Key takeaways
- ✓Feeding a numbered fruit to the wrong rank
- ✓Spending Ripe Starfruit early
- ✓Starring a Pal you will replace
- ✓Assuming fruits beat condensing
Feeding a numbered fruit to the wrong rank
A ☆2 fruit on an already-☆2 Pal is a dead item. Always read the star row on the status screen first.
Spending Ripe Starfruit early
Using the flexible fruit on the ☆0-to-☆1 step wastes its only advantage. Save it for the steps that would otherwise cost the most duplicates.
Starring a Pal you will replace
Star ranks do not transfer. Rank the Pal you actually field, not the first legendary you catch.
Assuming fruits beat condensing
They are interchangeable in effect. Duplicates you already own are free; fruits are finite — use the cheaper resource for each step.
