If you’re able to obtain her, you might find Drum Major useful. You can also amalgamate her from Mia and Jubilee Hostess, which is probably the easier way to get her. URs in the WG tend to be difficult to get and in a lot of events I only manage to find 1 or 2 copies of the UR the whole time between WG and spamming 60-70 EH keys on intermediate/advanced. And in some cases like Santa Oracle, I never see the UR the whole event at all and just amalgamate from all the SRs I get.

(Also, Jubilee Hostess might help for the current LAW if you don’t have an atk down card yet. You can also keep an eye out for Larxsus from random SR drops; she’s a 60% atk down and can be awakened. The best team for a LAW that can buff herself is 1 buffer, 3 unleasher, 1 atk down. Dong Zhuo from last event’s ranking has been letting me 1bp this LAW a lot of the time because her skill can knock the LAW’s damage down to 1 if gets activated enough times.)

Hoping for drops or trying to be within top 3000 for Pageant Alchemist might be easier. The last time we had slots at Christmas, there was also a HSR for amalgamation that required 5 SRs from the slot machine and I just managed to get 10 copies that time. Houri is supposed to be in EH too so this one might be a little easier but would still be difficult if you can only do beginner. Or if you manage to get 5 Houri, you could try a mixed amalgamation.

As for whether to amalgamate Dainsleif, I suppose it depends on what would be more useful for you. A UR would be a bit stronger than a HSR but not having a second copy to make HUR would limit her usefulness somewhat and 2 procs is on the low side for an AOE UR; a lot of the others I have are 3 procs which is why I didn’t see a point to trying to make more than 1 HUR of her. If you kept the HSRs, they might possibly help you in EH since EH is a lot easier if you have enough decent cards to put together all matching element teams.

Well, I had 33 LAWs last event although that’s somewhat lower than usual since I slacked off the last few days. I probably had about 60 EH keys so the difference in our numbers might just be that I went through more bonus areas.

Depends on the SR. The random SR drops are the same as ones you can get from premium summons so some of them can be awakened, unlike event SRs. Although it can take months to find a second copy to evolve.

Well, sending back means sharing your FAWs with the people who send you theirs. Not sure about time frame since I’m normally not a trader and only listed myself as a killer in the past. But traders generally prefer to get full hp FAWs, meaning you only hit the servants (possibly overkilling them if you can) and then flee and ask for reinforcements. This is so they can do more damage and get higher points. Might be simpler to just request the people already listed if you’re not certain.

I used them a bit when I was new to help my team survive but no, healers aren’t really useful these days and that’s part of why I’m slacking off somewhat this event. I’ve already got 2 GUR healers from previous rankings and I’ve never really found a use for them other than maybe EH filler; it makes me a bit sad since Flower Queen was from my first top 300 ranking and I’d love to actually have a use for her. But then I ranked for her because I liked the artwork rather than for the skill.

We’ve had some better RRs lately with some cards matching the skills of premium cards but some RRs just aren’t that good skill-wise and that used to be a complaint around here. RR before Flower Queen actually didn’t even have awakenings at all although the FAWs already did so some felt they weren’t worth the trouble.

Not sure what you mean by likeability and send/receive ratio but the advantage of assisting is you can have more chances to fight the FAW than if you were only fighting your own and not having to spend as much vitality and bp looking for them on your own although the downside is you only get 1 reward from an assist. (They used to do a high vitality area where you could encounter the FAW directly but with LAW getting introduced about half a year ago, the bonus area seems to have replaced that.)

Supposedly, drop rates are a little higher for whoever gets the ace (indicated by the gold crown on the rewards page) in a battle. I’ve definitely gotten drops from assists before though. I remember 2 Summer Oracle drops from back to back assists during her original event. And I know I got a bunch of the elemental fairies during Elemental Queen’s event (where I had ~1100 assists) that way.
