Fastest Route to Farm 40,000,000 Cells for Shimo
Reaching 40 Million Cells from scratch requires an optimized farming loop. Follow this three-step grinding method:

Use Heisei Godzilla or Fire Rodan. Fire Rodan's supersonic flight speeds allow you to sweep through suburban power grids and low-tier factories with zero downtime.
Step 2: Farm During 2X Weekend Events
Kaiju Alpha regularly runs 2X Cell boost weekends. Combining a 2X event with server-wide boss raid assists can earn between 8M to 12M Cells per hour.
