I'm at 49/50 Isabel (Isabelle? I wish they'd proofread at least on important stuff like character names.) shards from farming just the easiest stage. I'm unable to complete the second stage...maybe I'm doing something wrong but the trash mobs on it take a good chunk of my HP before I even get to the boss. I couldn't even cheese it with a high-level ally.

Doing it this way won't be for everyone, because I've sunk every single AP since the start of the event on that one fucking stage to get there, but it can be done. But on the plus side, I've got nearly every character maxed from all the books.

So second day with the Princesses.

I unlocked Trisha's love scene at Level 15, and she is just too damned sweet and adorable to stand. I'll need to get Meryl to 25 (which WILL necessitate getting enough shards to up-star her) so I can compare the two -- I always did like the more amazonian blood-knight types.

I got my hands on some Collegiate Water Scrolls from a Vessel Summon (would have preferred another girl, but you take what you can get) and used it to skyrocket Isabel, my first three-star girl, into my main ranks at Level 15-16. I've not taken her on missions yet, as she's currently on cleansing duty at Aphrodite, but if her performance in the Tower before she got taken down is any indication (the word "beast" would be appropriate if not for the fact that that's the name of the main enemy of our girls -- she wrecked the first two levels all by her lonesome before being taken down by the girls of the third level), she's going to be one of my mainstays.

Still haven't gotten an Air girl, which is pissing me off big time, not the least because the grand majority of the second act had me defaulting to other people's Air girls to clear out the nasties. It was like the time I had to go Riderless for much of early FGO before getting my hands on Alexander. I still haven't decided on which archetype I want to use (and thus which girl I want to build up shards for).

FWIW, the general consensus is that 3 star girls are far more trouble than they are worth, unless you're whaling. They are relatively strong at first (of course) but it is *far* harder to get additional stars for them. You're starting girls could be 6 or 7 star before you finally get one of them to 4 star.

You can buy 3 Naladia and Emily shards every shop reset from the Arena Store (assuming you have 160 arena coins per girl) and 3 Trisha and Elnora shards every shop reset form the league shop (again, 160 league coins each girl)

You get league coins very fast, and Arena coins relatively fast, so you should probably be able to make at 2 purchases from the arena store and 4 from the league store every day.

Which obviously makes Naladia, Trisha, and Elnora the fastest girls to star up.
