# Quick Guide
Unlimited lottery box event
1. Do free quests to unlock lotto bonus CEs from shop (Britomart CE)
2. Equip lotto CEs to maximize lotto drops
3. Farm as much as you want/need/can
# FAQs
* You can start farming on day 1. The drop differences between rotations are not enough to delay farming. Farm the 90+ node until you buy the 4 shop CEs, then farm the 90/90+/90++ node of your choice.
* If you don't have that many apples, you can wait until more of your friends get MLB lotto CE to maximize apple efficiency.
* If you are a newer player, it is perfectly acceptible to use the damage CE to help you clear content. Even if you cannot 3T, the more you farm as a newer player the easier your account progression will be.
* Tl;dr for newer player: do all the free quests once (can skip 90++), then do 90+ over and over and over again.
* You do not have to farm 90++. It is not mandatory. Forcing 90++ is only if you want to squeeze maximum drops out of your AP. There are multiple reasons to not farm 90++:
* Barrier of entry: farming 90++ efficiently has a much higher barrier of entry compared to 90 or 90+.
* 90++ oftentimes requires plugsuit. It is much easier to run 90+ nodes without using plugsuit, which can increase ease of execution and decrease runtime.
* The drops from the node itself may be more favorable on 90+.
* Refer to [this image](https://i.imgur.com/iSYIqj8.png) for lotto currency droprates.
* Because 90+ has explicitly better lotto currency droprates than 90, you really shouldn't do 90 nodes anymore outside of the first clear.
* When you get the grand prize in boxes 1-10, you unlock the ability to go onto the next box early. Don't do this. You are forced to full clear every box after 11 anyway and you can miss out on some limited prizes. For example, the gold and silver apples are only in boxes 1-10. If you reset early, you can potentially miss them.
* 100 spins is unlocked at box 11.
* Don't MLB the lotto CE early. 5 non-MLB CEs = +5 drop bonus. 1 MLB CE = +2 drop bonus. Only MLB when you won't lose bonus. Consult [this image](https://i.imgur.com/hnIRImG.png) for MLB timing.
* Do not consider doing the exhibition quests until you get MLB damage (powermod) CE. The 5 copies you need for MLB are the grand prizes of the first 5 lotto boxes.

Overview: Each of these are 5 NPC servants and 1 of your own servants. There are 6 of them and they have special gimmicks. You can rearrange the party to better set up for the quest. These are all doable with just the NPC servants if you do it correctly but there's no harm in bringing your own relevant servant.
* Day 1: Just hit them. Use AOE NPs. You cannot use support NPs. Place Illya in the front and use her S3

to give herself a special buff and card with her.
* Day 2: Hit the correct golem. If you hit the wrong golem then a booby trap will happen and you have to fight a high NP enemy. Place Miyu and Illya in the frontline.
* Wave 1: Any golem.
* Wave 2: Left and right golems.
* Wave 3: 2 leftmost golems.
* Wave 4: Top left golem.
* Day 3: Only hit Jaguar Man. Look at her aura to see which card color chain to use (always goes quick -> arts -> buster -> brave). Mighty chains have a low chance of working on any turn. If you correctly chain her 5 times, you win. Alternatively just kill her (proc a correct chain to remove her special defense). Space Ishtar, Artoria, Ruler Artoria, and Mages MC can all help.
* Day 4: You're playing hot potato with bombs. Regular bombs you can read when it'll explode, red bombs are random. You give a bomb by attacking an enemy and a unit cannot hold 2 bombs. Bombs explode at the end of an enemy turn: use guts and stuns as defensive mitigation. Evade and invuln do not prevent the instadeath. Bring plugsuit and Douman if you have him and also frontline the NPC Fuuma (multiple guts)).
* Day 5: Different MC skills hit different enemies on the field: use the proper ones to maximize which ones you hit. Enemy spawn is random. Use NPC Danzo (special buff) and bring AOE servants such as Douman, Arc, Tezca, Taisui.
* Day 6: You get buffs by killing enemies. The attacker will get that buff. Once you kill 1 enemy in a wave the other 2 retreat. Waves 4 and 7 have resistance cancellation for Chiron at the end so make sure you kill the relevant one for your DPS (your DPS does not have to kill this one specifically). Euryale + arts on wave 4 or Summer Yu + quick on wave 4 are easy ways of handling Chiron

* Have patience and wait some time before asking again. Do not post a new thread on the sub for the question. Repeat offenders will be warned or punished.
* Keep jokes in moderation - Try not to clog up the thread for people who are trying to learn.
If you break these rules, then you will be in a hella hella bad time.
