Star of the show:

(Re)Introducing the Automata Expert Rika, a Platinum rarity Puppeteer. Being the only Puppeteer so far, she represents a class that can't be healed but regenerate when not attacking. Normally she is a melee unit who blocks 1 enemy and pummels it with her huge stats, but when her skill is used, she loses that block and switches to sped-up ranged attack, allowing for an effective gatekeeping and frontline support. Awakening improves her regeneration from 6 HP / 0.5 s to 8 HP / 0.5 s and gives her 20% chance to deal critical attack (x1.8 power). Skill Awakening is most notable, as it changes her attack type from Physical to the True! Yep, powerful ranged attack that ignores all kinds of protection, on a event unit. And in distant future, Second Awakening sends her on the path of Doll Master, supercharging her regeneration in addition to some stat gains.

Comments about the event

Seeing as it is a revival of an rather ancient event, maps should pose no real problem for any developed army, not to mention Awakened one A new G-tier map is added just for them, and to ease up the Rika farming, as it is 90/12 guaranteed event drop map! Anyway, Armored dolls are, well, armored, so pack your favorite magic damagers. Lava maps can be handily countered by Pippin or any other Feng-shuists, and Efreets should be dueled some distance away from your main formation, but other than that, have fun!)

On a silver farming front:

• Samurai (Sanosuke) (map 2);
• Archer (Soma) (map 3);
• Witch (Nainya) (map 4);
• Rogue (Cecily) (map 5);
• Soldier (Gustav) (map 5);
• Monk (Dan) (map 7);
• Pirate (Giovanni) (map 7).

There's also a tin can on maps 4 and 5
