  • Farm Kira Kira Points Event Points to obtain Valentine's CEs from Servants! The full Event Point Reward Ladder can be found here.
    • Surprise Chocolate Surprise Chocolate: Obtained by gathering Kira Kira Points Points, allows Masters to receive a Valentine's CE from a random Servant. Valentine's CEs also boost Kira Kira Points drops by +10%.
    • Lock-On Chocolate Lock-On Chocolate: Obtained by gathering Kira Kira Points Points as well, although fewer are available in the Point Ladder. This item allows Masters to receive a Valentine's CE from their Servant of choice!
  • A full list of Valentine's CEs for this year is available here!
  • There are also a total of three Event Shop currencies (Nightly FanTemari of GatheringsPinwheel of Rendezvouz) to farm for this event.
  • The event's Main Quests (and subsequently, later Free Quests) are time-gated on a daily basis, following the below schedule:
Date Quests Available

General Tips

  • Purchase & Equip the Event Shop CE (Knit the Love) ASAP to increase Kira Kira Points drops, which help clear the Event Point Ladder!
  • Sei Shonagon Sei Shounagon has bonus damage (+100%) and bonus Bond Point Experience (+50%), so bringing her along can help speed up farming!
  • Equip Chocolate HeavenQueen's DreamMidnight Tension to boost Event Shop currency Nightly FanTemari of GatheringsPinwheel of Rendezvouz drops!
  • Be wary of MLBing Knit the Love the Event Shop CE too early. It is better to have non-MLB copies so the total possible bonus is higher, until 7 copies are reached (1x MLB + 2x Non-MLB = 120% bonus total)
    * 4x Knit the Love = Kira Kira Points +120% drops.
    * 1x MLB Knit the Love (requires 5 copies) = Kira Kira Points +60% drops.

Party Restriction: Mandatory Support NPC.
A single large Berserker enemy (218k HP). Note they have Demonic trait.
Drops 3 stacks bronze currency.
Obtain first Friend Chocolate! Use before running event Free Quests to give to Friend Supports - you'll gain 10x Mana Prisms, and your support gets 200 FP! Use them liberally; if unused, they are exchangeable for only 10k QP, and in most cases 10 Mana Prisms are more worthwhile.
Bonus CEs:

Free - Novice
(30 AP)
Run once. This node has the lowest drop rates, so it isn't the best farming choice.
1) Purchase the Event Shop CE Knitting Love ASAP and equip to maximize Point drops!
2) Remember to bring Valentine's CEs in extra CE slots to boost Point drops! For first-time Masters, redeem Surprise/Lock-On Chocolates from Event Point rewards to get Valentine's CEs.

Note End of Day 1! Masters should hold off on using AP Fruit for now, since the Free Quest nodes available are rather suboptimal. For Masters who really wish to get a head start, they can farm:
- Advanced -> Buy 2x Knitting Love with Fan of All-Nighters
- Intermediate -> Buy 1x Knitting Love with Temari of Gathering
- Novice -> Buy 1x Knitting Love with Pinwheel of Encounters
Even so, it isn't highly recommended to farm any quest other than Advanced due to lower drop rates, however, especially since the best Bronze, Silver, and Gold nodes will open on ~Day 3, 4, and 5 respectively.

St 3
(5 AP)
Three waves, with the first two being mixes of Archer and Sabers (1st wave ~8k HP; 2nd wave 11-12k HP); the third is a boss wave with a Rider Servant (41k HP) and a Saber and Archer (both 15k HP). At the start of the 3rd wave, the boss applies Taunt and Charm Immune to all allies except self. During this 3rd wave, an effect buffs all enemies' ATK whenever a Knight enemy is defeated.

Note End of Day 2! Masters can continue farming Advanced difficulty. If Masters really want to burn some AP at this point, the suggested farming order:
- Advanced -> Buy 2x Knitting Love with Fan of All-Nighters
- Expert -> Buy 1x Knitting Love with Temari of Gathering & 1x Knitting Love with Pinwheel of Encounters
If you don't get to buying the Bronze/Silver currency shop CEs, don't worry since the best Bronze & Silver nodes will open on the next day and the day after, which are a better use of AP.

A single wave with a large break bar Archer with 3 HP bars (86k, 97k, 118k HP). The boss inflicts an unremovable debuff on the frontline that drains 5% NP Gauge every turn, and has a passive that Curses when normal attacking.
On 1st break, the boss will inflict a larger Curse and decrease HP Recovery by 100% for 3 turns (healing becomes ineffective).
On 2nd break, the boss decreases Max HP for the frontline by 3,000 and inflicts a Curse Damage +200% debuff.
A helpful field effect every turn will increase the party's NP Gauge by 10% (net 5% with the boss's debuff) and grant 20 Stars.

Challenge
(5 AP)
A challenging encounter will unlock at this point! Two Servants, an Archer with 3 HP bars (324k, 401k, 609k HP) and a Caster with 2 HP bars (370k, 406k HP).
The Archer starts with a special buff that can buff your party if they are hit by their NP (aka not Evading/Invincible), although surviving the NP can be difficult. The Caster will apply NP Seal immunity to all allies and start with a max NP gauge, although their NP is more supportive in nature.
On the Archer's 1st break: Buff Crit Rate for all allies;
On Archer's 2nd break: Clear debuffs and increase NP Gauge by 1 for all allies.
On Caster's break: Buffs the Archer with 1 turn of Ignore DEF, Invincible, and MAX NP Gauge.
The Caster has a few special skills that can grant a 2-time, 3-turn Evade, drain Crit Stars, and remove buffs.

Event Completed! Congratulations, all Main Quests have been completed! At this point, all Free Quests are available, so Masters may farm freely. Most of the limited items are in the Event Point Ladder, so if in a hurry, farming the last Free Quest is fine. Otherwise, it is best to first farm Event Shop currencies until the desired items are purchased, before switching to dedicated Point farming. Check out the Quick Farming Guide for drop rate info and farming tips!

Should I use Apples?

  • No, if only a point ladder clear is desired (to obtain Valentine's CEs); for event shop clears, Maybe.
  • Natural Regen AP will be approximately 3980 AP throughout the event.
  • Clearing each quest at least once costs 395 AP.
  • To clear the Event Point ladder while ignoring the Event Shop, about 2475 AP is required.
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, EXP, or 3* Fous), this will take approximately 4195 AP. This includes clearing the Point Ladder, which likely requires a few runs of the final Free Quest to clean up points.
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, but with Fous and EXP) and Event Point Rewards, this will take approximately 4635 AP.
  • For a full Event Shop clear including monuments and Event Point rewards, this total reaches 5635 AP to clear all pieces and monuments. In this case usually by the time the Event Shop is cleared, the Event Point Ladder will also be cleared (unless you have a high number of event Gacha CEs, in which you can run the final Free Quest difficulty for point cleanup).
  • 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 Friend Point Gacha luck", AP reduced if more bonus available):
    • Up to +1 Nightly Fan: From Non-MLB Friend Support Chocolate Heaven.
    • Up to +1 Temari of Gatherings: From Non-MLB Friend Support Queen's Dream.
    • Up to +2 Pinwheel of Rendezvouz: From quest reward copy of Midnight Tension and a Non-MLB Friend Support Midnight Tension.
    • Up to +120%-180% Kira Kira Points: From buying & equipping ASAP 4x shop Knit the Love (Avoid MLB unless 8+ copies from drops) and a Non-MLB or MLB Friend Support Knit the Love
