Introduction
Trying to report on the biggest scoops in Gensokyo and trying to be original about it must require some hard training! Perhaps it's best to brainstorm some new ideas about the Gensokyo residents...by continously beating them to a pulp! Fortunately, that option provides a lot of event points, so let's go with that.
Only Lunatic difficulty is considered here, as it is the difficultly that ensures the most amount of points as well as some Gold materials. One-wave stages are the main stages recommended here since they are the quickest and most efficient stages to repeatedly farm. All of the one-waves will be listed, even if they are not recommended to farm, which will be explained further on.
Some additional notes for farming: The goal is to minimize the amount of Spirit Points you are spending to farm. This can range from using less Friends, using Friends with no Awakenings, etc. Less Spirit Points spent means more stage grinding and even more Spirit Point gain when collected from the Event! However, one exception to this is if you want to grind Friend EXP to power up a Friend, which you can do by having that Friend stay in the back while you can farm. That way, you can kill two birds with one stone!
Rival Newspapers Cooperate? (All)
Enemy | HP | Weak To | Resists | Barriers | Spell Gauge | Skills |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aya Shameimaru | 102450 | Sun | Wood, Earth, Star | 5 | 2 | None |
Hatate Himekaidou | 102450 | Sun | Fire, Water, Metal | 5 | 2 | None |
Drops: Attack and Defense Books, Plum and Chrysanthemum Tiles, Wind and Cloud Scrolls
The title of this stage really says it all; Aya and Hatate work together in this one-wave, 2-target stage. This makes them have slightly less HP separately when compared to a solo-target one-wave, so this stage might be best for those who can target the singular elemental weakness...
Oh, right. For whatever reason, all foes in this event are only weak to 1 element for each stage, this one being Sun. Without the appropriate element, this can make the stage slightly harder to clear, especially with the elemental resistance coverage that multiple foes can have, Still, with the right Friend, the stage can certainly be farmed fairly well.

Alice Margatroid | 102450 | Earth | Fire, Wood, Star | 5 | 2 | None |
Drops: Attack and Support Books, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo Tiles, Dragon and Tiger Scrolls
Almost the exact same stage as before, down to the same HP totals! The only main difference? The weakness flavor of the day is Earth!
Carless Barrier Management?! (No)

Reimu Hakurei | 115115 x2 | Sun | Moon, Earth, Star | 5 | 2 | None |
Drops: Attack and Defense Books, Plum and Chrysanthemum Tiles, Wind and Cloud Scrolls
Reimu here actually doesn't have much more HP compared to the previous stages, especially considering she is a solo-target one-wave. Sadly, that is because this is a stage with HP Gauges, meaning it isn't exactly the fastest to clear for a farming strategy. Her Gauge Break even lowers your team's offense, if she wasn't annoying enough.
Machinaton Rumors Are True?! (All)
Enemy | HP | Weak To | Resists | Barriers | Spell Gauge | Skills |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ran Yakumo | 81150 | Moon | Sun, Fire, Water | 5 | 2 | |
Yukari Yakumo | 85920 | Moon | Sun, Metal, Earth | 5 | 2 | |
Chen | 71600 | Moon | Fire, Wood, Star | 5 | 2 |
Drops: Defense and Support Books, Orchid and Bamboo Tiles, Earth and Serpent Scrolls
While everyone here has different HP values, they are all lower than previous one-waves due to having 3 foes instead of 2! This makes this a much easier stage to farm, especially if you can target their Moon weakness.
Assassins! Anti-Tengu Menace! (No)

Satono Nishida | 61870 x2 | Sun | Water, Earth, Star | 5 | 2 | None |
Mai Teireida | 61870 x2 | Sun | Fire, Wood, Metal | 5 | 2 | None |
Drops: Attack and Defense Books, Plum and Chrysanthemum Tiles, Earth and Wind Scrolls
This is another stage with HP Gauges, making it unoptimal to far quickly. At least they bind Grazes and Spread Shots, which doesn't extremely hurt a Friends' damage potential.

Drops: Defense and Support Books, Plum and Orchid Tiles, Heaven and Dragon Scrolls
Outside of the higher HP pool due to being one of the last stages, this is your average 2-target one-wave stage. Can be good to farm if you possess a Friend with the Water elements.
