I somehow missed the reply to my comment until now: re: Winter 2019, if you weren't prepared by then for the difficulty of your choice with enough good SPFs, you drop difficulties. I did get my sole FCM in Winter 2019, so obviously I did invest quite a few screws in SPFs (mostly made, BTW, with ChitoChiyo - it also took me a little bit to get Mizuho), and clearing certain other quests that have come available since then, since if you only had base SPFs, good luck on higher difficulties. My priorities were based on my fleet, my equips, my capabilities, my experiences, and my (lack of) farming luck. I based my choice, when this quest was introduced post-Fall 2016, on my experiences in that event, and how all of the above was at that time. Considering that I only have three Taiteis now thanks to special extra ways (second Taitei was from the infamous Spring 2018 mini-event, third was from a time-limited extra drops on regular maps for Akitsushima before Early Fall 2018, where I made getting her a priority), I still don't regret my choice - but I also don't necessarily say it is for everyone, merely that everyone understand fully what their options are.
