I honestly took for granted that they'll do count towards the next ranking shit show. I mean, the leaderboards are based on the amount of crystals you have gathered in three days/all over the event duration, no matter where those crystals come from. I don't think they coded this whale fest to exclude the rank rewards from the count.

Villain fights = 1 point -> 54 x30days + 15(monday freebie) x4= 1680 crystals Champion fight (CC included) =1 point Fight win in season = 2 points -> (24 + 1) x 30days x2 =1500 crystals (no fight loss) Fight loss in season = 0 points Daily goals chests = 5 points each (25 in total per day) -> 25 x30days = 750 crystals Champions fights make hard to quantify where a dedicated f2p can reach, and they make this event mostly aimed at those who have *at least* a platinum monthly card, since they can spam as much champion fights as they can before entering in a 24h cooldown withouth having to spend kobans for doing so (which would be a complete waste of kobans for fights against champions that does not award any girl, for those who do not have a platinum card, even considering the rare lightbulbs drops). On top this shit, there're the two ranking bullshit^2, which I'm honestly failing to understand in what they differ. Maybe one is a raw leaderbord for the three days which resets each time, while the other does not "reset" every three days? I don't know. Without considering champion fights and the ranking craps (they are all impossible to quantify), the base ground of crystals one players should be able to reach (without missing any free points and winning all of his season fights) should be 3930 crystals, with the first two girls sitting at 7200 crystals. The last touch to this shitty cake: 15,6k kobans to unlock the premium path, which for the average non-whale player will probably mean to unlock the first of the two premium girls only (laugh in 27K crystal needed for the second batch of girls). Mega Pass? I'd say more Omega Bullshit

It's so tragic that it does a 180 and becomes comic

The change will be: mythic and SBs girl will now have the new mono/bi affection scenes, too. In this way, all the girls will have the same treatment, as they had before, but it'll be worse. GG.

At this point I guess we can assume they planned no crystal gift for any of this year's anniversary SBs... In all honesty I wasn't actually expecting anything from them, but still. I guess we should be thankful for all the extra events that gave us the chance to throw at them our savings, after all. Happy birthday, Kinkoid! Can't wait to see what you'll throw us next year if I'll be still around by that time, that is

Just got a lucky 100 drop on Alt. Mala while she was at 34 shards. Super nice gift, Now I only miss 4 shards for Alt. Demetria and Il'll be finished with Sake's permanent pool. wow. True that I only missed these two from her pool, but even thanks to this lucky drop it went super fast. It literally took me more than five months to empty Nike's permanent pool. Vs just over a month of dedicated free fights on Sake

What are we looking at?

Maybe he was contemplating becoming the last survivor

Rosso:

After two weeks of ending in top 15 (13th two weeks ago and 11th last week) I non-shockingly returned in my top 30 bracket of rewards (even though I still managed to reach the 16th place, so just a bit too short). It surely depends both on the fact that m team this weak isn't amazing and that it was quite an harsh league: no screenshot, but I had most of the time a lot of fire red sim results every time I opened my league page. This new league doesn't look as bad as the last one, but still not as easy as the two leagues in which I managed to stay in top 15 😅 We'll see in a week, I guess

I hate to be the party pooper, and tbh I did not exact calculations for your specific case as of right now, but last thursday I made an evaluation on my situation and it came out that even going all out, buying all the kobans cards + spending all my remaing kobans in CP refills, Norou likely would have been out of reach even if by some miracle I managed to win DIII Leagues this week AND next week, and currently I have a little more kobans than you (6,8K) and, probably thanks to my not-awesome luck with Blessed Elphiba and LD girls this month, I'm slightly ahead of you in total xtals currently gathered (5228, free card already claimed). I could be wrong, and I do not know exactly either how much is mod compensation or how/when it is given out to you, but I'd say that if you aren't able to reach ~17000 kobans, on top of the 5940 you need to buy both kobans card (so ~23K total by the 2nd of September, more or less), you should start to morally prepare to say goodbye to Moon Norou or advocate hard with KK big shots to get us 1k xtals gift. Come on, it's still their anniversary celebration. What is this stingyness? Ah right, we're talking about kinkoid, my bad

Yep, that is what I thought, too Edit: Also, It usually is the other way around, with GH having HH's lines wrongly copied/pasted. I'm not saying it never happened to HH, but it is way more rare

I think it is correct the way it is. It is Samurai / Oni princess (Oni as in the Japanaese Oni, horned mythological creature) / Yura The GH counterpart is named Oda (may I say LOL?) and it is not an Oni. If part of your point was that samurai are males, I think that depends on the character she is a parody of

What a weird and funny way to write "forever", my friend.

Yesterday it was utterly awful: I got stuck at 75 points total. This second day of event offered a much better rng in tasks, and I was able to climb up to 590 potions super easily. Now I have to wait for tomorrow morning. I like Shegobara, and I'm super happy she's the free one. Maki's parody on the other hand, I don't want to say it is straight up bad, but I like her significantly less. This plus the fact she'll have basically only two affection scenes, makes me more than happy to comply my previous statement about DPs: don't pay too much attention/invest kobans in this quintessential rng shitshow unless the two girls are outstandingly gorgeous

*le me reading these super useful comments on how to spend lightbulbs next week having gathered 10 legendary lightbulbs so far*

Yep, first top 15 for me, thanks @Ravi-Sama 😊 it was excrutiating living through the last couple of hours having already finished all my fights. It was the first time I was able to stay in top 15 throughout all the week, so I kind of had my hopes up, but to be honest I was expecting to be ruthlessly pushed back in top 30/top 45 at any moment. Luckily I wasn't kicked out last minute 😂

I honestly do not know whether to laugh or cry

HSR's autoplay available in farming scenarios helps a lot in this matter, and so does having already completed all Genshin's long ass quests before HSR was even out😂. Now that Fontaine is approaching, though, things could change 😅 For sure it won't change the fact that tomorrow Kafka will come home (hopefully)

@holymolly -24h

Oh yes holy please I beg you cough cough Well... Good to know You can bet your life I will

I am here respectfully asking for a majestically executed M6/L5 (in this case possibly NOT given out as the last girl in a seasonal event) parody of Kafka from Honkai: Star Rail. @Darkyz_, if you kindly could make them deliver this wish of mine in the near future, I promise to at the very least consider becoming Kinkoid's most gentle faithful and blind white knight. Yours truly, Antimon. Edit: pic for context (I don't even need to post lewd fan arts)

Thank you @Methos2 and @garadron. When I answered it was 3:30 A.M. and I was basically a walking dead, I did not have the strength to fully elaborate, and now I do not think I could do that better than what you already did.

Ok, mine was more of a half joke to answer Omer, and I said Rosso to mean "a KK big shot" (and to my knowings, a least, Rosso should be KK's biggest shot). True. And I'm adult and mature enough to be perfectly aware of the fact that it is simply impossible to achieve the absolute and complete satisfaction among the entirety of the playerbase. Saying and expecting otherise was never my point

Appena finiamo col campione mollo, attendo le 24h di cooldown e mando la richiesta, allora. Grazie per l'invito 😁
