Princess Connect! Re:Dive Story Event: Dog Days in the Maho-Maho Kingdom

Welcome back to another edition of our Princess Connect! Re: Dive story event guides! We're off for a fun adventure with Caon as we head to the Maho-Maho Kingdom? Well, sort of anyway. All the information is from the JP server when they first ran the event, and if past events are anything to go by, we should be following the same reward chart. Let's jump right into it! Get ready for Dog Days in the Maho-Maho Kingdom: A Soulful Seaside Summer!

Makoto (Summer) Limited Focus Gacha

The Summer banners of hell continue. We're onto Makoto (Summer)! The questions you should ask yourself if you're feeling lucky and how many jewels do you have left? Do you like Makoto? How about Makoto in a swimsuit? How about them big Makoto's? She's a really strong character and she works even better against solo enemies. (Read: Great for CB.) If you have the jewels, you should probably be rolling for her. Just beware, the next PriFes is Neneka. Let's just say magic teams will be centered around her when she's out.

Dog Days in the Maho-Maho Kingdom Story Event

This is the seventeenth story event in the EN/WW server. Events generally give a generous amount of items, mana, jewels, and character memory shards. The memory shards featured in this event are for Kasumi and Kaori (Summer). You will also get a free character in 1* Kaori (Summer). On top of the rewards, it also adds event story chapters which can be viewed as you complete the event stages.

Boss Battle

As with the previous Very Hard boss, this one is much easier just due to our wider variety of characters and increased levels and rank. Completing it in one hit is entirely possible. You get quite a bit more rewards from it and you can only complete it once a day. Don't worry, we've got you covered and will post some sample teams below.

To fight the boss you'll need to obtain enough boss tickets. Each of the stages you clear from the event will provide boss tickets. The boss will come in normal, hard, and very hard. The normal boss should be easily cleared with any team while hard may pose a bit more of a challenge. Very Hard, as previously stated will be a tougher one. Clearing bosses will also provide tokens to be used on the event treasure box. This is the real reason you'll be farming the event. We'll touch on this later on in the article.

The Hard boss can be done using skip tickets after clearing the boss 3 times. This will help speed up the process once you've done your daily Very Hard stage.

There is also another stage known as Special which you will unlock once you have beaten the Very Hard boss. This stage is where the majority of the difficulty for the event is. Clearing out missions related to this special stage will give a plethora of rewards. It'll just take a lot of boss tickets. We'll go more into it later on in the article.

The hard, very hard, and special boss will have a larger pool of HP and also additional skills. Of course, with a more difficult boss, the rewards will also be greater. We will recommend some potential parties below for those struggling to clear the hard and very hard versions of the boss.

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Normal Lvl. 25	40,000	Deals large magic damage based on number of *Syphon Soul* stacks. Adds 5 *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Deals magic damage to all enemies and generates a field that reduces TP based on the number of *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Summons 3 snakes and knockbacks enemies.
Hard Lvl. 50	280,000	Deals large magic damage based on number of *Syphon Soul* stacks. Adds 5 *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Deals magic damage to all enemies and generates a field that reduces TP based on the number of *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Summons 3 snakes and knockbacks enemies.
Very Hard Lvl. 90	1,150,000	Deals large magic damage based on number of *Syphon Soul* stacks. Adds 5 *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Deals magic damage to all enemies and generates a field that reduces TP based on the number of *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Summons 3 snakes and knockbacks enemies.
Special Lvl. 90	3,150,000	Deals large magic damage based on number of *Syphon Soul* stacks. Adds 5 *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Deals magic damage to all enemies and generates a field that reduces TP based on the number of *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Summons 3 snakes and knockbacks enemies.

It's a little hard to explain this boss in detail. This boss has a gimmick in the form of stacks that it generates. Each attack it does generates 6 stacks. It loses 2 stacks whenever it gets hit by a critical attack and reduces by 1 everytime a summon takes a critical attack. The boss may seem weak in terms of stats but the damage ramps up based on the number of stacks. You'll want to bring the right team for the job here.

Suggested Teams

Hard Boss

Honestly, you can throw just about any of your units at this and beat the Hard version of this boss. Let's just use about the easiest to farm units for this. This worked in JP assuming your characters are rank 9 and above and around level 90 or so. You may need to level up your characters or try different combinations to get a decent clear. The boss move set for Hard is the same as the normal boss with a higher health bar and more damage.

Yui	Shiori	Kokkoro	Kaori	Miyako

This is about a F2P composition that gets used a lot. Miyako will be able to tank the frontal damage while Kaori and Shiori should provide enough damage to kill the boss.

Very Hard Boss

The Very Hard version of the boss is where things start to get tricky. The boss stacks up damage pretty quickly and not having the right team means you will wipe. Be aware of the number of stacks the boss is generating. The TP down field is annoying to say the least but you can work past it since the boss generates summons that can be killed for TP. A healer isn't strictly necessary if you can kill the boss quickly.

Rin (w/ UE)	Christina	Tomo (w/ UE)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Jun (w/ UE)

This is a pretty balanced team to take on the boss. Between Tomo dealing some damage to multiple enemies at once and having Makoto + Christina take out the boss, you should be able to make it through without having your team die. There are multiple replacements you can make here. An interesting change is switching out Rin with Chika.

Shinobu (w/ UE)	Djeeta (w/ UE)	Tomo (w/ UE)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Jun (w/ UE)

If you want to go in with even more offense, feel free to try out this combination. The inclusion of Shinobu will increase your damage while having Djeeta will help reduce stacks on the boss.

