On break, they remove offensive buffs from the party and gain 2k HP regen per turn.

Drops 3 stacks bronze currency.

Partner Points are a special mechanic that allows frequently used Servants during this event to gain bonuses including more Damage and increased Bond EXP gain! Servants placed further left in the lineup will gain more Partner Points. Using a Servant more frequently will allow that Servant to become more effective! This applies to all Main, Free, and Tea Break quests.

Tea Break 1
(5 AP)
Note that since Tea Break quests drop a large number of Event Points, so these are better postponed until all Event Shop CE copies are purchased! This step is listed here because it unlocks at this time, but does not have to be done immediately since these are 1-time only and remain available until the end of the event. It's best to wait for more CE copies to maximize point drops. Masters can opt to farm the day 1 Free Quests to purchase all Shop CEs, although it is not as AP efficient to do so at this time.

A single wave with 9 total Berserkers (9-25k HP).
All enemies have a minor ATK buff.

Should I Use Apples?

  • Maybe, if Masters wish to collect and watch all Valentine's cutscenes with all their Servants and need more points to do so. No, if just clearing the event for the Holy Grail.
  • 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 425 AP.
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, EXP, or 3* Fous), this will take approximately 2860 AP. At least 5 lottery boxes should clear as well.
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, with EXP and 3* Fous), this will take approximately 3820 AP.
  • For a full Event Shop clear including monuments + Full Event Point Ladder, this total reaches 4420 AP to clear everything. The Ladder usually will clear last if only 4 Event Shop CE copies are available and at least 1 drop bonus CE is available from Friend Supports.
  • 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 Spicy Chocolate: Non-MLB Friend Support Valentine Witches.
    • Up to +1 Bitter Powder: Non-MLB Friend Support Melty Love.
    • Up to +2 Cacao Chips: Quest Reward Copy of Hot Chocolate + Non-MLB Friend Support Hot Chocolate.
    • Up to +120% Bodyguard Points: 4x Event Shop Copies of Thank You For Your Hard Work!.
  • Note these estimates are somewhat more rough since drop rate data for 0% Spawn Rate has low sample number.
