Guys (ang girls?) any tips how to best make money from the start? WITHOUT CHEATING ... I dont mind grinding. Walkthrough is for how to strip this heroine and how do this event etc. ... but not much about management. thanx
The key to making steady money early on is upgrading the first device as soon as you are able. Then when Vandal Savage gives you his "donation" of 100k use that to unlock the first Strip slot.
After that alternate your first girl between Dance and Strip.
Do that until you can build another device and have Mercy use it one someone. Upgrade the new girl's device so she can strip as well and start alternating both girls between Dance and Strip so you don't get any cash penalties.
After that you can either capture and upgrade the third girl first or unlock a second strip slot (don't buy the other dance slots yet)
Once you do that you can cycle all of the girls between the three slots to reduce any cash penalties.
Example:
Night 1: Dance -> Batgirl, Strip -> Huntress + Canary
Night 2: Dance -> Canary, Strip -> Batgirl + Huntress
Night 3: Dance -> Huntress, Strip -> Canary + Batgirl
Then once you do that, make Giganta the bouncer for 10% income boost, and remember to change into Lex's business suit as soon as you are able for another 10%.
After that you should have a pretty steady income to get the ball rolling. If you don't want your money to freeze completely while upgrading the Glamor-Slam, save up some money to fund low-level cash heists while the construction happens. It's a gamble, but better than nothing. Buy the magic coin from Tala to tip the odds a little.
There's probably a better system, but this is the one I use.
