Life Crystals aren't as rare as they used to be, because you can farm them from ?-4 and ?-8 of most events these days (not, NOT the revivals, the new ones)

This is a general Q&A thread right? Few questions, I'm sure they're common questions.

1. So I just started playing this game yesterday and I've kinda reached a standstill on leveling units. What's the recommended method of leveling up units early game? Playing normally really doesn't be the right route as fodder units from rewards and normal gacha give barely any exp. The bonus stages for those manyus jumped from 12 stamina to 50 which is too much for me right now. Is farming low level stages for chances the only option or is there something else I can do to level?

2. Is there a consistent way of obtaining flower gems? As in not one time reward stuff but rather farmable content, even if very low rate, or am I stuck having to rely on events and daily log ins (after I finish the campaign)?

3. Assuming there isn't a reliable method, are there any 5+ star girls available without gacha or events?

4. I was doing a mission and when choosing a helper, there was a Lv120+ player. Note that I was only Lv10~20. Does this happen often?

5. I want to do the fireworks event but obviously spamming the beginner mission isn't great. Is there a suggested Lv/Total Power for the stages?

That should be all for now. Appreciate any answers.

1: As you found out, the intermediate secret garden of 50 stamina is very stamina inefficient, not just at your level, it will always be. Your best bet currently is to farm 2-1 over and over for the beginner secret garden. It is not a glorious task, but will be your best way to level for a pretty long time until you gain some evolved girls and some decent (power)levels. Then you can push for 12-3 to farm advanced gardens.

2: Alas, there is not. Welcome to the suffering we all experience, after clearing all content once you are stuck with daily logins and events.

3: In general, no. Sometimes there might be some kind of promotion with a serial code (we had one once for Chocolate Cosmos) but in general the gacha and certain events (like the current crossover event) are the only way.

4: I do not know, people in your allied list do show up so if you have high leveled allieds that can be a big help in clearing maps. In addition to that, you will not see the full potential of helper squads until you have one girl at the max level, because helper squads scale with your highest leveled girl.

5: You are in luck actually, this is one of the few events where spamming the first map will yield you just about the same firework ratio as the advanced map. I would guess that they did this so the people from Idol Warz doing the cross-over don't need a fully upgraded team in order to farm for their rewards.



These are the stamina/firework ratio's of the current event.

1. Ok for farming Manyus and Leveling early on do 2-1 and It's Secret Garden. They both give the exact same Exp and have a good Exp Ratio per Stamina. They drop Lvl 20 Manyus. You should use Lvl 5 Manyus until a Girl reaches Lvl 30. After that you use Lvl 20 Manyus and for the last 10 Levels you can use Lvl 100 Manyus.

2. After you have got all Flower Gems from the Campaign the only ways to obtain FG is through Events, Daily Login Bonus or Maxing a Girls Affection.

3. Unfortunately No.

4. Nope usually you get a Helper who has your Lvl and Total Power at least for the early Leveling Process. I am not sure about this maybe someone else knows more about this. But that was my experience.

5. To Clear the most difficult Event Maps i think a Total Power of 200000+ is recommended. You could do it earlier if you have strong Allies in your Friendlist.

Thanks for the answers. I guess its off to farming 2-1 for a while then. A bit down I won't be able to get any high ranked girls but I guess we'll just see how the future events hold for me.

On occasion, a high level helper does appear on a beginner's public helper list; it might be a special feature to help new players gain access to strong ally because they will be generally matched to players at or near the same level/power prior to a mission. I remember picking up 2-3 players who were at Level 80-ish on my first day in the game.

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

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.
