Friends, the patch notes said critical thinking is fixed, I picked it up to increase my girl's damage by 30%. My crits are now scoring between 5,000,000 and 7,000,000 damage.

That was 2 hours of my life down the drain, but I did it. I used 1 Heart before the Floor 5 final boss, thinking it would be good, but dear god. Those poor recruits melted faster than ice cream on a summer day. Here is a retelling of the events, in a nice spoiler since not everyone likes reading disaster porn. 10/10 would play Hard Difficulty again. Gonna see if I can do it without spending the 1 Heart.

Thanks for the info, everyone. These forums are really a treasure trove of info XD

In other games like genshin impact, crit builds end up being the way to go. In this game, that Crit is amazing when it procs repeatedly. I've been looking for it for a little now, but does anyone know the current crit chance formula? I'm wondering if hyper focusing on crit chance over the long term might be worth something.

I investigated this when I was using the Booty Bounce (reflect skill) a while ago. It's working fine, it's just that the game does STRANGE calculations at STRANGE times while the battle is happening. Here was my log of a battle I recorded to try to figure out why things were happening.

Thank you for your response. I should have been clear: The entire team has no skills, and only my skill's animation plays. Knowing that something strange happens with the shield skill is good though. As for my issue with "Booty Bounce" it causes weird issues like a 70k attack from me, two turns after the bounce has expired "healing" the opponent. I have a video of one of many battles, so I'll transcribe it here in a bit. EDIT: I'll round down on all numbers. After stepping through it frame by frame, I was able to find the weird spot. As of now, it looks like there's some weird calculations happening at weird times. Battle Start: My Ego 827K, Enemy Ego 727K My attack 91K. Enemy Ego reduced to 635k (Correct) Enemy Attack, 101 K. My Booty Bounce procs. My Ego reduced to 726K. (Correct) Enemy heals 16K on attack, but their Ego is unchanged. My booty bounce deals 81k back. Ego reduced to 570K. This number makes sense assuming visual glitch. (635-81+16=570) (Just noticed something for the first time) When my girls changed over, the enemy Ego suddenly dropped to 489K, BEFORE my second girl's attack. (This might be the thing causing the healing. Second girl properly attacks, dealing 94K. Enemy Ego drops from 489K to 476K. (This number is correct when we take 570-94K) My Ego is now at 741K from heal. Second enemy girl in. Deals 259K, heals 41K. My ego drops to 481K. No heal recorded on girl's bar. Booty Bounce kicks in. Deals 207K. Ego drops from 476 to 310K. Factoring the missing heal in: (476-207+41= 310K) Suddenly, the enemy Ego drops to 102K. Third girl attacks, deals 228K damage. Enemy Ego goes to 82K. (Ignoring the drop to 102K. 310-228=82K) Third enemy girl deals 101K, heals 16K. My ego goes to 415K, Enemy Ego at 98k Final attack closes it with a crit. This battle didn't have the "attack healed the enemy" effect, but I'm going to guess it was because of the crit interacting with the strange change that happens when girl switch.

Guys... I read the last page of this thread but didnt see any indications of this, and just need to ask-- Is there a visual bug I've never noticed with the battles. For example, enemy is at 489k. my girl does 94k. ego reduced to 476k. They atack, and should heal 16k, but the number doesn't update, and so on and so forth. 489-94= 395. Not whatever this is. Sometimes, numbers are fine, but sometimes, they go crazy like this. Did I miss something? I'm writing about this here because I've always watched my fights, and noticed this post having "Reflect" activating. Is it a visual glitch, or is something going wrong? Or am I just not looking at something right? For the record, this battle happened against a girl without the skills.

Ahh, okay, thank you. I got scared because everyone in the bracket seemed low powered compared to a few hours ago

Hey, can someone clarify this for me, because I think maybe I missed the note or something. I was in dictator 3 for the leagues, collected my 36th place reward, got the you won't be moved message. but then... Im now in dicktator 1? Is there something i dont know? Or am I sleep deprived and not reading some interface correctly?

So, from this event, I've gotten Fairy and Derri with Jenni at 76. This has been without refills, so I'm pretty happy. What's unfortunate is that I missed about 60 points worth of free combat. I'm considering refilling thrice to reach parity, but it looks like I'll be okay with Jenni. Wish everyone luck in their battles.

Yeah 7200 is my new zero too. And I agree would be disappointing. But considering how "extra"this event is along with the first one, I'm hopeful when it comes to girl amounts. Worst case if they only have one extra girl, maybe they'll increase the amount of event orbs or other pachinko orbs to compensate.

It's always been my understanding that the event girl and the normal girl don't interfere with each other. I believe Kinkoid has also claimed this before, but I may be wrong. Someone feel free to correct. But from a programming standpoint, it would be easy to make the two types of girl exclusive to each other. It would be as simple as running an rng function to produce a number, and then do some branches to evaluate certain ranges of numbers. If the two girls did interfere with each other, it would mean there would be a second rng function occurring after the first to determine which type of girl would drop. Not hard to do, but would be pretty brutal if Kinkoid has already said something to the contrary. LuxFF may just have terrible luck. Anecdotes aren't exactly fair, but just for the record, I've done 4-5 refills through out the event and just claimed a second event girl. For every batch of 20 I get at least 2 drops of x amount of shards. There's yet to have been a round of 20 where I felt cheated this time around. On another topic, I really hope they don't suddenly change the needed amount for POA. I know it's likely that they won't change it, but it's just so scary haha.

Everyone! That ten energy was so great! I've gotten to cut the time it would have taken to click the button to go to the next scene of the story from 112 minutes to 42 minutes. Truly a wondrous godsend. I am very ahead of schedule, I don't even know what to do. It's so wonderful that the devs intimately know the value of their various resources to be able to discern that what truly gives a leg up is how much time you can save with ten whole energy. They most certainly are not in a backroom somewhere laughing at their captive audience as they try to one-up each other with the best anniversary idea. What a blessed world, the haremverse. At this point, I write this fully expecting my already mind-blowing drop rate to decrease sharply. Because that level of intuitive response seems about right thus far haha.

Hoarding is the way to go I feel, but only if you have the time to be able to check in on the game more than 5 times a day. Ever since missing out of on the first path of attraction girl what I've done is: Keep my money above 100 million, if that's good spend whatever I want. My next milestone 150. I've been doing this for a long time. I don't know, I keep telling myself I might need it in an emergency XD Books and gifts I buy when possible and only use them when there's incentive, like a contest. Save up the Kobans I get from the tower and the daily stuff until I get to 7000. Used to save 5400, but Path changed that. I'm in D2, so this is doable. Don't do champions. Now with path, I only do Champs when Im going to be rewarded by path. The way I see it, the time at which you do champions now matters, so I have no problem being patient for the most opportune time. I'll use my orbs whenever. They're fun.
