Thread: Incentives to do "Battle"?

I only had val red battler drop from dark lord but I missed the first few days so guess its not too bad.

It seems to me your battle opponents are approximately equal to the mojo you have built up. If you are mostly battling bosses then you would have very little mojo built up since they don't give any. Battling weak opponents give you little experience. I don't really believe your figures. I have over 12,000 ego and can gain over 30 pts battling someone with 3000 ego. The ninja spy only has 2000 ego so I really doubt your points. I get 0 experience battling the ninja spy.

I am much further along than you, but by the time I was in Ninja Village and went back to battle the Dark Lord, it would not even reward me XP anymore, only money or item drops. It was suggested to me to keep some of my harem at level one to combat this, but even this did not work after a time.

I only get decent XP if I get a higher level opponent in battle, but most of them give like 5.

I think you're confusing Mojo and XP. Battling a boss will never give you Mojo. It may give you XP. I have battled other characters with 3000 Ego and it will give me more than 30 XP anywhere from 14-18 Mojo. You need to really pay attention to the characteristic of the judges. IE if you're battling while the old man is judge, he will call out positions which are usually based on know-how (70% of the time). You can generally beat someone with a lower ego than you unless their stat in the main category is higher than yours. You will get more Mojo and XP if the battle lasts longer.

Here's an example. Right now I have 12,396 Ego with 965 in charm and 530 in both harcore and know-how. I have chosen to battle someone that has 6464 Ego and hardcore/charm/know-how of 741/620/700. I earned 52 XP, 15 Mojo and 68 money. I then battled the Ninja spy who has 2076 Ego and 84/118/152. I earned no Mojo since boss battles don't give any. I also earned no XP since the battle is over in about a second. My prize was a box of chocolates instead of money.

I guess it evens up eventually.. I'm finishing invaded kingdom and the boss currently gives me 25 xp, while battle mode gives anywhere between 15-25. But when I start the next zone the reward will probably go up for a while. So battle might be more xp/point eventually, but you'd still not want to miss a chance to get the girls. Update: Edwarda gives me 62 xp currently, which is much higher xp/point than doing battle.

Also, climbing the tower seems to be a HUGE grind. I get around 15 mojo for beating opponents in the battle section, and dueling someone in top 10 only gives 32 mojo, so even if you're strong enough to beat someone on top of the ladder you still get pretty much nothing, which is a huge flaw in my opinion. Aka it has nothing to do with your character power, and instead is all about how many times you click the Battle button.
