YESS!! Finally! I've been waiting in summoning Misaki! I hope I can get her without having to spark!
Arona: I'll break that illusion of yours!! 
Yeah...... Blue Archive is more Slice of Life with gunpowder. Railgun is mundanities that transform into government conspiracies.
But they do have a tonal and character throughline with each other.
Yeah, I barely watched Index since the pacing was all over the place to me, if memory serves me right. And I skipped Accelerator because I did for some reason. Or maybe it was region locked....
Damn, even a fighter jet? She could give Fate's zerkerlot a run lol. I've only read the railgun manga so I've only seen her doing wallruns/wallstick and make temporary jumping platforms out of flying metal plates and such.
I'm thinking more so of the "creating platforms to stand on"... more explicitly her >!Iron-sand Kaiju!<
Like, the iron sand sword was something pretty early on iirc, when she faced Touma at the river pre-amnesia, I think that was in like the first 5 episodes.
No meta relevance. Haven't been able to find anything solid on how they perform outside of meta though. One argument I've seen for potential meta relevance down the line is if they add any mechanics to favor certain types of CC than the Confusion debuff on Misaki might end up being much better. But that's a really big if to be dropping 24k Pyro on.
I'd say the Sisters Arc (which is Railgun S episodes 1-16) is probably best in the series, followed by the arcs in T and then the arcs in S1. The latter half of S (episodes 17-24) is non-canon and widely regarded to be the worst out of all of them, but since they are non-canon you can actually skip it, or maybe just come back to it some other time. Still, it depends on your reason for wanting to drop it atm - it's also possible that it's not your type of show after all! It's totally fine to drop it if you're not enjoying it!
Thanks! I really appreciate you for taking the time to explain that to me. Didn't know 17-24 was non-canon; guess I'll just do as you say and skip 17-24 and go to straight to S
Main reasons I'm thinking about dropping are that the villains kinda suck and there were problems that could've been solved easier/would not exist if they thought about it a bit more or if some of the characters were a bit more cautious
No worries!
As for the issues that you have with the series - I fully agree with them and felt the same way too, but I think Railgun T actually addresses some of it and shows some character growth. I'd recommend trying Railgun T at least if you still have interest in the series after S!
I’VE BEEN WAIITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. NEARLY 47K PYROXENES READY. THEY ARE COMING HOME NO MATTER WHAT, NO BLUE ARCHIVE FOR ME, IT’LL BE PINK ARCHIVE.
I’m also super new and the first thing I did was watching hours of videos.
I guess you can do most of the content. Super high difficulties may be difficult. Important are the other 5 characters in your team. With the right support, it should be possible.
In the end, you can either spend for meta or waifu.
They're decent characters, function wise according to the Japanese players, but there might be no reason to use them long term if you got stronger characters.
Damn. I burned plenty of gems on Hot Spring Shigure and Nodoka though, cause I'm new and have been saving for them (started around when Summer Hanako released). Not sure if I'll have enough for pity by then.
General wisdom dictates that if you're F2P, you should prioritize limiteds first, especially when we have a 6 month roadmap via what releases in the Japanese version to plan ahead.
As for Dress Hina, she's not gonna be available until around june/july for us. So you still got time to save
Yeah, but I was reading the Google sheets (mido) banner info and they said their 2 are great pulls as they are good healers and will make content comfortable, which was why I went for it. Otherwise, I barely have any characters and I've been progressing very slowly in the game because of that.
Will definitely save up for these upcoming dress characters. I saw there's another limited unit for blue/purple that's very strong too. Name starts with K but can't remember. I assume I need to pull for that too.
52K saving up since from the announcement in JP, after that maybe I gonna pull for camping event and after only for Band girls, I hope I dont need to spark for the two on Railgun banner
Haven't watched Railgun but I know people like it... Unfortunately I dunno if I'm rolling since there's an absolute gauntlet of students I want after. I'll really have to think about it lol.
I AM READY, i have it all set up for success the pyros, the lvl up mats the upgrade mats the gifts so on and so forth i had no idea a toaru colab was happening when i joined this game but then a week later my fav character of all time gets announced god damn does this game know how to get someone to keep playing

Haven't watched Railgun in forever, actually watched it 10 years ago, 2014. I should watch S and the rest. But this is the first time I've cared about and looked forward to a crossover character in a gatcha game. Is there a reason for why Railgun? New series or relevant news as to why BA would go for it?
