<i>Maxed Noire's Lily Rank with everyone. "I finally have a legion of friends!"</i>
In order to earn <b>ALL</b> Lily Rank related trophies, you must max out everyone's "Lily Rank" to 100. There are 5 ranks:
- Rank 0
- Rank 25
- Rank 45
- Rank 70
- Rank 100
You must do this with every character, 22 times. However, every time that you complete a specific character's Lily Rank with everyone, you won't have to worry about having to max out that character's Lily Rank again. The more characters that you complete, the smaller the list gets, making it faster every time. Because of this, I highly recommend to save Vert, Lid, and Wyn for last. The reason is because all three of these characters don't have a buff move at all, making it difficult to farm lily rank points.
The only way that you can build up your lily ranks, is by "pecking" other characters. Every time that you peck each other, you'll gain 1 lily rank point. You can also farm lily rank points just by using enhancement skills on each other to speed up the process. Before I explain on how to boost your lily ranks, I highly recommend that you disable the pecking animation by turning on the "Skip Lily Boosts" option. While doing this, you should also turn Skip Effects, Double Speed, and Quick Move to ON. By turning all of these options ON, it will make battles much faster. You can find these options from the "Battles 2" tab in the "Config" menu under "System".
(the image above shows exactly how you're going to position your 5 characters).
When you're boosting your lily ranks with specific characters, you will want to do it with 5 characters. This is because you can only peck up to 4 characters at a time. The "Hunt the Odd Dogoos!" mission is a great level to boost lily ranks because it's a small level, and the enemies can be defeated in a single hit. After selecting the level and the 5 characters that you want to boost your lily ranks with, kill all of the enemies but 1 so the Enemy Phase can be much quicker. Once you're ready to boost your lily ranks, always have the character that you're working on in the center of the circle. Not only will you boost your ranks with 4 other characters, but you will also reduce your SP costs, making your SP last longer. Once you start running out of SP, you can either use Items that recover a unit's SP, or kill the final enemy to complete the mission. Keep repeating this method until you've maxed out all of your lily ranks with the other 21 characters. Also, bear in mind that Little Rain's leader skill gives auto regen to everyone. While this is in effect, you will see the animation every time, making it longer of a grind. Also, avoid using her SP. Move if possible because it also adds auto regen.
The real issue is that you must do this 21 more times, making it a very tedious grind. However, it becomes much faster after completing a whole set with a character. Also bear in mind that you can actually keep track of your lily rank progress by going to the "Menu" (
), followed by "Library", and selecting "Lily Ranks". This is extremely helpful because you can keep track of when you're finished maxing out lily ranks with all of your characters. You can also view the menu while in a battle. Using your LP (Lily Points) for Sp. Moves or activating to your HDD form does <b>NOT</b> affect your lily ranks, so use it freely.
