I used some combats (lost 10 to the damn glitch) and got Shaman Gwenaelle. Got a free girl with the *10 freebie orb and the got 2 others with the 9 epic orbs I had left in my stash. Not bad, I'm happy 😃

Battle cycles that drive me nuts are the extremes. For example: 1st round I get multiple crits and my opponent gets none which count*, 2nd round it is the exact opposite, and the 3rd round neither of us get a crit. The results look like this: 25-19-23 when the expected score is 23.6 Is the Orange (Physical) element worth it when you get no crits and the player without the element gets 3 in a row! That disparity in expected reslults drives me nuts. *for it to count as a crit, imho, it has to happen before the battle reaches the point where regular damage is sufficient to defeat the other player.

That in and of itself wouldn't be a huge surprize. What I am looking at seems to be the obtaining of the 1-2% result at roughly 4% of the time (almost double the expected rate). Honestly, if all I wanted was average results I would be fairly happy, but I want more! I want to get to @Rarum's "most powerful list" so I am looking for hints on how to get better than I am at the moment. To do that I need to understand why and how the damned critical hits happen (much more than my current understanding of the game).

At my level you would think I already knew the answer to this, but I don't and it is driving me crazy. What is the point of even showing the Harmony stat when you can have a Harmony 10-60 points higher than your opponent and yet your opponent gets 4+ critical hits and you get zero or maybe one? This is happening even when the opponent has the same team (but at lower levels). So what is the point? How to you plan for what the battle sim says is a 1-2% shot? I meet the same players in Seasons and crush them every time, yet in the League I keep losing points (not battles). Seriously guys, this isn't a whine, it is a lack of understanding, I am missing something and it is annoying the crap out of me. So please, can I get a little help figuring this out? While this isn't the best example of what I am talking about feel free to use the following in your explanation of how I am getting this wrong: All my stats are significatly higher. My girls are 100 levels higher, My club bonuses are 8 levels higher, yet I recieved an extremly poor result because of the critical hits in all three battles against Malkyo... ARGH!!!

This week was better even with more time being taken away for work. I ended up coming in 3rd place.

Please keep doing donation contests. I seldom go above the minimum donation now and when I don't make any donations the "random prize" has been way better than I could have hoped for.

First, let me say thank you to all the players who have not gone after Magical Noemy, your lack of interest made it possible for me to claim a mythic girl for less less than 1000 combats and saved me the angst of spending kobans for refills with a less than optimum roi. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Magical Noemy is mine 😃

You would not know it by my final score (lost 17 points on battles where a loss was figured around 2.2%), but I am somewhat happy with my new battle strategy. This is the first time in months where I do not know if a top 4 finish is going to happen (crossing fingers). Top ten breakdown by class this week: KH=5, HC=3, CH=2 @Tom208 will most likely have a more up to date screen shot when the league finishes. Have fun every one, c'ya on the flip side 😃

Comments on Patch Notes Week #26 date: 29. 06.2022 Adventure More adventure is good, I am still trying to figure out which way the story is going and how it is that the WereBunny Police is the villian here. Still, the art is good and some funny things have happened so it's all good. Path Of Glory Almost every concern is addressed making this a better addition to the game (I still feel like the bonus path is more expensive than it needs to be). Messenger Still no word on having a translucent background, or on fixing the scroll problem (Windows, Chrome Browser, Desktop PC), but more content is good. Wishing there was player input on what our Harem building and grounds looks like. That type of player/game interaction is probably beyond the technical capabilities of the game as it stands currently. Club Champions I would have preferred another round for players to gain Stellaluna instead of relegating her to the dark well of "latter" which occurs so slowly it makes a turtle look like a rabbit. New One Star Recruits Has Pachinko and events totally taken over the new girl introduction? I don't mind, it is easier to get them in those places (as opposed to getting them from villains', which appears to have totally stagnated in the games development). Truth be told, I would rather have Roller Skating Alana as a first date, but I would not throw either girl out of bed 😃 New PoP Girl Yes! The PoP girls take forever to get but they have always been very nice to look at and erm... yeah 🤣

This week I did okay, but not great which tells me I am missing something in my approach. I should have a safe 4th place win this week but you can never be certain until Bunny sings 🤣 This weeks top ten breakdown: HC=5, KH=4, CH=1 Have fun, I'll c'ya on the flip side 😃

True, but while it says she is Caroline the pics do not agree with her description after upgrading her.

