Alright, that's interesting. If each skill has a 100% chance to work, besides stun, then I'd lower stun as well, but still have to try them all. That'd move execute up for sure, meaning you'd only really need to do 71% dmg to defeat a player. Perhaps Reflect is best vs tougher opponents, and Shield is best against weaker ones. Execute is best for the pantheon. I mapped out the tier 5 percentages based on rarity. Ah thanks, I assumed I was taking less dmg, in the first 2 turns. I just have the legendary version of it, so I thought I was taking 20% of the dmg. That moves up shield and execute, and lowers reflect and stun. That means a Mythic girl's 100% reflect refers to the dmg done to the enemy, based on their own Atk, and there's no dmg reduction to the player. Stun looks like this in PSH btw:

Stun probability per turn, w/ an M6, is like this: I think stun is probably one of the the best tier 5 skills, b/c it's the only one that can prevent the enemy's skill from triggering, on top of not taking dmg for 2 turns. It's similar to reflect in that way, except the enemy also takes their own dmg, which makes reflect better imo. Shield is less effective if the opponent crits, so not as good as completely ignoring 2 turns. We don't know how execute actually works yet, so I'd rank it at the bottom. This is how I'd rank them atm. Reflect - No dmg for 2 turns, plus the opponent takes their own dmg. Super sweet. Stun - Higher chance to trigger, and negates enemy skill for 2 turns, but opponent doesn't take extra dmg like reflect. The more turns, the higher the player's atk by the end, but reflect would end it sooner. Shield - Extra HP, which can help defend against an execution, but how often do you even lose in leagues? Should make scores higher on avg in leagues, but not as good as preventing dmg altogether for 2 turns, since it can be destroyed. Execute - Not sure how it works, if it can trigger sooner, and work later, or not. Seems to matter later in the fight, when the opponent has less than 30% HP. By then, I'd rather have negated 2 full turns of dmg, so even if it worked 100%, I'd rank it lowest for now. It's just like 1 crit. Have to test them all, but I like reflect and stun the most so far.

Tier 5 is the "more to come." That snippet at the end actually explained tier 5 afterwards, but it was cut out of the patch notes that were released, since it wasn't finished yet, but mods got to read it all. We knew the effects of tier 5, and the percentages. There's no tier 6.

Refresh to see the images. They're just tables. I consider stun/execute offensive, b/c they take effect on the opponent. The right side of the screen. Shield/Reflect is defensive, b/c they're visible on the player. The left side of the screen. I didn't see the player heal from the reflect dmg. The opponent still healed from their atk, but I took 80% less dmg twice.

There is a pattern, but it's not obvious, until you look at them all together. Those w/ eye color or position tier 3 traits, can either stun or execute. Offensive tier 5. Those w/ hair color or zodiac tier 3 traits, can either shield or reflect. Defensive tier 5.

Each player can only have 1 skill for their team. It's the girl in the middle. If you or the enemy is stunned, skills don't trigger (for whoever is stunned). If shield triggers, it's like an HP boost, that should work regardless. [Shield always triggers] If your reflect triggers, then ideally the enemy's stun wouldn't affect it afterwards, b/c it already triggered, but that needs to be checked. Patch notes said: If your execute triggers, and the opponent had a shield, the shield helps protect the opponent, but only if it's above the HP % threshold. [I suppose shield helps delay execute]. Reflect doesn't defend against execute. I assume execute does nothing if the opponent has 30%+ HP left. Have to test it to see. These skills work vs. regular villains. Seems like there's a 20% chance for them to trigger per turn, which ends up almost being once per fight. Stun is different, it shows the trigger chance up to 35%. I'm testing Venus' reflect on HH, Blaine's stun on CxH, and Proxy Paige's stun on PSH.

Tip to read the patch notes, before speculating. Mods knew about this tier 5 stuff, since girl skills were added. The developers were testing and fine tuning it until now. Didn't see anything about a tier 6. Skills trigger once. They don't stack. Just have to place the girl in the center (first girl). This means even if you had a C5 that worked w/ the overall team's theme, you could max their tier 5 easier than a mythic girl, but it'd probably have a weaker effect by comparison. I had Venus and Golden Hari already maxed to tier 4, for my Capricorn team, and they both have "reflect," so I picked Venus, and maxed her tier 5 w/ 4 bulbs. This means she can reflect 80% of the opponents dmg back to them, for 2 rounds, once per battle [at the start]. I assume the tier 5 skills all have a 20% chance to trigger, which means in a 300 fight league, they'd probably work for 60 fights. It's 20% per turn though, so maybe way more often than that. [They're all 100% except for stun]. It's called "Booty Bounce" lol.

