Path of Attraction

Fashion Show
Darling,

Four fashion icons are here to put on a lingerie show just for you!

Starting today and ending on the 31st of August (1 pm UTC+2), you’ll have the chance to complete all tasks and recruit Fashion Eleganza and Fashion Lola. If you want to get Fashion Azana and Fashion Cori, you’ll have to put in some extra effort.

I feel so hot under the spotlight, hero!

Tier 21~25 aren't great. I'll probably aim for Tier 23 for the extra combativity, and not bother with Tiers 24/25 (200 Villains fights for 6 EP? Nah, no thanks :) ).

For players who already buy the paid path, it's probably different. 200 Villains for 2160 Kobans (or less) for a Draft orb can be a very interesting deal (at least until you clear your EP Pool).

Beating 100 Champions will be painful, but doable.

I was saving 7200 Kobans for a potential Anniversary PoA (Like https://harem-battle.club/wiki/Harem-Heroes/HH:Path-of-Attraction-16:-Petplay ). Guess I won't have to spend them 😛 Maybe I'll buy a PoV or 2 instead, then.

Yop. For me the extra rewards are fairly good overall, but the big one is definitely the Draft Orb. The extra tasks aren't exactly fast, easy or cheap, but at least the extra rewards are set up to help you along the way, much like the rest of the PoA structure already does. On top of that, since this is all just added at the end and the first 20 tasks remain unchanged, this is pure bonus.

Definitely good design. So extremely different from the recent Seasonal Event format. I'm pretty glad.

The 200 villains fight at tier 24 basically tells us that KK doesn't want us to save combativity for MD. The draft orb is nice if we are just going for CE afterward but it is no help for MD. And the contest points at tier 25 means that we should finish PoA one less day due to randomness of the contest type. So one less day of natural regen combativity we can use toward tier 24. Having extra rewards from tiers 21-23 is definitely nice. I need to re-plan how I do PoA if tier 25 is the goal. I am not sure that it worth the trouble.

New tasks good, especially for spending Ymen, now can upgrade girls faster without worry.

Girls clothes with insect theme looks beautiful. Theme name slightly vague, similar to previous Night Out and Kinky Carnival, if not see girls scenes.

Eleganza my favorite KC girl and I'm glad to get her more beautiful variant. Her 3-star pose good.

Lola always big and good.

Azana looks like her 5-star variant wich is impressive.

Cori has funny faces in all her poses. Girl really in the mood for it.

Well, for me it actually has the opposite effect: it requires too much effort for crap rewards, so the path ends at Tier 23. Which is +20 Combativity to save for MD. Love it :)

Obviously, this will range from great to whatever depending on each individual player's specific approach to PoA and the end of the month to next month transition. But even if a particular disliked all 5 additions, since they're added at the end of the track after the girls, they could just as well ignore them completely and keep their previous plans intact. No harm done. More choice good.

Don't forget OD and CE! To get one girl here with a secure drop is (at least CE) allways relevant.

Yeah, I would actually say the exact opposite of Liliat, here: sure-fire EP orbs like EPx10s and Drafts only become better and more valuable once you've cleared the EP pool.

Since we've got an extended path, I figured I'd share my plan for this event, as a completely free player - no cash spending on anything - bundles, cards, etc.

Tier 21 is easy if you have the Ymen, which you might depending on how item sales & Champions go.  Tier 22 is similar if you have the tickets, the Champions opened, and the time. Tier 23 is just spending energy, and I will always spend energy to gain combatitvity. Once one reaches tier 24 to get through those villains, unless you've been saving all the combativity up until this point, unless you buy the paid path, which will help a lot. Tier 25 is contest based, so you hope it's a good one or ones. The Tier 24 reward of kisses isn't so good, and the free path reward on tier 25 is okay, but the draft orb on the paid path at 25 is nice, as it's a free girl.

I feel as though tier 23 is as far I can likely get before it ends, and that's giving a solid reward of combativity.

