Step-by-Step Guide to Reach E19+
By Halley
Earlygame
Reroll for good fortune (+3 from green dragon) and force 13 wait orphans. If you don’t get it reset.
Ideally you should enter first shop with 15 or more stars from fortune, as well as 5 from completion and 15 from 500% bonus. Buy 1 or 2 refreshes, but more importantly buy out the first shop – prioritize Comp Sprint, Yakuman Master, Soul Shrine, and Wombo Combo (dora after a win, gas can, bequest). Upgrading good fortune is also good. Else, prioritize good eco relics (excellence, Doggy > Piggy since it’s more helidroppable, also the free refresh is notable since it pays for itself) and high sellback.
If you get VIP early: take it 100%. Helps tremendously in finding the stuff you need. In ideal circumstances, you should have upgraded Soul Shrine and Yakuman Master by 2-3, sprint helps too (but less important because the scaling is worse).
Early/Midgame (piss tiles)
Try to get upgraded bequest. Gas can doesn’t need upgrading. Try to buy out dora indicators (!) asap to get rid of the “dora after a win”. Pray you actually get everything into piss asap. Shiny tiles helps but if you have upgraded shrine and are getting stacks on sprint and yaku master, it’s not worth.
After you got everything into piss tiles, sell gas can to try to get shiny tiles. Again if you see VIP, take VIP.
Midgame
Hoard until ex9. If you see a “exchange 3 only”, don’t be afraid to throw a few coins to find extra unopened tiles, or moon under the sea. Sell it if you can get a win guaranteed though.
Around ex7/8 (not sure the optimal timing), also spend a few coins here and there to try to find handouts (yes, the green relic is better than gift box). Handouts Does Not Stack If You Don’t Have It. This is why we try to spend a little to guarantee it early, instead of falling victim to O(n^2) scaling
Lategame (just before ex10)
Look at the condition. Sell Bequest, and try to find:
- VIP+ for micro and to squeeze out extra refreshes (only if you’re a masochist).
- Glance+.
- Envoy+.
- 4 nobles chrysanthemum+ for more open tiles.
If you get “max 3 open tiles” you’re kinda screwed lol gg. But everything else is a non-condition, except for like “disable 1” but you literally have 3 other talismans to bait.
Once you’re fully ready, head into the stage and take a screenshot. Map it out so you can get a guaranteed yakuman, easiest are (single wait) 4 concealed triplets and (13 wait) orphans. If you can incorporate an all honours into your triplets, that’s even better. Also don’t forget dora tiles
If you do everything correctly (and don’t get fucked over by either yourself or RNG), this should give you an e18 or an e19.
