Got a rare lucky strike on my Nutaku account today when battling a villain: I did know that full 100 shard drops are possible but rare as snow in the Sahara so I thought I'd share it. Interestingly I got way more lucky with "regular" shard drops between 4 and 8 shards on my other account on the main server, getting both guys from the current event obtainable by battling villains way faster on the main server than on Nutaku, so this 100 shard drop above in the last active hours of the event was more or less even a double lucky strike. 😁

Mojo gained depends on the relation to the Mojo already gained by your opponents. If your opponent has much more Mojo than you and you win you get more Mojo and vice-versa. Using the x10 option does not pit you against the same opponent 10 times. Rather you will be paired with 10 random opponents and the win/loss-ratio will be determined by comparing the stats or something.

The whole thing is pretty much a mix of season and Path of Attraction. I just battled Edward and got some shards for Seiryo Screwge (one of the current event guys) which automatically registered me 32 Potions for the new PoV feature. This jumped me up 2 tiers there and I could now if I wanted to gain 500.000 cash and a big purple EXP book as rewards immediately. The second prize pool costs a whopping 3600 kobans which considering you have two PoV each month adds up to 7200, the same price as Path of Attraction. Now this means that if you want to fully participate in both PoV and PoA you'll need 14400 kobans in the bank each month. Quite expensive.

Tbh the avatars are a nice "gimmick" so to say as you can either choose a guy as an avatar who you think suits yourself the best (or one of those you'd be the most interested to hop into bed with 😜) but them blocking possibly more valuable prices was always a bit of a bummer and paying kobans for them always seemed to be a sort of waste for such an important resource. I do get though that the avatars might be a way for the artists to "test" at least a new guys' head and face before making the actual thing and that it can be a help regarding customization. They just shouldn't be blocking more important stuff. But who knows, maybe they can incorporate the avatars differently. Like for example if I purchase (or playing a challenge etc. to get) avatars of guys I'm still missing but which I greatly want that there's a pinboard or something where I can put those avatars on display to "signal" which already existing guys I'm most interested in getting, maybe getting an notification on the account in advance when any of these "wanted guys" comes up in any form to get. Of course this wouldn't work with guys available through Pachinko so when using avatars of those there should always be immediately a notification that this guy is available through Pachinko.

One exception are champions though. 1-Star guys cannot be used against champions, they're mainly intended as starting "filler" to increase the number of guys in the game and thanks to their cheap upgrade costs they're decent early money sources giving 1.200 cash roughly every 90 minutes. As Zamioc Yuki already pointed out though, if they're leveled up somewhat they're also great to use in Places of Power to provide additional manpower to run multiple of the PoPs at once. The more PoPs that can be run at maximum (7 hours) the bigger your overall prize pool and resource income will be. The 1-star guys are not really the best for PvP but they also don't have any actual decisive disadvantage. Once your harem starts to grow and you get green (rare), yellow (epic) and purple (legendary) guys in more quantity the 1-stars will eventually probably become pure extra money givers, but it doesn't hurt in anyway to have them.

By now a good way to get books to level up your guys for free are also Places of Power (legendary purple books) and the Pantheon's Stairway (green books). With a bit of patience one can eventually get quite a lot of EXP books: Leveling up your own hero is quite some harder than leveling up your Harem boys, also since the introduction of gems you can level your boys beyond your current hero level.

Ah ok, so it's just a RNG number, nothing attached to anything. Got it, thanks. 😉

I think epic and legendary guys give less money because their battle stats are better. These guys are meant to be used in battle instead of delivering money while starting, common and to an extent rare guys (those with the green background) are supposed to be the money bringers. That's also why it is advisable to upgrade starting, common and rare guys (especially those with 5 stars) first to consolidate money income and only after that start upgrading epic and legendary guys. For extra money, one can also always go and fight against champions and lose on purpose, getting between 100.000 and 300.000 each time.

Is there are sort of formula on how the time for daily missions is calculated? Because I've noticed a huge discrepancy between the main server and Nutaku on the big event mission: The same mission is scheduled to be more than a hour longer on the main server. Does it have to do with one's level? Or is it again a question of the overall player population? It just strikes as somewhat odd.

Getting 900,000 cash every 6 hours for sure without a percentage chance (like in Places of Power or Daily Missions) is already a huge improvement for money income as is I would say. Having the first three guys give that much on 5 stars was done as a compensation for money rewards being removed in other places, I doubt it is planned to go even further with that, especially when one of the goals of the game is to increase money income by getting more guys into your harem, not simply increasing cash of guys you already have. Who knows though, maybe they'll introduce two or more new guys who offer very high money income on 3/5 stars but have only mediocre battle stats in exchange or something.