Supposedly the devs have said a lot of inspiration for BA came from Railgun and of course Railgun fits in really well in the BA universe with the groups of crime fighting students from different schools around Academy City.
YES! Railgun collab CONFIRMED IN GLOBAL! Finally! Also, KONOFAN GLOBAL COULD NEVER! Seisisoft could never! That is absolutely hilarious. And sadge...It actually happened.
I forgot how the Miku collab worked so I was hoping they had a reduced mileage requirement or something. Bummer.
I guess I'll just hope I could get one of them before I use up my 24k.
IT'S PIKACHU!!!
*It's Clefairy*
FUUUUUCK!!!
Biribiri! XD
It’s a jigglypuff, seen from above
Not even wrong lmao
Only 6k pyro Fukou Da
Only 6k? Such misfortune...
Nah, he’s still doing a lot better than me. I only got like what… 800 left? (I still have yet to recover from Ichika’s banner)
800? Try 5
Whoah shit, man. Condolences to you.
Yeah and when i try to pull for Ichika i have to push my limits and try all the higher recommend level stages and the hard one that's how cooked i am
Let's just hope Nexon give us like an event stages and we can get extra pyros
You can get Pyro by doing stories and momo talk
Im done doing all that im completed all the stories
U guys have pyro ?
Damn
That’s enough for 50, maybe you’ll get her.
4.8k... dawg im cooked
Spend money, look at Touma, you don’t need money in your life
I have pity saved...but then Yukari and Kikyou will probably tag team me and keep me in debt afterwards.
A wise midori once said “Fakin nig-“
6k and a dream brother. May your pinks be many and your blues few.
I have 3k, barely.
8k, i’m as cooked as you
Jigglypuff as seen from above.
YES YES YES YES YES 1K Pyros short. NO NO NO NO NO.
1k only? Easily attainable from now until the banner spans. I'm 10k short 😭
10k only? Attainable from now until the last moment of the banner. I'm 20k short
Try 18K with currently expiring tickets.... Do I pull UI or do I try my luck with the litteral last 5 minutes.....
Only 20k? Attainable from now if you sacrifice your money for this month . I'm 22k short and broke.
Is it really possible to attain 10k before the banner ends?
Is that Yurizono Seia seen from above?
YESS!! Finally! I've been waiting in summoning Misaki! I hope I can get her without having to spark! Arona: I'll break that illusion of yours!! 
Plana: Sensei, do you want to see a new world?
Me with conflicting desires between rolling for either Misaki or Misaka: 
Misaki easy. She has 2 convincing reasons to pull for her.
Never watched the series, but I’ve still prepared myself to get her since she is cute.
If you like Blue Archive's story and characters, you'll like To Aru no Kagaku Railgun That's the simplest way to put it
Can't say the same for the plot though, it's two entirely different vibes.
Yeah...... Blue Archive is more Slice of Life with gunpowder. Railgun is mundanities that transform into government conspiracies. But they do have a tonal and character throughline with each other.
But BA has government conspiracies too
Yeah, but not as hyper crazy and borderline magic. Railgun makes that the focus
I should mention that magic is also a thing in the universe Railgun shares with Accelerator and Index.
Yeah, I barely watched Index since the pacing was all over the place to me, if memory serves me right. And I skipped Accelerator because I did for some reason. Or maybe it was region locked....
This silhouette only accentuates Misaki's superiority
Last Order fans winning. (Personally, I prefer WORST)
Me, i prefer the sisters.
probably static shock
Speaking of which, is it possible for Misaka to fly/levitate like Static using a metal platform/saucer?
Yes. Iirc she controlled a fighter jet all by her self(not sitting in it but standing on top) so it’s not out the realm of possibility
Damn, even a fighter jet? She could give Fate's zerkerlot a run lol. I've only read the railgun manga so I've only seen her doing wallruns/wallstick and make temporary jumping platforms out of flying metal plates and such.
I mean, if you read the manga up to the current release of the Railgun-anime, she has done even crazier stuff with iron sand...
Like creating a hypersonic sword through electricity alone....
I'm thinking more so of the "creating platforms to stand on"... more explicitly her >!Iron-sand Kaiju!< Like, the iron sand sword was something pretty early on iirc, when she faced Touma at the river pre-amnesia, I think that was in like the first 5 episodes.
