That's basically it. Get as many school of chaldeas you can fit so you get a bonus to both true and false manuscripts, and fill your team with mash, avengers and rulers because they give bonuses to both types of manuscripts. Empieta and holy maiden only alter spawn rates for enemies but unless you're gunning for one type of box specifically they're not much use.
I mean, I need approximately 100 times more false lotto mats than true lotto mats so that was the crux of the question in general.

You still end up gimping yourself because that's less room for school of chaldea's flat bonus to manuscript drops so I guess the real answer is to just keep holy maiden around for the amazing art.

Assuming you don't get a School CE to drop, isn't there a spare slot for it anyway? Four Schools of Chaldea, another School presumably from your support, and then "whatever" for the last one.

You will have extra space since Mash is basically mandatory for maximum boxes. Your bench can be a bunch of 1-2 star servants since the nodes aren't remotely hard.

You really seem to be overestimating the effect of extra classes on your bonuses. Five schools (including support) and a split party of knights/horsemen is a +13/+13 bonus. Even if you made all of those servants extra classes instead that only increases your bonus to +16/+16. Sure, it's worth putting Mash on the team if you don't care about losing the bond points but the benefit is pretty marginal.

A 23% increase sounds pretty good to me for a lottery. Assuming you were going to refill to max out the number of boxes you can clear. If you're only clearing 6 boxes for the lore, of course you're not going to care about currency efficiency.

Sure, and if you've got the four specific 5*s you need for that 23% increase then more power to you.

Also gotta remember, it doesn't force a drop even if you have a bonus for it. A mob can only drop one or the other. Having even just Mash present means you're always going to get a drop regardless of spawn.

Also because star generator CEs are the truth and super good. If you don't have 2030s you can use them to feed yourself a bunch of crits (or slap one on a damage dealer to get more crits + more damage).

Riyo should have had Tomoe playing video games, but Circe more than made it up for me. So glad I summoned the witch who makes pigs. Only one of two I summoned before I officially discovered their true names in-game (her and Chiyome).

TV Tropes posted:

It's a quirk of his character design. Jekyll's pants are way too large for him and constantly unbuttoned, because in Fragments of Blue and Silver Hyde was a giant werewolf-like creature and that was the best way to keep his dignity after transforming. Hyde in Grand Order isn't a monster anymore, but the pants remain and now do nothing except look silly.