As I expected And I got Caroline (I think), maybe I got a different girl by mistake? It's impossible to be more specific without violating the "spoilers restriction."

Frustrated is the word I would use to describe this week in the D3. The good news is I started at level 483 and ended at level 485 with only a single loss for the week (and I know how to keep that from happening again so I learned something). The frustration was a series of 14 combats where I hit the lower 1.5% in winning possibilities. It sucks when you see that kind of series. This is a screen shot which will probably change, so I am crossing my fingers in the hope that I finish in the top 4. My group ranged in levels like this 346-500 with the average being level 488 (32 of the players were level 500). This is also the first time I have seen a balance in the classes with the top ten breaking down like this: CH=3, KH=4, HC=3 Have fun everyone, I'll c'ya on the flip side 😃

My final result was: As I said, I figured a 50/50 shot at 1st but either @Loewe66 or @[FDGN] ~ Speleo12 probably had the extra 15 combats and managed to acheive a 22+ point average on the final run.

There was fierce competition in my D3 this week. That's the only explanation I can think of for the low scores. Everyone seemed to put their best foot forward in a effort to limit what others could do and with a bit over 10 hours to go this is what it looked like: I figure I have a 50/50 chance of coming in first and see no scenario where I would fall out of the top four. 😃 The top ten by class this week (KH=7, HC=3, CH=0) Have fun everyone, cya on the flip side 😃

Perhaps. But I still had 2 points from a Sandlewood from back in the last Mythic Revival. I don't recall if Oasis Piper or Bright Agate got those. Anyway, as you said, the important thing is I got her. Just wishing I had planned better on the gems because the Mythics are bloody expensive as hell when you add everything up.

I used 4 of the Sandlewoods (and 9 of 11 on a 5th). I did not count the cost of the Sandlewoods as I have been collecting them since the last Mythic Revival. As for combats, no I don't look at or keep track of them anymore since the glitch started occurring. Doing so would just add to my annoyance and subtract from the fun of the hunt for me.

I decided at the last minute to go for Bright Agate. Spent 9418 kobans (40 combats went with zero rewards thanks to the combat glitch where the screen freezes and the only way out is a screen refresh). Anyway, I got the girl and that's when I realized I only had gems to get her up to level 500. Still, even with the glitch and my "less than optimal planning" I think I did better than expected (by the averages).

Just a tad under 11 hours to go this week in my D3. I am the only knowhow player in the top 10 this week so I am claiming victory even though I see only a 60% chance of staying in the top 4. (players in the top 10 so far are: CH=7, KH=1, HC=2) Last week I beat @NARDI LEGEND and this week he said "no way" was I doing that two weeks in a row 🤣 Have fun guys, cya on the flip side 😃

Still on wall 1600. It stinks when I have to do Pantheon tokens with "impossible to win" combats. This week the blessings still say 0%, but at least the "impossible" marker is gone so there is a miniscule chance to win. I'm still stuck with a Sandlewood potion from the Mythic revival (damn drop rate), so the headband is out of the picture until one of my other Mythic boosters finally dies.

Well yuck! -21.37 points from what the combat sim said was "normal avg" this week. In effect I was fighting the RNG gods instead of the players in my D3 this time and as I said in the begining "yuck." This is the screenshot with just over 12.5 hours to go. Judging by the scores at this date I think several of the other players are fighting the RNG gods as well. Time will tell and I wish I would be here to see the weeks final results tally. Have fun everyone, cya on the flip side 😃

I ended up with 12/100 and that was with Sandlewood. I started at 10/100 so like you, I got 2 shards.

That would suck. The vagrancies of such a small drop rate combined with such a small window of opportunity push towards a sense of "what's the point" of even trying? Not saying I'm at that point yet. My thinking is just start gathering resources until I can be certain of overwhelming the system and assuring success in getting the girl. That isn't a fun place to be in imho but it is what it is.

Now that was interesting. Like I said before I did not use extra resources to try and obtain Nike. I did use a Sandlewood at the start of the event and still have 9 points on the perfume at the end of the event! I've never seen Sandlewood last more than an hour before this event. So now waiting until she shows up again in what, a year from now?

🤣 This weeks blessings gave me a 1.7% shot of getting past the 1600 wall (that is with the 450 koban Mythic Headband)! Maybe next week will be different (in a positive way).
