Verdict: the top price, but no 100-diamond choices
Max costs 629 diamonds, the most in Advent No. 3. Xander is next at 485, and Zane at 441. The good part: none of Max's choices goes above 96, so it's a lot of medium bills rather than a couple of huge ones. All 3 free steps are in Season 1.
Where the diamonds go
The route opens in Season 1, Episode 7 with "Only if you're not planning to hit on me." for 54. Episode 10 is the busiest: four steps, one free, plus "Keep it playful." and "Compliment Max." at 23 each and "Say I'm going with Max." for 50.
Season 2 takes 243:
- Episode 9: "Go over to Max." — 76.
- Episode 2: "Give Max a hug." — 63.
- Episode 6: "Max." — 53.
Season 3, Episode 7 has "Make him stay." for 34 and "Return Max's feelings." for 96.
How I'd play it
Pay Season 1 as you go: 225 diamonds over the whole season, nothing above 54. Then keep Max on a separate save slot and leave the 96 and the 76 for Diamond Rush. If you'd like to spend less, Zane costs 441 and the Chancellor 204.
