Floor 1000 is more or less a milestone anyways. I'm Level 416 currently with three fully upgraded Mythics and one half upgraded one and I still fail to get past 1000. By now I am stuck for three months at this level. 😜

They also still govern your own player character's stats, don't they? Ergo which stat is responsible for attack power, ego, defense and harmony.

Didn't we already have a Cumback Contest this week? 😁 Looking at it Key Kuro would be indeed next, yet I'd expect to start next week, as the date of September 1st also suggests.🤣

Yea ok, on one hand people might say it's a bit of a lazy approach yet on the other it is as far as I know a pure visual thing that doesn't impede any in-game functions so it is probably low priority. 😅

I can confirm this bug as well, seems to be a visual one where the green Exclamation mark doesn't disappear and in the Background screen is placed an extra time on the right on any page of the Change background. Interestingly, the bug only appeared for me after I indeed won a new background from the Sex Champion Alban, as seen in Picture 1: The green "new" moniker in the corner of the new background never disappears and on the right there's the extra exclamation mark. Picture 2 shows the extra exclamation mark on the last page, yet it is indeed on all pages.

That's Dicktator III, the highest possible league where only players of very high level and with at least 4 or 5 Mythics should be capable of ranking in the top 30. The name of the league gets shown normally if you hover over the symbol though.

It says "event missions" ergo it means most likely the Daily Missions and possibly also the Daily Goals. Therefore it applies only to the first two parts of the activities page, Daily Contests and Places of Power are exempt as the first one a reward can indeed be "held" for 21 days and reclaimed later while Places of Power rewards cannot be missed at all. It means that you'll get additional booster items if you didn't collect/finish all Daily missions on a given day (and thus missed the 150 free kobans) and possibly also if you didn't collect all five chests in Daily Goals, although I'm not sure about the second one.

Luckily they replaced it with 20 extra combativity. 😄

The season pass and gold card frankly are what allows one to compete in many contests in the first place as they give a player quite a bunch of extra resources. Path of Attraction is the general name for the end-of-the-month event and it arguably does have some neat prizes, yet the second path is very expensive with 7200 kobans. I usually try to save up for this by using the koban prizes from the season pass and the gold card. Unlocking the second paths for both PoA and the Path of Valors is pretty difficult but manageable if you can generate a steady income by either leagues or daily contests in combination with the gold card and daily mission freebie kobans. Path of Glory on top is quite impossible though (at least for me and my status right now). On my Nutaku account I just finished my first year of playing on July 6, being Level 404 with 377 guys while on the main server I have to get to October 23 to get the one year full. There I am level 393 with 365 guys. Yea, the ability to collect money and battle villains without paying kobans for it is a very useful ability from the monthly cards. I do have three Mythic guys by now, one I got due to a money gift in RL (paysafecard) which allowed me to buy a bundle that gave me around 700 Combativity. Combined with Sandalwood perfume that did the trick. For the other two I had to do meticulous planning though and ignore both the Classic Event (start of month) and Orgy Days for two months in order to gather enough Combativity (through Daily Goals, Path of Valor and Season Pass) and more Sandalwood perfumes. Mythic guys can be worth it if you really want to compete in the Dicktator-level leagues, but they're very expensive to upgrade so you need to invest a lot. Depending on the blessings and effective managing of boosters if you have several 5-star Legendary guys you can be also quite competitive though up to Dicktator I at least. Kinky Cumpetition is arguably one of the worst events in terms of kobans to effectiveness ratio hence why I tend to ignore them most of the time. Only if I have a huge amount of kisses (for example winning the last stage of several champions where I already won all other prizes) do I take a semi-dedicated shot. The chance to get shards for the Cumpetition guy in the leagues is pretty low anyways.

From what I've gathered as a "mostly" f2p player (mostly because i do allow myself the Gold Card and the Season Pass) you can compete and also become a quite strong battle player over time who can place in the top 30 in higher leagues. The thing is though that as a f2p player you have to be much more patient and also accept to "miss" some guys when they first appear, especially when it comes to Mythic guys (who are designed to be mostly for players who pay real money) and events like Kinky Cumpetition. You need to patiently build up your resource stocks, sometimes over months, and still prioritize which guys to upgrade, especially any 5-star legendary available. Prioritization is also required on which events to participate in and where to spend hard earned kobans. The bonus path on Path of Valor costs 3600 each time, Path of Glory 5400 and Path of Attraction at a month's end 7200. Those needed koban amounts are huge and almost impossible to afford for f2p players who can't earn kobans regularly by placing in the leagues high enough like i.e. at least Dicktator I 30th place or higher. Therefore one has to look at which of these three gives the most benefits and save kobans only for that one, especially when playing not on the main server where you don't get all leagues. --- In general though considering how many additional "features" they introduce which cost extra kobans I do think they should introduce another possible way to earn kobans from in-game features apart from leagues, finish all daily missions and the odd temporary Place of Power.

