If you want to tier, you have to really bank in your daiya. For the Clockwork Hearts event, I used about 300 daiya (not including gacha pulls) to rank for top 10k or T5. I ended up missing it by about 100 ranks because I fell asleep too early… (  •́︿•̀  ) Based on other people’s recounts from the A3 Discord, T2/T1 people spend up to 800 daiya, some as many as over 1000. The more popular the boy, the more of a bloodbath ranking is, and thus more daiya you have to spend. I got Tsuzuru about 4 days before the event ended.

If you just want the single SSR, you still need to spend some daiya. For Knights of Round IV, I spent around 200 (not including gacha pulls). I find that it’s a good indicator on if you’re going to get the SSR by points or not by tiering for the SR. For Knights of Round IV, I went for top 30k or T7. I ended up getting Itaru on the very last day (・∀・) Talk about clutch…

Here’s some various tips that I picked up from Twitter, Discord, and just playing.

On Ranking:

The first two days and the last two days of the event are the worst. The first two days, ranks change really fast, so you can gain ranks really fast, but also lose them really fast. The last two days, particularly the last day, you often lose ranks faster than you gain because everyone is trying to rush the event.

Don’t be disheartened if you lost your rank really fast! You can gain it back. I find that I often drop 7k ranks overnight, but gain it back within an hour or two of grinding.

Do allow yourself a pocket of rank drop though, in case of emergencies and also sleep. (Sleep is very important!!)

There’s a strange calm the half-hour right before the event ends… Maybe it’s just the acceptance of dea—

Use SP on every type of performance (i.e. matinee [1:30:00]) at least once, then exclusively do Final (00:20:00) and Additional (00:15:00).

The first time you complete a performance will give you 5 daiya.

Beyond that, it’s only worth it to do Finals and Additionals because they give the most points for your SP, especially when you fully level them up.

If you want to rush the event (i.e. gain a lot of points quickly), doSoirees (00:30:00) too. I find that I only do this on the last two days of the event, where ranks start moving a lot faster

It helps to turn on push notifications for when your SP regenerates! The only qualm I have about this is when it goes off in the middle of the night…

Having the gacha R, SR, and SSR really helps. It’s okay if you can’t get them in gacha, but they help save a lot of SP.

It’s good to have a friend-list with active players because that means that you will have at least some that have the cards up for you to use! Also, don’t be afraid to refresh your support list a couple times so the strongest card shows up. I find that sometimes, it helps me cut down an entire SP which saves up in the long run!

To refresh your support list, select a support first. Then, tap your support icon that shows up next to your team and press the grey button on the lower right that says 更新. There is a cool down time of a few seconds, so you just have to be patient.

If you obtain one of the gacha cards, level them up as soon as possible. It also really helps to level up their skill (feed them R and up cards) and max their training (the fire symbol).

Kameman and Boxed Kamemanrefills (the pink birds) will be your new best friend. I use up the Boxed Kameman first (thank you Liber for the update for SP overflow) then the single Kameman.

Always keep in mind the timer of your SP recharge. Whenever your SP is max or overflows, the timer resets. If you only have 5 minutes for your next SP recharge, it’s best to wait that 5 minutes rather than using your Kameman, especially if it fills up or overflows your SP.

Please please please be aware of when the event ends, date and time wise. Don’t make the same mistake I did!

On Daiya Getting and Saving:

Whenever you clear a story, whether it be main story, card story, or event story, don’t clear it right away. This will act as a backup reserve for your daiya! Only clear them when you’re in a daiya crunch and really need that last couple.

A daiya a day keeps the pain away… The daily login daiya as well as the daiya you get from clearing the daily missions do build up over time.

Only pull when you really want to pull, meaning it’s a gacha that will help you in the event or it’s your best boy. Otherwise, save up, no matter how tempting it is!
