I try to charge every location and trophy more or less evenly while visiting my friends. For instance, I'll start at the left edge and charge the first 10 for the first person, then work my way toward the right with subsequent friends. I change it up so I don't charge the same rooms for the same person each time.

That way, I'll charge a wide variety of each friend's rooms over the course of a week, plus I get CIs from a wide variety of rooms. I don't know how CIs are triggered, but I suspect that doing the same rooms over and over would produce fewer CIs (or a smaller variety) than doing a wide variety of rooms.

Lee Exactly the same for me and after multiple trials of various charging methods this has systematically produced the highest yield of CIs for my time. One other tip...if a player has a zombie account I saved, for example, they upgraded a phone and had things transferred...I noticed on occasion the zombie account produced a CI from the same room as the played current account. Could just be coincidence but I am watching this more. I only have 3 or 4 players with second zombie accounts at the end of my play list.

Regarding trophy charging...the downside to only charging trophies is that the charges do not seem to stack like they do for the rooms. So if I charge your trophies, and then another friend does before you get to collecting your trophies you only get the current bonuses from the recent charger. Whereas if I charged a room or crafting station you get my charge and the onion layer peels giving you other charges from other friends (or previous days) that you have yet to use. So I maintain that charging rooms, puzzles, and crafting stations are still best overall but don't ignore trophies completely. Just the strategy that worked best for me. IF anyone knows that trophy charges stack...please enlighten.
