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.
What Purchases Qualify?
- All in-game transactions made through Google Play Store during the boost period
- Exclusive bundles listed for Play Points eligibility (see [10/28 (Tue) Google Play Points Product Notice])
- Points may be revoked if purchases are canceled or refunded
Limitations and Caveats
- Play Points rewards are region/account dependent and not all players will see the event
- Only payments made via Google Play Store (not Apple ID or third-party stores) earn boosted Play Points
- Event schedule and eligibility may change without notice; see [Blue Archive Official Forum] for updates
Who Benefits Most? Target Audiences for the Event
- Mid-spend and monthly pass holders: Stack Play Points for future use, gain higher rebate
- Collectors and dolphin spenders: Time large purchases (limited banners, resource packs) within your boost window
- F2P and light spenders: Gather points for exclusive Play Points items, even with minimal spend—potential edge during special rerun phases
- Banner planners: Coincide your boost with expected student rerun or new release dates for double value
Preparation Checklist: What To Do Before and During the Boost
- Review pending premium purchases, especially for banners or events expiring during your 7-day boost
- Check Play Points balance and shop for special offers or item exchanges
- Configure receipts and payment info in the Play Store to avoid activation issues
