My teams must be so weak. I play hard songs for the event and just get rekt. I can FC a song and still get third by like 9k points. I know I don't have the best girls yet but jesus lol

Either that or there's some secret I don't know

I was about to make an effort post explaining how score match works, but it's much easier to just link a video of it that will explain better than I could.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJk_FKvsWgA

Basically, you'll be matched based on the scores of your last 4 songs played on that difficulty against opponents within a range of -20% to +20% of your average scores. So you can sometimes be matched up against 3 other people that you will have no hope of beating. And sometimes you're matched up against 3 people that have no hope of beating you.

Don't worry too much about placement until you have a team of every attribute that can S rank score the songs on the difficulty you want to play. That's pretty much the best thing you can have for any event. I think I just ended up writing an effort post even after linking the video.

Much appreciated. I stopped caring after it happened a few times and figured something like this was the case. I'll just keep grinding away at the event. Hopefully I can stick to my schedule of 5 plays per day but we'll see. Also holy hell some people already have 15k event points.

To spend 50 love gems on BiBi scouting or just regular scouting.... these are the questions of my Saturday nights.

So I finally decided on the BiBi pull. I really wish I would have screenshot it but I was too busy laughing at my luck. 10 R's and the 1 SR you always get for spending 50 gems. Thanks game. I didn't want more than 1 upgrade anyways. At least I got to max level the abilities on a couple idolized members and got to idolize a couple too. Couldn't really have been much worse though.

Also I'm at just over 16k points in the event right now. Anyone who grinds out the event know whether I'm doing alright or whether I'm going to need to start burning some love gems to make sure I get to the threshold?

The first play of the morning is easily the worst for me. All hopes of FC's are usually dead as I am basically useless before 10am. That SR Eli is so close though...

I'm just over 21k points in the EN event right now as I head to bed. Looks like I'm going to have to burn some gems to get Eli.

Should get some for each girl. Cause they'll be needed eventually.

Also when you refer to getting t1 or t2 in an event, is there another cutoff of points or are you just referring to doubling up the SR reward points so you can idolize?

drat Nico Puri is something else on EX. Maybe I'm just rusty from the score match lol.

Also do you Practice or Special Practice to level up the abilities on the idolized girls?

Created my Japanese love live account on Sunday and was able to grind out 150 love gems and 5 blue tickets and all I got was 5 super rares :negative:
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?

drat that's a lot of love gems in 4 days. I clearly suck at this game.

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

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.

I continue to burn 25 LP in the wind as I learn EX charts. Honestly I could pass them so much easier if the jump in note speed wasn't so drastic.

Same as Score Match, 25k. But it's a bit easier to get there by spending some gold. The bonus for S combo is a 1.08 multiplier while the bonus you can buy with gold is a 1.10 multiplier.

You can get a MedFes card flailing around with no combo Expert songs and get to 25k faster than FC'ing every song on Hard in a Score Match.

Oh really? I had dropped to hard specifically so I could FC everything rather than deal with my scrub-tier B combos on expert songs. It's actually better to do the expert ones and spend some G to make up for the lack of score?

So that did start today. Also the only UR I will have is this free Maki for logging in 5 days in a row. I've been playing for a number of months and have done multiple 11 pulls. I think I still even have only 5 SR's.

Edit: Oh my god that Angel Nico is adorable. I don't think I have the chops to tier this though. Not even if I spend all.... *checks*.... 70 of my love gems.

Hmm I wonder if I could idolize Nico if I exclusively played the event song on Hard. I should be able to, at worst, A rank/A combo (sometimes you just miss one). The better question is, how many love gems is that gonna take; I'm thinking 1 gem per play session (2 EX songs + 1 event song). Only having 54 lp makes it pretty tough to go HAM like that.

ChubbyThePhat
Dec 22, 2006

Yeah I'll probably just get Dr. Nico and call it a day. SR points scores aren't too hard to come across with 54 lp. Just can't let it sit too long otherwise you gotta burn like 1 gem at the end.
