In the end I finished with almost 53k trophies and could get the card. I am also a F2P player and I only had the 2 N slayers in the normal gacha for this event. Fortunately, I was very lucky on Tuesday and used pero glasses in many chances with 100 or 300 trophies. I had to be very active to get the chance though. This is by far the most unfair event for free players.

Looking forward to the elite guard event!

A lot of grinding? I used about 100 radars and like 5 glasses and then just a lot of spins, like over 2000 in the last two days. I ended up with 80k trophies. to.

I got 50k last time to without any slayers and that was a lot harder, I probably used 500+ radars and 75 glasses.

I'm also pretty high level so that probably helps a lot to, 589 max stam.

I burned a few radars this time. I went into the event with about 100 and left the event with about 75. In the meantime, I probably used 200-300 radars, but I also got that many. Radars were easy to get, especially in pink boxes.

Glasses, I used a bit more liberally. I had no glasses going into the event, but I had a LOT at the end. I used just enough to secure 50k then stopped. I finished with 52k and plenty of glasses to pass on.

F2p level 35 player here. I got like 15k trophies with both N slayers (didn't have any event gacha tickets until much later; just decided to save them for the next event). This was my first Gambit, and I just barely got to room 200 with some of my peronamin (after using all of my shakes). It is a killer event for me; I was jumping on every possible moment to use up my stamina (about 200 max). I thought I might be able to get top 1000 for the SR card, but ended up somewhere around 1300-1500

I did decently well in the Coliseum, despite having just started playing at the beginning of the event. At least I could get the consecutive victories awards without too much of an issue (faced the lowest rank Babe opponents with a Sexy R team and a lvl 100 SR Babe), and I made top 1000 (I think) for the second half in victories. Then again, that was a bit more balanced because everyone has the same amount of focus, as opposed to stamina. But I was very disappointed that I had to really bust my butt to get anywhere near decent rewards in this one. I only hope that the Elite Guard is more forgiving than this.

i don't think so

Gambit is super hard if you're a FtP player. You were leveled enough to make it through the 200 floors, but it's by far the hardest event to make progress without slayer cards.

EG is much easier to get rewards, particularly if you have friends.

The only explanation to this is either your level and STA you get from Shakes, or i don't know - some secret + insane luck.

I always play so much that i only let my stamina stay full when i'm sleeping (8-10 hours, usually), and during Events i usually even skip sleep several times and stay awake and play for around 30 hours continuously like 2-3 times during an Event... I don't use any peronamin, but i use all the Shakes i get, all the Radars and Glasses (can't quite remember how much i used this time, but i had none at the beginning of the Event and used almost all i got during the Event, giving up and saving some only in the last day when it was obvious i won't get near to even 35k if i keep going like this, so there was no point in wasting it and i decided to save some for the next gambit). I usually get only N Slayers (and i get them as soon as they are added to the game, without even rolling the search before i get them and max them out to multiply any Trophies i'll get) and this time i even got lucky to get an SR slayer... And every time i end up with like 25-28k Trophies (30 this time but still - half of what i need to get 50k card). Oh, and i usually get to location 100 and 200 one day before the corresponding Phase ends going like that, and use Glasses only on Choice of Fate with one or two correct answers if i can't get through it from the first try and for Trophy Chance when there are some Step-Up Images (so there is a 100 or 300 Trophies card almost for sure). And still - only half of 50k. So what is the secret? Should i burn Peronamin and Glasses whenever i find them to get to location 100 and 200 in one day and then blindly hope to get lucky picks and get 100's and 300's in the Bonus Stage for the whole week? Or don't use any consumables or even play for Phase 1 and rush through all the stages during Phase 2 when i get eGacha tickets from event daily login bonus and maximum SECs from both Phases that i can? I just don't understand how you manage to get 50 or even more k Trophies and i get only half of that by doing all i can...

Gambit isn't really about activity though, because it's about spamming tons of stamina rather than focus. That also means that you do indeed benefit massively from having more stamina, since the more stamina you get from one consumable the higher the odds are you get another shake/peronamin with the stamina you just got back. Also, I know from your past posts that you're not a big fan of camping caches, which is pretty important during the gambit to get more consumables. If you want to get ahead in the gambit through activity, camping caches is pretty much the way to go.

I'm also not sure why you wouldn't use peronamins during the gambit. When else are you going to use them? Only Gambit really requires you to use peronamins and imo you shouldn't use consumables outside of events.

Well, probably you are right. I just don't like to use consumables, since they are "paid items" in general, and if i'll get used to using them i will run out of them one day when i'll need them - and that day will come pretty fast, i guess... So i mostly (of not "only) using them to adjust my EXP level to get the maximum profit from level-ups (like, using a half-peronamin to roll some more Exploring or GHQ to complete the third daily mission streak to get an SR WC or R Gacha Ticket and get another level-up and burn STA &/or Focus it gives before going to sleep, instead of going to sleep with like 6000/6200 Exp to wake up with full 400 STA, use 200 of it and get a level-up, just discardinmg like 200 STA or something like that, or going to bed with 7/10 Exp and 8/10 Pero Daily streaks. Or i'm using the consumables like Pero Puddings during EG events, when i need to poke alot of SEGs to get tons of loot and 200 SEG eliminations. Other than that i try to use only Temporary COnsumables, to play through Events "pure f2p" and see the results, saving Peronamin and Puddings "for the hard times". But i guess, Gambits are those "hard times", and seeing how much loot, including SR WCs and even R Gacha Tickets i get during the Events, i'm starting to think that Daily Missions are not worth trying to complete, since their completion takes too much time from me and sometimes - consumables, too - and i can always compensate those rewards by loot during Events.
As for the case camping - in the first place, if you read my previous posts, you should know why i dislike such behaviour and that i consider it unfair to other players to do that. The second thing about it - is just the fact that i'm not a machine, to spend hours by just clicking 2 buttons - and i don't want to even keep the game running in background all the time, lowering FPS in the other games that i play, that don't run smooth enough even without other heavy stuff like Flash games in the background and alt-tab to it every few minutes, or wait for it to load every time (and PPS still disconnects and requires to be reloaded every 30 minutes, so it doesn't make sense to keep it running in the background if you don't visit it more that once in half an hour or even less frequently, anyway). If i had and Android device to run PPS on it, or could make some command-line macro to open those cases for me - that's another thing, but manually - no, it's not my kind of behaviour. TBH - i consider it a bad idea in general. IMO, the cases should not be shared / timed / hunted / stolen to not make such problems. I'd rather prefer if i could just accumulate cases from my friends during the day and open them all at once when i enter the game, say, 3-4 times a day.

For starters, quit using glasses on rooms with two correct answers. Hell, I didn't even use them on many of the 1 correct answer boards. The rate of trophy chances is about the same in the bonus area as compared to the regular floors. If you're going to be playing, you're going to be playing. There's nothing magical about the bonus area except for the fact that it has a SLIGHTLY lower stamina cost. You don't 'lose' anything by getting to the bonus area slower. And you don't win anything for getting to it faster. Save those glasses for chance times where you can put your slayer cards to work.
