How Recollection Recruitment Works

Unlike standard Pick-Up banners, Recollection Recruitment lets you select one of the five listed students as your Pick-Up target. The acquisition rate for that student becomes 0.700000%, the same as a typical Pick-Up rate for a 3★ unit.

You can also accumulate Recollection Points during the period and use them to directly select and recruit a Recollection Recruitment student. These points are not shared with other recruitment systems, so they only apply here.

Important: Students selectable as Pick-Up targets in this Recollection Recruitment will no longer appear in future Fest Recruitments. If you have been waiting for one of these units, this may be your last guaranteed chance for the foreseeable future. The notice also states that Recollection Recruitment may be held again in the future, though no schedule has been set.

Should You Pull?

Pull If…

• You are missing a key meta unit like Mika or Wakamo and want a targeted chance to get them.
• You are a collector aiming to complete a specific student archive.
• You have been saving Pyroxene specifically for one of these five students.

Skip If…

• You are saving for an upcoming Fest banner or another limited unit not listed here.
• You already own the student you would select and have no interest in duplicates.
• Your Pyroxene reserves are low and you prefer to wait for a future rate-up with shared pity.

Save For…

• Future Fest Recruitments, which may feature other limited students. Note that the five students here will not appear in future Fest banners, so if you want them, this is the time.

Who Benefits Most

• New players: A chance to grab a powerful 3★ carry like Mika or Hina (Dress) to anchor early teams.
• Midgame players: Filling a missing role (e.g., Hoshino (Swimsuit) for blue damage or Hanako (Swimsuit) for healing) can unlock new team compositions.
• Min-spend players: The targeted rate is higher than a standard 3★ rate, making it a relatively efficient use of Pyroxene if you specifically need one of these units.
• Collectors: If you are chasing a complete set, this is a direct path to a missing student.

Preparation Checklist

• Check your Pyroxene: Ensure you have enough for a full spark (200 pulls) if you intend to use Recollection Points. The exact spark cost is not stated in official materials, but typically 200 points are needed.
• Plan your target: Decide which student you will select before the banner starts. You can only choose one Pick-Up target.
• Complete daily tasks: Accumulate Pyroxene from daily missions and events before the banner ends.
• Note the deadline: The banner ends 2025-11-03 at 01:59 UTC. Set a reminder to use your points at least 5 minutes before the end, as the notice warns of possible 1–2 minute discrepancies.

Community Signals

Official channels have not released additional details beyond the in-game notice. No stream or developer commentary has clarified future Recollection Recruitment schedules. Treat any unconfirmed rumors about reruns as speculation.

Final Takeaway

Recollection Recruitment is a rare targeted banner that lets you choose your 3★ prize. If one of the five featured students is on your wishlist, this is a strong opportunity. Otherwise, keep saving for future Fest banners. For more Blue Archive guides and news, check our game hub.
