Princess Joon the Chivalrous Phantom Thief Best Stages to Farm

Submit Feedback or Error

Introduction

Phantom Thieves wouldn't be in business for long if they didn't steal enough goods to make a profit. In a way, you can compare it to all of the event points you will need to pile up to complete the Event Exchanges, Event Lottery, and Total Points Milestones. Instead of stealing from the rich, though, we can get our event points from beating them up constantly! To help you out on taking down the farming targets, this guide includes information on all of the best farming spots and provides a few tips as well.

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. In addition, the amount of stages in the guide will increase as more of the event becomes accessible.

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! 

Since this event is 3 parts instead of the usual 2, you will have even more time to grind out points! You may also worry about if there will be many more one-wave farming spots than usual, but this event is a little lacking in them. Nevertheless, this page will be updated daily based on if the current batch of stages contains a viable farming option.

Memories of the Start (Solo)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Hong Meiling 120000 Sun, Water, Metal Wood, Earth 5 2 None

Drops: Defense and Support Books, Plum and Bamboo Tiles, Cloud and Tiger Scrolls

Meiling may sleep on the job a lot, but you should never underestimate her mansion-guarding skills. While she does not have any actual skills to speak of, as a Solo-target one-wave, she definitely boasts a very high HP stat. Taking advantage of her elemental weaknesses of Sun, Water, and Metal is the best way to knock out the guard quickly and get your rewards.

Fairy Tactics (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Sunny Milk 44670 Fire, Wood, Earth Sun, Star 5 2 None
Luna Child 44670 Sun, Water, Metal Wood, Fire 5 2 Raises Yang DEF of all allies
Sun Sapphire 44670 Moon, Fire, Star Water, Wood 5 2 Applies 2 layers of Poison to all foes

Drops: Attack and Defense Books, Orchid and Chrysanthemum Tiles, Heaven and Phoenix Scrolls

The Three Fairies of Light are standing in as enemy phantom thieves, ripe for grinding for event points! Sadly, while they do have less HP to plow through due to being a total of 3 enemies instead of 1, they come with sneaky skills to annoy Yang attackers, specifically from Luna Child's teamwide Yang DEF buff and Star Sapphire's Poison anomalies that will further nerf Yang ATK unless removed. However, you can always just run Yin attackers instead to avoid their traps!

Plastic Model Collection (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Sanae Kochiya 44600 Moon, Metal, Star Sun, Fire 5 2 None
Kanako Yasaka 44800 Sun, Water, Earth Wood, Star 5 2 None
Suwako Moriya 44600 Moon, Fire, Wood Sun, Star 5 2 None

Drops: Attack and Support Books, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo Tiles, Cloud and Tiger Scrolls

Sanae Kochiya has brought her two guardian gods along for another skirmish, and this is another rather simple triple-foe one-wave. One thing to note is how both Sanae and Suwako are weak to Moon, which can give Friends with Moon-element Last Words a fair advantage in farming this stage.

Goodbye Partners (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Marisa Kirisame 46320 Water, Earth, Star Fire, Metal 5 2 None
Patchouli Knowledge 46360 Moon, Fire, Metal Water, Earth, Star 5 2 Lowers Yang ATK of all targets
Alice Margatroid 46320 Sun, Wood, Star Moon, Fire 5 2 None

Drops: Defense and Support Books, Orchid and Bamboo Tiles, Heaven and Wind Scrolls

Not only does Patchouli Knowledge have 3 elemental resistances (which somehow cover all of Marisa Kirisame's weaknesses for some reason...), but she will decrease your team's Yang ATK, once again making for a potentially problematic stage for Yang-based nukes. These opponents cover each other weaknesses rather well, so perhaps you should return to one of the earler All-target one-waves if this one proves too inconvenient to clear quickly.

Arrival of the Keiga Family (Solo)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Saki Kurokoma 145000 Fire, Metal, Earth Moon, Star 5 2 None

Drops: Defense and Support Books, Orchid and Bamboo Tiles, Tiger and Serpent Scrolls

Another basic Solo-target one-wave to sink your teeth into, and fortunately Saki Kurokoma doesn't have an insane amount of HP compared to the last Solo-target stage! You'll want to roast her with Fire, clash with Metal, or slam her with Earth attacks to get an easy, fast win.

Hidden Strongest Sisters (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Shizuha Aki 82500 Sun, Moon, Metal Earth, Star 5 2 None
Minoriko Aki 82500 Wood, Earth, Star Sun, Water 5 2 None

Drops: Defense and Support Books, Orchid and Bamboo Tiles, Cloud and Dragon Scrolls

Weird how the cycle of Book and Tile drops made it so that this stage drops the same types of materials as the previous one-wave, huh? Anyway, this is a basie 2-enemy stage where the Aki sisters don't share an elemental weakness, so either find a good Friend that can cover elements they are both weak to or just try to farm an earlier stage.

The Sisters' Unlucky Day (All)

Enemy HP Weak To Resists Barriers Spell Gauge Skills
Watatsuki no Toyohime 95000 Moon, Fire, Water Wood, Star 6 2 Raises Agility of all allies
Watatsuki no Yorihime 95000 Sun, Wood, Earth Fire, Metal 6 2 Raises CRIT ATK of all allies

Drops: All types of Books, Tiles, and Scrolls, and Event Story Cards (Invisible Phantom Thief?! on Hard and Detective Phantom Thief?! on Lunatic)

While their coding has gotten out of whack, not much has really changed in terms of approaching the stage. There's still 2 enemies that share a large HP pool and their elemental affinities has slightly been tampered with. They do have their own skills, but since they only impact their offensive stats, they shouldn't matter if your farming Friend is capable of nuking them in a single turn. Since this stage drops all types of materials and even story cards at an increased drop rate, this final stage is a pretty good one to farm!
