THE iDOLM@STER > THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Stars

Scoring mechanics and strategies

<< < (4/7) > >>

Naryoril:
Added a table to compare duo and trio drive (and no skill)

The problem here is that the trio drive skill is on the leg slot, as is the combo bonus 100, at least i haven't seen either on a different slot. So you have to choose between combo bonus and trio omoide appeals.
Assuming a song with 300 notes, you get 3000 points out of the chain bonus 100 skill. To get the same amount of points you need an omoide score of 3000 / 1.5 = 2000 if you have 5 omoide appeals at your disposal, and even more for less than 5 omoide appeals. The drive trio gets more interesting on an event with a given image type, since the omoide score is tripled. So to beat the chain bonus 100 on a 300 notes song you need 3000 / (1.5 * 3) = 666.66, which is still quite a tall order for trio lives, but it probably will be beaten by the end.

If you are really going for a high score in a trio live, which means using kiramekirari you need 2334 omoide in a normal case, and 778 with an image type.

Depending on how more than 5 omoide appeals are handled, getting more than 5 appeals could have a huge impact on this comparison though.

Its nice to have the 100 points per 10 notes if your idols have no training, are low levels, and your outfits and accessories suck. Late game I think the appeals are better, they have been each time I tested it but thats also not using kiramekirari. Unless your going for high score for fun I dont see the point in tunneling into this song. I have everyone A rank with all jobs complete and I have only ever used pro with the songs I felt like hearing at the time. My only rank 10 is Happy.

Naryoril:
well, it lets you complete/challenge events at a lower level. If you have everyone at A rank, then you have already spent a lot of time with the game and have the corresponding levels and equipment. I only have 3 idols on A rank and on lvl 50 to 55 so far. If i want to beat the DL live for example, i'll have to use everything at my disposal. Of course, i can also grind several hours to compensate for that, and i probably will in the end anyway since i'd like to get the platinum trophy.  I just mentioned kiramekirari because it's the song with the highest note count, and it's scoring potential due to combos is 1100 points higher than any other non DLC song, 1500 with chain bonus 100. To compensate for that you need 71 more omoide for example (in a song with an image type, 5 memories and duo omoide appeal), or 230 burst (assuming you use a costume with trio burst 3, more otherwise).

If your grinded enough to beat everything anyway, of course there is no point in trying to get the best out of your idols.

If your struggling to beat the DL live at those levels something is off. Especially if you have 5 hearts.

Naryoril:
I don't have 5 hearts. And i haven't invested in lessons yet and haven't used burst cookies and omoide candles, which means i only have burst and omoide on lvl 15, and that not even on all 3 idols.
