> -
>
> Tips: I'm a cinema and books type of otaku, but when it comes time for an event, I get so... hyped up on strategies... so I thought out some plans.
>
> 1: Increase poko power and go for the tough stuff. I'm thinking Day 75. Sardine-chan gives x2 chests.
>
> Equip all your troops with poko power up accessories... and use the poko power up ability to beat the stage!! Even at low levels, you can get pretty far this way.
>
>
> 2: Increase the number of rare chests with bonus troops.
>
> If you put Karhu-san and Anchor-kun in your squad, you can get up to 3 chests per battle. There's strength in numbers.
>
>
> 3: Auto grind.
>
> Use the auto ability from the ability up shop. Set your highest poko power unit as the leader, and they'll take care of all the enemies for you. The commanding officer can go take a break and watch some cinema or read some books. Just trust your leader and let them handle it.
>
>
> 4: Go for hard mode!
>
> The number of chests you get in hard mode is actually doubled! In other words, if you play Day 75 on hard mode, bring Anchor-kun and Karhu-san with you, and clear it...
>
>
>
>
>
> W-well anyway, see you later. I'll... do my best too.
