Blue Archive Opens Google Play Points Event: What Players Need To Know

The final weeks of the year can get expensive for dedicated gacha fans, but Blue Archive is sweetening the deal for those playing on Android.

Here’s why this points boost matters to both F2P optimizers and mid-spend collectors, and how you can make the most of this short window.

Making the Most of Your Points: Advice for All Spend Levels

Should You Activate Now?

Pull if:
- You plan to purchase premium currency, monthly packs, or your regular refreshes within the next week
- You want to maximize the value of all current purchases and use points for in-game shop exclusives
Wait if:
- You have major planned purchases after 2024-12-18, as the boost window is fixed for 7 days from activation
- You spend primarily using non-Google payment platforms (iOS or third-party)

F2P players may not benefit directly unless they redeem Play Points earned from previous purchases. Low-spend and veteran players should time activation around top-up cycles or banner-phase deadlines.

Effect on Pity, Banners, and Crystal Value

While the event does not directly alter pity rates or banner probabilities, the indirect benefit—more Play Points translating to future discounts or currency—is a meaningful edge, especially when prepping for new student banners or anticipated reruns. Consider stacking purchases if a rate-up coincides with your boost window.

Full Details: Activation and Limitations

How To Activate Your Google Play Points Boost

Open the Play Store app or visit the [Google Play Games site].
Tap your profile icon (top right); select Play Points or your points level.
Go to the Earn tab. Locate Blue Archive. Press the Start button to begin your 7-day boost window.

Note: Purchasing before pressing "Start" will not grant the bonus. Always confirm activation before spending.
