During advent events, only N, bronze and silver mats will increase. I've tested using a MLB anzu with a support sleipnir, anzu or vlad, D'Art with snatch 2nd and Mammon for 3 events, casting snatch on every enemy in rounds 1 and 2, and using all 3 snatches twice on the boss. In the end, the increase was 5-7%. It saves a few battles when the rewards you want require a majority of non-gold mats. Reduced elemental boost from the eidos and reducing damage in order to cast snatch often offsets time saving, so It's best to use them in a way that doesn't slow you down too much.
