Blossoming Beginnings! New Year's Karuta Showdown Event Bonuses
Event Bonus Considers Highest Possible Value
Instead of having to equip Support Cards that provide bonuses, players will instead automatically receive event bonuses, even if the bonus Support Cards are not equipped. The value of the bonuses you get is based on the maximum uncap level of the Support Cards that you own.
Because of this, uncapping even R Support Cards is a must, as they can provide up to 12% bonus each. Getting all copies of the Meisho Doto SSR support is also a must, as it can provide up to 35% bonus at MLB. If you do not own any of the Support Cards, but own the Trainee, you will still get the Event Bonus based on their Star level.
