I can't remember if Shards 1 was just longer or if this one just felt harder. I know I had a higher multiplier because I had a free SEC for getting the 1000 rank bonus. Plus 1800 shards is a LOT harder to get. I think it was 1600 to get them all last time. I'm right at 1600 shards for this event, so I'm feeling the 200 shard difference pretty hard. I think I can barely make it, but last time I came away with all three girls and a bunch of consumables. This time I end up with all three girls or two out of three and some consumables. What a shame.
