Dive into Adventure with Blue Archive’s “Say-Bing!” Update

Exciting news for fans of Nexon’s RPG Action Strategy game, Blue Archive, as the game has just rolled out its latest update, “Say-Bing!”. This update brings a refreshing wave of content to the players, set in the bustling city of Kivotos where you, as an advisor to the Federal Investigation Club S.C.H.A.L.E., guide charming anime students through various city incidents with strategic gameplay and military action.

The “Say-Bing!” update immerses players in a new story arc, focusing on the students from Valkyrie Police School – Kanna, Fubuki, and Kirino – who are now taking on the roles of lifeguards at a local water park. This storyline isn’t just for fun; it’s packed with rewards like pyroxenes and new student Elephs. For those interested in the narrative behind the scenes, the “Valkyrie Blues Webview Event” offers a deeper look into the story.

One of the highlights of this update is the introduction of a new student, Kirino (Swimsuit). This Mystic Type support student brings unique abilities to the table, such as summoning a cover that boosts the attack of allies within a circular area, enhancing their max HP temporarily. Players can recruit Kirino (Swimsuit) by completing the first mission of the “Say-Bing” event story.

To celebrate the festive season, Blue Archive initiated a special Pick-Up Recruitment Event starting December 24. This event allows players to recruit special swimsuit versions of Kanna and Fubuki. Kanna (Swimsuit) is an explosive type striker who can deal significant damage while reducing enemy defense, whereas Fubuki (Swimsuit), with her ability to penetrate shields, is a formidable special student. This event runs until January 6 at 5:59 PM PT.

Additionally, the update introduced “The Fury of Set (Light Armor)” season on December 24, offering players the chance to gather essential in-game resources like Credit Points, Enhancement Stones, and Workbooks, which are crucial for unlocking new talents. This season will conclude on January 22 at 10:59 AM PT.

Starting January 7, players can participate in the “Valkyrie Blues Web Event,” where daily viewing of new hidden YouTube videos unlocks special rewards. Here’s how you can get involved: tap the ‘Valkyrie Blues (WEB EVENT)’ banner in the game lobby, watch the episodes as they’re released, and claim your rewards directly into your in-game mailbox, which are available for 7 days.
