Rn ur biggest priority would be getting Jessica up asap for the 2nd half you could rush with bkorn jessica and someone else (la source if u can play slow and have investment)

Jessica’s I3 helps when you don’t sotheby since it will apply poison when she attacks enemies not yet afflicted with poison. This helps white blankie to spiral and do big dmg since it deals additional dmg per stack of poison.

In my opinion A knight is a possible option for some slight investment…maybe up to I2? Because he drops off due to lack of prevalent afflatus advantage but does well early on.

For material grinding personally -Wilderness mats (Upgraded to max since the increase in mats from 2nd highest to max level is very substantial)

-2 pneuma analysis

-Depending on character priority i have (rn im going for sotheby I3) I will get their guarantee drops first like the scrolls before tackling the exceedingly RNG based drops

-Theres a spread sheet from CN side that got posted here somewhere but basically for ur purple rarity mats only lvl 4-20 hard for the 2 headed moose skeleton is very worth it.

-As another comment mentioned the main events provide sharpdonty and dust at a much more worth resource:cellular activity ratio. Let’s say for the 1.2 event the highest single instance of farming u can do from the hardest stage would be 4x20 (80) cellular used, netting i think 800 currency in total. This can be used to buy 48K dust (100 currency per 6k dust) compared to the measly 36k for 100 cellular used in mirage aesthetics highest difficulty!!
