ShinEraTenseiP/Love Route Training

(Original guide by Lawrence on /egg/)

NOTE: WOMEN ARE SUBOPTIMAL FOR TRAINING. GROW A FUTA COCK AND COPE, OR BE A MAN AND FUCK. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO TRAINING AS A WOMAN, SO YOU’LL NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT ON YOUR OWN. IF YOU GROW A FUTA COCK, THEN THIS GUIDE STILL APPLIES TO YOU.

(Note, this document was written at about 3 am and in a haze of annoyance over trying to explain the systems in auditory words)

Training in EraMegaten has 4 main outcomes for why you would do it. Probably more, but these are the big ones.

1st: Contracting a character to a new game+ in one of 3 fall states. Love, Whore, and Slave. These each have their own ways to get them, but if you want to speedrun training, then Love is the fastest by quite a bit and for Idol’s the most optimal. I will elaborate on this later. It also allows you to pretty much do any of these other options at any time, and thus contracting is very valuable. It does cost 1 million yen per character you contract, so do know that it’s quite expensive and costly if you’re working in the 50-day time limit on most endings. If you aren’t, then you’re completely fine and totally okay to do whatever you want.

(Note: There’s a 4th state called “Trust” that you can get by having untrained fall states on. I don’t do this because it’s a massive grind, but you certainly can if you don’t want to. Functionally what needs to happen is that you need to not train them at all and instead grind “loyalty” which you get a variable amount of from battle. You’ll need several dozen thousand loyalty to get them to a tier 2 fall state, so this is by far the slowest method.)

2nd: Working in the restaurant, which you can easily do after getting the first thing done post contract, as they’re with you forever, meaning you can put them to work in a new game+. The restaurant is for the purpose of getting Macca, which is a very useful currency in EraMegaten that you can never have enough of. When a character has fallen, you can put them in the restaurant, and they will passively make Macca every new day. Cooking EXP and Technique EXP can be gained this way, but general training allows one to get more Macca since having obedience and such boosts their total Macca gained per day, which you can see an estimation of the Macca Per Day (MPD) when you assign them to the restaurant. Now. You don’t actually start with a restaurant. You start with a food cart that gains less MPD than the restaurant. Furthermore, you can upgrade your facility in the Work/Sale/Manage tab, but I do not have the exact Yen value you need. Restaurant is overall a very good way to get passive Macca gain. (Note that bringing contracted characters to a new game+ greatly reduces the Macca they make as a balancing decision, so if they make 100 Macca a day in their original loop, they’ll probably make 10 in the new game+). There is an ending tied to the Restaurant as well.

2.5: There’s also a brothel, but I don’t know anything about it. Basically, you whore your girls out. I don’t do this. No clue how good it is, but the restaurant is just good.

3rd: Idols. Embrace your Inner I Corp and get the many simps of the world to hand you everything you could need, from Incense to Nuclear Warheads. Idols are the most broken system in the game, but like Restaurant you need to train people in order to get it. Unlike cooking, though, you should probably train them to level 1-3 singing yourself (ignore if Partner Fall State (aka untrained fall state)) as it will give them a boost in their early gains, which means more Sing EXP from the idoling for levels quicker. It takes a long time for them to get singing experience on their own, and personally training them yourself is the fastest method to give them sing exp. I mentioned earlier that Love is the best fall state, and that’s because it gives you a 200% BONUS WHEN THEY ARE AT LOVE AS IDOLS. This makes Love the only reasonable and smart idea for Idols, so get out there and become the Idolmaster that you were born to be. As with Resturant having higher obedience and other sexual stats tends to boost their output. This makes Male Idols technically worse since unless you want to give your guys big tits or something, then they won’t get the full bonus from it. Idols also have a unique thing called “Group Concert” which gathers a bunch of Idols and brings them all together to perform better. This is where your actual idol profits will come from. Groups get more overall Yen and items, but they need several nights till they get “synergy,” which allows them to perform better together. Adding or removing a member to an already established group fully resets this synergy, so keep that in mind. Characters also get a free +10, 0, or -10% depending on if they are the same alignment or negative alignment as the first idol. Like the Restaurant, you need to buy something. In the Idol industry’s case, it’s called a “concert hall,” which makes it so Idols can truly shine. A concert hall boosts the number of people who can participate in a group idol session (from like 5-10 I think). It’s been so long since I unlocked the concert hall. With the concert hall you can start making big gains and start getting around 1 million yen per group. You can have up to 3 groups, so that’s basically 3 million yen a night. This is also not including the value of the items you get, which will help make you even stronger.

