Blue Archive is up to bat with 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 characters, and a wealth of rewards to pursue. If you've been looking for reasons to return after the Secret Midnight Party, this update delivers a blend of storytelling, strategy, and collectible bonuses.

Two new students take the spotlight in Blue Archive's latest update. Sumire (Part-Timer) joins the lineup with skills that make her a formidable damage dealer. Her EX Skill locks onto a single enemy using Weakness Detection, then unleashes damage based on her ATK—up to 240 times.

Rei specializes in circular area-of-effect attacks, providing a dependable way to handle groups of enemies. Both characters are available in the current recruitment event until September 8th, featuring boosted rates that improve your chances of adding them to your team.

The highlight of the update is the "Pray-Ball! Swing for the Grand Slam!" story event. Join Rei and Sumire as they look into a mystery involving the Corgi Heroes baseball team, mixing school-life charm with thrilling competition.
