laa (league addicts anonymous) How you doing in the "League"

[Pelinor]

My week in the D3 was exciting! This is what it looked like when I finished up (I fell to 3rd place by morning).

This League was a battle between the KH and CH classes as evidenced by the top 15 at the time I finished up.

KH = 8, CH = 6, HC = 1

Have fun everyone, c'ya on the flip side 😃

  Summary

Finished 14th, w/ a 6041 score, & 20.34 avg.  Used 8x 3 Gins & 0 AMEs.  Used a 1/2 refill, spending 96 kos (8 fights), for a 2790 kos net profit.  Player lvl increased twice from 465-467.  Girl cap is lvl 750.  21 defeats out of 297 fights, but a top 15 w/ just Gins.  I'm pleased w/ that.

Teams

Used balanced 149k-160k teams for defense.  On offense, used a 160k balanced team in the 1st half, and mostly a 150k physical team in the 2nd half.  I was 10k power weaker in the 2nd half, but waited until most enemies, except a handful, were caught un-boosted.  By the end, I did have a full lvl 750 team, albeit not fully blessed.

Boosters/Refills

I knew both weeks' blessings would be mediocre for me, and wanted to save Cords.  It worked out.  I used 3 gins all week.  No AMEs.  Plus, just a 1/2 refill, for 96 kos, and 8 fights near the end, to catch up on lost fight regen.

Rankings

I was ranked 5th to 14th throughout.  Finished 14th, but didn't see the actual final rankings.  I took a screenshot, and global snapshot in the final minute, but still dropped from 13th to 14th within that time...  I stayed in the top 15 by just 72 points.  I wouldn't have minded ending up in the top 30, b/c I didn't invest anything in boosters, and almost nothing in refills.  The top 3 all had scores above 7k, so I think it was the right choice.

Profits

Almost max profit for a top 15!  Got 2790 kos, for finishing in the top 15, w/o Cords, AMEs, and just a 1/2 refill (96 kos).

Future Outlook

I'll try to continue my stealthy top 15 victories, w/o spending cords, AMEs, and refills for another week.  I might start using some cords and refills again, during the next blessings, when Lavender is 69% double blessed.  I'm conflicted about it, b/c she needs valuable sensual gems.  It's the same reason I didn't upgrade Sheba 40%, this week.  Since, the next sensual M6 isn't showing up until December '22 or January '23, I might as well level Lavender up a bit.

Surprises of the week: 1/ what the hell are those low scores? ^^ I'm definitely not complaining, easiest top 4 of my life, but still I wonder what happened there.

I was certainly not expecting to be seriously playing around in the top 4 yet at my level, but there I was for a lot of the time.
And if I hadn't been stuck in a long meeting, unable to get in before the reset, I would probably have made 3rd place. I had 8 fights left that I didn't get to play, ended up at 7th.

🎉 i finally won my first league and i am speechless 😁

[Kenrae]

So, another one for me:

This time I used 1 AME (I was storing Season fights anyway). I guess I would have won without it but with a small advantage, but you never know.

[madahmed]

I finished 6th in D2 League

this is the first time i move to D3. after the first fights. I already feel that i will go back to D2 either purposly or not hhh.

[jelom]

Congrats to yyyxxxccc for his easy win, I just settled with a Top 4 place.

Sampson and XXDongXX completed the podium.

I was a bit surprised that Finderkeeper didn't push harder this week.

[DvDivXXX]

Finder is pretty consistently in "top 15 and chill" mode, as far as I'm aware.

New week and a new 1st ( 3x in row now.. if I make it this week too I think it´s a new record for me but since I´m with Gogeta Rip me )

going for a top 15 on nutaku this week since I´m short on time and let´s see what I can do against the og uber whale on the main

[Tom208]

Screenshot taken just before the end of the league.

Final rank: 1st

Boosters used : 18 legendaries (1 cordycep / 2 gingseng 6 times). 3 mythic boosters.

101 players -> 100 opponents -> 300 possible fights -> 300 fights performed -> 300 wins and 0 loss (actually, my league lost a player during the week but I already fought him before he vanished, so my real average should be 23.57 and not 23.81)

I guess Master HornDog didn't use mythic boosters for this league or at least not 3.

Have a good week and take care.

[bolitho76]

Expected winner with Mez. Good place to me with my mostly lvl700 team and a weak Lavender (only lvl550) since Monday. Normaly boosted with 3 Cordyceps, used one AM Booster.

[Liliat]

I was optimistic on the 5th day of the league, around 10th place with a 20.4 average, and mostly easy fights remaining. But... Hope didn't last. There are many opponents I wasn't able to catch unboosted, and it cost me a looot of points.

