Turns limited daily Hard Mode sorties into Core Data for the Core Data shop, alongside stage rewards.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Hard Mode Core Data
Campaign → Hard Mode → your highest cleared chapter.
Before you go
- Unlock Hard Mode and clear the chapter you intend to farm.
- Have daily entries remaining.
- Use a fleet capable of completing the selected stage.
- Know what you want to purchase with Core Data, if you are saving toward a shop item.
Farming steps
- Open Hard Mode and select the highest chapter you can clear safely.
- Compare stage rewards within that chapter and select one whose blueprint type is useful, if you have a print target.
- Set a formation that satisfies the stage’s fleet restrictions.
- Complete the stage and collect the result, including its Core Data award.
- Check your Core Data balance and review the Core Data shop for the item you are saving toward.
- Spend Core Data only when the desired purchase is available and fits your plan.
- Repeat on remaining daily entries, adjusting the stage if your blueprint need changes.
- The same chapter can serve both goals: Core Data accumulation and a specific retrofit print hunt.
- Hard Mode entries are limited, so make a quick reward check before each sortie.
Repeat, collect and use
Limited daily farm. Core Data is awarded through clears, but the activity has a daily entry limit; the available amount and shop stock should be checked in-game.
Common mistakes
- Selecting a lower chapter without a reason when a higher one is clearable; compare the current chapter options.
- Ignoring blueprint rewards while farming Core Data; a useful stage can advance both goals.
- Leaving the shop unreviewed; check whether your saved currency can now buy a needed item.
When to stop or switch
Stop after using the day’s entries or reaching the Core Data purchase you were saving for; continue only if another shop item remains a priority.
