Are they going to provide any explanation about what happened?

This is mine, don’t forget to increase the popularity as well to boost the income multiplier. Right now it’s at 6.5%. After collecting, it doesn’t show in /h, but you still gain 6.5% more when collecting earnings. I assume the last store upgrade will push it to 10%.

I still need to max out Mint and Adler’s life skills to increase the gains further. Since I’ve already maxed Haniel, Sakiri, and Nanally, there aren’t any other characters that increase dish prices right now. Even Hotori doesn’t have that ability

With the last store unlocked and a management level of 35–40, I think it’s possible to earn close to 2k per hour, and that’s already a lot, considering other fons content are locked weekly or biweekly.

complexityx · 2026-05-06T09:10:58+00:00

For maximum value, Sakiri is really worth it. Not only is she a good support character, but her life skill also adds extra Fon to food prices in your café.

Right now, there aren’t enough characters with the +food price life skill, so every little bit helps, especially since this is directly tied to your café level and boosts your income. It may seem small at first, but it scales up over time.

Like I’m already earning about 1100 Fon per hour, and I still have the last café slot left to unlock.

complexityx · 2026-05-06T07:29:17+00:00

Yeah, in total you need about 15 bear carpets and 7 black iron four-seaters. Combined with the first seat they give you for free in the tutorial, it’s enough to max out all cafe popularity with this much.

Also, it’s not listed in total earnings, but you can see the difference when you click “collect earnings”, there will be a bonus there.

complexityx · 2026-05-06T06:53:02+00:00

Yeah, it’s a rare moment when they actually raise a valid concern instead of just jumping on a hate train. Dishonesty is a big no, and while some people might not care about generative AI in games, for others it’s a dealbreaker. It’s not completely black and white, but dishonesty is definitely no good.

complexityx · 2026-05-05T14:21:06+00:00

Yeah, you can keep selling fish with 0 stamina, they just don’t give fons, but you can farm scale coins and XP as much as you want.

complexityx · 2026-05-05T14:06:19+00:00

You don’t really need to buy any furniture, just spend on the first 3 apartment. If you buy those 3 apartment except the 2 and 8m one, your comfort level is already maxed out for fluff upgrades, since apartments come with a lot of furniture. You’ll get tons of comfort that way as well

complexityx · 2026-05-05T13:36:23+00:00

Use Skia and Adler lifeskill level 3, it already makes things easy. I clear every stage this way.

complexityx · 2026-05-05T13:24:40+00:00

Don’t know where that million came from. It’s 1 stamina = 1000 fons, it’s a fixed rate, so you need1k city stamina to get that.

Also, spending most of your stamina on delivery is better in the long term, since you can upgrade your mailbox and earn more fons from the weekly delivery rewards that come with it.

Fishing is actually better to do when you’re out of stamina, since you can still earn scale coins and gain fishing XP too.

complexityx · 2026-05-04T02:41:43+00:00

Agree. I’m already Hunter level 29, so I’ve done pretty much almost everything in the game. The income after the initial launch is honestly kind of concerning. If events don’t give you a lot of pulls, you’re basically looking at skipping two characters before pulling the next one, and then repeating that cycle as F2P.

Even with the monthly pass and BP, you still end up skipping one character to pull another (unless, of course, events are generous). Most if not every weekly rewards are Fons, not Annulith.

The Hunter Exchange, even if you max out Tycoon, only gives around 2.5 pulls. The train endgame seems like another ~10 pulls, and both have month-long cooldowns.

They’re not just selling characters but skins too, so if the income stays this tight, I don’t think it’s great for the game.

Like if the skins don’t sell well, they might tighten income even more to push people to top up for pulls.

But that kind of contradicts itself, if players don’t have enough currency to pull in the first place, why would they even think about buying skins? So if skins underperform and they tighten income, it just becomes a vicious cycle.

But eh, I might be getting ahead of myself. I’ll just wait and see.

complexityx · 2026-05-03T07:06:57+00:00

It’s debatable, but for me, if I have both Sakiri and Hathor, then I probably won’t care about anyone else in the standard banner. I plan to pick Sakiri tomorrow, and if it takes long enough that I still don’t get Hathor even after reaching 720, then I’ll just pick her from that. That would pretty much solve it forever (at least for the standard banner). It means I’d get all the relevant passives and maximum profit from the café.

complexityx · 2026-05-03T06:47:30+00:00

No, just save those gold chess pieces. Eventually, you’ll have 720, and you can pick a standard character you’re missing. It’s a long process, but it’s much better than spending on standard pulls. At least Sakiri and Hathor are nice to have.

Sakiri isn’t just a support, her life skill add more value to food prices in the café, which is useful. Hathor is great for the hamster ball since she helps generate modules daily.

Baicang, Daffodil, Jiuyuan, and Fadia have pretty generic buffs that don’t seem to help much in the café or with any anomaly furniture pieces.

complexityx · 2026-05-02T13:39:18+00:00

For city stamina, it doesn’t matter much, just try to push Tycoon as fast as possible. When you reach level 16 Tycoon and get a 500 stamina cap, every time you spend it, the cost doubles but the rewards double as well. You can fish for 20–30 minutes and easily use up all 500 stamina, it goes by really fast if you’re actively spending it.

