Haiya!

god she said that fking word again

I'd like to give a written guide to nekoconne & what all gives rating. so read up if you're feeling lost! :)

  
~~honestly, this kindof doubles as a beginner guide since it includes every useful bit of info in the game. take it how you will honestly lol~~



Starting out, how does the rating system work?



The biggest factors to your rating are your Customer Service stat, character invest (Level + Limit Break stage/Awakening stage) and your Garden/Flower levels — though that doesnt mean you should skip out on food/sweets/drinks related upgrades like titles, Memory Board, etc either.

you want stats. lots of stats. every stat you can possibly get your dirty little hands on. and Nekoconne is very happy to reward you for being a filthy completionist.



want the Really Nerdy Version™?

Colordepth has already made a super in-depth breakdown of how the Rating calculation works. And a bunch of other stuff.



so if you're curious, bored, or simply a friggin' masochist, go read it here: [https://www.notion.so/Nekopara-SC-bc1qpjq2u4vwnyxe3u0flg8hfp3c8mfmd9f38ydu07](https://www.notion.so/Nekopara-SC-bc1qpjq2u4vwnyxe3u0flg8hfp3c8mfmd9f38ydu07)



But for *now*, here is every source of stats/rating in Nekoconne! First and foremost, the obvious things: leveling, limit Breaking (dupes), and/or Awakenings (more fking dupes) your characters increases their stats, and thus your rating.

theres not really much more to say here. level the damn catgirls.

if you have resources sitting around that can make your characters stronger, use them bro.



also, Elegant series accessories give a lot of rating too. they give around 320–370 Customer Service per slot, which adds up to quite a bit.

  


aaaand this is where the game begins heavily endorsing being a completionist/collector. Titles - ALL of them - give rating. And there are ALOT of them.

So here are things you can do for titles:

\-Bond level 10 characters

You can increase bond levels by:

winning stages, using skills (doesn't count if you lose/quit the stage. sad i know), enhancing skill levels, character levels, awakening levels, slacking events.

for the record, DO NOT clear stage 30/area 10 hard of Mystery House, those stages are INVALUEABLE for bond farming in endgame.



\-Event shop (every event gives you one. Sister's Quartet, Garden Bride, etc.)

\-The completion of VR Cat Tower Floor 100/300

\-Pawmpion Cup Rank 1/2/3

This is basically locked to the top 3 clubs of any given server, good luck with that bro



\-Buying all the furniture for Soleil (Each type \[Soleil, Natural, Girly, Cool\] gives two titles)

yes, you are expected to furnish the fucking cat restaurant.



\-Consistently playing Comm Mode daily

you earn titles for getting a set amount S or C ranks.

do you want to please your beautiful catgirls? better get to doing those S ranks first.



Or are you a prune who likes to leave them unsatisfied? C ranks.

for both of them respectively, you get titles at:

20 → 50 → 100 → 200 → 500

so, uh... go make the catgirls happy. or dont. idc. do *something* atleast



\-S rank a specific concert/song 3 times

It can be on any difficulty, woohoo lucky you - you dont have to grind rhythm gaming for higher rating.



\-Normal Story stage 300 of each arc

currently, only La Soleil/Sakura Hills titles are available - but in the future Gertrude, Bastet, etc titles will be available as the main story continues.



\-Placing well on the monthly event leaderboard

these ones are pretty weak unless ur top 1-3, so they're kinda just there for collection, yknow?



\-Special events (like Chocola & Vanilla's birthday)

\-and best of all..

# SPENDING MONEY LMFAOOOOOO



For Bond level titles,

3★ characters give +400 (food or sweets or drinks) +20 CS

4★ characters give +800 (food or sweets or drinks) +40 CS

5★ characters give +1200 (food or sweets or drinks) +60 CS



the rest of the titles give varying amounts, usually from 100 to 1500 food/sweet/drinks, and/or 20 to 500 CS.

  


Now, following the trend of collectionist buffs, the Memory Board (another completionist system of this game wow) gives TONS of stats when filled out.

Just like how I just listed titles, here are things you can do to upgrade your Memory Board:



\-Char growth/levels

10 → 30 → 60 → 120 → 180 

so level. your. damn. catgirls. this is not a request.



