How? 🤔

I have yet to give bulbs for GS5. I haven't needed GS5 for PvP and being stuck on a Pantheon wall doesn't bother me (I can usually get by those with legendary boosters and good blessings). Also, I'm only in Normal Laby (I'm level 492).

Can you tell us a little more about your team and your strategy? Since a lot of people here are probably playing on Hard, and I skipped the normal difficulty, I have no idea how hard it is without GS5.

[Anon_sama]

Right now, I'll do it from memory since I finished today. If there are differences/more details, I'll post again tomorrow once I can look everything.

I have one Sexomancer in the back with the highest Ego to decrease the likelihood of default skill + corkscrewers taking her out before Fluffers can heal her. Then the rest of the team is fluffers based on highest damage. I have one girl in the front row with 100% dodge.

I don't coordinate elements, skills, etc. when team building. My autofill rules are set up to have the 100% dodge girl in front, whatever my highest ego sexomancer is in back, and fluffer in between. Unfortunately, since autofill will put a second girl in front, I usually use my preset. I check if I can rerun my first three floors to try to build another 100% dodge, but I almost never get layouts with that match my sweep combativity (without sacrificing Laby Coin pouches).

The only time I've been had tired girls (since settling in) was the one time I hit the supergirl bug during DP, so her default skill would nuke whoever was targeted.

If you'd like numbers for Floor 4 (heh), I'll take screenshots when I next go through it.

without sacrificing Laby Coin pouches

Those pouches are not worthy comparing to yellow and red platforms. Without monthly card, each pouches gives 84 coins at most. With diamond card, 101 coins. For the sake of argument, let assume you have diamond card to get the most value from the pouch, each pouch only gives 0.14 shards of a L5 at most (14,400 coins for 20 shards).

101 / 14,400 * 20 shards = 0.14 shards/pouch

If we convert this to kobans using LD drop rate, the pouch worth 9.45 kobans at most.
 

A CP costs 10.8 kobans

50 drops / 8% drop/CP * 10.8 kobans/CP * 0.14 shards/pouch = 9.45 kobans/pouch

At your level, a yellow platform gives 2 kisses. A kiss costs 21.6 kobans so yellow platform worth 43.2 kobans. A red platform gives 2 kisses and 2 CP so the platform worth 64.8 kobans. As you can see in the best case scenario, the yellow and red platform rewards significantly outweigh the coin pouch. The difference become even greater as you level up. Over lvl 750, we get 4 kisses and 4 CP so the platforms worth 86.4 kobans and 129.6 kobans.

I don't see any benefit to not do hard Laby unless you concern about ranking. First 3 floors are just normal Laby. If you can beat normal, you can beat first three floors in hard. So any wins afterward are bonus to you.

[Anon_sama]

Hard to argue with that math. It's going to be a pain to redo my sweeps 😩

Also, I'm only in Normal Laby because I haven't hit Level 500 to unlock Hard Laby. Ranking means lilttle to me.

[HornyCat]

@Ich42: Actually, I wasn't really asking anything, but instead was just posting a comment, and that was only about how the so called "randomness" in this game (with its putting 2 to 3 Yellows AND 2 to 3 Blues into that last Boss team on a rather "regular" basis, for about a 4 mth span) had been making the 5th lvl Boss unbeatable for me, for 1 or 2 times per week, during the "normal" 2 day span for the Labyrinth, rather than this 1 day span going on during the anniversary here. Especially when the Yellow's "hit" almost 100% of the times (and on their 1st Attack), with each of them taking out 2 on my team. Each time any member of my team was "affected" with the Yellow hit, that meant not only did they not get to attack for 2 rounds, but they also did not get any Mana for those turns.    DOH!

And like I posted, that "problem" for me has for the most part gone away, to where it has been awhile now, since I have had any problems in easily completing the Hard mode every time.     LOL

But, Thank You anyways, for the offered advice.    😀

Yes, I agree with you about the level/progress. But only if you're willing to spend real money. If you don't want to spend real money, though, you won't get any cards. And, in my opinion, no spending real money is enough to keep from falling too far behind. If you play constantly .

