I believe the proper moniker is "Toon Dude." Show some respect! 😉

Week 10 in D3. After last week's 5th place finish, I decided to go all out this week to see if I could secure my first Top 4 finish, and... ::Final Fantasy fanfare plays:: I did it! I used 15 cordys and 3 AMEs, but since the AMEs were all won from CbC and the cordys from MP, my only cost was 1 refill so I had a net gain of about 4500 kobans. I ended up with exactly 6700 points. Screenshot is from 3.5 hours before end so I have no idea which 3 players passed me, but I'm glad to have not wasted those AMEs! Not sure if I'll try again this week or go for a chill Top 15. I don't see any obvious mega players in my draw but I haven't looked too closely yet.

Still got the touch 🎰

I ended up deciding to save my kobans for next month, since there will probably be a Seasonal Event and I will need to go after both LD girls to have any shot at the 3rd SE girl. Also, next month's LD revival girl should be Stacy, who is an orange-haired Eccentric🔴 like Zorani. I was able to get exactly 40 shards of Lapis from natural regen, so at least I'll have the option of getting her from Sultry Mysteries at some point.

Tough choice. Eccentric and Submissive are the two elements of which I have the least L5s (and consistently have the most gems), but Submissive is the more pressing need. I only have 6 and all are at level 700, whereas I have 8 Eccentric now including Livia (who is unlevelled). And i"m currently trying to clear Karole's Tier 1 anyway. Maybe I'll complete Lapis and then see if I can get Zorani to 40 shards without it being too expensive. I still have some fights I can pick up from Pantheon before I hit wall 1700. Artwise I'm not the biggest fan of this artist ("Toon Dude" in Div's parlance). Something about Zorani's face creeps me out. The dual eye color is handy though.

Week 9 in D3. Came oh so close to my first Top 4 finish! Ended up at 5th. I used 3 cordys twice and 1 Ginseng 2 Cordys the rest of the time. I also used an AM booster for the first time, mostly because I just wanted to know what it felt like. 😁 I also did 1/2 refill on morning of blessing change. Screenshot is from 4 hours before end. I really wish there was a way to know how close I was to 4th. I might try going all out this week. I see a few opponents who have won the league once or twice but I don't see any mega players. I have 3 Dom Mythics at 750 and I plan on getting Michaela there soon so I should have a strong team next week. Plus this is the most fun I've had playing the game in a while. And all those Cordys and AM Boosters I've been hoarding have to get used at some point...

I was somehow even luckier. Got Val Mavin and Acrobats Fanny & Fione from my free spin. 🎰

Waited till the end to milk every sweet drop of natural regen. Ended up getting her with a total of 791 fights, 311 "free" (natural regen, pantheon, seasons) and 480 from koban refills. 5 SP as usual. On the more expensive end for my Mythics, but still not bad - and I really can't complain after getting Lovebot Norou for less than 600 fights. 😊 She is my 18th Mythic overall, and second Playful🟡. Like @Ravi-Sama, I now have at least 2 of every element. It will take me a while to max her, however, as I'm always low on yellow gems and just spent most of the ones I had to unlock 750 for Magical Noemy. I haven't unlocked 750 for any of my Playful L5s yet, so I have to decide where to prioritize my precious yellow gems. I'll probably focus on Esme unless one of the L5s happens to be highly blessed on a certain week. Poor Sugarmama Lupa's Mom is going to have wait a loooong time to see any gems, but I don't feel too bad for her since I spent so much energy getting her Golden variant from that first SE, whenever that was.

If you like her, then go for her. The dual hair/eye colors makes up for her element. And your other 4 Mythics are all great elements(I'm jealous, I had to wait a year for my 1st Blue Mythic). None of the other Yellow Mythics have dual anything, so this is the one to get.

I'm not a big fan of Albane or Kelina, so I too am hoping Venus doesn't get stuck with them. 😉 So does the artist who draws the poses always also draw the affection scenes? I hadn't thought about it before tbh.

A lilac wizardess? Yes, please. 😍 I've been ready for a second Playful🟡 Mythic for a while. I'm still planning on getting Sugarmama's Lupa's Mom in her revival later this month, but now I'll prioritize Esme and stash Lyka for a rainy day (acutally, we've had more rainy (and, amazingly, snowy) days than sunny days here in California lately, so maybe that saying doesn't work right now 😂). I'm excited to see new work by "Venus" but, since we know the first pose at least is several months old (since it's been in Sultry Mysteries), I'm a bit worried that they've had this art in the can for a while and the artist does not, in fact, work at KK anymore. Hopefully we'll get some more new art by them soon to assuage my worries. Herein lies the rub. Some players such as @DvDivXXX and myself love this artist's work and are thrilled to see it featured on Mythics. However, their style is pretty different from the classic Mythic style so I think a lot of players feel similar to @EpicBacon. It already looks like Esme is the least popular Mythic in a long time in terms of pace of shards disappearing, so I fear we will have another Jiggle Santa Claudia situation on our hands. It probably doesn't help that "Venus" has drawn L5s almost exclusively, so I think a lot of people associate her style with Legendary girls.

