So having some shards before PoR won't help and you won't get partial shards from either event before Love Raid. You will have to get 100 shards from Love Raid to save from spending on PoR

my point exactly. If you have a single girl on PoR paid path it's 1200 nubans for a L3 girl. With the Raid I had to spend ~400 nubans for the girl that will be on a paid path in a couple of months so I basically saved 800 nubans on that

im interested if i must use the sandelwood for the skin

Must - no.

But if you want to need only 17 drops for the skin instead 33 you should use Sandalwood. On top: The shards you gain for the skin are part of the shard pool, so consuming "only" 17 shards for the skin is nicer than consuming 33.

I actually agree with you. But there is one big exception for me. If I see it correctly, there should be two 5-star Legendary Girls tomorrow, each with a skin. I will try to get at least 1 shard so that the girls will appear in the Love Labyrinth store.

This was my plan for this event as well

[swavolt]

to become the full 5% stats boost you need 5 own skins

Kira was consistently 0💖 Shards all the way

I've found the silliest way of checking what girl is going to be in a raid and I'm really surprised it was that easy. I feel like a hacker now 😎

Spoiler

if you open the black siluette of a girl in an upcoming raid you'll get to a URL like this:

https://hh.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/187713212/avb0-1200x.webp

if you open a normal siluette of a girl for a raid that's already underway you'll get an URL like this:

https://hh.hh-content.com/pictures/girls/609235242/ava0-1200x.webp?v=3

all you have to do is change a single letter - from b to a and you'll get a normal image:

They're already on their way to pick you up...

I looked at the next girl using your method and found out that she is GL5 from LD... Fighter Gemini

An easier way is to lookup the girl ID on zoo's girl spreadsheet. Go to the Data tab and search the ID on the URL with Find function. Girl ID column is hidden but the search works anyway.

Definitely the lack of books and gifts is currently one of the the biggest balancing problems in game. I always address this issue in feature surveys but devs are deaf to my pleas. I also asked this question for Q&A with Rosso once, but they skipped it completely...

Yeah, getting Ume, and I was saving the red books from the daily goals for quite some time, showed me how fast I can get from, barely enough to get the 5 stars done and not have to many 3 stars leftovers to, my good the affection items are empty.

The books are way worse, and I don't see too many of them in the special offers, so I can't even bargain myself out of my problems. I don't buy all that much, since I avoid microtransaction on principale, but I get free gold on nutaku from daily login and pushing 20 bucks into the game in 6 month doesn't kill me, but that wouldn't really help me in this case.

This skin stuff is in my opinion only really worth it for mythic girls, even 5 stars it's debatable.

Thankfully I have most of the girls they showed in these love raids, and maybe I can grab a few shards for the 5 stars I don't have when they show up, so they will show up in the laby shop afterwards.

I have a new plan...

 

[jpanda]

Curious if anyone has seen a 0/100 drop for Love Raids (that is you have no shards in the girl and can get her to 100 in 1 drop).

I'm trying to remember if that exists at all for shard pool events and I think it doesn't...but maybe I just have been unlucky.

the x100 drop is active for:

- permanent Villain Girls

- CE

- LD

- OD

- Club-Champ Girls

After MD(R)s are explicit not included to the x100 drops, I don't expect that the Love Raids have this feature. Even they are not only Villain related. Season and Champ Raids are possible too.

The main thing is not to miss your only chance...

Or just search in Harem++ and you will find the girl

[Tom208]

Or just click on the harem button 😅

[garadron]

I feel like this feature can be nice for veterans who are just finishing up their collections. I was able to very easly get the missing shards for Amano. I had her at 60 and it took ~150 kisses to get the missing 40 shards. I wasn't counting so I'm probably a bit off.

The next missing girl for me is Alt Blanche though and unless she's also on Seasons I'll probably just ignore and wait for her revival in KCR.

But for newer players who are missing 1000+ girls it feels like a distraction and a trap

Cool stuff! How come the next two raids are shown as 100/100 for you? For me they are ?/100 even tho I have the girls. What do I have to do, so that the script detects it and properly marks it in the UI? I clicked on the harem button, so that the info is loaded, but this didnt help.

Actually, to update the script data with the girls you already have, it's not in the harem. You have to go on the waifu page or the team edit page.

You need to go in the harem only for the girls you partially have (set the filter with 1-99 shards and scroll down until no more girls are loaded).

You always come through to save my sanity. I notice the changes on the villain drop down and the champion page too. Thank you

[Master-17]

Tried to participate in a raid in Seasons. There were still about a thousand shards even 15 minutes before the new addition, but not a single one dropped in the first 17 battles. The result was 1 shard out of 20 battles. To hell with such raids!

[LukeWarmbath]

The x1 shard drop for clearing a champion stage is terrible... It should be bumped up to x10 honestly.

custom code can see all but the troll and champion number. as you can see if the show early is set to none the troll/champion number is blank All the rest can be detected

[bolitho76]

With the skin at Amelia I wanted to try to get the skin (or at most: as much as possible shards for the Skin).

I decided, that I could invest Kobans and would do one full stage at Visor. With a not optimated team I needed more than 100 tickets to do one stage and got this:

So until the dropchanges and ranges for Champs aren't reworked: I wont touch that raids anymore!

[jelom]

Again for science (because I am strongly against raids and skins)

Karole,  Fighter Gemini (skin), 340 battles, 16 drops (4,71%), 33 shards (5 stars girl, drop range 1-3).

Note the low drop rate. Could it be that raids drop rate in villains is the same as for their permanent world girls and not the one for legendary or classic days? More info in next days when i have a girl in late villains.

Apart of this initial tests I am doing, my position for raids and skins is tentatively this:

- Champion raids: you need hundreds of champion fights to get a girl, so it is not viable doing that. Only get the first shard for 5 star girls from seasonal events, doable with 10 tickets, and ignore the rest of girls that you can get in revivals.

- Season raids: still haven't my own data, but it seems the drop rate is also lower than 10% per battle, so the same as above aplies, only try for first shard for seasonal girls and then slowly increase in labyrinth.

- Villain raids: If I don' have any other event in which i have to spend or save my combativity, then I will go for the raid girl (or skin) available whether if it is 3 of 5 stars, but as a general rule, I will only try for sure to get shards for 5 star girls from seasonal event. For the skins, I won't go for 3 stars skins, and for 5 stars girls I will ponder in every case. If they add too many skins (recoloring and retouching a few effects can be done in a few minutes, so it has almost no cost for them) I will have to think in not getting them. The cost of trying to get all skins is not sustainable even for veterans that have most of the girls.

My opinion about raids is worse as time passes, and the skins are not helping.

She'll be a villain raid. Zoo made a spreadsheet for raids, you can find type of upcoming raids there:

IMO raids should be locked, and maybe even invisible for newer players. One of the main selling points of HH when I started playing was that among all the Pay2Play games on Nutaku in this one you could actually reach something as F2P player. But in the last years devs added so many crazy expensive features that game started resembling those which only try to swindle money out of you, and raids are another one of those features. If I started playing today and saw how much resources I had to buy with money to get girls in raids, I would quit the game instantly.

I think lvl 400-500 would be a good moment when raids could start appearing. Newer players should focus on other events, they won't have resources for raids anyway.

KK announced a dropchance of ca. 6% for Raids. That is higher than the later World Bosses, but lower than the normal Events, yes.

I had to use 203 combativity and one Sandalwood to gain the Gemini-Skin (11 drops). So a mostly average result for a 5* Villain raid.
