Blue Archive August 4 Maintenance: Banners Ending & Event Wrap-Up
Blue Archive’s August 4 maintenance ends several banners and the Tsuchinoko event. Here’s what to finish before the downtime and what’s coming next.
Blue Archive is scheduled for a regular maintenance on August 4, 2025, from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM (UTC). The update will end several ongoing banners and the current event, so players should plan accordingly. For the latest Blue Archive news, keep an eye on our coverage.
This maintenance brings the conclusion of the Kivotos' Unsolved Mystery: In Search of Tsuchinoko, the Unknown Creature event and a handful of recruitments. Here's a breakdown of what's ending and what you need to do before the servers go down.
At a Glance
- Maintenance: August 4, 2:00 AM – 6:00 AM (UTC)
- Compensation: Pyroxene x480
- Banners ending: Konoka, Rena, Hare (Camp), Kotama (Camp), Maki (Camp), and Misaki recruitments end; Recruitment Points reset.
- Event ending: Kivotos' Unsolved Mystery event period ends.
- My Office tasks: Event story completion special task period ends.
Banners Ending & Should You Pull?
The following Pick-Up Recruitment banners will close with the August 4 maintenance:
- Konoka
- Rena
- Hare (Camp)
- Kotama (Camp)
- Maki (Camp)
- Misaki
All Recruitment Points for these banners will reset to zero. If you are close to pity, now is the time to decide. Konoka and Rena are limited units that may not return for a while, so if you have the Pyroxene and need them for your roster, consider pulling before the deadline. For F2P players, saving for future meta-defining banners might be the better call, but if you lack a strong healer or a specific role, these units can fill gaps.
Should You Pull?
– Konoka: A solid support unit. Worth it if you need a healer.
– Rena: A strong DPS option. Good for players lacking a blue damage dealer.
– Camp variants: These are often niche but can be useful in specific content. Evaluate your current team needs.
Events & Rewards
The Kivotos' Unsolved Mystery: In Search of Tsuchinoko, the Unknown Creature event is ending its main period on August 4. The reward claim and exchange period will continue until August 11, 2025, at 2:00 AM (UTC). Additionally, the Grand Assault: Hieronymus (Urban Warfare) ranking and total points reward claim period also ends on August 11.
Make sure to:
– Clear all event story stages before maintenance.
– Claim any unclaimed rewards from the event shop.
– Complete the My Office special tasks tied to the event story.
Pre-Patch To-Do List
Before the August 4 maintenance, prioritize the following:
- Spend Recruitment Points on the ending banners if you are close to pity.
- Complete event story stages and claim all available rewards.
- Finish My Office tasks related to the event.
- Claim Grand Assault rewards if you haven't already (these last until August 11, but it's good to do it early).
Note that maintenance start times can vary by 1–2 minutes depending on your device. It's recommended to finish all time-sensitive content about 5 minutes before the scheduled start.
Looking Ahead
With the August 4 update, Blue Archive will likely introduce new banners and events. While official details are not yet available, players can expect a new event story and fresh recruitments. Stay tuned to our Blue Archive guides for the latest updates.
Conclusion
The August 4 maintenance is a routine update, but it marks the end of several important banners and the current event. Make sure to wrap up your unfinished business before the downtime. With 480 Pyroxene as compensation, you'll have a small boost for whatever comes next.
