How the hell do some people get those ridiculous pulls with multiple ultra rares and super rares??

Oh and what's this shop menu with gold silver and red badges? do you trade in your unwanted idols for the ones you want?

I've gotten the Red Badges by feeding my dupe R idols to each other for skillups.

I assume SRs give Silver Badges and URs give Gold Badges.

I think you can then trade the Badges for Idols.

I have really good luck with gatcha games. And yeah, the seal shop is how Zepia described it. An idolized version will get you 2 seals, but promo cards don't give you anything. You can also buy tickets and idols with seals.

There are more love gems available in JP. There are more normals, and ranks up to 100 require half XP, so the full LP from rank up goes a lot further.

Man, I am loving how many EX songs are available in JP. It's great to have more than handful when grinding tokens. As an added bonus, songs that I'm now good enough to FC are coming back through the rotation faster, so I get a few loveca out of it.

Normal practice. Feed idol A idol B with the same exact skill as A with at least as high a level in it as A has, and it'll level up guaranteed. If B has a lower skill level, it has a chance to level up, but might not. You still get xp, of course.

Does that work for Leader Skills as well?

Most of the earlier songs (available to play E/N/H earlier, that is) have easier EX maps. In JP right now, I'd recommend Aishiteru Banzai as the easiest, or maybe Mermaid Festa Vol. 1. Cutie Panther or After School Navigators after those. In EN... oh, never mind.

I don't think I have the right to tackle Aishiteru Banzai or Mermaid when I can't even FC them on Hard.

Mogyutto is a really fun and simple EX chart.

Cutie Panther EX is way harder than it should be, to be honest. In the set mentioned, Aishiteru Banzai's the easiest, and Mermaid Festa Vol 1 is the hardest(or at least the hardest to combo). After School Navigator is a LOT of fun, if you're able to pass it.

There are 6 Nico heavy songs up on the JP EX list right now. Clearly the right choice is to play all of them.

Can confirm that Afterschool Navigators is a good EX chart to start on. Nico Puri, however, is not.

I took this advice and tried Afterschool Navigators and holy poo poo that was fun. I had to watch a video of it first on YouTube to get a grasp of what I would be getting into though.

Not gonna be getting any combos (not even C) anytime soon but that was a blast.

After School Navigators EX is probably the most fun track to play in the game.

I really really like the parts where it's just a matter of frantically hitting single notes.

My worst enemy is probably the ones where you press down for an extremely short amount of time, like the beginning of Wild Stars Hard.

The bars on the left and right of the machine sense where your hands are so you have to raise your hands on the green notes. Also lol at the star and (9) pattern sliders.

Here's a less memey song where you can see that it actually looks like a more advanced version of Starlight Stage (which in itself is an advanced version of IIDX, but I digress...)

My face twisted into a snooty grimace when I saw those slider patterns. Jesus christ Japan. When I go over there with my friends I HAVE to try (and naturally fail) at some of these rhythm games.
I do really want to play Sound Voltex, myself.

I just managed to get into the 100,000 zone in Starlight Stage somehow, so I'm almost certainly going to be squeezed out when it finishes in 2 hours. I got my 15,000 point second Yuko, anyway.

I mean, we were getting a steady stream of the main Derem@s cast image songs, so it was bound to be one of those since they hadn't been added yet.

Also I didn't know the name of her image song and I was too lazy to look up its title.

I usually slam this for some reason, but when I get it wrong it's because I try and that quick burst of 3 twice in a row instead of the double and it always gets a good. Dunno if that's helpful at all but that's all I got.