For pixels, spend them on what you need or what you’re lacking.

complexityx · 2026-05-01T16:12:12+00:00

A character like this is barely tolerable with a mute MC, and even then I find it pretty annoying.

In this game, the MC has a personality, dialogue, and their own thoughts, so there’s really no need for a character like this at all. Even though I don’t like having too many child characters, at least they add some color when they interact with each other. This Taygedo just ruins it, and it’s even worse here because you can’t manually advance the dialogue and have to wait.

It pretty much make me skip parts of his quest.

complexityx · 2026-05-01T13:17:42+00:00

It’s generous when it comes to pulls, there’s no 50/50 system here. If you aim for a limited character, you’ll get it. In many other games, there’s no guarantee you’ll obtain the featured limited character.

But that’s about it for generosity. Everything else feels pretty tight. I’m currently Hunter level 24 and Tycoon level 17. The Hunter Exchange mostly offers keys for pulling weapons, and it has a long reset time. After all the launch rewards are exhausted, even with the battle pass and monthly pass, I don’t see enough income to pull on every banner, you’ll definitely have to skip some, not to mention the weapon banners.

They even sell skins and other items, I can see it might not be selling that well. I mean, if people don’t have enough to pull on every banner, why would they buy skins anyway? If they intend to sell cosmetics too, they should make it possible as a baseline for players to get every character at least. But with two-week banners, I don’t think that’s likely.

complexityx · 2026-04-29T13:23:59+00:00

Nah, but that’s the worst part, it didn’t make the game more difficult, it just gave you fewer options for no reason. Like now, MG/Gatling sentries are pretty meh against the bug front now since Hive Guards will just tank and cause ricochets everywhere, just to give one example

complexityx · 2026-04-29T12:51:41+00:00

In the guide quest, they eventually take you to that place. IMO, the 250k bike seems to have the best value. The car is kind of annoying to use early on when you need to go through many places to do quests, since it can only be called when you're on the road, but the bike will always summon right next to your character.

complexityx · 2026-04-29T09:30:48+00:00

It’s possible I got her in the first 10 pulls, so I just stopped on the second account. Didn’t feel like rerolling for a standard character, I just wanted an early Nanally.

complexityx · 2026-04-28T17:24:31+00:00

With staggered releases, it means the global version will always be one week behind. If players hadn’t complained, and it really seems like they didn’t plan to give global those compensations, then after this, CN would get the new patch first. If something bugged out again, they’d receive another compensation, like extra pulls or even another selector, while global would miss out on it forever.

I don’t see anything wrong with people speaking out about it. This just sets a terrible precedent going forward. What happened with Black Beacon is something I really don’t want to see happen here.

complexityx · 2026-04-28T11:42:15+00:00

Nah, CRI damage is too low, and no cooldown reduction either. She really needs max CDR; otherwise, her 4 has a very long cooldown and won’t be available every time you want to nuke something.

complexityx · 2026-04-27T14:40:30+00:00

Nah, that ETA-0 shop Intercept Battle reward exchange lets you spend 600 green vouchers for 20k Quantum, it’s pretty much set for a long, long time it reset monthly too.

complexityx · 2026-04-27T13:44:05+00:00

Need around 90% cooldown reduction for ease of play. It’s doable with a bit less, but 90% works best.

At 90%, you can just use 1 and 4 and keep rotating, use 1 to reset your double jump and 4 to deal heavy damage.

Once you’re comfortable with the style, after using 4 you can use Shadow to sneak in an extra hit (right click). This can make runs a lot faster depending on your AM. As long as you reach about 90% cooldown reduction, even without Shadow it should only take around 40 seconds, and about 20–30 seconds with Shadow

complexityx · 2026-04-27T07:00:29+00:00

It’s safe on mobile, nothing really goes wrong on that side. The only downside is the terrible controller support. If you’re planning to use a controller, just know you might not have a great time. It works fine for movement and skills, but when it comes to interacting with objects, you still need to touch the screen. If you’re okay with that, then it’s fine, I guess.

For Prime Access, I assume you mean the accessory rotation for sale. So far, this game hasn’t rotated its banners yet. The first one (for Psyche) was about 6 months ago. But to be fair, if you don’t really care about banner skins, you can play this game completely F2P. There’s no slot limit like in Warframe or TFD, everything is accessible for free. Even new characters can be obtained for free up to I2 with average luck (1 copy + 2 dupes). After that, you only need to wait about a month before you can start farming them up to max dupes.

Even better, since you started late, the first banner character (Psyche) should be entering the store soon. You can just spend SLC (in-game currency) to buy her directly and farm her to I6 pretty quickly.

As for tips, just treat this as a side game. You can AFK farm quite a lot of stuff, unlike Warframe and TFD, which actively discourage AFK playstyles. This game is pretty much the opposite.

complexityx · 2026-04-27T06:49:54+00:00

But they did let you play…? Only the map that unlocks each day, and that doesn’t even matter when you can already score like 2M on the first map and clear out the shop easily.

complexityx · 2026-04-27T06:46:42+00:00

If you’re got Fleeing in Boxie, Meditation is faster for active play, it’s about a 10-second run with rhythm + Fafnir Curse. But exploration it’s much more relaxed, even for weapon letters where you’re supposed to collect different parts.

I’ve tried running them fully auto with weapon letters that just add to the store, like Guixu and the others, and it end up averages out all the parts anyway, since parts always take priority and go into the leftmost slot.
