soranokira, thanx for the kind words and good suggestions to the newbies)
Sure is frustrating to not get the featured unit, I know that (probably forever be bitter about Solano:) But really, it would be best to concentrate on powerlevelling for now, and only spend the token effort in events. There will always be revivals, some day XD
Then, If you spend SC for full blessing, it should be possible to at least 12 star the event towards the end of the next week even with starter team.
Err, there is exactly same information on the very top of this forum, in sticked threads)
