How to Guarantee Your Exact Sub-Effect (Slime / Apocalypse / Doll Loot)
Subjugation victories in Late April (Slime), Late June (Apocalypse), and Late October (Doll) offer 3 of 8 numbered Evidence parts (#1 Glove = ATK, #2 Armor = HP, #3 Greaves, #4 Boots, #5 Helm = Crit Rate, etc.). Discard any unwanted numbered Evidence from your bag (or skip picking when undesired) so ONLY your target number remains — guaranteeing 100% that exact sub-effect in Late February!
