Guards took about a week and a half to start...
Let's hope for Monday.
Either that, or the following one; but it will start this month.

Should I save a lot of pero for this event or is it not going to be used as much. I have a method when teasing others where I hold the mouse in one spot to click all the buttons and then move it to the far right and pick one of their friends, rinse and repeat. I used a lot of pero trying to get those limited cards from last event and have 36k~ left. Also I'm focusing my missions on the ones that gives money to buy gacha which I find is better than buying more N wilds from the store because you have a decent chance at getting SRs and Rs leveled up as well.

You won't need any pero for this event, outside of buying dozens of N-Gacha Tickets to speed up leveling up your cards.

JP event periods seem to suggest that Colisseum will run from next Monday (20th) to first Sunday of August (2nd), and then the next Guards event will be up around Monday 10th.
If it's so, then you have less than 30 days to rebuild the recommended 500k pero for Guards

Ah, thank you for your assistance! I've been busy lately with work and haven't really had time to do much research on my own.
Also just curious as to what others are going to be building, seeing as a lot of the higher ranked people will probably set up the meta for cards, but as they are going to be building trap decks towards what is popular, what are the majority of people going to pick? Obviously it's a more complex version of rock paper scissors but I'm wondering what you guys plan to do.

This event actually spawns a couple or two of player tiers. And every one of those will probably have a different meta.
The lowest tier will prolly have a lot of Moe5 or Sexy5 decks, as they're the fastest and flashiest decks to build.
Then you'll have a middle low tier where you'll be able to fight pretty well without any SR in your deck.
The top tier or two will be a very hard place to be, with decks of 3 to 5 maxlvl SRs, where every player will have their own strategy, and a lot of trap-decking will be in play.

The top players from Guards will dominate there, between the WC prizes and the P2P event slayers: 3 of the top SED SRs were the Guards E-Gacha SRs (2x Sexy, 1x Babe).
That could mean a good 3xMoe deck could make a good opponent; but I don't think it'll be that simple really.

In my case, I hope I can get enough Rs and SRs max leveled to keep a rotating defense. I'm online almost 24/7, so I can react pretty well to failed defenses (both counterattacking, and changing my deck to avoid repetitive attacks)

Personally, I expect to see a lot of trap decks out there. Also I think that meta game will (at some point) turns toward counter-picking anything the top-rank players choose.

Well, of course that tactics will change depending on each player's availability. Players with long AFK times will likely stick to trap decks or something like that, while more active players (with strong enough cards) will likely stick to offensive decks to get better results from their on-line times, only switching to traps when going AFK.

That's my guess based on what I've read so far.

I think the same, because it's the first event of this type you'll see more random deck than any latter event of this type.
It's also due to the fact that not all peoples can get 5 SR (or R) to level max (or effective levels).


Personally I've choose the Moe deck (4 Moe + 1 Sexy) because the last event gave me 60 lvls for my Runa Kamiwano.
Her with both Kasumi and Hiyori Katagiri (who are some of the best Moe) give me a pretty good start.
I've choose to use a Sexy in attack because I have Chikusa Uno level 98 who is the best Sexy (for now). With that she can beat all the other Sexys and all the Babes, she is not good with Moe but the one I'll attack will be a Sexy deck or his counter version (5 Sexy or 3 Sexy and 2 Babe).
My last card will be a Moe in offense (because they don't need to be high level to be effective), and a Sexy in defence (because the one who will attack me will be, most of the time, a Babe deck).

The reason that you'll win a lot more in attack than in defence is because you can choose your target (of course) but also because you can reroll the assist card you've got from your friends. Most of the randomness of the fight will be due to this 2 helps card (the one you get from your friends and the one your adversary get from his).

All of this is cool, but it's all theoretical. When the event will be out we will know to what extent the other players have build decks and what is the most efficient.
For me, I play for fun so if my deck is efficient it's all cool and nice, but if it's not perfect, I don't mind. (well, if it's really really poor I'll mind it ).
