It is unexpected for me but I finished my first PoA. I used all reward combativity, energy and kisses. :) Just looking at the 0* poses, I am glad that Keira and Usukami are the free girls. They look really sexy. Tachibana looks cute (and I like cute girls) but not as sexy as the others. And Mala is hot but I am simply not so much into demon girls. Good luck for the last 24 hours.

Thanks to the good tips I got in my Q&A thread I got Nanny Maid Keira in less than 24 hours. That was easier than I thought but without the tips I guess I would struggle a bit. Goal reached. It is not a question to the community just thinking out loud: "Now I want to know, which tier I can finish with my three week old account."

It was thinking out loud but no problem. ^^ Next time I will mark it with "thinking out loud" but that is a general problem with writing instead of speaking. Happens to everybody. Yeah, I think this thread reached the end. There were many questions and they are answered properly. So, right now, I do not have any questions. This thread could be helpful for other beginners but I doubt they want to read so much text and with so many changes over the time this thread could quickly be outdated. It would be easier for them to open a new thread with own questions, like you told me two weeks ago. I know it is just an example, but no, I will not open a thread with that title. I doubt there is much of an interest in the community of how far a 3-week old account can go on PoA. Most of you are far ahead of that and beginners would not find that thread (if they are interested in it) because it is somewhere at page 13 of the Q&A section. Edit: Reposted my initial post in the event thread with a side note. ^^

Ah, sorry. I thought it would fit there because I had no question about it. In general, that post was not a question. Just an information which tier I am at that event. I thought my post would be similar to all the contest result posts in the Legendary Contest thread. Then I will update my results in my thread.

Thanks to the good tips I got in my Q&A thread I got Nanny Maid Keira in less than 24 hours. That was easier than I thought but without the tips I guess I would struggle a bit. Goal reached. Now I want to know, which tier I can finish with my three week old account.

Sorry, that I could not help so much. Maybe the other players know something about it except randomness.

First, I am new to the game, so I just can answer with knowledge I found here in the forum. Not much battle experience. If my answer does not help, you have to wait for the experienced players. I am sure they will answer you properly. The performance handbook explains that two things are important for critical hits. The element (physical, brown) (click here) Harmony (click here) RNG 1. The more physical girls in the team, the higher the crit rate but you do not see how many physical girls are in his harem. The passive bonus from 100 physical girls in the harem gives you 7% additional crit rate. 2. I would recommend reading the article of Slynia in the link above. I cannot explain it as good as him. In short, if you have more Harmony than your opponent, your crit rate is higher than his one. 3. Random is random, nothing to explain about it. I just stopped getting upset because of crits after my opponent with the same Harmony and same amount of physical girls in both teams (I do not know his passive bonus) critted seven times and I zero. It is just a game and not good for my heart to get upset by such simple things. :)

I just wanted to thank you for all your useful tips. I am sure the tips for Boulie2 will help me in X months (or years? I do not know how fast my level will raise), too. @Boulie2 It is fine with me that you asked in my thread. Now I have a small glimpse in where players with level 350-400 can struggle with. I think that will help me a little bit for my "late game". Now, I will try to save some money, maybe I can do tier 11 or 12 of the PoA. Shop reset is just 4 times a day now, because my XP gain is not high enough for two additional resets. So I am forced to save money. If some questions pop up in my head, I'll be back.

