Is there an optimum way to level up idols like this? Like, would mashing multiple identical idols together into a higher star idol make for better fodder or does it not matter?

Is there a point to doing the 10 pull over the single pull like you get some increased odds or something?

Also, how does the awakening system work? I mean I get how to do it, but how does it determine which version of the idol you unlock next? When I look at their wiki page they all have a bunch of different cards with no indicator of what goes into what. Is it always a set determined path or are awakening results sometimes random?

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.

10 pull just has one guaranteed SR no matter what.

The Cinderella Girls wiki is not going to help you because the card images are for the main CG game and thus irrelevant. So you will always go from an R to an R+ and whatever. Mind, SS does reuse a lot of the main CG cards but its a linear thing and the wiki arranged them in pairs anyway.

No. They're fodder Rs you can get normally.

Is there a site that shows that kind of stuff + what the center skills do?

Regular. The center skills all seem to be 'all [my type] idols [stat] up' where stat is one of vocal/dance/visual/life/skill chance.

So when I'm leveling up my skills through tickets and whatnot, when it says I boosted my skill from 1 to 2, does that mean I went from low to medium according to that graph or are there subdivisions within the low, medium, high levels?

Is there a translated list of all the mission requirements? I'm stuck on mission eight where you're supposed to apparently do the rock song on debut I think? I don't know.

Futaba Anzu
May 6, 2011

GROSS BOY

Polsy posted:

The missions are all do whichever song was the previous one you unlocked, on Debut or higher, plus there's a level requirement. I don't remember what it was for 8 but if you go to the communication for it (コミュ, ストーリーコミュ) and tap the grey mission it'll have the required level in the pink text above the song.

Oh, so that "19" is the level requirement. Okay, I'm right on the cusp of that, thanks.

Also I just got enough for a 10 pull today, here's my catch:
  • Kaede, aka Meme chan
  • Discount Kuroneko
  • Ema Senzaki
  • Kirari Moroboshi
  • Ayame Hamaguchi
  • S Rare Meme chan
  • Mika Jougasaki
  • S Rare Zombie (Halloween var.)
  • Uzuki
  • S Rare Karen Hojo

So I got like two S Rares that I was looking forward to in some way, that's pretty nice. I already have a fully maxed regular Kaede on my roster, is there any point to keeping her or should I mash her and the extra Kaede I got in this pull into the S Rare version?

e: I guess now's a good enough time to start making specialized teams. Would it be better to stick one of my already maxed idols in the center even if they aren't S Rare or should I put the fresh S Rares in the middle? Unless the S Rares tend to just overall tend to have stronger center skills anyways?

So through a series of "poor life choices" I have managed to do another two 10-pulls, of which the results are:



The Kaede and Koume are exact copies of the ones I got in my first 10-pull, so though I'll be leveling them up for my support cast, they're eventually getting folded for star level. So in essence, only 1 unique s-rare out of 2 pulls...

e: also it's kinda weird how I've managed to pull the first srare displayed on the wiki every time. Is that intended or something or?

Yosuke posted:

Yes, because the wiki arranges the Cinderella Girls cards in original release order, and Starlight Stage is reusing the cards from that game as I've mentioned before., and of which they have selected the first cards they released for the idols. Not all of the cards displayed on project-imas or most other wikis for CG have been put in SS.

The only things with "new" art are the SSRs.

Ohh, I didn't get that the first time I read your post.

Yeah, SRs that I already got two clones of instead of getting brand new SRs.

e: oh wait, you were just using my post as an example, sorry about that.

ee: to add onto what he said, SSR idols have a border color of their corresponding type. This has the unintended effect of making SSR passion idols kind of hard to tell compared to regular SRs.

Pretty safe to say if your (and my) total score is in the same range as the daily increase at 20,000th place (per https://twitter.com/deresute_border) you're not doing that great in event terms. There's going to be a huge tail of low-scoring people at the bottom end who aren't really trying to play the event at all, they're just playing casually and picking up points naturally.

There's a sizable population of players who choose to stockpile all their points until the last few days when 4x point gain opens up so that they can just get all their plays done in one lump.

Getting pretty sick of this game constantly giving me clone SRs instead of new ones so my team hardly grows:

I really appreciate the new update for SS and the fact that we have a speed option before playing. Some of the Master charts were so scrunched together it was hard to read proper. I wish Love Live would get something like this, even if it's just the JP version for now, because it'd make songs like Kokuhaku Biyori EX a tad easier.

The speed options were always there, this update just pulls up the menu for them automatically every time now.
