[Mahoyaku] Great Success ★ All 999 Granvelle Castle Guide

[tsuchidaruma]

An all-999 guide for fellow Mitile oshis!

Hi hi hi! Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. It's your local Mitile oshi, bringing a new all-999 guide for fellow budding sages! After my previous Mitile Cannon guide, I thought long and hard about the absence of an English guide for making an all-999 Mitile. It fills me with great sadness to know that, well, there wasn't any, so I made one myself! I hope this guide can light the path of fellow Mitile oshis out there. Even if that isn't the case, I still get a peace of mind knowing that there's an entry about Mitile anyway ♥

Now that we got the intro out of the way, let's start with the requirements! There are a few things to ensure that this strategy works. Those are:

1. 4 daiseikou cards (or a minimum of 30% daiseikou rate in total)
2. All 5 attributes (colours) are present in a party.

Yes, that's difficult, isn't it. Unfortunately, us Mitile oshis need to play a lil' longer and spin more gachas before we are able to get an all-999 Mitile. But with a bit of dedication, luck and yen (lol), we can get through this! Hence this guide is for those who have spun a bit, like... rank 100+ and you've had enough of playing see-saw at Bennett Bar. (Which is completely understandable, btw)

I. Granvelle Castle Overview

There are several things of note in Granvelle:

CONVERSATION

Mitile's smile is so cute

Conversation is the main feature of Granvelle. As you train, the Conversation meter will fill up according to the number of training partners ("cards" henceforth) you've trained with! For example, if you've trained with 2 other cards in a turn, then the gauge will fill up by 2 bars. Fill up all five bars and then you can activate the gimmick: Conversation! Conversing with someone does two things:
1) it allows you to increase their affection (❤) meter by a lot AND
2) fill up the attribute level gauge!

Increasing a card's affection meter will increase their chances of skill activation and training participation. This will allow you to activate more daiseikous/great successes. Increasing the attribute level will also increase the amount of parameter gained. The trick in Granvelle is just spamming daiseikous like there's no tomorrow<, so raise those two meters up!

Once the meters have been sufficiently raised, you can stop Conversing with the cards and train normally. A sufficient point would be: a minimum of 50% ❤-meter (orange colour) and lv 4 for all attributes. Once this has been achieved, many of the cards will train with you and the daiseikous should be activating every 3-4 turns. Train normally until you get that all-999 chibi!


GRANVELLE-SPECIAL ATTRIBUTE LV INCREMENT

Please ignore the text. I forgot to take a pict explaining this part, oops.

Do you see those fire, sun, etc attribute icons, and how those are being partially filled? Fill those up and the corresponding attribute level will increase. Granvelle has a unique way of raising the attribute levels: it increases alongside the corresponding card's participation. For example: Mitile (pride) and Lennox (relax) participate in a Cool training session. This will cause the pride and relax gauge to fill up, but not cool. On the flipside, if you're lacking an attribute (say, passion) in a party, then your passion level will be stuck at 1 forever. Thus it is recommended that you bring all five attributes when training at Granvelle Castle.

Make use of this special gimmick to increase your training levels cleverly!


SR & ABOVE TRAIT GAIN

Having all 5 cards participate in a training session will get you an SR (silver-bordered) or SSR (gold-border) trait. The trait given is random! That's a nice boost, so keep this in mind while playing~

Tldr:
Make sure a lot of cards participate in a training session and you're good!
Activate the Converse gimmick!
Raise each card's affection meter!
Raise your training levels!
Bring more people to each training session!
Rinse & repeat until everyone's ❤-meter is orange and all training levels are at 4.
Then Train normally until you get that all-999 chibi.

II. TEAM SETUP

The trick to successfully raising an all-999 chibi in Granvelle is by spamming daiseikous.

The trick to successfully raising an all-999 chibi in Granvelle is by spamming daiseikous!!!

And the team that can deliver that result is...

Good boys team!

Four great-success cards and one lv 100 stamina-recovery card. Make sure that all 5 attributes are present! For a list of all great success cards, please see here.

ITEMS: 3 onigiris are enough. I added a ramen just because there's a lot of it in my inventory, lol. Using an onigiri will save you a turn and therefore more daiseikou activation chance. PS: only use these onigiris in part 3 and 4.

III. PHASES OF TRAINING

Basically, this entire guide are summed up in those two images. Mitile's smile is so adorable, haa ♥

More affection means more skill activation chances. And more skill activation = more great successes = more parameters gained! And so our first priority is to increase the cards' affection meter to orange (50%). Once you get there, the cards will be participating left and right, increasing the attribute levels and activating their skills more frequently! Therefore, our training phases are:

1. Increase affection meter to 50% and attribute lv to 4
2. Spam daiseikous.

Easy, right? RNG-reliant and not very brainy... lol...I've no idea how this guide can be this long.