- Final score: 5899

- Average: 19.86

- Rank: 19th

- Cost: 23 Kobans for refill, 2x Ginseng + 1 Cordy all week

Top 10:

[Rarum]

For this league, I together with Shado decided on a no holds barred match. I knew Shado was a capable fighter so I figured it was going to be interesting. I had bad luck, I didn't have a relatively important sensual girl upgraded, and it wasn't my finest performance overall, but still enough.

I really didn't expect forvea to score that well. Good job. It's (un)fortunate that I was already going just about my best, though, or they might have even taken me by surprise.

And just for fun, Shado's comments for this league: "think the guy on 1st place cheated".

Blessings
1st week: +20% for Common, +40% for Capricorn
2nd week: +25% for Voyeur, +30% for Dark Pink hair

Defense teams used
In the beginning: 186176.03 total power. darkness2-psychic2-stone1-fire1-nature1 consisting of Hazel, Madame Ivanka, Undercover Valentina, Nike, Succubus Abraël, Felicia and Trixie. 21.605 is the maximum average one could get against it.
Starting from Friday: 190971.03 darkness2-psychic2-light1-fire1-nature1 consisting of Hazel, Madame Ivanka, Capricorn, Nike, Succubus Abraël, Felicia and Trixie. 21.456 is the maximum average one could get against it, or 18.228 if I was using 3 cordyceps at the time.

Shado on 1st week: Their defense team was darkness2-psychic2-light1-fire1-sun1 with 191226 total power.

2nd week: 171431.13 total power. darkness2-psychic2-water1-stone1-fire1 consisting of Lovebot Norou, Royal Housemaid, Matcha, Undercover Valentina, Darla, Nike and Norou. 22.15 is the maximum average one could get against it.

Shado on 2nd week: I only remembered to record a psychic team with 184806.96 total power

Statistics
# of opponents: 103
My score: 7386 (99.696% of the score with completely average luck)
Expected score: 7408.5

If I had been using the following booster combinations for the duration of the league but with the same fight timing decisions, these would have been my completely average luck scores:
AME+3cor         7410.3
AME+2cor,1gin    7379.6
AME+1cor,2gin    7338
AME+2gin,1chlo   7259.3
3 cordy          7219.6
2 cordy, 1 gin   7176

Perfect precognition score with average luck and AME+3cor throughout: 7472.28 (24.182 average). The AME+3cor expectation was 99.17% of this.

[Incubys]

Finished 6th (was always confident of top 15) however 1 did use 1xAME, and 3xCordy 3 times, rest of time 2xGin / 1xCordy in hopes of sneaking a top 4. Used 625 kobans in re-fills (AME "free" from CbC) so effectively lost kobans this week. Need to be more patient until I can level more girls to 750.

Blessings not good for next league so definitely not trying for top 4 ....

[holymolly]

I´ll just leave it as it is, the screenshot speaks for itself

 

nutaku was chill mode mostly all chorella and no optimization wanted to focus on the whalehunt

[jelom]

A disputed league, I could only finish 5th.

Next week blessings are the worst for me, I have the girls but I would need tens of thousands of gems, so not a good forecast.

[Pelinor]

Worse than I should have been but good enough for 3rd place this week (two losses + five .2% negative "victories"). Anyway, before I go all whinney on everyone here is what it looked like when I left for work.

This weeks blessings supposedly favored the Know-How class but not by any overwhelming degree. The top 15 for the week by class:

KH = 7, CH = 5, HC = 3

Have fun, c'ya on the flip side 😃

Rank: 8th
Score: 6229
Avg: 20.97
Boosters: 6x 3 Gins, 2x 3 Cords, & 0 AMEs.
Refills: 3.2 costing 604 kos (48 fights).
Profit: 2282 kos
Player Lvl: 467->468
Girl Lvl Cap: 750
Defeats: 8/297 fights
Offense: 152k physical & 168k balanced.
Defense: 149k to 168k balanced.
L5 Girl: Elphiba recruited.

This one was fun, even though I didn't rank very high.  I stayed under the radar, ~15 fights behind for the first half.  After blessings changed, I waited until I could spend gems on the 2nd day of the CbC, to get 69% blessed Lavender from lvl 450 to 650.  She's now lvl 685, and the rest of my team is lvl 750.  I fought high level un-boosted players in the first half, saving weaker players for the second half, where I planned to make a stronger team, equip 3x Cords, and use refills.  Fought the final 5 players while they were still boosted, b/c my 2nd set of 3x Cords was gonna expire, and I wanted to go back to using 3x Gins.  Dropped from 3rd to 8th in the final 6 hrs.  7th to 8th in the final 3 min.

I tried to take the "snapshots" in this graph at least 6 hours apart, for some uniformity.  It was funny seeing some players using a ton of refills, only to plateau early.  Reminds me of some mistakes I used to make.

