Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments begin after the November 10, 2026 maintenance, with 110 pulls available straight away and the rest added over the following days. All 200 are available by November 15 at 19:00 UTC, and the event ends on November 17 at 01:59 UTC. These are event recruitments, not permanent tickets you can save for a later week.
You don’t have to log in every day. Missed daily allowances accumulate while the event is running. You can join late and use the previously unlocked free pulls together, provided you do it before the deadline. The important bit is choosing an eligible special Pick-Up banner and actually spending your allowances before they disappear.
Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments daily schedule
The first 110 free recruitments unlock once November 10 maintenance has finished. Nexon scheduled maintenance for 02:00 to 07:00 UTC that day, but an announced maintenance finish is not a guarantee of the actual opening minute. Subsequent daily allowances unlock at 19:00 UTC on the dates shown below.
| Available from | Added | Cumulative free pulls |
|---|---|---|
| November 10, after maintenance | 110 | 110 |
| November 10, 19:00 UTC | 10 | 120 |
| November 11, 19:00 UTC | 10 | 130 |
| November 12, 19:00 UTC | 10 | 140 |
| November 13, 19:00 UTC | 20 | 160 |
| November 14, 19:00 UTC | 20 | 180 |
| November 15, 19:00 UTC | 20 | 200 |
How to get Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments if you log in late
You do not need to log in seven days in a row to receive the full allocation. The official event notice says previously accumulated daily free recruitments can be collected together by players who join later. Nexon even gives an example of someone first logging in on November 16 after 19:00 UTC, when all 200 have become available.
Catch-up doesn’t extend the closing time. You still need to use the pulls by November 17 at 01:59 UTC. Don’t leave all 200 until the last few minutes.
Which banners accept Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments?
Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments are intended for the event’s designated special Pick-Up Recruitments, including the new Makoto (Swimsuit) and Satsuki (Swimsuit) period. They cannot be applied to every recruitment menu, and the official notice does not treat them as ordinary one-recruit tickets. Use the eligible ten-recruitment option while the event is active.
Do free pulls count toward Recruitment Charges and Mileage?
Yes. Each free recruitment contributes to the applicable special-type Charge counter and the current period’s Recruitment Mileage. Recruitment Charges are the new pity mechanic: 100 Charges guarantee a 3-star with a 50% chance for the Pick-Up student, while 200 guarantee the featured student. Pulling that featured student earlier resets the relevant counter.
Importantly, the Charges that remain can carry to a later banner of the same type. Recruitment Mileage is different, because it expires with the recruitment period. Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments can help with both systems before the event ends, but it does not change the fact that their underlying expiry and carryover rules differ.
Does 200 free recruits guarantee Makoto and Satsuki?
No. There are two separate featured students on separate Pick-Up entries. A full 200-pull guarantee concerns the currently featured target under the new Charge rules, and obtaining that target resets the applicable counter. You should not tell players that Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments guarantee both swimsuit students. An early pull can improve your options, but the outcome is not guaranteed for both characters.
Choose your preferred banner before spending the free ten-pulls. If the featured student appears early, the relevant Charge counter resets, so check the remaining free allowance before moving to the other banner.
When do Blue Archive 200 Free Recruitments expire?
The final deadline is Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 01:59 UTC, equivalent to 10:59 KST. That is the event-use cutoff, not the start of a final free-pull distribution day. The last new allowance is scheduled for November 15 at 19:00 UTC, leaving a little over a day for late players to spend the full set.
