Regarding their personal equipment you are not wrong bot neither fully correct.
Some of the girls have very shit equipment, while others like Faust or my Tengu chan haver very very good one.
The first event girl, the Purple chick with frilly clothes ? Her equip boost defense..... while her whole setup is a Nuker.
I swapped her stuff around and her damage changed drastically. Honestly I am not fan of the fact that you can have multiple copies of your personal equipment. Wish you could upgrade it, because for girls like Faust, whats the point of giving her anything beside the Scythe.
Even the best gold tier dress doesnt give her as much Performance as her native weapon.
Meanwhile other girls can absolutely skip on their native equip and go for whatever you choose to build them with. Played around with this a lot yesterday.
The even itself is OK, but the problem is the randomness and miniscule drop rates. If the basic people in the audience dropped 10 currency instead of 1.... and the special characters each dropped 50 (since they are rare and you dont get them often) I could see it being much more reasonable.
Also the Quest missions for the event should have been rewarding you with additional event currency instead of stupid random shit.
And yes, with that in mind, the girl is super overpriced.
I am aiming for the Rainbow ticket, Skillbloom and 1 copy of her for collection. Thats it. Will be lucky If I can get at least that much.
I sincerely hope DMM players in JP are stirring the ever living tsunami of shit and throwing flac at the devs. This is the second event in a row with totally unreasonable demands for you to get even the basic rewards out of it. Clearly there is something very very wrong going on with how they setup the loot tables and amounts dropped.
Also I found that if you have rainbow blooms the best idea is to spend 2 on each NATIVE Rainbow. This will get you one copy of her weapon and one extra item slot for whatever you wish to give her (example: the 900+ speed items, performance items, or the one of these that drop from the Tower maps, one is speed the other performance, they both are very good if maxed out.). This will get you much further than focusing on a single rainbow trying to max her out.
