What kind of event is it?
A mini-game for cooking hot pot at Simmer Hot Pot restaurant in Lumina Square. You have to choose ingredients, use the effects of food cards and catch products from the boiling pot to score the target number of points. No battles. No choice of agents. Your squad is absolutely irrelevant.
Ñîîáùåíèÿ: 10 Interlude level 20 + Interlude of Chapter 1 of the main story. Low entry threshold-most active players met these conditions a long time ago. New accounts will achieve both requirements in a few hours of regular play.

How a mini-game works
Before each round, choose ingredients and food cards, and then catch the products from the boiler in a limited number of attempts to activate the effects and accumulate points. All the depth lies in the sequence of use of the cards-the order of action is more important than most players think.
Effects of Food Cards (Full List)
| Map of food | Effects |
|---|---|
| Х о т-г о д б у | Find 1 Legendary Food Map |
| Cheese Boo Sandwich | Find 2 Rare Food Cards |
| A delicious boo-burger | Find 1 available rare + food map |
| Fried Pelmen-bu | Number of random legendary card in inventory increases by 1 |
| Б а о б у | The number of rare cards in the inventory increases by 1 |
| Stewed beef with boo noodles | Max. cards in inventory +1 |
| Б у-ice cream | All the food in the pot comes together when it is picked up. |
| Strawberry sweet boo | Attempts to draw +1 |
| Filed Boo | The size of the floor increases |
| М о к о-б у | Pulling 2 identical products adds 1 more same product to the boiler |
| С о д о в а я-б у | Pulling out ≥ 4 products adds 1 product in inventory to the boiler |
| К у к у к у р у з о-б у | At the beginning of the turn turns 2 ordinary items into premium items |
Optimal map sequence (community verified)
Phase 1-Early rounds: Begin with Strawberry Banbu + Picked BanbuAn additional attempt to catch plus an increased towel creates a multiplier effect-you will collect significantly more food per round than using any of these cards individually. This is the basis.
Phase 2-Middle rounds: Add: С о д о-Б а б уThe threshold of ≥ 4 food units becomes consistently achievable with a large towel. The most common mistake is to use Sodo Banba. п р е д Packed Banbu: Without a large towel, you will often catch 2 - 3 items, and the effect will not work.
Phase 3-Late rounds: Use a combination Corn Banbu + Banbu with Fried PelmenesCorn Banbu turns ordinary items into premium items, and Banbu with fried dumplings increases the number of your legendary cards. This maximizes your potential score in the final rounds.
Bonus: 100 Banbu-ice cream goes well with stuffed Banbu-grouping of ingredients allows your large polovnik to capture a dense group of items instead of scattered ones.
Practical Advice: If the end of a step is not displayed in the interface, restart the client before trying again. Repeated running without restarting may result in the progress not being saved properly.

|---|---|
| П о л и х р о м | 1 100 |
| The Original Chip | 40 |

Hidden milestones that many players miss.
The Blind Zone of Taste
360 Polychroms are hidden in a tab that most players never open. The "Fine Taste"(I),(II) and (III) open on the same schedule as the "Search for Freshness" stages, but appear in a completely different section of the event interface. Players who immediately jump to the mini-game often complete the entire event without ever looking at this tab.
Decision: Every time you enter the game for an event, first open the "Delicious Taste" and pick up everything available. Milestones automatically track your overall progress in the event-active play is almost unnecessary.
Awards in the mailbox after story chapters
After each story chapter of the event is completed, check the in-game mail. Additional polychroms come there and are not displayed in the main event interface. It is easy to skip if you are used to ignoring mail during events.
Materials for Side Tasks
Performing side tasks of the event provides overclocking materials with a very profitable time-to-reward ratio. They are not tracked in the main interface of the milestones, so players who skip additional content miss them completely.
Quick check: Open the event menu right now. Are there any unclaimed items in the "Fine Taste" tab? These are polychromes that you almost left unnoticed.
Priority Guide in Event Store
Don't waste your currency thoughtlessly. Here's the procedure:
- Boiling boiler (Grade A Amplification) - Buy first, with no exceptions. Free A rank amplificator on "Stuffing", which would otherwise require a twist or crafting.
- Amplification energy module (× 12) - A useful resource for many agents. Collect all 12 pieces after you purchase an amplifier.
- Journal of Senior Investigator (x36) - Material of experience agent. Less urgent, but take away if there is still currency.
- Denny and Ordinary Materials - Low priority. Spend the remaining currency here so that it doesn't burn, but don't let the store distract you from going through the stages themselves.
Polychromes Cannot be purchased in the event store - There are no workarounds. There is no daily limit on earnings; you can access content as quickly as time limits allow.

How many polychromes does this event give? Only 1,100 - 540 for "Search for Freshness", 360 for "Fine Taste", the rest for event missions and mail awards. None of this can be bought in the store; everything requires passing through content.
What to buy at the event store first? The Boiling Boiler Amplifier, no questions. Then the Energy Modules of the Amplifier (× 12), then the Senior Investigator Journals (× 36). Spend everything until May 5.
Are there any awards that you can miss? Yes. Delicious Taste milestones are on a separate interface tab, which makes up 360 Polychromes, which are easy to miss at all. The rewards from the mail after the story chapters are also often overlooked. Neither requires additional gameplay-only attention when navigating.
Do you need specific agents for this event? No. The mini hot-pot game is completely independent of your combat squad.
Can I end the event by starting at the end of April? Yes. All stages open by March 27, so everything is already available. Full completion-all 1,100 Polychromes and Boiling Pot-is achievable in one long game session.
Should Sodo-Banba be used early? Only after the big bowl effect of stuffed Banbu is activated. Without it, you will often catch only 2 - 3 items, and the Sodo-Banbu effect will not work.
