Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Level 53 hit our devices last week, to the surprise of a few of us. And the all new level brought a whole lotta pink to Springfield! Level 53 marks the arrive of Malibu Stacy in town, with her HQ and creator Stacy Lovell arriving to our favorite tapping devices! Now I know you may be trying to decide if this is worth YOUR donuts, but don’t sweat it! We’re here to tell you what’s worth the donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Stacy Lovell to YOUR Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Pink HQ to YOUR Springfield!
Building/Decoration: Malibu Stacy HQ
Character: Stacy Lovell
Donut Price: 165 donuts
Earns: $200, 22xp/8hrs
Conform-O-Meter: Consumerism +10
Size: 4×10
Level Requirement: Must be at Level 53, unless offered Early Access when the update first hit
Pros:
-Comes with a quest line
-Premium character earns 50% more on all cash and xp than a freemium character
-The HQ will be used
-Stacy will also use her Dream House, if you purchase it.
Cons:
-No character interaction after questline
-Her outdoor tasks are ok, but they’re not great.
-Pricey
Final Thought:
Premium Take:
I like the combo, but it’s not my favorite. This is one I would pick up, but probably not until later down the road. I do think it’s a bit pricey for what it is/what it does, but it’s still fun. And it’s always nice to have another female in Springfield! Premium players I’d say this one should be on your list, but as a nice to have not a must buy.
Freemium Take:
As a freemium player…I think this combo is a bit overpriced. Freemium players you may want to add this one to your list, but I do think there are better character/building combos in this game to grab (like Akira, Coach K..even Luann). So as a freemium player I’d add this as my nice to have but not before these characters….
Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would/wouldn’t do…and I can tell you I will be purchasing Stacy eventually (probably when there’s a bit of a lull in the game and I want a questline to run). However, this is NOT a Limited-Time Item so take your time with your thought process. Stacy will still be there in a few weeks. So if you’re on the fence or worried about saving up your donuts relax..there’s no rush to get her.
