Those Defense Boost V Max from the avatar boards should be obtained at all costs

[hawk222 152]

^VocaloidLover is right: if you don't already have at least 3 medals with DB5Max (or you at least have the skill medal and are waiting to put it onto an actual medal), then you should definitely get 1 or both of these boards. Heck, maybe even grab one even if you already have 3 DB5Max medals. These things are helpful.

Additionally, TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THIS STORAGE SALE!! These things are extremely rare, with this one being the 3rd one we've ever gotten in the global version. Don't wait too long and be forced to spend 100 jewels for a measly 5 storage spaces.

I wouldn't recommend doing any last-minute pulls from the permanent deals that are leaving. They've been outdated for a while now. I would, however, advise you to spend any extra bronze/silver/gold tickets that you have. Who knows? Maybe you'll get a T8 Blue Fairy medal!

As for Kefka, well... He's free, and he's technically farmable, so... Honestly, the medal itself isn't much to look at, but it could help you sometime, so it's worth trying to get at least 1 copy. You'll need to be the host/MVP in order to get a chance at getting a 6* version, and all boss parts need to be destroyed for a chance at getting the 7* version. If you aren't able to get your raid boss to lv. 99, try working with your party members. As long as you participate in the battle, you'll get rewards!

The "hard mode" versions of the Weaponmaster and Mysterious Sir (aka Gilgamesh and Kefka) are pretty challenging, so don't bite off more than you can chew (and don't spend jewels). The titles aren't really that much to aim for, but it would be good to try and beat Kefka in 5 turns since the reward is the Warrior of Light (WoL) medal. It used to be a high score challenge reward, and it's not exactly great these days, but it's an event medal, so it's nice to have for completion's sake.

The Organization event is nice if you missed the items or weren't playing at that time. The quests themselves are pretty easy, too. You'll get the hair from the first quest each day, and you'll get the title (No. I, No. II, etc.) and a copy of the B version of that Organization member from the 2nd quest (Xemnas B, Xigbar B, etc.). Like the WoL medal, these guys are pretty outdated, but unlike the WoL medal, they're a lot easier to get. (Note: these are not the same as the Organization+ medals. There'll be a chance to earn those later this month, probably.)

The high score challenge, which hasn't been seen since November 2018, is back and "revamped", which apparently means it's even worse than before. While all enemies have been adjusted to account for changes in the game's meta (Supernova medals, etc.), the rewards still need some work. Naturally, those who need jewels the most need to work the hardest while those who need jewels the least get plenty of them for little effort. That being said, use everything you have, but don't pull just for a chance at jewels. Side note: even the other rewards are terrible. The point rewards are literally 1 Chip, 1 Magic Mirror, and 1 Broom. The non-jewel ranking rewards are Moon Gems (good considering how rare they are), Power Gems, and low-tier skill medals (AB3Max for the lowest ranks, AB5Max and AB6Max for the top ranks). Considering that you can get better skills guaranteed in most banners these days, this is pretty insulting. So, to recap: jewels good, but don't chase; Moon and Power Gems also good, but don't chase, and everything else is terrible.

Finally, the new banner. Axel is a nice looking copy medal and would go great on many Keyblade slots (like Fairy Stars' 5th slot). His 5-gauge cost means that an SP skill is almost a necessity, though you have a great opportunity to get one from the new avatar boards mentioned earlier. That being said, he's a non-mercy medal, so watch your jewels if you choose to pull for him. (Also, can we talk about how wrong it is to give the VIP banner a free pull but not the F2P banner? The return of VIP banners continues to be a stupid decision on SENA's part.)
