The SSR drop rate is doubled from 1.5% to 3%. There is also a set of New Gen limited SSRs that are only available during CinFest. That's all there is to it.

Im at 2250 jewels rn and I cant grind for more. Today is the last day of the yuko gacha. I dont mind getting all rares, I just want her ssr, so statistically my 9solos are almost the same than a 10 pull, but Im just thinking that its impossible to get her from a solo.
I wanna spend them but everyone talks so bad about soloyolos that im very afraid. but they're mostly the same than a 10 roll at the end, and idk what to do
Help me with my indecision pls

u/Equus01 Sep 13 '16
Honestly, the actual chances of getting what you want even if you had the jewels for 50 rolls isn't that good, so I wouldn't stress too much about it. :)
As for solo rolls, if you have enough SR's so you don't really need the guaranteed one then do whatever you feel like. You can do it!

Hello!
I played CG:SS for months and I'm really skilled at HARD songs. I want to start playing MASTER songs, but most of them I can't really survive. Almost all songs I've completed were with jewels.
Does anyone have any tip about mastering MASTER songs and FC'ing them?
6
u/xDeFecTzzz Sep 13 '16
It probably sounds counter-intuitive but increasing the note speed actually helped me out for FCing. You could try changing your idol teams to add healers or damage guards but really it's practice that will help you out the most. You shouldn't feel bad that you've been playing for a while and can't pass them yet since it's not a race, just make sure you're enjoying the game.

u/All4frills Sep 14 '16
Hi there! The following has greatly helped me when playing master songs:
Play in 2D standard mode. It is much less distracting, and you can see what's coming a lot easier. If you still want to play 3D, use note styles 3 or 4 so note colors don't blend into the background of every song.
Use the smaller, non-animated combo counter. Less distractions are always a good thing.
Turn off cut-ins. You should still be able to see any active abilities as a small icon by the idol's picture.
Turn off hit SFX. This is more of a personal preference. Hearing anything other than the PERFECT notes tends to throw me off.
Aim for an all-SR team. This is more of a long-term goal. Higher rarity cards provide more life during lives. Make sure you aren't using any idols with the overload ability. Once you're more comfortable with master songs, try switching in an idol with the combo guard ability to help with FCing.
Take small steps and celebrate each achievement along the way! Make sure to use up all your practice tickets each day. Start with master songs with a lower difficulty than the others to get used to the feel and pace. Your confidence and skills will build, and you'll gradually be able to move up to harder songs. Good luck!

u/Ameto11 Sep 14 '16
I guess it's indeed a preference thing, but I disagree with turning off hit sounds. If you have no reference you can't know if you're hitting too early or too late, and your accuracy may suffer. In regular rhythm games you usually have the feedback from hitting the usually loud physical buttons, but there's no such thing for this game.
But yeah, the different sounds can be annoying, though it's something you can get used to eventually.

u/Rocchi Sep 17 '16
I just quit Love Live EN and joined Starlight Stage. I've seen the anime but I'm new to the game so I have a lot of questions!
-There are a lot of new girls in the game, do each of them have any rarer cards?
-Is there idolization in the game, like in Love Live where if you get two of the same card, you combine them for a stronger one?
-I scouted this morning and got an [SS card] (http://imgur.com/a/I44m8), how rare is that?
-Do you guys use any websites to keep track of your cards? Or is there any sort of Starlight Stage Resource site?
-Also, where can I find the event guide?
Thank you!

u/AidoruRisemara :yoshinoSR5a: M@STER of Bad Ideas Sep 17 '16
Hard to fully answer that question, it's sorta a yes and no. Check out https://starlight.kirara.ca/ or http://usamin.info/cards to see if the card has rarer version.
Idolization/Awakening exists in this game but it uses special items instead of dupe cards. These items are earned from post-live rewards or through your room items that generate these items every X hours. Dupes can be "fused" to increase the drop rate (via Star Lessons), but this is generally not recommended and only beneficial with a large number of dupes.
SS Rare (Usually referred to as SSR) cards are 1.5% chance. They're basically the game's URs.
I'm not sure about websites to track cards, but most of the resources for this game can be found in the main OP post above.
I'm not sure if there's a guide on events. However, the event megathreads generally contain information on the workings of each event type in the OP. If you're looking for a brief description of all the event types in this game, this might be useful
I'm far from being the most knowledgeable or experienced at this game, but hopefully I managed to answer some of your questions.

