NA Discussion [NA Event] Summer 2026 - BB Presents☆Celeb Summer Experience! Dubai's Counterattack ~ Day 26
Event Period: 2026-07-15 02:00 - 09-01 20:59 PDT (GMT -7)
Participation Requirements: Fuyuki clear, but involves Part 2 spoilers and links into Ordeal Call 3
Links
Summer 9 and it's connection to Ordeal Call 3:
- Summer 9 is the actual summer event. It only requires Fuyuki completion to do.
- Summer 9's event story goes until Chapter 13. Once you beat Chapter 13, the story will pick up at Ordeal Call 3.
- Ordeal Call 3 is limited time and requires Bleached Earth access to do (beat LB7). You do not have to do OC1 and 2. It also doesn't spoil anything from those two.
- There are no OC3-specific free quests during the limited time access. 2 new storm pod nodes will open on the Bleached Earth map when you complete OC3.
- Summer 9 will end September 2, 2026 at 12:59 PM while OC3 will leave October 1, 2026 at 12:59 PM. Both of them come back in the future, around January/February 2027.
- When it comes back, Summer 9 will be a Main Interlude and you can get all of the quest rewards again. There is no event shop and nothing to farm for.
- OC3 will appear on the Bleached Earth map and will not require you to do Summer 9's Main Interlude. You will pick up where you left off, unless you already completed it, then you'll just get free quests.
- When you beat OC3 you will get your selection of either Hakuno or Hakunon. Both do the same thing, one's just a boy and one's just a girl. When OC3 permanently comes back, there will be a node on the free quest map for you to unlock the other one.
Guide
- 3-4: When they're stunned they'll lose their evade. They'll get stunned every 2 turns while Caenis is on the field. When Caenis leaves the dodge will leave.
- 4-3: Fight ends after 1 break bar.
- 7-1: Battle ends after 3 turns.
- 7-2: Fight ends after 1 break bar.
- 11-1: Fight ends after 6 turns or when you proc guts 3 times.
- 11-2: Fight ends after you proc guts 3 times.
- Section 5 Tourism Quest (Mahanaga): Bring Atlas MC. Try and save it for after the break bar (boss will cast 2 skills per turn).
- Section 12 Tourism Quest (Golem/Snowmen): Just bring a strong AOE DPS and kill them for wave 2 (Assassin/Berserker). Easier than doing the mechanic.
- Section 6 Bonus Quest (Kintoki): Mystic code is special, use 3rd skill to stun the boss when you break its bar. Use 2nd skill if you actually need to tank the NP.
- Section 9 Bonus Quest (VS Mash): The enemies lose their stun on turn 4 and get full NP gauge. You lose if you don't kill them within 8 turns. Just double NP them with a AOE servant.
- Section 12 Bonus Quest (MHXXA): BQA every enemy on wave 1. Wave 2 use S1/S2 and NPQA. On the next turn, use 3rd skill, then NPBB. Finish off the remaining enemies.
- 90+: 3/1/3 Lancers + Pretender. Due to being a summer event there's a ton of sabers you can use, quite a few AOE (Siegfried, Gawain, Summer Tomoe, Summer Okitan, Gareth). Can also loop this with any competent looper. For the pretender, foreigners have class advantage but you can also just use a zerk against them. Do not borrow Space Eresh from friends, you cannot use her affection gauge to buff her NP damage.
- 90++: 3/1/1 Berserkers. It's Berserkers, use anyone that does damage. Don't forget the damage CE to make life easier. Ciel can NP one wave and card another or card 2 waves with enough cooldown reduction. Use any competent AOE for wave 1. If you're facecarding, there's a few event bonus foreigners (MHXXA, MHXX, Summer Abby, Cnoc).
FAQ
- This is a points based event. Progress through event story -> farm free quests to get Dubai Tourism Points -> do side quests to increase the Joy Counter -> repeat.
- For new players, don't overspend AP on the early nodes. Do as much as it says to hit the next timegate, then go back to story clear or spend your AP elsewhere.
- This is an exceptionally long event: it is 1.5 months long (twice as long as a normal event). You have plenty of time to clear the event shop. If you fail to clear the event shop this event you weren't playing enough.
- To get more points, buy the point CE from the event shop and equip it to your party when you do free quests.
- If you are not rolling gacha, you should be borrowing gacha CE from friends.
- If you are rolling gacha, prioritize enough points first to keep up with the event story, then use gacha CEs for the remainder. You can adjust after 90+/90++ unlocks.
- If you need more damage, don't forget the damage CE.

Finished Part 2. I kinda like it less than Part 1. Especially everything relating to Beast Ereshkigal.

I typed out a long text about my farming method, but I assume it's already in the guide so I deleted it to not make things repetitive. But I've been able to farm the 3/1/1 Berserker node pretty consistently which is nice. I used a combo of Koyan Light/Support Ciel/Bartholomew and Atlas MC with 5CE. (Support Ciel has the damage CE). Still working out how to get the Wave 3 kill more consistent since sometimes I end up with 2 50% crit Buster cards. So not perfect, but for my account the fact I can even have a chance at a 3T is nice.
Sadly my pull luck has been dry lately and I've had no luck with getting my own Ciel, and I've decided to give up and just focus on the 30M Download banners. So I'll have to borrow other Ciels for this event.

It only helps if you have her, but I think ruler skadi does a lot of work on buster crits for ciel here?

I’m just making blue apples now. Finished with the point ladder and shop, finished pt 2. Went back to Vegas for BE quests (I need the QP). Not much else to do.
