Thank you for you help Naryoril and Daverost. I really appreciate it.

I think you meant pick the "left" answer if you want the opportunity to buy the amulets.
And also, what did you mean when you said 2/2/6 burst pattern?
--- Quote from: Daverost on June 14, 2012, 01:14:01 pm ---If you don't have an amulet, it's trickier. I guess you can try to maintain your multiplier, but that's not easy to do. Honestly, for your first game, through, I'd recommend balancing all stats and picking up the three decay rate amulets. This minimizes point loss until you can focus on two stats, which you should do from every game after that. If you're balancing all three, just appeal in order. I wouldn't bother bursting for a while.
2) As stated, it's for amulets. I wouldn't bother with these until the second half, when your schedule tends to be a lot more open since you don't have lessons to worry about. You'll probably be running a lot of performances for money at that point anyway, so just look out for the ones that have the amulets you need. (You'll want the three decay rate amulets and at least one of the two voltage increasing amulets, if not both.)

However, don't many people recommend raising two stats instead all three of them? Is there enough time in the game to raise all three stats? Or do the stats carry over in the next playthrough?
For the amulets, you can only equip one amulet, right? So, in what concerts would a Decay amulet and a Voltage increasing amulet be useful?

Let's see if I remember things correctly.
First off, different characters give different patterns when they Burst. For example, I think Chihaya gives 6 Vocal, 2 Visual, and 2 Dance. Furthermore, your score while Bursting is dependant only on your Danketsu, and not your stats.
So, basically the two-stat strategy is tank whatever stat you get the most of during a Burst, pump the other two, and make sure you equip a charm that has those decay the least. Your non-Burst appeals will feed the stat you tanked, which you won't use much until you Burst, when it doesn't matter how much you've ignored or pumped it.

You don't have to raise stats to cap. Level 15 or 16 for your ranking is enough. Only do it for your first game, though. Go for two stats once you can manage your multipliers better in future games. You can't expect to apply standard game tactics to your first run. You're not set up for it. Read through the beginner guide on the strategy site for some ideas on how to handle your first run.

For amulets, use voltage amulets for high level festivals and decay amulets for everything else.

Ok, in this context my word choice was horrible. I meant "right" as in "correct".
If you already have a multipier decay rate amulet, then you can go with 2 stats. Personally i tried to get a decay rate amulet as fast as possible on my first playthrough and then went for 2 stats.
mariokirby:
The Beginner's Guide says to raise all three stats in the first half of the game. My question is: If I'm going to obtain the Decay Amulet on my First Playthrough anyways, then wouldn't it be better to just raise two stats? Then that way by the time I obtain the Decay Amulet, I would already have gotten a head start since I've been increasing the two stats from the beginning. I'm not sure if that is correct.