Alrighty, mighty thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. "Classic", "Orgy days", "Legendary Contest" and "Path of Attraction" are the events to pay most attention to as a free player imho as the first three give the best chances to actually reasonably expand your Harem, with LC even awarding a 5star Legendary useful for PvP when you finally get enough money and gifts together to upgrade them while the latter gives lots of good rewards as well as four guys at once if you manage to save up the 7200 kobans for the second prize row. "Kinky Cumpetition" and "Mythic Days" are not really worth investing into as the needed investments for them are too high for the prospected rewards from a free or new players' point of view. I do know the Mythic guys have 6 stars and are basically the strongest in raw power for all battle teams, but I've always counted them as a sort of extra goodie for players who invest real money into the game so I'm not actively pursuing to get one. With the blessings in place now there are also chances and times where mythic guys are outperformed by guys of other rarities so they aren't always overpowered in battle situations. Speaking of investing real money though, I've recently found a shop near my home which sells paysafecards so I might be able to invest between 10 to 15 Euros a month in the future. Question is then which is the most effective way to spend. Unlocking the season pass seems very tempting as there are several prizes included which really can make Path of Attraction easier and you get the two guys on earlier tiers taking out anxiety of the season of possibly not being able to reach both guys. Or would it be more effective to pine for at least the silver monthly card? Decisions to make here...

In terms of milestones we have the regular event at a month's start and Path of Attraction at the end. When it comes to the rest of the time though there different events cycling, is there a way to check which events are coming throughout the month? Like Orgy Days and Legendary Contest are arguably the most "player friendly" events and in terms of preparatory resource management it would be dope to know which events are coming up.

I think you get the goodies from the same place you usually can buy bundles from, as a "free purchase" so to say. There doesn't seem to be an extra screen for this.

Ah, that explains it. So far I apparently simply overlooked those arrows, 🤣.

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to here since as far as I know you cannot do x10 or x20 champion performances at once, not even by paying kobans. In all honesty when it comes to season I am actually contemplating if it would be worth to buy the season pass in the future. You can use an anonymous paysafecard and it costs 10 Euros for two months (two season passes) so you can get one card for two months, if solely to use these extra rewards to gain guys that can be permanently missable (Season and PoA). Luckily, I got at least the 2nd season guy as a sort of "consolation" for the two missed ones in PoA of November: Has cost me a further few kobans (I had around 800, now 368 are left) but that was worth it.

The Places of Power are a bit of a lottery, yes, so completely relying on them isn't really advisable nor would it help much if i.e. Combativity is added as one possible prize among several others as it would be unreliable. Since both Combativity and Kisses got removed as a reward from places where they could be got from before there should probably be an alternative. Who knows? Maybe the market could be expanded to include a sort of stock exchange where one resource could be exchanged for another, with costs depending on how many players already did so in the last 24 h.

The exclusivity is fine for stuff like the Mythic guys but in the end the game is a sort of collector's thing as well so making a bunch of guys not accessible runs a little contrary to this. Many players who miss out on some guys do not do so because of lack of trying or the reluctance to spend resources to earn them but because of outside factors like RNG and/or time denying them. Another possible argument that could be brought alongside the question about accessibility of older guys is certainly the great potential for frustration among different parts of the player base, especially if for example some of the guys a player missed are exactly within their interest range so they might want them not only for completion's sake but also because they really like their design and art style. I'm not surprised this being a question asked repeatedly because "collecting guys" (or girls in the Hentai Harem version) is more or less a central part of the game, so the interest in this topic is expected to be high. No one says it has to be easy, but to have the possibility would at least be nice so people don't have to get worked up if they don't manage to reach the second guy in Season or the 3rd/4th in PoA for whatever reason that is outside their control.

Give players a chance to gain guys from Seasons and Path of Attraction-Events they have missed. None of them are mythic rarity or overpowered in any way. This can be done in various ways, perhaps as a "Nostalgia"-feature where old Seasons and PoAs rotate every week and where players looking for certain guys can participate in exchange for some resource fee (maybe 50 champion tickets, 10 Combativity or 1000 gems of every type? To have players choose between using resources for current stuff or chasing older stuff they missed, yet knowing that the chance for the older guys is there). Inside the feature the participating players can move through the tiers of the chosen season/PoA again to try and unlock the guys they missed beforehand, prizes for the individual tiers can be randomized/varied as the developers see fit. If the player in question already owns one or both (seasons)/all (PoA) guys they can be replaced by additional prizes, maybe Pachinko orbs to also give an incentive for general participation. Or there could be a new pachinko holding exclusively guys from previous Seasons and PoA-events, with orbs for this one perhaps being earned exclusively in Pantheon's stairway or possibly even in the current season (since it was said the seasons will get more tiers in the future). Or it could be done as a sort of roulette feature where you spend gems to buy chances to gain shards for previous Season and PoA guys you don't have yet, making the gems a more valuable resource with different uses. The possibilities are certainly plenty and tbh I wouldn't care much about the "how", just that the feature exists as I'm sure plenty of players miss some guys not because they're not trying to chase and get them but because RNG and similar situations outside of their control prevent it, such as I had this November in the PoA D-Tubers on the main server where I couldn't get the second set of guys (Rigel and Albert) because RNG choose a daily contest impossible to fulfill the conditions for Tier 19 in time with. On Nutaku I got all four, but there I am about 100 levels higher and have more resources at my disposal.