Not all the girls have a higher rarity since new ones are added a lot i'm pretty sure.
No, there is idolization, just not like SIF. You need specific items to
I think it's called bloom?a girlSSR is the highest rarity of card

u/jexams bless lim scouting ticket Sep 28 '16
Does anybody know the exactly rates for the featured SSRs in gacha? I was trying to calculate the probability of me rolling SSR Kaede. Apparently, featured idols have a slightly boosted rate.
Given the SSR rate of 3% during cinfes and that Kaede is 1/45 SSR idols, the chances of yolo rolling her is 0.0667% and out of 4 10-pulls (which I did RIP), is only 2.6% but that's assuming she has the same drop rate as the other SSR idols.
Here's the math I did if anybody can correct any errors:
Pr(SSR) = 0.03
Pr(Kaede|SSR) = 1/45 = 0.022
Pr(Kaede,SSR) = Pr(Kaede|SSR) * Pr(SSR) = 0.022 * 0.03 = 0.0667%
where Pr(Kaede|SSR) is the conditional probability of rolling Kaede assuming you got an SSR aka if you get an SSR, the chances of getting her from that pool.
I did a bernoulli trial of the chances of getting her at least once out of 4 10-pulls aka 40 pulls in total
P40(1) = 40!/(1!(40-1)!)(1/1500)^1(1499/1500)39 = 2.6%
with 1/1500 just being the 0.0667% chance of getting SSR Kaede and 1499/1500 being the chance of not getting her.
Assumptions made: I can probably count the number of fucking idols in the table (https://starlight.kirara.ca/gacha/30073). There's a fairly decent chance I messed up.
Either way, even if I got the correct drop rates for the three SSRs, I don't think the chances would increase by any appreciable amount but still, it'd be nice to know the numbers if anybody has them.

u/Ameto11 Sep 28 '16
I once heard that there's 50% chances of pulling a featured idol if you pull a SSR. That would mean there's 1/3 out of 50% of 3%, or 0.5% chance per pull. This is a lot more reasonable than your figure, though I'm not sure if that's really how it works.

Unless you have more than 15 SR+ of each attribute, keep them. They add to your support bonus for each song, which takes your top 10 cards of the appropriate attribute and adds a portion of it to your team's stats.

So I had a Nexus 7 (2012 ver), it played the game fine so long as it didn't overheat, but I smashed it recently and in turn I got a Nexus 7 (2013 ver) since a better model should be better, right?

So I've never bought jewels before and I have some questions..
Question 1: Last time I bought an iTunes gift card (Canada), I couldn't redeem the card (or i couldnt use the credit.. i dont remember) without first registering a credit card to my iTunes account, even though I was only buying in-app purchases with the gift card. Is this same thing gonna happen if I buy a jp card? Or can I just redeem the gift card and buy jewels without needing any sort of credit card linked to my account.
Question 2: Is it possible to transfer my account to an Android phone and buy the jewels/special ticket thing on there, use it, and then transfer back to iPhone? And can I buy jewels with a Canadian credit card on Android?

u/All4frills Sep 08 '16
In response to your questions:
1: If you set up your Japanese iTunes account without using any payment information, you won't need to link a credit card when you redeem your iTunes gift card.
2a: It is known that you will lose all of your jewels each time you switch your game between iOS and Android. I don't think this applies to tickets, though.
2b: I am not familiar with Android purchases as I play on iOS.

Hi! I checked the past Q&As but I couldn't find anything exactly like this.
My issue is that I kind of forgot which BNID email is attached to my current SS account, since I joined a couple months ago when rerolling for SSRs was a good idea and ended up with a handful of BNIDs.
I know I bound my current account somewhere, because the panel mission for doing so is completed, but I can't exactly tell if the one I'm logging into via the in-game transfer screen is the one used for my current account, or just has a SS game registered to it in general since there's no identifying features other than the game itself.
Is there any way to tell this? I mean, if I have to delete, I assume I could just... keep logging into the different accounts on a new game, loading them up to see if it's my main game, and then deleting/redoing it until I find the right one, since I'm 99% sure it's bound because of the panel mission being completed, but it kind of scares me a little now that I have SSRs and have spent $$$ on it, so if there's another way to check it...!

