One For All: Gameplay thread

[BadBoy25]

Hibiki, Makoto and Yayoi bursting; Ami and Mami supporting. 19 memory appeals and the song was M@STERPIECE.
I really don't know why I can score so much with the dance team, the vocal quintet can score "just" 160k with 17 memory appeals (singing Destiny), but I can still make 4 bursts so I really can't understand this difference.

Who do you use to burst in the vocal team apart from Haruka and Chihaya and what happens if you use Yayoi instead?

And what were your idol's levels?

[BadBoy25]

My idols are all at level 35.
The vocal quintet has Chihaya, Haruka and Ritsuko bursting, Takane and Azusa supporting. I never tried Yayoi but even I think that she could make the difference. Otherwise it could be the song, maybe low bpm (M@STERPIECE) gives a lot more points during bursts. Today I'm going to do some experiments.

[BadBoy25]

Ok, time to report.

Hibiki, Makoto, Yayoi (bursting) + Ami, Mami. 19 memory appeals
song: M@STERPIECE
score: 225k

Hibiki, Makoto, Mami (bursting) + Yayoi, Ami. 19 memory appeals
song: M@STERPIECE
score: 184k

Hibiki, Makoto, Yayoi (bursting) + Ami, Mami. 19 memory appeals
song: Change
score: 174k

Chihaya, Haruka, Yayoi (bursting) + Takane, Ritsuko. 20 memory appeals
song: Destiny
score: 175k

As far I can say, low bpm=more points.

[Naryoril]

yeah, i get the feeling as well. But i also think it's easier to get 4 bursts off on a fast song since the bursts (where you can't regain voltage) don't take up so many appeals in percent.
I hope that was understandable :p

But of course, with that number of memory appeals that doesn't matter much. Basically you need 4 x 3 (to fill voltage 4 times) + 6 to 8 (bursting with Haruka or Yayoi doesn't do much on the last burst) memory appeals, so 18 to 20 to be able to burst 4 times on any song.

[BadBoy25]

I think that is the reason why low bpm songs give you more points. You can't do more than 4 bursts even with fast songs so 4 bursts with low bpm give you a lot more points than 4 burst with higher bpm. Sadly I forgot to check the burst points for each test I made.
Personally i fill the voltage with 4 memory apppeals only for the first burst ('cause normal appeals have very low multiplier right after the start), then I use 3 memory appeals + primary stat appeals for the other bursts.

[Naryoril]

i don't have that many memory appeals to do stuff like that, 3 appeals per burst have to be enough. I guess i should work on getting more memory appeals for different idols, so far i only have Yukiho with 5, Azusa, Chihaya and Takane with 4 and the rest with 3. But currently i'm working on the DLC which takes up about 2 and a half hours per idol because i'm still very slow at reading japanese.

Have you tried Ritsuko instead of Yayoi/Ami? I think her burst skill gives a crazy score boost. Interestingly the boost is much larger if it's a trio burst.

[BadBoy25]

No, I use Ritsuko in the vocal quintet. Maybe I'll try later.

i just beat the S2 all star live, with a score of 580k, but there is still potential for improvement: 1 more memory on my vocal team should add a few thousand, and a bunch of extra memory appeals on my dance team. Also, getting gold on the song i'm using for my vocal team would also add some points.

In that connection i finally found out what the song status actually does: it multiplies the stats bonus you get through the song (a gold song basically has twice as many stars)

[Naryoril]

Sorry for double post.

I finally beat every challenge currently in the game.

I can pull off 185k without risk on a 3 girl team: Yukiho, Azusa and Miki with a total of 14 memory appeals using Cosmos, Kosmos. With risk free i mean without relying on Azusa's burst. I reach this score by memory 3 times, burst with Yukiho immediately, memory 3 times, burst with Miki and Yukiho, memory 3 times, burst with Miki and Yukiho, memory 3 times and burst with Miki alone. Actually 13 memory appeals are enough for this and results in a score of about 182k by using only 2 memory appeals before the last burst.
If i gamble a bit i can reach 195k by bursting with all 3 idols at the first burst, but for this to work out in the end i need Azusa to give me back one more memory appeal than she uses over the course of the song so i can use 3 memory appeals before the 4th burst.
Of course, with this score (the risk free one) S1 auditions, lives and festivals are no issue.

And i got 245k to beat the S3 quintet live using M@sterpiece with Hibiki, Makoto, Yayoi (bursting) and Yukiho and Azusa (for their memory appeals) with a total of 19 memory appeals. To be able to pull off 4 bursts on M@sterpiece and do 3 trio bursts (the last one is a solo burst from Hibiki) you need to use 4 memory appeals to fill the voltage bar once a fast as possible, preferably the first time which means you need 19 memory appeals.

My current record for an All Star Live is 610k, and especially the vocal team has a lot of extra scoring potential, but i'd need at least 3, probably 4, more memory appeals since i can only burst 3 times with them atm.

All my idols are lvl 40 now.
I hope they add some more challenges with the upcoming catalogs, since i guess they will increase the max level and max idol rank as well.

Yep. Probably to counter that it's solo only.

[Naryoril]

I have Saihyou on gold.

Thx
I want to get Ano hi no namida and saiyou to gold, but i still didn't get a break yet even though i spent quite some time with ano hi no namida, seems i was just unlucky.
Thx again
