Blue Archive free pulls: how many Pyroxene you earn per month without paying
Every pull in Blue Archive costs 120 Pyroxene. A free-to-play account that clears its routine content collects roughly 4,020–6,620 Pyroxene a month, which converts into 33–55 pulls on the Pickup banner. Below is where that currency actually comes from, source by source, and what it means against a hard pity of 200.
The table only counts sources that repeat every month. Story rewards, achievements and other one-off bonuses are listed separately: they are a big head start for a new account, but they do not pay the next banner.
Where the free Pyroxene come from each month
| Source | Pyroxene / month | ≈ pulls |
|---|---|---|
| Daily & weekly missions | 1,120 | 9 |
| Tactical Challenge (PvP) | 300 | 2 |
| Raids (Total/Grand Assault)depends heavily on your ranking | 1,200–2,400 | 10–20 |
| Events (1–2 per month)full-clear | 1,200–2,400 | 10–20 |
| Login & misc | 200–400 | 1–3 |
| Monthly total (recurring only) | 4,020–6,620 | 33–55 |
How far 33–55 pulls a month get you on the Pickup banner
Hard pity on this banner sits at 200 pulls, with soft pity kicking in around 150. Saving everything, a free player reaches hard pity in about 4–6 months, and the worst case for the featured unit (200 pulls) in about 4–6 months. With one month of pulls and no pity carried over, the chance of the featured unit is 57%–75%; with two months saved it climbs to 81%–94%.

One-time boosts for new accounts
These pay out once per account. They are not part of the monthly figure, but a fresh Blue Archive account can pull far more in its first weeks than the recurring total suggests.

- Bond Stories & achievements
If you spend a little
The cheapest recurring purchase in Blue Archive is by far the best Pyroxene-per-dollar deal in the shop. This is how much it adds on top of the free income:
- With the Monthly Pyroxene Pack (~$5)+1,600 Pyroxene / month ≈ +13 pulls
Turn the monthly income into a plan
Type your current pity and the Pyroxene you already have into the Blue Archive pity calculator to see your exact odds on the next banner, or use the savings planner on that page: it takes what you have, what you earn per week and the banner end date and tells you whether you will make it.
The monthly figures are a community estimate for Blue Archive: they move with the event calendar, your progress and how much endgame content you clear. Treat the range as a realistic planning guide, not a guaranteed income.