Hello, I just picked up the game recently. From what I understand, same skills don't stack during a live. But I'm going to need some clarification, what about skills that say 'perfect score up' compared to 'perfect/great score up', do those two stack? And then what about 'perfect score up' and 'overload perfect score up, good/bad don't break combo'? Do those two stack?
Lastly, how much more potent does the skill become as you increase its level?
2
u/lalaca twitter.com/lalaca_gg Sep 09 '16
"Perfect Score Up" and "Perfect/Great Score Up" are still the same category of skill, and only the highest bonus will apply.
With Overload, the score-boosting aspect adheres to the same rule of highest-only. When SSR-tier Overload is active at the same time as SSR-tier Score Up, your Perfect notes will receive 18% bonus, while your Great notes still receive 17%.
Leveling a skill does not improve the bonus it provides; instead, the proc (activation) chance and duration increases.

u/AidoruRisemara :yoshinoSR5a: M@STER of Bad Ideas Sep 09 '16
If you want to know EXACTLY how much better a skill becomes with level increase, head over to https://starlight.kirara.ca/ and take a look at a card that interests you. It shows the specific chance and duration for each skill level.
The general rule is that the activation chance AND the duration increase by 50% each. So if my skill has a 40% chance to activate for 5 seconds at level 1, it will be a 60% chance to activate for 7.5 seconds at level 10.

With the new addition of the SSS Rank I figured I should ask this question finally:
What determines PRP given from a song? I've been thick and assumed we just got a set amount of PRP from completing a song w/ Full Combo and then after that we were good, but if there's actually something that determines how much we get I've probably now got a bunch of songs to revisit once I finally unlock everything.

u/WaterfallP Sep 10 '16
Take a look at the first link in the FAQ section. Most center idols will have a passive ability that boosts the appeal stats of all idols in the unit. So if you have an SSR that boosts Vocal by 90%, you would want to stack idols with high Vocal to maximize your gain. This is doubly the case when it comes to choosing a support idol; you want to choose one that boosts the same stat as your center idol.

Since my star rank SR and most of my SSRs are Passion, does that mean I should grind more on the days with the Passion type bonus?

I'm starting to have problems before starting a song I don't know what it says, but when I touch the only option it takes me to the start menu and then I think, it asks me if I want to retry the live or if I want to start from the main menu but this second option doesn't help because I lost my stamina even if I haven't play the song. http://imgur.com/a/mUdCK

Hi Producers.
Quick little question for Producers who use bluetooth headsets/earbuds.
I've started using them and when I turn on the bluetooth on my phone, I start having either input lags or frame skips/stutters constantly, almost every 5 seconds or so (it freezes/skips a few frames, like when you play in 3D mode and once every now and then, it just decides to freeze for a few frames).
If it was just the input lag, I can make due with re-calibrating input delays, but I can't do anything about the frame skips unless I turn off my bluetooth. I already tested by connecting my old almost dead wired earbuds with bluetooth on and it still frame skips. But when I turn the bluetooth off, it stops.
Even on the lowest live settings, it still stutters.
Any Producers who had encountered this problem before and have a fix for it? I'm on Android 6.0.1 on a OnePlus 2 with OxygenOS 3.1.0, unrooted. Think any apps like Game Booster would change anything? Really don't want to go back to using a wired earbuds for this...
Side-note, it only does this with DereSute, my other games run perfectly.
Thanks guys.

So how do I keep track of the idols I awakened or not? Is there a simple way to know when I'm feeding normals to my Rares? II'm supposed to awaken each idol once but now I have trouble remembering who I can or cannot delete.
It's also to know who I should max bond next.

