Hello! This is a walkthrough of statting a groupie and stuff. It can actually be used for non groupies too so don't let that stop you from reading!

Statting a groupie is what I call a labor of love and dedication. You're starting from the ground up so it's a challenge. More importantly it's very tedious and can make a person pixel broke fast if they're not prepared. Worth it though I promise! Hopefully with this thread more G1's will be higher statted.

I got curious and did a search. Found out that as of 6/11/23 there are only 5 G1 kings that are 8k+ stats. Let that sink in for a minute. The selection of available G1 kings also affects muties like Dorsal Fur , Smilus , Felis, and Ferus. Those mutations don't come in G1. There's no MoD for them either. To introduce new blood into the community G1 kings are important. High stats help you in battle but we'll go more into detail of why later.

I know there's various statting guides with items you can use and stuff but I've yet to see a guide that goes into a lot of detail for one of many ways to go about actually doing it. I occasionally watch chat and i see folks just getting into statting asking various questions sometimes. That gave me the idea of this. It actually reminded me of when I first got interested in stats. Most of this is from me going back to that time and remembering my own first experience and what I wish I knew. For this i'm using my time with Symphonic Melody as well as what I've observed from others. You can use this thread to help plan your own way to high stats. ^_^

I originally got him back in 2019. Didn't really have a big desire to stat him up so I only casually patrolled him. Took a sudden hiatus late that year and returned January 2023. I picked up a interest in statting so this turned into my very first serious attempt. I hit the gas so to speak on patrolling. In 2023 he did a average 16-18 patrols a rollover. I limited my roll days to where I was able to patrol him that often. I suggest you do the same if you're wanting to patrol that much. It'll take longer to finish but it'll be worth it in the end.

This walkthrough goes over the following topics
- lifetime
- Patrolling stage
- Kinged Stage
- Heir time!
- studding
- Items to stock up on
- Making Currency
- Game plan
- Words of encouragement

Before starting you'll find it easier if you have 2 accounts: a "main" and a "side". if you'll be limiting your rollovers I suggest making that account your "side" since you won't use it as often as the other account. If you're new to Lioden you're allowed to have 2. It's greatly encouraged actually so you're safe!

Before jumping into some serious statting it's recommended to test the waters a bit first. That way you know it's a commitment you want to make. Start off with a G2 cub with 1-2k stats. Once kinged it'll give you a good starting point and the cubs will still have fair stats. (Not much can top the feeling of driving down a road going 80mph then suddenly having to stop. Doing a not so serious trial run helps to prevent that.)

Burnout is your biggest enemy. For a full tryhard statter you're going to be spending a lot of your focus on your lion when its rolled. Rollling irregularly helps with life balances and gives time to prep at your own pace.

Love your king. With a full lifespan your king will probably live for multiple real life years. Outside of applicator traits, you're stuck with his looks for the duration of your statter's life. It's recomended to have a king live a full term as a non-statter before making the commitment to ensure you're happy with his looks as well as his average cub output. (Take some time to do a little mass breeding that way you get a better idea of what the cubs could look like. If the cubs appearance turn out unfavorable you still have the chance to pick a different look for your future statter. Don't think about what's popular or anything. Think about what you like since nobody will be looking at him more than you.)
