Blue Archive 200 Free Pulls Event Guide

Blue Archive is running a 200 Free Recruitments event alongside the Makoto (Swimsuit) and Satsuki (Swimsuit) Unique Pick-Up Recruitments. The campaign begins after maintenance on 2026-11-10 and ends on 2026-11-17 at 1:59 AM UTC. For the latest Blue Archive news and guides, visit the game hub.

Event Schedule and Free Pull Distribution

The event distributes free recruitments daily, with a large initial batch on day one. You can catch up on missed days as long as you log in before the event ends. The table below shows the distribution periods and cumulative totals, all in UTC.

If you log in for the first time on 2026-11-16 at 7:00 PM UTC, for example, you will receive all 200 free recruitments at once. The Free Recruitment event screen shows your remaining count, and the recruitment button will display "Free" when you have pulls available.

How Free Recruitments Work

Free recruitments can only be used on Pick-Up Recruitments. They cannot be used for 1-Recruitments. Each free pull grants 1 Unique Recruitment Charge and 1 Recruitment Mileage.

The Unique Recruitment Charge does not reset when the event ends; it carries over to the next Unique or Fest Recruitment. Recruitment Mileage is shared between concurrent Regular, Unique, and Fest Recruitments but does not carry over. This aligns with the broader recruitment revamp arriving on the same day, which replaces Recruitment Points with a Charges system. For a detailed breakdown, see our recruitment revamp explainer.

Unused free recruitments expire on 2026-11-17 at 2:00 AM UTC, one minute after the event ends. Plan to use them before that deadline.

Planning Advice for F2P and Low-Spend Players

With up to 200 free pulls, this event is a significant opportunity to chase Makoto (Swimsuit) or Satsuki (Swimsuit) without spending Pyroxene. Because free pulls still generate Unique Recruitment Charges and Mileage, they contribute to pity progress on the featured banners.

If you are targeting one of the swimsuit students, log in daily to collect pulls and avoid a last-minute rush. The catch-up mechanic means you can miss days, but you must log in before the event ends to claim everything. Remember that free pulls are tied to the event window and cannot be saved for future banners.