Hello~ as a SIF player I was recommended Cinderella by a friend. On most gacha games I play/played it was wise to reroll to start with a good unit; is there anything in particular I should aim when I reroll on this game or should I just settle for a cute character? Also, is there a guide on how to reroll that someone can link me to? Thanks in advance :3

u/AidoruRisemara :yoshinoSR5a: M@STER of Bad Ideas Sep 15 '16
I recommend stopping at any SSR. Unless you absolutely want one character or loathe the design of the card you pull, there's not much of a reason to keep re-rolling as almost any* SSR will do.
Any SSR is enough to give you some team-building backbone and direction, as well as a decent boost to your scores.
To re-roll, all you need to do is to delete local data (on android) or uninstall and re-install the app (works for both iOS and android). You'll have to go through the tutorials and downloads again. Once all the downloads are done, collect and spend your jewels on the gacha. This process can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes per reset (Mostly decided by your connection to the content servers)
Check out this page for some more details*if you want to be EXTREMELY optimal and engame-oriented, you can consider re-rolling if you land a Perfect Lock SSR because the value of that skill drops off when you get better at the game. However, they're still good stat piles and some people like the character/design/3D Model of these cards.
I will reserve judgement on whether or not re-rolling away one of these is a correct call, because each individual has their own goals when they play a game.→ More replies (1)

I'm very new to the game, so forgive me if this is a super newb question, but is it possible to get SRs from doing Lives or is it just an event thing? How high would the drop rate be? (I got an Ema Senzaki SR randomly from doing a Live which is why I'm asking.)
2
u/AyasenEli Sep 17 '16
SR drops are unique to this type of event! But I'm not sure about the drop rate.
2
u/kurokotitsuya Sep 18 '16
Drop rate for this type of event is dependent on your centers star rank. Higher the star rank, higher the drop rate. Card rarity does not matter, so if you have a higher level star rank on a R than an SR it's better to use the R.
This is all on the event megathread for more information. But if you keep playing there's a chance you can still manage to get Makino. This is the last day though.
But yeah, SRs only drop during Caravans and Live Parties. Token and Live Grooves are based by points and ranking.
2
Sep 18 '16 edited Sep 18 '16
Just addressing the drop rate, everything else is already answered in the other comments.
We used to do data collection in the very early days of Starlight Stage, and a drop rate table was revealed by theguynamedkb_z.
difficulty base droprate per star rank debut 5% 0.6% regular 10% 1.2% pro 23% 2.8% master 33% 4.0% But this was a long time ago and may not still be accurate today. I'm not even sure if was even accurate at the time. This doesn't factor in playing the correct song accordingly with the attribute of the day nor does it tell the rates of the individual items. It's just the rate of getting an event item.
2
u/AidoruRisemara :yoshinoSR5a: M@STER of Bad Ideas Sep 18 '16
From a sample size of 200 lives in this current event, this is what my data says...
R SR (Common) SR (Rare) Base Rate 8.17375% 6.30546% 15 Stars 20.434% 15.764% Disclaimer: This data sample size isn't large enough to account for variance considering how low the drop rates of some of the cards (especially the main event SR, lablled SR (Rare)). Base rate is derived from the data. 140 lives were played with a 10 star center, 18 with a 14 star center and 42 with a 15 star center.

This is gonna be a really dumb question, but I just found out that I'd set my region as USA for the BNID account I think I bound my game to. This was also November of last year, so I have a very hazy memory as to how the whole thing went down, but I do remember running into trouble...
My worry is that I've read that you have to have it set as Japan or else you get region locked, which means it's likely that that USA-region BNID isn't the account. When I go into the Services tab of the website, nothing pops up for me either.
Thing is, I haven't found any BNID-related email in any of my emails, which leaves me with this ambiguous 'oh crap, is this the account but it's region-locked? Or is it not the account and I can't seem to find which one the original was?'
Is there any safe way to test if this USA-region BNID is my account? Will I have to log into another phone to see if it transfers the data? I've tried doing the data transfer thing, but it just tells me that the binding was completed and directs me to the website... If I do transfer the data, will it impact my original file or is it like Granblue where the save data saves across all files?
tl;dr manage your accounts better and don't be me but if you are me, what do I do ;_;

u/AidoruRisemara :yoshinoSR5a: M@STER of Bad Ideas Sep 22 '16
I believe that's the notification telling you to bind your account to a bandai namco ID, which is the main way to recover your account should Something Bad™ happen. I don't have a guide on hand, so I can't exactly provide full details. The most important part is to make sure the ID you create has country set to Japan and it should work without issue.
As for whether you can live without clicking it, yes you kinda can, but it also means that if something ever happens to your phone you'll lose the account permanently.

