To give an example, I'm at level 230, and still using a level 152 Legendary bowl, because every Legendary I've gotten that could replace it had worse stats. I almost can't believe they're randomly generated, because the worse stats seem fairly consistent. Although I suppose maybe I just got some really choice gear before an update that lowered the stats on newer stuff. Speaking only for the time since I started playing in June of last year. In a nutshell, the devs were giving too much away. Great pachinko had a flaw that made it a printing press for money. It was extremely easy to max a girl's affection and levels. The artists were overworked. A lot of players sat around waiting for the new scroll with nothing to do because PvP was not interesting and it wasn't challenging to improve your harem's money collection, when the great pachinko gave you all the money you could eat. They addressed the money problem in August of last year by removing the exploit in great pachinko, and making books and affection items much more expensive. Cutting the money the players had access to, along with increasing the costs, greatly slowed down the progress most players could make, and gave the artists time to catch up with their workload. Then they started overhauling the PvP in February, and realized the Legendary gear was too strong, too cheap, and too easy to get for new and slightly less new players. So the stat range of Legendary gear was lowered, made more expensive, and harder to get in the market. However, the gear that had already been issued couldn't be re-worked, because gear has a range of values that are randomly determined, depending on it's rarity class when it's created for the market, mission and PvP rewards, and pachinkos. As a result, no 2 items are the same, unlike the costs and stats of the girls. Re-working all those stats for all that gear for all those players is impossible for the time the devs can work on the game without it stalling out, since the game moves forward by advancing the story and monthly events. If that progress stops, that's the worst outcome for this game. So the Legendary gear was watered down to make it less powerful if someone had gotten a new set during the first few months after the February patch. Only now, about 3 months and roughly 80ish levels later, are players on Discord reporting Legendary gear stats matching or exceeding the pre-patch Legendary gear stats. TL;DR no, not doing a TL;DR. Read the post. It took time to create. Time I could have spent doing something else. Have some respect for my time and read the post. Thanx! 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrttao Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I noticed that purple gear has a bonus to a stat that looks like a yin yang symbol but with male/female and is purple. What is that stat called and what does it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsfs Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) It's called Harmony, it's used to calculate the probability your special ability procs in combat. Base is 50%, if you have an equal amount of harmony to you opponent chances are 25% you vs. 25% him, if you have more than your opponent your chance to proc your special ability will rise accordingly (e.g. 30% you, 20%him).

What is that stat called and what does it do? Harmony increases your chance of using the harem members special ability that you have in your battle team. Hardcore ability gives you a chance to increase damage,know how gives you a chance of healing and Charm's ability doubles your defense against attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that stat called and what does it do? I assume you're refering to the Harmony stat? Cuz that's the latest stat that got added. It's basicly the new % chance for crit. But instead of crit, they're skills. The more harmony you have, the more % chance you have to trigger your special skill per your attack turn. (Or defense turn if you're charm). The % is calculated by adding the players and the enemies stat in a total. So it's not for example 1,000 harmony is 10%. Also note that the player that has the attribute benefit of the Dominance Scheme, they gain a 20% boost on harmony. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was indeed referring to harmony.... and now that you pointed it out, its stuck in my head that it is "crit chance" under a different name.

There is no guaranteed drop for them, or increasing rates over time. It's a solid % chance for the entire time ur fighting him. And you're simply not hitting the % on the head so the girl drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
