    What makes you choose a certain avatar?
    These are the 3 main factors that affect the choice to choose an avatar.
    • Appearance
    • Percentage bonus
    • Price of the avatar
    Some will choose the cute or handsome avatar that they like. Some will only choose the lower % bonus avatars due to the insufficient EC. Some will consider the % bonus attached to the avatar.
    Well, i am not going to touch on the avatar appearance or the price of it. I am going to give examples on the effects of different % bonus on different stats.

    Maximising the use of % bonus
    To effectively maximise the usage of the avatar % bonus, i recommend those having a higher strength than intelligent stats, to use the avatar with a higher strength % bonus and vice versa for those having higher intelligent stats. As for those having a balance stats, any avatar can be use, no special recommendation.

    Example

    Let's use an lcbc stats and 55ec male avatars for the example. For easier calculation, i'll be rounding the combined stats to 1.4mcs.

    Stats - 1200k / 200k(strength/intelligent)
    Volleyball CAPTAIN - 35% / 5%
    % convert to stats = 420k/10k = 430kcs

    SURFER Dude - 28% / 12%
    % convert to stats = 336k/24k = 360kcs

    Fake DJ - 20% / 20%
    % convert to stats = 240k/40k = 280kcs

    Know-It-All NIHILIST - 12% / 28%
    % convert to stats = 144k/56k = 200kcs

    Part-Time POPSTAR - 5% / 35%
    % convert to stats = 60k/70k = 130kcs

    Stats - 950k / 450k
    CAPTAIN - 35% / 5%
    % to stats = 332.5k/22.5k = 355kcs

    SURFER - 28% / 12%
    % to stats = 266k/54k = 320kcs

    Fake DJ - 20% / 20%
    % to stats = 190k/90k = 280kcs

    NIHILIST - 12% / 28%
    % to stats = 114k/126k = 240kcs

    POPSTAR - 5% / 35%
    % to stats = 47.5k/157.5k = 205kcs

    Stats - 700k / 700k (balanced)
    CAPTAIN - 35% / 5%
    % to stats = 245k/35k = 280kcs

    SURFER - 28% / 12%
    % to stats = 196k/84k = 280kcs

    Fake DJ - 20% / 20%
    % to stats = 140k/140k = 280kcs

    NIHILIST - 12% / 28%
    % to stats = 84k/196k = 280kcs

    POPSTAR - 5% / 35%
    % to stats = 35k/245k = 280kcs

    Stats - 450k / 950k
    CAPTAIN - 35% / 5%
    % to stats = 157.5k/47.5k = 205kcs

    SURFER - 28% / 12%
    % to stats = 126k/114k = 240kcs

    Fake DJ - 20% / 20%
    % to stats = 90k/190k = 280kcs

    NIHILIST - 12% / 28%
    % to stats = 54k/266k = 320kcs

    POPSTAR - 5% / 35%
    % to stats = 22.5k/332,5k = 355kcs

    Stats - 200k / 1200k
    CAPTAIN - 35% / 5%
    % to stats = 70k/60k = 130kcs

    SURFER - 28% / 12%
    % to stats = 56k/144k = 200kcs

    Fake DJ - 20% / 20%
    % to stats = 40k/240k = 280kcs

    NIHILIST - 12% / 28%
    % to stats = 24k/336k = 360kcs

    POPSTAR - 5% / 35%
    % to stats = 10k/420k = 430kcs

    From this example, you can see that DJ avatar will give u a bonus of 280kcs. That is the boderline range. Below than that, it's not recommended to be use as your avatar.

    A balance stats can use any avatar and will still have a 280kcs bonus. There are pros and cons on having a balance stats or higher strength/intelligent stats. For the same stats, a balance stats can dance those with higher strength stats and fight those with higher intel stats. A higher strength can fight those with higher intel stats and balanced stats. For those higher intel, can dance those higher strength and balance stats.

    So.......
    Why settle for a lower cs bonus?
    Why not maximise the cs bonus that you can get?

    This is just a basic guide to choosing the right avatar based on its % bonus. I hope this helps. Just a 2 cents thought of mine. Peace ?
