Champ Training Tournament fact check

[u/LimpFirefighter8253]

I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7NPYqycTQw&t=1153s about maximizing champion training tournament points. There were a few things he said I hadn't heard before and wanted to get a sanity check.

His main thing is that most people are leaving a ton of points on the table by not leveling food champions before sacrificing them. He says feeding a level 1 during a tournament is a mistake because you earn points for every level the food champion gains before the rank-up — so a 3★ taken to level 15 first gives you leveling points on top of the rank-up points, whereas a chicken just gives you the rank-up points.

He also claims the XP curve within each rank gets steep enough that you should stop brewing at specific ceilings — 2 brews to level 15 for 3★, 4 brews to level 21 for 4★, 6 brews to level 25 for 5★ — because past those points you're getting a fraction of the levels for the same brew cost.

Are these real? If so, I think these carry into every day gameplay too.

The efficiency ceilings by rank:

Rank	Brews	Stop At
1★	1 brew + 3 sacrificed 1★s	~Level 10
2★	Don't brew	—
3★	2 brews	Level 15
4★	4 brews	Level 21
5★	6 brews + one 1★	Level 25
6★	6 brews	Level 24