\-Bond levels

2 → 5 → 10 → 15 → 20 

wife up as many nekos as possible.



\-Buying out all of La Soleil's furniture (furniture, walls, food trucks, etc. its about 8m coins if I remember right)

furnish the god damn cat restaurant. im not just asking you anymore.



\-Developing all Soleil's food.

These unlock gradually as you level Soleil/the cafe, so keep developing your food as you progress. no, the restaurant will not furnish itself.



\-Sisters Quartet skins

Unfortunately they're unobtainable right now, which is really cool for anyone trying to 100% the Memory Board isn't it? There's a chance more skin collections in the Memory Board could be added in the future, but at the time of writing it's just the launch day skins.



\-Song/Concert titles

Currently, we have extra bonuses for the songs that were put out on release:

To The Future, Cute Domination, Flavor Of Love (1st title collection)

SWEET x SWEET, Heart-Pounding Emotions, My Dearest (2nd title collection)

maybe they'll add more. or maybe they'll stay lazy. 

who knows.



\-Accessories:

1★ → 2★ → 3★ → 4★ → 5★ (ngl this ones.. pretty self explanatory.)

Use your VR Cat Tower tokens to buy the lower tier (1 through 4 star) accessories for this :) very worth cuz these achievements give TONS of stats



\-La Soleil/Sakura Hill profile frames



btw!! Bond levels also give your characters a little bit of stats. total milestones give big stats (850-1000 accumulated bond levels. super endgame but oh well, it's there!)



Now, you've done all of this and you're wondering why you can't get past 3m rating. skill issue is why jajaja



this is where a lot of people skip out/forget it and yada yada.



The garden is a very big deciding factor in your rating since it takes everything else and multiplies it.



The max level for all flowers is 100, it takes a LONG time to max out your flowers, focus on the Beginner Flower while saving up your other flower currencies over time.



# So.

# DO NOT. NEGLECT. YOUR CAFE.

i know, i made it a bit earlier through form of 'furnish the fking cafe' but seriously, be attentive to it. you want to push your Cafe to level 35 as soon as possible for a multitude of reasons:

\-Furniture/Foods (titles, memory board)

\-Deliveries (these become a significant portion of your passive gem income. With a level 35 cafe you can bring in like 900\~ gems a day usually.)

\-Base earnings increase every 5 levels, so this lets you upgrade everything (characters, flowers) faster. You also end up unlocking more Duty slots so the buff gets higher on top of that.

\-Food truck levels, these increase the Food truck stats, sticker stats, and sign/display stats.

  
believe me, i would know! i spent my first month after launch neglecting my cafe so im a little behind on rating myself lol

  
Now, last and DEFINITELY not least. gems. we love gems. gems let us gacha. gems let us pull our waifus. gems also let us get screwed over for 140 pulls without a single freakin 5★ 

Here's every source of gems in this ~~god forsaken game~~ catgirl paradise:

\-Dailies/Weeklies (World Cruise, Pawmpion cup, Contest & placement)

\-Deliveries

\-Main Story (Normal & Hard difficulties. it's worth doing both. bonus points if you bond farm on these btw!!)

\-Story chapters (Main, neko stories AKA bond stories, event stories)

\-VR Cat Tower (big fat source of gems. like 120k in total)

\-Neko bond levels (wife. up. the. catgirls.)

\-First clears of Gift Quests

\-Player ranks

\-Achievements (mission achievements, not memory board)

\-Login bonuses (normal/events)

\-Ranking leaderboard (you can claim gems after players reach certain milestones. YOU dont have to personally do anything, so dont worry. lazy gems hell yea)

\-Mail, if our neko overlords feel oh so generous.  
hint: they dont.

\-Events

\-And my favorite one:

# the family credit card

(buying them. first time bonuses rly good if u wanna spend btw. the 50/75 shard packs good too because of the global 5 star shards)



and that's everything :)) if you need advice or anything just comment or msg me im happy to help, i tried to keep this useful + objective and not just "RAHH DUMP ALL YO RESOURCES IN THIS ONE SUPER OP META TEAM" lol



tl;dr for rating: limit breaks, awakening levels, leveling chars, titles, achievements, flower levels

and most importantly:

collecting fucking *everything*.
