This HSC is different to the previous ones because it takes advantage of the new “if you die, you keep your score” mechanic. Basically, the whole mission is a gauntlet, where the enemies get harder and harder as you advance. Eventually, you will die. (Or rather, I couldn’t make it to the end!) It’s a lot like a Coliseum month bundled up into one mission.
Here’s your list of multipliers:


The two Premiums - SP Axel and SDG - are the ones that have 21% bonuses. This is great because they’ve been in the system a long time and more people will have them! The down side: the 14% bonuses - the new +3 Strength medals - are /not/ guaranteed pulls in the EMC for the first time ever. This makes getting those medals a lot harder.
Additionally, the new paid board - Halloweentown Goofy - only gives 7%, which is really stupid.
So let’s get down to the enemies:
Lv. 10 Shadow (P) x5 ~ 632
Lv. 20 Chomper Egg (S) x4 ~ 1169
Lv. 30 Creeper Plant (S) & Tornado Step (S) x2 ~ 4632
Lv. 40 Fire Plant (M) & Blue Gummi Copter x2 (M + Magic-Defense x1) ~ 8307
Health Chest
Lv. 50 Wyvern (P + Strength x1) ~ 20192
Lv. 80 Yellow Gummi Copter (S + Speed-Defense x1) x5 ~ 2538
Lv. 100 Neoshadow (S) & Shadow (P) x4 ~ 10000
Lv. 1 Gift Shadow (P) x5 ~ 500
Special Chest
Lv. 120 Red Copter Fleet (P + Power-Defense x2 & Speed-Defense x2) ~ 41250
Lv. 130 Large Body (P) x3 ~ 12250
Lv. 150 Candy Apple (M) x2 ~ 13750
Lv. 170 Possessor (M) x5 ~ 2700
Lv. 180 Gummi Hammer (P) x2 ~ 26800
Health Chest
Lv. 200 Invisible (S) ~ 56250
Lv. 1 Gift Shadow (P) x5 ~ 500
Lv. 210 Bag O’ Coins (P) x3 & Shadow (P) x3 ~ 4650
Lv. 220 Black Gummi Copter (S + Type-Defense x1) & Creeper Plant (S) x2 ~ 31200
Lv. 230 Large Armor (P) ~ 32300
Lv. 240 Blue Gummi Copter (M + Magic-Defense x1) x5 ~ 5100
Lv. 250 Armored Archer (S) x2 & Hook Bat (S + Power-Defense x1) x2 ~ 21250
Health Chest
Special Chest
Lv. 260 Morning Star (P) & Armored Knight (P) x2 ~ 67500
Lv. 1 Gift Shadow (P) x5 ~ 500
Health Chest
Special Chest
Lv. 270 Bag O’ Coins (P) & (M) & (S) ~ 5550
Lv. 280 Darkball (M) x2 & Possessor (M) x3 ~ 23500
Then I died. Ran out of Special.
“After the darkball is a [Health chest and Guage chest and a] single lvl 290 armored knight followed by two 300 search ghosts. After the ghost are two bees [Nimble Bee] after the 2 bees there is a lvl 320 big bee [Stinging Bee] accompanied by two bees [Nimble Bee]. There is lvl 330 neoshadow and invisible afterwards with 4 and 7 bars of hp respectively.” ~ by Reddit users rival_king & f8bindsall
You’ll notice a new type of enemy: Gift Shadows. These are basically one shot mobs that mark the end of a “section”. They give about six bars of Special. This lets you go all out on the Invisible and Morning Star with little repercussion.
Strategy:
One of my favorite things about this event is that it completely relies on skill. Whereas the previous event relied solely on multipliers, this one almost admonishes you for using them. I’ve done this mission maybe ten times now, and I have gotten a significantly higher score (700,000) with 0%, and only 630k with 42%. This is because my best setup (Magic heavy Divine Rose) can get me a lot further in the level than my multiplier setup can. My recommendation is to try the event twice - once with multipliers and once without - and see which has a higher score for you.
Secondly, you’ll want a multi-colored keyblade. There are all three types of enemies in this mission, and very strong ones at that. Divine Rose and Olympia are very good for this. Put an off-type friend medal on at the end since it doesn’t get keyblade bonuses anyway. For example, use a friend’s Axel with Divine Rose, or use a friend’s SDG with Olympia. (If you have Ill. Terra or Ill. Sora, it might be more beneficial to use the same-type medal to get the type bonuses!)
0 SP medals are your friends. If you’ve managed to get RAX or TVA, use them. SP goes fast and the chests in the level do not give enough back. If you have Attack Prize Plus, use it.
Edit: BC Mickey (especially guilted) on Olympia is great for this event because of the multiple types of enemies.
Rewards:
The rewards go up to a million points. They include things like AB2, AB1, Magic Mirrors, Cids, Nephew medals, and Chips and Dales. 600k has a 6 star Chip and Dale. 800k has AB2, and 900k has four MM.
The top 5000 get Attack Prize Plus, which, if you don’t have one, is exceptionally useful.
So that’s it. Good luck! Event ends 10/13!
