In response to Hentai:

Keep in mind that you actually do not need anything above 3* to beat the game (though this was before 14-x was released, so who knows). A couple of 4* and 5*s, then the rest below that are all you need. Needless to say, everyone must be 100% affection, evolved and with mid grade equipments (though all of this are mid-late game things, so everything at it's appropriate time) Anything else is a privilege/luck. Event girls are the exception. As long as you are persistent enough, you'll get them as well.

If it's not too late for you, it's recommended that you get Lavender. Shes an A-B class 5* (B for the low speed). Maybe a bit too late since the event is going to end soon, but we won't know till we try, that's for sure. If not, then get Mirabilis.

Also, if you try Idol Wars and do the Dream Fest thing (this is only for the ongoing crossover, no more after it ends), you can get up to 2 5* tickets. So there's that as well.

As for the Flower Gems here's the deal: Logins, Events, Campaign, Special Missions, achieving 100% affection with any girl, and gathers (very rare, but possible). Flower Gems are premium ingame currency, so unless you're willing to pull out the credit card, that's all you'll get.

Always farm beginner stages when it comes to events. Even high level players do them occasionally when they're done farming ampys and/or crystals.

Most important bit: always check whether you're about to level up and have any gathers left. If so, use those gathers before running your next map, since with leveling up, you also get new gathers. The rewards from gathering are more beneficial than your personal leveling.

High level helpers appear for beginners to make sure those beginners don't have too many issues while getting acclimated to the way the game works (at least, I'd guess that's the reasoning). However, whether those high levels will accept invites (so they'll be on FL and appear consistently) is in question.

@Hentai: If you're looking for higher level farming early, there's a speed-leveling strategy.
Step 1) Check the two topics here associated with Friend's List and get some people here to pick you up
Step 2) Pour all your early manyus into your 4* starter (can be another girl, but the 4* will become obsolete a lot later than 2* or 3* girls)
Step 3) Rely on your Friends' Helper Squads to carry you to clear (note, not complete aka 3*, clear) maps you couldn't normally clear
Step 4) Ride the Helpers through 12-1/12-3 and farm those and their associated Advanced Secret Garden to get level 20 and 100 manyus a LOT earlier than you normally would be able to

If you're wondering about Step 2, it's because your helpers are scaled down to the highest level girl you have (probably need her in Squad 1 as well, not sure but why wouldn't you have your strongest girl in Squad 1 anyways? That's your helper squad!) so you need to powerlevel one girl so your FL helper squads aren't hindered in their effectiveness too much. Even evolved level 70 rainbows get scaled down to level 20 un-evolved in effective stats if that's where your best girl is. If you got an event 5* (or a gacha one, whatever) level her instead of the 4* starter

That's right what Ivan said

N1 Explanation btw.

...except you get a 5* at the Beginning for free... You should Powerlevel her instead of the 4* Starter

No, you get to pull a 5* after you almost done with the tutorial. It is before the chibi Nazuna appears IIRC.

i heard getting mint and giving her all the ampies and getting her to max and she can go toe to toe with most 6 stars i have seen a few times in chats.

it's true you can make every unit somewhat reliable but please consider 6* Girls have amazing Abilities and 2* Girls have no Abilities at all.

From a Gameplay Point of view it's wiser to give all your Ampies to your free 5* you will get at the beginning of the game cause she is even stronger as a maxed out Mint then.

If you consider Mint to be your Waifu though you can do whatever you want

Hey all
I'm level 60, reached campaign lv 14... I kinda like this game... but farming is taking SO MUCH TIME !
Is there any way/trick for farming faster?
I've spent hours yesterday farming the "Gold" mission, today hours farming the "Spirit" mission... at this stage it's purely farming, no skill involved just being stuborn... at lest in Aigis you can speed up the farming when a map has been 3 starred...
If there's any technique, please tell me before I hang myself .
