Blue Archive's Serenade Sparks Festive Update

Blue Archive has just unveiled exciting new details about its latest event, "Basking in the Brilliance of Their Serenade." This captivating story follows a teacher from Kivotos as they help Gehenna Academy organize an unforgettable celebration. Filled with surprises, let’s break down everything you need to know.

What’s In Store In Basking in the Brilliance of Their Serenade?

The event features seven challenging stages. Complete the "Pandemonium Society Executive Office Main Gate" stage to recruit Ibuki, a mystery-type striker and beloved mascot of Gehenna Academy's student council.

Players can also dive into "Field Exploration," a mode where you guide Hina through various locations, complete quests, and enhance her Piano Proficiency. As you progress, you'll unlock valuable rewards, including Pyroxenes and Ibuki’s Elephs.

This event also introduces three new characters to the Blue Archive roster. Makoto, the eccentric chairman of Gehenna Academy's student council, joins as a Piercing-Type special student. Her EX skill unleashes devastating area-of-effect damage within a circular radius.

Ako, the sharply dressed senior administrator of the Gehenna Prefect Team, arrives as an Explosive-Type Striker. She significantly boosts her allies' critical stats and gains Successful Protection for every nearby ally, amplifying her own damage output.

Finally, Hina, the formidable Head Prefect of the Gehenna Prefect Team, plays a central role in the event. Available through the Fes recruitment from July 30th, this Explosive-Type Striker can activate her EX skill to switch to Concentrated Fire, firing piercing bullets that tear through enemy lines.
