Event Walkthrough
This section will quickly detail what you should do during the duration of this event.
Event Playthrough
Faster Runs vs High Drops for Lottery
A common question is asked whether one should focus on faster runs or maximizing drop bonus.
If you intend to farm the lottery, you are better off with faster runs.
Because the more runs you do, the more Lotto CE's you are inevitably going to get from drops and which you can then Max Limit Break and increase your overall yield while keeping your runs fast.
+1/+2 Drop bonus is fairly minor in comparison from going from a 6-8 turn run to a 3-4 turn run.
Farming Lotto - F2P option
There is only one composition that F2P Players really need for farming Lotto Currency in the entire event.
There are 4 things you specifically need:
If you have your own Waver or Skadi(with Combat Uniform swap), you can reliably 3 turn any of the rotations, especially the 2nd rotation which is all Assassins.
The general gist of how this run will go is like this:
*Qualifier and Final rotations will require some face cards to finish off the boss, Sieg should wipe Main Event without issue.
For Main Event, you can opt to swap out MLB Grudge Match for a CE with Starting NP Charge and Arts/NP Damage for faster runs.
Farming Final Rotation Lotto - F2P option
An alternative option for F2P in farming the Final Rotation without Sieg is the following composition(Damage Dealers are assumed NP5/Max Level/Max Fou with all Interludes and Strengthenings done):
Your Party Formation Order Setup should look like this, MAKE SURE YOUR BACKLINE IS IN THE EXACT ORDER SHOWN:
Frontline: Spartacus/Paracelsus/Support Waver.
Backline: Shakespeare/Arash/Any Servant.
Here is the sequence you will follow in clearing to Garden Final Rotation Node:
Farming Lotto - Non F2P options
There are numerous options for Non F2P Players, you can check out details from Xzero/SaberofAvalon's Guide.
The obvious choices for fast farming Gilfest in all rotations are two following options(Not F2P Friendly):

Beating Izo is fairly straight forward:
Crit Izo down as quickly as possible and have a bait servant ready to draw his damage.
By following the above guidelines, dealing with Izo should be rather simple and straight forward.
Exhibition 4 - The Suffering
This Exhibition is one of the hardest if not the hardest Challenge Quests of all the Exhibitions . If you need to use a Command Seal to beat this, then there is no shame in doing so.
You will face against a team of 3 different servants(2 Break Bars each with 200-300k HP) consisting of:
