The majority of the time, the events usually favor having super speedy helper squads, by maybe a 3:1 ratio. And since helper squads are mostly that person's strongest lineup (that doesn't have to worry about balancing the rest of their team), it further reinforces the popular use of speedy helpers to bulldoze the map to the ground in minutes. But this event just so happens to be that 1:3 ratio, which prefers slower squads.

Yep Slower Squads are favourable for this Event. But i will stick with my Helper Squad anyway cause if i have to build a Slow Squad i would rather use some 5* and not some shitty 2*. I do not have enough slow 5* (only Bipinna Cosmos and Lily Rubellum) and i prefer Fast Squads anyway for 12-5 Farming. My Allies with low Speed are quite helpfull in this Event but i would advise anyone not to pump Manyus in Units you aren't a fan of only to have a Slow Squad for 2 Weeks.

I have a farming squad that is sitting at something like 1130ish speed lol. Dipladenia, Alpinia, Orchid and Anthurium in the same squad is some crazy speed lol. I prefer having my helper squad be all rainbows though lol, so I keep that at Anemone, Black Bacarra, Alpinia, Dianthus and Fritillaria. 3 hit-all rainbow skills, a hit-3 random skill + counter, a self-heal skill and a 10% heal on pest nodes is a very damn well-sustained team ; )

For this event, I could swap Alpinia with Kerria (also self heal but slower and no team speed boost) if my allies wished it.

The sad thing is most of my helpers are now speedy bastards. So I have to rely on non-Allies for that purposes, assuming they are strong enough for that.

I took a break from farming pumpkins today. I could use the life crystals, but the pumpkins are easy enough to farm anyway. However, today was purple and yellow manyus, and the Manyu map now generally gives me at least one lvl 100 and a lvl 20 manyu (and 1-3 lvl 5 manyus as well), which is overall more rewarding than having to run the eventmap 15-20 times for a single ATK ampy through life crystal exchange.
Next Sunday, I'll probably run the red/blue manyu map as well instead of farming pumpkins.

@Wutan, Ivan: I'm personally fine with your 700-ish squads as they are. Heck, even 600 speed will do. I still need some balance among my helpers. I think half of my usual 10-helper cycle for 12-5 became much slower than mine, and I'm currently limited to the 3 of you including fate.

I can tinker mine if you need a slow helper team. I already moved Dipladenia out of the main as she keeps dragging it past my helper and into the nests of 12-5. Lol.

Heh, I set up my 887 speed helper squad specifically for that purpose: to race through 12-5, clear the final row of nests and engage the bosses at (near) full health.

I miss hitting raid bosses, this event is kinda lame but the reward is good, especially the new accessories.

But I don't have you though.

Gotta go fast slow!

When you added me sometime at the end of E12, I was using a different alias. I'm using my forum name now for a change.

Thank you friend

Often Times i am worried cause at some point there was a Strawpoll about favourite Helper Squad Speeds and if i remember correctly 500-ish and 600-ish were the most favourite Speeds...

Imo i have a great Ally-List with all kinds of different Speed. But i wonder when i will get the last four Ally-Slots available???

Level 100 maybe?
