Have to agree with this Heli (see below) and Yuwailam's advice (regarding catfood). Been doing so for BCJP (new game), also doing the event stages may be harder on the 1st try, you can try event stages like for Awa-odori Cat or Vengeful Cat (if you can beat the 1st stage you, can use a cat treasure item to get 2 extra cats for 60 energy both 1st stage).

Or you can grind up a bit for EoC then try some SoL in between (recommended by mid EoC chapter 2 to late EoC chapter 3) some stages are risky, but the game is basically try and try until you succeed.

You'll get good in the long run. Also roll on guaranteed uber gachas especially when you like or you need a specific unit (it sometimes give you plenty of same color specialty cats, which is kinda RNG), and whenever possible log-in to the game everydays for the cat tickets and always check on gamatoto, it is basically free catfood sometimes with extra items.
