Verdict: cheap start, expensive finish
Mads costs 793 diamonds, a single diamond less than Yasin. He's the easiest to start with: Season 1 is only 95 diamonds, and Season 2 is 235. Then Season 3 asks for 463, almost 60 percent of the whole route.
Where the diamonds go
The route begins in Season 1, Episode 1, Queen of the Moon: five steps in one episode, three of them free, plus "Cross your arms and stare back at him." for 22 and "Guess. Is it about this morning?" for 27. Season 1, Episode 7 adds 46.
Season 2 has "Why do you do that? Push me away?" for 54 in Episode 7 and "Okay. Come in." for 77 in Episode 10. "Kiss him." in Episode 5 is free.
Season 3 is the heavy part:
- Episode 3: a 150-diamond choice, next to "Love life…" for 30.
- Episode 10: a 157-diamond choice, the top price. The other three steps in that episode are free.
How I'd play it
Mads is the route where it pays to wait. I'd play Seasons 1 and 2 as they come, 330 diamonds in total, and keep Season 3, Episodes 3 and 10 on a separate save slot for Diamond Rush: that's 307 diamonds. Compare with Yasin or Kuno.
