Get to their original max level first, then clear the fate episode that come after it.

It's called Strike Time. I nicknamed all raids done in this period, "Strike Raid" (totally not Kingdom Hearts ref).

It's because most of strong chara is Human race (and later, Racist Dagger can be upgraded to include Erune race, which, unfortunately, also holds some of the best charas). It's fine if one of your frontline chara (particularly a defensive one) doesn't benefit from it.

As long as you can spend them on something, yes. There is usually event loot pickup period.
