Rewards

This is a Unit Farm event.
The event unit is obtained as a drop on event maps and upgraded by regular process of Unit Combination with more of her copies.

Introducing the Holy Hammer Warrior Miranda, our second event Heavy Infantry. She is also an Attack-oriented one, but now without Holy Warriors' signature Holy Awakening, so she gets FULL Platinum level stats. Instead of Holy Awakening, she has scaled-down version of Black rarity Deine's infamous Dynamite Power skill, powering her attack up to x4, in exchange of halved attack speed. Combined with Miranda's HP-Atk affection bonus, that's a lot of hurt) Awakening further pushes her attack focus, giving her passive ability increasing all your Heavy Infantries attack by 7% by merely being in the team. While on the defensive heavies it might be not that noticeable, if you ever manage to luck out on Black variants, that would push their damage further through the roof). Skill Awakening, whenever it hits our shore, trades 5 seconds of uptime for bigger multiplier (x5.5 instead of x4), but adds a self-paralysis self after skill ends. While more power for the same cooldown is very appealing, that self-paralysis hurts her performance as Heavy, should somebody survive her onslaught, releasing entire mob she was holding to pour down the lane. On the other hand, if you were unlucky enough to pull the Liana, she could be used to negate this downside.
Still, while all that attack power increasing skill is fun to play with, it doesn't really help her in her actual role - to tank multiple hard-hitting mobs. And while her natural defense is pretty respectable, Bernice, a Gold rarity unit has more. And as skill features no defense multiplier, actual level of mobs she can safely face is middling at best. And when you don't have to worry about hard-hitting mobs too much and just need to stall and clear the wave, you have your Samurai. Her only edge over Bernice is her beefiness, allowing her to facetank a 4k hits without any buffs AWmax, so you can use her, for example, to keep couple of 2.5k golems occupied. So, all in all, while Miranda will be an upgrade if only Heavy you have are silvers, if you have Bernice or even Maribel, she won't see much use.

Comments about the event

Major players are Heavy Armors, so bring your best magic units to counter their defenses. Ghost return, wandering off the roads and being capable of harming your ranged units should they touch them, so be careful with positioning. There should have been a debut of Mage Armors capable of blasting all units in range with magic attack, and Red Armors, who are three times as fast as normal armors , but if you have been doing G-tier Monday daily you already have seen them in action.) Miranda is pretty powerful, but not terribly threatening without her skill up. But should you see her surrounded with aura... Long story short, while trying G-tier, bring your supertank capable of eating 3k damage and healing to back her up. Speaking of G-tier, it features entire lineup of Heavy Armor enemies, all with defenses increased three-fold, so good magic damage is imperative there.

Expect regular farming drop rates of ~10% for silvers and (stam^2+1)% for event unit, with 90/12 being 100% drop.

On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:

• Archer (Soma) (map 2);
• Rogue (Cecily) (map 3);
• Heavy Infantry (Bernard) (map 3);
• Pirate (Verotte) (map 4);
• Soldier (Gustav) (map 4).
• Healer (Alyssa) (map 5);
• Artillerist (Percis) (map 5);
• Witch (Caliope) (map 6);
• Valkyrie (Misha) (map 6);

Other

New Classes Being Introduced

->Open Spoiler<-

Thief / Master Thief / Treasure Hunter

A class whose units by merely being in the team ncrease the drop rates of any items (non-unit drops. Meaning DC, MC, affection, trust, AW orbs, Item Collection tokens) and at the same time buff enemies attack and HP. Have innate Gold Get, but considering their rather weak stats and low range their performance on the field is lacking. Drop rate increase don't stack with other thieves, but does stack with specific drop rate boosters like Monica or Cuterie.
Numbers are: Before awakening drop rates for items increase +3%, enemy attack and HP is buffed by x1.2. After Awakening drop rates for items increase +5%, enemy attack and HP is buffed by x1.3.
If you have powerful enough team to overcome enemy buffs, that additional drop rates pay off over time. Slowly)
