Rewards
This is a Gold Rush event. One new map will be added every day for 10 maps total.

->Open Spoiler<-

Aim for drop completion on event maps to get a specific Gold rarity Shrine unit as a reward!
This year lineup consists of:

Map 1: Sorceress of the Holy Night Ryuryu - Wow, an seasonal holiday-appropriate unit AT the time of a holiday? Nice! This Gold Witch (yes, witch, not mage of shaman or whatever) possesses Magic Enhance skill, same as lovely silver Naynia, placing her firmly in the middle of Cloris - Yuyu pair skill and stat-wise. Awakeining weirdly reduces her range (to 190 compared to standard 220) in exchange of increased attack speed. Skill Awakening trades attack increase of previous skill for even more powerful range increase and even more attack speed.
Map 2: Ninja Hien - a male gold Ninja with Increase Attack III skill, he's an obvious upgrade over Saizo for your male-only team.) Awakeinig just decreases his cost (even further than it does for oter ninjas), and Skill Awakening turns him into a melee fighter with 2.5x attack power and one-shot resurrection. Oh, and he also has an interesting distinction of being one of the few ninjas who can still block (with his Skill Awakening) on DMM side, where one of patches made all ninjas 0-block) -- Side note: banner DON'T list him and says there's 10 missions, so there's a big chance his map is cut out of our version.
Map 3: Large Shield Maiden Bernice - a gold female Heavy Infantry who is even better than plat ones! Off-skil, she has more defense than even Gellius!! And not that far behind in skill, with the power of valuable Increase Defense III! And providing sizable defense buff to all heavies with Awakening ability!!! Definitive must-get for every player. On a side note, Skill Awakening turns her into adamantine clad counter-attacking porcupine)
Map 4: Philosopher Barbastroff - a better gold male Mage of the two, providing migher attack for the same Splash Attack II skill as Cyrus. Awakening slows his attacks a bit in exchange for better range, while Skill Awakening, once again shared with Syrus (to the point they appear togever in its attack animation!) adds power multiplier to present splash radius increase, but paralyses him after aw'skill expires.
Map 5: Earth Fairy Dorothy - a gold female Avanger that boasts a safety net one-shot revival skill to complement her class's low-HP-attack-increase trait. Awakenig adds a chance of critical blow on top of that, and skill awakening allows to increase that chance.
Map 6: Avenger Vincent - a gold rarity male Vampire Hunter with Increase Range II skill to counter his class's inherent shortsightedness. Awakening adds a chance to fire another volley straight after previous one without a downtime. Skill Awakening gives him (near-)suicide button, exploding for 7x true damage on all enemise in near doubled radius in exchange for 90% of his current HP.
Map 7: Lancer Kerry - a gold Valkyrie with Increase Attack III skill. Awakening increases her attack power but decreases attack speed, hurting her ability to do her job in handling rushes as often as helping her deal with bosses. Skill Awakening gives her a skill that after initial charge-up turn increases both her attack and defense, gives her regeneration and doubles UP payoffs for her kills;
Map 8: Swordsman Kojuro - a gold male Samurai with thrusty Increase Defence IV skill to protect his behind while he turns all three blocked enemies into sushi at once. Awakening does not reach his dead fish eyes) but accentuates his dependable nature even more, by buffing defense of all Samurai in the team. Skill Awakening trades some defense multiplier and one attack (not block) target for HP multiplier for that hard hitting one-shotting bosses).
Map 9: Hand to Hand Warrior Gina - a gold female Monk with powerful Rush! skill that turns her into machinegun of fist blows. Awakening capitalises on that by adding the chance to deal true damage instead of physical one, that really adds up with fast attack speed. Skill Awakening trades attack spead for attack multiplier and HP increase, effectively repurposing her from rush clearer to boss fighter.
Map 10: Chief Soldier Julian - third gold rarity Reinforcement soldier, HP-based one, and only male among them.) In contrast to his female peers, his Awakening ability does not buff the team but instead gives him a chance to deal a critical hit. Also in contrast to them, his Skill Awakening is actually useful for his role, as it makes his skill automatically activate as soon as it becomes available!
Map 11: Falen Angel Erun - the first and only female gold Angel and an obvious upgrade to our lovely silver futa. All Angels we have share same basic skill, so you can increse it with spare Niels. Awakening adds the HP regeneration for entiree party when skill is not active, and Skill Awakening heals everybody once in addition to usual attack mode engagement)

But wait, there's more! Achieve the 3* on a map and get a specific platinum event unit to appear and become a possible drop on subsequent runs (but with abysmal rates). Good thing is they are not needed for drop completion) In fact, they won't even appear in the mission select screen, so don't be surprized by it. So who goes where?

Map 1: White Witch Belinda;
Map 2: Ninja Azami (Side note: banner DON'T list her and says there's 10 missions, so there's a big chance this map is cut out of our version.);
Map 3: Mystic Folklorist Odette;
Map 4: Holy Warrior Maribel;
Map 5: Puppeteer Rika;
Map 6: Beastwoman Ada;
Map 7: Magic Swordswoman Charlotte ;
Map 8: Miko Shiho;
Map 9: Monk Lynn;
Map 10: Should have been Yurina T_T. Now is Pitch Black Archer Rita;
Map 11: Should have been Chloe T_T. Now is Warmaiden Emilia.

First 4 runs had 2 Belindas drop but no Black Fairies or Calliope so far.

I'll just keep making random teams

**lolix** · 12-27-2016

good work again zero. Can't wait to see the golem

**AgentFakku** · 12-27-2016

Don't forget to put Erun for new units in the OP

**Ramazan** · 12-27-2016

^
Thx for the guide, again

Also, holy """WOMAN!!?""" elyse? If she was actually a """WOMAN!!""" then we should've seen her art in the banner instead of sprite... at least... Really, nutaku relesed nothing but lolis in past weeks but all sprite form.

**IvanLedah21** · 12-27-2016

So uh... when do we get the platinum event units after achieving 3* + Drop Completion? Because I'm not seeing any such Belinda drops (nor in gifts or anything). Or is that yet another Nutaku-Fail?

**Eab1990** · 12-27-2016

>even guide

YA FUCKED UP ZET

Should make a note that plat units only appear when maps are 3*'d, and have a low drop rate.

Now might be a good time to try to finish mincosting Charlotte...

**lolix** · 12-27-2016

gotta mincost odette myself. both copies are at 3cr since i had terriblel luck on both accounts

I have the same question myself. I don't particularly care about Belinda since I mincosted her but seeing as I lack pretty much every other platinum on the list I'd like to know how you get them.

Unregistered · 12-27-2016

The banner is very poorly worded. The plat units have a chance to drop in subsequent runs of the map after getting 3*. This is independent of drop completion for earning the gold unit (in fact they don't appear as drops in the mission select screen after dropping either).