It would be great if you could share your experiences here about your no GS5 Harem. In both the normal and hard runs. I have a question about the other PvP modes, like Season and League. Are you doing well there? Because you'd need at least one girl with GS5 there. 

I might add your idea to the general description of Love Labyrinth as an alternative team-building idea.

Oh, okay, but I might include that key point in the general description of the Love Labyrinth as well. Because, in my opinion, two GS5 girls are still manageable, but four or more could lead to problems. 

 

And if you need help or advice, just let us know.

I don't know what spending real money has to do with the pouches. I use the monthly card as an extreme example to how much benefit the pouches can get you (very little) comparing to platforms.

I have stopped managing GS5 girls since gotten good sweeps. I had 4 GS5 girls on opponent teams many times before and still finished with 0 tired girls. Keeping GS5 out of top 7 is not as relevant as it used to be.

Sure. I only relatively recently (maybe a few months ago? I think I posted about it in Chit Chat or Pantheon Walls) unlocked GS3 and GS4 because I was being way too strict about only doing things where I get benefits twice (e.g. only upgrading affection when there is a contest or task). Eventually, I realized that PvP, Pantheon, and basically everything else was getting too hard. That's when I started nuking CbC Day 2 😈. I still nuke it every now and then since PD is letting me passively level my whole harem to the point that almost all my girls are at one level cap or another.

As such, I played basically every aspect of the game with what I realize is a completely underpowered harem. 

Laby Retrospective - Laby was always my favorite part of the game once I unlocked it since it was skill testing without me feeling behind veterans with my relatively small harem. With my (in hindsight) constrained harem, it was fun tailoring my team on the fly as I got new relics. I also did not have Laby++ (or any scripts), so I had to learn for myself which relics were worth anything. [Insert anecdotes about interim period like reading the Laby chat (OH! Writing this placeholder triggered a memory: I remember someone saying they tried to avoid coin pouches, then someone else calculated how many coins they were losing out on over the course of a year, successfully convincing the first person to start collecting coin pouches. That's why, until now, I've been going after coin pouches. Damn, that's another assumption I've had to revisit. Ugh, introspection in my porn game?!] Then sweeps were introduced. Laby started becoming a chore once I saved 100% duck. I'd still look to see if I could match or improve my swept resources, but those were super rare, and they would never result in relics worth saving.

There are probably tons of experiences to write about in that placeholder. Let me know what more you'd like to know.

PvP Retrospective TL;DWr - Season is pretty easy except if I try to compete in a Love Raid at the beginning of the month like this month. League is fine as long as I stay in D2. Of note, I do little to no team building other than making elemental teams. PD is easy based on my setup: Sexomancer+Fluffer in back row; Pleasurelock, Masochist, and/or high-level girl in front row; and literally any girls in the middle. Sexomancer is the only one that I have to be careful with putting a low level girl in. When I do, I put her in Team 4 or 5.

I'm obviously leaving a ton out in the TL;DWr, so let me know what more you'd like to know.

 

I'll edit this comment periodically as I get time/motivation. I'll Like any post people ask once I've updated the comment (assuming I don't reply directly). As I'm writing this, maybe this should be a separate thread. I'll leave it to the mods to decide (but my guess is that will be determined by the number of people asking questions).

Happy to provide some inspiration! Though it would be best to note that burns probably nuke this setup, if I understand the skill correctly (since I have never had to care about GS5 😅).

Yes, everyone has a slightly different playstyle, based on their team, sweep, and experience with it.

If someone posts their playthroughs here and is having trouble defeating the boss, I assume that person needs help. That's why I included the links and the brief summary. And the first thing someone can do, other than restructuring their team, getting new girls, or leveling up other girls, is simply to reduce the number of GS5s in their Top 7.

But I didn't see that coming, that this person would actually want to share it.

Yeah, but only if you have at least one GS5 in your harem and it also ranks in the top 7 and the opponent's girl is on your GS5 position, and she's a red one. There aren't many ways to get it, but unfortunately, it is  possible.

