In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of recruitment and when you should pull Gacha Banners in Blue Archive.
In Blue Archive, you’ll want to expand the number of students you have available. The goal should be to acquire more 2- or 3-star characters, who have some of the best stats in the game. However, pulling a Gacha Banner is much more strategic than simply doing it every time the opportunity arises.
While some banners are worthwhile enough for the Pyroxene investment it takes to pull, others are simply not that valuable. In the following guide, we’ll understand the recruitment types in the game and also explain when you need to pull a Gacha Banner in Blue Archive.
Understanding the Different Types of Banners
The game features a variety of Banners or recruitment types. Understanding them will give you better insight into when you should pull and when you should hold. The following table lists the different types and explains what each is.
| Banner Type | What It Is |
| Regular Recruitment | Low value Banners that are always available. You only get non-limited units from these, and there aren’t any rate-ups either. |
| Pickup Recruitment | The most common banner type is where the rates are enhanced for a specific unit. However, you’ll need to complete 200 pulls for the enhanced rate. |
| Limited Pickup | The students you get from here don’t enter the general pool. Only pull these Banners if the character is great for support roles. Once gone, these Banners return only once a year or less. |
| Fest Recruitment | Great chances of pulling 3-star exclusive students. Such recruitments are only active during major anniversaries or events. The Banners might become available again later through another Fest Recruitment. |
| Special Recruitment | Spend a ticket you already have to pull Banners. Some of these tickets might guarantee a 3-star recruitment. You can earn tickets from events or purchase them separately. |

Tips To Pull Gacha Banners in Blue Archive
The following general tips should help you understand when you should or shouldn’t pull Banners.
- Always pull if there’s a high-value support Banner on the line, such as Koharu or Ako. These students can boost the stats of your entire squad.
- Don’t pull on a Banner just because it’s available. Instead, save your Pyroxene for Fest Recruitments. You’ll get better 3-star Banners from these. Also, some Fest Recruitments feature Banners that are exclusive to Fest, so you can unlock them through here.
- Some of the most popular Banners will likely have reruns. So, if you couldn’t get them the first time, wait for them to reappear.
