Blue Archive: How to Get Gifts
Written by Rahul Gupta
You can get gifts in Blue Archive by crafting flower nodes, playing through events, and unlocking certain achievements. Crafting is the best way, but events often give you the biggest stacks fast.
Crafting Gifts
Unlock the system
You unlock crafting after clearing stage 3-2 in the main story.
Use flower nodes
Only flower nodes give gifts. Peony, Rose, Morning Glory... those types.
Always pick them manually. Auto-crafting will waste your Keystones.
Use Material Fusion too
You can fuse lower-tier gifts into Gift Choice Boxes.
This lets you pick the exact gift type you need for a student.
Event Rewards
Events usually have a shop with lots of gifts.
Check for event currency and trade it in before the event ends.
Sometimes you’ll also get gifts from event missions and milestones.
Achievements
Some achievements and mission goals drop gifts.
These are one-time rewards, not something you can grind.
Giving Gifts
You can give gifts in the Cafe.
Tap a student, drag a gift toward them, and check the emote above their head.
The better the match, the more affection you get.
Student Preferences
Each student has their own likes and dislikes.
If the emote says “Beloved” or “Favorite,” that gift gives way more affection.
If it says “Normal,” save it for someone else.
Other Ways to Raise Affection
Tap students in the Cafe every 3 hours
Use the Schedule system to send them on activities
Logging in and interacting adds small boosts over time
Final Blurb
Getting gifts in Blue Archive isn’t hard, but wasting them is. Focus on crafting flower nodes and hitting event shops when you can.
Always match gifts to the right students, or you’ll be throwing away affection for nothing.
