So usually someone asks for advice/help for shards event so I figured I'd jump the gun and give my tips. First off this seems like a longer shards event so keep that in mind.

-Dump all your Egacha tickets, since its longer you can actually stock up on shards for future events.
-Get the slayer in ngacha
-Spend the 50 win ticket if you are still missing one of the r slayers, or have decent odds for a sr.
-Try to use consumables to reach 200 wins on a couple days, Shards is the only "reliable" way to get sr gacha as a f2p. Also this helps lock in top 1k.

Team advice: Stack one type and only face rank 5's of who your strong against. I can expand on this if people have any questions about it.

Princess choice: Not sure atm. previously someone made a poll so we can choose the same 1 and get a sr. For now choose your waifu .

Anything else I missed?

Next event is perocolo. And perocolo is even worse than all Shards shit shown until today: SED cheats, now cutoff on rankings is back despite they promised to don't do it anymore (and will be only 5-7 days). Maybe the shitty event gacha will no longer as before, but who know.

I'll past next event. This plus the stupid item removal on shop give less favor to put cash on PPS.

It definitely says shards not colo. I wish it was colo, rewards are so much better. Also what are u talking about cutoff on rankings?

One of the last two colo was only with top 100 and only 5 days.

My biggest tip requires that you play the long game. Each Shards event has a collection of new girls and all of the previous event's new girls at a discount. I opted not to buy any of the new cards from the last event with the exception of the N card because they are always 100 shards.

Supposing that I manage to get all of the previous 'new' girls, I expect a total shard savings of 300-500 shards. This is pretty big since it is entirely possible to get screwed by the RNG gods during your e-gacha spins, particularly if you are free to play.

After you buy all of the girls from the previous event, STOP buying girls. Your patience will be rewarded next even when you can buy them at a discount. Sure, it means always being one event "behind," but it also means that you are more likely to expand your card count and SED overall. It only requires patience and will power.

The catch is, you have to buy them or lose them forever, but if you are serious enough to use my strategy, you are probably serious enough to get 300-500 wins in the event and get at least enough slayer cards for a bonus of +4 or higher. That is more than enough to get all of the previous girls.

Playing Shards
-Because Shards is the only way to get a guaranteed SR gacha (just stick to rank 5 battles against your weak opponent), *everybody* will end up with very comparable scores until the 300-streak
-Once people get past the 300-streak, the field will spread out a bit more, since some will be able to handle rank 1 / rank 2 opponents, and others won't, some even will simply quit the event after they reach the 300-streak. But if you want to make the top-1000 rankings, you'll have to get past the 300-streak first. Preferably as soon as possible. As long as you don't clear the 300-streak, don't have hopes breaking the top rankings, unless you ignore the streak entirely (pretty dumb, it has the better rewards to get you through the event) and go for top rankings straight away.
-If you have access to ex-levels, this is the event to use them. An 11,190 SED (Max +10 Ex) Hyuga beats an 11,160 (Max) SED Hyuga ( (Taking Hyuga as an example to highlight that she's currently the highest SED MOE card)

Spending Shards
-There have been reports of shards disappearing between events. It's very possible that they are on a timer. So don't keep your shards in stock forever. Better to spend them while you have them. As soon as you have enough shards to buy a girl, get her. Stocking up on shards comes after you get the girls again.
-You can also buy some other useful stuff with shards. Generally, after I get all the girls I want, I spend half the shards I earn during the remainder of the event on stuff like reveals and ex-wildcards. So I bring some shards to the next event, but also purchase some other stuff. Even if you aren't lvl 50 yet, it's not a bad thing to stock up on some ~30 Ex-Wildcards in preperation for when you are. You don't have to buy a whole set in one event, but 2-3 during each Shards event is a good start.

Late maintanance. I guess what means.

>Go monocolor with SED>5k on all cards(3 wins +/- jolly guaranted vs weakcolor. Every other combo exposes you to useless 5-0 and easier 0-5)

>Only fight when support is weakcolor or really High SED strongcolor (you are probably going to lose to a random strongcolor, this way you pretty much guarantee the win on your jolly)

>Feel free to winstreak vs rank1 weakcolor

>???

>Profit



Possible outcomes
-Your opponent is a competitive nice guy with 5x or 4x weakcolor cards, autowin.[50-60% of the times]

-Your opponent adopts a suboptimal strategy with 3xweakcolor and 2xstrongcolor but your jolly autowins just like you.[40-50% of the times]

-Your opponent is a jerk and plays 3xweakcolor AND 2x Higher SED samecolor [like 1-2%]: your jolly autoloses

- 33-66% of the times his random support is weak and you still get the 3-2 score.

- 33-66% of the times his random support reckts your 150+ winstreak: lay down, try not to cry and cry a lot.

Morale: To be completely safe play an High SED monocolor.
Also avoid jerks.
