Dark Nurse of News (Rerun) Event Guide

Rumors are flying around that the nefarious Yukari Yakumo is planning something big for Gensokyo, but no one seems to want to find out what it is! This leaves the heroic Aya Shameimaru and Hatate Himekaidou, to prove their worth as Gensokyo reporters and get to the bottom of the case! They won't be deterred by any threat or youkai until they exposed Yukari's schemes! Oh, and Momiji Inubashiri is also here...probably to make sure they don't ruin everyone's lives today.

For LostWord events, completing stages and missions rewards you with Event Points. These Event Points are used in a number of ways, for a ton of Coins, Scrolls, Tiles, and even Friend Rituals! This guide will teach you the ways in which you can earn and spend Event Points, to earn all of those amazing rewards.

How to get Event Points

The most straightforward way to earn Event Points is simply by completing stages. Each stage you complete will reward you with a number of points - the first time you complete certain stages for a day (usually the first or last of a day's section), you will gain 7x that amount, as signified by a UI element on stage selection. The stages that have bonuses are as follows:

• CASE 01
• CASE 04
• Team Eirin Deploys
• Seiga's Secret Hideout

Additionally, you have both one time missions and daily missions. None of it is very complicated - just things like clearing the stages once, clearing any stage multiple times a day, or performing daily Prayers. The daily missions in particular are a wonderful source of points! For additional point gains, check out the latest guide to one-wave event stages! For those curious about the other stages, there is an Event Table linked below.

In total, you will need 864,200 points to fully clear out both the Event Shop and the Lottery, as detailed below. Note this value does not include the stacks of Coins for 1000 each, which are just there as extras if you go super hard. You'll need more than 2 million Event Points to clear those out.

The first form of rewards come in rewards for hitting a total number of Event Points earned over the duration of the event, accessed from the Events icon on the home screen. These rewards are completely free, and only care about total points earned - you can freely spend your Event Points, and it will not affect your progress towards the next milestone at all. These scale up to 500,000, but you only need a total of 250,000 points to get the Friend Ritual (150k) and the Paper Doll (250k); rewards come much slower after that point, so only grind as much as you feel comfortable with after that point! Also remember that you need 864,200 points to fully clear out the Event Points Shop and the Lottery, but don't feel like you NEED to get that many, since a lot of that is tied up in Coins and Spirit P which you may or may not need.

The shop is the first of two ways to spend your Event Points, accessed through either the icon on the home screen or Sanae’s shop. The event starts out with plenty of rewards, and then more are added during the second half of the event. This should be the first place you spend your Event Points, if you’re not aiming to obtain every reward. You will need 714,200 points in total to clear out the shop, without factoring in the stacks of Coin that cost 1000 each - those are just for people going really, really hard. Incidentally if you do want to finish out the shop, that'll run you over 2 million Event Points total. So, maybe don't try to do that.

If you don’t intend to fully clear out the shop, your priorities should roughly be as follows:

Friend Ritual ★★★★★ These handy items give you a random unit from a predetermined pool. A wonderful chance to gain additional units or uncap ones you already own!

Paper Doll ★★★★★ As the universal Limit Break item, this should be an absolute priority. Since this item isn’t added to the shop until the second half of the event, make sure to save 20,000 points for when it’s added.

Spirit P -  Varies How important additional Spirit P is depends on your situation. If you’re outpacing your Spirit P supply, make sure to buy these as you need them! Otherwise, if you find yourself constantly capping out on Spirit P, this isn’t very important.

Skill Books (Gold) ★★★★☆ These are rather difficult to come by normally - make sure to pick some up to upgrade your units with! They’re pretty cheap.

Medicine ★★★★☆ These items are replacement for tiles for upgrading story cards. All variants of them only cost 400 event points, meaning they are rather worth purchasing, especially if you find yourself low on that specific type of tile.

Coins ★★★★☆ You need a bunch of these for just about everything. Good thing the event gives you a ton in total.

Story Card Ritual ★★★☆☆ There’s a chance of getting a pretty good Story Card from this and, at worst, it’s at least 3 Tokens. 

Event Story Cards ★★★☆☆ Both of the cards here are nothing to really care about, being very underwhelming stat sticks and bullet damage buffs that you can find better alternatives for elsewhere.