The Tier 24 reward of kisses isn't so good

I usually rely on natural regen on kisses to finish PoA and save the reward kisses for following KC. If I can get to tier 24 reward, I don't have a problem spending the earlier kiss rewards to shorten the PvP tasks and I will still have enough for KC. This in turn will give me more regen on combativity that I need to complete tier 24. I'll still need to spend more saved combativity to finish but I may have some left for MD.

I'm just glad Fashion Lola is on the free side.  She's the only one I want.  Future waifu on the homepage.  When Matsumoto Rangiku (Bleach) finally gets a mythic variant, I'm pursuing her, regardless of her element.  The insect theme creeps me out, but the girls themselves remind me of a Victoria's Secret fashion show, if those models actually ate food.

Tier 21 is simple and easy, just trade 92.8 mil money for 25 tickets.  I'd probably do that every time.

Tier 22's 100 champion fights, for 60 energy, just for a chance at tier 23's 20 CP, is gonna be painfully boring.  That's 3 hours 34 min, of doing 7 champion champion fights every 15 min.  That's a similar length as The Lord of the Rings FotR Extended Edition (214 min ~ 228 min).  I don't even do that for the CbC, which has much better rewards.  Also, I'm not gonna skip it w/ 600 kos, for 60 energy (129.6 kos), & 20 CP (216 kos).

At most, I'd aim for the tier 23 reward of 20 CP, but if it ends up costing me kobans for the 360 energy, it's not worth it.  I haven't bought energy in so long I forgot what it costs, but I assume 216 kos per 100 energy.  Since 60 energy is a "free" reward, from tier 22, I'd need to buy at most 300 energy.  That's 648 kos for 300 energy, when 20 CP is worth 216 kos.  Cheaper to just buy 20 CP at that point.  There's 6 days in this PoA.  I'm not sure how much time I'll have left, so I'll see if tier 23 becomes a good deal, w/ energy regen, at the end.

As a F2P player, that always ignores the premium path of the PoA, I agree w/ @Liliat that tier 24 is ridiculous.  Minus tier 23's 20 CP, it's 180 CP (1,944 kos), for 20 kisses, and 6 EPx1s.  No thanks.  I need those kobans for the Sept 3rd MD.

Kisses are twice as expensive as fists. So spending 200 Combativity for 20 or 50 kisses isn't worth it, unless you can get at least 150 Combativity for free (Then it barely evens out). That's a bit more than 2.5 days of natural regen.

These kisses are only worth something on the way to the valuable Draft Orb, if you're going there anyway. But reaching Tier 25 on the free path or Tier 24 on the Paid path isn't worth it. You'll simply end up spending more than you'll win. Might as well buy these resources with Kobans if/when you really need them.

That has more to do with what you prioritize and how you plan your plays and resource management to reach your goals than being F2P or not, though. Except for big real-money spenders who can afford to "choose everything" (arguably with the trade-off, besides money, being the fun and challenge of planning and choosing, since they don't have to), this game requires a lot of choices and trade-offs. In your case, it's MD über alles, and you don't mind skipping PoA, PoVs and other events.

As someone who always buys the PoA koban path, doesn't mind skipping MD regularly, and also likes to go through most of the PoA reward track as fast as possible, often throwing quite a bit of extra kobans at some of the longer tasks for that express purpose... My perspective is very different. Of course, I have a certain koban advantage over you even though I'm technically F2P these days. But I'm still nowhere near being able to afford everything every month. And for me, PoA and PoVs are top priorities, over MD.

And then of course, beyond that, other circumstances can change things one way or the other. In this case, KC lining up with the start of PoA and my current league situation being such that I decided to invest in Phase 1 massively anyway, I pushed much harder and faster than usual. I'm currently on Tier 24 already, and most of that task will take care of itself through my free regen over the next few days. I'll need to be extra careful to ensure I can complete Tier 25 easily enough at the end, although there will be CbC as backup on Monday or Tuesday if the daily contests happen to be a type where 50k points is hard to reach. And I won't be able to store the max amount of CPs and Kisses for next month, but still a decent amount of both. And I'll have a Draft Orb saved up as a future panic button for later, which is invaluable in my book.

