Okay, so that's 100% affection, a skill level and +9 levels for Ardisia in about 15 minutes, not too shabby.
Cash money isn't really a problem, sure I don't have enough to evolve a 6* yet, but getting there won't unmotivating amounts of time.
Now then, for my last real question, for now, how does this dragon system work? What dragons do I need to upgrade what tier? How do I even get dragons?
