Princess Connect! Re:Dive Story Event: Landosol’s Ace Detective - The Case of the Woeful Stalker

Welcome back to another edition of our Princess Connect! Re: Dive story event guides! This time you'll be working with Kasumi, Landosol's Ace Detective in solving a mystery you won't soon forget. 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 get ready to witness this chocolate showdown.

Kasumi Focus Banner

Kasumi is a support character that focuses on debuffs and disrupting opponents. She's added to the permanent gacha so you really don't need to focus on pulling her. If you're looking to be real competitive in arena this might be worth pulling. Otherwise, Kasumi is probably your best girl. :) Either way, since she is a permanent character, she is completely optional and will see little use outside of arena where she's top-tier.

Landosol’s Ace Detective - The Case of the Woeful Stalker Story Event

This is the twelfth 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 Yuki and Makoto. 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 once you have unlocked the third gacha box in the event. 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 the more difficult boss, the rewards will also be greater. This version of the boss also does more damage and has a more difficult attack pattern once below 50% HP. (Think of it as them hitting their limit break.) 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	48,000	Deals large magic damage to all enemies based on their max HP and lowers their magic defense.	Deals medium magic damage to the 2nd and 3rd enemy and stuns them.
Hard Lvl. 50	280,000	Deals large magic damage to all enemies based on their max HP and lowers their magic defense.	Deals medium magic damage to the 2nd and 3rd enemy and stuns them.	Deals small magic damage to the front 2 characters, lowers physical attack, reduces TP, and applies curse.
Very Hard Lvl. 90	1,100,000	Deals large magic damage to all enemies based on their max HP and lowers their magic defense.	Deals medium magic damage to the 2nd and 3rd enemy and stuns them.	Deals small magic damage to the front 2 characters, lowers physical attack, reduces TP, and applies curse.
Special Lvl. 90	3,150,000	Deals large magic damage to all enemies based on their max HP and lowers their magic defense.	Deals medium magic damage to the 2nd and 3rd enemy and stuns them.	Deals small magic damage to the front 2 characters, lowers physical attack, reduces TP, and applies curse.

From the above, you can probably see why this boss is annoying. It makes your first two units basically never UB unless you can supply them with TP. The physical damage down is about 90% meaning you can't use physical damage units for the first two units. This debuff also cannot be blocked even with a shield. Also, don't forget about the 50% enrage mechanic for the Hard and Very Hard boss. Defeating the Very Hard boss will also drop a large number of rewards and a Makoto memory shard. Remember, you can only defeat the Very Hard boss once daily.

Suggested Teams

By now, the Hard boss should be fairly simple. It is only level 50 and doesn't hit too hard compared to the Very Hard boss. 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

The above team is a fairly standard team composition for players that are mostly F2P or newer to the game. You can basically slot in any unit you like and clear this Hard stage with enough levels and ranks.

Very Hard Boss

The Very Hard boss is where the challenge starts. You'll want to mostly use a magic team due to the second skill of the boss which both reduces TP and reduces physical damage of your front 2 units by 90%.

Kyoka	Karyl	Misato	Anna	Yukari

The magic team is probably the easiest team to use to clear the boss. Yukari is great here due to their heal and high magic defense. On top of that, her shield is great against this boss and the TP reduction and physical attack down is pretty irrelevant against her. Having Anna in the second position is optimal as she will basically never be able to UB due to the TP reduction from the boss. This also increases both her damage output and her survivability. You can basically use any two mages in the back.

Christina	Eriko (w/ UE)	Makoto	Kaori	Jun

Luckily, with our unit levels and rank, we should be able to easily brute force it as well using a physical team. Having Makoto and Jun reduce the physical defense of the boss will help Eriko with UE and Christina punch through and finish off the boss.

Special Mode

Once you have unlocked the third gacha box, 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

Shadow Kaori (Lvl. 90) 300,000 HP	Shadow Makoto (Lvl. 90) 200,000 HP	Shadow Kasumi (Lvl. 90) 180,000 HP	Shadow Maho (Lvl. 90) 200,000 HP	Boss (Lvl. 90) 3,150,000 HP

The first mode of this boss is effectively fighting the four shadow units. The combination of Shadow Kaori and Shadow Makoto puts pretty big pressure on your tank upfront. Shadow Kasumi and Shadow Maho are pretty annoying supports but overall, this isn't too hard. You just need enough damage to get through it.

Once you clear the Shadow units off, you'll be off to Mode 2.

Mode 2

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	3,150,000 to 1,615,001	Deals large magic damage to all enemies based on their max HP and lowers their magic defense.	Deals small magic damage to the front 3 units, lowers physical defense, decreases TP, applies curse, and confuses them while increasing action speed.	Decreases physical defense of the boss, applies curse, and decreases TP.

The second mode is a modified version of the boss. The second skill cannot be shielded. At least the negative debuffs part. It basically makes your front 3 units lose TP, reduce their defense, curses them, and confuses them. You'll want to make sure you have the right team to deal with this boss.

Once you drop the boss to 1,615,000 HP, it will then switch to mode 3.

Mode 3

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	1,615,000	Deals large magic damage to all enemies based on their max HP and lowers their magic defense.	Deals medium magic damage to the 2nd and 3rd enemy and stuns them.	Deals small magic damage to the front 2 characters, lowers physical attack, reduces TP, and applies curse.

Mode 3 is the same as the Very Hard boss in terms of skill. Just beware of the needed team composition to defeat this boss. You'll likely be using a magic team here. Once you're done, you'll have completed the Special stage this time around.

Suggested Teams

Mode 1:

Christina	Eriko (w/ UE)	Makoto	Muimi	Jun

The first team you'll see for Mode 1 is basically your new bread and butter heavy damage team. The combination of Makoto and Jun to reduce physical defense will go a long way to increasing your overall physical damage. The combination of Muimi, Eriko with UE, and Christina will quickly get you through the four Shadow units.

Rei (w/ UE)	Eriko (w/ UE)	Makoto	Rei (New Year)	Jun

Our second potential team is using the combination of Rei (New Year) and Jun to tank upfront. The backline of Makoto, Eriko with UE, and Rei with UE should also help you clear out the front four Shadow units. You can replace Jun with Miyako for an even friendlier F2P team. If you don't have Eriko with UE, you can try replacing her with Hiyori with UE.

Mode 2:

Shinobu	Eriko (w/ UE)	Makoto	Jun	Miyako

The second Mode of the boss is probably the most annoying. It constantly debuffs your front 3 units, reduces their TP, and confuses them. The optimal team requires at least 2 tanks that can take the damage and heal. The backline should be used for damage. You can basically use any of your two main damage dealers as long as you have Shinobu. If you do not have Shinobu leveled, you can use Ruka as a third tank. Otherwise, you'll likely need to use two runs to get through the second Mode.

Mode 3:

Kyoka	Karyl	Misato	Anna	Yukari

You can essentially use any of the above Very Hard teams here. This is just the optimal magic team and is easy to use.

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.

Total Memory Shards

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

Location	Yuki	Makoto
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.

We hope this guide will help you through the latest Story Event! Don't forget to say hi to the Ace Detective for us. Good luck if you're rolling for her.
