Introduction

  • The Battle in New York 2024 event returns after a long hiatus, bringing back the highly challenging Exhibition Quests from previous years! This event also features an Event Shop and an Unlimited Lottery! This is a great opportunity to farm for Skill Gems/QP/Mana Prisms/Friend Points/EXP as well as Ascension Materials: Arrowhead of MaliceGhost LanternMystic GunpowderProof of HeroEvil Bone!
  • There are a total of 4 sets of Exhibition Quests, each bringing their own challenges and special rulesets! Details for Exhibition Quests can be found here.
  • Since Exhibition Quests often have high-HP enemies, consider getting all copies of the Event Damage CE Check Ready from the Lottery's first 5 boxes before attempting them.
  • This event is primarily time gated, with Main Quests and Free Quests unlocking in waves, totalling 3 waves of quests. Note Free Quests from a prior wave will disappear when a new wave begins, so clear all quests before this happens for the clear reward!
  • There are three event currencies (Meteor BurgerGalaxy DogSpace Fries), whose rates are boosted by event gacha CEs (Galaxy KeraunosDoc KykeonSecret Company ASSASSIN).
  • There is also a lottery currency (KoH Lottery Ticket 2024), whose rates are boosted by event shop CE, which can also be obtained at a low rate from Event Free Quests (Cosmo Chaldea High School).
  • There are no event bonus Servants for this event.
  • The Main Quest / Free Quest wave schedule is below:

Walkthrough TL;DR

The below is a summary of the general flow of the event. Generally, Main Quests and Free Quests are time gated and unlock on a wave-by-wave basis, with a total of 3 waves. Exhibition quests will also unlock in tandem. The detailed walkthrough provides information about CE suggestions, drops, enemy encounters and gimmicks for each quest.

The overall flow is Main Quests > Message Quests > Free Quests to farm shop currency > repeat, with time gates between individual Main Quest chapters.

Walkthrough Waves 1 - 3:

1) Complete Main Quests available each wave.

2) Clear Free Quests available. Extra AP can be spent on the last Free Quest; the last Free Quest offers the best rates in every wave.

3) Clear Exhibition Quests available. If having difficulty, consider waiting until Damage Bonus CE (from the Lottery Box) are available.

4) Open Lottery boxes! This event's lottery is unlimited, making it one of the best, most AP-efficient times to farm for QP/Mana Prisms/Friend Points/Skill Gems/EXP, and a few select Ascension Materials!

Should I Use Apples?

  • Yes, this event features an unlimited lottery, which is one of the best times to spend AP fruit due to high returns for Skill Gems/QP/Mana Prisms/Friend Points/EXP and several Ascension Materials.
  • Natural Regen AP will be approximately 3970 AP throughout the event.
  • Clearing the full Main Quest line and clearing each quest at least once requires 620 AP.

  • The amount of AP required can be reduced with more copies of Event CEs. Additional copies of 4* or 5* CEs must be obtained in the gacha, while 3* CEs can be obtained in the Friend Point Gacha (at a low rate).
  • Assumptions for the above AP costs (uses "first timer worst case scenario with no FP Gacha luck", AP reduced if more bonus available):
