Strategy
Puppet Show is a single battle where your total control time -- the time you utilize to position your units -- is limited. Elapsed time is subtracted from the total after each turn. A total time of 12.0 seconds is allotted for both Hunting Zones 1 and 2. The battle completes if time expires during your turn or if only 0.1 seconds remain at the start. It appears the minimum time for any move is just below 0.3 seconds.
The enemies that appear in a Puppet Show stage consist of Protective Puppets and a randomly selected type: sword-wielder, spear-wielder, or archer. The selection is visible in the Start Battle screen and appears to remain static for each Hunting Zone each time they appear -- throughout the day Thursday or during an appearance on Friday. New enemies, possibly the Puppet King, will spawn each turn until time has expired. It is not yet clear whether a certain amount of time needs to expire before the Puppet King has a chance of appearing.
The Puppet King has a high chance of dropping a rare tear/ore/particle. The regular Puppet enemies will only drop race specific items of a high or low tier. It is possible for a single enemy to drop two items upon defeat, presumably both a low and high tier.