Energy, worship and kisses aren't even that much of an issue as you can already get them elsewhere, not to mention especially in case of energy it reloads amazingly fast. Worship can be gained from the Tower of Fame, Kisses can be gained from the champions once you have defeated them 8 times as well as from Season rewards (although as Yuki said those should be saved for PoA if one wants to participate in it). The only issue right now is with Combativity which could clearly use another source of income for players because this resource is not only required for I'd say 4 out of 5 events you also need to battle the world villains for cash and the free guys they provide for your harem. Originally the daily contests provided these extra combativity sources but they've been replaced by gems. Apart from kobans I am inclined to believe that Combativity is the second most important resource to work with.

I feel you, lol. It's because of this type of contest I will miss the third and fourth guy in Path of Attraction this month on the main server. Tier 19, the second to last one, requires to gain 20.000 points in contests which with this stupid contest would require me to invest 50 million of money. It's impossible to gather that much money in just one day.

I did save my season rewards, that's why I even got this far in this PoA. Unlocking the second prize pool actually allowed me to get the first two guys despite being a "newbie" on the main server. It was the bottleneck with required Champion performances which has cost me too much time. I actually did pretty well in the season. This is my current status: Since Season is a day longer than PoA and I still have the Kisses-Prize of Tier 46 maybe I can still gain the second season guy at least?

Y'know it wouldn't be half as frustrating if there was a way to gain these two guys I'm gonna miss now because of RNG rather than a failure of my own in another way later on but nope, so far there isn't a way to gain missed Season and PoA guys. That is the true frustrating thing about it all. That's also the reason why I do not give up the Nutaku account because there I got them all.

Having played on actually Tier 15 is the biggest bottleneck as it requires doing a whopping 60 Champion performances. Getting that done cost me so much time that I think I might miss the third and fourth guy of this PoA simply because there's not enough time left. I had to spend many kobans to reset my three available champions and only now did I reach Tier 18. Already have done 100 of the 120 villain battles so I might soon reach Tier 19: I still can reach Tier 19 but mastering it won't be possible because the Daily Contest is this shit: Calculating it means that in order to score the 20.000 points in contests I would need 50 million money but I only have 13. The event is running a bit more than 13 hours still and I strongly doubt I can gather that much money in time. I do have enough combativity and Tower Tokens to get the last challenge for the third and fourth guy but I most probably won't be able to reach that Tier before time runs out. It's especially frustrating since on my Nutaku account I managed to secure all four guys and even the second guy of the season.

The champions are definitely a bottleneck for newer players in this event chain, although Path of Attraction in general is very resource-intensive despite also holding great rewards. I started my account on the main server roughly a month ago but still managed only to unlock two additional champions while on my older Nutaku account I have all six: L Luckily koban numbers are roughly even now on both accounts so next month I will be able to look into the question if the main server really allows you to get more kobans than the nutaku one. Ideally in preparation for Path of Attraction which is always at the end of a month one would save up on gained Season rewards to save time, but with the champions that isn't really possible as skipping the wait times costs more kobans than one can get via season rewards, not to mention that very new players don't get that far in season the later they join in the current month. --- On missing the guys I think this has been mentioned multiple times already not only by me but it is quite a frustration factor for lots of players who are interested in one or several of the guys in both Path of Attraction and the Seasons (both current and previous ones) and they're literally completely unreachable right now. Like, every month there return several guys from regular events during Orgy days or rarely during other special events, yet many of those are also indirectly available via pachinko. There should be an event or a pachinko mode that also offers chances for the PoA and season guys you're still missing.

Yea, the update today actually addressed quite some of the initial issues pretty effectively I must say. - in Pachinko the gems will drop as additional rewards alongside the other ones. - in Places of Power the original rewards got restored in the permanent ones and we get three more slots for temporary ones meaning overall more prizes if you have enough guys leveled high enough to man all of them. So all in all the week 47 2021 patch is a pretty good update I would say bringing back some more player friendliness. Kudos to the developers to react this quick to removing parts of the imbalances.
