Not really; this revival is perfectly on schedule, 1 year after her initial release. She had a weird early one during the summer though.

That's what was throwing me off, the summer rerun.  Thanks.  So we should have two months till Alexia then

There were over 100k shards left this time, but keep in mind that this MDR had the same amount of shards available as an MD, so if it were a normal MDR (5.4k shards every 2 hrs), then there would've been 0 shards left.

Did MDR change, I thought it was 4500 per round not 5400 which would have still had 9761 left if my math is right

Yes, I forgot about that as well, but it was increased many months ago, from 4500 to 5400.

It would be correct if the shard count was the only change, but the timer also changed from 120 minutes per refill to 80 minutes per refill.

So:

- Original MDR: 4500 x 24 (Every 120 minutes for 2 days) = 108k shards

- Updated MDR: 5400 x 24 (Every 120 minutes for 2 days, +20% shards per refill) = 129.6k shards

- This specific MDR: 9000 x 36 (Every 80 minutes for 2 days, another +3600 shards per refill, on par with MD) = 324k shards

That's +194.4k shards compared to the usual MDR, so having just over 100k left means it was still pretty successful (more shards were collected than for a typical MDR, which typically ends with 0 shard remaining; that's a +60% or +70% increase for the collected shards). But it's not a fair comparison, since pretty much all previous iterations were limited by the amount of shards available.

Nope; Alexa was the 3rd mythic girl, and has already been revived once. The second round of revivals hasn't started yet (Except for another surprise summer revival for Bunna, last year as well). So we don't know when Estelle, Alexa, Matcha... will be revived. Maybe Bunna will be revived before all of them as well, since her 2nd revival was off-schedule.

In two months, it should be Agate's turn.

Yeah, it changed last July 20th, 2022, during the first SE, right before D Titania was revived early (7/30/2022), in patch notes #29, then we had 9 MDRs w/ 5.4k shards every 2 hrs (D Titania to S Lupa's Mom).

Like Liliat said, this means her shards would've dropped to 0, if this were a normal MDR.  Except that every MDR has 0 shards left anyway, and this is the first MDR of it's kind (might be the last too; bugged?), so it can't be compared to them.  Maybe compared to an MD though, since they have the same amount of shards, but in 2 days vs. 3. 

In total, players gained 197,239 of her shards this time (324k-117.7k), or at least that many drops (SP is confusing).  A normal MDR (w/ the 20% increase) has just 129.6k shards.  197,239 / 129,600 = 1.52.  Meaning 52% more shards were obtained than a normal MDR.  I illustrated some of this in the chart I shared last Sunday.

I double-checked the shard amounts, if this is indeed the official new MDR format.  It's as if the MD was compressed into 2 days, since the shard drop frequency was reduced from 120 min, to 80 min intervals.  That's 33% faster than an MD, but w/ the same shard amounts.  324k total shards (MD), instead of 129.6k shards (MDR).
