'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Valentine's seasonal event, and a rerun of the Valentine's Day 2018 event. Like other reruns, the event features a number of additional rewards. This rerun retains the lowered chocolate count of 20,000 required to meet the event goal, and again resets collected chocolate for those who previously participated in a past run of the event. The game mode changes once again applies to all game modes, but there is now a toggle to make the seasonal changes optional.

This event is a rerun of [[Chocolate for the Sweet Gods|the original event]] from 2018, which had also previously received reruns [[Chocolate for the Sweet Gods (2019 Rerun)|in 2019]] and [[Chocolate for the Sweet Gods (2021 Rerun)|in 2021]].
==Overview==
''{{Ca|Sweet Breaker}} gathers 4 of the Sweet Gods (herself, {{Ca|Tomomo (Sweet Eater)|Tomomo}}, {{Ca|Saki}} and {{Ca|QP}}) to compete in a competition to see who can receive the most chocolate for Valentine's Day, declaring that the one who gathers the most will become the King of the Sweet Gods. She then says that if she wins, she will [[QP Shooting - Dangerous!!|ban pudding]] and [[Miracle Red Bean Ice Cream|red bean ice-cream]], prompting the other 3 Sweet Gods into action. The biggest problem is that QP, being a dog, will have a lot of trouble with chocolate! Will QP be able to stop Sweet Breaker's malicious plan and protect pudding?!''

The goal of the event is to collect 20000 pieces of {{Chocolate}} from matches from the ground, enemies, or other players to complete the event campaign.

<div style="margin-left:10px;">
In games during the event, {{chocolate}} appears across the board every chapter through the Chocolate Frenzy field event. Chocolate can be collected by passing over the panel where they are placed or by defeating now chocolate-colored enemies in {{Panel|Encounter}} and {{Panel|Boss}} panels. When a player defeats another player, they will steal half of their held chocolate.

When a player has collected at least 500 {{chocolate}}, they may travel to their {{Panel|Home}} space to store them, preventing them from being stolen. A player may only earn up to 9,999 pieces of chocolate per game, and the Chocolate Frenzy field event will stop being performed after 50 chapters.

Chocolate appears in both singleplayer and online games, as well as all game modes (Normal, Co-op, Bounty Hunt, and Campaign).

The event also includes a special event-only card that appears in the center deck, {{Ci|Sweet Battle!}}, which passively increases the amount of chocolate gathered and helps take more chocolate from other players when used in Battle. A total of 6 copies are added per game.

<div style="margin-left:10px;">[[File:Val2018 choco00.png|100px|right]]
Since the player already gathers chocolate quickly, trying to create a method to gain the most amount of chocolate possible is not necessary because most players will reach the necessary amount with ample time to spare. An easy way to gather a lot of chocolate per match is to do as it follows: 
*As {{chocolate}} is able to spawn on {{Panel|Ice}} panels, more {{chocolate}} can be gathered in one roll by increasing the amount of frozen panels on the board. 
*The [[Frost Cave]] map has the most frozen panels of any board, and the {{Freeze}} event just adds to them. 
*Getting {{Sprint}} increases how many spaces one can travel in one turn, further increasing how many chocolate-covered panels one can pass. 
*Choosing {{Battlefield}} and playing a high ATK character helps maximize the chocolate received from enemies.

|-|Event Goal=
<div style="margin-left:10px;">
The goal of this event is to collect 20,000 pieces of {{Chocolate}}. It should be noted that the icon is not a global counter, meaning it only applies to the player. This may seem daunting at first, but a single game can average around 2,000 to 5,000 pieces of {{chocolate}}. This can be done either in singleplayer or online games, as well as any game mode. If done in singleplayer, pressing the Control or Shift keys to speed up the game will cause a penalty to be applied to the chocolate total received at the end of the game.
