And to be fair, sure RNG can be a bitch sometimes, but these Events currently are super easy. I mean we get a Lvl 25, which is nice for a start, and lvl 5 Battle Skill + all 4 Equip Slots which are a nightmare to increase on 5* and above. And you only have to spent like 2-3 Days at max to get all 12 medals from a phase.
Fighting with your own RNG luck is way better than fighting over leaderboards, like PeroPero Seductions Gambit Event.

Is there a trick or a good speed number for squads that people used for the 4th map, or is it just pure rng? I've dumped basically a day's worth of stamina into it now and my units just aren't hitting the right nodes, and as soon as any of the squads gets to the top path it puts a clock on when the map will end.

I've had luck (after countless tweaking) with Squad 1, Squad 3 with a Speed of 313 and 316 (i think it must be 311~312 at least, but i'm not sure: 313 is safe; Speed shouldn't be more than 320), Squad 2 and Squad 4 with a Speed of 556 and 560 (should be 550~560, but should be no more than 560), and the slowest helper you can; this way, you're guaranteed that Squads 1, 3, H will turn right at the first fork (they barely make it, but they make it), and being slower they give you more time before one of them finishes the map, if they go towards the end right away; Squad 2 and 4 will circle down south, and hopefully make it in time to the center, being faster.

The 311~313 min Speed is sort-of the minimum to reach the first fork in two moves; the 560 maximum Speed is sort-of the maximum to not reach the first fork in only one move (probably could go a little bit faster, but i didn't want to test my luck further).

This said, it still took me a total of ~10 runs, but i got it second time with this setup and some luck. No guarantees it will work if the RNG really hates you though (in fact, i still failed the first), but it's as close to minimizing the random-factor as i could make it.

EDIT: As a sidenote, i have no clue about the Squad Power required. The Boss in the middle seemed to deal damage based on % of current HP, but other than that, all my Squads had 30k+ Power and breezed through the map. I'd probably say 15k~20k Power or so each Squad, just to be safe.

For me, I cleared it with speed ranging from 378 - 478. I even had to remove Orchid for this map (because of the insane speed, whichever team she's in will pretty much breeze through the map, the webs can only slow her for like one turn).
And yea, the only thing you can control here is that node containing the blue arrow where you either go right (to the middle circle) or go further down. Rest is pure rng.

Then again tweaking team speed will help A LOT, especially when one or two teams will end up going to the webs right away.

Side note: for team power, my weakest team was around 42k. They didn't have any problems.

Finished!

Got super lucky -- all five teams stayed in the big center loop instead of going to the top-most boss right away. Rearranging the teams helped, too. Teams 1 and 3 were around 350 speed; teams 2 and 4 had around 550.

Done as well, finally. Back to 12-3 i go.

While my main account finished the event due to pure luck and RNG, my alt still has 11 medals due to RNG. Though I did roll the 10+1 gacha on my alt. and somehow got 3 copies of Saffron Tulip (wut?), as well as Lilac (new girl), Cyani, Hinoki, and another St. Paulia. Lilac will probably help me a lot for the second phase. And my Saffron Tulip now has 4 equipment slot, so go RNGesus. Time to continue doing the ?-4 mission and hopefully I get the 3rd medal.

Thanks for those speed numbers, that was exactly what I was looking for. Got it in 4 more tires after switching to that setup. I'm still not too happy with how much stamina this sucked up, but I guess I got a lot of gold without getting any manyus to give me a gold buffer for evolving...

I have finished the first part as well, yesterday. Regarding the last map I did nothing at all, my Teams had all a Speed around 400-500, and after several failure it ended well.

Map ?-4 is just pure RNG, really. You press a button, pray RNG goes well and that's it. Sure, you can try to tweak so that slower teams go upwards "in case" the faster teams go down and manage something there, but i cleared the map with having my 600+ speed 1st team just run around everywhere and RNG goodness everything in existence. In the end, horrible RNG won't help you clear that map no matter what you do.
