· While efficient for collection, the difficulty is very high, requiring you to clear 6 stages consecutively with the same team.
· If you don't have a stable clearing team, it's more efficient to farm 'Evolution Matatabi' rather than attempting this challenge unnecessarily.

· Rather than using Matatabi indiscriminately, it's important to decide which characters to prioritize for evolution.
· By determining the purpose, such as for Great Cyclone stages, Cyclone stages, or Matatabi farming, and evolving characters to their Third Form accordingly, you can reduce Matatabi waste.

Category	Recommended Characters (Example)
Rare Characters	Cat Hopping Cat Monk Cat Esthetician
Super Rare Characters	Standing Cat Ota-Cat Cat Surfer

· To efficiently collect Matatabi, there are methods you should avoid. Be careful not to waste them with incorrect methods.

Category	Details
Matatabi Item Gacha	You can obtain Matatabi using Cat Tickets, but the efficiency is very low as XP and other items are mixed in. It is much more advantageous to use Cat Tickets for the Cat Gacha.
Immediately Evolving Matatabi Seeds into Fruits	Matatabi seeds themselves are often used as evolution materials. Especially for Rainbow Matatabi seeds, acquisition opportunities are rare, so it's best to evolve them only when necessary.
Evolving Gold Matatabi Seeds into Fruits	Gold Matatabi seeds are currently very precious with almost no means of acquisition. It is recommended to keep them in seed form rather than evolving them into fruits.

· Ancient Matatabi and seeds are special evolution materials primarily used for evolving characters that counter Ancient enemies.
· The basic method for Ancient Matatabi is to collect 5 Ancient Matatabi seeds and evolve them into a fruit.
· The 'Evolution Ancient Matatabi' stage is unlocked after clearing all of the Legend Story 'Perfect Lich' and appears as a guerrilla stage.
· After clearing stage 1 of this stage, an EX stage will appear with a 100% chance, where you can obtain Ancient Matatabi (1% drop) or Ancient Matatabi seeds (100% drop).
· The EX stage is randomly selected from 7 types specialized for each attribute, so if it's difficult to deal with all EX stages, it can be a strategy to give up on certain attribute stages.

· By collecting 5 Matatabi seeds, you can evolve them into 1 Matatabi fruit.
· Tap 'Storage' at the bottom of the Cat Base, then tap the 'Matatabi' icon in the upper right.

· Basic 5-color Matatabi seeds can rarely evolve into Rainbow Matatabi.

· To put it simply, there is no way to revert Matatabi fruits back into seeds.
· Once seeds are evolved into fruits, they cannot be reverted, so you must decide carefully.

· In particular, basic 5-color Matatabi seeds can be efficiently collected through the 'Evolution Matatabi' stage.
