What limited SSR & SR cards do you recommend getting from jp's 6th anniversary shop? There's just a bunch to choose from

:'v

Yo,

first of all, we always recommend to go for your favorites.

Besides that, this is a ranking of the most recommended SSR to choose from, gameplay-wise. There are three separate rankings for Basic, Defense and Attack Tests.

Hi! I have a question, in the event flashback tab on EN how do I know which past events have twistunes and how many do they have, so I can know if some of the events might help gain gems instead of just spending them. Thank you!

If you click on each event and scroll through the chapters, you'll see a little marker on the episodes that have twistunes. If they can be unlocked, you can click on them directly, otherwise, you'll have to unlock every other chapter before hand individually (THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR LATER).

To make your life a bit easier, here are the EN Event Flashbacks with twistunes worth unlocking for gems. As a general rule, any event that is over 10 chapters for a single twistune will result in a loss, since each twistune gives 30 gems, and each event chapter costs 3 gems. Halloween and Hometown events are only worth playing for the story, not the gems. Do not select the button that allows you to unlock all the chapters at once. If you're just going for the twistunes, you do not need to unlock the chapters after the final twistune.

Remember, you need to spend gems to make gems!

Fairy Gala: 42 gems needed to unlock 14 (out of 17) chapters. Three twistunes available. Profit of 48 gems.

Fairy Gala (Encore): 42 gems needed to unlock 14 (out of 17) chapters. Three twistunes available. Profit of 48 gems.

Wish Upon a Star: 33 gems needed to unlock 11 (out of 13 + 18 wishes) chapters. Three twistunes available. Profit of 57 gems.

Wish Upon a Star (Encore): 33 gems needed to unlock 11 (out of 13 + 18 wishes) chapters. Three twistunes available. Profit of 57 gems.

First Anniversary: 6 gems needed to unlock 2 (out of 2) chapters. One twistunes available. Profit of 24 gems.

Second Anniversary: 9 gems needed to unlock 3 (out of 3) chapters. One twistunes available. Profit of 21 gems.

Spend a total of 165 gems and gain a profit of 255 gems.

This will increase your score by a set amount for the type (level 1, 2, 3) of rule you add on. Please see the list of Buffs/Debuffs attached to each test type.

Support cards can be saved per test type.

S6 and S7 ranks have been added.

The number of Crowley medals gained now depend on the difficulty chosen, instead of a blanket number.

Rank rewards are now given when you reach that rank, instead of at the end of the exam event.

REMINDER:

Freeze and Curse have different durations on each difficulty mode:

Easy: Single foe / 2 turns

Normal: Both foes / 2 turns

Hard and Extra: Both foes / 3 turns

Freeze stops your buffs from working. It’s ok if you buff first though, so you can safely buff on odd turns. In the case of Flora Defense, make sure all your Regen heals go off before Turn 4-1 (ideally Turns 1-2) and time properly any ATK buffs you use to kill on time.

You can avoid Curse if you heal on odd turns and go first, but Continuous Heal will still get blocked even if activated before the debuff, so time it well.

REMEMBER

For Basic Tests: The list of recommended cards will work better if you keep in mind their DUO potential with SSR cards.

For Defense Tests: Always consider Healers for your team. It is always better to heal on 1st magic of Turn 3 or 5. If you use Continuous Heal, heal on Turn 1 or 2 but watch out for Curse.

For Attack Tests: Firepower!! DUOs are good, but depending on your cards, it may be more beneficial to use cards with buffs than weaker DUOs.

I’m confused by the new self-study function.. like do I just choose any card and wait? It doesn’t matter which card? And how do I unlock more study locations and which locations are optimal? Any help would be appreciated 🥲

Self-Study

If you add one of your cards to one of the three self-study slots, you can gain dropped materials, as well as EXP for that card. Select a location that has the material you'd like to farm, then select a card you'd like to gain EXP.

Each location has a different timer. Once the timer reaches the end, you will no longer get any additional mats, so pay attention to the notifications or the pink dot on the Self Study tab.

