Congratulations! You've made it to the last Variation Event Quest event!
Where To Start
Before getting into the meat of this event, here’s a list of things you should do and prioritize!:
- Clear each event quest up until the final one is available (up to EX Hard difficulty.)
- NOTE: The 3 types of event Summons (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) have been consolidated into 1 type.
- Navigate to the Event tab on the Summons page and summon with all of your Event Tickets using your first clear Event Tickets. Due to summoning being random, you may not summon one of the Event Weapons right away, so replay the highest difficulty quest you can clear until you have enough Event Tickets to fully summon the limited rewards from the first stage.
- Equip the newly acquired Event Weapon(s) from those summons in a subslot on one of your active team’s characters, preferably a matching weapon type character if applicable (Optional: Level the weapon as high as you can to maintain your Force and complete limited time missions for rewards.) Continue farming the highest difficulty quest for more Bronze Event Tickets to summon additional copies of the Event Weapon(s) to Ascend the weapon(s) and increase your Ticket Bonus.
- Periodically return to the Event tab on the Summons page and summon with an appropriate amount of tickets to clear each stage of the Event Gacha. Once you raise the gacha to the next stage, you CANNOT return to a lower stage, so ensure that you have what you want/need before progressing the Event Gacha.
- Remember to ascend the event weapon(s) each time you summon one, since they will improve your Ticket Bonus and allow you to clear the Event Gacha more quickly.
Maximizing Event Progress
Ensuring any and all Event Weapons you acquire are equipped and ascended as high as possible is pivotal to event progression. Below is a table that outlines this event’s related weapons and the Ticket Bonus they can provide at each Ascension Level.
Note that you can utilize Natural Pearls to Ascend 3* Weapons to increase your Medal Bonus early; Black Pearls can be utilized as well but are only recommended to be used on 4* weapons that you plan to use past the event for other content.