Rotation #0982 (9/12/2023 7:00 EST): Loving Justine ⚫ (February) Mathlete Ankyo 🟠 (September) Sleuthy Spook ⚪ (April) Yeah, probably a name change, not updated on the wiki. I wasn't confused by it, b/c she's often referred to as either Lupa's Mom, or Lyka, which is her first name. I left a comment on the wiki to get it updated. Personally, I'd focus on whichever month usually has a theme I like the most. Like Feb. for Valentine's, October for Halloween, or December for Christmas. I'm considering October. It does make sense to focus on July, but I got them all (or most of them) this year from Kinkversary 23, and emptied the EP pool, thanks to the DD overlap.

Last week, I skilled up Blet and Demi for a Virgo/Physical team, since it was blessed 40%. This week, I'll try a full Capricorn team w/ Venus and Golden Hari's skills maxed. I think they grant an extra 11.2% atk boost. Don't have enough bulbs for an M6, or a 3rd L5 yet. Otherwise, I'd consider upgrading S. Abraël & Lara (missing Nike). I'm using 4 gins and an AME, since not aiming too high. Have 3 voyeur m gear, and level 5-6 common RE. This is how my setup compares to Gogeta's. He's got 4 M6s skilled up. Hence, why I'm not aiming too high w/ this bracket.

Had some decent double date luck w/ the EvP, so I should definitely complete this CE for the 300 omni-gems, as long as this progress isn't somehow lost. I think Talisman Azumi has the best art quality of the bunch, since done by "Venus." It's the most polished. Refined Janine is my fave b/c of the Bleach parody, and I like her outfit's color scheme; I have a blanket that looks just like her cape. Had 74 shards for her, but got her w/ the event pachinko anyway. Cooking Kanako's animation is the most fun to watch for me, it's like a guilty pleasure. So bouncy. Tessa Fowler (left) & Leicht Perlig (right). LG Kumiko was paired w/ Teaching Virginia, so I assume anyone that pursued that M6 also recruited TV in the process. She needed 17 drops from 290 CP, at a 5.86% drop rate, consuming 1.5 SP. I like her the least, but this variant is pretty accurate. Liked the MILF theme overall.

Yeah, this bugs me, b/c I recently had to clear the game's cache in the past week, which removes the fave girls. I know there's a way to save it, but didn't bother. I went through reselecting them manually, but didn't adjust the pose for each, since that's time consuming. Some hover off-screen, which is kinda funny. I second this. I had deja vu about it, when I read your comment, but I just realized that I mentioned it in the leagues++ thread instead.

Still don't have the right amount of Xtals in 3 games, so I checked in on tech support 💻, via discord. There's a holiday in Bulgaria atm, I assume Unification Day (Bulgaria). They're on vacation. Meaning they'll start troubleshooting the mega event ranking reward and Xtal bugs tomorrow. They're aware that it's a widespread issue. Players writing bug report tickets helps to get the IDs of affected players, but since it's widespread, it'll likely get a widespread fix. Tomorrow is Friday, the last workday, so if it doesn't get fixed by then, I assume it could get postponed until Monday. Some tech jargon I read, was that "ranking is cached for an hour." 🤷🏽‍♂️ My hope is that after tomorrow, the proper ranking rewards will be sent to the players that didn't receive them, and it'll be included in the current Xtal totals for everyone, in this current 3 day contest. 🤞🏽

DD Sept. 7th, 2023 HH: 200/1000 shards Spent 7 EvPx1s, and got the 4 CE girls I was missing. Also got 2 m gear, but they're not useful ones. I'll save my 141 EPx1s & 2 EPx10s for later, since my EP pool is empty again. Didn't have a girl available in the MP, but I'll check if there's one tomorrow. No GP girls available. CxH: 650/1000 shards Spent 2 EvPx1s, w/o getting a girl. Spent 1 EPx10 for 2 girls, and 101 EPx1s for 8 girls. Spent 2 MPx6s for 1 girl. Spent 17 GPx10s for 1 girl, and 100 extra "Jewels for Costume" (13k affection). PSH: 250/1000 shards Didn't have any EvPx1s. Spent 123 EPx1s for 4 girls. Spent 2 MPx6s for 1 girl. No GP girls available.

