A Strategy Guide to News Desk.
Early stages: Battles: You are here to LOSE ASAP! Here is your battle priority list. 1. Sabotage Cassandra's work to stop glory growth, 2. Get your own work done to knock out Cass's work cards and to convert to energy. 3. Conserve your own energy. Map: There is a lot you need to do. 1. Increase your energy by working out at the gym until you hit the max. 2. Cass's Ex can be found in the business district and her daughter can be found in the education district. 3. Any spare blackmail should be spent on working Cass's mind column while avoiding the appearance column until Tiff's dorm is unlocked. 4. If you still have energy to spare, meet the other allies and start getting resource cards. Strategy. Tiff's card golden daughter puts you on a clock. You will need to progress with Tiff until that card is downgraded to just slightly positive glory for Cass. You can progress further if Cass is close to winning, but that should not be necessary.
War Chest: Map: Get work ethic and work cards from the newsroom, upgrade them at the business district, get rest cards from the gym, upgrade them, and make sure to obtain and upgrade money hoarding cards as needed to manage cash flow. You are going to have to burn some off later to max out Anthony so it is hard to have too many money hoarding cards. Remove influence gathering cards and continue to obtain and improve resource gathering cards. You are going to want to max out all allies in this stage. Battles: This will be your measuring stick for how well you are doing. As you progress you should transition from losing ASAP to using battles to generate resources. With a good deck, you should never have to worry about work or energy after the first few turns allowing you to start to playing money and blackmail cards. If you feel you are gaining a resource too slow or are struggling to keep the work and rest loop going, rebalance your deck. Cass will improve her deck when you move to the next phase so leave yourself some wiggle room. Strategy: As the phase name suggests you are going to want a massive war chest [or constantly cheat]. About 2000 money and 1000 blackmail if you don't want to ever worry about it. Along the way pick up a few generous and stick in the wheels cards, these are not end game cards. You will unlock better ones as you corrupt Cass and gain glory, so you will be removing them later, they are just to progress to this next stage. When you are ready to start the fireworks drop a safety save and fully corrupt Tiff.
The Endgame: Map: As you start winning and finally start working on Cass, you will eventually get the shit kicked out of you by goons. This means you have entered the end game and it is time to transition over to your final deck. You are going to need energy more than ever especially if you are not cheating. 1. Go to the gym to pick up another rest if you need it (these new cards are going to require more energy) keep visiting the gym when you have high energy to encounter your new ally Chad. Chad does not do anything in battles, but you will no longer need to look around carefully and he can help solve certain negative events. 2. Get the new sexual cards. Rumors (newsroom) is the centerpiece. Flash her tits (gym) is your new stick in the wheels, Bend over (Ghetto) will supplement info gathering; you are also going to need a lot of blackmail. I like to add a blowjob (gym) card just so I don't softlock the combo but it is not necessary with careful play. Finally get as many act lack a bimbo cards your energy income can handle. 3. As you add new cards start removing some of the old ones, stick in the wheels, and generous. 4. When may want to only upgrading your new cards once for anything other than rumors. You will have to double your deck, but if you are having problems beating, Cass this will make it easier. 5. Start maxing out Cass avoiding appearance until you have 6 on some other column, you will then need to focus appearance. Battles: Blackmail and energy are now king, you can no longer get energy from work at the end of the day so you will need to make sure you end the day with enough energy to act and blackmail for Cass. As you play sexual cards you will build up rumors for an eventually devastating attack. Combined with Tiff, you will win so long as you can survive. We no longer care about her work focus on keeping her influence down and your resources sustainable. For your influence 31 is functionally the same as 1000. We just need enough to play rumors and live. If you find this to be difficult you can upgrade your starting influence at the newsroom. You should never need an influence gathering card unless you want the scene locked behind that workplace competition. When it pops save get the card, win the event, and then reload your save. Strategy: Your goal is to use the Warchest to survive the transition to your new deck. The sexual cards are so powerful winning should be a breeze. Remember to not bleed your Warchest too fast, and to keep your work high to keep glory gains high.
Overview: This is a strategy guide to give you an overview not a walkthrough that will hold your dick for you while you piss. It is not comprehensive, I left some details out, have forgotten others, and most of the cards listed can be obtained in multiple areas. However, this will be more than enough for you to get started and to easily beat this silly porn game. This is the best guide I could write from my multiple playthroughs of this game. If you can write a better one please do so I can use it when I inevitably lose my save again.