Shizuru (Valentine)	Makoto (Summer)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Muimi	Jun (w/ UE)

Want to show off your box while clearing the boss? This team is for you. Just dump all your strong limited units onto a team and watch it go. :)

Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Misaki (w/ UE)	Io (Summer)	Illya (w/ UE)	Kuka (Oedo)

A magic team clear is also possible but is much riskier. You can consider replacing Io (Summer) with Akari and Misaki with Grea if you have her. Just make sure Karyl (Summer) doesn't UB the summons and you should be fine.

Special Mode

Once you clear the Very Hard boss, you will unlock the Special difficulty. This difficulty is geared toward end-game players and is very difficult. It will likely take 3+ teams to properly clear. It is broken into 3 sections/modes.

Mode 1

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	3,150,000 to 1,890,001	Deals large magic damage based on number of *Syphon Soul* stacks. Adds 5 *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Deals magic damage to all enemies and generates a field that reduces TP based on the number of *Syphon Soul* stacks.

You're probably wondering what is different about this first Mode compared to the Very Hard boss. As soon as the battle starts, the boss gains a 60% attack buff. On top of that, your units will also gain a debuff of -95% magic and physical critical chance. As if this boss wasn't annoying enough...

Mode 2

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	1,890,000		Summon up to 3 snakes and knockbacks enemies.

Mode 2 is all about the summons. The boss still generates stacks on attack but now summons up to 3 snakes. At most there can be 3 snakes on the field. You clear Mode 2 once 30 snakes are defeated. There is a counter to help you keep track.

Mode 3

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	1,890,000	Deals large magic damage based on number of *Syphon Soul* stacks. Adds 5 *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Deals magic damage to all enemies and generates a field that reduces TP based on the number of *Syphon Soul* stacks.	Summons 3 snakes and knockbacks enemies.

We're now back to the Very Hard version of the boss. This boss will also enrage at ~29 seconds left by increasing the damage done and gaining 20 stacks. This shouldn't be too different from the Very Hard version of the boss.

Suggested Teams

Mode 1:

Kyoka (w/ UE)	Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Misato (w/ UE)	Anne	Kuka (Oedo)

Magic teams are the way to go here. They are less affected by the critical rate down effect. Kuka (Oedo) is the best tank for this job. You can replace her with Kurumi if you do not have her.

Kyoka (w/ UE)	Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Misato (w/ UE)	Akari (w/ UE)	Yukari (w/ UE)

An alternative magic composition can also be used with Yukari tanking the frontal attacks. You'll want to use Akari here for the additional survivability that her UB provides for your back-line mages.

Suzuna (Summer)	Shizuru (Valentine)	Christina	Makoto (w/ UE)	Jun (w/ UE)

If you want to try a physical team instead. You can use this as a guideline. Jun should be strong enough to tank the boss combined with a buff/heal from Shizuru (Valentine). Makoto and Christina will provide the damage. We're using Suzuna (Summer) or Suzuna here since she crits on UB regardless of the debuff from the boss.

Mode 2:

Shinobu (w/ UE)	Djeeta (w/ UE)	Tomo (w/ UE)	Muimi	Miyako (w/ UE)

Since you only have to kill the snakes here, you'll want a team that can provide AOE damage and deal with them fairly quickly. This team will get the job done with the ample amount of AOE. Miyako is the best tank since you don't need to worry about the boss doing anything other than normal attacks and summoning snakes.

Rin (w/ UE)	Kaori (Summer)	Tomo (w/ UE)	Muimi	Miyako (w/ UE)

If you're struggling with survivability, you can use Rin as your support unit. Kaori (Summer) can also be used here in place of Djeeta if you have her farmed up enough.

Mode 3:

Shinobu (w/ UE)	Tomo (w/ UE)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Muimi	Jun (w/ UE)

Mode 3 is essentially the Very Hard boss all over again. You can take any of the above Very Hard teams and play around until you find a one hit. :)

Shizuru (Valentine)	Makoto (Summer)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Muimi	Jun (w/ UE)

Again, this flex team can work pretty well against the boss. Any combination of a tank, 3 attackers, and a support should get you through this boss.

Rewards

We're finally onto the main point of each of these events: the rewards that come along with it. In addition to the first clear bonuses, there are also a set number of event treasure boxes. Think of it as a mini gacha machine but each one has a set number of items. To roll this treasure gacha box, you get pulls from defeating the event boss and completing daily missions. You do not need to clear out every single item in each box to move on to the next one. However, you will need to obtain the main items in the box. In this case, the main items are the memory shards for the characters. (You would want to collect these anyway.) The contents of each of the boxes are listed below. The endless box also contains shards for Kaori (Summer) so if you're down to farm her, there is no better way to do so.

Total Memory Shards

A breakdown of all the possible memory shards gained from missions, story, and the boxes are listed here:

Location	Kasumi	Kaori (Summer)
Story Reward	4	4
Normal Quests	2	2
Hard Quests	6	9
Treasure Box	50	65
Event Missions	N/A	26
Total	62	106

Note: This does not include memory shards from hard mission drops. These only include the ones you are guaranteed to get assuming you complete the tasks.

That brings us to the end of the Dog Days in the Maho-Maho Kingdom: A Soulful Seaside Summer! Event guide. This event is a great way to stock up on memory shards for Kaori (Summer) and Kasumi. Remember we still have 2 more summer banners to go. Best of luck rolling for Makoto (Summer)! We'll see you in our next update.
