Princess Connect! Re:Dive Story Event: The Magical Girl Duo: We are Misty & Purely

Welcome back to another edition of our Princess Connect! Re: Dive story event guides! This event features the start of the Magical Girl series which continues on for multiple years. You'll get to see Shiori and Kasumi in their Magical Girl outfits. That and watch Kasumi (Magical) wreck your arena brackets. 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 transform!

Kasumi (Magical) Focus Gacha

Usually, we go in-depth into why you should pull or not pull a character. However, this one is fairly easy. Do you play arena or do you like Kasumi? If yes, you'll probably pull. If not, well you probably want to save up instead.

The Magical Girl Duo: We are Misty & Purely Story Event

This is the twenty-third 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 Shizuru and Shiori (Magical). On top of the rewards, it also adds event story chapters which can be viewed as you complete the event stages.

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.

Gotta love bosses with RNG. The UB does one of three moves that reduce some stats on your characters. Just pray you get the effect that matters the least. The good news is that with the right teams, this shouldn't be too difficult.

Suggested Teams

Hard Boss

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. Other options are more backline damage dealers but just be aware they might get turned into reindeer.

Very Hard Boss

The Very Hard boss is where things get more difficult. You'll want to think about your unit placement as your front units will get knocked back. Something about all these bosses with displacement effects.

Kyoka (w/ UE)	Io (Summer)	Kokkoro (6★) (w/ UE)	Djeeta (w/ UE)	Makoto (w/ UE)

Our first team is a mix of physical and magic attackers with a support and healer. You can mix and match units as you like here. This helps reduce the chance that your units lose a lot of damage due to losing the RNG roll.

Karyl (New Year)	Misato (w/ UE)	Kokkoro (6★) (w/ UE)	Djeeta (w/ UE)	Christina

If you feel like using Nyaru, this is a good chance to do so. If you get off enough UBs, everything dies to Nyaru. It's true!

Misato (w/ UE)	Djeeta (w/ UE)	Christina	Tamaki (Summer) (w/ UE)	Tamaki (w/ UE)

If the boss does not get the UB, you really shouldn't have any troubles here. You can replace a Tamaki with Miyako (Halloween) if you have her built as well.

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	Gimmick	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	5,000,000 to 2,500,001	Increases own evasion by a lot. (Use a magic team.)	Attacks all enemies with a random item. Hammer: Deals physical damage to all enemies and reduces their physical attack. Cymbals: Deals physical damage to all enemies and reduces their magical attack. Bomb: Deals physical damage to all enemies and curses them.	Deals medium physical damage to all enemies within the front enemy's range and knocks them back.	Deals large physical damage to all enemies within range.

Mode 1 is the same as the Very Hard boss except it has very high evasion. You basically have to use a magic team here to clear the Mode. If you don't have one prepared, you're going to be at this for a long time.

Mode 2

Shadow Shiori (Magical) (Lvl. 90) 1,500,000 HP	Shadow Kasumi (Magical) (Lvl. 90) 1,200,000 HP	Boss (Lvl. 90) 2,500,000 HP

For Mode 2, you'll need to get through the two Shadow versions of the Magical Girls. They are tanky and have a lot of HP for you to burst through.

Mode 3

Difficulty	HP	Union Burst	Skill 1	Skill 2
Special Lvl. 90	2,500,000	Attacks all enemies with a random item. Hammer: Deals physical damage to all enemies and reduces their physical attack. Cymbals: Deals physical damage to all enemies and reduces their magical attack. Bomb: Deals physical damage to all enemies and curses them.	Deals medium physical damage to all enemies within the front enemy's range and knocks them back.	Deals large physical damage to all enemies within range.

Welcome back to the Very Hard boss. You just have a lot more HP to get through this time.

Suggested Teams

Mode 1:

Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Yui (New Year) (w/ UE)	Kasumi (w/ UE)	Neneka	Akari (w/ UE)

We're going to go full magic for this boss due to the evasion gimmick. This team should get you through the first mode easily as the damage from Neneka and Karyl (Summer) should grind down the boss fairly quickly.

Kyoka (Halloween)	Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Yui (New Year) (w/ UE)	Kasumi (w/ UE)	Karyl (New Year)

Did you roll for all the Kyoka (Halloween) and Karyl (New Year)? If so, this team is for you. Get ready to watch the boss melt. The downside is Karyl (New Year) will need to be starred up for this to work. She is tanking.

Mode 2:

Rino (6★) (w/ UE)	Christina	Djeeta (w/ UE)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Jun (w/ UE)

Since we're just going for the Shadow units, we can focus mostly on damage. Jun alone should provide enough healing. Any archer can take Rino's spot but she just does the most AOE damage.

Kyoka (w/ UE)	Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Yui (New Year) (w/ UE)	Kasumi (w/ UE)	Kuka (w/ UE)

Magic teams can also work here. You'll just need a tank like Kuka up front and a healer such as Yui (New Year).

Mode 3:

Miyako (Halloween) (w/ UE)	Tamaki (Summer) (w/ UE)	Makoto (Summer)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Jun (w/ UE)

We can attempt once again to stop the boss from being able to UB with Tamaki (Summer) and Miyako (Halloween). It's a good combination with both Makoto to finish off the boss. Just hope it doesn't draw hammer.

Kokkoro (6★) (w/ UE)	Christina	Tamaki (Summer) (w/ UE)	Makoto (w/ UE)	Jun (w/ UE)

A different approach on using a physical team. This one is a bit more defensive and relies less heavily on the boss not drawing hammer. It might take more than one hit though, it is RNG after all.

Kyoka (w/ UE)	Karyl (Summer) (w/ UE)	Io (Summer)	Neneka	Akari (w/ UE)

If you're going magic already, you can just use this team. You just have to hope the boss doesn't RNG into reducing your magic damage.

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 Shiori (Magical) so if you're down to farm waifu, 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	Shizuru	Shiori (Magical)
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 The Magical Girl Duo: We are Misty & Purely story event guide. Good luck to everyone pulling for Kasumi (Magical)!
