MAR 10 – MAR 17 Iori (Swimsuit) Strong DPS • Main Priority

High-impact explosive damage. Your primary goal for this season's recruitment.

MAR 10 – MAR 17 Hina (Swimsuit) Solid All-Around DPS

A must-have for mid-to-endgame players. Excellent for large-scale battles.

APR 28 – MAY 12 Mari (Pop Idol) Top-Tier Healer

Still critical for survival, but prioritize Fest units first if funds are low.

APR 28 – MAY 12 Sakurako (Pop Idol) Solid Support

Only pull if you have leftover Pyroxenes after the Hoshino/Shiroko spark.

FESTIVAL BANNER JUN 23 – JUN 30 Hoshino (Armed) Fest Tank / Buffer • MUST PULL

Game-breaking support capabilities. Increases effectiveness of all Red/Explosive allies. Do not skip.

FESTIVAL BANNER JUN 23 – JUN 30 Shiroko Terror Fest DPS • Maximum Priority

Massive mystic damage output. Since she is on a Fest banner, you have a 6% rate for 3★ students here.

Daily / Weekly Grind

Daily missions – do all dailies, especially ones giving pyroxene

Sweep farming missions – pick the highest stage u can reliably auto-clear for max rewards.

Weekly raids/club events – participate to get extra pyroxene

Arena/Tactical Challenge – collect pyroxene

from ladders (Rank 700-900).

Event & Shop Optimization

from login milestones.

Festival/event shops – exchange event currencies for pyroxene

first.

Always redeem event rewards to prevent missing chunks before expiry.

Focus & Efficiency

Optimization – Focus on 1–2 hard, pyroxene

-giving missions at a time for max efficiency.

Discipline – Save for Swimsuit Iori & Hina first, then Idol Mari & Sakurako.

~~~~ ANNIVERSARY PROTOCOL (updated section as of ~1/22/2026) ~~~~

Remember to not spend any pyroxene whatsoever.

The Hoshino/Shiroko banners feature Double 3★ Rates (6%). This is the best time in the entire year to pull.

Your goal is 24,000

(for 1 Spark) minimum, ideally 48,000

to guarantee both.

Standard Operations

Skip Swimsuit Iori/Hina if necessary to secure the Fest units.

Clear all new Main Story chapters (Vol F / Vol 5) for one-time clear rewards.

Push Momotalks aggressively for emergency funds.

🎁 Gift & Affection Policy

When you have opportunities to get gifts without spending pyroxenes , prioritize students with no affection rank yet. Using them in low-level battles allows you to access their Momotalk stories, which are a direct source of "hidden" pyroxene to help you reach your Spark goal.
