Blue Archive 9/15 Maintenance: What You Need to Know

Sensei, a scheduled maintenance is coming to Kivotos on 2025-09-15 (Tue) from 02:00 to 06:00 UTC. The Schale Secretariat Office has confirmed that players will be unable to connect during this window, and a compensation of 480 Pyroxene will be distributed afterward.

This maintenance isn't just about server stability—it marks the end of several limited-time recruitments, events, and shop packs. If you've been putting off claiming rewards or spending recruitment points, now is the time to act. Below is a breakdown of everything ending, plus a checklist to help you prepare.

Banners Ending: Last Chance for Erika, Kirara, and More

The 9/15 maintenance will bring an end to five Pick-Up Recruitments: Erika, Kirara, Tsubaki (Guide), Umika, and Pina (Guide). Along with their departure, any accumulated Recruitment Points will be reset. If you're close to a spark (200 points) on any of these banners, you'll want to finish your pulls before the servers go down.

Should You Pull?

With the banners ending, this is your final window to acquire these students. Erika and Kirara are the headliners, while Tsubaki (Guide) and Pina (Guide) offer alternative versions of familiar characters. If you're a collector or need specific roles for upcoming content, evaluate your Pyroxene stash carefully. Remember that Recruitment Points do not carry over—any unused points will be lost.

Events & Rewards: Claim Before They're Gone

Two ongoing events will also conclude with the maintenance:

• Event Story: "Pray-Ball! Swing for the Grand Slam!" — The event period ends, but reward claim and exchange remain open until 2025-09-22 (Tue) 02:00 UTC.
• Mini Event: "Balancing Schale's Books with the General Student Council" — Same as above: event period ends on 9/15, but reward claim/exchange lasts until 9/22.

Additionally, the Total Assault: KAITEN FX Mk.0 (Urban Warfare) ranking and total points reward claim period ends on 2025-09-22 (Tue) 02:00 UTC. If you haven't secured your ranking rewards, make sure to do so before that deadline.

Also ending on 9/22: the limited task clear period for Mini Story: ON AIR: Gehenna (Ep. 1-2). Clear those tasks if you want the associated rewards.

Shop & Pack Rotations: Spring Day Sales End

A variety of limited-time packs will be removed from the Pyroxene Shop on 2025-09-15 (Tue). These include:

• Spring Day Crafting Pack
• Spring Day Growth Pack
• Spring Day Trinity Skill Growth Pack
• Spring Day Gehenna Skill Growth Pack
• Spring Day Millennium Skill Growth Pack
• Spring Day Valkyrie Skill Growth Pack
• Custom Preferred Gift Pack
• Weekly AP Pack III

If you were planning to purchase any of these, do so before maintenance begins. Note that pack availability and pricing are subject to change, and no further details were provided in the announcement.

Pre-Patch To-Dos: Don't Lose Your Progress

The Schale Secretariat Office recommends completing major content and claiming all rewards about 5 minutes before maintenance starts, as the exact start time can vary by 1–2 minutes depending on your device. Here's a quick checklist:

• Spend any remaining Recruitment Points on the ending banners.
• Claim all rewards from "Pray-Ball! Swing for the Grand Slam!" and the mini event.
• Check your Total Assault ranking rewards and claim them if you haven't.
• Clear any remaining limited tasks for ON AIR: Gehenna (Ep. 1-2).
• Purchase any Spring Day packs you want before they're gone.
• Use up any AP that might overflow during maintenance (though the 6-hour window is short).

Day-1 Priorities: After the Update

Once maintenance concludes, log in to collect your 480 Pyroxene compensation. The announcement notes that further maintenance details will be provided at a later date, so keep an eye on official channels for any additional changes or new content. As always, prioritize any new events or banners that may arrive—but those specifics are not stated in official materials.