@Vexen666 That is exactly what I meant. @bolitho76 understood it the right way. Sorry if my texts are not easy to read/understand but I am not a native English speaker. I try my best to make them understandable. So, I read two or three times my text before I post it to make sure it is understandable and has not many grammar mistakes but it does not work out every time. And I tend to make sentences short or hard to understand if I am tired, sorry. Thanks again for your help. That is fine. Then I will farm less difficult Champions for equipment and the stronger Champions for 5* girls and events. Nice, thanks. I never played a game with so many countdowns (one or two event timer, harem money collect timer, shop timer, PoV timer, etc) like this one and therefore I am wondering why there is no expiry timer in the contests. Would be nice if something like that could be added, especially for new players. Okay, I will keep buying books and gifts until I run out of Ymen. If I reach the needed affection points, I will save some money. It should not make a big difference if I start saving money now or later. The shop reset is at lower level more frequently than on higher levels, so I will not spend money so often like now. I am resetting the shop 5-6 times a day. I assume that the shop will reset just 4-5 times with more required XP for a level up. So I will spend a bit less Ymen unless the shop will get more legendary books/gifts around my current level (145). I still have to learn how optimized teams against Champions look like. I know, that the poses of the girls have to match the pattern of the Champion but I have to find out what is about their main stat. E.g. the Champion has Know-How as his main stat. Will girls with their main stat Know-How give me more defensive or is their attack stronger? I saw the defensive stat rising if a Know-How girl attacked. Will Charme Champions need Charme girls and Hardcore Champions need Hardcore girls? Then I will focus on 5* Legendary and Common/Starter girls. And everything else if I progress further. That numbers are nearly identical with what I got in those events. I think, I can collect some of their shards now and they will come back some day in an event/Orgy days, so I can collect the missing shards. Am I right? And I forgot the easy to claim girls from missions. ^^ Thanks for your listing. Yep, that is perfectly right. I think my question was unclear. The first days I played the game I had no temporary PoPs. I do not know if it was because of too low level or I have to reach a certain world but one day they popped up. I saw the countdown of 7 days and thought: "Ok, let's do the temporary PoPs. The permanent PoP can wait because the temporary PoPs will diasappear after 7 days." I wanted to know if there will be new temporary PoPs every 7 days after the old one run out of time or if there will be some days (3, 5 or more days) no temporary PoPs and I can only do the permanent PoP for some days. Just to be clear, now I am doing parallelly permanent and temporary PoPs. On the other side I realize that this question is not really important because I will see it myself while I play the game the next months. Yay. :D She will be claimed within the next 32 hours. ^^ I have stored 88 tickets now. I think, you mean 55 or 115 tickets. So I can play 33 tickets now. My Goal for Path of Attraction will be the first girl. After her I would have to spend around 10.5M Ymen which I cannot stock up if I buy all books and gifts every time the shop resets. On the other side, I am not even sure if I am able to beat 48 players in PvP for the first girl. I leave the easy targets in League untouched, so I can beat them while PoA is running and in Season it depends on luck, 2 wins -> 2 loses -> 1 win -> 4 loses -> and so on. That will be the part where I struggle most. Well, and I have to sell some 4XP, 9XP books because I do not have enough equipment (51 in stock) which could be sold. xD Thanks for the tips. I have 63217/85050 affection now, so I am not too far away from my 5* goal. And some additional 5k Affection would be nice. :) I fell into bankruptcy after clearing the shop every reset. xD I have 370k Ymen now. Therefore I will not be able to reach the later tiers but I will struggle with the PvP missions anyway. I should be able to clear the first cash mission. On tier 4 the reward is 6-7M Ymen and for clearing tier 5 I have to spend 25k x [player level, I will be around lvl 150] ~ 3.75M Ymen. Yeah, like I said before, my goal will be the first girl. Tier 11 is too expensive for me (spend 10.5M Ymen).

