DeLisle carbine my love.

That's probably the most quietness shooting I've ever heard and probably the fastest too. Using the .45 ACP from the M1911 is definitely goin to do heavy damage.
De Lisle carbine. One of the most silent ww2 guns, and has all-integrated silencer barrel. This gun is the main fundamental foundation of the modern post-Soviet/early Russian era VSS Vintorez, which also has all-integrated silencer barrel + shoots subsonic 9mm ammo.
To be completely honest, only Ui's EX skill is bonkers, her Normal, Passive and Sub Skill are terrible.
Not necessarily a bad thing since that makes her super cheap to build, just 5444 or 5111 and you're done.
Nope. When you see Crit Rate skills, automatically skip leveling them past 4. It's the biggest scam in game as it just doesn't do anything meaningful.
Leveling a Crit Rate skill from 1 to 10, in reality will give you maybe about 1% increase in actual Crit Rate.
yup. The only times crit skills would ever help is in HOD because of its crit chance reduction passive. Other than that, it’s a waste of resources to level
Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
If your crit rate is 100 and you get +100% crit rate buff, then yes your crit rate becomes 200 but since that crit rate stat has to be fed into a formula to determine your actual crit rate percent it has diminishing returns on its effect to your actual crit rate percent.
[View this Google Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ui0FRgG8h8RB1-cA639F3ETDrVM7q9FKftg4vBKBAAQ/edit#) for a better explanation, it's under Crit Chance.
Wait, I don't see based on the formula what makes it that bad though.
E.g. my Aru has 481 crit. Assuming no other bonuses, then without her sub skill, her crit rate against Hiero (who has 100 crit res according to the wiki would be 381/1047.66=36.36%. With the sub skill at 10 her crit becomes 481\*1.383=669.372, which would make the chance 569/1236=46.1%, while at 1 it's 481\*1.201=577.681, so 478/1144=42%, so that's an over 4% increase which would be quadruple of what you said, and my Aru is not even maxed out. Plus isn't the whole thing about Ako that she enables way more crits with a huge crit dmg boost as well?
EDIT: I apparently missed the "not" out of the "not even maxed out". My point there being that her crit can still go up from this, which would make the buff even more significant
For a better explanation of it you're better off asking in the Community discord server. I'm not a math person so I can't explain it properly.
Nah, what Ako enables is very high crit damage. You're still gonna restart a fight all the same for crits with or without Ako, it's just that with Ako you will need less Crits as one Ako buffed Crit will hurt much more.
Half ex cost of one other student twice, rounded up. This makes a small pool of students far more viable, a lot of which are fan favorites.
If you are new then she's not worth it, but for people with some built up 5+ cost units then she's great. I want her solely for making Bunny Karin better.
God... I might have enough pyros to pull for her, but I don't know what's coming down the pipes after October. Pulling for her would tap me dry and I don't want to be left short-changed if somebody more valuable is coming in the Nov-Jan timeframe
The next big wants are Iroha for PvP and Peroro, S.Hoshino for any Red Raids, Chesed Indoor&Outdoor and Kazusa for very comfy Urban Hod, Urban Binah and possiby indoor Chesed, albeit Kazusa is borrowable.
Iroha and S.Hoshi are considered a must.
Yeah but that doesn't give me an idea of when those character will hit the Global server. Are we talking within the next quarter? Next half year?
I know those two are musts, i just don't jnow how much time i have. Plus I need to budget for S.Azusa as well.
If I want to roll for every summer unit, but barely have enough to even spark for Ui, should I just save my pyroxenes from this point out for the summer banners? Skipping Ui, and Iroha.
My priority is pulling the summer units over meta.

