Well, I went off the rails for this PoA. But it's off the rails like the train in Back to the Future 3 that flies. My crazy (sometimes) sleep schedule had me ahead of pace, and then I got way ahead when doing Villain fights as I was moving up in Pantheon. Because my plan includes saving resources via regeneration while sleeping for minimal cost, I was in a situation where I went ahead of pace, then I can push further and that happened in multiple spots where I got a task done and things lined up very well, on top of Pantheon and the daily rewards helping me out. This made me think about how far ahead I was, and I decided to do something I hadn't done for a long time, and that I had stopped doing once Cumback Contests became a thing: I bought the paid path. Purpose was to get the extra Mythic Gear (it didn't help) and to be able to stack more Combativity for carrying into the new monthly event, but that won't happen. Because . then I decided that if I'm doing this, why not try and finish the whole Path of Attraction and get that draft orb. Partway through pushing I realized that since I emptied Mythic Pachinko, the draft orb will only be useful during events unless more girls get added there, but that's okay. This is a can I actually still do this by not spending Kobans on resources, and the answer is yes, but it needs a whole lot of things to come together and to have enough saved resources plus the stuff form the Path - however I didn't need the paid path, but it did help with task 25, saving me 3.5 hours. As long as I don't fall asleep at the keyboard, which is possible, as today was an all-nighter, I will finish soon.

I managed to grind up to 1800 finally, but am stuck there with no chance of winning without Headband, so no reason to even try with one.

I think this heavily depends on who the free player is and what you mean by "competing". I know of a couple free players who have posted in this thread who will have no problems getting Mythic gear in amounts that can work out fine over time due to good strategies generating Koban income to spend those Kobans on Mythic gear sources, plus drops from orbs. If competing means actually winning D3 somewhat regularly, that's not likely even before this new feature. If it means top 15 somewhat regularly it's not going to be an issue at all. So if you mean competing for a top 4 spot, then we'll see. I suspect we'll see some completely free players in top 4 D3 spots on a reasonable basis. I'm a free player. I now have 3 Mythic Equipment. My last 2 drops have been identical, except for image. I'm not deterred. ----------- I'm trying to figure out if it's bad or good,that I thought of House of the Rising Sun before I got to the bottom. I envision that keyboard solo as a really long post rather than a musical instrument. MOD Edit: Double post content added. Div*

Jelom gave good advice above, but also don't forget that club champions count as well for this task. You want weak teams, hard high level champions or both to progress through this event. I'm guessing that the issue is a lack of champions available, or a lack of tickets, though. However, if your issue is that you lack tickets, then you're in trouble. ll need to keep 215 tickets in reserve for this to get as far as one would want - as you see in my strategy post above, I plan to stop very late, which will need all 215 tickets.

Mythic gear has just been released and I was thinking about something to help people who are very unlucky with what gear they get. As I see it, Mythic gear has 6 characteristics: Slot - what slot the item takes Name/Image - what the item is called & looks like Class - Charm, KnowHow or Hardcore Class Attunement - Ego or Attack Power Element - One of the 9 various options Element Attunement - Harmony or Defense You might like some or most of these, but if its not your class, or you wanted a cute Snowman and it then you got an ugly Ultrabot, maybe you want to fix that. So how to customize? Two main options come to mind. I've played games where you can reroll item attributes for a cost. Sometimes this allows you to keep 1 or 2 attributes, sometimes it's a complete reset that simply insures you won't end up with the exact same thing, and the one game that I played where it was possible to happen, they fixed that. (The fact that I managed to get an exact duplicate item with 8 rated or typed attributes at random meant the laws of probability still love laughing at me.) Given that players have a class, and would prefer gear in their class, it seems to me that this would be a good option for people who want a bit more gear customization to spend Kobans to do so. Another option some would suggest is an item exchange, and that could work if it was just base items. Exchange tickets would be bought with Kobans or cash. You put your item on an exchange, and someone pays exchange tickets for the item, and you get the exchange tickets paid, less an exchange fee. Limiting it to base items means that the opportunities for shenanigans are limited. I realize this is more development work, and that there are bugs still to be worked out, but as Kinkoid grows the game in scope, this may be something to consider.

My thoughts are that it is not worth it, unless you are planning to change class. The only thing less useful would be a Mythic that is identical to another one you have, which is fodder for a suggestion I am going to post about.

I wanted to reply to this, although others have mostly covered it. The primary reason I started doing this a while ago is that I'm free to play, and when PoA first came out people complained it wasn't possible to complete for a free player. They were wrong. They complained it required planning, and well, they were right on that. The secondary resaon was to track changes from one PoA to the next, and while we had settled into a stable routing of a 25 stage POA, we now are at 26, so I updated my sheet, tweaked it, and here it is. Technically, I'm not stopping progress it's just a note for the day I will complete it using natural regen and other stuff saved + available resources. Many things require more than one day of regeneration, and frankly, time. Time is something we all have finite amounts of to use, and how we use it varies. I am normally sleeping or going to sleep at reset time. My schedule is such that I usually sleep during the day, but the exact time is flexible. Other people will push, or aim lower, as they have have less time to play. They can tweak the plan. Think of this as a plan from a long-time free player who is really good at completing PoA with no issues who is willing to share his way of getting this done with little stress.

Been a while since I posted my plan, but with changes to PoA, I thought I'd share. Task 21 was added, which is 120 Items Sold. Tasks 3 & 8 have been made easier, reducing the numbers of items to sell. The tasks that used to be numbers 21-25 are now 22-26. I expect to reach tier 24, was tier 23 without needing to spend Kobans. That doesn't mean I won't spend Kobans, just that they won't be needed to complete this.

