Gold Clash Event Guide: Double Fons in Pink Paws Heist

Event Overview

Detail	Info
Event Period	July 16 – July 30, 04:59 (UTC+8)
Duration	14 days
Effect	Double Fons earned in Pink Paws Heist

Gold Clash doubles the Fons earned from Pink Paws Heist runs. Unlike the Stamina Recharge event, Gold Clash does not double the stamina cost — you get twice the Fons for the same stamina investment, making it the best Fons farming window in Version 1.2.

Event is live (July 16–30). 9 days remaining as of July 21. Farm Pink Paws Heist now to build your Fons stockpile before Iroi’s banner on July 29.

Community note (July 21): A popular Reddit thread this week raised the point that players would prefer a 2× Fons cap increase rather than a 2× efficiency boost. The distinction matters: the current event doubles Fons earned per run, but the weekly Fons cap from stamina activities remains unchanged. If you have already hit your weekly stamina reward cap, the Gold Clash bonus does not apply to those rewards — only to direct Heist Fons drops.

Why Fons Matters

Fons is the primary currency for:

Use Case	Approximate Cost
Character leveling (per level)	Varies by level
Arc (weapon) upgrading	High
Skill upgrades	Moderate
Module (Cartridge) upgrading	Moderate

Running out of Fons is one of the most common bottlenecks for players who pull new characters. Gold Clash is the best opportunity to build a Fons stockpile before Iroi’s banner arrives on July 29.

Pink Paws Heist Basics

Pink Paws Heist is the primary Fons farming activity in NTE. It consumes City Stamina and rewards Fons + Beetle Coins. The activity is available from the City menu and scales in difficulty and rewards with your Hunter Level.

During Gold Clash, each Pink Paws Heist run rewards 2× Fons at the same stamina cost. This is the most efficient Fons farming in the game during this period.

How to Maximize Gold Clash

Use Stamina Potions during this event. Any Stamina Potions used during Gold Clash yield twice the Fons compared to using them outside the event. If you have potions saved, July 16 – July 30 is the optimal window.

Run the highest difficulty available. Higher difficulty Pink Paws Heist runs reward more Fons per stamina. The double multiplier amplifies the difference between difficulty tiers, so running the highest difficulty you can clear efficiently is more important during Gold Clash than at other times.

Target 50,000+ Fons stockpile before Iroi. If you plan to pull Iroi (July 29) and level her to max, you’ll need approximately 40,000–60,000 Fons depending on her starting level. Use Gold Clash to pre-farm this amount.

Gold Clash vs. Stamina Recharge

Both events boost your farming efficiency, but they work differently:

Event	Effect	Period
Stamina Recharge	2× City Stamina efficiency in Hethereau Hobbies	July 13–20
Gold Clash	2× Fons from Pink Paws Heist	July 16–30

The Stamina Recharge event ends July 20, so there is a brief overlap window (July 16–20) where both events are active simultaneously. During this overlap, prioritize Pink Paws Heist runs to benefit from both effects.

Event Timeline

With Iroi’s banner launching July 29, the Gold Clash event is perfectly timed to help players stockpile Fons before pulling and leveling a new S-Class character. Plan your stamina usage accordingly:

• July 16–20: Both Gold Clash and Stamina Recharge active — maximum efficiency window
• July 20–29: Gold Clash only — continue farming Pink Paws Heist
• July 29: Iroi banner launches — spend your Fons stockpile on leveling
• July 30: Gold Clash ends
