I'm going to assume that you're a NA player because this event came and went for JP while I believe CN recently finished it.

As someone who's saving his Quartz in NA since Okeanos 2 (Completely F2P, 171 Quartz, 5 Tickets and counting), I salute you for your dedication (though I have dropped a few Tickets here and there). Illya herself isn't my waifu, nor am I a lolicon or a fanservice lover, but lighthearted Illya moments in F/SN, Zero, and Kaleid have helped me combat my ever-growing cynicism and made me remember that humanity is at least a bit inherently good at heart.

Ironically, if you want Illya solely to reunite the EMIYA family, then the one you need to monitor most closely are the antitheses to my reason to roll for Illya... EMIYA and Kiritsugu are essential part of the EMIYA family and unlike Illya, they're easy to get, seeing as they're lower rarity and non-limited (tho Kiritsugu only comes out with Accel/Zero). Iri-kun is Accel/Zero's reward, so you're good there, assuming your Servants are properly leveled. The last slot has different options (seeing as you can only have five of your own members in a team) - Kuro/Chloe or Ko-Gil/Child Gil (for all the Kaleid fans out there), Heracles (for Illya memes), or OG Artoria (as a parallel to the other three members of the base EMIYA family). Thus, make sure you can get the easier Servants first before deciding whether to roll for Illya (my dropped Tickets were finally worth it in GUDAGUDA and reaped me my first and only EMIYA).

If you plan on going all-out for the Prisma Event (which you should, cuz Kuro's a top-tier Archer), roll for Illya because she gets a hefty damage boost during the event and will make it easier to finish it and maximize your resources from the event.

That said, If you don't have any other reason to roll for Illya and you don't care for Kuro, then I guess wait until New Years, considering that top-tier Servants such as Shishou, AUO, and Goldie will all be on rate-up. Shiki, Iskandar, and Ishtar as well if you like their characters.
