Just hit a massive personal record of 22,069 Cat Food!

The self-control required to hoard this much has been real, and now I'm trying to plan my next big move. Here is where my account is currently at:

Elemental Pixies: I've already collected the entire team, so I'm completely set there.

Best of the Best: I've managed to pull most of the units from this banner already.

The Dynamites: I actually don't have a single Uber from this set yet.

Since I have a completely blank slate with The Dynamites, I'm torn on whether I should go all in right now or keep holding out.

What do you guys think? are the top-tier units in this banner worth burning a chunk of this hoard on, or should I save it for an upcoming collaboration or a different guaranteed event? . . .

[EDIT] Since I have a completely blank slate with The Dynamites, I was torn on whether I should go all in right now or keep holding out...^ Instead of just blindly asking, I actually went ahead and dug up a highly detailed, 40+ minute banner breakdown video to do some serious research first. I figured I'd answer my own question and map out exactly where every banner ranks based on currency value so you guys don't have to explain the basics. Based on that deep dive, here is the ultimate rule-of-thumb breakdown for Catfood vs. Rare Tickets that I'm using to plan my next move:

😼Category 1: Rolling with Catfood Rule: Only spend Catfood on the 11-Draw during "Guaranteed Uber" events. Never waste it on Fest banners where you can't guarantee a drop.

• S Tier (The Almighties, Ultra Souls, The Dynamites): Unbeatable high-tier Ubers (like Kasa Jizo or Balrog) and game-breaking Ultra Forms.
• A Tier (Dark Heroes, Galaxy Gals, Metal Busters, Air Busters, Iron Legion): Excellent coverage for specific traits (Aliens, Floating, Zombies). High-utility generalists and essential crowd control.
• B Tier (Wave Busters, Sengoku Wargods Vajiras, Red Busters, Colossus Busters, Girls & Monsters): Strong specific counters (like Yukimura or Pai-Pai), but the overall pool is slightly narrower or includes a few more mediocre units.
• C Tier (Dragon Emperors, June Bride, Elemental Pixies, Tales of the Nekoluga): Cool designs but glaring flaws (slow movement, long cooldowns, or niche usage). Only roll if you desperately need a specific counter.
• D Tier (Seasonal Banners - Gals of Summer, White Day, Halloween, etc.): General Ubers here are pretty "mid." The only saving grace is if you manage to grab the exclusive Brainwashed Cats.
• F Tier (BusterFest, Dynasty Fest, Royal Fest, Uberfest, Epicfest, Superfest, Selection Banners): Do not spend Catfood here! Because these lack a "Guaranteed Uber" feature, you run a massive risk of walking away with absolutely nothing.

🎟️ Category 2: Rolling with Rare Tickets Rule: Use your Rare Tickets to chase maximum base drop rates. Fest banners are king here because they boast 9% to 10% Uber drop rates.

• S Tier (Superfest, Uberfest, Epicfest): The absolute best use of Rare Tickets. Superfest combines the entire pool with massive 10% drop rates, while Uberfest/Epicfest offer incredible, exclusive Fest Ubers.
• A Tier (Selection Banners like Excellent/Ultra/Miracle 4, Best of the Best): Smaller, curated pools mean you have a much higher statistical chance of pulling a top-tier powerhouse (like Balrog or Lasvoss) or limited exclusives.
• B Tier (Seasonal Banners): Rolled here strictly to hunt for the Brainwashed Cats (like Brainwashed Macho Legs or King Dragon), which are exceptionally strong utility units.
• D Tier (Royal Fest, BusterFest, Dynasty Fest): Disappointing Fest variants. They look enticing but feature diluted pools full of mediocre Ubers, making your chances of getting a "game-changer" very low.
• F Tier (All Regular Sets like Almighties, Dark Heroes, etc.): Never waste single tickets on standard banners. Save these sets for when you can use the Catfood step-ups.

I WANT MANIAC ERASER TOO (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥)

Just managed to pull the last one I needed to fill two whole rows with the Elemental Pixies. Sending all my luck to anyone still trying to pull their favorites! CotC won't know what hit it.

I’m currently catching up on Girl Rules, but I keep seeing these specific 'SashaGorya core' clips that don't look like the episodes I’ve seen so far. Are these from upcoming episodes, or is this a different project with MilkLove?

Would appreciate some help with the timeline because the chemistry here is insane!"

Is it just me, or does the default library view sometimes just… not vibe? 😭

I’ve been spending way too much time lately DIY-ing custom covers for my manhwa collection. There’s just something about having a clean, aesthetic, or high-res edit instead of a random pixelated crop that makes the whole library look elite.

It’s getting to the point where I spend more time in my editing apps than actually reading the updates. I’m out here treating my digital library like a curated Pinterest board. 💀

Am I tweaking or do any of you guys do this too? Drop a screenshot of your library if you’ve got custom covers, I need more inspo (and to know I’m not alone in this obsession).