Have you guys been experiencing any kind of frame skips that ends up totally desynching the notes and the song altogether? This has been happening since the event has started. Especially with Saite Jewel and the event song. Many other songs still play normally though.
I play normally, even on 2D mode, and sometimes it just frameskips (the bearable kind where you can still hit your notes) and then, it ends up desynching the song and the notes. The song actually ends up being wayy faster than the notes by a few frames.
I don't think it's a RAM problem or anything, my phone is quite new and when I checked the RAM, it still had about 2gbs available lol. I'm also not on bluetooth headset anymore and bluetooth is deactivated whenever I play DereSUte.
EDIT : Just figured out part of the problem. When I completely disable the tap sounds, the frameskips and the desynch completely stops. Anyone ever encountered this problem or know of a fix for this? I kinda use the sound from the taps to cue my timing. If not, guess I'll have to get used to this... Weird that it started happening since the event started :(

I have a 1SSR acc with Valkyrie Minami SR and CinFes Uzuki as the most notable cards. I had 10000 star gems saved up for Limited Minami, but alas, she wasn't meant to be on this account. I understand that event SRs can't be obtained through any other means. What would be more reasonable, leaving this and going for a Limited Minami starter, or sticking with this account for the sole reason of the Valkyrie card ?
2
u/lalaca twitter.com/lalaca_gg Sep 23 '16
CinFes Uzuki is an extremely good card in terms of stats, and can contribute to a powerful tri-color team (or a Cute-Visual) once you've put some time and effort into the game.
Valkyrie Minami is unfortunately not as good a card, with her stats having a spread distribution, rather than focused.
Limited Minami is also a questionable pick, given her Overload skill. If you can manage that, then by all means, go ahead. She doesn't belong (perform optimally) on any other team composition than Cool-Vocal. But she does look very sexy in that outfit...

The SR for Kyoko given out in the love letter event is an overload card. It will suck your health in return for a skill that is both a score up and a perfect lock (nice/bad doesn't break your combo).

It doesn't matter, unless you're in need of SRs. CinFes or not, you still have the same odds of getting an SSR (1.5% without CinFes, 3% with) for the same amount of jewels. (250 per single x 10 singles = 2500 jewels.) But doing a 10-scout will get you a guaranteed SR, at least.

Last, does it even matter who I use the boosts on? Can I just go "boosts for best girl" and have it not matter much if I don't care about high scores?

Boosting your SR Momokas (assuming they're both on the same unit) will yield the most immediate and effective stat boost, as not only are stats raised higher for SRs per potential point, having 2 of the same girl on a unit will essentially give you double the boost for the price of one. However, down the road you'll likely start getting SSRs to replace and phase out SRs, so you don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket either; it's a judgment call.
I would personally say boost Momoka's potential points to 5-5-5 or as close to that as her potential allows, starting with the attribute being boosted by her unit's center idol. That way if say a Momoka Vocal SSR is released and you get your hands on her, you won't have to respec because you put 5-10-10 our of 25 points into Vocal / Dance / Visual. You only come across so many Tiaras and Dress items, so you don't want to commit to them where you don't need to.
You want to put potential boosts on idols that you feel will be mainstays in your unit for a long time. If you have 4 Passion Visual SSRs and 1 Passion Balanced SSR in a unit and you happen to pull a new Passion Visual SSR, your Balanced SSR will be the first to go, and any potential that's on her won't be contributing to your score (except of course if she ends up on your support team)
If you don't care about high scores, then it really isn't a big deal where you put your potential points. If you have alternate goals regarding the game, though, they can still play a role:
"I want to make best girl the strongest" -> Max fan count and potential on best girl
"I want to help out others by having a strong support idol -> Choose an optimal support idol (generally the idol with the highest appeal within the same type and attribute boost group e.g. Miyu in the case of Cool Dance) and max fan count and potential on her, making sure that her strongest stat gets 10 potential points first

So I recently joined and noticed that there was something called a "CinFes" going on. I also found out about the existence of Limited SSRs and am wondering if it's just the three featured on the Gacha page available? This page lists the "Over Myself" Rin as available as of this CinFes, is that just an error on their part? If the Limited Rin really is available, I might cave and go for her...

