Yea I haven't been using lancelot a lot this event since CE is more important and archers make 5 even more trivial, and when I do the 30/40 I'm looking for CE+Liz usually.

After moonfest though kaleido lancelot is all I really look for ever.

Personally for the 5 AP I find using a NP to be kind of pointless, better to just use a Berserker or Archer and mow them down with Buster Cards. Since ideally you're not going to be picking servants with Kaleidoscopes (instead, opting for supports with the event CE) getting Lancelot up to NP 100% is going to take too long to make it worth it.

All of this will go out the window of course once you reach 3,600 dangos and can concentrate on the 30AP, of course.

So I ran into this weird issue where my account couldn't get past the title screen and it just connected forever. Since I had my bind code, I figured I could try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if I could still play on a different account to see if it was a weird hardware issue first. I was able to start a new game but whenever I try to use my bind code it does the same constant connecting or says the servers are busy, which I know they aren't.

I was wondering if anyone has experience or a solution to this besides hoping support comes through before the event ends? I really don't want to start over thanks to how lucky I was on my rolls. I just play on my ipad so it isn't a weird emulator thing or my ipad's ability to play it.

I had something similar happen once, and the way I got around it was booting up the game, waiting for it to get stuck connecting, then turn off Wi-Fi. You'll get an error message, then you turn Wi-Fi back on and click Retry. That fixed it for me at least.

You'll want to do the high AP missions at least once for the rewards, and an extra 25 or so dangos is nothing to sneeze at.

If you're running the 5AP, prioritize all other non-Bath CEs unless you have a spare slot. For a support, grab someone with Moonlight Fest. Basically you're getting the bulk of dangos from the CEs and not the base.

For running anything else, it's the exact opposite. Use as many Bath CEs as possible unless you feel you need a Kaleidoscope or something to beat the harder ones.

Since I imagine people are going to be running the 5AP way more than any of the harder ones, I'd put a Moonlight Fest on your Support Archer or Berserker to entice support.

E: Assuming people collectively jump from 5AP to 30AP in the final few days of the event, it might be a good idea then to change your support Archer's CE to a Bath CE.

Bath is better than Mooncell Automaton on all difficulties, but all the others are better still.

If you have a good Lancer or Rider in your supports you might as well put Bath on those for people who are farming the 30 and 40APs for hearts or CEs.

Yeah now that I think about it Bath would beat Mooncell even on 5AP, since worst case scenario they are equal (+1) and best case scenario Bath could also provide +2.

I don't think most people will have time for that; unless you get lucky with rolls or CE drops you cap at +7 dangos, which is only barely enough to buy the statues and fous before the event ends.

Personally I'm not even considering the fous as a target, as soon as I hit 3,600 I'm jumping ship to the 30AP because the Hearts economy in this dumb game is hosed. Any fous I can buy after the fact will be a bonus.

My strategy for 5 AP grinding is double Waver to guarantee an AOE NP from Altera or Emiya on the last wave. So I put Fest on Waver in my Support page since that's what I want the most from other supports. People without Waver will mostly be running an extra Archer on the 5 AP quest so my second Fest i got off a random drop is on Emiya. Last is Bath on Vlad to help anyone farming the 30 AP quest.

So far, Vlad and Waver go back and forth as my most used support, so I think my setup is pretty good. I think the whales who have multiple Baths are probably farming the 30 AP quest for Hearts more than the 5 AP one.

Not sure what's the best but for comparative purposes I get +11 x 3 so that's 36 balls per run 5ap run unless I can't count.

Running 1 Goddess bath, 1 Moonlight fest, 1 moony jewel, 2 Automatons and friend Moonlight


VV seems to fluctuate a lot for me. But yeah. I think you're closer to the right average amount.

Most runs include 1 rare stack but oftentimes I get 2 normals. Rarely 3 normals.
That would represent in real terms a (12 normals + 12 from rares) baseline with an average of 24 + 6 from rares.

It seems like the average drop is for two of the stacks to be "rare" so it is likely closer to 24 in terms of the ones that matter.

I think if you have 4 Moon Baths the 30 and 40 AP missions suddenly become the optimal Dango missions, rescuing you from an eternity in Dango Hell.

So what's with the 3600 target everyone mentions? Is it for the limit break on the event CE? Cause it seems like at least 50 runs to pay it off.

Also what is the best grinding one? 30 AP to go for those sweet hearts or 5 AP just to rake in the dumplings?

5 AP until you get all of the monuments, and 30 AP after that for hearts.
