THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Stars Gameplay Thread

[Nakiame]

what's the stat for the costume

Its Cool / Trickster type S-rank
Appeal 168
Hearts + 3
Trio Burst III
Chain combo 4000
Burst +40

How do one get master for a song?
Getting a perfect on every notes in a song or just keep using it?

You have to beat Extreme Live with any of you girls once.
After it you can unlock master by clearing live on pro.

[Reikuo]

I just did this with Happy! level 10 on pro.
Chihaya level 60(leader with 5 hearts)
20/20
Miki level 53
17/20
Hibiki level 49
15/14
I just used my highest appeal items with two of them using the abilities ドライブデュオ (Drive Duo) and ドライブトリオ (Drive Trio)

[Yukibro]

So based on what you guys posted, seems like the minimum for this event is:

- 4-5 hearts on your leader, preferably max Burst and Omoide and >= Level 50
- Two other members around level 50, with at least 15 Burst and Omoide
- Good accessories, especially ones with Drive Duo/Trio, Combo Ups
- A song at Rank 10

I'm currently in the grind to make it up to this, so I'm hoping for good results.

Ok I need some advice on how to level up quick so I can beat this DL live. I thought I was doing fine in this game until the DL live came along. 

Kiramekirari is Rank 4 while I have Happy! at Rank 9. Miracle Night is at Rank 10 and is scoring around 47,000 (though weird thing is I've lost the rhythm for the song and can now barely play it when I used to be able to do a complete perfect chain on Master). Kiramekirari is scoring around 43,000 at a Chain Complete while Happy! is scoring around 47,100 (with that Chain Boost Z thing you can buy). I'm most likely going to have to use Happy! since leveling up Kiramekirari is going to take too long without magazines, have none left anyway. (All played on Master.)

For the outfit I have the following set:

The outfit you get after the second DL live @ Lv. 2
テイタニアへツドドレス (the flower headset) Rank A Lv. 1
(Sorry don't know the name of the necklace) It's the necklace with the crescent moon on it Rank B Lv. 4
エンプレスブレス (empress bracelet I think) Rank A Lv. 1
Twilight anklet (トワイライトアンクレット) Rank B Lv. 3

My idols are:

Hibiki
4 Hearts
Level 51
Rank A (literally just got her there today)
Burst Rank 15
Omoide Rank 15

Mami
4 Hearts
Level 46
Rank B
Burst Rank 15
Omoide Rank 15

Makoto
4 Hearts Level 46
Rank B
Burst Rank 15
Omoide Rank 15


So what should I do to level them up quickly? (Just going to have to pay for a shitload of lessons to get the Omoide and Burst ranks up if need be. And I suck at the EXP lesson unfortunately.) And is the outfit set I'm using good enough or should I use something different?

The posts above kind of already answer this question. At that level all you can really do is gather more burst or perfect chain master songs. Spend all your current funds on training and make sure you have the Drive Duo/Trio abilities. The 5th heart added about 5k to my score with the duo ability, essential in my clear and my idols stats had been posted a bit above.

[Hinatax01]

I have three quick questions

1)  For the "scratch" notes, is there any specific timing to them?  Sometimes I get a pink highlight on the stream of music notes coming out of it and sometimes I don't (might be linked to skills?)

2)  Is there a way to change what the notes look like?  I find I can't easily tell the Triangle and the up arrow apart.

3)  Does getting an Extreme clear give you more EXP/fans/money or does it just give you the item for Extreme clearing the song?

Thank you

Chihaya level 60(leader with 5 hearts)

My top idols are half way to the fifth heart, but my levels are much higher...
What did you do to level it up so quickly? Is it maximum?
Yeah, fifth heart gives a huge boost here, since the event song is "cool" type.

[Okayu]

Good luck making 130,000,000 fans.

Now that I think of it, though -- and feel free to call me crazy -- but apparently word has it the game drops in difficulty if you're to play on a non-JPN account. This is supposedly to make up over the lack of P drops, so could anyone verify?

[Naryoril]

A small tip for people going for platinum. Right after Takane's Birthday should be Valentine day. Week 10 of that 12 week set in fact. Remember ot set your leader beforehand so you can get all 13 idol's chocolate with no issues.

On the side note, i also manage to get Yayoi's Chocolate in lessons. So it possible to get the idol's chocolate via other means, but Valentine day is the sure fire way.

I can't find the corresponding trophy in this trophy list:

Maybe i just overlooked it, could you tell me the name of the corresponding trophy please?

Just got the game a few days ago and seems good so far, my best is in rank c and tried the esiest of the dl lives with almost clearing it but was some level and ranks ago so might try again, kinda annoying the p-drops are region locked but makes sense, oh yeah any that know how to get that boot camp theme? have clicked on the store and can guess to i need to get all dlc

[Naryoril]

has anyone else seen random huge memory boosts?

Yukiho was always behind Azusa in terms of memory hearts. Now i did the second non forced medley all star event and suddenly Yukiho is way ahead, she has 4 hearts now, while Azusa has a bit less than 3.5 hearts. It could have happened an event earlier and i didn't notice, but i don't think so. And the event before was a normal D rank event... That medley event got Yukiho from about 3 1/3 hearts to 4...

The boot camp theme was for preordering the download version of the game.

You'll have to if you want to platinum the game since collecting all the outfits is part of a few trophies. So far not a single person has been able to platinum the game, at least according to this site.

[Reikuo]

Has anyone farmed out all the accessories from the DL live? I got the leg piece and I probably have 5-10 hours worth of runs. This is 110% designed to sell pdrops and nothing more, which is not a shocker, but damn. It would be nice of the stage would rotate too.

Does anyone have the numbers for the S rankup live? Is there even one?

[Hime Idol]

Ok this might be a stupid question but I accidentally selected Hibiki's noise thingy to play when I hit each note.

How do I turn it off? It's driving me insane!
