Hey Zeleadoni,

I've been doing some calculations with the card "Shepherd" (which has 4 stages of evolutions) just for your curiousity and I'm going to share the results with you. I only evolved the "Shepherd " card to ★★★☆ but I hope this will give you an insight of how efficient it would be. I might edit it into the article once I have further proven the effectiveness of it.

Interestingly enough, the first evolution stage gives you the most profitable stats while the next stages gives you very little stats so I don't know how to quite deal with it all.

Here are the values for an [★★★☆] Shepherd card that has been evolutioned from Lv. 1 Shepherds only.

Lv. 0 [☆☆☆☆] = 1600/1600

Lv. 1 [★☆☆☆] = 2008/2008 ; stats increased by 25,50%

Lv. 2 [★★☆☆] = 2028/2028 ; stats increased by 00,99%

Lv. 3 [★★★☆] = 2029/2029 ; stats increased by 00,04%

I expected the card would grow exponationaly but it turns out that the card would grow slower and slower on each evolution.

If you care for those 00,99% and 00,04% at second and third level and want absolute perfection for your card (which I recommend for SR cards and special R cards) then it would work out for you.

But if you want to maximize the resources used to increase the stats for a card that you'll temporarily will use in your team, then I would recommend you to only max. the first level of that card and evolutionize it to get the highest stats possible.

I also highly recommend using Arcana Succession at all stages so that you'll extract 5% (in this example, a Lv. 1 "Shepherd" would give 80/80 into its next [★☆☆☆] evolution) of the cards stats to your outcomming evolution.

Thank you very much for reading. Any suggestions and needed advice would help me improving the comfort for the english reading playerbase of VC.