Mirrors of Rebirth ★★★☆☆ Investing in these is a little difficult. You get 1 for each 200 points, with a maximum of 400 mirrors, so they are rather expensive. However, this is the perfect way to collect mirrors without waiting on their Rebirth stages, something even more relevant nowadays due to Fantasy Rebirth 2.0. Overall they're definitely more useful than the silver and bronze books, even more if you need the mirrors of the specific character.

Skill Books (Silver) ★★☆☆☆ Whilst cheap, these aren’t particularly uncommon or in very high demand - they can wait.

Skill Books (Bronze) ★☆☆☆☆ Cheap, but this should be the absolute last place you spend your Event P on.

The shop is split into 2 parts due to the event's normal length having the shop rewards staggered out between the usual 2 week runtime. For the current lite mode rerun, just refer to both halves as released all at once.

Event Story Cards [Numbers in brackets are buffs at Max Limit Break or stat sticks at Max Enhance]

4*: Test of Courage Duo

• Ofuda Bullet Power 15% [25%] UP (1T)
• Laser Bullet Power 15% [25%] UP (1T)
• Agility +15 [+65]
• Yang DEF +15 [+45]

5*: Fanged Prank Photo

• Sharp Bullet Power 20% [30%] UP (1T)
• Target's CRIT Evasion 1 [2] level(s) DOWN (2T)
• Reduces DMG taken from undead  by 20% (3T)
• HP +105 [+255]
• Yin DEF +29 [+99]

This is the other place to spend your Event Points, and where you should turn to when you run out of places to spend them on in the Shop. You can spend 50 Event Points to draw from a Lottery box, which consists of 375 predetermined items per box. These are a mix of Coins, Spirit P, Scrolls, and Tiles. Once you obtain all of the special prizes from a Lottery box, you can reset it and move onto the next box, though it’s recommended that you try to fully clear them out if possible. There are a total of 8 boxes per event, which means you will need 150,000 points to clear them out.

The "Special Prizes" are marked in red below!

The final form of rewards from events, these rarer points (thus the name) are randomly obtained as bonus drops from Event Stages, as well as 12 from the tasks for this event. Also like Event Points, you can access the Rare Points shop through the icon on the home screen or Sanae’s shop. However, they share no other relationship - Rare Points are earned independently of Event Points, and are spent on different things.

If you don’t intend to fully clear out the Rare Point shop, your priorities should be as follows:

Music CDs ★★★★★ This is your only chance to obtain these, as the CDs sold are different every event, and are only obtained from events. If you miss a CD, it may be a long time before it shows up again. Do be warned 3 of these CDs will not show up until the second half of the event, so save 24 Rare Points for them. Additionally, there is not much desire to buy a CD you already own, as it will only provide you with 1500 extra coins, a rather small amount.

Fortune Dust ★★★★★ If you're looking to pick up some extra Divine Paper Dolls or Rings of Fate, this is a good chance to pick up some extra Fortune Dust! 

Skill Book X ★★★★☆ These skill books give a ton of training points, and take 12 hours, perfect for overnight skill training. Do be warned you can’t use these for promoting units - they only serve to train skills.

Gold scrolls/tiles ★★★☆☆ Always nice to have more gold mats, but not your first priority.

Coins ★☆☆☆☆ Coins are nice to have but 50 coins per Rare Point isn’t a great trade compared to the other items. Save these for dumping your Rare Points at the very end of the event, and remember that additional X Skill Books and gold mats will be added at the second half of the event!

The shop is split into 2 parts due to the event's normal length having the shop rewards staggered out between the usual 2 week runtime. For the current lite mode rerun, just refer to both halves as released all at once.

During each event, certain specially marked costumes will grant a bonus spawn rate to Rare Points and a bonus to Event Points earned from stages. These bonuses are the same for every costume: each will provide a x1.2 bonus rate to Rare Points and x1.1 drop rate to normal points. You only need to own the costume to benefit - you do not need to own, deploy, or equip the unit whom the costume belongs to with it. If you own multiple such costumes, their bonuses will stack additively. These bonuses do not affect mission rewards, only stages.