Sorry, for my late reply. I think most of you thought, that I show up one time and never come back. First thanks to all your replies, that is a really nice welcoming for a newbie. I know it is bad manner to disagree with an experienced player while I am new to the forum but I played games where it gives you a huge bump spending your premium currency in the first days. I was asking if this PoV is something like this because I do not know the game well and the people in the forum are mostly experienced players so I thought I could ask for their advice. The reason why I am looking like an impatient kid: I am at a certain point of my gameplay and the PoV ends in 5 days (at date when I asked), so I have to make up a decision until that day. I did not know that the users are responding so fast and detailed (again, sorry for my slow response). That is not in every forum the case. I usually look in the forum of the games I am playing to get some tips. Just to prove that I am able to collect premium currency I am playing two other gacha games for 6/8 months and did not spend a single gem in one game and spending just some jewels on two characters which are must-haves. To find out which characters are must-have chars, I have to search for information in forums, videos and other places. And there I am now, in the forum. Your advice might be helpful for this game but not for every game. In this game are so many ways to spend different resources and many ways to play it, that it confused me. Other games have two or maybe three paths. Sorry if I do not address everybody but I am thankful for all your tips. To sum up all I learned now: Unlocking more Champions with champion tickets. Saving as many tickets as possible for Path of Attraction (3rd week of the month around 80-100 tickets). Playing one ticket each Club Champion to get one shard. Maxing girl priority 5* over 3*, Starter/Common > Rare > Epic > Legendary (exception Legendary 5* because of high power and useful for late game) Saving up as many kobans as possible for at least two months. Leveling up Places of Power to level 4 and later to level 9. (high priority) Do not auto assign girls in Places of Power. Spending kobans on Path of Attraction or Valor just in case I reached a specific tier/the end of the path without spending kobans for this tier/the end. Deciding near the end of the event if I would like unlocking the second path. Not at the beginning. Saving Season and Path of Valor rewards for Legendary Contests and/or Path of Attraction. Sorry for not clarifying it before and thanks for your tips. The 98 Gina and Lulu shards are the result of my mistake farming for Peeping Virginia and Vermella. Both were on Ninja Spy Villain. From now on, I will focus on Dark Lord, Grunt and Edwarda. You got me. My first thought: "Did I miss some hidden magic from the avatars?" Then: "Puh, I am not totally dumb." That is nice to know. Welcome back. I am aiming for 7 to 8 hours for the important PoPs (permanent, 1.4M Ymen, epic orbs, 3 champion tickets), then I can start three turns. The less important PoPs (boosters, gifts and the only jewels PoP) get two runs = 10 hours. Doing four 7-8h PoPs and three 10h PoPs parallel (Lvl.4). I had a bad P2W experience ten years ago. So I do not spend money so quick on games anymore. Just spended 20 bucks on two games I am playing for 10 years. So maybe I will spend here some money if I am three or more years playing this game. Will the temporary Places of Power change every 7 days and I get new ones or do they randomly pop up? My temporary lvl.3 PoPs run out and I got immediately new temporary lvl.4 PoPs. Now, I beat the first and the second champion. 2-3 turns for the first champion pre-steps, champion himself 5 turns and 4-8 turns for the second champion pre-steps, champion himself 11 tickets. Yesterday, I was a bit surprised, I entered the fifth world “The Juy Sea” and now are all Champions unlocked. At the same time started the Legendary Contest event, so I do not know if all Champions are unlocked because of world 5 or the event. I had not beat the second champion at that time. I thought I have to beat every Champion to unlock the next one. Is that a bug or a feature? Should I rerun the first and second Champion? Is the equipment on stronger champions better than on weaker ones? I mean I bumped from level 116 to 146, so the upgrades I would get from the pre-steps are way better then the ones I have. It happened what I was afraid of, I am lacking 2000-6000 attack power, 2000-4000 defense, 3000-7000 harmony and 10000-40000 ego compared to other players at the same level. They also have girls up to level 400. So I would assume I should rerun them for the equipment and not he legendary 3* girls. I doubt I will do some serious impression on Murane, Any or Shtupra because I needed 11 attempts to defeat the second Champion but I will see it tomorrow (Legendary Contest). It pisses me of a bit that I always have to use one ticket for the last hit but I know that feeling from an other game. I got Lavender (100shards) in the Legendary Contest today. Thanks to @bolitho76 for the hint using my XP packs from the Path of Valor otherwise I would have used them one day to late and had a hard time to get her. Now I am wondering if I can claim her on day four of the Legendary Contests to get 50k medals for getting a new girl or will the Lavender shards expire after 24 hours, so I have to claim her today? Now I dropped back to 3M Ymen. I have 252k XP in books (+32 20k books from starter gift and 6 level 350 books) and 45k affection in gifts. So I could easily bring all my untouched girls (6/28, 2 common, 1 rare, 1 epic, 2 legendaries = 45k XP) to level 250 (the other girls are level 250) for more endurance, more girls for the PoPs and if I get a weak girl in the champion attempt (I am waiting for the contest). But I am lacking affection points and cash to get the 5* Legendary Lavender to 5* . My plan would be: Stop buying books until I have more Ymen stocked up. Getting my girls to level 250. Getting 7 common 5* girls to 5 stars. Awaken them and leveling them up to 300. Focus on legendary 5*. Not sure about point 5. There are some options in my head. 1. Option: 6 common 5* girls to 5 stars and the 7th will be the legendary 5* girl. 2. Option: Upgrading more than 7 common 5* girls to 5 stars to have 3 girls of each colour and then focus on legendary 5*. What should I do with my already maxed 3* rare girl (Peeping Agate) and maxed 3* legendary girl (Revenge)? Awaken or leaving them where they are? If I compare my 5* commons with my 3* legendary my legendary girl is a bit weaker in overall but one stat is a bit stronger (Know-How) which can be useful in PoPs. But twice the amount of affection and cash does not seem to be worth it to do it another time for being “competitive”. It is just worth for the cutscenes. So upgrading legendaries 3* become low priority like all of you already told me. Do not worry, that is not my goal. Catching all girls in a game which has been running for 5 years with more than 1000 girls will be impossible. I will gain 1-3 girls a month. In 500 month a bit less than 10 years I could get all the girls which are in the game at the moment. But there will be more added every month. My playstyle will be or is already like this: Saving up kobans until … I do not know when I really want to spend them. It feels like in this game is nothing really necessary which cannot be bought with one or two month playtime. I will not try to be a top player (I doubt I will catch up in a game which already has been running for 5 years), I just try to tweak my harem to be not the last in my brackets. Collecting girls from villains. Every other girl can wait. If I get one, lucky me. 5* commons for the win. :D Trying to get one girl from the Orgy days and maybe from the Legendary Contest. Stock up energy, combativity, etc. for the last ten hours of a day and spend them on the next contest to get more points unless I need them for the running contest. Using my experience and daily rewards to reset the market after I cleared a market which resetted by time. Using some kobans for a refill to get more kobans in the contest, e.g. using 90 kobans to get from place 2-4 to place 1 means winning 210(=300-90) instead of 120 kobans. ^^ Goals (long-term wise): 3 common 5* girls of each colour. Replacing them bit by bit with legendary 5* girls. Oh before I forgot, I used my kobans to upgrade PoP to level 4, reached world 5 (The Juy Sea) and got place 29 in Wanker II by playing all tickets I had (I won maybe ten fights xD). And yes, I am looking into the wiki from time to time. Damn, this post is a mess but it is hard writing it with a plot. Did I forget something? Maybe. But I do not know it, yet. This becomes more a general help thread. Shall I change the title or should I have opened a new thread? Thanks for all who read my post until the end.

