Operation Perseus Cleared:

I spent another full day playing Heaven Burns Red in order to clear the Nanami event that was being held at the same time as the Chie event.  That event netted me some fine loot as well -- it got base Erika to max level 4 limit break, and an eternal daphne which I used on spica Yuina.  Then I got another eternal daphne for reaching player rank 120, so I used that on maid Hisame.

The paid quartz recruitment campaign this time let me choose who I wanted to get, out of 10 options (so I don't automatically get my favorite choice, but all ten choices are at least among my priorities.)  The deal was too good to ignore, so I paid $150 and starting rolling.  I focused on recruiting the remaining SS Memorias I didn't own yet, and netted 7 of them -- dango Yayoi, raccoon Kanata, ryoukan Satomi, wolf Chie, dandy Misato, hot springs Minori, and shrine maiden Risa.

There are only 6 SS Memoria I don't own in the game, now.  Street clothes Yingxia, jacket Ichigo, ninja Monaka, kimono Akari, magician Isuzu and sheep Yotsuha.  I have a plan to acquire sheep Yotsuha soon, so really it's just 5 SS Memorias in the entire game I haven't bought or acquired by lucky free rolls.  5 missing compared to 143 acquired.  That makes me about the most dedicated player of HBR in the entire world.

I also got some useful limit breaks -- spica Yuina reached level 3 limit break, kimono Muua level 1, and swimsuit Adelheid reached level 3.

I got all the useful loot in the score challenge by using my critical penetration squad, scoring over 1.3 million.  I was supposed to fight it with my light squad, but they could only get to 1.2 million.

All new SS Memoria are welcome, but the one I really wanted was dandy Misato.  Her abilities seem ideal for my fire squad.  I noticed that Tama was barely being used in my fire squad, so I moved her over to my secondary fire squad and put dandy Misato in her place.  Diva Ruka can heal the party fine on her own, and Misato's debuffs are more powerful than Tama's buffs.  In addition Misato can give +5 sp to the whole party with her exclusive ability, whereas Tama can only give +3 sp with hers, and to make matters worse Tama's +3 sp doesn't aid diva Ruka, while Misato's +5 sp does.  Misato can also gain resonance abilities from her supporter while Tama can't.

The only problem is magical girl Tama has been buffed to the max -- max memento, eternal daphne, limit break level 4.  Dandy Misato has no buffs.  No daphne, no memento boost, no limit breaks.  So probably right now Tama is still the better choice.  But looking forward into the future the math favors Misato.
