CICADAMATA ULTIMATA Guide - Fastest Way to Farm 33,333 Threats
Quick answer
ULTIMATA is the long kill grind. Combine it with DMND practice, Sphere Rush attempts and level farming instead of farming it cold.
ULTIMATA requires dispatching 33,333 THREATS.
Quick Answer
Do not farm ULTIMATA as your first cleanup target. Let kills accumulate through DMND attempts, Sphere Rush clears, IT'S TRICKY practice and CICADA level farming, then finish the remaining count on your fastest dense enemy route.
Best Time To Farm
| Stage of cleanup | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Story clears | Ignore ULTIMATA and learn routes |
| Terminal and Murmur cleanup | Ignore unless enemies are on the route |
| DMND and IT'S TRICKY | Let kills build naturally |
| Level 50 farming | Good time to finish the grind |
| Last achievement remaining | Run dense enemy loops repeatedly |
Efficient Grind Rules
- Prefer short routes with many enemies close to the main path.
- Avoid reset-heavy routes; consistency matters more than one perfect loop.
- Combine with CICADA Level Farm so kills and XP progress together.
- If you still need DMND, use DMND Point Farming and let ULTIMATA advance in the background.
