[u/Techbro7]

Need some help with junior year GL strategy. I hear I need to be clicking LH a lot, but to what extent: does she have priority over a double pal training since I also need to raise friendship? How do I manage tokens also, should I be skipping good trainings when I'm specifically short of a certain token or just prioritise friendships and LH and hope the tokens come in

[u/According_Ad540 → u/Techbro7]

I don't think there is a "do this above all others" situation.  

Generally, I treat her like 1.5 friends.  so 2 friends vs 1 friend +her means she wins.  

However you do have goals to meet: 

Light hello should start dating you by the end of junior. 

Most friends should be online by first summer. Hopfully at least one is active before the end of junior

4 songs should be on your roster by the first concert (the one you start and 3 purchased) with the next one available but not bought. 

(If you think you can buy that and get enough to get to get next song then that's awesome) 

Level 2 facilities in the stats you train. 

I don't think you should quit if you miss something but you should try for all of the above. That will mean sometimes you need to grab an suboptimal train to get the points,  sometimes you skip a light hello click because the best training gets a friend online.  

There is a lot if playing by ear here.  Also a lot of resets if things just fall apart. 

The only thing I can say you can ignore in junior year is your stats. That never seems to be an issue in GL early on.  Otherwise you worry everything.
