geeze, i wonder what i did wrong to not find such an easy formula (for the group lives), although you made a small mistake: you mixed up the ex clear factor of solos and group lives


Ex clearing the S rank quintet  Re:ライブマスター which has a base fan value of 15750 while not wearing any fan boosts got my leader 17325 fans, which is 15750 * 1.1
Ex clearing the special SP quintet バレンタインライブ which also has a base fan value of 15750 while wearing a costume with 30% fan and no money bonus got my leader 22522 fans, which is 15750 * 1.1 * 1.3, i also got 6750 (base) * 1.1 (ex clear bonus) = 7425 money

On the other hand, solo lives have an ex clear bonus of 1.15, the solo bonus also seems to be 1.15
Ex clearing the A rank solo live レジェンドソングライブ　which has a base fan value of 10725 while not wearing any fan or money boost got me 10725 * 1.15 * 1.15 = 14183 fans and 7410 (base) * 1.15 (ex clear bonus) = 8521 money.


that different ex clear factor probably is the reason why i couldn't find the correct group live formula. i made my first tests for finding the formula on solo lives for simplicity and found an ex clear factor of 1.15. From there i automatically assumed that the ex clear factor is the same for group lives, and always calculated with this. No wonder i couldn't find a formula that made sense.

My numbers were from some s-ranked solo live with cute-kirakira costume (34k to ex clear) and dl-live 2. Haven't tested it much, cause, well, +\- 50% fans doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, if you are sure in your numbers, then it seems like it doesn't matter if it's a solo or a group live.
Looks like you get x1.1 and x1.1 bonuses for any S-ranked live and just x1.15 for anything that's not from S-rank tab like DL or SP or A-rank tabs.

Once you clear your first EX Live you'll be able to get MASTER difficulty for songs once you use them on PRO afterwards.

Idk what the first one is saying (I can give you a translation when I'm off my phone) but the second one is telling you your selected outfit doesn't match the live type. I don't have the game but from what I can tell if they don't match you get penalties in your score.

The first is asking if you want to use the current coordinate, as opposed to cancelling the changes you made and using the previous setup. It's just confirmation.

Luckily, I was able to get away with not needing Master difficulty and Ex every single live in the game with Pro even the solo ones.  Of course, you need to plan yourself with the best coordination of outfits/accessories, maxing your burst/omoide stats, and having a level 10 fast song.  Plus, S-rank DL live costumes are pretty useful with their more hearts and perfect combo bonus.

There was one live where I did use Master difficulty (but I bought the target support z item from someone's advice to help me out with the perfect combo).  Remember, it's a consumable item so you have to buy multiple if you want to keep using it.  Though, if I grinded the burst level for my 3rd member I may not have needed Master difficulty.  But, point is you can use Master difficulty + target support z as back up if there's a live that's giving you a lot of trouble and you're so close winning.

EDIT:
Just to update my progress, I got S-rank both Chihaya and Miki and got them 5 hearts (Haruka is almost at 5 hearts).  I also Ex all lives even the DL lives, All Star, and solo lives (Chihaya and Miki for now).  (I'll confess, I did buy a few DLC money to help me out a little since 10 million fans per idol takes awhile.)

DL Live, surprised nobody posted it before me.

It was obviously going to be Kyun! Vampire Girl. Passion Vampiress is pretty cool, but why isn't the top hat an accessory?!

I have found a song glitch before you start a live

I think the way that works is if you have a quintet group performing the first song. The game has to select a song that has a quintet option, and it stays even if you switch to trio/duo/solo. Good for grinding songs though.

Yep, you can even set all three to the same song, but you can do that only with the first quintet song you chose at the start of the game, so it's kinda useless. https://puu.sh/qB8N8.jpg
