Introduction
- This is the optimized "Speedrun" walkthrough from the original run, which should be possible for all Masters including first-timers, as many Friend Supports will have Max Limit Broken CEs from the prior run.
- No gacha CEs are required for this guide apart from the free CE given at the start.
- Instead, this walkthrough relies completely on being able to borrow a Max Limit Broken (MLB) Spawn Bonus CE from your friends.
- Simply follow the CE recommendations in the guide, and everything should be fine.
- Full completion using this guide requires 2130 AP to 2190 AP, and a lot fewer total runs.
- To access all of Mecha Eli's Ascension Materials and copies, Masters must complete the Main Quest and at least 90 missions.
- Masters progress through the event by completing Missions that open up new Free Quests as they ascend their way across the humble abodes of Halloween.
- Masters are expected to use their currency to buy Spawn Bonus CEs of their own to help out with the clear speed (and later, better farming).
- Masters should be able to finish the event with natural AP if starting at the beginning of the event period.
Part 1A (Ch 1 - 6)
- Note: Masters who roll the gacha can access additional Spawn Bonus a bit earlier.
- Note: The first listed CE is always the main recommendation and typically has the highest bonus/Spawn Bonus benefit!
Tip: Above each step is a blue accordion/header, clicking on any of these will give additional information and some helpful context why we run certain quests.
W-Wait a second! Why are we here?
Because Meliran migrated to Gamepress, that's why.
That sellout!
Oh, shush! We still have a guide to make here!
Make me!
Um, while they're arguing... go run chapter 1.
