Ugh, there's so much happening and so much to discuss... Couldn't even get to it all in a timely manner.

This month is going to be elemental attribute-themed, apparently. PVE is going to be power-themed which means you'll need strong magic medals (power medals also work well). The skill is worth trying for, too.

Event quests are speed-themed which means you'll be fighting magic enemies. This goes for both the Metal & Steel event as well as the monthly gem quests. Metal & Steel seems to have you fighting Hammer Frame enemies at increasing difficulties. The later rewards are gems, though, so try your best to beat these.

All of your single-attribute Keyblades will be stronger this month, so maybe throw them a gem or two. (Not too many, though, since some of them require a lot as you get closer to +35)

VIP is doing a weekly medal campaign again. This time it's a double whammy: you can get a SN+ KH3 Aqua each week, and buying VIP (aka the "Jewel Box+") each week will net you a DB6Max skill. This may be the first time a medal has ever been introduced at SN+, which is interesting. The rest of it, though...
KH3 Aqua is a pretty decent medal. It's essentially an upgraded SN HD Aqua, but this time it also gives magic STR buffs. This is different than general attack buffs and can really help in higher-level PVE matches. However, it comes with no traits. You actually have to spend 1500 jewels on an Aqua trait banner just to be able to fill out the 5 trait slots (without rerolling). This could be costly, considering that traits are unforgiving and could easily stick you with 5 DEF +2000 traits. Definitely give this some thought before dropping a bunch of jewels.
DB6Max is not recommended to chase. If you already buy VIP weekly as it is, then congrats on being financially secure and enjoy your "free" skill. Otherwise, it's better to wait until the skill is available outside of VIP. Realistically, this is just early access to a skill that will only serve to benefit high-ranking PVP players. If you're not one of those players and have no desire to be, don't bother with this "deal".

As was to be expected after the announcement of a new Kairi, we also have a new Xion. She's just the reverse version of Kairi, so she'll be better suited for you if you favor reverse medals. The banner leaves much to be desired, though. Both VIP and F2P have to pay 30,000 jewels to mercy the medal, but F2P also has one of those infamous 1-in-4 "mercies" which means your efforts may end up being in vain. Don't spend on this banner. Either of them, really. VIP players may have the funds to mercy Xion, but I'm not sure the boost she provides is worth the 30k jewels required.

Finally, the boards. The new enhancement boards bring good skills for an acceptable price. Board A is a bit more appealing than board B, but it all comes down to what you need. Remember, these boards have been coming at a consistent pace, so skip them for now if you don't need anything they have to offer.
Gem boards are largely unnecessary for most players, especially with how frequently we're getting gems from events. Again, whether you get these boards will be up to you as a player.
Finally, new jewel and VIP coin trait boards have been added. At a glance, the most appealing jewel boards will likely be Lea (Axel) and Monster Sora, maybe Zeus also. For VIP coin boards, it's definitely Anti-Aqua, Boy in White and Boy in Black. With all of these boards (namely the jewel boards), remember: don't chase traits. If the traits you have will work well enough, stick with them. Better to have ok traits and save your jewels than to waste jewels and get HP +800.