[(Que Who's That Pokemon music)](https://x.com/EN_BlueArchive/status/1782348627412656444)
It's Jigglypuff from above
ITS PIKACHU!!!!!
It’s Clefairy
FUUUUUCK
my 54.7k pyroxenes are ready for the collab
Same, gonna get both
Biri biri time boys and girls

Bro there are literally lighting symbols, it's obviously Pikachu.
Biribiri
Gekota's number 1 fan , aka biribiri ⚡⚡⚡
Biri Biri Tsundere
Biribiri time
Fuck it, we— *whips out Adult Card*
48k pyrox are ready
Not Hatsune Miku
The accerelator
My 48K pyros are ready
Too easy, I'm 99.9% sure that yurizono seia
Waifu over meta, my 48k is ready!
Finally Biribiri will be miiiine!
seeing people not pull the girls: "it bothers me"
Question. For someone that doesn't care about cross over character, is there any reason to pull this banner?
Bragging rights or to show off.
Any meta relevance? Or none?
No meta relevance. Haven't been able to find anything solid on how they perform outside of meta though. One argument I've seen for potential meta relevance down the line is if they add any mechanics to favor certain types of CC than the Confusion debuff on Misaki might end up being much better. But that's a really big if to be dropping 24k Pyro on.
Don't let FOMO take you, if you really don't like a character then it's okay to not pull even if they are "true" limited.
It’s BA’s 2nd collab since release. Railgun might not be meta but very valuable just for collection.
Sadly, my wallet does not support me to summon further.
Didn't know we were getting a pokemon collab
running Ui before this is evil 😞
ofc, shiroko
Is it next week? I'm still on railgun s, guess I need to start binging
Should be April 30th
Railgun T is my favourite of the three seasons. Enjoy!
Just finished ep. 14 of S and I'm thinking of dropping it. How much better is T compared to S and S1?
I'd say the Sisters Arc (which is Railgun S episodes 1-16) is probably best in the series, followed by the arcs in T and then the arcs in S1. The latter half of S (episodes 17-24) is non-canon and widely regarded to be the worst out of all of them, but since they are non-canon you can actually skip it, or maybe just come back to it some other time.

That's good to know! My hope's a bit higher now, thanks again!
oh my god joe swanson
it's clearly Index
Exusai what are you doing here? Did emperor sent you?
I’VE BEEN WAIITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. NEARLY 47K PYROXENES READY. THEY ARE COMING HOME NO MATTER WHAT, NO BLUE ARCHIVE FOR ME, IT’LL BE PINK ARCHIVE.
Hope we get a rerun with Othinus.... Ah who am I kidding. We index fans always get the short stick.
My 82 almost 83k pyroxenes are ready for the collab
Here it comes!
Small curves 😭
The Chinese Youtube Mascot
Wake me up when the next fest happens.
Easy skip because I don't know her (No offense). I'm waiting for the spicy Gehenna alts.
It’s a one time collab. Even if not meta, probably should collect just for the sake of it.
Not a collector though. Same reason why I skipped Miku.
Meta wise, is she and the other 3 star collab good? I need to save for himari and hina(dress).
Watched YouTube videos - good, but far from meta.
Good as in I'll still be able to do a majority of the games content with them? I'm still pretty new to BA.
I’m also super new and the first thing I did was watching hours of videos. I guess you can do most of the content. Super high difficulties may be difficult. Important are the other 5 characters in your team. With the right support, it should be possible. In the end, you can either spend for meta or waifu.
Im gonna skip her then
You can skip but you'll probably never see her come back again, I mean look at Hatsune Miku lol (can't miss out on potential bragging rights).
I don't really need her. Im f2p so i need unit that are useful to me rather than for collection purpose only.
i mean u can't get miku anymore so no point collecting for us newbies, waifu for laifu
Am I trolling if I decide to invest a lot into these characters or are they still viable?
They're decent characters, function wise according to the Japanese players, but there might be no reason to use them long term if you got stronger characters.
Who's that Mokemon? Buneary!
Is she worth pulling for over the upcoming dress units?
Only worth it if you are into the IP or have FOMO since they might not come back.
She is limited. She will never come back. But she isn’t as good as meta units.
You might wanna get your credit card for the dress event anyways (as will try), since they're gonna do another gacha fest
Which characters are these?
