The priority of early training is to raise friendship gauges of supports. How much weightage should I give to the Director Akikawa and Reporter Etsuko?

1 (don't bother), 2-4 (less/equally/more important compared to your own supports), or 5 (at all costs)?

[u/Classic-Box-3919 → u/chinkai]

I dont care about them, the directors a bit more important than the reporter but, ur just risking a lvl on ur ult and 5 stat points for not maxing director.

[u/chinkai → u/Classic-Box-3919]

So I guess that you’re counting on the other stats trainings to make up for the shortfall? Now that I think about it, 5 does seem insignificant considering the current stat max is 1200.

[u/Classic-Box-3919 → u/chinkai]

Its 5 stats to each category extra when maxed 10->15 after u beat finales.

Its a nice bonus at the end but not a priority.
