Best Zodiac Stats? [Early Mineral]

[Penultimate Chimera]

I noticed my Zodiac Quality was fluctuating by just focusing on replacing lower quality Pisces, and lo! it's because I'm trashing ones with better xZodiac Quality than what I'm getting.
But this means I might need to micromanage each individual stat...

So, I gotta ask - What's the best individual stats to focus on?


Definitely focusing on Pisces's xQuality first and foremost - Luck is in intervals after all, and I'll get that from other sources quicker - And it's far less reliable than xQuality

On my Attack/Gold build:
- For Aries, I might focus on xScore? Is something else better than that in the long run? Common Exponent?
- I notice most of the builds people recommend on guides say 3 Aquarius, 1 Libra. Is the +LabLv the one to focus on there, then? What about for the Libra? Best EP gain?
- The only thing Scorpio has above Cancer is a +Luck Stat, which shouldn't matter for grinding Gold, may as well replace all Scorpio with Cancer? Is there a reason to have Luck on Gold/Attack build? Plus, atp, I don't need much more DP, so may as well focus on Game Speed for Cancers?

Speed. The higher your game speed is, the quicker you'll get minerals, and the faster you'll progress. At first, focus on trying to get as many pisces as you can, using them to increase their quality more and more.

Full pisces is pretty much a killer for most of the mineral phase, except for Insane Trials and extra eternity challenges, which need other zodiac setups.

I zone out a lot on the nearly-an-hour mineral fall rate, so I'm definitely lagging behind on Minerals a bit, but yea Game Speed is gonna be a secondary focus while Pisces build themselves up
Might find game speed more valuable once the Game Speed Modifier is greater than ^0.10

With focus on game speed, it may start slow at first, but it will soon pick up. I'm only at ^0.26 game speed and already done with all the Insane Trials and have only two achievements left (million magnets and the very last one.)

Still pre-Insane Trials so, think I gotta focus on what I got now. Once I'm that far, I'm sure I can mix Quality and Speed

Pisces has Zodiac Quality bonuses, so you'll be doing both speed and quality at once.

I was crawling through minerals until I figured "oh hey, Pisces is the 'why not both?' of zodiacs..."

yep! guides say all Pisces, and apparently 1 Scorpio, for speed build, but why the scorpio?

I don't know what's needed on the "get gold" build yet but I'm well past the point of needing to farm up to the cost of minerals, just gotta wait for the price to fall

[Kyouko Tsukino]

Not sure why the Scorpio. On my testing of that one build, all pisces gave me only slightly slower minerals, but made up for it by letting me get higher quality faster. Results may vary, I guess, but I tend to trust my own eyes more than guides.

As for gold, the faster you get minerals, the faster you'll get to the point where you get gold increase from minerals, and suddenly you're at 3k attack levels and doing e400k damage.

For absolute maximum game speed, you need a Scorpio in the Neptune slot to get that extra 1.4x game speed for having an autumn zodiac in Neptune. For me, it's the difference between 2,125 local game speed and 2,344 local game speed.
