Reroll Guide

Welcome, Sensei! Rerolling in Blue Archive is a common strategy for new players to secure a strong start by obtaining powerful students early on. While not strictly necessary to enjoy the game, a successful reroll can significantly ease your progression through early game content like Story missions, Raids, and PvP. This detailed guide will walk you through the most efficient rerolling process.

What is Rerolling?

Rerolling involves repeatedly creating new game accounts until you achieve a desirable outcome from the initial free gacha pulls. In Blue Archive, this means aiming for specific 3-star students who are considered top-tier for various game modes.

Preparation: What You'll Need

  • A reliable internet connection: Downloading game data is a recurring step.
  • Sufficient storage space: Blue Archive is a substantial game.
  • Time and Patience: Rerolling can be a time-consuming process, often taking 15-20 minutes per attempt.
  • Guest Account Option: This is crucial for quick rerolls. Avoid linking to Google/Apple/Facebook until you're satisfied with your account.

Reroll Targets: Who to Aim For

While the meta shifts with new student releases, some students consistently remain excellent reroll targets due to their versatility and power. Prioritize students who excel in multiple areas.

Top-Tier Generalists:

  • Himari: An absolute must-have for endgame content, especially Raids. Her EX Skill provides an unparalleled ATK buff.
  • Ako: Another top-tier support, Ako's critical damage buff is essential for maximizing damage output.
  • Iroha: A powerful Special student who summons a tank, providing both damage and utility. Excellent for early progression.
  • Haruna (New Year): A strong attacker with excellent single-target damage, particularly useful in specific Raids.

Strong Contenders:

  • Izuna: A fantastic Mystic attacker, great for specific raid bosses.
  • Koharu: A strong healer with good utility, especially for early game survivability.
  • Shun: While her utility has slightly decreased with newer students, she remains a solid choice for PvP speed.

Ideal Scenario: Aim for at least one of Himari or Ako, ideally both if possible. Securing one of these alongside another strong attacker or utility student will set you up for success.

The Reroll Process: Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1: Initial Game Download & Launch

  1. Download Blue Archive from your respective app store (iOS/Android).
  2. Launch the game. You'll be prompted to download additional game data. This is the longest part of the initial setup.

Step 2: Guest Account & Tutorial

  1. Upon reaching the title screen, select "Guest Login." Do NOT link an account yet.
  2. Proceed through the initial story segments. You can tap to skip dialogue to speed this up.
  3. Complete the mandatory tutorial missions. This includes the first combat encounter and basic UI explanations.

Step 3: First Free Pulls

  1. After the tutorial, you'll be granted your first free 10-pull from the "Recruit" section. This is your first chance at a desirable 3-star student.
  2. Review your results. If you get a top-tier student (e.g., Himari, Ako), consider keeping this account.

Step 4: Claiming Pre-Registration & Mail Rewards

  1. Once you gain full control of the main menu, navigate to the "Mailbox" icon (top right corner).
  2. Claim all available rewards. This typically includes a significant amount of Pyroxene (the premium currency) from pre-registration bonuses, new player campaigns, and various events.
  3. Also, check the "Tasks" menu for any easy-to-claim Pyroxene.

Step 5: Performing Additional Pulls

  1. With the claimed Pyroxene, head back to the "Recruit" section.
  2. Perform as many 10-pulls as you can afford on the current "Limited" or "Rate-Up" banner. These banners often feature the most powerful students.
  3. Strategy: Focus on banners that feature your desired reroll targets. Avoid the "Permanent" banner unless you have no other options, as its student pool is much larger.

Step 6: Evaluate Your Pulls

  • Did you get your target students (e.g., Himari, Ako, Iroha)?
  • Did you get a good combination of strong 3-star students?
  • If you are satisfied, proceed to Step 7. If not, it's time to reroll.

Step 7: Rerolling (If Unsatisfied)

If your pulls were not satisfactory, you need to reset your game data. There are two primary methods:

Method A: Clear Data (Android)
  1. Close the Blue Archive app completely.
  2. Go to your device's "Settings" -> "Apps" or "Applications."
  3. Find "Blue Archive" in the list.
  4. Select "Storage" -> "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache."
  5. Relaunch the game and repeat from Step 1. This will redownload the initial game data.
Method B: Delete & Reinstall (iOS & Some Android Devices)
  1. Close the Blue Archive app completely.
  2. Uninstall the Blue Archive app from your device.
  3. Reinstall the Blue Archive app from the App Store/Google Play Store.
  4. Relaunch the game and repeat from Step 1. This will redownload the initial game data.

Note: Some emulators or devices might have a more direct "Delete Account" option within the game's title screen settings. If available, this is the fastest method as it often bypasses the full data redownload.

Step 8: Account Binding (Once Satisfied)

Once you have an account with the students you want, immediately bind it to a permanent account (Google, Apple, Facebook, or Nexon ID). This prevents accidental loss of your progress.

  1. From the main menu, tap the "Menu" icon (top right, usually three lines).
  2. Select "Account."
  3. Choose your preferred binding method and follow the prompts.

Tips for Efficient Rerolling

  • Use an Emulator: Emulators like Bluestacks or NoxPlayer on PC can often speed up the reroll process by allowing for multiple instances (multi-instance manager) or faster data clearing.
  • Skip Story: Always tap to skip dialogue and cutscenes to save time.
  • Focus on Current Banners: Always prioritize the limited-time rate-up banners for your reroll pulls, as they offer the best chance for specific powerful students.
  • Don't Be Greedy (But Don't Settle): While aiming for the absolute perfect account is ideal, know when to stop. A good account with one or two top-tier students is often sufficient.
  • Check Tier Lists: Consult up-to-date community tier lists for the latest information on strong students, especially when new banners are released.

Good luck, Sensei! May your rerolls be blessed with powerful students!
