I only run the daily when I have 80 stamina to burn and can't wait for 40 more stamina to build up to run 12-5. Or when I had 120 stamina and 12-5 didn't spawn the garden.

Running 12-5 gets me a level a day. Running the dailies makes leveling take much longer. Not that the level itself is all that important other than the small increase in max stamina, but it does mean more runs/gatherings with the refill, which is really important.

This is so true, i always calculate the exp needed to level up so i can level up just before a daily i need to spam badly or something like that, timing the level up stamina refills helps a lot

I even run lower level maps so that I get just under the XP needed to level, then run 12-5 to go over the top.

The biggest difference is if you need the colours of the daily and need them badly then it's worth it. If you do not or are after any colour then the chance on SG is probably better. Remember that SG is only about a 40% chance at best, the boss and no spawn being the rest so if you are after Manyus and nothing but them the daily is better. If you also want XP and Gacha seeds then never do the daily.

Currently if you get a bad daily run 2-3 lvl 5's before you finish the run you can reset and try again. But doing this more then once is a bad idea.

Hmm actually I believe that the 80 Cost Special Mission should not be guaranteed to Drop the 20-100 Manyu's. (Except for the Middle chest that you could miss most runs)

I actually believe that this is a bug that they haven't caught yet probably because nobody is reporting it. So I think that People should just continue to quietly grind out 12-x + 80 Special as long as its available. Unless you need to waste Stamina... Or are in particular need for a certain color of Manyu in particular. I'm majorly Purple short atm I've only maxed my first 5* and nearly done the second but have had to save Purple Manyu's for the newest Event 5* that will be being given out tomorrow.

Given the cost of getting the special garden and it's stamina cost to run I think it is guaranteed