However, the key in making this work is all in the fine details! Take your time raising the affection levels and your strategy will crumble. Not activating enough daiseikous by the end of part 3 will also spell your demise. After experimenting numerous times, I've noticed 2 nice goals and 2 benchmarks for this strategy to work well. Those are:

1. Increase the cards' affection to roughly 40% by the time part 1 ends.
2. Increase all training levels to 4 by part 2, 3 turns left.
3. Get all parameters to A rank (500) by the end of part 2.
4. Get all parameters to S rank (750) by the end of part 3.

Whew, tight schedule! But yes, if you've failed to fulfil (1) and (2), then you would need to pray really hard for your daiseikous to pull through later on. Falling short of (3) is risky. Not fulfilling (4) usually yields a non-999 chibi.

Let's see how it's done!

IV. EXECUTION

Step 1: Increase the affection meters

Pick the option which enable you to bring as many cards as you can! Training with 1~3 cards is common during this Part.

Our first priority is to increase the affection meters as fast as possible. We do this by picking the options which enable us to train with the most number of cards! Yellow border (see Rustica, Mitile) indicates a slim chance of skill activation (& therefore participation), whereas red border (Lennox) indicates a high chance of skill activation. If you see an option which has 3 or more yellow border, then select it (lol). Don't be discouraged if only 1 card participates. It's... actually a rather common occurrence. Keep trying!

Once the Conversation gauge is filled up, talk to one of your cards to increase their affection and attribute meters.

Thinking about Rustica as The Happy Prince makes me cry

Talk to anyone! I recommend choosing the card which has 2 things: the highest amount of daiseikou percentage and the least amount of attribute level. In this case, Rustica or Mitile works. This will allow the cards to activate their skills (daiseikous) more often and increase the overall parameter gained. After you've selected your first card, move on to the next. Evenly increase everyone's affection meter as you go along!

At the end of Part 1, your stats should look roughly like this:

A minimum of B-rank (300) parameters across all attributes and roughly 35% ~ 40% affection meter for all cards. Falling short of it is fine. Let's move on to part 2!

Step 2: Meet the goals!

Goal met! + Delicious red backgrounds!

See those red backgrounds? That happens when everyone's affections are at 50%. Our daiseikous have a high chance of activating there, so aim for it by part 2, 3 turns left. Continue to choose the options which will give you the most number of participants. And if there's an attribute that falls short of lv 4, pick an option which can raise it! We've got a deadline to meet ★

Step 3: Train normally and spam daiseikous

Once you've fulfilled the conditions, ignore the Converse gimmick and train normally. Spam those daiseikous! By the end of part 2, your results should look like this:

My brain fizzled and typed "Part" as "Turn"

My recommended benchmark is having A-rank (500) parameters in everything. If you fail this, then... it's unlikely for the result to be an all-999 chibi. It would still come close, tho, so you can try and proceed forward.

Continue to train normally and spam daiseikous in part 3. Also, this is a good Part to use onigiris, so consume them as needed!

By the end of part 3, your result should look like this:

Again, continue to train normally and spam daiseikous until you get all-999 result!

Cute.... floofy tail wag... mm ♥

An all-999 Mitile! Yaaayy~ I hope this would be useful to you and that's all for the guide!

TLDR;
・　Party composition: all 5 attributes present
・　Party composition: a minimum of 30% daiseikou chance, +10 stamina recov
・　Raise the affection meter to 50%
・　Raise the attribute lv to 4
・　Always pick the option which enable you to activate daiseikous
・　Nom nom onigiris
・　CHAAAARGEE

Yes, it really... relies heavily on daiseikous. Can't run from it here.

Other things of note:
I have seen people recommending a 3-daiseikou/2-stamina recovery setup, but uhm, I tried it numerous times and had failed to give an all-999 chibi. Falling short of 30% daiseikou chance makes it awfully difficult to create one imo. but hey, ultimately we're manipulating an RNG, so choose what works for you!

Many people have also recommended the use of magical (flower) herb alongside magic (large) biscuits to increase the chance of daiseikous. I've tried to use those as well, but 3 stamina recovery items yield a more consistent all-999 chibi with this setup. Perhaps the magic biscuit thing is more suitable for 3 daiseikous/2 stamina recov party? Anyways, this is all personal gacha result preference, so... yeah.
