Spent a few hours doing training ground before event started. It cost me:

Lv 66: Imps x 4 (1 each element)
Lv 68: Metal Mimic x 2
Lv 70: 4 gems, 1 Jewel key

Hey Wage don't forget to take advantage of the increased honor right now. You will get a ton of crystals from SHS on March 7th.

If you have energy to burn before bed or going out you can just enter/exit quests rapidly. You don't need to finish them to get the honor points from friends. They reset at 6 CST everyday I believe.

Just be careful because your friends disappear for 3 hours. If you do all 50 friends at once don't expect to do anything hard as you won't have any friends for awhile.

Seriously, DO TRAINING GROUND. Being able to fill your squad up with 6*'s is way more important than running metal parade a few extra times right now. That's especially true with SHS coming up, since you can use all the honor you get from running this all day to load up on crystals (plus you need evo mats anyway).

I'm fucking lvl 169 and I'm running it all day so I can fit more 7* units in when we get them. It's incredibly rare for a 1/2 energy event on training ground to occur. It's also the only reason my JP account is lvl 136. If I can get up to lvl 200, I'll be ecstatic.

This double xp half cost Vortex is exactly what I needed. Even f2p I've gotten some solid units (Zergel, Luka, Marudieth, Ultor, Vael over the past few weeks) that I haven't even tried them because I made the mistake of 6*ing them and only having sufficient cost for 3 6* (Rowgen, Marudieth and the very cheap (22 cost?) Michelle.) I don't know how to replace an Uda lead - his leader seems indispensable (although I'll concede I haven't looked at all into what a solid team needs - just been winging it).

It sucks that I don't have any of the meta units, but what sucks more is not being able to fill my squad with the best of what I DO have. I didn't know about the xp Vortex until a couple hours ago, but I'll be autoing it for the rest of the night. Already gotten +6 cost from 90 and while I doubt I'll be able to hit 100 before it ends, I'm already enjoying the game waaaaay the hell more because I'll soon be able to put 4 6* units into my squad.

you guys are not missing out on much at the moment. none of the first four missions allow you to clear them no matter how many times you beat the boss.

Yea, i'm not getting the raid.. kill the boss like 5 times and nothing, just a few items here and there.... i was curious if that was the boss or just a big guy in the way of the boss....
so for now, i just keep killing it over and over and over.... very odd.

I think I am finally starting to realize how much of a grind is ahead of me. 31 runs through Box of Desires 1 last night for 5 metal mimics. Still need 3 more for 6 star evolution on my main summons. I'll need several more metal parades to get them the xp required for evolution. I'll need to farm some miracle totems. Then I'll need to run the xp dungeon until my eyes bleed again next Monday to get enough capacity to actually use the six star units. Then I have to farm hundreds of feeder units per 6 star to start working on BB leveling. Then SBB leveling.

My brain hurts just thinking about all of it...

It goes faster than you think, and the metal mimics are best if done through evolution (my opinion). Metal Ghost + Metal King + Metal God + Bat Mimic = Metal Mimic. The hardest part will be grinding the rank to get all of the 6* in. Honestly, work on your main team for grinding (as that's what you'll do the most of). My team is relatively unchanged with a few "swap outs" for weak elements (Elza lead, Darvanshel, Zelnite, Maxwell, Ulkina, and I'll swap out whoever is weak to someone who is strong for elemental vulnerability). Once you have team cost for All 6*, you will have started filling in other team members/slots for utility positions, trials, GCC, etc.

Break it into segments:
1) get team cost to use your current team plus your target at 6*
2) get all your 5* to max level
3) get all the evo materials for your 6*
4) evolve your 6*

then repeat it for each unit.

As you are leveling, feed off the crappy units to raise your BB/SBB.
Remember, it halves when they evolve (rounded down), so only max 6* or 5* if all of your 6* are max SBB. As well, it's [almost] ALWAYS cheaper to level a max-level's BB/SBB, so wait until then if gold is an issue (it quickly won't be).

Is there a good spot to farm metal mimic evo parts? I've been using my metal parade keys for that.

i usually save any metal gods from gifts to evo metal mimics. well, maybe just save 3 or so at a time. the ghosts and kings are easy to get from metal parade.

I've literally never crafted a metal mimic. Just farm lvl 1 of the Wednesday dungeon.
Going to echo that. It is not worth evolving the metal mimics. ESPECIALLY with half energy right now 30 runs of level 1 is only 90 energy. And that sounds like on the bad side of RNG. Just did 12 and got 3.