4th: Selling. Selling is by far and large the quickest way to get Macca once you get good at training. Personally, I don’t do it, since I’m not a truly horrible person. Selling is best done with high-level demons specifically since you can train one with good traits and level it up (the level influences the base Macca price, which is then multiplied by the traits they have on them). Sometimes “negative” traits that make it harder to train them make the amount of Macca you get for selling them higher via the multiplier. Training level and personality/body levels are multiplied together with the base price, which is than the total Macca value you would get via selling them. and then register it in your Compendium to get it back out should you ever need to train another for more Macca. This is by far the quickest way for Macca in both the short and long term, but it requires you to go for Slave or Whore due to those giving you a bonus to your selling part while Love gives a huge negative to their sell price. AKA DON’T SELL YOUR WIVES YOU SICK FUCK. In order to get more positive traits on one demon, you can use sacrificial fusion, which is a system I won’t get into, but it allows you to add traits to demons in order to give them better things or remove negative traits. Build-A-Bear for demons, essentially.

Love route time.

TRAINING TIME. So. You read up on what you want to do. Hopefully you made your decision and the correct decision of going with the love route. I’m NOT WRITING UP 3 GUIDES FOR THIS. YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET LUST AND SUBMISSIVE ON YOUR OWN. THE GAME PRETTY MUCH TELLS YOU. BUT ANAL SEX IS EFFECTIVE FOR SUBMISSIVES; I’LL LET YOU KNOW.

Note: Generally I’d only suggest doing training post day 50 unless you’re going for an ending specifically tied to that time. 50 days is a lot, and you only ever need 2–3 days to train a character from nothing to Love. This can change depending on traits. (HERA YOU BITCH, YOU TOOK LIKE A WEEK AND A HALF). So take it slow but keep the time in mind if you’re going for time-limited stuff.

Traditionally you want to avoid getting hate marks before obedience 3 since you need service exp to get it and before obedience 3 it can be quite hard to make any at all due to them still mostly disliking you. A Hate Mark amplifies that dislike to a new height, so early on do whatever you can to avoid a hate mark. If you see one, I’d recommend reloading an old save (ALWAYS SAVE BEFORE TRAINING; IT HELPS) in case of emergency if you somehow miss that it says they get a hate mark. Extra safety is extra safety and less of a headache for you.

Step 0.5: There’s a setting where the people you start training and you yourself start naked. Turn that on. Will save a lot of clicks over time.

Step 1: Get the E-Massager, Rotor and Nipple Rotor, and Apron. These are for greatly speeding things up and are the basis to make this all possible.

Step 1.5: Buy Lube. It’s incredibly useful for speeding things up without giving any real negatives.

Step 2: make sure your girl (I don’t train guys, so don’t ask me advice on them) is humanoid with reincarnation Candy, since you can’t put on an apron or do a later step on them.

Step 3: Check their traits and see how difficult they are to train. You can generally tell if a girl will be annoying to train by her personality.

Step 4: It’s time to begin the fun. Or cry because she’s got no dialogue and is a pain to train.

Step 4.5: Turn off Mag Absorb if you want to give the character mag for whatever you want her to get mag for.

First off. I’m going into this assuming you know what Stamina and Willpower do. You will want to stop training when their willpower runs out most of the time unless they’re in affection, and you can push since if a girl gets fully exhausted, she will be unable to be trained due to no stamina and also get a lot of stress from it. (You can regain more by resting. Resting increases the amount of stamina and lowers stress faster.)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you get an obedience/submit level, some girls will get a hate mark if you make them orgasm. Keep this in mind, Slave trainers. Else you’ll be dealing with it/reloading frequently. Orgasms occur when you hit 10k in a few of the stats I’d hope are obvious. The Phantom Society offers you a helpful pixie for a reason.)

Now for the process. E-Massager > Nipple Rotor is a very, very effective tactic and much more so than hands while also being faster. This is the “core” of everything. It gets you a lot of C and B orbs for leveling their sensitivity, which helps them get desire orbs and other such things. Note that you want to keep Hostility and Depression below level 3 before you get at least a submit level, since at 3 you lose significantly more orbs than otherwise. Basically in summary, train till they’re out of willpower, stop, level up what you can, and repeat. You want to make sure girls don’t drop their stamina in any real way until you can start getting service levels. Post 1 is probably the safe bet.

NOTE: You might be getting stuck here and unable to level submission; usually you go for submitting orbs and stuff, but you need to get semen exp. A few blowjobs will be enough to get to the 10 minimum requirement, and then you can go from there.

Now. Once you have obedience level 2-3 you can start working on service levels. This is where almighty Lube (the one gift of the Axiom upon this cruel world for us slave trainers) comes in. It allows you to immediately get intercrural, which combined with a blowjob is a great way to get your first 2 submit levels and some good service pleasure. (Note that giving a girl big tits is pretty good, as it’ll help when you unlock boob job so you can go Intercrural > Boobjob as your process for more service pleasure and submit orbs.) Still, you want to avoid getting to hostility and depression level 3 if possible and exhausting your girls. Feel free to rest for a while if their stress gets above 70 and their stamina is low. [BROKEN] is a status that cannot be removed. You have been warned. This should all put you well on your way to affection if you understand it properly.

