Jesus... what an awesome pull!

Are there any good ways of getting love gems besides buying them or hoping maintenance goes awry?

Awesome, thank you!

I've only been playing for a couple of weeks, what are daily songs?

If you're a thumbs player, I'd advise retraining yourself to use your fingers.

I started out with fingers but moved to thumbs because it was more comfortable to hold the phone.

How many fingers do you use? I figured the button placement was to encourage you to use four fingers on either side.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I'm not sure how long this game has been out, but do you know if the Halloween costume SRs were from an event? If so, do they re-run holiday events like that?

In addition to the event running in SIF, there also seems to be something special going on with scouting tomorrow. The text says something to the effect of an SR member or above being guaranteed every time you do an 11 pack.

However, it also says only specific members are available during this period but when I looked at the list it seemed to be the same world-wide list you always scout from, so...

Yeah, the animal SRs, while cute, are the weakest SRs. Go for it only if you already have some of the featured cards and are looking to idolize.

God dammit. I wish I'd known. I've been saving up my gems and was really hoping to get the Nozomi UR.

I got this instead.



Since this is my only SR and my strongest card she's on every loving team. The effect goes off all the god drat time, which is cool, but I have to deal with THAT sliding across my screen at regular intervals.

Being that I'm total trash, I ended up staying up till 2am last night trying to get that loving Umi card from the event.

I got the loving Umi card for a grand total of two SRs, but now I'm chugging cheap lovely coffee and trying to stay awake through some sort of meeting or another.

I really wish you could just play loveca and buy certain cards. I'd love to get the Halloween Nozomi, but gently caress. In five 50 gem pulls I've managed to only ever get SRs because of the guarantee, so I can only imagine how much it would take to just get a whatever percentage chance that you might get one of several URs on offer.

I say this, and yet I can't stand games that let you buy your way to success. Apparently I've got a bad case of the waifus.

I want to say that it took me at least ten 10+1s to get my first non-welfare UR. Still a 1% chance to pull at all.
Still a bit luckier than a couple of my friends on another forum who had been playing since launch and took at least a year and change each to draw their first UR.

I'm curious if they use the same seed for the RNG when you do a 10 pull. If so, you'd have a more actually random chance by doing one draw at a time.

so is it possible to get rin if I'm literally not good enough to beat hard mode without burning a love gem

I don't think so. Even after I got to the point where I was getting S ranks on the hards I still had to burn a few gems refilling my LPs to get Rice Queen Hanayo.

I'm probably not even going to get the Run card from the current EN event.

Me either and I don't feel like pushing it. For some reason, all of my SRs lately have been either Rin or Hanayo. I just counted and over half of my SRs are Rin or Hanayo.

Also, I finally pulled my first UR... while checking out the one scouting ticket supporting members thing. I got Honoka's mom... who I apparently need yet another UR to actually use. Thanks SIF.

Consider: if you regular pull, you might get Hanayo, while a BiBi pull increases your chances of being blessed with Nico.

Hanayo ain't so bad. I also refuse to consider that I may have some form of waifu Stockholm Syndrome due to the number of SR Hanayo cards I've been blessed with.

SR Eli get. I spent one love gem this morning because I wasn't sure, but turned out I didn't have to. Also did not have to wake up at 3am to play. We did it boom :hfive:

Same. I ended up spending one gem a couple of days ago because I was right on the cusp of another level and managed to get 9 hard and 3 normal plays all at once. Turns out I didn't need to do it, but hey, that 750 extra friend points were nice.

Since the next event is a Nozomi event, I seriously have to consider dropping some gems and seeing if I can actually tier.

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?

My friend is a thumbs only player who's FC'd most if not all of the EX songs. However, she's got a tiny iphone and super tiny thumbs so that might have something to do with it.

My pure team has a couple of SRs but is otherwise Rs which makes it really hard to get S rank on some of the pure B-side songs. One of the many reasons I'm glad this event is a Nozomi event.

Time.

I've been playing since early August and I'm rank 69. The only reason I have any amount of SRs is because I put a lot of effort in to idolizing the N girls and farming them for love stones. Plus, I got drunk one night and bought an 11 pull.

I'm a bit confused on MedFest. So, after you get your songs done and the letter grades flip over, are the bronze, silver, and gold awards representative of the girl on the other side? If a gold award turns up, will there be a better level character attached?

Also, are they random? I got an S for score and it still turned over a bronze award. I figured the award was tied to the letter grade.
