As far as the 15 DS players go-- in previous events like en garde, those guys are what made it easy to get a decent/good daemon. If this event keeps going the way it is, I think they'll stick around throughout the whole thing. I've been hitting those guys a lot, too. :D

If you're at 2882, I think it's worth it to try and rank... but Ikutachi is a pretty popular card, so I imagine the last hour rush to get him on Wednesday morning might push you out if you're extremely close to the cutoff. :( On the other hand, he'd be a great card to have if you can manage him! If you're worried about it, though, you should save those items up for solo conquest, and aim for the lvl 80 card (if Zynga doesn't change things, that card's always a 5*-- I got my first one last solo conquest event with Befana with relative ease!)

You're at a great rank for being new and only level 39! If you've got a feeling you won't make rankings, don't spam your items and save them for the next event, instead. :D Free players have had it really rough lately... you'll need all the items you can get, haha. The whales can get scary fierce in the last few hours of an event, so I won't be surprised if I don't get Ikutachi either LOL.