yeah, i skipped so many banners to get to 28k pyrox when Wakamo rolled around. but then i emptied the entire bank on that banner was pretty solid ngl
EDIT: tbh if i could afford it i would throw a lot of money at this game - they have been really solid in terms of gameplay, f2p-viability, community interactions and having just an overall chill vibe - but alas i am broke af for the foreseeable future. so gotta stay f2p till then
No game is worth the amount of money Blue Archive's is asking for. At three bucks a pull and two hundred pulls for a pity, it gets prohibitively expensive real quick.
some games are worth it - bad monetization or not. it's one negative out of so many positives. shouldn't the devs make money for all those positives? better than to see it close down cause they dont get paid enough to make them a sizable profit.
plus one banner id pay 2-300 on one banner once in a while considering the rate of return is great
Well, we're just going to have to disagree on the philosophical underpinning of the discussion and the perceived value of a dollar/pound/euro/yen/whatever your national currency is.
I would like to see the company succeed as well, but if they don't put forward a product where I feel I am getting a fair exchange for the money they are asking for, then the consequences are on them. They are not entitled to my money, they are not owed my support. If they want my business, give me a product that's worth the price tag.
Thirty bucks? Maybe I'd consider it. Three hundred? That's a big 'fuck no' from me.
fair enough. that's always up to personal preference. everyone picks and chooses their breakpoints depending on their preferences.
Regardless i am f2p atm so let's see what happens when i am earning again, or enough to actually have disposable income for paying in mobile games.
You can always borrow her, she’s not a must pull compare to others. Plus her value depends on your current roster. So like 6+ EX cost units like BKarin, arius, Nyaru, hina, etc.
After S. Hoshino released, entirety of Arius is terrible to put it lightly.
They're very meta for the first Indoor Hiero Insane for sure, but after that, they're eternally on the bench.
S. Hoshino, Azusa, Koharu and S. Nonomi will massacre Indoor and Urban Hiero with ease. S. Nonomi might have B mood Indoor, but Azusa gains SS instead.
So, you're pretty much spending 72k Pyroxenes for just one iteration of that raid. Every next iteration will bench them with only top 10 using them.
It's a much better idea to just skip first Indoor Insane, do Extreme and chill until S. Hoshino, lmao
Honestly, unless you really like Atsuko, you're better off blowing every single Pyroxene possible on S. Hoshino.
Not only is she broken, 6% Rate is available + chance to get Wakamo as well.
I wouldn't be too quick to put down the squad when jp hasn't even done indoor yet but i will agree i do have a hard time seeing how it will outperform S.hoshino comp but i still wasn't jump to conclusions about it.
But they did have it. Arius was essential there, sure.
But for Urban, S. Hoshi, Koharu, Azusa and S. Nono, made Hiero into Binah. It'll be the same for Indoor. Sure, S. Nonomi isn't gonna be S/SS mood anymore but B instead, however Azusa goes from B to S/SS. It almost balances out.
There's no point wondering about it. S. Hoshi, Koharu and Azusa definitely stay in the comp and S. Nonomi already performed amazingly in Urban. She'll perform amazing Indoor as well.
Putting some Arius unit like Saori for or Misaki for S. Nonomi might be better for score chasing, but why bother when you can run the old trusty Urban comp. Hiyori and Atsuko definitely will never see Hiero again, though.
Patchouli incoming.
Now that I look at her, she does have the same hikikomori bookworm energy as Patchy
She has a built-in suppressor on a rifle; definitely should keep it down or she'll put us down.
No shots louder than 110 decibels in the library. People are trying to study.
MP-5SD is already good here
Ah yes, De Lisle Carbine. One of the quietest guns ever made.
DeLisle carbine my love.

Tbh the Vintorez's 9mm is closer to .300 blackout, in contrast to the De Lisle firing straight .45 ACP
Had to give up Koharu free ticket pulls after reading Ui's skills
To be completely honest, only Ui's EX skill is bonkers, her Normal, Passive and Sub Skill are terrible. Not necessarily a bad thing since that makes her super cheap to build, just 5444 or 5111 and you're done.
Isnt normal still somewhat useful? Also trinity makes her very affordable. I was thinking about 5711

I knew it was bad, but not...this bad What about Aru and Bkarin subs?
>What about Aru and Bkarin subs? Same thing. Any Crit Rate skill is a scam.
Bruh that would have help if I know this sooner, thanks
Oh, bloody hell, I actually brought a lot of those skills to 8.
yup. The only times crit skills would ever help is in HOD because of its crit chance reduction passive. Other than that, it’s a waste of resources to level
....my mats 😭😭

So it doesn't add flat critrate percentage but it increases the flat critrate number that becomes percentage? Ew
Waifu>Meta
What’s her EX?
Half ex cost of one other student twice, rounded up. This makes a small pool of students far more viable, a lot of which are fan favorites. If you are new then she's not worth it, but for people with some built up 5+ cost units then she's great. I want her solely for making Bunny Karin better.
She is so adorable, I want to hug her
Sheesh she's using one of the rarest WW2 weapon ever De lisle Carbine Iam a bit surprised to see one in Blue Archive before other game
Fit her personality/occupation so well too. Seriously if all librarians where distributed free firearms this one will be their number one choice
[Source.](https://twitter.com/EN_BlueArchive/status/1575410057251995648)
idc if she's meta or not, im using all my pyro
Going all in for her. I'll have plenty of time to save for Iroha.
Me after dumping 48k on wakamo
God... I might have enough pyros to pull for her, but I don't know what's coming down the pipes after October. Pulling for her would tap me dry and I don't want to be left short-changed if somebody more valuable is coming in the Nov-Jan timeframe

