Server went down; time to forum rage

Edit: Ohay, servers are back mere minutes after I post

But yeah.........I went ahead and checked your past posts for aid (completely not stalker-ish) and saw lots of nice info; seems like it's actually your first time mentioning party composition and map placement, but amen for everything else. We should just copy and paste the discussions you're involved in and that'll become NA's guidebook.

Something else I noticed and that's mentioned is that the affection buffs are actually really quite OP. Certainly, the lovey-dovey scenes are probably the primary motivator to achieve 100%'s, but they actually pump out a boatload of stats, about +15 levels' worth. I was surprised to see that my base team was actually keeping pace with other players' Lv30 Evolved units; spoiling those girls rotten to the core is extremely well worth the effort.

->Open Spoiler<-

I actually found out and started the game a couple days late, so I missed out on the Bloom Dragons and was stuck level-capping EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE of my bases and feeding them gifts from a machine gun (gawddam, they are freak'n cake monsters and jewelry thieves OTL). Now that I can access the Bloom Dragons and thanks to the time spent on gift gathering, my Helper-total almost shot up 5000 points upon evolution, instead of decreasing. My overall total also shot up about 20,000, from 170k -> 190k, after boosting them back up to Lv25; this was all done today with the Red Bloom Dragon and I still have 3 more to collect.