It was very similar for me. I reactivated this account because I was stuck on the Love Labyrinth and couldn't figure it out. That's how I fell down this rabbit hole.

That's your team, after all, what would you recommend they do to improve? Two Sexomancers? Or would that lead to too less healing from the Fluffers? A second 100% dodge? A third 100% against Corkscrew, or one of the two 100% dodge units with the lowest ego?

 

 

Important Note:

Basically, you just have to make sure your team heals more than the opposing team can deal damage. And that your team deals more damage than the opposing team can heal. And do it in a way that ensures you don't lose any girls in the process.

That is not what I recommend at all. I'm f2p. I said that the pouches worth the most with diamond card (20% bonus). Even with such bonus, it still worth far less than the yellow and red platforms. The yellow and red platforms have better value than the pouches in any scenarios.

Sometimes we just want to vent about RNG. Telling active members to read FAQ can be taken the wrong way.

Getting 100% dodge on the high defense/ego sexomancer is the simplest way to improve this setup since she could then ignore enemy corkscrewers. Then you could put whatever else you want everywhere else. I've also been strategically running fewer girls to improve the odds of getting duck and buff relics for the girls I do run. Currently my sexomancer (Konoko) has 72% duck and tons of buffs (if the two weekly blessings that affect stats also improve Laby stats, then having a sexomancer with two hair and eye colors like Konoko is ideal). Once I get her to 100% duck, I'll choose another girl to try to improve. 

Also, I'll be honest, I almost always skip the battles nowadays, so I have no idea if having 5 fluffers is necessary. Maybe converting one to a corkscrewer to tie up enemy fluffers and/or pick off weak girls or to a dominator to have an above-average attacker would improve things, but I haven't ended any battles or runs with a girl at less than 100% ego in months. I'll start watching some battles to get a feel for how useful they are. 

Updates:

I've gotten 100% dodge on Konoko on floor 1. This should let me experiment more.

I've started watching performances. I've been running early floors with just 4 girls lately to maximize good relics for specific girls. At this point, I can confidently say that 4 girls (one sexomancer and three fluffers) is the bare minimum without relics. Also, corkscrewers very much mess with this setup since fluffers only heal to 100% by rounding, not to actual 100%. I've never had an issue before because I had so many fluffers. I'd say four fluffers would negate corkscrewers. Once I save this Laby run, I'll try one sexomancer, one corkscrewer, and three fluffers.

I never thought about it before as I was always short on Lab money but if you have enough coins you can complete the new girl in 2 resets

girl shows up, buy 20
reset 1, girl in both slots, buy 40 (60 total)
reset 2, girl in both slots, buy 40 (100 total)

[aeshka]

One of the tricks I use is that I have several girls at lvl 700, with equipment, and most importantly on GS level 4, which boosts their stats to be in top 7, but don't give them GS5,

I do something very similar, but my level is 701, so those girls aren't factored into the gems calculations. And not everyone reaches level 701, it takes a particularly good combination of roles and elements to stay at lvl 650.

The blue (shield) and red (attack) ones are especially important to me. But I also left some of the white (healing) at level 650. For the roles, I went with Fluffer and Spermcaster.

And I only give girls GS2 because I think I read that GS3 and GS4 don't help with the labyrinth.

But only if you already have all the 5-star girls. Otherwise, you'll get a random 5-star one. And the reset is after 12h from the first visit. So you can have 80 pieces in one day. In addition.

Blance also has the smallest ego on my site.

Well, as of today, I have 100% dodge on Blance saved on the first floor. She has decently high Ego as she is both blessed and is one of my few level 700 girls. Now that I have 100% dodge, everything else basically doesn't matter unless there are several corkscrewers. I tried running three girl teams to try to get my sexomancer 100% dodge, but neither the second nor third floors cooperated (I still improved the resources of those sweeps at the cost of two 54% sweep relics on floor 3). Once I finish the first three floors, I just fill out the rest of my middle and back rows with fluffers and have zero issues.