After being told to open a new thread I will ask again because I am still a bit unsure what to do. First, what is my gaming progress so far. I started the game 13 days ago and I am at level 111 right now. Collected 19 girl so far. With Gina and Lulu 98 shards, Bunny's mother in skis 64 shards and Peeping Solveig 80 shards I will have 3 more girls soon. I already paid around 3600 kobans to get Peeping Virginia and Vermella. Probably a mistake but I am still a beginner. At the beginning, I did not realize that the Market is resetting every time I level up, now I try to level up slowly to get as many books and gifts as possible. In Leagues I easily got the 1st place in Wanker III but now I am in Wanker II just somewhere 31st-45th. Maybe I drop to 45th-60th. So I think I will not play next week to get back to Wanker III. In seasons I just try to get as far as possible (Tier 21 right now). I doubt I will get there a girl the next 3 or more months. I already read the threads "Performance book" and "Frequently Asked". They are really helpful. Now I am sitting on 3202 kobans after collecting all 150 koban rewards from sex friends. With the daily missions I will reach the 3600 kobans needed to unlock the second path of Path of Valor. Right now I am at 1903 points in Path of Valor. With all free combativity, worship and champions attempts I should end up at 2871 points. To have all answers in the finally right place here are the answers I got so far. From the Path of Valor thread: Sorry for this mess. This forum style, where I have to open a new thread instead of using an old one with a similiar theme, is quite unusual to me. In other forums I am usually scolded if I did not use the search and reuse an old thread (five years and older is no problem). On the one side bolitho76 and DvDivXXX recommended, not to spend kobans and on the other side hollymolly would spend them as long as I can reach 2500 points, which boarder I should pass. Now I am still unsure. I did not claim the 100.8k XP from Path of Valor, so I will get a bump of 10 level I think. hollymolly asked for my priorities. My priorities are ..., well, I do not know the game well, but after the few days of playing I think leveling quick is not the best way to get a lot kobans. Obviously I want to collect girls (I thought that is the main reasons for the game) but after hearing your answers, this one girl is not worth the 3600 kobans but the whole path is worth it. Now I am more confused than before. But a silent voice in my head says I should skip the extra path. Maybe skipping the 100.8k XP, too? Now you have more infos about my currently situation, would that change your opinions of spending on the second path? Sorry for asking three times and the long text. Please ask for more details if I forgot something. Edit: I forgot my second question. Through the temporary Places of Power I was able to gain 15M Ymen and 45 champion tickets. I spend the money on the books and gifts in the market to improve my girls. I am lacking more gifts than books at the moment (still not able to awake, but soon, so I will have less books). I read somewhere, that I should not have more than 7 champion tickets before the daily reset to gain 3 free champion tickets. I am playing champions every day for 5 days now. Should I just save my tickets and defeat the champion every day as I do now or should I spend some tickets on the club champion where I just can make 50k damage in one attempt. I think I should save them, shouldn't I?

