Strategies
- Main damage will be on nearest unit to boss, focus on ensuring survival of the frontline
- Bleeding damage is unable to cleanse, thus there is no need to bring cleanser units. Damage is not very significant but can still pose threat for wipe, thus Pizza with node 1 artifact is highly recommended if healer is not good enough.

- Recommended team comp: Tank + Healer + 3 Attackers

Strategies
- Does not have damaging skills, only normal attacks, thus recommended to use self healing tanks so free up a healer slot
- Not recommended to bring food souls with reduce Def ability as Blue Cheese can self cleanse
- Requires high tier DPS units with sufficient nodes in artifacts to achieve kill, even though silence is a pro to atk spd team, still recommended to bring Beer to boost the damage

- Recommended team comp:
Self healing tank + Beer + 3 Attackers
Self healing tank + 4 Attackers
Features
- Reduces received skill dmg 30% (Normal), 80% (Hard)

Strategies
- Pizza with node 1 unlocked is highly recommended to counter the bleeding which cannot be cleansed
- AOE skill damage is not high but normal attacks can be pretty significant, recommended to use tank with self healing or negate normal attacks (Oyster)
- High Def negates alot of normal attacks damage, thus bringing Beer needs to be cautious, only bring Beer if attackers have enough damage from artifacts
- If heals are not enough, recommended to swap weakest attacker for White Truffle or DPS healer like Osechi or Miso Soup
- Recommended Team Comp:
Beer + 1 node Pizza + 2 Attackers + Healer
Tank + Beer + 1 node Pizza + 1 Healer + 1 Attacker

Strategies
- Does not have damaging skills, normal mode can use a self healing tank to replace healer; hard mode needs Fondant Cake or 5 node Cloud Tea, thus the self healing tank needs to be taken out
- Not recommended to bring food souls with reduce Def ability as Fruit Tart can self cleanse
- Fruit Tart has self heal and invincibility, which means the requirements to down her is very high, recommended to lower difficulty if unable to kill

Thank you sm for this!! I’m so excited for all the events (even though half of them feel like filler) ₍₍ ◝( ゚∀ ゚ )◟ ⁾⁾
Heya! What does “balance” mean on the calculations?
its just the investigation points required after subtracting free points
Does this include the stamina from the daily log in too or no?
It does. All the stamina and butterflies from the daily login were also present in the CN version of this event.
If I want to refill stam 64 times would it be better to use up all 64 times asap or to spread them out over the course of the event?
Now that the Hard difficulty of Time Chess is unlocked, I would recommend using all your refills asap, as the bosses will only get harder and harder.
To get 5* Souffle + Whiskey skin, 21760 crystal + pack is needed. Which pack are you referring here?
