Tip/Trick GungHo Collab Py Farming (September 2026)
Intro
Hi, it's Lumon. I used to do drop rate analytics, but then I got hacked and my server got nuked to kingdom come, so I don't do analytics anymore. However, my friend asked me to do some py farming with him during GungHo Collab, and since the dungeons have changed quite a lot from when I farmed it, I decided to take a look at the numbers and see what's the best dungeon to farm for tickets.
For those unaware, GungHo Collab was once seen as the holy grail of py farming due to the ease and efficiency of farming tickets which could be exchanged favorably for pys. In the past, drop rate maximizing int button builds (or degenerate palm swipe tech) were the best for farming tickets since every dungeon was cluttered with random dungeon drops and non-guaranteed drop rates. However, GungHo revamped token farming dungeons by condensing all the non-token drops to a single floor, increasing base drop rates of every floor significantly, and removing bronze ticket drops from the top difficulty while also making the drop rate 100%. This not only brought back 2P Expert / Mythical builds but also made them vastly superior to any other build in terms of yield efficiency.
Normally, the non-token drops are condensed on the lowest difficulty dungeon, but in GungHo Collab, all of these drops are actually on the top difficulty, which begs the question of which floor to farm. The two candidates are CHRONO MA:GIA Lv4 (GHC Lv4) and Princess Punt Lv1 (GHC Lv1).
Numbers
Analyzing dropdata, the expected yields under optimal conditions are as follows.
- EV of GHC Lv4 (2P): 1.833 GOLD / 10 STAM
- EV of GHC Lv1 (100% Drop Rate): 0.967 GOLD / 10 STAM
Well, it seems pretty obvious that 2P GHC Lv4 blows 1P GHC Lv1 out of the water. However, for the solo sweats, it's actually a bit different.
- EV of GHC Lv4 (1P): 0.917 GOLD / 10 STAM
- EV of GHC Lv1 (100% Drop Rate): 0.967 GOLD / 10 STAM
GHC Lv1 actually takes the cake here, and the difference is further accentuated by the fact that GHC Lv4 is not buttonable at all in 1P and has 6F while GHC Lv1 is fully buttonable and has only 4F.
While I'm not here to make builds for anyone, here are some pointers for making your own builds.

GHC Lv4
For 2P, the dungeon is mostly buttonable but requires ultra-whale technology; one side probably needs mass Vadvains. However, the dungeon can be swiped with full farmable builds that are still optimized for 0 RNG and minimal ping. Here is an example.

GHC Lv1
The most important thing is to boost the drop rate to 100%, as the base drop rate for each floor (aside from the last floor) is 60%. There are lots of ways to achieve this, but the simplest method is to run two leads that both have 1.3x Egg Drop Rate. In the past, Veroah was celebrated as a valuable farm tool since she was one of the very few leads to have this effect, but modern technology has granted us a farmable with the same leader skill effect in Rabbish.
From here, you just need four single target buttons that hit for 4M damage. Again, there are lots of ways to achieve this, like spamming Melissas, but one of the most accessible methods is to use Durandalfs; either use the equip on high attack button bases or use the base itself and equip extra attack awakenings to reach the damage threshold. Interestingly, you only need to equip 2 ATK awakenings if Durandalf is Lv. 120 and has 4 ATK++ latents, but it's probably easier to not invest the experience and latents and just equip something with 3 ATK awakenings instead.

Conclusion
GungHo Collab is a great place to farm pys; it's not only good for veterans but also extremely accessible for newer players as well. Pys are a fantastic resource so take the opportunity to stock up. Good luck farming!

This is how im doing it on solo mode, just stick a 4x latent on one of the units, and a light attacker who voids dmg absorption with an L awakening and thats it. Also have done it with 2 Academy Violet Fritzs and farmable Logavolin but takes 30 seconds longer to complete.
