To give a random benchmark, my squad with 4 teams ranging from 70k to 80k power each can do the map rather easily. One team might end up dying if they take too long and spawn a lot of flies, but only one team.

I was able to clear it at first with total power of around 170k only, and one good squad around 80k. Seems like people are making too much fuss over how strong you actually need to be for these events. Either that, or foolishly leveling their 4 squads evenly instead of focusing on one or two strong squads first.

I would think that it's percent based, since all your units take the same amount of dmg regardless of hp and defence.

I'm beginning to wonder about the bloom drop rate in advanced. So far it has been 9-10 runs and no blooms... Last map has quite a difficulty leap compared to the others and I can't clear it yet.

Try hard to clear ?-4.
The bloom drop rate is almost 100%
I played ?-3 five times and only got one bloom

I got 4 blooms in 4 runs on ?-4, and since the rate to upgrade her is 100% that is all you need. Don't waste time on ?-3 it has nothing worth farming.

I think they changed it when nutaku went into maintenance. On day 1 the 1st bloom I used literally failed, it didn't add a skill level then after nutaku maintenance, boom! maxed skill level with no hassle. They even changed the event banner (now it says you can only apply the blooms to mountain lily.) And another thing I noticed is mountain lily only needs the same bloom dragon requirement as a 4* knight for evolution.

Indeed, don't bother wasting time and stamina on ?-3. I've cleared ?-4 twice so far and gotten the drop both times. You do not need to clear everything on the ?-4 map, just the final boss to reach the chest. Look for a stronger helper squad.
Otherwise, you still have time to farm normal maps and strengthen your teams.

I think they changed the skillblooms from ?-4, but forgot to change blooms from ?-3. I've gotten one from third stage after the maintenance and it can be used on other girls, while all blooms I've gotten from forth stage can't.

My girls looove playing follow the leader on the lefternmost branch on the Ultimate stage. Doesn't matter if I stack 2 or 3 girls there, they either ALL go to the Boss or ALL go to the normal pest. In all of my playthroughs of that stage (successful and otherwise, well over 10, less than 15), they've split up ONE time. I've changed personnel combos, different helpers, everything. Someone mentioned a timing issue with the arrow, and I tried that; pointing DIRECTLY down and she hangs a hard right. *sigh* Any ideas?

On the topic of Skillblooms, I went 5 for 5 on that stage with the chest, before and after the maintenance. Sorry some of you guys miss out on it. Lame.

Pray to RNGesus harder lol. I've never heard of timing or the direction being pointed at affecting anything though.
