Key Tips and Considerations
- Ticket Retention: Tickets remain until January 29th, allowing post-event purchasing. A total of 31 tickets are needed for all accessories (based on data-mined information).
- No Notifications: The game doesn't notify you of Bonus or Rare Picks; frequent logins are recommended.
- All Picks Count: Any Wonder Pick contributes to mission progress.
- Strategic Rare Picks: Prioritize Bonus Picks for Promo-A cards; use Rare Picks sparingly, ideally near the event's end if you lack the Promo-A variants.
