what is it "Lily Skillbloom" and how to use it?

As someone with units not suited for the map, i wanted to warn the people in the same situation.

So far what i'm doing is going for the chest with a really strong helper i know i can count on to kill/weaken the boss reliably unless some really weird shit happens (last run random arrow only allowed a team to go up after the 7th try and still killed the boss with some margin to spare), until i can get Mountain lily to lvl 5 skill. After that, i'll forget about the event and farm 12-3 as usual and go back in the last day for the 2 flower gems and that 10% affection object.

But i would like to be able to clear it on my own...it hurts my pride a bit D=

I feel it is slightly easier than 12-5 (at least my team can barely clear 12-5 and has a somewhat easier time with this event) so you can use that as a benchmark - if you can clear 12-5 then you can beat this map. It's better to waste 40 stamina on 12-5 than 120 on the event map :P

You use it like a regular upgrade material, such as a Manyu. Use it on Mountain Lily to level up her skill (with RNG). It also gives the same amount of exp as a same-type lv 5 Manyu.

Also, they have changed the event picture to say that the skillbloom only works on Mountain Lily now. Checking in my upgrade screen, indeed on other knights it only acts as a lv 5 Manyu. I didn't manage to get a Skillbloom until just now, did it work for other unit's skills earlier?

Side note:
And speaking of upgrading skills, suppose I upgrade a knight with 2 copies of the same girl in order to level up her skill. Is there any difference in the RNG % between upgrading once using both copies together, or doing them separately? (Apart from gold costs due to leveling up from the first one).

I didnt use it on others, but I tried to put it in as Material. There was no "Level Up Chance" Message. So I didn't try.

If you use multiple skill up materials at once, they will act like they get fed one at a time. You don't get an upgraded chance at one skill level up. You can test this yourself using 2 star girls from normal gacha.

Aaand done. Did the Ultimate stage 5 times, got 5 Skillblooms and Mountain Lily's skill is now at Level 5. I'll continue to play this stage since it gives a lot of gold and gacha seeds.

I see a lot of guys on here saying they've got Mountain Lily (who I take it you first acquired via the Intermediate stage) all leveled up with Skillblooms, etc. Did I miss something..or wouldn't it just be easier, in a sense, to just wait two weeks and get all the medals, as you probably would anyway?? Maybe you guys know something I don't know, its QUITE possible, but it seems like a lot of fuss and wasted stamina if you're just going to get all those medals anyway. (And even then, you get a souped up Mountain Lilly as a reward for getting all the Medals, does this one from "Intermediate" become relatively useless, along with the Skillblooms? Again, I may've misinterpreted something. Thanks in advance.)

EDIT- Re-reading and re-reading the Mountain Lily splash page..yeah, didn't even occur to me. My brain just took it as "get all the medals," wow, that could've been something. Relatively new to Nutaku, are a lot of events (in other games) more like this as opposed to the other events where 24 medals = GOOD JOB?

Just an idea, but wouldn't it be good for the Ultimate Map, that you could put all squads on the lowest starting spawn, since there is no Button. It looks like the big Nest opens after roughly 5 squads have over a button. So would extend the time your squads have to RNG their way to the top.

Have you tried that yet? It would be very interesting if that worked cause those stupid insects are kicking my butt right now.
Anyone have any strats for not getting to 10% life from the insects? :/
So sad not having a Toad Lily x_x

I tried it once, starting on the lowest spawn with everyone. It doesn't really work as well as it would be preferred, since you let the two nests up North live to slowly chip your HP away and unlock the southernmost switch faster.
