It's been a hard grind lately. Progress has mega slowed. I'm on like Mirage or whatever. The thing to give me lvl 80 fruit. Tomorrow I should clear it.

I can only get on a little bit a day through the use of some OP friend borrows.

I definately should have stuck to orange equipment. I reforged 3 Yellows before I realized that boosting orange was simply better for now.
(Plus eternals suck)

Recently I've come to grasp the value of boosting your def gear on your front liners.

In terms of party, I think it's obvious that the game wants you to go 3 starters + 1 healer + 2 frontline (1 starter as backup) and you boost all of them with different monster pick ups.

Stuck trying to get the evee girl from black market before I can continue to combine.

A lot of the combine monsters, on further inspection, use time limited heroes. So this game gets a lot more p2w than I thought in that regard. You can't see the exact rates or anything, but that usually means they're total ass. And truly, I have so far not gotten any limited monsters from my modest purchases.
