Blue Archive 100-Free Recruitment Event Ending Soon

The 100-Free Recruitment event in Blue Archive is about to close. Starting back on May 26, the event has been giving players up to 100 free pulls for logging in daily. If you haven't exhausted your free recruitments yet, the window closes on June 9 at 2:00 AM (UTC).

This event is your last chance to secure the featured students — Rio (Armed) and Himari (Armed) — without spending Pyroxene. Both students have strong utility in high-difficulty content, and missing them could mean waiting for a rerun months down the line.

For the latest Blue Archive news and banner schedules, keep an eye on our hub. Below is everything you need to know before the event ends.

At a Glance

• Event duration: May 26 (Tue) after maintenance – June 9 (Tue) 1:59 AM (UTC)
• Total free pulls: Up to 100 (one-time grant after logging in)
• Claim method: Log in to the game anytime before the event ends; previous days' free pulls are awarded retroactively.
• Eligible banners: All Pick-Up Recruitments and Regular Recruitments (except Archive Recruitment)
• Recruitment Points: Earn 1 per free pull; unused points convert to Keystone Pieces at a 1:1 ratio after the event.
• Expiration: Free recruitments and any unspent Recruitment Points disappear on June 9 at 2:00 AM (UTC).

Event Details & Schedule

The event is straightforward: log in and receive all 100 free pulls at once. For example, if you log in for the first time on June 8 at 7:00 PM UTC, the game will immediately grant you the full 100 recruitments. You can then use them on any active banner that accepts free recruitments.

Note that free recruitments cannot be saved beyond the event. Any unused free pulls vanish at the deadline, and Recruitment Points earned from free pulls are also limited to the event period — after the event, they convert to Keystone Pieces.

Should You Pull?

Yes, if you are missing Rio (Armed) or Himari (Armed), or want their duplicates for stronger constellations. Both units offer solid performance in endgame content:

• Rio (Armed): A powerful DPS option with high single-target damage and self-sustain mechanics. Her ability to ignore certain enemy buffs makes her valuable in tough raid encounters.
• Himari (Armed): A support hybrid that provides attack buffs and healing, freeing up team slots for additional damage dealers. She fits well in both PvE and PvP teams.

If you already own both, consider using the free pulls to chase dupes for their synergy upgrades or to save Pyroxene for future banners. F2P and low-spend players should prioritize getting at least one copy of each, as their rerun windows are uncertain.

Events & Rewards

No other time-limited tasks are attached to this event beyond logging in. However, the 100 free pulls effectively function as a Pyroxene-saving tool — you can redirect saved currency toward upcoming banners without sacrificing chances on the current one.

Make sure to spend your free recruitments and earned Recruitment Points before the deadline. After the event ends, any leftover Recruitment Points become Keystone Pieces automatically sent to your mailbox.

Conclusion

The 100-Free Recruitment event gives you a substantial head start on building a roster without spending premium currency. Log in before June 9 at 2:00 AM (UTC) to claim all your free pulls, and use them strategically on Rio (Armed) or Himari (Armed). Don't let these pulls expire — missing them means leaving value on the table.
