The V2 Germa mini event just ended on JP. Managed to farm enough skulls to 5+ my free V2 Reiju and also picked up 5 evo crystals for the other rangers, in case I pull them in the future. That island was much easier to farm than the first Germa island, could even run double TM Enel to speedfarm the 40 stamina version.
The special Big Mom ranking on the other hand...... Tried to complete it on the last day and failed miserably. That was the hardest ranking so far. Either you were lucky enough to pull the new Judge/Sanji legend and the whole V2 germa batch or you were pretty much out of luck.
I tried to run the most "F2P" friendly option which was 6+ V1 Doffy with friend Barto/Cavendish (and like 45 turns of stalling), even used up a bunch of AAM and turkey feasts on Invasion Linlin (she's incredibly important for so much content) but kept messing up the targetting on the early stage and there's not much room for error with that kind of team. Didn't help that it cost 50 stamina per try and hardly anyone on my friendlist pulled Barto/Cavendish.
That brand new debuff Bandai introduced with this event is absolutely brutal. It disables damage dealing specials of all sorts, HP cuts, fixed damaged, tap timing damage you name it. Clear middle finger to not only V2 Doffy, 6+ Enel but also the brand new king in town V2 Katakuri (his reign lasted 2 months). We'll see how common this debuff will be in the future but this could be a big nerf to many teams. The most popular method to deal with these increasingly tanky bosses has been to load up on HP cuts like Warco and abuse the crazy special damage from units like Enel, 6+ Inu, V2 Kata.
Funny enough there was an easy Lace team but I don't have V1 Sabo. Think it's pretty lame to lock an exclusive support unit behind such a difficult ranking. Then again Sora is useless if you don't pull the whole V2 Germa batch. The new Rangers team is completely busted but they are much harder to fit in other teams now because their specials are more restrictive than ever.
Congrats on the amazing haul! That's some incredible luck over the last 2 months for you!
I'm running the island on JP atm since it finally returned and I think the book drops are not that great, I get one or two per 50 stamina run. That being said, you get a lot of forbidden tomes and skulls. Even if you're not planning on evolving the Germa kids right now, in the long run you might want to, most of them gets an upgrade and the 6+ Judge team is just better than the OG team.

How are the manual drops on the Germa Resurrection island?
After collecting the full crew and a dupe Judge, I really want to work towards maxing them. Thing is at this time I don't much care for upgrading any of them besides Judge. Would be running mostly for skill up manuals. Should I just wait for fortnights to come back around or take this chance before it leaves on March 11th and get some books?