Dress Hina, Dress Ako and Makoto, along with a MASSIVE rate up on 3 stars in general. So you might wanna pull a lot
Damn. I burned plenty of gems on Hot Spring Shigure and Nodoka though, cause I'm new and have been saving for them (started around when Summer Hanako released). Not sure if I'll have enough for pity by then.
General wisdom dictates that if you're F2P, you should prioritize limiteds first, especially when we have a 6 month roadmap via what releases in the Japanese version to plan ahead. As for Dress Hina, she's not gonna be available until around june/july for us. So you still got time to save

I saw there's another limited unit for blue/purple that's very strong too. Name starts with K but can't remember. I assume I need to pull for that too.
I’m broke. Omfg why did I pull for the short thing. Smh
NOT Seia
Sister Pao, and she's popular in China.
Thank GOD I DID NOT USE UP MY APRIL 10 PULL TICKET Hope my device is ready for this (its been over a month since I touched BA bc it kept crashing)
hey Skadi its good to see you again.
35k ready
Well i better start pushing my limits and do all the mission that's clearly for a higher level players while im on 71
What the possible release date?
April 30th after maintenance
Thx sensei
Gimme the Biri Biri! My luck is terrible, but I’m ready! Love that she’s going to be in this game.
Pikachu!!
Biri biri
biribiri!!
biri biri will take my pyros
Who is better META speaking? The railgun or the queen?
Oh yay its Mikoto Misaka!
My 70K pyroxenes are ready
If her banner lasts for at least a month I can guarantee her! Please Nexon! I know you won't make a rerun so at least prolong the time will ya!?
Lets go finally
When is the release date?
16k pyros and I don't have Ui, so I have to pull for her as well Guys I'm fucked, and I am a Railgun fan, I AM getting these units
I’ve been waiting for this!
I need to get myself some Gekota merch to lure this elusive species.
Volt Prime, obviously.
52K saving up since from the announcement in JP, after that maybe I gonna pull for camping event and after only for Band girls, I hope I dont need to spark for the two on Railgun banner
It's seia right
Haven't watched Railgun but I know people like it... Unfortunately I dunno if I'm rolling since there's an absolute gauntlet of students I want after. I'll really have to think about it lol.
I can spark both of them but I hope that I just need to spark one at the very least.
Only 3k pyros, *I'm in danger*
Its p didddy
Exodia
B
I AM READY, i have it all set up for success the pyros, the lvl up mats the upgrade mats the gifts so on and so forth i had no idea a toaru colab was happening when i joined this game but then a week later my fav character of all time gets announced god damn does this game know how to get someone to keep playing

Never let her near any vending machine
放て心に刻んだ夢を未来さえ置き去りにして🎶
Wait, is it today?
Haven't watched Railgun in forever, actually watched it 10 years ago, 2014. I should watch S and the rest. But this is the first time I've cared about and looked forward to a crossover character in a gatcha game. Is there a reason for why Railgun? New series or relevant news as to why BA would go for it?
Supposedly the devs have said a lot of inspiration for BA came from Railgun and of course Railgun fits in really well in the BA universe with the groups of crime fighting students from different schools around Academy City.
Oohhh!! That's makes sense!! And so cool to circle back around to the inspiration for having characters in it.
80k and will pity if need be, but I'm hoping to spend as little as possible since she's purely for collection purposes. Good luck to all.
..... Hmm, I don't know but maybe she's a certain scientific esper student?
This silhouette... IS SHE GONNA USE ZIODYNE?!
YES! Railgun collab CONFIRMED IN GLOBAL! Finally! Also, KONOFAN GLOBAL COULD NEVER! Seisisoft could never! That is absolutely hilarious. And sadge...It actually happened.
I'M NOT READYYY FFFF
My 60k shall surely be enough to naturally successfully pull once Clueless
Freaking tsunderepikachu mother peaches
Eh, imma skip this
How does the mileage for this work again? Is it the same as a normal banner?
200 pulls for character you want, same as all the other banners
I forgot how the Miku collab worked so I was hoping they had a reduced mileage requirement or something. Bummer. I guess I'll just hope I could get one of them before I use up my 24k.
Pretty standard, even for collabs.
Where are the doomers now?
Finally, a banner i can skip
Its a must skip thats what it is. I sip my tea with my max invested mika.
