[Switching threads from the Heavenly Blessed mega event one] Takara, the current labyrinth girl, could maybe be useful for PvP. She's one of 4 legendary 5* girls who buffs Column pose. And that's the buff of no less than 4 mythic girls too, so it would be possible to build a 4 mythic + 3 legendary team on the Column pose with a yellow Stun mythic in the lead. (Probably Moe Bunny as I think she looks a bit better than Magical Noemy.) I just don't know if going from 2M5L to 4M3L is enough of a boost to make up for going from Shield to Stun as the main tier 5 skill to use. Can't try it for a while as I'd need quite a lot more mythic bulbs as well as still having to complete both Takara and Navigator Selena.

I may be being overly conservative on sapphire spending and that might result in a slowdown at the labyrinth shop stage. But I think I also have more seasonal event girls that I'm missing and as other mentioned, it seems quite possible that an appearance in the ME market is going to be the last opportunity to get started on these girls for multiple years at least. If I get a sufficient supply of sapphires to do 20 shards for each girl, I'll adjust to doing that. Indeed, I'm planning to only get the labyrinth girl to 40% in the labyrinth shop, and save the rest of the labyrinth coins for the revivals I can get from the ME market. Finishing them all in SM will require time and kobans, but from what I recall from when I used kobans to buy keys in an earlier instance (in CxH I think) they weren't too expensive for me for finishing up a 5* girl. It's a viable strategy for me because I don't have any missing 5* girls other than the SE ones, and also have all the mythics. So my 'mandatory' expenses are only new MD girls, new LD girls, the ME cards, and the DP paid path every other month. And being a fixture in the D3 league top-4 with occasional first place gives me sufficient koban income to start buying extra keys in SM. And, as Tom just mentioned, I'm hoping for increased labyrinth coins to make this faster when the higher difficulties get released.

I'm actually holding down sapphire spending as much as possible, only taking 10 shards for each girl to get them into the Labyrinth shop. On account of being uncertain how rare sapphires are going to be over time. Especially for the next event (the maLigned Race) we haven't seen one with sapphires yet. And in Laby, I'll only push them to 40+ territory for now too and finish them in SM. This since I recall that you can buy SM keys for kobans for a reasonable rate where I'll end up spending only a few (like 3) k-kobans for the last 50 (or 60 for the labyrinth girl) shards. Of course this presumes that one has spare kobans available and that seems easier for me than for you (having collected all mythic girls as of this past summer helps a lot). Still, I'm suspending PoV paid path purchases for now since I also have an unfortunate 16 3* girls cluttering up my SM pool. Indeed, that's when this became possible. Before that it was not possible to remove a girl from a team, only to replace one with a different girl. So you needed either an unused slot, or an existing <7 girl team to pull it off.

"It stacks multiplicatively." May require a little thought on the part of the reader though.

That is correct, she is dark/dominatrix. And skills are tied to the girls element so as a dark girl, she has Stun as her tier 5 skill.

No wiki but Zoopokemon has a spreadsheet where you should be able to find most of this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g-5kmvlHhA728yTF7xMdKfWuMe9-SqxW-QDdjc26J6I

Nice spot, I hadn't noticed that filter. Now I know that I've "only" got 141 girls to go in MP. Coincidentally exactly half of your missing count.

There was a list posted a while back that predicted PoG girls, which is where I got the October 2024 from. I don't remember which thread/post it was, but I'll include the image I saved from there here. The dates have held up so far, but unfortunately the pattern for which one is on the free and which one on the paid path has changed. It used to alternate with LD and LC on the free path. Lately it's been mostly LD on free and LC on paid, but I wouldn't make any bets on whether that pattern will hold up into the future. It would suit me perfectly if it sticks with LD on the free path, since those are the ones I'm looking to get. I'm not missing any 5* LC girls.

Keep in mind that Steamstrike (and other LD/LC girls) will all show up in PoG eventually. Steamstrike in particular would be expected there (unless things change) in October 2024. And they might even be on the free path.

You had an easy bracket for top 10. That score would have been 14 in my group. ;-)

Thanks for the report. I guess this also nixes the idea mentioned earlier to leave the XP rewards on the previous PoV unclaimed and then use the 2-day card to re-gain them during LC day 1. That's actually a somewhat relaxing/reassuring bit of knowledge for today/tomorrow.

Did you earlier collect 50 and 34 shards for the CC girl? If so, the last 34 shard reward only counts for the missing 16 shards. The extras that get converted to flowers don't count as shards. Edit: Didn't see that bolitho76 already basically gave the same answer. I was scanning for posts that quoted yours.

On the 2-day silver card That is a very sneaky way to exploit the system. I like that you came up with it, but I also feel maybe it would be better for it to not work that way for the LC contest. The top brackets are already hard enough to hit top4 in even if you save up every PXP reward normally. Adding double PoV rewards into that would not improve things I think.

Thanks for the heads up, I had not noticed that and I'm running on the black hair trait. Fortunately I had 8 potential members for that team, so was able to swap in Kichi to restore GS3 bonuses. This change is so wrong... Edit: reported it to the content-bugs channel on discord. No harm in trying to get it fixed I think.

The event page is blank and the contest shows orb rewards instead of shards if you still need to get (some of) the girls. It's been reported to KK and is being looked at.

Exactly. More dedicated players, or at least a higher percentage means more of them are putting in the effort to stay in the top bracket. And it's a threshold thing too. If you have 4.9% dedicated players out of all active ones then they all fit in the top bracket. If you have 5.5% dedicated, you're going to have a way more intense contest to stay in the top 5%.

If I count the girls in the Kinky Cumpetition category in the harem screen, there are currently 58 listed, so if there are around 70 in total, we've gone a lot further than halfway.

I would like that. :-)

Yes, I just saw it working properly again on for me too. I do wonder whether we should expect this change to re-appear in the near future. That works out well in this case but I'm personally on the stronger static typing side of the spectrum. My feelings on this particular bit of JS flexibility are more mixed to negative. That said, BDSM has a small issue with the world 10 girls in the villain chooser popup that would probably not have appeared when using '==' instead of '==='. @zoopokemon there is a small PR waiting for you to fix that by turning those girls' id numbers into strings.

I've noticed that when I'm building a team for a champion (both regular and club) then the checkmarks for matching poses no longer appear. I'm using HH++ BDSM.

Some people get old faster than others. Honestly, time of membership should ideally be a factor, but at these numbers of posts, you're either producing good posts or you'll have been thrown off the forum by an irate moderator.

No, it didn't. We've seen different DST related bugs every year. Generally they are disruptive but not easily abusable. I think one year the daily missions didn't show up, and on another the daily contest ran for an hour longer than it should (or did it end an hour early, I don't fully recall). To me it seems like KK do fix these bugs after they occur. What appears to be lacking is that they run a test ahead of time to find and fix bugs before they occur.

Thanks. Now that the game just came back from me, I had a chance to look at my new league. I see Sovereign in there with 111 D3 wins under his belt. Given that, I'll work for a top 4 again this week.

Indeed, mostly as you say. Gogeta remained on top and I managed to just pass you for 3rd by a few points. ( @E. N. D. already posted the final scores). I tried using 4 chlorella on tuesday to deal with most of the strong players that had a reflect skill equipped on their teams. While it's still painful how many points you lose on that, it did seem to help overall.