Future Outlook

I managed to create a 172.9k team by the start of the current league week.  Extra GXP gained from the CbCs helped a lot.  I might try to finish this league before the blessings change, b/c my power would drop to 141k.  Probably smarter to be very frugal, and save as much as possible before the MDR, b/c I've been looking forward to getting High Mage Arcana for a long time.  At most, I'll use some refills in the first half, instead of after blessings change.

------------------
D3 run #107 2022/09/08-15
Boosters: 24/7 (6x2gin+1co 1x1gin2co 0x3co 0x3gin). 0 AMs. (all fights w/o)
100 players. 99 opponents. 297 fights. wins:  292. losses: 5.
Average: 22.32
Finished: top 15 (#5 exactly! ^^)
Girl Shards: Elphiba (Week 4)X already completed
Refills: 187kos 145kos 57kos  = 389kos
[[My Day One Analysis:
Contenders for top 4: Ezekiel, Maximo, ME, Barkior...
Maybe: JJdude (new challenger), whoever gets lucky past the gap
Plan: Maximo again, huh? ^^ Well, we'll see if I overestimated him last week or not. Phase 1 he's still King, but Phase 2 I'll RULE. I have a real shot at winning this in Phase 2, or definitely top 4, but with some AMs and extra cordys, probably. Still tempting. Let's play it safe and take only easy pickoffs in Phase 1. I'll decide to go for the win or not come Phase 2. ]]
[[Monday plan revision: yeah, no. Maximo is a really big whale, with the top team at level 750 in both Phases again! I bet he still won't win, but there's too much variance and competition. I'll grab a top 4 as "whoever gets lucky past the gap" if it comes my way, but not investing in this one.]]
Cost: 389kos (refills) + 0kos (AMs) + 0kos (Cords) = 389kos
Profit: 2886kos -389kos = 2497kos ❤️

In the end, I was away most of the day and had to rush my last 18 fights against boosted opponents before I left (hence the 5 losses). Having a great team in Phase 2 wasn't quite enough, although judging by my #5 final rank, I definitely could have grabbed a top 4 with more time and cordys. ^^ No regrets, though. More kobans this way.

If any other participant knows, I'd be curious to see the actual final rankings. No idea who won.

Good luck have fun this week, folks. Stay safe!

[Rarum]

Well, one more graph. I'm relatively sure my tracking for Shado was accurate throughout the league, so why not. I'm not as sure how to interpret forvea's average over time, but my thinking is that it was in the low-to-mid 23s for a while before starting to rise after the first third of the fights.

[Kenrae]

Chico BonBon appeared out of nowhere, that's a new one. More and more players are reaching top4 contender status.

No AME used. Low scores overall in this league, it was packed full of high level people with level 750 teams.

[Alex_i]

Back to D3 after reaching level 750 girls, player level 464.

Ranking based on levels was 84/101. Ended up 18th with 5967 points (mean 20.01). 70 points shy of 15th. League screenshot above - same league with bolitho76.
1x 3gin, 1x 3cordy (for pantheon wall), for rest 2gin + chlo 

Def teams 161k & 181k. Had one of the strongest teams (top 5) for the 2nd half.

A couple mistakes: forgot to equip boosters for one set 15 fights (~30 points) and missed 3 fights at the end when 15th was already lost (~40 points). So the top 15 was within reach, at least with better boosters. Didn't expect this - very pleased with the result. Going forward don't expect this good results.

Have some disadvantages:
- low level (36 levels which translates to stats and better equipment)
- small harem (-40% of passive bonuses + endurance penalty)
- non-maxed club (-5% charm, hardcore and harmony)

Below the same in more quantitative terms - comparison to a reference player (level 500, D2 farmer with 17 wins). This is a couple weeks old (was level 461) when I was in the same league with the guy.

Player level part: stats (as seen on the player profile) substracted and converted damage, defense etc.

Harem size part: reference player stats multiplied by the 40% penalty (when applicable). For crits max passive bonus multiplied by penalty. The endurance is just a rough estimation - Slynia's number from handbook minus mine. The harem endurance is also part of the stats shown on the player profile.

Just to give an idea of disadvantage the lower lever players have.

[MrXY]

Attempt #49 in D3

Info: <current league> [<last league stats>] [<personal best>]

Points: 6614 [?] [6979]

Average: 22.27 [?] [23.5]

Victories: 296/297 [?] [303/303]

I missed last week which was disappointing, because I spend some mythic boosters aiming for a Top place which could have worked. But I was busy with work (in a good manner) and I totally forgot to do my final fights.

This week was much better and I can accept my losses from last week with it. I took it easy and did my best with less time, standard legendary booster setup and without AME. A Top 4 result was better than expected, but I take it of course . I think there was not much room for a better result.

People is buying loads of AME lately.
