Where to farm Lucky Strikes: Mass Surges and Tubster
Budsquire spawns without limit from Friday to Sunday. Here is how Mass Surges, Tumbler Pods and the Tubster route turn catches into Lucky Strikes, and what it costs.
The short version
- Every catch can trigger a Lucky Strike, so the best farm is wherever you can catch the most Aniimo in the least time.
- Mass Surges are the fastest place to farm Lucky and Super Lucky Strikes for Prismatic Energy.
- Budsquire is the mass-spawn Aniimo of the weekend Mass Surge in Rose Tower Woods, and it spawns continuously in unlimited quantities from Friday through Sunday.
- A Tumbler Anipod captures several clustered wild Aniimo at once, holding up to 10 in a single use during group events.
- Tubster is the recommended Aniimo for farming Prismana repeatedly, and the method needs few resources and no Vein Essence.
Lucky Strikes are a numbers game. Every catch can trigger one, so the more Aniimo you catch, the more chances you get. That single rule decides where you should farm: wherever the game puts the most catchable Aniimo in front of you at once.
Farming lucky catches is also your alternative to spending Vein Essence on nurturing when you want to raise Prismatic Energy and get a Prismana. When to spend Vein Essence has its own guide on this site. This one is about the other road: where to catch in volume, which tools speed it up, and what the grind takes out of you.
Weekend Mass Surges are the fastest farm
Mass Surges of spawning Aniimo are the fastest place to farm Lucky and Super Lucky Strikes for Prismatic Energy. Catching Aniimo during a Mass Surge event can produce both Lucky and Super Lucky catches, and the surge keeps refilling the field, so you spend your time catching rather than searching.
The surges run from Friday to Sunday. During that window the event Prismana spawns in a mass surge too, including the earlier evolution form of the weekly Prismana, such as Melloblum. If you are chasing a specific Prismana, the weekend is when its line is most available. Melloblum itself is covered in its own guide; what matters here is that the weekend surge is where you find it in numbers.
Budsquire in Rose Tower Woods
If you searched for Budsquire, this is where it lives. Budsquire is the mass-spawn Aniimo of the weekend Mass Surge in the Rose Tower Woods event. It spawns continuously in unlimited quantities from Friday through Sunday.
That is what makes it a good Lucky Strike farm. You are not waiting on respawns or hunting for a rare roll. The supply does not run out during the event, so your limit is how fast you can catch and how many Aniipods you brought, not how many Budsquire the woods will give you.
Tumbler Pods catch the crowd
The Tumbler Anipod, also called a Tumbler Pod or spirit cloud, captures multiple clustered wild Aniimo at once. During group events it holds up to 10 in a single use. In a surge where Aniimo bunch together, that turns one throw into many catches, and each of those catches is its own chance at a Lucky Strike.
The surge pays out more than Prismatic Energy. Sparkling Crystals come from Super Lucky Strikes while capturing wild Aniimo and from Mass Surges, where they can be farmed for as long as your Aniipods last. They also turn up in overworld chests. Windborne Stamps come from wild surges as well, alongside daily activities, the Stamp Rush event, defeating Alphas and Hollow Sim battles. A weekend surge session feeds several of your resource pools at once.

The Tubster route for Prismana
Tubster is the recommended Aniimo for farming Prismana repeatedly, including Prismana Melloblum. The method needs few resources and no Vein Essence at all.
That makes it the natural partner to surge farming. Surges are about raw catch volume on the weekend; the Tubster route is the cheap, repeatable way to keep going after Prismana without touching the Vein Essence you would otherwise spend on nurturing.
What the grind costs
Farming in volume is not free. Grinding Outbreaks for low-odds creatures costs money overall, so treat a long chase for one rare result as an expense, not a sure thing.
The practical ceiling on surge farming is your supply of Aniipods. Budsquire does not run out over the weekend, but your pods do, and every Sparkling Crystal you farm from a surge comes only for as long as they last. Plan your weekend around how many you can throw, use Tumbler Pods on clusters so each one counts for more, and lean on Tubster when you want Prismana without paying in Vein Essence.
Where to start
Save your Aniipods for the weekend, head to the Rose Tower Woods Mass Surge, and throw Tumbler Pods into Budsquire clusters to catch as many as you can. Between weekends, use Tubster to keep farming Prismana without spending Vein Essence.