For whatever reason girls + flowers really gets me, so I'm loving this event. I like all of the girls, but Iris Imogen in particular makes me all 🥴. I have one Event Pachinko orb from SE so I'll try to get all the non-Pachinko girls from Villains/Champions (although Visor is a tough task) and hope I get a lucky roll. Otherwise I'll probably have to wait for her to show up in MD 😭. Here's a little gallery of some of my favorite flower girls off the top of my head.

Week 8 in D3. A new personal best (at least in terms of position, if not total points)! I ended up 8th, although it was a little more expensive than last week as I did 1.5 refills on the day of blessings change and used 3 cordyceps twice. Still a nice koban increase over Top 30. Now my goal is to figure out the sweet spot of using the least amount of resources to still be able to finish Top 15, since I'm probably still a ways away from challenging for Top 4 (although I did finally unlock level 750 recently!). Screenshot is from about 5 hours before reset.

Day 3. I was going back and forth with this Ray guy, but eventually I got tired and went to bed so he outlasted me. Still a good week though.

It's been a long time since I've won a CbC, but I just unlocked 750 last week and I had a lot of Mythics to awaken, so I went for 1st and got it!

On every girl's wiki page, at the bottom of the "Battle Profile and Stats" box, there's a link to a spreadsheet that contains each girl's stats (click Compare her battle-stats with other haremettes with current blessings). If you go to the "Unblessed Stats" tab on the spreadsheet, you can use the "Max Base SUM" column to compare different L5s. Pretty much all of the L5s released in the last year have the same base stats (25.00 on the spreadsheet). The older ones range from 23.75 to 24.75. The different classes (Hardcore, Charm, Know How) are a relic of a previous version of the battle mechanic and don't really matter much anymore; it is the total of all 3 added together that matters. There are, however, some factors other than raw power that you might want to consider when deciding which girls to prioritize giving gems to. Any blessed L5 is going to be stronger than any unblessed L5, which leads many people to prioritize girls that have dual hair or eye colors since that makes them more likely to be blessed. Some players also focus on girls who have rare hair or eye colors since they will almost certainly be used if that blessings comes up. Then there's the matter of taste. I sometimes prioritize girls whose art I like, especially if it's a choice between two girls with similar stats. It might not always be the "right" choice by-the-book, but it increases my enjoyment of the game. 🙂 If you've unlocked level 750, I would prioritize getting your girls that are already at 700 to 750 before giving gems to girls at lower levels.

Yeah @madahmed is spot on. Maxing the first 3 Places of Power will lead to a lot more Mythic Pachinko 1-Game orbs and Great Pachinko x10 orbs, especially if you're able to reset them 3 times a day. Those orbs will then make it easier to win the weekly Comeback Contests, which will give you a good gem income if you play them properly. Also, the Places of Power events that change on a weekly basis (the ones beyond the first 3) automatically level up as your player level increases, and with each level up they give you more resources. So higher level players are getting more rewards from those in general. Lastly, one little trick that has helped me gain more GXP and Affection is to time my player level ups for right after I've just emptied the market. Leveling up resets the market, so you can basically get extra opportunities to buy more stuff if you time them right. This can be especially valuable at lower levels when you're leveling up more frequently. Edit: Got 🥷 by @Ravi-Sama

Lovebot Norou must've heard good things about my harem because she could not wait to join! At 586 fights she is my cheapest Mythic, and that includes a pretty long dry stretch towards the end. At one point last night I was regularly getting 6 or 8 shards with each x10 pull. 😲 She is my 17th Mythic overall, and 2nd Blue/Sensual🔵. 426 fights came from Natural Regen/Pantheon/Seasons/PoV/PoG, so I only needed to buy 160 fights with kobans. Glad I decided to use a headband to quickly beat Pantheon level 1600 so I could use all my stored worship to gain fights. It's been really nice that the most recent LD girl, OD girl, and now Lovebot Norou herself were all on Finalmecia, so I was able to farm blue gems while going after other girls. Even after unlocking level 750 for Angelic Lanäelle a few days ago I still have 6700 blue gems, so I'm not too far from being able to max Lovebot Norou as well. And I have lots of stored affection since I decided a few months ago to start only upgrading the affection grades of L5s once I have enough gems to max them. Pretty soon I'll have 3 maxed Dominatrix and 2 maxed Sensual Mythics, which should help me up my game in D3. I too forgot about February being 28 days. Normally on Day 3 of LC I do enough Champions fights so that I'm just barely below below beating the level, and then I have several days to let the impression automatically decrease before I start doing fights again during PoA. Because February is so short however there was no gap between LC ending and PoA beginning so it's making the Champions portion a lot more tricky for me. 🙃

