What is this quest? Main quest, side quest? Where do I start it? Where do I get what? What do I need to do to power up? There's absolutely no information in the game or in the article. Please edit the article and write a detailed guide.
P.S. I had a hard time finding the information in the game. I clicked on the question mark in each event in "Events" and found the one I needed...
It needs to be specified that this is an Event. There's no mention of upgrades in the character list in the game, and in events, it's practically written in small print. After character upgrades in ZZZ and HSR, this is cringe. I accidentally saw information about upgrades in banners, but there was no link to the event. I ended up searching for information for 15-20 minutes, clicking through everything I could find.
