Blue Archive gears up for its newest update, "Pray-Ball! Swing for the Grand Slam!". Available now on iOS and Android, this release introduces a fresh story event, new recruitable students, and a wealth of rewards to pursue. If you've been looking for a reason to return after the Secret Midnight Party, this update delivers a compelling blend of story, strategy, and collectible bonuses.

Two new students take center stage in this Blue Archive update. Sumire (Part-Timer) joins the lineup as a formidable damage dealer. Her EX Skill singles out an enemy with Weakness Detection, then deals follow-up damage based on her ATK up to 240 times.

Conversely, Rei excels at circular area-of-effect attacks, providing a dependable option for handling groups of enemies. Both students are featured in the current recruitment banner until September 8th, boasting boosted rates to improve your chances of recruiting them.
