I think the Starlight Stage effect can be seen mainly in Uzuki.  However, I doubt there's so many Starlight Stage player starts the Mobage Cinderella girls for the election.

It's hard to tell but I suspect that much too. In my informal polling, people who move on to SS do not come back.

You use them to vote a Cinderella Girl in the Elections (the winner idol gets a new SR and the high ranked idols will have the chance to debut if they're voiceless). However, being unverified doesn't let you vote so, in your case, that tickets are useless.

Thanks. Actually, I can vote 1 ticket (went for Miyo).

What are the blue tickets supposed to do?

I'm unverified, so I perhaps that's why I can't see the whole thing.

You sell idols you get from events etc for drinks and slowly save up.

Selling is only possible for the verified accounts. However, I get a ton of "my" stamina drinks from the events without even selling anything. They just crop as bonuses for participation alongside all the other junk like Puchi Money. And I don't use them much. I have 513 stamina half-drinks right now, but only 93 energy my-half-drinks. Energy is much more useful for events.

I think the Talk Battle pairs you with other players, pretty much like Production Match Festival. I was getting a few losses. But as far as tactics go, there's not much you can do here. There aren't any voltage gauges or any balance between drinks and drinks. Just hit them with the candies, 3 at a time. Maybe Steve could explain better, but that's what it looks to me.

Any tips for playing unverified?

I had an account prior but due to circumstances it was lost so I had to restart @-@ I even had my precious Asuka SR I got myself.. *sob*
So far in this new account I've gotten I've gotten up to the area where Asuka is the boss (Yay!!!) but I've noticed it is really tough to play without the trading function, haha..

You're going to lag the top performers. That affects how you select whom to battle. In my case, my attack cost is 281. But I only output about 250,000, because the best of my line-up is something like 905 attack per cost, and most are below 800. So when I select, I look at the target's defence cost and only battle those who are 110 or below, roughly speaking. But I've been beaten by people with defense costs of 70.

Back when trade was open to unverifieds, things were much worse than now, actually, because events were closed. I mean sure, you could participate. But all the event bonuses went into the okurimono line and sat there, because picking them up was denied. They did it in order to incentivise the verification by letting people see what they'd get if they verified. That made it insanely difficult, in retrospect. For example, the only source of trainers was work, and their numbers were limited. So, all the levelling was done by feeding idols gotten from work. All the money came from work and from selling those idols. So, I would sell maybe 4 cards in order have enough money to use 1 card as fuel. I never had more than 20,000 money in the bank.

When they flipped the switch and closed the trades, they opened event bonuses in the same time. Now you may participate just like verified people do. That means that instead of 20,000 I have 17,000,000 money and I have more trainers that I know what to do with. There's really nothing to complain about.

I ALSO GOT TAKUMI.. wtf?!?!

I also got a Takumi, but then I focused on Memorial side. Got 2 Mikas to takkun them later. Also, Miku SR (cost 14). Not going to get a second one though, it's too much work and not likely to succeed before event closes.

So As I mentioned earlier, I recently switched from Rika love to Mirei love and with it I switched my producer focus from Passion to Cute.

Huh. Didn't know it was possible.

I found where idols can actually run out of HP is the current even Idol Variety on Very Hard or Master difficulty and well you can always use stamina to restore HP there.

Not quite. The number of times you can use a restore is limited. I ran out it while trying Very Hard.

Basically 18 cost cute idols with over 17,000 attack and such

Oh U

Since we're at it, I have enough Star Emblems to buy a ticket for "振り分けptﾘｾｯﾄ券". They only allow to do this once. Is it worth anything? What would it do to my status?

Here is my process of increasing popularity as an example

Not only that, but you cannot see (and thus select) those special trainers _unless_ you choose that dropbox. They aren't in the common list of training counterparts otherwise. Another kink is, you cannot store those trainers for the future in the trainer room (where I have something like 500 trainers of various calibers right now).

Uzuki: Shimamu

Uzuki gets called Uzupaka in the in-game comic, so this is fully canon even if not occurring in the anime so far. It even happens twice.

I'm glad that they took care of the voltage issue, bc I'd always finish for the day and get that full voltage animation and just die inside; but yeah, I agree.

Dunno, it didn't bother me. I always ended the day with one battle short of the 50% MAX, then let 6 EPs regenerate and rush into the continuation on the next day.

Guys, I don't understand a thing in this Puchi event. Not a thing. What is the objective? Any prizes?

I think I won a couple of encounters. It looks pretty traditional, overall: use the "juice" squares up to wear down the opponent. But then nothing happens.

Ironically they are dropping so many high-powered cards recently that I really don't have any incentive to trade. Back when the trade was open for unverifieds, but the event bonuses weren't, I spent something like $30 just to get Miyo SR (cost 12). And that was the cheapest by my extensive cost-benefit analysis. Now it's a cost 16 as far as eye can see and everyone in the front has both A and D above 11,000. Had "[きらきらﾋﾞｰﾁｶﾞｰﾙ]大沼くるみ" (cost 18) drop a couple of days ago out of nowhere. Might be linked with the "海の家" event.
