Depends on how many Star Jewels you can accrue, probably through song rewards, since you're aiming for 2500 for the 10-draw if I'm not mistaken.
Just a warning that the guaranteed SR for the 10 card draw ends next week.

If you make a card into its + form you get a special communication that also gives starbits.

Buy those lockers (all three of them) and upgrade them asap. They print out those items you use to upgrade idols in to their + form.

Also, does anyone else only play in 2d-no effects mode? My phone isn't that good so it lags in 3D mode and it's distracting anyways.

The invite campaign is an easy way to get 250 star jewels for CGSS: http://ss.idolmaster.jp/campaign_top/
You get 250 star jewels and the person who invited you gets 50 (to a max of 250 for 5 invites).

Just input your ID (on your profile page in game) and the ID of someone else.


Here's my ID if you want to use it but I'll probably remove it if I hit the limit so you can help someone else:
Edit: I've hit the limit. Use the ID in the post below.

I wonder if they're going to keep the guaranteed SR for the 10 draw or discount it since there's no benefit otherwise.

Hopefully they'll give some benefit since I rerolled and got a SSR Mio so I won't be able to get that 2500 star jewels before the campaign ends this week.

Normal idols are level of fodder and you will be getting tons of multiples of them. You basically want to get rid of normals from your units asap and replace them with Rares and better which you feed with your normal idols.

e: is there a point to keeping the three initial girls you get at the beginning? Unless they end up becoming pretty good idols, I don't really care much about them besides Rin.
Yes because they're "rare" ranked cards and unless you're dumping a lot of money in to the game you won't have enough "rare" ranked and above cards to make 3 full teams of each type at the start.

Also for awakening, cards will always just become "[the original card]+" and will never turn into a different card. This means normals will always stay normal, rares will always stay rare, and super rares will always stay super rares no matter what.

By the way, girls will have multiple different cards and they are treated as separate entities. You can make up an entire team of the same girl as long as you use different cards with no doubles (ie: normal card + rare card + SR card + SR card with different name + SSR card).

Does speed apply a score multiplier or something? What's the benefit of boosting it up?
No matter the speed, the rhythm the notes have to hit at doesn't change. The speed is basically the speed it takes for a note to travel from the top of the screen to the bottom.

High speeds are more preferable for most people because it means less notes on screen at one time. This leads to less confusion and lets your reflexes and muscle memory do the work.

At slower speeds the notes linger on screen for a while and build up leading to scenes like this:

I believe by law the single draw rate has the have the same percentage as the multi-draw rate (in that the multi-draw has to be just the single draw done multiple times) after the Japanese government cracked down on Mobages a couple of years ago.

Here's hoping they implemented trading in Starlight Stage. I currently have 4 SSRs (Mio, Kirari, Kanako, Rin) that I don't really care for and would much rather have Uzuki, Miku, or Anzu.

Zettace

Yeah, the original Cinderella Girls mobage has trading which works pretty well. The thing is, stamina drinks became a form of currency in that game and most cards are traded for stamina drinks. With the stamina drink limit in Starlight Stage it'll only allow idol for idol trading which isn't that bad in my mind.

Now that the event's done, I can finally use stam to practice songs on Pro. I can manage my way through lvl 15 songs, though not well. Decided to try Let's Go Happy on Pro since "how bad could it be? 16 is only one more than 15" and promptly got smashed.
Stars mean nothing. I can clear a good chunk of master songs but We Are the Friends, which has a relatively low star ranking is still unbeatable for me.

Is it common to get SRs to drop from the caravan event? I've already received 4 SRs just from playing songs.

Edit: 10-pulled and only got fatty SR..
The non-rare caravan SR drops quite often. It's the main event SR that's a huge main in the rear end to get.


Kanako is cute from the virtue of not being a stick but is very dull personality wise (probably made worse since I can only hear her voice as Kyoko from Yuruyuri who has a very fun personality). I only kind of like her due to idol Stockholm syndrome from owning her Halloween card.

I'm already regretting following that gimmick guy on nico nico douga, someone needs to tell him you can stream for more than 30 minutes at a time. Unless maybe that's some kind of premium feature.


Niconico makes you jump through hoops to do broadcasts longer than 30 minutes. You have to reserve a time slot beforehand and you have to pay points every 30 minutes up to the max of 6 hours. If you forget to extend at the 30 minute mark you lose your slot and have to make a new reservation and time slots are limited depending on the time.

Points are either obtained through through real money or from viewers. Viewers can advertise your broadcast with real money or through the one free advertising ticket Premium users get per month. After a certain amount of advertising points, the broadcaster gets some points which they can use to extend broadcasts. This however means that unless they are a popular broadcast with many regular viewers, they can't extend their broadcasts for long periods of time without paying money out of their pocket.

Also, I think you have to be a Premium user to broadcast in the first place.

Mitsuboshi is my go to song for clearing on master. It's a fast song but it's also a really simple song so it's easier than most master songs in my opinion. I can regularly get an A rank and an occasional S rank while I have trouble even surviving most master songs.

Zettace
Nov 30, 2009
That's because the difficulty zigzags through different songs rather then increasing linearly. There are easy master songs and difficult master songs. This means the jump from Pro to master can be huge or be only a small jump in difficulty depending on the song.

On a vaguely related note, do the idolmaster girls change their hairstyles much? The Love Lives do it fairly often, and it is very good.
For the main cast it's pretty much only when they get new character designs (first vision to second and now to third).

i didn't even notice minami at first. that lacrosse stick/ her being a normal card threw me off. But after hearing her image song during the event it gave me some interest in her (cuz it is fun to play), and then i saw her cards. i mean idk if she is actually yandere, but she looks like it.


thirst

just looking at all of her cards on this wiki, she is looking at someone, and that someone is you. those eyes aren't happy or sad or excited, they are just looking at you.

I only remember Minami because someone on niconico took her audio skit from her cds and replaced all the "La" in Lacrosse with "Se" so you ended up with all references to ラクロス being replaced with セクロス. It was pretty funny.