------
Small nitpick more than a real issue, as in orb form they're almost equivalent, but I would have slightly preferred an EPx10 orb over a Draft one. Besides the fact that, when that's relevant, the EPx10 effectively gives more re-roll options, and also a bit of extra rewards on top of the girl, Draft orbs are infamously buggy, so I strongly recommend taking screenshots before, during and after using one. Not that I wouldn't also do that when using an EPx10 just in case, but they're less likely to require a support ticket to use. ^^

You misunderstood me. My goal is to complete tier 25 without losing too many saved combativity. Having extra 50 kisses at completion of tier 24 means I will have more than enough for the following KC. So, I can use earlier kiss rewards to shorten some of the earlier PvP tasks (not all, timing dependent). Doing so will give me more regen CP that I can apply to complete tier 24 and reduce number of saved CP needed to do this tier. This will allow me to carry over more CP than anticipated to next MD or CE.

You value MD above all else so you won't get draft orb on the free path anyway. For those of us who always open the bonus path. This change actually increases the value of bonus path a lot if we can figure out how to manage the resource spending efficiently. The above tactic may help me reducing the impact to MD due to loss in saved CP; therefore, saving kobans.

Btw, I'm not playing only for MD. Most of my saved combativity goes to Classic Event nowadays :)

But PoA is certainly the lowest on my list of priorities. Currently, MD, CE, OD, LD, PoG and even PoV are higher (Even PoV is still pretty low. It's sad.)

Only KC is even lower (Which might explain why the value of kisses is even lower in my eyes :D )

when i was a casaul player, i used to play all the events without thinking about anything else  i wasnt even looking at leagues or champions)

But now when i discovered that this game is not only the story and combatting vilains, i changed my plans.

my short term plan is to get as many as possible full xp fully upgraded strong girls so i can be strong enough in leagues and in other things.

and after that i will be back to collect girls as usual every month.

New bonus rewards for those who want to invest an extra effort, with the second girl(s) perfectly achievable like it already was. Nice. 

That said, I completely agree with @Liliat: some of the new tasks requires a little too much extra effort in comparison to what they give as a reward in the free path for me to be interested in spending kobans/use the resources I usually save for the new month. The paid path bonus reward (and to be more specific, the final orb) are another story. In the occasions I'll unlock the paid path, I'd go with no doubts for those extra rewards, too

I just planned out my schedule for this PoA. I can finish both paths on day 6 by losing 83 saved CP and 8 saved kisses that I normally carried over. Considering that the rewards include a draft orb and 6 Ep orbs, that worth the CP loss to me. I don't need the 8 kisses to finish KC anyway. The orbs will ensure me getting the basket of gems from CE. For future PoA that doesn't end on a CbC, I will need a insurance day to finish on day 5 in case of bad contest. For such PoA, I will lose 131 saved CP instead. That is still not bad for the orbs. We can definitely get a lot out of the extra tiers if we put in the effort.

We share a similar priority except PoV, which comes for me right after MD. So I'm curious why? Seems like XP is not that important for you?

If I'm done with MD Revivals, maybe I can afford it to go back to PoA at least every second month. I will see how far I come this month and think about an exception, because I like the draft orb. But I think I will not be in the near to finish everything.

I agree that going beyond Tier 20 only seems worth it if you unlock the paid path (mostly because of the tedium of doing 100 champions fights, in my view). If, however, they switched out the 6 EPx1 orbs on Tier 25 free path for an Event Pachinko orb, then I'd be intrigued. Event Pachinko is the only realistic opportunity players with large EP pools have of getting Pachinko exclusive event girls, and I believe the koban "value" of one orb is about equal to 6 EPx1s (I don't remember exactly how much one EPx1 spin costs in kobans). They also showed with GA that they're willing to put Event Pachinko orbs as mid-to-high tier rewards. We already get quite a lot of EPx1s as rewards in other places. Come on KK, let's spice things up a bit! 😊

I also agree with Div's point that the value of an EP Draft orb (or EPx10) increases as your EP pool gets smaller. For me, with a huge EP pool, it's not really that much more valuable than a bunch of EPx1s. Yes it guarantees a girl, but there's no way to ensure that it's a girl I want (or to target a specific girl). I think theoretically there's supposed to be a slightly higher chance of getting an event girl from EP during events, but out of the 15 or so girls I've gotten from EP during events none have been event girls, so the odds can't be that much higher for someone with a large EP pool.

