Note for those who haven't played PPS before...it will take quite a bit longer than 15 minutes to get 1,000 EP. You have to build up your team from scratch, and with the low seduction values from new cards you will use all your focus to defeat even really low level Elite Guards (EGs). Even having friends doesn't help, because you get more EP from doing the most damage on the EG (MVP points) and from getting the finishing blow (Seduction Artist points)...friends won't help until well after you reach 1,000 EP, which is where the EG will escape before you recover enough focus to finish it off yourself. Best to just let your focus recover and finish it off yourself. And forget about the Super Elite Guards or whatever they call them when phase 2 hits...just elixir them away if you have any available, unless your bench of high-seduction value friends is deep. But by the time you hit them you'll most likely have over 1,000 EP anyway.

(Also, a full attack with all six of your focus at once does more damage than six one-focus attacks, so there's a judgement call required for EGs that are close to your total SED value.)
