As game is now - my best advise for free players who want to get to the top dont seduce any girls (dont move pass area 1-3) untill all you girl have max level incl. all girls from N-Gacha. Problem in this game is that you cant move back to old areas. This game is about seducing girl but if you do that you just make the game much harder for yourself. People at 1-3 will get all there girls maxed in 2-3 months. Pleyers who go to bonus stage will newer have all there girl maxed unless the spend tons of money....

If you happy at bonus stage then it is fine with me - I just feel sorry for the guys who are stranded there. I am fine where at top 10-20 and it hard to get much higher as a free player that dont cheat. Yes it takes tons of time to get to the top in a f2p p2w game like this without spending money but it can be done.
What's the obsession with having a high SED?
I'm only earound 250k, and I'm easily top100 in Coliseum (top50 if I actually pushed), and I got top1000 in guards, in spite of practically being unable to play half the event...
Unless you're a paying player, which will give you access to more than one e-gacha per event, guards is just not going to get much better because your SED is 30% higher.

Even then, staying too long in Stage 1-3 will actually cripple you, as you might get out of Stage 2-4 with a big nice SED (around 60% more than if you just made sure to get all girls), but that difference will be recouped in a month or two of gameplay.


While I do agree that staying a bit longer than needed in Stage 1-3 will help any newbie, in the end it's just a bit of a kick ahead.You'll have, what, 4 or 5 girls Lvl5? 3 of those N-cards?
I got past that a looooong time ago. By the time you're over 200k you should have pretty much all N-cards maxed, and at least a half dozen Rs and SRs too (plus half the rest at least halfway there).
Staying in 1-3 actually helps a lot more in the first few steps (when being a player with SED below 50k but having a half dozen cards maxed counts) than in the long run (when you have dozens of maxed cards, are completting most daily missions, and are battling it out for top places in the game).

And no, you can't argue that you level up the other cards with N-WCs from the pero, because that's actually one of the parts where BA gives good results (4:1 pero/sta ratio).
A player raises their stats a lot more from the events than they ever do from just normally playing
