*Pick-up Recruitment Event - Blue Archive's new pick-up recruitment is starting up with two new students:
*Konoka (★3): Konoka is a new Mystic-type Tank who excels at disrupting enemies on the frontline. Her EX Skill unleashes a devastating blow to all enemies in a fan-shaped area. Furthermore, she recovers a portion of her health whenever she takes damage during her skill activation, ensuring high survivability and stable combat performance.