It can happen with upgraded equipment: my Snowman is now a fucking Ultrabot.

Not happy about the sudden transformation of my Snowman into an Ultrabot. I know it's cosmetic, but there's literally no reason for it.

I found what may be a bug with Mythic Equipment. If you have no girl in the Pachinko, there's no mention of a Mythic Equipment drop being possible. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not.

I can confirm that Mythic Equipment is dropping from Mythic Pachinko. Edit: I want to note that if one doesn't have a girl in Mythic Pachinko the in-game text wont mention Mythic Equipment.

Luckily (?) I have exceeded that insanity level. It only got bad on the last couple levels, once I switched from Firefox to Opera which handles the equipment page much better. Went for the girl in MyP, got 2 pieces of equipment, but 1 is not my class. The other is now fully maxed out.

First two days managed two top 20 performances, but sadly, outside the top 10. Day 3 is normally a day I can do well with my plethora of tickets. Manged to get 1st this time around, as opposed to my usual top 4. I did spend some Kobans refiling near the end, but less than the cost of an AM booster. Day 4 should be a lock for the top 25 bracket, with a good shot at top 10. Top 4 could happen, but it's highly unlikely, I don't have a card of any type, won't spend Kobans on this as 1st is a long way away, and I sleep days, so I normally start off way behind and need to climb late.

I'm not taking the risk today going for 1st today on day 2 with pachinko orbs and no girls to get. Top 10 suits me fine, top 4 maybe if cheap enough. The girl will come, she always does.

Here's the order for these two on the wiki: https://harem-battle.club/wiki/Harem-Heroes/HH:Cumback-Contests https://harem-battle.club/wiki/Harem-Heroes/HH:Legendary-Contests Also, Path of Valor has a known rotation order, and Path of Attraction has a fixed task order, they recently extended it from 20 steps, but the order hasn't changed.

I think you've got most of these nailed down, except that most high end players don't have everything maxed out already. Gems are limiting except for the highest of the high end players. You're right that it will cause more Koban spending the way this is implemented, not just real world money spending, as well. The other WHY to do this is that it's part of the development team's vision to bring a more robust competition mechanic to the game. We saw that with elements and gems, and we've seen it in other ways previously.

While Animal could be very helpful waking girls up, that looks like a cut rate imitation version above. Seriously, one at a time is the only way to do it. However, what you can do is to open each girl's link in a new browser tab. That will make it faster.

I think it can work, but it needs to be limited in amount one can buy and gift, and also it needs to not be limited to in-club gifts. It may be beyond the scope of what Kinkoid wants to do, but the technical side is very possible to lock down. The questions are: Is it worth the cost in money and effort to implement? Maybe, depends on the playerbase's interest. Do they have the technical skills in-house? Probably not, as you need multiple specialists, and "auditor" isn't a common skill set in game companies. They probably have somebody who can handle the database modifications, though. How does Kinkoid see the game evolving from a revenue generation standpoint? What streams are they looking to implement, and what to avoid? That's a management question.

Now that I made my sarcastic dig at the monster, I will give real feedback. I think it's a decent idea, but it has a few issues that need to locked down very tightly. 1. Being able to buy something in game, and gift it to another account requires tracking. Some games have had issues with sham accounts trading items or gifting items in the past. Coupling that with real world purchases makes me a bit leery if the back end tracking isn't done well. I can't speak for how well Kinkoid handles purchase tracking myself, but I've heard some not so stellar things. 2. Some people actively avoid getting girls they don't like and wouldn't want those girls to be auto-collected, they will simply let the x100 reward time out. Gifting someone a card will make this impossible. Therefore, people need to be able to refuse gifts in general or possibly gifts from specific people. 3. This could function as a way to give the person creating scripts something for their time, as well. 4. Finally, if it's limited to something like a single instance of the lowest card once a year per giver-recipient pair or something, it could be fine. This might be something that could happen as an opportunity/event/bundle - however you'd phrase it, and be open for a limited time, say a week. That way it could be looked at as a test run.

On the last day, I ended up taking a shot at getting the gems chest, after managing to get the KC girl with just 1 refill, as I was feeling kind of lucky after spending all my kiss rewards. A few hundred orbs later, I had gotten the other 3 girls I needed for the gems chest, which was pretty good. However, got 3 non-event girls from Epic Pachinko, which was really lucky. And Epic Pachinko is now cleaned out.

Brilliant? Tell that to the guy who he mutes and forgets about for a week. He's a monster. 😝

Was traveling from Thursday to Sunday, and basically figured I'd save some Kobans by doing x15 fights instead of refilling. Used triple ginseng, had a few losses, but figured I'd get a top 15 and it'd be fine. Was still behind multiple refills when i got home, as the convention was very busy. At some point alight bulb went off in my head, and I realized I needed to try because I was multiple refills behind... and yet in the top 15 at times. The league turned out better than I hoped. I suspect I might have been able to win if I was at home, or at least less busy this week. Still, a good result.

I think just looks like a hard riding sheriff of the old west that has seen a lot of action. Lots of hard dirty work under the sun. Just got her, as well. Done with the event, except for Pachinko.

I'm not on the test server, so thanks for posting this and the details. I was expecting a crafting method of acquisition using up a lot of Legendary gear and Ymen, so while having enough gear is helpful, at least they made Epic & Rare gear worth something. I wonder if you can use Mythic gear to level up other Mythic gear.