Thanks, you two for your answers. I am hanging at 1900 right now because I already spend kobans for combativity to get Peeping Virginia and Vermella. Probably a mistake but I am at the beginning. I will end up at 2800 if my calculations for the regenerated combativity, worship and champion attempts are correct. That is funny. It took me 13 days to level 111. xD Because this seems to be off-topic I will open a new thread in Q&A. So you need not to answer here any more. This forum style, where I have to open a new thread instead of using an old one with a similiar theme, is quite unusual to me. In other forums I am usually scolded if I did not use the search and reuse an old thread (five years and older is no problem).

@bolitho76 Thanks for your advices. Then I will have some time to collect some kobans. I was not sure if my noob question is in the Path of Valor topic in the right place because it looked like in-depth discussions to me. I posted my question with your answer in that topic, so it should be in the right place now. And sorry for confusing with my post about the drop rates. I did not make a spreadsheet, but sometimes I got two drops in 20 fights and sometimes two drops in 30 fights. Which should be an average drop of 8%. That might be a bit unlucky but not unusual in my eyes. Drop range was around 3 shards. One time 1 shard and 5 shards, another time 2 shards and 4 shards. I wanted to confirm the 10% drop rate and forgot the most important. @Boulie2 As far as I know the drop rate is 10% for the event girl shards and 90% for the standard drops of the villain. That means you have a chance of 90% to pull money, jewels or Polana and 10% for Chill Albane. Polana does not lower your chances to get Chill Albane.

I asked in the wrong topic, so I will post my question with the answer of bolitho76 here. Then it is in the right topic at least. To be honest, I was a bit intimidated by the last two pages of this topic because I had a noob question and I understand maybe the half of the last two pages. While I read here I got the feeling that Path of Valor is not well developed right now. I hope my understanding will improve in the next months.

Then I was perfectly average. I got 58 shards and had 4600 kobans, so I decided on spending a bit to get the last 32 shards. Maybe not the best idea because I needed 12 refreshes (11 refreshes and 5 of the 12th refresh). Now I have 2700 kobans after gaining some. Looks like I should not do it again. I am new to the game. Just played 13 days. I know there is thread for Path of Valor, but I ask just here. Is it worth to spend 3600 kobans for the second girl and other stuff for a level 100 noob? I will not spend money for this game.
