of a new(ish) player!
    I joined the game about a month and a half ago, while Kurokage was the active raid boss. I'm really enjoying it so far!
    A couple of TH-camrs talk about making the switch from 'casually' playing the game to 'actively' once you're ready to start tackling the high-end raid difficulties and stuff like that. I'm really looking forward to intricately understanding how to build the right characters for the different fights and execute a good battle plan.
    Got my first taste beating up the, uh, first difficulty check of the main story at level 39. That was really fun to try and puzzle out with mostly 2 star students.

    • @Maxcie
      @Maxcie  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Welcome new sensei. I have not watched a lot of BA TH-camrs but I could definitely agree with that sentiment! For me right now, I sort of build up materials very casually for a month, then when the total assault drops I spend all I've gathered on fine tuning the characters I need for whatever boss. Dunno if I will ever shoot for clearing Insane difficulty, but I really enjoy the teambuilding and slight difficulty I get from Extreme every once and a while. Like you said, trying to piece together the students is a blast, team building is my favorite part of any rpg! Best of luck to you on your journey, thanks for the support :)

    It’s funny you say the reason you were able to progress so well is because you started on the 2.5 anniversary. I just started a little over a month ago for the 3 year and got so many good characters. Dress hina, swimsuit hoshino, Mika, swimsuit hanako and so many other good ones. I’m actually just saving up for the 3.5 year atm. Battle Hoshino and terror shiroko looks great. I might pull a little bit here and there but will save most of my pyro for that.

      @Zombiewood503 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@PathOfDamn no if you’re interested in the game you should definitely get into it. The story itself is a legit masterpiece imo. I’m obsessed with it. If I were starting fresh I would probably only do like 100-150 pulls to get some characters for missions, then save at least 24k pyro for the 3.5 banner (about 3ish months from now). After you have your stock pile just pull on banners you want, you get a lot more pyro as a new player. Probably the most important thing is planning and saving for the characters you want. we have an advantage on the global server with that because we’re 5-6 months behind Japan, so you can prepare way ahead of time.

    • @cartoonvideos5

      Cope, Wuthering Waves is much more F2P friendly than Credit Card Archive, and it has English voice acting, unlike Blue Archive, having only Chang, Jong, or Sushi talk.

    • @Pro-Diletante
      @Pro-Diletante หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ Well for one. This isn’t twitter BUCKO! So let’s keep this conversation productive kid. You know Maisie from Brawlstars? She is an Epic Brawler, is the voice acting in English… Yes! Is it good? (Especially in comparison to other brawlers?) certainly not. I understand you have no level of expertise here but good quality voice acting is more important to me than “more of the same voice acting in a different language” I don’t care and can understand why Wuthering Waves would have more languages or be more compatible with other languages simply because of the fact the characters have only so many voice lines and from I have played I am not impressed. I also can say that Wuthering Waves will always fail in comparison to Blue Archive because despite its issues with optimization. This game been out for longer and clearly has a strong target demographic that it sticks to. Wuthering Waves is a generalist game you get male, female and a small handful of characters I could maybe see a Blue Archive player liking. You talk about Gacha Rates but that’s irrelevant as people still love ZZZ despite me saying that slop is bad and has bad Gacha rates. Gacha rates are strong enough to tear a game down yes, but there is a severity to these things. Also Blue Archive has been out for simply longer. Now. I know you clearly don’t seem to have much gaming experience, or voice acting knowledge or experience. But simply to humor you a bit. The voice acting is not good in Wuthering Waves. I know you are okay with what I could colloquially name a “Mac Donald’s Game” but I would rather have good voice acting in a different language than bad voice acting in English. Also the voice acting so far and from what I have seen and listened to. Blue archive is simply better. When you hear bad voice acting you can tell when they aren’t trying also it’s simply won’t sound good. (Also if you want some anecdotal evidence I have peers that hear this games voice acting and would rather listen to what you colloquially name “Jong”, “Chang” or “Sushi Talk” over whatever YangYang is yapping about. ) You are also addressing something very subjective, so if you wish to die on this hill then go ahead. But your essay is going need more evidence, explanations on what you extrapolated and well… Formalities to say least. I would say that checks off most of my minor list but I don’t think I need the rest for you. You are talking to a person that keeps several spread sheets of how many gems and tickets they get in Blue Archive and Wuthering Waves so I take these things “pretty seriously”. Ok your turn buddy. *checks watch* (Also you don’t seem like the target demographic for any Gacha game but that’s just me. Maybe you are like those closeted Gacha Gamers just like those Closeted gay people.)

      This game progression cannot be rushed through. Even vets who know the game well will need to spend 4-5mths building a new account to tackle one specific torment raid (mind you they plan everything such as which banners to pull, what raids to sacrifice scire or even platinum ranking for so they do not over invest in units which arent necessary for the torment raid they want)
      Now i dont know how you pulled for characters but pulling only those 'meta' units without pulling for niche ones will result in you having a roster which has the base supports but no students which excel at their raids to help you progress. In the end you get a roster which doesnt suck at any raid but also doesnt excel at any raid relative to your progress.
      This usually also means you spread ur resources too thin to build the units you have for a raid but didnt invest any into because you thought you didnt need them.
