Contract girls - are they any good?

[Schmuddelhayne]

Another very basic question - but I didn't find anything conclusive.

I don't know... I got the feeling that no matter in which girl I invest.... it doesn't seem to do anything for me.

E.g. "Click +1.80K%".
I don't know the calculation behind... but it didn't feel like anything changed for me after upgrading that girl and looking at the click impact and it also didn't feel different.

For me it works. Also, you get them automatically and cannot do anything else with the kisses, so just level them, never hurts.

As I understand it, there is a difference between abilities like x10 click and +1.8K% click. The multiply abilities (like from harem girl affection tiers) stack, and if you have a lot of them can skyrocket you into some powerful advantages. The +% abilities on contract girls seem to be independent of those multipliers, so while +1000% sounds like a lot, it might just be that you're outpaced by the multipliers, so it's less useful for you.

I remember someone else on the forums saying the contract girls are useful for newer players who are catching up (who don't have as many of the harem girl abilities unlocked yet). That's a good thing to have in the game! Just depends on where you're at.
