Hmmm.
I kind of want to agree, but on the other hand, new players ARE going to need those HSP. Union Events coming up:
Mid Dec
Early Jan
Late Feb
Mid-April
They're not even monthly. And wasn't HSP gain per Union event nerfed? Are they going to get Shingen from all of those even? New players won't need Shingen for a long time, but they do need her eventually. How else are they going to earn HSP now...? Honestly, the fucking HSP system should be abolished. It was cool for a short amount of time, now it is just retarded gatekeeping for new players.
Anyway, I'd say: hang on to those points. Then you can use them on an Eidolon brick or HSP if you need to get your hands on Shingen faster. Either way, that's a decision that won't really matter to you until some months from now.