PoV was pretty high, but now that we have to make drastic choices for priorities, it's gone down quite a bit. With my current pace, I'll reach level 500 in 8 Months. Skipping PoV is, in the worst case, 1 to 1.5 months of delay toward lvl 500 (Maybe I could get there in 6.5 months instead of 8). If I skip rare girls like LC or LD, I may not see them again for years.

So, seems like the worst bottleneck for me at this point is girls, not XP. Which is why I skip (most) PoV. I still get it from time to time, when I have kobans to spare. I've paid it 7/19 times so far.

I first started to skip it to focus on MDR (With Alexa's surprise revival in January, followed by many more). Now I have to skip it to get PoG instead (It's a bit more expensive, but approximately equivalent in terms of XP, and I only lack 2 more girls). And now we know for sure that LD girls are ultra-exclusive, so I increased their priority.

CE just happens to line up nicely with MD, so it's super cheap (And I have to start working on numbers; I still don't have 800+ girls required for passive). OD doesn't overlap with anything, but same reason: I need more girls, and they're cheap.

So, that leaves PoV. Great value for its cost, but nothing stands out. Everything you get from PoV, you can get it elsewhere. Except for the girl, of course, but I can't get them all anyway, so I'll focus on either the cheaper ones (CE, OD) or the more important ones (LD, PoG, MD).

How much I could like this event?

Entomophobia is a specific phobia characterized by an excessive or unrealistic fear of one or more classes of insect, and classified as a phobia by the DSM-5.More specific cases included katsaridaphobia (fear of cockroaches), melissophobia (fear of bees), myrmecophobia (fear of ants), and lepidopterophobia (fear of moths and butterflies).

Entomophobia may develop after the person has had a traumatic experience with the insect(s) in question. It may develop early or later in life and is quite common among animal phobias. Typically one has a fear of one specific type of insect, but in some cases this may encompass most, if not all other insects, and possibly other animals of the phylum Arthropoda. Entomophobia leads to behavioral changes: the person with entomophobia will avoid situations where they may encounter the specific type of insect. Cognitive behavioral therapy is considered an effective treatment.

Agree that the new rewards are not worth the cost if you don't buy the paid path. I am a F2P player and have not invested a single cent in the game at the moment. However, the kobans received for the top-15 D3-league are enough for me to buy paid paths in PoV and PoA, and there are still some left. However, even from the paid path, the only worthy reward is the Draft Orb. And the only difficulty for me is the penultimate tier. I still didn’t have enough saved combativity for a full-fledged fast passage, but anyway, I have enough of them to pass this tier today and proceed to the last tier. So I don’t see anything impossible in passing the entire PoA. Unless, of course, you don't spend seasonal combativity on MD, etc.

And yet - no one noticed that Azana's "wings" are not attached behind her back, because they do not move with her body? Is this a bug or a feature?

A bug!!!  HA!  I see what you did there!

Those are wings?  I thought they were giant roach legs...  Seriously, what were they thinking?  Only Shino would enjoy this theme.

Maybe someone watched One Punch Man ep 2, w/ Mosquito Girl, and got some inspiration.

FYI: This is my estimate for when these PoA #29 girls will return in CbCs, about 2 yrs and 4 months from now.  By then, they'll still be useless.  🤣

To be honest, I don't know. I haven't picked her up yet, so I haven't read the girl's story, and I don't know what it says about her costume. However, it doesn't look like legs and so on. It looks more like some kind of bone part of the wings, like some demons have, devoid of membranes.
