Trailblaze Friendship Is Magic! Event Guide

Stage 1 - A Sea of Trashcan

After the Magician uses their Skill, summons 1 minican to join the battle, with a max of 5 minicans at a time.
For each additional minican, increases the DMG dealt by all allies, with a great boost when there are 5 minicans.

The more minicans, the higher the ATK and Toughness Reduction. When minicans attack enemies, they will also regenerate a massive amount of energy for the Magician.

What you need to do is make sure Trailblazer always use their Skill to keep summoning minicans. Even after you have 5 minicans on the field, keep using the Skill so the gang of minicans can launch a follow-up attack.

Whenever Trailblazer has full Energy, immediately use Ultimate (even better if you use it before minicans' turns. This is because Minicans can regenerate Energy for the Trailblazer and you don't want to waste all the incoming Energy.

Aside from that, after using Ultimate, the minicans will launch a Friendship Ram (The Blast attack from Ultimate can NOT summon minivan).

Stage 2 - Tri-Action Trashcan

The Magician can only use their Skill on minicans, which grants 3 Kinetic Points to them. When allies launch Counters, minicans consume 1 Kinetic Point to launch follow-up attacks and regenerate Energy for the Magician.

After the Magician uses their Ultimate, the minicans will evolve, up to the Ultra Gold form at max. After evolution, greatly increases minicans' ATK and increases all allies' follow-up attack DMG.

When minicans reach the Ultra Gold form, increases the max Kinetic Points to 5. After the Magician uses their Ultimate, minicans will also gain Kinetic Points.

Yes, March 7th can only use her Skill on the minican and you should use only Skill (ignore Basic ATK and keep using Skill) that because you want to give it Kinetic Points. Those points will allow the minican to launch a follow-up attack when any allies use Counter (in this case, when March's shielded character got attacked, she will deal a Counter).

Almost all the enemies use Blast attack, so it has a high chance to attack the minican > March launch Counter > minican deal follow-up attack.

While March 7th is busy with the minican, use Lynx and Tingyun's Skill on Clara so she can deal a good amount of DPS. Of course, that is if you have a spare SP. You would want March to keep using Skill for the minican so it can have Kinetic Points since they're the main DPS in the team.

Use March's Ultimate whenever it's up (this is really important) so the minican will evolve to the more powerful version of the trash can - you know, the golden one. Of course, that's not only it. When using her Ultimate, the trash can will use Friendship Ram just like in stage 1 to deal damage while also increasing its own Follow-Up ATK boost.

During the whole battle, always target the boss and not the mobs (this is for every character). When any mobs use AoE/Blast attacks that attack either Clara or minican because they have a death wish, a flurry of Counters will be launched and these are en ough to kill the mobs. You want to focus on the boss only so they will be unalived before the countdown ends.

Stage 3 - Hazardous Waste Trashcan

After the Magician uses their Skill, if there is an empty slot on the enemy's side, summons 1 Hazardous Waste on the enemy's side.
At the same time, causes all Hazardous Wastes on the enemy's side to immediately take action.

When Hazardous Waste takes action, it will uncontrollably launch random effects such as:
(1) Attacking enemies and inflicting DoT on them
(2) Beating the Magician and regenerating their Energy
(3) Motivating the ally minican(s) and causing it to immediately take action.

When allied minicans attack enemies, they enemy immediately takes action and suffers DoT.

When Sampo uses his Skill, it will summon a trash can on the ENEMY's side. One Skill for one trash can. If there is vacancy on the enemies' slot (max 5 enemies in a row), you can summon more trash cans.
Example: If there is only 1 enemy, you can summon up to 4 trash cans. If there are 4 enemies, you can only summon 1.

Everything is about DoT at this stage. For each 1 Hazardous Waste (trash can) summoned on the enemy's side, increase the DoT received by all enemies. That's why, use every Skill and Burst (by Sampo and Black Swan, especially) to inflict DoT on them. Aside from that, when Sampo uses his Ultimate, it will inflict Deep Blue Curse on all enemies, which is just another form of DoT. This DoT is REALLY powerful so you should definitely use Sampo's Ultimate when available.

Trash can on the enemy side will attack you, and yes, it will reduce their HP but don't worry, they will restore the attacked character's Energy so tough up and take the damage like a champ. After all, it restore Energy and as I mentioned before, the DoT from Sampo's Ultimate is broken.

Stage 4 - Equivalent Exchange Trashcan

Minicans start with 1 point of HP. Every time allied characters' HP is lost or restored, minicans will heal for an equivalent amount of HP.
When the HP restored reaches the cans' max HP, the minicans evolve, up to the Ultra Gold form at max.

Greatly increases ally DMG after minicans enter the Ultra Gold form, and each attack will regenerate Energy for the entire team.
Every time allies attack enemies, reduces HP of minicans, and they will leave the Ultra Gold Form when at 1 HP.

Now don't get it backwards. When the minican is NOT in the Ultra Gold Form, it will heal itself if your character loses HP or restores HP. When the minican is IN the Ultra Gold Form, it will lose HP when your character hits any enemies.
The minican will leave the Ultra Gold Form when at 1 HP, and downgrade to the normal Gold Form. But you can get it back to Ultra with the same method: lose/restore HP.

What you need to do is to make sure the minican evolves to the highest form possible. To do that, your character needs to keep losing and restoring HP.
Blade: Keep using his Skill > Basic ATK
Jingliu: Keep using her Skill
Luocha: Make sure his Talent is always activated (Zone that restores allies' HP when the enemy gets attacked), usually his auto Skill and Ultimate are enough to trigger the Talent. If not, use his Skil to restore Blade's HP
Bronya: Keep using her Skill to your Main DPS, preferably Blade because he uses NA instead of Skill for main damage (Her Skill will also make the target character lose HP and restore Energy)

Stage 5 - Self-Sacrificing Trashcan

When allies use their Ultimate, grants 1 Kinetic Point to minicans.
When Kinetic Points are at max, summons 4 additional minicans and immediately launches Self-Destructive Impacts.

When Self-Destructive Impact hit enemies with a special mark, the enemy can be immediately defeated.
If the designated target is defeated, the remaining minicans will enter Ultra Golden form and immediately deliver Super Self-Destructive Impact to deal a great amount of DMG.

Probably the most uneventful stage of this event because it's the same thing as stage 1 all over again. Make the Magician aka Pela here to keep using her Skill and Ultimate for the minican (just like every other stage gosh). While for the other characters in the party:
Tingyun: Use Skill and Ultimate on Argenti. When her Skill is active, just use Basic ATK
Huohuo: Keep using Basic ATK, there's no need for healing honestly. Then Ult whenever can
Argenti: Use his first phase Ultimate instead of the second one

The minican in this stage can gain up to 3 Kinetic Points. How to get the point? When any of your characters use their Ultimate, minican will get 1 Kinetic Points. Once it has the max point, it will summon 4 more minicans to deal their version of Ultimate damage.

When you use the minican's Ultimate on marked enemies (these marks appear on specific enemies, apparently, and we can't inflict them manually), the marked enemies will immediately be defeated and the minican will evolve into Ultra Golden form to deal even more devastating Ultimate. Since there always be more than 2 marked enemies, I suggest attacking the one with the most HP since it's instant death to them.

And when it enters the Ultra Golden form, make sure to attack the boss. After that, the minican will return to its normal state (Silver minican).
