Guided Fate Paradox - how to grind on shop guards (part 1 of 2: introduction and preparation)
The fastest way to get GP in Guided Fate Paradox is a method you've likely overlooked or never knew existed - destroying shop guards. Sure floor 100 and beyond of EX advanced are excellent for GP, it takes so long to get that far in that it's not worth it, let alone dangerous enemies (medusa or triceramunch anyone?). Shop guards are more dependable (though chance-based, the odds are good) and it only takes 20 minutes to obtain 20+ million GP... or 300+ million GP once you find a qualifying shop. Shop guards may be too strong at first, but you can start with even just level 1 equipment (level 4 for advanced). It won't be through advanced martial arts like I can (needing 3 million DEF, 3.16 million for invincibility), it'll be with intermediate (needing 379K DEF, 400K for invincibility). Be sure to max the enemy boosting - you gain more GP and level up faster.
For predictability, I assume all burst equipment. If needed, max 2 large equipment boosters (head up L and leg up L are the 2 best, provided they target ATK, DEF, and HIT in any amount) at 250%. This gives an extra 5000-7000 DEF, depending on icons, for level 1 which lowers the minimum required level to only 111 (at 7500 DEF). The sooner you can get DEF to the minimum threshold, the better, to a certain point as HIT then ATK are also important.
The angel can't have ranged skills or skills that will move the angel during the main grind, but can before then. Bring extra equipment as needed.
Renya's divinigram should have as few mods as possible, to maximize stat growth. Get the DEF icon bonus to at least 800, ATK to at least 150, and HIT to at least 300 though HIT should be 50 to 120% higher than ATK. SPD must be 0. Renya's mods should be as follows: ATK, DEF, and HIT booster, eco-friendly and chakra (for stage 1), grounded, and vital gain (so EN doesn't interfere). The angel must have all 6 energy sources directed to exp booster. Vital gain is also a must. Everything else is up to you. By having the angel with maxed exp boosting, you can accelerate the leveling up - just let the angel do all the work.
When finished preparing, enter intermediate or advanced martial arts (whichever is appropriate for your DEF), and make the angel do all the work, throwing enemies or the angel as needed. Past floor 10, zombies appear. Have the angel stay put adjacent to zombie skulls, and lure any others with Renya to the angel, fast forwarding when no enemies remain to rapidly level up, going until the divine wind strikes.
Once you find a shop, check to see if it has more than 1 entrance. If it does, check to see if the shop owner is not adjacent to one of the entrances and at least 3 panels from the other. If it does, check to see if the entrances are at least 4 panels apart. If all 3 conditions are true, you've found a qualifying shop. If not, you'll only be limited to the slow stage 1 that can be used to at least get a boost for later.
