Can you help me understand F4

[sillyspiffysnifflesmirk]

OK I know now that you can F4 to escape a battle (as a last resort) but can't find anything about the 'saving merits' that I read about here. It has just taken me ages to get my 5500 merits for MH level 15. If I F4 after beating the VP with 680 merits do I keep them to count towards the 890 I need next time as well as get my reward? If so when do I do it?.............or is that all too easy?

If you Alt/F4 at the end of a VP battle before the dance begins, all it will do is enable you to return to the VP without a promotion in your suit level (or suit) or laff boost if in the HW 14/19/29/39/49 sequence. Hence, you will not get your promotion nor would you get your reward (SOS card and laff boost). If you Alt/F4 during the dance, you will receive your reward and your promo.

You don't keep your last merits anyway. You have to do it all over again otherwise it would be too easy, people would max in a week.

Someone would altf4 out so that they wouldn't, for example, max the toon yet - maybe they are waiting for a friend to catch up with them or something. This way they can help with the runs, etc, but still wait for their friend.