Right now there isn't any way to gain missed league guys. The devs have stated that all guys shall eventually return or rather given another chance to be gained, but right now the guys in League, Path of Valor or Kinky Cumpetition have no known way to do so. Don't fret though, I missed already five of those league guys because I often get unlucky with the ranking, having a very high rank one week and then getting promoted to a higher league I can't yet participate in effectively resulting in missing needed charts. I remember the most frustrating issue was Junior which I got 99 shards for.

In the article the authors explicitly ask to not mention the codes directly, you have to find all five of them by reading and searching the article itself. I've tested all five this morning and they worked on both Nutaku and the Main Server. Can't say for other servers the game may run on though.

I won't spoil the actual codes but you can find a whopping five of them in the Kinkoid Anniversary article. The prizes are also quite generous with 300 gems of all types, +100 extra energy, +20 Champion tickets, whopping 40 Kisses for Season and fully 50 Combativity. The latter two can be very useful for the upcoming Path of Attraction. I don't know how long these codes will last, but if I had to guess I'd say for the remaining time of the anniversary.

I also found some visual discrepancy with Sibin and Monk Karu: Their eye color seems correct but with the hair the bio says they have blond hair when in all their poses and the unlocked star scenes both their hair looks very much silver to me.

While it isn't exactly a gift code I do want to remind the fellow folks on here that during the anniversary event there is a free bundle every day for the duration of it. The first one today is an extremely valuable Epic x10 Pachinko orb which guarantees a new guy.

On Nutaku it's missing as well just like on the main server. Eh well, I wonder if the players will get some compensation for the fact that several possible kobans cannot be earned today.

I'm now stuck at Temple 1000 of the Pantheon for two weeks already. Even with blessed guys I didn't manage to win there yet and I am using a team of one fully upgraded Mythic guy (6 stars) and six fully upgraded Legendary 5-star guys. But figures, maybe Level 600 (on the guys) and Level 384 (Player) is still too low to effectively tackle this challenge.

Event Pachinko only makes sense to try if you have a) already got all event guys you can get via villains and champion shards and b) orbs for it (they look like 4 purple orbs stacked in a square) but I don't know if you can get those orbs anywhere in normal gameplay or if they are exclusive to bundles you have to pay real money for. Getting the guys from Epic Pachinko is a vabanque game though for low and mid-level players though as it has probably hundreds of guys available. By now I've collected 339 guys and the Epic Pachinko pool is still filled to the brim with guys I still miss.

Reduction of the bonus path price in PoG is nice on one hand yet on the other I do not think it will help much when there are so many other koban sinks and no real good koban income possibilities apart from leagues or spending real money. PoG -> costs 5400 kobans now. The only perk of the bonus path arguably is the second 5-star Legendary guy. PoV -> 3600 kobans twice a month with arguably better overall prizes on the second path despite the second guy being "only" a 3-star Legendary because there you get a Sandalwood perfume mythic booster, several extra pachinko orbs, kisses for the season and tons of legendary EXP books. Mythic Days, Legendary Days, Mythic Revival and Kinky Cumpetition are also very koban-heavy events due to needed refills etc., depending partly on luck how many kobans you need. PoA -> 7200 kobans for the second path which arguably also has quite some juicy prizes such as 2 extra x6 Mythic Pachinko orbs, 11 extra x1 Epic Pachinko orbs and 6 million extra cash. Adding all this together to participate in all or most of these you'll need at least between 20.000 and 30.000 kobans per month, something I'll dare to assume is impossible to achieve without spending real money or placing in the top 15 always in the Dicktator II or III leagues on the main server. On other platforms like Nutaku the Dickator leagues don't exist so it is even more impossible there. --- I'm also honestly a bit at a loss why there are evermore 1-star guys introduced. Last time I checked these were included to give newbie players an easy way to quickly increase harem numbers (and thus some quick extra cash income) but they don't count towards "number of guys"-requirements or champion battles and are of no real use beyond the extra cash and helping to fill gaps in Places of Power. There are already so many of them that it is quite enough to give new players a sort of accelerated start while advanced and veteran players have almost no more use for them. If you have dozens of fully upgraded guys which give you 10.000+ cash even the extra cash advantage diminishes somewhat overtime while leveling them beyond 250 seems to be a waste of gems.

