re: 'If you have any tickets saved, you could also try using them now on the chance that you pull a point booster card'

=> I used all 7 saved Premium Tickets on Premium Hyper -- all Rares; all, I suspect, duplicates. Otoh, last time (a month ago, from my notes) I pulled Cetus (SR) from a Premium Hyper Summon, so it can't be all bad. Idk, maybe I shouldn't have summoned them so near in time to one another, this time. I have about 8 Lu Bu's, (some amalged), and 1 Lu Bu the Swift, so far .. I would make a half-amalg/half-pure, if I could, then use the SR element-neutral-buffer (Sky Navigator) you mentioned previously via telepathy, to help Lu Bu G/HUR hit for more, then attempt FAWs more seriously.

But I have only around ~3600 Tokens of Trust. I need 5000, ideally 6000, to create a good copy of Lu Bu the Swift. (If I had 2 URs already, I'd have amalgamated them in an attempt to take FAWs).

I'm not certain if I need to visit 3-1+, in the Tyrant Campaign, more, for better Token-drops. My count seems to be quite low, compared to most everyone else, and I've been carefully guarding and spending every single BP point, particularly since I ceased to increase in rating. I'm probably going to EH all day, today, during Frost. (Should I skip the later AUBs today? .. They take time.  Let me know if you think I should).

I tested out the other Elemental days with my new parties, from new cards gained. The Light deck is quite excellent on its own day, if I recall -- but only a single party, thus far, and it can't necessarily handle Intermediate AWs yet. Dark may have been acceptable. I didn't bother with Fire yet. I have too few cards there. Anyway, I think testing wastes points, (and more significantly, keys). It is better to just visit on one's strongest days, as you suggested. (And since resurrecting in EH costs 2, 3, or ~4 points, presumably it's necessary to down each AW in a single BP, to avoid wasting them).

As you noted, the best points seem to come from LAWs, (provided too many BP aren't spent). I checked and compared points gained, personally, for EH, WG, Campaign AW/FAW/LAW).

I understand the Overkill Game-Mechanic, and that more points accrue from it; how to wait; etc, mainly from videos of VC online. But my party is a tad too weak, for the moment, to keep Activations in check, and only invoke them at the end of the battle.

On a positive note, I downed my first FAW, unaided, outside WG, in a single BP, through sheer (exceptionally good) luck. I've been playing whenever I can, so as not to let any pesky BP escape. :)

This event has been good in terms of FAWs. I have a number of allies who can reliably down them .. though I suppose I have a lot of inactives, etc.

re: 'Only use 1 bp per fight'

=> Sometimes, (more rarely now than before), I fail to kill AWs in a single BP. Should I send these to others, or will this just irritate my FAWKs?

I tried to awaken HUR Genie. Fail both times, at 35% (with +arcana) each, and now I'm out of Large Dark Stones, (9/10). I wanted to farm EH, but realised I would spend too many keys there, when I need them for Frost days. And my sense is that Genie's especially useless when her skill is only at 5%, (HUR; much too rare to activate in timely fashion). I still like the card, but will have to wait to use it, it seems.

re: Buffers

=> I have decent buffers for Frost and Light, but not much for any other element yet, (apart from Sky Navigator; and Princess, if you can count +DEF 100 5%). I found a single Seducir (Debuff -ATK) from the last Event, but I might need to level her a bit to ensure enough activations. I had been saving slimes for Chen Gong, so levelled some cards manually, which probably wasted BP in EH.

On non-EH days, I assume it might be acceptable to farm BA? I tried that a bit, (though it could waste Vit). Some BAs dropped 3 keys; some 0; some I didn't finish. I should probably have spent fewer keys on Weak EH days. I would still only have about 15, but that is still more than 10. :)

re: Salvos

=> The best I can do for Overkill atm is mass-buffers and/or Critters. I can sometimes reach ~1.6 million total damage on an AW, or even hit for the damage-cap .. but that is nothing compared to Salvo. :)  An ally noted Hiraga and such cards, in regard to Salvo.  It seems I should have been a bit more active in previous events.  I now regret having completed the 1st Celestial Campaign before I was really prepared to do so without missing out.

Anyhow, it's good to chat again, and ty for the advice. See you in-game.
