Hina's Cheering Saga Best Stages to Farm

Submit Feedback or Error

Hi Friends! You know, cheerleading sure looks cool and the movies make it seem easy, but there's a lot of training that goes into it! So if you want to be paid like a true herald of spring, you're going to need to put in some extra practice. Still, just like practicing in real life, this sort of thing is easier if you go into it with a plan - work smart, not hard!

All of the following stages are chosen because they are one wave battles - which means that you can end them immediately with a powerful enough Last Word, and thus get event points way faster.

Make sure you're farming these stages on the highest difficulty you can clear with as few units as possible in a single turn, on Full Auto if possible. Ideally, you'll be farming them with 1 unit in 1 turn, so if it'd take you 2 units to farm Lunatic, or multiple turns, it'd be better to farm with 1 unit on Hard, and so on. The goal is to minimize time and Spirit P spent, but it's perfectly okay to bring other units along to level them up, just try to keep it to only one or maybe two so you don't run out of Spirit P too quickly.

New Anti-Misfortune Brew?! (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Water Ghost 28000 Moon, Earth, Star Metal 4 N/A None
Nitori Kawashiro 100000 Moon, Earth, Star Water, Metal 5 2 None
Moon Ghost 28000 Earth, Star Metal 4 N/A None

Drops:  Defense & Support Books, Orchid & Bamboo Tiles, Tiger & Dragon Scrolls

The first stage this time around isn't too bad - whilst Nitori sports a impressive six digit HP count, both she and the first ghost are weak to Moon, Earth, and Star, leaving you with a wide possible range of Friends to use to farm this stage with ease. Whilst the second ghost only shares the Earth and Star weaknesses, it only has a paltry 20k HP, so any attack strong enough to take out Nitori will take it out as well. 

Since only Nitori has a HP count worth worrying about, the only elements you may want to avoid bringing are Water and Metal. The Sun weakness of the second ghost isn't worth worrying about, since any attack that takes Nitori out will also take it out, even if it resists the element. 

Woah, Tiger and Dragon scrolls both...I know my spirits sure got raised! Good job, Nitori. Though, perhaps you should pass on buying her energy drinks, they aren't good for you...

Bad Luck Mystery (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Water Ghost 35000 Moon, Metal, Star Metal 4 N/A None
Marisa Kirisame 89000 Moon, Water, Metal Wood, Star 5 2 None
Metal Ghost 35000 Sun, Fire, Star Earth 4 N/A None

Drops: Attack & Support Books, Chrysanthemum & Bamboo Tiles, Heaven & Earth Scrolls


Like Nitori, Marisa is flanked by enemies with considerably less health than her - it's a less exaggerated difference, but it still does mean the only weaknesses that matter are Marisa's. So, bring friends who can blast away with Moon, Water, or Earth Last Words for a easier time!

...Say Marisa, why are you carrying around salt in a bathtub?

Worried Sick (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Yuyuko Saigyouji 55000 Sun, Fire, Star Moon, Metal 5 N/A None
Youmu Konpaku 65000 Water, Wood, Earth Sun, Fire 5 2 None
Sun Ghost 40000 Moon, Fire, Earth Star 4 N/A None

Drops:  Defense & Support Books, Plum & Bamboo Tiles, Earth & Serpent Scrolls

Whilst no one target has a particularly high HP amount like with the first two stages, as a tradeoff all three opponents here have rather similar health values. As such, between that and their unshared weaknesses, unfortunately you won't be able to really abuse an elemental weakness - your best bet is to aim for Water, Wood, or Earth attacks, to avoid resistances. 

Dead Tired Deadlines (No)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Fire Ghost 40000 Sun, Water, Metal Wood 4 N/A Increases all allies' resistance to All targeting attacks for one turn & lowers the resistance to Solo targeting attacks for 1 turn.
Hieda no Akyuu 83000 Sun, Moon, Metal Water, Earth 5 1 Increases the Evasion of all allies for 1 turn.
Star Ghost 40000 Sun, Water, Wood Moon 4 N/A Increases all allies' resistance to All targeting attacks for one turn & lowers the resistance to Solo targeting attacks for 1 turn.

Drops: Attack & Defense Books, Orchid & Chrysanthemum Tiles, Wind & Tiger Scrolls.

Hey, uh, Akyuu raises the Evasion of her team by 4 levels, and her allied ghosts both have All targeting resistance! That sucks! This stage is too hard to really farm for most characters. You probably shouldn't, unless you're utterly desperate for this exact combination of drops. 

Double Moneygrubbers?! (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Reimu Hakurei 85000 Fire, Metal, Earth Wood, Star 5 2 None
Joon Yorigami 95000 Sun, Moon, Wood Fire, Earth 5 2 None
Sun Ghost 60000 Moon, Fire, Earth Star 4 N/A None

Drops: Attack & Defense Books, Orchid & Chrysanthemum Tiles, Cloud & Tiger Scrolls.

This is the hardest of the practical stages to farm, as you're going to need to be able to take on all three of your foes here without using weaknesses, as none of them share one, and their individual HPs are too high to simply target the highest HP one (Joon). To make things easier on yourself, try to use Sun, Moon, Water, and Metal attacks, as they aren't resisted by any of the enemies.
