Cost

Cost is a stat that each species of puppet has, viewable in-game from the Puppetdex. The value ranges from 80 to 120 and is loosely associated with how powerful the character and their associated puppet is. The most noticeable effect this has on gameplay is that higher cost puppets are worth more experience as enemies and take more experience to level up. A puppet with 120 cost will take more than double the experience to level as compared to an 80 cost puppet.

Equations

exp = n^3 * k;

Variables:
n = puppet level
k = coefficient based on cost

"k" Value:
Cost 80 : (tpdp=0.7, sod=0.85)
Cost 90 : (tpdp=0.85, sod=0.92)
Cost 100 : (tpdp=1, sod=1)
Cost 110 : (tpdp=1.15, sod=1.07)
Cost 120 : (tpdp=1.3, sod=1.15)

"The equation is for how many exp the puppet have on that level. If, for example, a Junko puppet is raised with Rainbow Candy only to Level 50, her exp total is 50^3 * 1.15. So the exp required to next level is ((51^3) - (50^3)) * 1.15"
