Events & Rewards: How to Maximize Gains
During these event waves, stamina (AP) efficiency reaches its peak. Here are best practices for maximizing value:
- Prioritize Triple Reward Phases: The period from 2024-05-25 to 2024-06-01 offers the highest returns—save up AP and tickets if possible.
- Plan Sweeps: Use Sweep function liberally—rewards are boosted and no additional cost is required.
- Pinpoint Needs: Focus on the mode that advances your next upgrade milestone (e.g., Hard Missions for shards, Bounty for materials).
- Weekly Planning: Some players recommend mapping out which phases suit your account progression: main story clears during Normal/Hard week vs. focusing skill mats during Bounty.
Player Sentiment: Community Feedback
On the official subreddit, players stress the value of hoarding stamina and identifying "dead weeks" (where your primary farm target isn't boosted) to farm less vital resources or rest.
Teams & Synergies: Meta Considerations
While this campaign doesn’t alter the core meta, it changes resource flow:
- F2P Impact: Enhanced farming narrows the power gap—F2P and low-spend players can push more units to 3★ or above.
- Upcoming Content Prep: Veterans note this is prime time to stockpile for upcoming limited banners or challenging raids.
- Rerun Window: Some speculate these events coincide with major rerun banners, incentivizing both old and new players to engage.
- Unconfirmed — subject to change: Future reruns or meta shifts tied to campaign timing are not stated in official materials.

Should You Farm During May?
In a word: absolutely. For most accounts—whether chasing meta, preparing for a favorite unit, or simply staying caught up—these campaigns deliver top-tier efficiency. Consider focusing on modes where RNG isn’t as punishing, such as Bounty for materials, then targeting Hard Mission shards as needed. Careful use of AP items and sweep tickets can extend your progress into June.
