How many echelons should we use for the ranking map? I have eight (four open, four logistics) to use, but could always get some more if that's what it takes.

You want to throw all the echelons you can at it. All 10 is ideal but I'm pretty confident you can get away with less if you're just aiming for the fairy or the scope. I'm also sure someone will upload a sample budget run for you to follow.

From the ranking echelon recommendations, about half will be nighttime AR+SMG+HG teams, a few RF+HG teams for Paradeus enemies, and a special echelon or two for the bosses. You'll have to experiment on how to cut that down to fewer echelon slots and find what works for you.

I'll post the ranking prep guides again:

Ceia's guides for the event are being uploaded onto YT right now --

Shattered Connexion guides will be uploaded progressively when the maintenance starts.
I did mention 1 SL10 Taunt Fairy to be compulsory for a full clear, even at Normal difficulty. Else you'll have trouble with taking out a certain railgun on a train at Chapter 5 of the event.
Good luck, everyone~

The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort. If imitators liked hard work, they wouldn't be imitators.
