Arknights Fantasy in the Mirage Event Schedule
The Arknights Fantasy in the Mirage event will be carried over a full week and here is how the schedule goes, and how you can access it:
Duration: December 11, 2025, 08:00 UTC-7 – December 18, 2025, 03:59 UTC-7 (stages close, but shop lingers until December 21).
Unlock Requirement: Clear Main Theme 1-10.
How to Start: Head to the Terminal and then the Events tab. Stages unlock progressively as you clear them.
Key Feature: No dedicated farming stages are there and the Sweetie (event currency) drops from all main story and supply stages during the event period. You have to prioritize farming high-value mats alongside the Sweetie collection.
Pro Tip: With limited time, focus on event stages first for story and first-clear rewards, then bulk-farm Sweetie in efficient supply stages like RMA70-12 or others for Transmuted Salts/RMA70-12 drops.

Event Stages and Mechanics
This vignette features 8 story stages (FM-1 to FM-8), each with Normal, Challenge Mode (CM), and potentially S-mode variants. Sanity costs range from 20-30 per run for standard vignettes.
And the mechanics here include:
Blight/Polluted Paddies: Tainted water damages operators so make sure to use water pumps to purify or operators like Ulpianus to ignore it.
Mice Spawns: These are disrupt setups so make sure to predict and block them.
Black/White Tiles: Match colors for buffs/debuffs.
High Ranged Tiles: Affect skill targeting.
Key Challenges and Possibilities
Stage | Key Challenges | Low-Rarity Clear Possible? |
FM-1 | Basic intro to blight | Yes (1-3★ solo possible) |
FM-2 | Mouse leaks in CM | Yes (Estelle solo video available) |
FM-3 | Bottlenecks | Yes (Estelle solo) |
FM-4 | Tricky wallbreakers/cannons | Yes (2-3 ops, no limited) |
FM-5 | RNG-dependent solo | Yes (2-3 ops) |
FM-6 | Similar to Windy Grove rerun | Easy nuke (modern DPS) |
FM-7 | Ramp-up difficulty | Yes (3 ops, no limited) |
FM-8 | Final boss (easy, no shields) | Yes (Ascalon/Nearl low-rarity CM) |
Challenge Modes: Extra Sweetie and operator EXPs are there . All clearable with low-rarity squads (3★ or lower for early ones) with 1-4 ops, no 6★ needed.
Clearing Tips
Here are some tips over clearing these stages so you can do it efficiently:
Early Stages (FM-1-3): Estelle solos for trust farm.
Mid (FM-4-5): 2 ops minimum; block mice, pump water early.
Late (FM-6-8): Nuke boss with Thorns, Projekt Red, or Leizi (event unit). Retreat for Sanity refund if stuck.
AFK Setups: Use auto-deploy squads with strong sustains like Hung/Texas/Silence.
Mastery Priorities (for event-relevant ops): use Arknights Leizi the Thunderbringer with S1M3 skill and give priority for this one for SP reduction, hover placement. And then use Record Keeper with S2M3 as this operator heal on hit.
Rewards and Sweetie Farming
So what rewards are there with clears? These are what you get:
First Clears: Sweetie + materials (e.g., RMA70-12, Transmuted Salts rare drops).
Repeatable: Sweetie from every story/supply clear.
Total Farmable Sweetie: Unlimited (all stages drop during event), but cap your needs at shop priorities. Aim for 500-1000+ depending on wants.
Bonus: 18 total operator EXP from CM clears.
Farm Strategy: Run supply stages for dual rewards. If Sanity is low,top up Arknights with Originium Prime via LootBar (trusted site for instant, cheap refills) and then convert to potions for non-stop Sweetie grinding.
