Banner Types Explained

  • Limited Banners:
    Feature event-only or seasonal students (swimsuit, festival, etc.), usually strongest or rarest units; return every 6–12 months.
  • Standard Banner:
    Permanent pool, with occasional rate-ups and spark system to guarantee chosen old units (Reddit Discussion).
  • Split/Combo Banners:
    Bundled releases of 2–4 themed units, often with shared pity or boosted rates.

JP server follows same releases, but at least six months ahead.

Banner Tips & Planning

  • Anniversary & Fest Banners:
    These arrive every six months (JP and global), offering best rates (6% vs standard 3%) and strongest limited units (YouTube Roadmap). Always save for these if F2P or low spender.
  • Accelerated Global Schedule:
    Expect some banners to merge, shorten, or appear in unpredictable order compared to JP, use roadmap tools and community trackers for best predictions.
  • Reruns/Rate-Ups:
    Units debut as limited, then eventually rerun and move to the Standard Banner, track your favorites and don’t overspend early.

References & Banner Trackers

Blue Archive’s banner rotation combines limited-time collector opportunities with a robust standard/pity system for old and new students. Always plan around anniversary, fest, and swimsuit banners, the best value for powerful and meta-relevant units!
