All banners share the same recruitment period. You can use Recruitment Points earned from pulling to directly recruit the featured student at a rate of 200 points per recruitment. Points do not carry over between different banners, so plan accordingly.
Should You Pull?
Konoka and Rena are new to Blue Archive, and their full potential is not yet established. Check their skill kits once they are available to see if they fit into your current team compositions. If you are a collector or enjoy experimenting with new strategies, these are worthwhile targets.
Hare (Camp), Kotama (Camp), Maki (Camp), and Misaki are returning students. If you missed their initial runs, this is a prime opportunity to add them to your roster. Consider their roles in existing meta teams — for example, Camp Hare has been a valuable support in certain tough content. Review your current lineup and prioritize based on your gameplay goals, especially for Total Assault and Joint Firing Drill events.
F2P and low-spend players should be especially careful. With six banners running simultaneously, spreading pulls thin reduces your chances of hitting pity on any one student. It is often better to choose one or two priority targets and commit your Pyroxene there.
Important Notes
- Recruitment Points expire at the end of the banner period. Use them at least 5 minutes before maintenance to avoid loss.
- After the banners end, these students will be added to the Regular Recruitment pool (subject to standard rates).
- Check the official Blue Archive guide on Recruitment for full details.
Final Thoughts
The July 21 banner lineup offers a mix of new and returning students. Whether you pull for Konoka and Rena or go after the Camp reruns, make sure your Pyroxene spending aligns with your account’s needs.
