Quick n' Dirty Min/Max Cheat Sheet

Just started playing the game for about a week, and haven't really gotten down all the optimised ways to do things in-game. Digging through the spreadsheets every time was kind of time-consuming, so I figured I should make a quick and dirty cheat sheet containing only the most essential info.

If I got anything wrong, or if you have something new or know the original source for any info in here I should credit, let me know!

Increasing Skills

Officers need 55 extra skill points to max their skills. Promoting with the same officer provides these bonus skill points:

• 1★: 1+1 skill points

• 2★: 2+1 skill points

• 3★: 3+2 skill points

• 4★: 4+2 skill points

• 5★: 5+3 skill points

Most efficient way is to promote from 4★ to 5★ with four of the same officer, then promote from 5★ to 6★ with another four of the same officer.

Refining Items

Fodder for items at each ★ level, in order of efficiency:

• 1★: 1★

• 2★: 2★, 1★

• 3★: 3★, 2★, 1★

• 4★: 4★, 3★, 2★, 1★+20

• 5★: 5★, 4★, 3★, 2★+20, 1★+20

• 6★: 5★, 4★, 3★+20