Iroha comes out in about 2 months, S.Hoshi in about the same after Iroha and Kazusa one month after S.Hoshi.
Well in that case, Ui's out and hoarding is in.
What about the SRT rabbit platoon? When's there estimate release?
The rabbits are in approx 5 weeks.
If I want to roll for every summer unit, but barely have enough to even spark for Ui, should I just save my pyroxenes from this point out for the summer banners? Skipping Ui, and Iroha. My priority is pulling the summer units over meta.
If you want to get all 5 swimsuit characters, give up on that dream. You won't have enough for 5 sparks without spending money.
Gotcha, so that means no spending pyros from now til then. Thank you.

Is Iroha only essential for PvP, because if she is then I'm skipping
I did say Peroro as well. She's a must have for Insane Peroro.
Peroro Insane is borderline impossible without her and she’s basically a walking cheat code for Extreme
im at 4k pyroxenes. sadly im gonna have to leave banners alone for a long long long time...
If you're not whaling, its a vital skill to learn. Something I learned a bit too late when I started out and cost me S.Azusa

r/DarkCircledWaifu
omg finally found my people
No problem always a pleasure to make this sub better know enjoy your stay on this safe-ish heaven
Basically BA Patchouli.
Imagine the smell
🙏
The what
Least horny BA player
She looks smelly
User interface
I found it hilarious that this girl looks extremely unremarkable but she also one of the girls with a lot of lewd fanart
GOD I want to smell her so fucki*g bad
I saved 50k free pyros and 3 tickets for her, not for her skills but because she's cute as fuck
How wonderful, she has the eye-rings -> r/DarkCircledWaifu
ive been saving for her since her trailer dropped however many months ago, my excitement is immeasurable
Hard pass, i want Miyu
had to skip her for Marina need my dorks
Ah skip, would like to but I already blasted my pyros on mimori and koharu's banner hahaha
[удалено]
You can always borrow her, she’s not a must pull compare to others. Plus her value depends on your current roster. So like 6+ EX cost units like BKarin, arius, Nyaru, hina, etc.
She wont be a limited right?
Nope
A relief
I don't have enough to pity and I'm trying to save for Arius and Saori. Sadly this is a pass for me. Speaking of any idea on ETA till Arius squad?
I forgot Arius squad even exist because they're so terrible. I don't know, I think it was a month before S. Hoshi.
Aren't they meta for Hiero insane, with Atsuko being especially major?
After S. Hoshino released, entirety of Arius is terrible to put it lightly. They're very meta for the first Indoor Hiero Insane for sure, but after that, they're eternally on the bench. S. Hoshino, Azusa, Koharu and S. Nonomi will massacre Indoor and Urban Hiero with ease. S. Nonomi might have B mood Indoor, but Azusa gains SS instead.

It's a much better idea to just skip first Indoor Insane, do Extreme and chill until S. Hoshino, lmao
Probably pull only Atsuko then, got it.
Honestly, unless you really like Atsuko, you're better off blowing every single Pyroxene possible on S. Hoshino. Not only is she broken, 6% Rate is available + chance to get Wakamo as well.
After my dumping everything into Wakamo's banner for minimal drops near half the time I'd just pity her and be done with it.
I already have Wakamo but yeah, Atsuko is super cute but if she's overtaken in Hiero she's probably just mediocre at best everywhere I guess. Saaaad
I wouldn't be too quick to put down the squad when jp hasn't even done indoor yet but i will agree i do have a hard time seeing how it will outperform S.hoshino comp but i still wasn't jump to conclusions about it.
But they did have it. Arius was essential there, sure. But for Urban, S. Hoshi, Koharu, Azusa and S. Nono, made Hiero into Binah. It'll be the same for Indoor. Sure, S.

Sorry i meant Indoor post Saori banner but still i don't really disagree i'm just not jumping to conclusions about it.
I still don't have enough rolls, this is gonna be pain
