This events really gutty - I'm getting RNG screwed - but life crystals are nice, and with a reset coming

So far, I've been alternating my setup for ?-4 between 2-1-2 and 3-1-1. Bottom tent would always have my team 1, to activate the magnifying glasses, while middle squad would have Dipladenia to race through the webs.
The nice thing about 3-1-1 is, that at completion, one of the teams will circle through the pests top left to gather some extra coins, but the extra bottom unit with 2-1-2 means I get a shot at another fast team taking the low route and possibly grabbing a chocolate or solar node. So I'm still not sure which I like better.
I actually wonder whether there's anything extra hidden below the nests in the top left, but I never managed to get through that part in time.

left to right or bottom to top I've been running 1-2-2, 1st squad is normally squad 1, middle squad includes squad 4 which has violette

I use default. Just make sure squad 1,2 and 3 have net resistance and Helper is strong enough to kill 2 boss so you wont lose time

I hate this event. Every single time I try for the event drop from the gatcha, I have to damn near empty the thing before I get it. I don't know if they purposely made the drop for the equipment/skill item to be at a lower rate compared to everything else, or if I'm just being unlucky. Whatever it is, it's sure rage-inducing. I'm on 5/7 now, and with the coin cost increasing each reset, I'm not looking forward to grabbing the remaining three items. I have a feeling I will be doing this, and only this, for the next week+. :/

As the blooms are 5* items, I just expected it to have worse drop rates than the other rewards (3* girls/manyus, 1* coins/seeds), so I just single roll whenever I have EC. Don't do the 10 roll. You'll never know when you actually get the special item(s) with a single roll; if you do, you can use any spare EC on the next round.

I'd say mine's been generally good to me, except Round 5. Currently at 6/7. Took me no more than 5 single draws to get the blooms in Rounds 2 and 4. Probably more of bad luck on your side, if anything.

reset 5/7 is currently also being cruel to my low level semi-newbie butt. 45 pulls and no skillbloom. only 5 to go. Up until 5/7 the most I had to do was 22 on reset 3/7. Which I've been thankful for since all I've really been able to grind is e-2 with the occasional e-3 when I had a 40k+ rainbow helper pop up on the list.

It only depends on how lucky you are. I get pass all round 3 4 5 6 with <10 pulls
