Also do the Big Bloomdragon only drop in Advance or can it drop in the lower difficulty?

The 100 Dragons can also drop in the Intermediate Stage, but with really low rates, like really low. It would be wise to just do the 80 Stamina one and retreat with the first 3 chests, if you are sure you can't beat it.

You want to stop doing 2-1 when all the silver and bronze in your squad are evolved and at around level 20-30, at that point the gold efficiency will strike back at you. Gold units can be raised to evolution point too, but it might be difficult to do the jump from 50 to 60 with just lvl 20 manyus.

Should I always max a girl's affection before evolving her? In other words, does the double affection bonus trigger the moment I evolve a girl or is it active as long as the two conditions: "evolved" and "100% affection" are met?

You can max Affction before, while evolving, after you have done it. The 2x Bonus will always trigger.
But still you should start with that before evolving, since the affection Bonus is a big + in Stats along with the fast first 40 levels. The new/enhanced Ability does only really make a difference at 5* or 6*, sure some exeptions here and there but still.

I personally find affection to be one of the most important things to raise on a girl. You get so many extra stats from 100% on 4*+ girls that it's close to another 30 or so levels and then you get to double that on evo!

Always check your stam when near new levels and if you have extra burn it on the 80 stam gift mission, it is worth it.

Anyone figured a good way to farm life crystals? I need more manyus, and maybe an equip slot.

The only efficent way to farm Life Crystals is to run Event Maps. Preferable the 80 Stamina Maps. How many Life Crystals drop from those Maps is different in each Event though.

You can't get Dressblooms from the Life Crystal Shop only Skillblooms. That means you can only get Skill Levels not Equipment Slots.

Second this. Also, if you just want to farm life crystals, wait for the second half of the event and grind the final map there (?-8) instead as you'll get an extra crystal per run compared to the last map of the first half (?-4).

Yeah, got mixed up there. It's for skills rather than equipment slot. Either way, they are both insanely hard to get (when was the last time you got 3 copies of the same 5* girl, not even mentioning a 6* here), so it wouldn't be the worst idea if they include an item that would add +1 equip slot for any 4*, 5*, etc. They can even make it cost the same as skill items.

Alright then. Since someone else already mentioned the best way to collect Fireworks is by doing Advanced, guess I'll keep there until Ultimate Phase 2 is up. And as a plus, you already get a couple of crystals there.

I think the only good way to get equipment slot for a specific 5* is to save up fg and spend it on limited gacha. On the other hand you alway get random 5 * on gacha and ticket.
