Gemblo Company (hereinafter Gemblo Company) will release three Nivel Arena starter decks utilizing the Blue Archive IP on November 6. One booster pack will be introduced on November 20.
Gemblo Company, a developer specializing in trading card games (hereinafter TCG) and board games, introduced three new keywords in these products. The setting of the original game and the characteristics of the students are reflected in the card effects, allowing players to experience each character's abilities and personality through card combinations.
The starter decks are available in three types, one for each element: Earth, Wave, and Lightning. Players can learn the playstyle of each element using the cards and effects of their chosen deck. The upcoming booster pack BT09 'Ramgwacheoncheong' contains cards that supplement the starter decks as well as cards that utilize new mechanics, enabling players to build new combinations and strategies.
BT09 also includes six exclusive illustrations newly created for Nivel Arena. Along with depictions of characters not seen in the original game, it introduces 'Special Signature Leader (SSL)' cards featuring the signature of Blue Archive Executive Producer Kim Yong-ha and a new rarity, 'Special Signature Rare (SSR)' cards. 'Special Signature Rare' applies the signatures previously featured on Leader cards to Unit cards as well. 'Double Common (CC)' and 'Double Rare (RR)' cards, which feature special treatments on Common and Rare cards, are also added.
The original Blue Archive is an anime RPG developed by Nexon Games and published by Nexon. Players become a 'Sensei' in the academy city of 'Kivotos' and resolve incidents alongside students. These Nivel Arena products focus on bringing the setting and characters of the original game into card gameplay.
Gemblo Company CEO Oh Jun-won stated, "We put a lot of effort into expressing the unique personalities of Blue Archive's students and the setting of the original work through card effects." He added, "We hope that the newly drawn illustrations for Nivel Arena and the cards with special signatures become meaningful collectibles for all the Sensei who love Blue Archive."
