3. Players must manually collect the profits from the previous day's booth operations.
4. Each day player booths will be ranked according to the amount of Celebration Tokens obtained, and a corresponding reward will be issued.

Strategy Tips

• Food Souls
• Cooking Talents

	Strength/Magic				Defender
Utility	Damage	Damage	Damage	Damage	Mandatory for team survival
Fallen Angel	Speed or Attack	Speed or Attack	Speed or Attack	Speed or Attack	HP

General Tips

• Healers should NOT be used; they will not be able to keep up the enemies' basic attack and AOE skills.
• Enemies are immune to CC (stun, charm, silence) so Food Souls that do CC but contribute low damage should be avoided.
• You MUST kill fast! Battles are impractical to drag out due to the barrage of dangerous AOE attacks.
• Some bosses are easier than others. Most players find Aizen to be the easier and Orochi to be the hardest to clear.
• Different bosses have different gimmicks so be open to trying different team compositions and Cooking Talents for each boss.

Defender

1. The Defender you bring must be as high HP as possible and capable of surviving enemy skill damage.
2. As for how much HP your best Defender should have in general:
   • ~9,000 HP to clear stage 50 Catacombs
   • ~15,000 HP to clear Palata normal story stages
   • ~20,000 HP to clear stage 80 Catacombs
3. If your Defender options are limited,
   

   Tom Yum
   is your friend, especially if you invested R Artifact Tickets for him.
   • With decent artifact progression, Tom Yum will outperform even 5* SR and 2* UR Defenders.
4. In general, tanks with defensive skills should be used over cc/offensive skills, assuming similar stats.

Oyster

Hishi Mochi

Caviar

Apple Pie

Gyoza

Lion's Head

Ddeokbokki

Tom Yum

Magic/Strength

1. Players will have various options across the board, depending on the UR ranking events participated and luck in limited banners. You will have to experiment to see what works best for you. Refer to the Useful Food Souls guide as a reference for which Food Souls are viable to use.

2. Food Souls that do CC (stun, charm, silence) but deals little to no damage should be avoided

• ❌
  

  Peking Duck
  - 0 damage on basic skill
• ❌
  

  Foie Gras
  - 0 damage on basic skill
• ❌
  

  Vodka
  - horrendous base attack

3. These CC Food Souls are okay to use purely for damage but should not be top priority; many players likely have better options.

• ?
  

  Dragon's Beard Candy
  ,
  

  Matsutake Dobinmushi
  ,
  

  Pineapple Bun

4. Food Souls with skills that target all of, the backmost, or random enemies may prove to be more helpful in taking down the more dangerous mobs faster. Some notable examples:

• All enemies -
  

  Turkey
  ,
  

  B-52
  ,
  

  Souffle
  ,
  

  White Truffle
  ,
  

  Wuyi Da Hong Pao
• Backmost -
  

  Mapo Tofu
  ,
  

  Red Wine

5. Food Souls that have slaying effect on their skills maybe also be helpful to finish off enemies quickly.

• % HP same regardless of level -
  

  Souffle
  ,
  

  Matsutake Dobinmushi
  ,
  

  Boston Lobster
• Needs lvl 21/31 energy skill level -
  

  American Corn Bread
  ,
  

  Donut
  ,
  

  Moon Cake
• Other options such as
  

  Sichuan Hotpot
  are not considered due to poor damage contribution

6. Enemy dispel can be used to get rid of status buff and/or invincibility on some of the bosses. However, this may not be fully necessary depending on the damage output of your team without one.

Basic Skill Enemy Dispel

Butter Tea

Rum

Toso

Moon Cake

Opera Cake

Gyudon

Borscht

Artifact Skill Enemy Dispel

Boston Lobster with T4 Artifact

Souffle with T2 Artifact

Brownie with T5 Artifact

Turkey with T5 Artifact

Tortoise Jelly with T3 Artifact

7. Due to the repetitive nature of the event, teams that rely on Link skills should be avoided, especially with Cooking Talents playing a large role in clearing the hardest difficulties.

Healers

1. Most players should not be bringing a Healer to battle. If healing is needed, they should be supplemented with Cooking Talents instead.
2. The battles are simply a damage race. It is a matter of killing it before it kills you. Dedicating a team slot for a healer will lower team damage output and make it impossible or far too RNG dependent to clear
3. There are exceptions
   1. 

      Miso Soup
      - high random target damage helps to take down dangerous mobs
   2. Artifact-dependent options that should only be sought by advanced players

Support
Skill	Recommend?	Explanation
Melt & Mold	✅	Necessary for the team to survive past the boss skill damage that will wipe most of your team
Seasoning	✅	Helpful to keep the Defender alive
Divine Seasoning	✅	If timed right, the team can survive past AOE attacks for some of the bosses
Zero Degrees	?	May help with surviving some AOE bursts from the boss, but the timing required may be too precise and farming-unfriendly
Always Fresh	❌	Invincibility duration too short considering the continuous damage the Defender will be receiving
Precise Seasoning	❌	Heal % far too little considering the energy cost and cooldown
Keep Fresh	❌	A terrible skill. Don't bother with it

Damage
Skill	Recommend?	Explanation
Super Dark Cuisine	✅	Decent source of damage for those whose team may be struggling with damage output.
Blade Chop	❌	Skill only helps towards the end of battle. Damage without slaying effect is insignificant
Cross Cut	❌	Damage inflicted is insultingly low
Grilled Purgatory	❌	Energy cost far too high to use reliably since battles are relatively short

Control
Skill	Recommend?	Explanation
Clean N Scrub	?	May help against invincibility shields and enemy skill buffs. Likely better to bring a dedicated dispeller.
Up Damage	❌	Duration far too short considering the boost % and energy cost
Restore Energy	❌	Energy cost far too high to properly take advantage of
Up Defense	❌	Please don't
Holy Mushroom	❌	Enemies are immune to CC so this skill is useless
Hot Pan	❌	Enemies are immune to CC so this skill is useless
Titanium Pan	❌	Enemies are immune to CC so this skill is useless