(Extra note: if you’ve gotten someone trained, doing double blowjobs and titjob is a great way to transfer MAG to multiple characters and just transfers a lot of MAG in general. Keep this in mind, will you? Double Titjob and blowjobs are a good way to transfer MAG.)

Affection > Love. It’s time. Before that, though. You will have transferred some mag over to your girl via blowjobs and such. Do note that you can upgrade girls' willpower and stamina. Willpower being the most important of the two but don’t neglect stamina due to what I’m about to talk about.

So. You’ve got your girl catching feelings for you regardless of her previous thoughts. Good job. Your Stockholm Syndrome 101 Textbook provided by the Phantom Society has paid off. Now you’re in easy land. It honestly gets easier from here. Though it will still take probably a day with a rest in it to get this done.

Naked Apron. It’s the key to ascending to lovey-dovey land quickly. It’s in special commands, where lube is under the name “Bride Play” (note that this option doesn’t exist on Lust or Submissive for obvious reasons). This will get an extra love point for every action. The one specifically we’re targeting is “Kiss” which is cheap, and since you need 200 love points, it’s a great way to get them. With bride play you also get way more submissive and obedience orbs for obvious reasons, so getting servicing 5 and obedience 5 can come mostly from spamming kisses. Note that kissing drains stamina and willpower almost at the same rate, so doing it greatly exhausts the girl kissing is the most effective manner overall. Once you get to about 170-180-ish Love EXP over 2-3 training sessions, work on boobjob and Intercrural again to get the last service EXP you need, and then boom. Girl successfully Stockholm’d into loving you with her heart and soul.

INITIATE PROJECT I

If you’re reading this, that means you’re after the sheer absurd power of Idols specifically. Unlike the above guide, this one will be a bit more sparse as Idols are a snowball effect of training them enough so they can participate in concerts and then letting that carry you if you want to get several idols at once. Or you can do what I did and personally train all of your idols to rank 10 singing before settings them on stage. (For practicality purposes, I do not recommend this.) As opposed to my earlier guide, this one is made roughly a year or 2 after and therefor is less schizophrenic in nature. For the sake of my readers and Aspiring Idolmasters and future Phantom Society Executives, I hope the following is more useful to you.

To quote the texts that I will be referencing. Idols have some prerequisites that the system otherwise doesn’t mention, specifically a very easy and light barrier to entry. You need at least 5 points to be able to actually assign them but you should reach this quite easily by just doing some basic training. Most girls will probably get this by the time you reach love, however it is worth mentioning in the rare case that you cannot and therefore wonder why your girl cannot take her place on the stage to fulfill her (your) dreams.

Skill/Trait	Level/Exp	Points
Singing	1-2	1
3-4	2
5 or higher	2
Sing EXP	50 or higher	1
100 or higher	2
500 or higher	3
Live EXP	20 or higher	1
50 or higher	2
100 or higher	3
Fast Leaning		1
Show-off		1
High Learning		1
Charming		1
Popular		1
Fast Learning		1
Technique	3 or higher	1
Exhibitionism	3 or higher	1
Trust		1
Sworn Friend		2
Blood Oath		3

There’s also another factor: Stamina. Idols are a very tiring work, so do not think you can truly benefit until you pump a ton of stamina via mag transfer or taking them though many dungeons. I’d say a good beginner amount is over 1k for each girl you plan to idol with. Additionally, and most importantly. All workers must have at least 501 stamina and concerts can only be held at nighttime. You can only do your concerts at night so if you want, feel free to personally train your girls (and yours as well) singing talent via training. (NOTE: Only girls with a tier 2 fall state can be trained via the training menu in singing. You can also train cooking here if you want to restaurant.) Each concert you do also costs double the amount of the last in stamina. For example. 1 is 500, 2 is 1000, 3 is 2000, 4 is 4000, 5 is 8000. You only need 8000 to do 5 at once, however. So technically this isn’t really how I should write it, but you should understand what I mean. Group Concerts can only be preformed up to the max if EVERYONE is as good (Example being: If you have 3 characters with 4k but 2 with 3k than you won't be doing 4 concerts back to back with that group and their maximum will be 3.)

NOTE: I also don’t recommend you preform to the maximum if your girls (or men I don’t judge) also work in the restaurant, as this takes place AFTER concerts and can fully exhaust your girls' energy meaning they will be unavailable for several days, unless you really need cash, I highly suggest bumping their numbers way above the stamina cost or preforming 1 less than the maximum. Also, please buy a concert hall by this point if you’re going to be investing in idols. It not only increases the amount of idols you can have, but the base profit to 140%

Additional notes:

• Exp and Orbs can be obtained from performing in a concert.
• The day ends when you leave the Work/Sale/Manage screen, having multiple idols makes for a more efficient income.