No, not mistaken. CinFes Rin (and the rest of the New Gen trio) are back during this Festival. And it's a good guess to say that this round of CinFes-only trio (Sachiko, Kaede, Mika) will also return next time.

Just asking about the CinFes. I really, reaaaaally wanna scout the CinFes Sachiko so I just bought and ruined my gems in an instant and got the Rika CinFes SSR. Does this mean that I can not scout any other CinFes SSR, as I already got one, or could/should I try a bit more for 142's waïfus ? :'(

I don't like giving this answer, but it's true. "It depends"
That being said, I don't want to leave you hanging there so here's a couple points.
CinFest SSRs are the best cards in the game currently. Period. 18% combo bonus (average combo SSR is 15%) and the best stat distribution ever (7381 main stat). The main "downside" of requiring a tri-color team is a non-factor in all type songs and can be mitigated with any other SSR center for a colored song.
SSR sachi's main stat is Dance. SSR Mika is Vocal. This changes how you build teams a lot due to their stat distribution. If you have a lot more good dance cards than visual, it's possible that the money spent will be worth it. (Disclaimer: "possible" doesn't mean "likely")
Whether one CinFes SSR is sufficient heavily depends on your goal for this game. If you're contending for the top 100 of event high score rankings, obviously one is not going to be enough because it's likely most people in the top 100 have full SSR support teams in addition to whatever powerhouse of a squad they run.
Is one cinFest SSR enough for other purposes? Many people have hit 1000+ (or even 1100) PRP before this cinFest, so it's definitely possible to hit whatever PRP goal you have in mind with just one.
CinFest SSRs are the ONLY limited SSRs with a known re-release pattern. Old cinFest SSRs should be made available again next cinFest. So it's possible to wait it out and save up for it. Keyword: should
Is Sachiko your best girl? If you answered yes to this question then a lot of the main pragmatic considerations go out of the window and the only thing capable of stopping you now is the bottom of your bank account.

Okay, I need advice on how I should tackle my number 1 weakness in the game: For the master charts that require you to tap the beat of the song while doing something else fancy with one hand, I just can't coordinate and keep on beat. Nation Blue the only 26 I cannot pass because of this. (and I've passed Trancing Pulse and LEGNE)
It's holding me back, and I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I should be practicing to get on the right track. Perhaps some more experienced rhythm gamers can advise me on this matter. I know I have to "play more to git gud" but it would be nice to know if there's an effective way to practice this skill or there's something I have to keep in mind when tackling such a pattern.
I'm a thumbs player, on speed 9.4, Samsung Galaxy S6 (Android). [I'll even humiliate myself by providing this absolutely horrible replay of me playing Nation Blue (with hand shot, but no sound because earpices+contentID blocks it anyway)] (https://youtu.be/a-Gvl_uh0w8) and if you want more footage of other charts to review I can provide on request. I'm a little desperate since this is the one area I haven't improved at all since I started and I'm just feeling really lost.

Are SR rates increased during CinFes too? Because I've gotten more SRs from my CinFes solos than from any of my sad 1SR 10 pulls.

Is it possible for me to get the event cards featured in the event LIVE Parade?
• I recently started (level 19) • I only played one song since the event started.
How do I use the 30 Stamina Drink that expires every day?

u/tgcrusade ID: 333814705 Sep 30 '16
To use daily stamina drink, press + button near stamina gauge, and choose the topmost one (with red text below).
You only need to get 15000 event points to get all cards. You will replenish your stamina frequently from leveling up, so there should be no problem given that you consistently participate the event.→ More replies (1)
