Sorry for the late reply. Not always up to sitting down and typing out a long thing right away. And now wiki is giving me some trouble as I try to post this reply...

I think it depends somewhat on how much you’ll use them. It doesn’t make sense to put two snowballers on the same team so you’d only be using one regularly on your main team and then maybe the second for an EH team. I suppose it depends on whether you want to balance them for EH or have a somewhat stronger one for the main team. If it was something else like an unleasher that you’d want to use 2 of on the same team, I’d say 2 mixed for balance.

(I was just lazy and made my GUR from UR drops. >_>;; Since I’ve already got 3 other GUR snowballers and wanted to keep HSR Chen Gong for my collection rather than amalgamating. In general, I tend to not do perfect amalgamations that much since it takes so many slimes to upgrade everything. But I feel I still do okay with mixed or even dropped URs only. My GUR Summer Oracles were just made from drops and I had them on a team that beat the LAW in 1 bp a few times.)

I don’t believe the castle upgrade would be on sale. The previous times they had this kind of sale, it was just the jewel structures/decorations in the shop. Upgrades for the magic school also weren’t included and remained at full price when I checked that during a previous sale. But either way, I recommend getting the Yggdrasils first since they give you a lasting benefit with a higher bp limit and more bp each time you use a sword. Even if you get the castle upgrade, it takes a long time to upgrade all the shines to level 10 since the last few levels take like 800k resources each and a few days. I only just finished upgrading them all myself within the past month or two because they needed so many resources. So, that’s more a long term project.

Well, if you end up with an extra UR you don’t need, you could always trade it for medals to help upgrade your other cards. I guess there’s a chance she could return in the WG in the future if you want to keep it but that would be a long way off and you might have much better cards by then.

Yeah, points tend to rise more in the final days too thanks to EH so it’s difficult if you’re attempting to catch up. It’s best to decide if you want to try to rank early on, within the first few days so you can focus on that for the event.

Yes, FAW give considerably more points than AW, which is why some FAWKs prefer not to get normal AW. (Although with 10 million overkill, AW now gives about 30k points and FAW around 65k.)

I couldn’t even manage intermediate EH until after I ranked top 300 the first time and made 4 GUR Elemental Queens. You need a good team that preferably matches the element and includes awakened cards. You can try using non-matching elements but they die a lot more easily. Even maxed GURs can die from 4 waves in advanced EH if they’re the wrong element so difficulty goes up a lot between levels.

Yes, definitely try to get unleashers if they come up! Nullifiers are good too, especially for LAW.

No, friendship, level, amalgamated or not, EH days, etc. don’t make any difference when trying to awaken cards. It’s just RNG and I’ve had especially stubborn GURs take 12-13 times to awaken.

For HSRs, I don’t think it’s worth it to try maxing them atk and def wise since it uses a lot of medals which would be better saved for GURs you’re going to use regularly. But skill upgrades which take a lot fewer medals can be helpful.

Eh, I don’t mean quitting but I do kind of wish for some events where there’s not much I want so I can just be lazy and play casually for a couple of weeks sometimes without worrying about ranking. I think the last time I did that was in November, when everyone was going crazy for the ranking reward Lapis but she and the event didn’t appeal to me at all and I just sent most of my FAWs to comrades who did want to rank. Although I still ended up in the top 1000. >_>;;

And I’ve got to clean out my presents too. I still haven’t even gone through the SRs from last event yet!

I personally like ultimate summon tickets since I do decently at pulling point booster SRs with them and even got a UR once. Traded for about 13-14 of them at New Year’s and saved a few more the next event then used them all at the start of the Valentine’s event and pulled 2 copies of Pudding. And I pulled 2 Cao Cao from USTs this event. So, basically free point booster GSRs. I’ve also seen elsewhere the idea of trading for extra Chen Gong to medal. It depends on what would be most useful to you.

Well, I guess this is more for future reference now but… Considering it only gives a small boost and you’d likely only need 1 extra buff to hit 999,999 either way, I’d say it’s probably not worth using a lot of swords and shoes to rank top 2000. Probably better to save swords and shoes for now until you have a stronger team that can rank more easily and can take better advantage of them with higher max vitality/bp.

Hitting 600,000 points for Urania isn’t too hard in theory but there’s often times when I have to use a bp even when there isn’t fever time so it drags points down somewhat. And it’s actually easier for me to get points when we’re behind since our combos don’t go as high as the aub focused alliances. Since attacking first place team from fifth place gives 3000 during fever plus combo bonus if there is one. I’m still using a rod or two here and there though since I’d rather skip round 3s and sleep.