Now that we’ve covered some of the basic traits, let’s talk about how you can increase your idols gains. At this point, I expect you to have picked out a few demons or humans you like and are deciding that you want them to be the first to become idols or are testing the waters. Idols work off points. More Points? More Money and Items.

• +Max 400p：Sing EXP (Maxed at 250)
• +Max 500p: Live EXP (Maxed at 250)
• Max 780p：Singing (Maxed at Lv10)

These are added to the base amount of points that the demon brings. No don’t ask I can’t answer but you can easily check.
Following up on this would be the Multipliers added onto of everything else to really get a boost out of your idols! Stack up as many of these as you feel on all of your girls, but it’s no worries if you like them without the traits. This is just everything that CAN increase your idol's profit. (NOTE: This is for EACH INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER. So you will want ALL of your idols stacking bonuses at once.)

• +Up to 100% Obedience, Desire, Sex Addict (Maxed at Lv10)
• +Up to 50%: Technique, VSensivity, Servicing, Exhibitionism, Masochism, Sadism (Maxed at Lv10)event;

• +200% Love, Sworn Friend
• +100% Affection, Trust
• +50% Mysterious charm
• +30% Charming, Sucker, Popular
• +20% Strong will, High pride, Tsundere, Show-off, Man Hater, Woman Hater, Youko, Giant figure, Demonmilk
• +15% Fast learning, Flat chest (only female), Huge tits
• +10% Timid, Docile, Quiet, Sassy, Pain tolerant, Devoted, Perverted, Bisexual, Sadist, Masochist, Believer, Little Devil, Temptation, Small Figure, Small tits, Big tits, Big figure, Vampire, Animal ears, Tiny figure

(Note: I’m not sure what the conditions are to unlock this event; it's probably having a certain number/amount of idols/idol popularity on either yourself or your idols.)

If you have the concert events demons, the following multiplier to the final result is added (multiplicative with the facility level bonus):

• Vocalist Siren x110%
• Scriptwriter Siegfried x110%
• 『Spectator』Dionysus Aura x115%

There are some negative traits as well that HURT your income too. There are a few ways to get rid of negative traits, but that’s outside the scope of this guide unless people ask for it, and therefore I’m not obligated by anyone unless the CEO of the Phantom Society themselves comes down and asks me to. You’re an up and coming idolmaster and trainer, so you can get on that yourself.

Here are the factors that help it Decrease greatly: Insane, Broken (Both multiply the result of base points * multipliers by 0.08 * Obedience)

• -20% Low pride
• -15% Slow learning
• -10% Lacks emotions, Pain vulnerable, Defiant

Depending on the idol popularity, there is a profit limit:

Idol Popularity	Max Profit per concert (yen)
Less than 50	2000
50	3000
100	4000
200	6000
300	No limit

NOW for the part you’re all waiting for, I did touch on it briefly, but I will offer a chart to speed things up. Aside from money, there are plenty of other good reasons to do this, specifically money and incense.

• Popularity increases or decreases depending on how the concert goes
• When your idol popularity reaches 100, the worker gains Popular
• If the worker is Popular, there is a chance to get presents (incense, life stones, etc).
  • The Concert hall presents are additional to the Night Club ones.
  • The Concert hall has 2 item pools, the 2nd one is used if the first one didn't give out incense.

Facility Level	Common	Rare	Super Rare	Very Rare	Ultra Rare
)Street Concert	Trash			Incenses, great chakra	Incense Set
Night Club	Life Stone, Bead	Large Noodle Cup, Sushi Set, MRE Ration	Chakra Drop, Ceremonial Arrow, Deadly Needle	Law Stone, Chaos Stone, Light Stone, Dark Stone, Chakra Pot
Concert Hall				Incense Set, Great Chakra
(No incense)	Life Stone, Bead	Large Noodle Cup, Sushi Set, MRE Ration, Various gems (1% for set with one of each)	Chakra Drop, Attack Mirror, Magic Mirror	Bread Chain, Chakra Pot, Nuclear Bomb

In short: Better idols and better performance, better items. I regularly get several incense sets, great chakras, and I am DROWNING in gems due to doing idols (almost) every night (Give the girls some breaks here and then as it will allow them to recover their stamina more). Once again, just resting restores more stamina than training/exploring so do this if you’re playing without a time limit (or you’re getting close to it.) This is a short guide on idol training and gives you the basics you need to know.

(Before you get confused: GROUP SYNERGY DOES NOT MATTER. Group Popularity and traits are all that you need to worry about. I’ve never seen an Idol go negative in popularity, so even with a few positive traits you’ll be swimming in yen in no time.)

This has been a brief guide to training in EraMegaten.