Decided to take advantage of the three cordyceps I had equipped from the last day of leagues and plow through wall 1600 so I could use the fists from the subsequent levels for Lovebot Norou. My best chance in this case was with my all-eccentric team; the three cordys with no headband gave me a 0.54% chance. I already had a headband in my inventory so I went ahead and equipped it in order to save as much worship as possible for after the wall. It bumped my percentage up to 31.25% and I beat it on the 3rd try. I figure I'll probably be stuck at 1700 for a while so I plan on slowly making my way up the 1600 block and only doing fights when I can use the extra fists for Mythics or other girls.

Alas, my quest for the Qadrifecta came up just short. Draco put up a huge number right out of the gate, so I knew I would have to use all my wiles to win. I waited until late US PT time in the hopes that Draco would be in bed for the night, and then I unleashed my full arsenal, including the 7 girls I had saved from Seasons, PoV, PoG and CbC. In the process I finally unlocked level 750 and was able to max out 3 of my best Mythics (Angelic Lanäelle, Jiggle Santa Claudia and Royal Housemaid). I was feeling great when I went to bed and expected to see the quadruple "1st" when I woke up this morning, but, to my surprise, afure had come out of nowhere and blown me away with a truly astounding number. All I can do is tip my cap - even if I had used up every last bit of my GXP, I wouldn't have been able to match that number. Even though I came up just short, it was a lot of fun strategizing to try and win all 4 days. And I came away with quite a haul of loot: 1 L5 3 Pieces of Mythic Gear (haven't cashed them yet - hopefully one will be Charm/Attack) 5 Mythic-6-Games orbs (sorely needed as I had exhausted most of my stock recently) 875 Blue and Black gems (blue will go toward Lovebot Norou, black toward unlocking level 750 for Bright Agate)

Week 7 in D3. Got my first Top 15 finish! I ended up at 12th. Decided to go for it this week since I was so close last week; I used 2 Cordyceps/1 Ginseng for most of the week and 3 Cordys on Monday and Wednesday. Did one partial refill after blessings change to make sure I would get through all my fights. Definitely my highest points total in D3 so far. Screenshot is from about 4 hours before end. Haven't decided if I'll go all out again this week or save resources. I have a strong team this week but next week's blessings are blah, although I do have 3 of the blessed Mythics. The other good news is that I unlocked level 750 yesterday so my baseline power will start going up. Good luck everyone. Have a great week!

Day 3: I have way more tickets than I can even use so I decided to put in the time to try to get 1st, and it worked! Didn't use any kobans for skips. I'm now one day away from my first quadruple win (quadrifecta?) in LC. I have a lot of stored GXP, and Day 4 is usually my best day, so... 🤞🍀

I used all my EPx1 orbs for DD and my CbC bracket was pretty tough, so I decided to unload about 300 of my GPx10s (I need the GXP for my push to unlock 750 anyway). I really wasn't expecting to finish 1st (seems like I always get sniped in Pachinko contests since I'm not around for reset), so this was a pleasant surprise! I was also able to squeak out a 4th place finish in CbC, so I'm glad I decided to go for it.

Another productive Double Date event for me. I always used to save my EPx1 orbs for LC; then when DD was introduced I started saving them for that - so obviously I had to take advantage of today's 2 for 1! 3 orbs = Hymevarta, Vissihar 2 orbs = Kathy, Parker 14 orbs = Sallie, Cougar Kioko 30 orbs = Arthuria, Merlinda 32 orbs = N/A So, a total of 8 girls from 81 EPx1 orbs. Also got Romantic Levitya and Kootra from the 3 MPx1 orbs I used for the Daily Goal. I still had School Uniform Ankyo in GP and it only took 3 GPx10 orbs for her to hop into my harem along with 100 bonus flowers. Overall, a total of 6 drops (and 11 girls) from 87 orbs.

I think this is my first time winning Day 1 of LC since I reached level 400. Might be my last time too since I don't plan on redeeming the PoG paid path once I'm caught up on the old LC girls (which will be after the next PoG). Daily Contest was actually much closer - I used some of the energy from Seasons to edge past my opponent. 😏 Depending on how crazy people get today, I might just settle for Top 25 and then try to get some MPx6 orbs on Days 3 and 4.
