Agreed you should largely ignore this event, at least for the first few days. Leveling Bashira, Leanne and Mia/Iris (or Alissa if you're short on gold) is your priority. After them a duelist, Katie, Belinda and Yuyu (hopefully you get a better mage than Valerie, if not you'll have to level him too; Pallis the female silver mage is better if you get her). Daniela is generally better than Soma but Soma starts with a huge head start in affection and yours also has a massive level advantage so at this stage, where you're leveling a lot at once, just stick with Soma for now as your second archer. they're both totally outclassed by Spica (who outclasses all archers except Nanaly the Black and Bashira for burst damage) who should be a priority acquisition once you can manage at least Crystal Keeper N, if not H (Mia will help a ton here if she's leveled)
I see Phyllis is 49, she's actually functional for what she's supposed to do (generate UP) at Level 50 Pre-CC, so you can leave her where she is for the most part. ToTeras mentioned Cloris, but honestly you have Yuyu and Belinda, both generally superior witches so while you can and should do her challenge maps to pick up the free silvers and her, I wouldn't bother leveling her.
For duelists, Lolonee and Cypria are your only viable options, Elaine is meh at best 99% of the time. Depending on how many CR you got on Lolonee, you might prioritize Cypria despite her dependence on RNG simply due to UP costs.
If you find yourself running short on gold, sell iron fodder from story maps rather than using them in combination.
TLDR: Acquire Spica ASAP
Level Priority:
Bashira > Leanne > Iris/Mia (Alissa if gold is an issue) > Katie > Duelist > Soma > Belinda > Yuyu > Valerie
Once you get 200 DC, grab Spica and start leveling her ASAP (replace Bashira with Spica since by the time you get Spica Bashira should be 50CC30 at least)
NEVER CC/CE A UNIT YOU PLAN TO USE BEFORE LEVEL 50!!! I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH, FAILING TO DO SO WILL PERMANENTLY GIMP THE UNIT'S STATS!!!

One nitpick: I'd actually prioritize CCing Val over CCing a second witch on any account that gets no immediate gains from acquiring black spirits/beating Wall of Magic. Mages may be irritatingly expensive but they're a necessary evil on young accounts and the 70 extra range can make deployment a lot simpler.

And yeah , i agree that valerie/pallis takes priority over yuyu

Valerie over Yuyu is legit if he can't get a Pallis first, I'll admit, not sure why I said that. Soma before Belinda is precisely to make DC farming more accessible, since Spica access is a moderately high priority. Originally Posted by lolix

That, and you only get 1 guaranteed Pallis anyway. He's annoying to bond but like I said, it's hard to be picky about your AOE damage on a young account. Originally Posted by IvanLedah21

@Lolix: good point, except due to the discrepancy between Charisma and Stamina usage on Spirit Rescue and Crystal Keeper dailies, you can still get a couple story maps in on those days even if you do the dailies (assuming no Stamina refills with SC). Crystal Keeper H IIRC is 60 Charisma and 6 Stamina which is 3 and 6 hours of regeneration respectively. That's 60 charisma you can use on story maps per CK H run. Will he raise his witch slower that way? Absolutely. Is it worth it? I personally value Spica enough for it since I don't value witches that highly until the later story and daily maps which he's not ready for (considering he can clear up to War of Magic with non-CC Yuyu/Belinda and maybe a few other units in Phalanx 2, witches shouldn't be THAT high priority yet)
@Kayfabe: I don't even bother raising Trust on males I don't intend to AW. Their bases are naturally higher due to being much harder to raise Trust, plus the bonuses are much smaller than Affection bonuses. That said, it is indeed hard to be picky about the AOE damage on new accounts, so if he wants to raise and CC Valerie earlier than even the Duelist, he's welcome to do that, and it's not a bad idea.

I liquored him up but then again, that was back when the only reliable alternative to Val was throwing your DC at Cyrus and running into the same problem anyway. It would have taken 10+ months for the free stamp card booze to get the job done.

Not sure why everyone wants leeanne upped so quickly. Originally Posted by IvanLedah21

Granted, i knew what i was doing and DMM has no shortage of silvers. (plan was to skip leeanne entirely, and it worked out)
That said, you'll still need leeanne in nutaku for lack of a better replacement. Hopefully the end of the year we'll have a gold rush with bernice.

Katie pretty much covers as a tank till the harder maps.
Soma can be skipped if you are close to spica (>100+ DC) -> I would advice a VH to replace as the 3rd range dps when you need one
Talking to an unregistered, is like talking to a constant fart of air.
It stinks and you don't even know if its the same person.
So at least give yourself a name.

he is decently leveled up and pretty far already. He will need a real tank....especially if he wants to do at least a part of the future event maps. Also , he is a newbie . It's better totell him the basics first , and when he knows what he's doing , he can alter his own team comps as he seems fit.