Didn't get anything, after the "3 day contest." No Xtals for being ranked 250-500, and the top 5%. I'm still at 1,467 Xtals total. It's probably bugged. If it stays like this, then even whales can't get the girls. Ditto what @garadron said. I got ninja'd and bamboozled.

Original Ahsoka Narkisha was from a CE in September. Which means she should be available in the mythic pachinko, aka night club.

Thanks. Saved me the trouble. I accidentally unlocked the mega pass in CxH (15.6k kos), and it cost me an "Ahsoka" parody mythic I liked. Not in a good mood about this, nor am I enthusiastic about diving into the inner workings of these mega events, b/c it's easy to see from a first impression, that they aren't player friendly at all. I've been "dragging my feet." Trying to fix a thread that already has a different author, and separate posts as the first post, makes me think it's already "FUBAR." I could fix it, by splitting an older comment, but I think it's sufficient already, as everyone can see the main info in the first two dupe comments. Main thing is to read the blog post: https://blog.kinkoid.com/features/mega-events/ I wasn't aware of it before reading the thread, since it wasn't mentioned in-game or in the patch notes at all. That's really bad communication. I suppose we're meant to fix that. *Sigh* An update on my progress: HH: 1,330 Xtals, rank 428, Top 1.2%. 35,667 players. 604 Xtals for Top 5%. CxH: 426 Xtals, rank 902, Top 9.6%. 9,396 players. 510 Xtals for Top 5%. PSH: 370 Xtals, rank 2,577, Top 22.8%. 11,303 players. 568 Xtals for Top 5%. The formula for figuring out total # of players is: Current Rank / Top percentile = Total Players For example: rank 500 / 0.014 (for 1.4%) = ~35,714 players You only really get extra Xtals if you're in the top 1,000 players every 3 days. In HH.com, I'm in the 250-500 rank bracket that gets 24 CP and 240 Xtals, on top of the 800 Xtals for being among the top 5%. I expect to get ~1064 Xtals by the end of the day. That'll give me a 2,394 Xtal total. I'm only at this rank, b/c I bought 800 CP to recruit LG Kumiko last night. The more players in your server, the easier to reach a higher percentile, but not rank. The fewer players in the server, the easier to reach a higher rank, but not percentile. Feels like these are hindrances that the player doesn't really have control over. Even if I got 2.4k Xtals every 3 days (21.6k Xtals), it wouldn't be enough to reach the 27k Xtal goal of recruiting all of the girls. Of course, it's also impossible, b/c I'm not recruiting a mythic every 3 days (spending an extra 800 CP). Let's say you're regularly in the bottom 1,000 players for 16 CP & 160 Xtals, as well as in the top 5% every 3 days, that's 976 Xtals, nine times, for 8,784 extra Xtals. To reach the 27k Xtal goal, you'd need 18,216 Xtals from other sources. There's 54 daily CP, 48 Xtals from daily kisses, & 25 from daily goals (5 each). That's 127 Xtals daily for 30 days, for just a 3,810 Xtals total, not including tickets. 8,784 from the 3 day contests, and 3,810 from daily resources, adds up to 12,594 Xtals. There's still a 14.4k Xtal gap to 27k Xtals. Tickets won't bridge that gap. It just doesn't seem possible w/o whaling. That's the problem. Even if you're in the top 1,000 & top 5% every 3 days, you're not getting all of the girls. Also, the CP/Kisses from the 6k SE cards no longer exist, so there's no other help in reaching the goal. It's not like I ever recruited the 4th girl from an SE anyway, but I occasionally got the 3rd girl (when there was a 1k xtal gift). Now, it seems like the most you can get is 2 L5s (7.2k Xtals), and that's after spending 15.6k kos, like I accidentally did in CxH. As a F2P, (which I'm not really anymore, after becoming a mod), the highest reachable goal is 1-2 girls now, when it used to be 2-3 girls from an SE. 1 extra L5 isn't worth 15.6k kos. You can get 1-2 M6s for that. *sigh*

I just got Ahsoka, Asmai, Narkisha 🟢 to 20 shards w/ 1 SP. Accidentally spent 15.6k kos unlocking the CxH mega pass, so I didn't have enough kobans to get her. I'll get her from a revival if I'm still playing by then.
