Cassiel: how to romance them in Astrea's Broken Heart

Verdict: mid-priced, plenty of free steps

Cassiel costs 519 diamonds, the middle of the five love interests in Astrea's Broken Heart: Raphael is 777, Malek 406. He has 6 free steps out of 14, tied with Raphael for the most. The cost is spread evenly, about 150 to 190 per season, with two big choices to plan.

Where the diamonds go

Season 1 has eight steps, five of them free. The paid ones are "All right, do it." for 71 in Episode 4, "Help him." for 56 in Episode 9, Dinner Is Served!, and "Cassiel." for 23 in Episode 10.

Season 2:

• Episode 6, Remember Death: "Hold him tighter." — 97.
• Episode 1: "Approach him." — 45.
• Episode 9, A Helping Hand: "Sit here." — 44.

Season 3 has two steps: "Invite him to stay the night." for 150 in Episode 3 and "Cassiel." for 33 in Episode 11.

How I'd play it

Pay Season 1 as you go. The 97 and the 150 are the two I'd save for Diamond Rush on separate slots; without them, the route is 272 diamonds out of pocket. Raphael has a 71-diamond step in the same Season 1, Episode 4, so save before it if you're torn. Compare with Mikael at 487.