Each location has a different level of efficiency for EXP gain. The more stars, the more EXP a card at that location can gain.

Each location has different materials that can be gained. The more stars, the better the chance of rarer mat drops.

The locations are as follows:

Classroom:

EXP Efficiency: ★★☆

Material Drop: ★☆☆

Max Duration: 10:30:00

Reward: Honey S/M/L, Macaron

Max Number of Rewards: 18

Rewards per hour: 1.72

Library (Red Bookshelf Area)

EXP Efficiency: ★☆☆

Material Drop: ★★☆

Max Duration: 08:50:00

Reward: Red Notepad/Textbook/Grimoire, Madol

Max Number of Rewards: 10

Rewards per hour: 1.14

Library (Blue Bookshelf Area)

EXP Efficiency: ★☆☆

Material Drop: ★★☆

Max Duration: 08:50:00

Reward: Blue Notepad/Textbook/Grimoire, Madol

Max Number of Rewards: 10

Rewards per hour: 1.14

Library (Green Bookshelf Area)

EXP Efficiency: ★☆☆

Material Drop: ★★☆

Max Duration: 08:50:00

Reward: Green Notepad/Textbook/Grimoire, Madol

Max Number of Rewards: 10

Rewards per hour: 1.14

Library (White Bookshelf Area)

EXP Efficiency: ★☆☆

Material Drop: ★★☆

Max Duration: 08:50:00

Reward: White Notepad/Textbook/Grimoire, Madol

Max Number of Rewards: 10

Rewards per hour: 1.14

Some locations are locked until you've achieved a certain number of stars within self-study. These stars are the same as what we get during regular lessons. As you go through self-study, you'll gain the stars necessary to unlock the following locations:

Cafeteria

(Requires 100 ★ to unlock)

EXP Efficiency: ★☆☆

Material Drop: ★★☆

Max Duration: 07:15:00

Reward: Madol, Card Cookie, Waffle, Cupcake

Max Number of Rewards: 15

Rewards per hour: 2.07

Alchemy Workshop

(Requires 300 ★ to unlock)

EXP Efficiency: ★★☆

Material Drop: ★★☆

Max Duration: 06:30:00

Reward: Herb Tea S/M/L, Popcorn

Max Number of Rewards: 13

Rewards per hour: 2

Lecture Hall

(Requires 1000 ★ to unlock)

EXP Efficiency: ★★★

Material Drop: ★☆☆

Max Duration: 05:15:00

Reward: Honey S/M/L, Macaron

Max Number of Rewards: 15

Rewards per hour: 2.86

Library (Grimoire Stacks Area)

(Requires 3000 ★ to unlock)

EXP Efficiency: ★☆☆

Material Drop: ★★★

Max Duration: 04:15:00

Reward: Red/Blue/Green/White Grimoire

Max Number of Rewards: 3

Rewards per hour: 0.71

"Max Number of Rewards" is a little bit of a misnomer. Below is the screen you'll see when you've hit max:

You can click on the purple buttons to collect your materials. The bigger button at the top will collect for all three locations. Some items can be received in batches of more than 1, so sometimes you ay get "more than the max."

Whether a location is optimal is really based on your own needs. But here are a few suggestions:

The Lecture Hall is a duplicate of the Classroom but gives more card EXP (It also gives the most card EXP out of all the locations). If you're looking for card EXP or Honey, I'd choose this first. Choose the Classroom if you need a second one with Honey.

Honestly, I'd skip the Cafeteria. If you really need Madol, you can do one of the Library locations with the books to get better mats than Card Cookies, Waffles, and Cupcakes. The only reason why I'd even consider this location is for when I need to farm Card Cookies for events that give Bonus Madol for lessons.

Alchemy Workshop is the only one that gives the Friendship Herb Teas and gives the second-most card EXP. Unless I'm farming specific elemental mats, this is usually my second choice.

Any of the Library locations are good, depending on what element you need mats for. I personally have been using the Grimoire one since although there are fewer drops relative to the time, each one can be converted to 15 Notepads if need be.

Good luck on your self-study!
