I don't put charms on any of my seal stones once I've completed it for the daemon. My team is tough to beat, but if you want to go for it, feel free. I've got plenty of silver to supplement any major loses. I'm a lvl 63 and def is over 54K (this doesn't include skill activations). I'm stacked on Kyu stones,and I've also got Kiri and Hare of Inaba stones. I think there might be two charms left on the two Suzuka stones I have from back when I was battling for her, so don't go for any of those. I don't know how this works, but I'd be happy to help any of you! Even if I'm a worthless, no good cash-player... :)

FYI, The trick to battling is to get it done in one fail swoop, so if your a free player, hoard your SPs and charms, then set aside a solid chunk of time to battle. If you're a cash player, spend your money on SPs and at least three charms.


 * For those of you battlling for Lady Suzuka, this is what I did to get her:

1.  I identified the stones most targeted (blue and purple), and I battled for them last. Once I got the blue stone, I put a charm on it and set to work on the purple. Sure enough, while I was batlling for the purple stone, a lvl 68 tried to take the blue and activated the charm. Luckily I got the purple stone before another player came along.

2.  Don't lvl up when you're battling for stones. I don't know if this is correct, but I've noticed that I'm usually targeted for stones/battles shortly after I've lvl'd up.

3.  Save your crew back up for the most difficult stone, and make sure you pick the crewmate that will benefit your team the most. I even had to remove a crew member so I could replace them with one who had Ohina. She helped me get Suzuka's purple stone in the end.

Hope this helps!
