Huh, interesting, never knew about that. Still, doesn't really affect anything in my opinion.

I haven't thought that would be the case since I thought the power ranking was measured by simply adding the total power of each team in a set together. I don't have too much trouble believing it since I lowered the power on my shared team to balance the rest that I'm using. Also I've never treated the power ranking as a type of competition but as a indicator to make sure I'm not missing anything that would help me lvl my teams and at the end of the day if you can run the events "end game" dungeons reliability then it shouldn't matter should it.

In the 30k-60k range, it can be quite normal for player to suddenly take a leap. It's the range where having one or 2 friends with 60k+ helper squads enables 12-3 farming, which regularly drops Sacred Beast Ampy's and lvl 100 Manyu's (in the Secret Garden). And those two things can give a great boost to the power of their squads.

I have three teams bordering 60k and one on the 40k range and despite all odds it seems I was unaware of the 12-3 farming and was trying to complete the others levels in an attempt to complete them (12-2,4,and 5). I doubt there's a difference in secret garden drops but I'll farm there and see how it goes.

I will also take into consideration the state of my helper team as well as others have mentioned to stay consistent.

It's the same Secret Garden, with pretty similar drops, but 12-3 is a relatively easy map to fully clear all the chests (2 squads starting right in front of the blue arrow node, the rest starting in the bottom node), mix teams around a bit depending on their strength and speed to make sure the teams passing through the bottom left chest and the top chest can actually beat the pests right in front of them, though that shouldn't be a problem with 40k squads. It's a safer investment of stamina than the later maps which have a bit more RNG and avarage below that in the amount of chests picked up.

But somebody did the math and 12-5 still is the best map if you can comfortably clear it right? (which I can't, I still farm 12-3 either way)

I'm starting to feel a bit badass now I'm farming 12-5, I suspect 12-3 may be a litlte better fro chests mind

Assume the odds of ampys is the same 12-1 -> 12-5

I feel like 12-3 is more efficient, because it spawns secret stage frequently than 12-5. Sure 12-5 gives better exp/money/seeds, but during my 12-5 grinding week I rarely spawn special stage, even when my raid boss is still alive.

Few days ago I switched back to 12-3 and special stage spawning regularly.

Not sure how about the others, since it's recently happening to me.

Prolly those mid grade seeds from the event and upgading acce.

12-5 is supposed to be one of most XP efficient missions beside 20-5.

I'm pretty sure equipment isn't actually taken into account for total power.

Any idea when we are going to get more campaign missions?
