Nexon rolled out the first half of the new main story Vol. 5, Hyakkiyako Alliance Academy Chapter 2, 'To You, Who Would Bloom Alone' for Blue Archive on the 21st.

The spotlight falls on the students of the Hyakkiyako Conflict Resolution Committee as they attempt to settle disputes within the academy. Following the events of Chapter 1, the narrative tracks the members' growth as they search for their missing president, 'Ayame'. The second half of this saga arrives on the 28th, promising a deeper dive into the tangled webs woven between the various clubs of Hyakkiyako.

Joining the roster are Nagusa and Niya, both hailing from Hyakkiyako. Nagusa, a Vibration-type dealer, wields the 'Byakuren'—a unique weapon reserved only for the successor of the Conflict Resolution Committee—and possesses an EX skill that scales damage based on the target's HP. Meanwhile, Niya of the Yin-Yang Club also serves as a Vibration-type dealer, unleashing an EX skill that ramps up in damage depending on the number of foes caught in her circular blast zone.

From now until November 4, you can participate in the 'Schale Settlement with the General Student Council' event. By grinding through missions and special requests, you can collect 'Financial Calculators' to trade for items like Tech Notes and Activity Reports. Furthermore, the 'Waraku Festival Special Promotion Campaign!' runs until November 18; complete the guide missions, and you'll bag yourself some Chise-nyan plushies. Gather 100 of these, and a '10-Recruitment Ticket' is yours for the taking.
