Blue Archive received its first story update of the year. Titled "A Revolutionary Ivan Kupala," it features Cherino’s revolutionary journey on a quest to grab back her leadership after a sudden coup.
This new update sees the addition of the Red Winter Federal Academy to the game. Located on the outskirts of Kivoto, it has a large enrollment despite being a less known academy. The General Student Council doesn't have much of an influence here and this is why Red Winter is pretty much self-governing with the Secretariat having the power. The problem is that coups with the intent to overthrow the president happen weekly.
For this new update, players will meet new characters from the Red Winter Federal Academy. The first is Cherino who has Piercing Attribute and can attack enemies in a circular area. Second is Nodoka who can increase the Accuracy of allies within a circular area.
During the event, players can get extra event coins by assigning specific characters to their Combat Unit. For example, Cherino and Nodoka grant Cherino Matryoshka, while Izumi, Junko, and Fuuka award Cherenka Chocolate. Meanwhile, Haruna, Akari, and Juri give additional Mustache Crepes.
