To be honest I am not exactly sure what is going on with the champion system. On the normal champions damage massively down to doing almost nothing. Just took a shot at club champ to see how bad that would be and instead of the usual 6 or 7 mil a hit I get with team adjusted for positions I scored 71.2 mil impression. I ran another hit on each, damage on normal champions still seems down, but 2nd club hit was 18 million. The numbers just seem very random in club champ currently. I mean I am not about to complain about doing more damage in club champs makes the shards easier to get after all, but there is a total lack of consistency to be able to work out what exactly is going on with the champ system overall currently, and given how many girls come from the club champ system knowing the way to consistently score, or for PoA knowing how to score low on the reg champs to get those ticket uses in is also important (granted though with damage to normal champions running lower that not an issue for the moment).

Yes that is 18k, but lets say one wants as many girls as possible, that then removes 7200*2 for 2 PoA's over that 2 months. So what your telling us is we have to choose 1 mythic girl at 18k a month, or 4 girls from the two PoA koban paths and 3600 a month not counting anything that may need to be spent on legendary contests dropping that for some down to about 2000 a month profit. Not to mention with RNG the mythic girl can cost up to 17-23k based on luck so if one is lucky in shard drops. 23k/2k is 11.5 months, so close to a year for the average player in less they ignore all other koban costing events.

I had planned to reply to that post myself but you pretty much summed it up well. I would like to add however I am one who did want the girl and just gave up when I saw what it would cost. I have been out of work due to covid having my job shut down for 10 months now so I do not exactly have the option as Lemes put it, and not being a "top" level who can regularly finish top 4 in D3 what takes him a "couple months" to earn in free kobans takes an average player like me a year to earn. This more or less just shows even more strongly how broken the rewards for the leagues are, and how out of touch with the average player many of the big fish who always at the top are. As well as how out of touch the devs seem to be on the financial situation many players are facing during a global pandemic with the recent additions of more and more content that to keep up with everything forces spending many cannot afford even if they want to. I am sorry but no matter how much I want a girl in a digital porn game, it is not more important then having food on the table, or paying rent, and in no way something that can be done without spending on a monthly new form of event for anyone outside the select few always top 4 d3 league sharks.

I like your numbers. Honestly since none of us have any idea how the numbers would change if there was a change made by KK the most simple way to display it was based on current reward levels for my point. I am glad someone did the math on using the same total given out now to show a breakdown of how it would work in a more fair system without changing the total number given out.

I have been following this topic for since it was first posted back in June but have held off weighing in while gaining experience in being more competitive of a player as back in June I was just beginning the shift from casual to more hard core. Now with 5 months playing hard core and working on catching up on how far behind I was from being causal so long I will weigh in with what I see about the issue at hand. Back when I first started playing hard core obviously I was doing horrible for my level, girls not optimized for the tower, gear not ideal, not using boosters. I would finish top 45 in s1 simply due to my level, if it was a week I pushed hard maybe move up to s2, but then drop back just due to playing causal and not putting in max battles a week. Since that time I have moved up strategically stopping in s2 and s3 until I was sure I had the power to move on. I am now in d1 and depending if I can be online at reset placing top 30, or top 45 if I cannot for the past few weeks. The biggest thing holding me back from advancing now is more the RNG aspects of managing to keep best in slot gear for my level and all the boosters I would need to push for trying to rank higher without the cost being greater then the gains for doing so. As I see it the best fix to the leagues would be to better balance the rewards. While the top ranks should get better rewards those numbers should not nose dive by to the point where finishing 16-30 is only worth 12% of what finishing first is. If the drop off was 20% of the top prize per rank group things would be more balanced in the cost to get a certain rank vs the reward from that rank and though the whales and sharks would still rule the top 4 ranks, at least the smaller fish would not be starving to the point of only being able to make a run at them once every few months due to the cost of failing being greater then the reward for trying. With this solution using D3 Koban rewards as an example: The top whale would still get his 14.4k. The 2nd-4th whales would 11,520. The 5-15th sharks would get 8,640 enough to invest in runs to try for top 4 regularly. The smaller fish in 16-30 would still get 5,760 to invest in getting bigger to be better able to run a challenge in the future. The 2880 for 31-45 would be incentive to stay in d3. The ranks that gain Kobans below that could remain the same as if one cannot battle for top 45 they are not ready for d3 yet. A system like this would I believe both encourage more to learn better strategy as they see their rewards grow instead of just seeing massive rewards that are out of reach, and keep rewards worth while enough to make tanking not worth while. Edit: Forgot to note I am currently level 324 so on the low end for D leagues, and basing this on what I have learned from both the answers in this topic and what I have learned since becoming more competitive in the game in recent months.

I am not exactly sure how anyone below the top players can be defending this or saying they like it because "PvP is good". I mean we are not talking about an MMO, or a battle royal or anything of the sort here. Even calling the game a "glorified JPEG collector" as another did is an overstatement. As much as we have all enjoyed HH before this crap update let's be realistic about what it really is, it is a low budget porn game that they are trying to shoehorn more and more PVP aspects into to milk whales. PVP has it's place in games where there are good PVP systems such as MMO's, not in crappy thrown together milk the whales styles in porn games.

I am also just getting bunny popping up in a broken tutorial, but from what others are saying and season pass not being a Koban option, this is garbage even without the broken tutorial, and the broken tutorial just adds more trash on what is trash.

Being still out of work due to the virus and having blown my most of my Kobans in the anniversary event this one kind of hurts loving the girls but just not having any wiggle room in budget to get them. Hopefully the locked ones will not be hidden away outside other events too long since this POA is so close after the Anniversary events so I get a chance to get them without waiting forever. Do keep in mind many of us are not level 400 so cannot get d2 or d3 top 45 kobans weekly free. There is a big drop off to the amount those of us 100 levels lower can get reliably.
