Nexon has announced the arrival of the latest story expansion for its hit RPG Blue Archive. Kyrie of the Forgotten Gods will have you experience the fallout from the Eden Treaty and introduces two new students to recruit.

The main story has expanded, exploring the aftermath of the Eden Treaty from the earlier entries. Players will be tasked with ensuring that peace is maintained, but things take a sharp turn when Seia suddenly loses consciousness. You will need to find out why, save Seia and fight to prevent catastrophe.

Luckily, you will be able to recruit backup from the Arius Satellite School and Arius Squad, as two new students are available to recruit. Misaki is an Explosive Striker wielding an impressive-looking launcher and has a catalogue of skills to increase her attack, including the ability to flatly increase her ATK every 50 seconds for 40. You will need to track all her ATK increases to optimally use her EX Skill, which deals damage proportional to ATK of enemies within 7 circular areas every 4 seconds for 48, a devastating crowd attack when used correctly.

Hitori is also an Explosive attack type, but in a support role and melds perfectly with Misaki. Her Sub Skill increases allies' ATK, and her Basic Skill deals damage to a single enemy whilst also lowering Defence, however, her main utility lies in her EX Skill. She fires bullets in a straight line to deal damage, and when it strikes an enemy their Defence lowers based on the number of Arius Squad students in your team, opening them up for massive damage.

The Arius District Exploration Guide Task has also landed, giving you the opportunity to find Old Arius Badges by completing Main Stories, Missions and Lessons. When you earn 100 you will net 1200 Pyroxene. Until January 3rd there will also be five Double Reward Campaigns for content such as Lessons and Scrimmages, so more reason to retread old ground. Finally, Commissions with currency dungeon content now have K difficulty for a bigger challenge, with the max account level being raised to 80.

Blue Archive is available to download from the App Store and Google Play now.