Like said the Pantheon gets murderous after certain levels and the "Boss" levels are always extra difficult because of the passive perks (which you cannot see for the enemy teams) but which govern things such as heal per hit, chance and extra damage for critical hits etc. For comparison, I am level 379 on the main server and my current battle team are 90% legendary 5-star guys on Level 600 and I still get wrecked on Temple 1000 every single time. The general gist to increase attack/defense and ego is a combination of increasing your own player character stats in the market and leveling up your primary battle team guys. For ego, there's also the "harem bonus" which gives an extra boost based on the overall level of all guys you have. There is a FAQ & Guides thread but I don't think there's a specific tutorial for Team Building. Generally there is no perfect team that can be built due to Blessings, Elements and the passive Bonuses that apply to both your team and the enemy ones (yes, even the AI teams in the Pantheon have passive bonuses which you cannot check but see i.e. with massive healing per hit). Basic notions for team building and getting attack, defense and ego high are: 1. Always use fully upgraded guys who have all available stars unlocked (via gifts), ideally 5-star legendary guys who are the strongest apart from 6-star Mythics but the latter are very difficult to get and very expensive to upgrade. 2. Do not waste gems by leveling up hundreds of guys parallel in your harem. Prioritize those with good strength potential like 5-star guys which you try to level as high as possible to become your primary battle team candidates. 3. Increase your own player character stats at the market, first concentrating on the primary stat to maximize attack and ego. Defense is increased by the other two stats but not as high. 4. When you have more than seven highly leveled strong guys you can start to pay attention to Blessings and switch out team members to take advantage of these bonuses. 5. Pay attention to the elemental make up of the enemy team. If you can assemble a team with the element superior to the one used by the enemy team, you get either a +20% critical hit chance or +10% damage and ego. 6. Apart from the actual seven guys who fight, all other guys in your harem also contribute to the passive bonuses. Although you can boost certain passive bonuses even more by paying attention to which element the seven guys in your team have. For example if all seven guys in your team are of the blue "sensual" element you will get a whopping 21% bonus of healing per hit plus the additional bonus from the rest of blue-elemental guys in your harem. Playing around with the elements, passive bonuses and the blessings is an advanced thing though to optimize your current teams output and possibly specialize it against a certain specific enemy team. Training a good pool of strong guys with maximum unlocked stars and level as well as increasing your own player character stats is the basic and first strategy to go. How strong you'll actually get of course depends on which guys you already have in your harem. If 5-star Legendaries are not available, 3-star Legendaries or 5-star Epics, Rares or Commons are the next best thing.

Jeez, that's so stupid and somehow frustrating. Karter is one of several guys I was looking forward to gain. There should really be a possibility to get guys you missed that are older than two years (and aren't Mythic or available in Pachinko) in a permanent feature that isn't a resource-draining event.

Yea, that's why I put a "maybe" into the sentence. If there are guys I really want then I might participate nonetheless at least partly. Back on to the topic of order of guys in events though. In the current cumback contest #17 didn't we get the wrong guy there? I was expecting Karter to be the next one based on how they seem to do the older PoA guys first. The guy we get on the current contest, Ryoga, was the 4th guy of PoA: The Haremvoice and I would have expected the order to go Karter -> Seki -> Katze -> Ryoga.

Sharkbite doesn't show up because there are no shards left to win. In the first picture on the left side it says: Total shards remaining: 0 800 shards available in: [Remaining time] Mythic Guys are not available the entire time. There is a limited pool of shards for all players in the whole game and if the counter reaches 0 you can't win any shards for the Mythic Guy. You need to wait until the pool refreshes and then be quick enough to get shards before it runs out again. Also, you never get more than 1 shard at once when going for a Mythic Guy.

Since the last update there's a blank theme for 600 kobans on the Hero page: Dunno if there's an error with an existing one or if there's a new one which doesn't work.

Normally they should just be added to the total that's already there. Meaning if you have 20 and get 4 from PoV the total should go to 24. Did you reload the page once? Sometimes there needs to be a refresh to update visuals or sometimes you have to reload and click the reward again for it to register.
