Strategy SP - Question & Answer thread
animagic4u:
1. Basically if you have too much stat in something that isn't trendy it goes down. That way you are trendy! Haha. Bad answer I think...^^;;
2. How is your level based on the other idols? If you're much lower you should train more. Do you use your memory appeals?

i'v been playing tons of Im@s 2 on the PS3 in the past few weeks and it is so much fun that i ordered Wandering Star and it should arrive today or tomorrow, so i'v been reading up a bit to know what to do
it seems to be quite different from Im@s 2 so it seems my strategy knowledge from there won't be much of a help. Is there somewhere a post or site that explains a good strategy for the auditions (and on what to focus with training, or do you need to raise all 3 stats evenly)? all i'v found is that the usual strategy is 4 - 3 - 2, but there are also variations like 4 - 4 - 1 where you ignore the least important stat and use memory appeals instead (not even sure about this). is there somewhere a more detailed explanation, especially as to why to do it that way and when/how to exactely use memory appeals?

This link posted on the first page of this thread explains the Audition process as well as other parts of the game much better than I would, so it should be of some help to you. ;D
My strategy while training is to have all stats as even as possible. Like iM@S 2, your stats are also affected by the items you equip. The vocal lesson is always hardest for me as it requires you to unjumble lyrics in Japanese, and my Japanese isn't that good, so I usually try to equip more items that raise my vocal stat.
As for auditions, my strategy is using 1 memory appeal per round (if I miss it, then I'll try again) then using something that is more like 3-3-2. In order to keep using memory appeals, you'll have to do promotions and get good enough communications on them, though.
On an added note, although the author of the link above says that reporter appointments aren't that useful, I still try to do one before a major audition because they raise your image level, therefore raising the amount of points you can get from appeals. Be mindful that once you've raised your image level once (indicated by blue flashing on your stats), if you visit a reporter again nothing will happen until their article stops running (once the blue flashing stops after a few weeks), then you can go again.
Naryoril:
i know the link, actually that's the way how i found this community ;) it explains the mechanics, but doesn't explain strategies
one more thing about the training strategy: i'm in the same boat as you concerning vocal lessons/understanding japanese. is it better to do the pure vocal lesson even though i won't be very good at them or is it better to do the "dual" lessons that raise vocal and something else but don't require japanese knowledge?

Depends if you can read Japanese or not. The judges will comment on idols as the match drags on, and you can get a feel for everyone's standings by reading them. Usually, if a judge compliments someone, that guy's leading the ranking. If they start railing on someone, they're probably last. There's also comments for nobody really aiming for that judge.
Just Appeal a category at the start of the phase only to be put down by that judge? You've got the lowest stat of everyone.
