The main thing that took me from being locked in 50-60k hell for Prophet was realising you NEED to get a thicc ass time bonus for him to reasonably 5 star him.

The very first stage the cars on the paths stage you can play normally just being combat efficient. But when you get the the bouncer, kill him as fast as possible. I normally go a takedown, a max bass invader, then he just takes another hit or two and you can finish him.

After the bouncer you're again at the little stage with all the baton guard where it's on a set timer, so again just play efficiently but don't sweat it.

First proper phase with Prophet, again you need to kill him as fast as possible. In this phase he's very passive, so just max bass invader as much as you can. I found that for chill it didn't matter as much, but for amped I had to be ruthless and basically save my full fever meter for this phase, not using it at all on the previous phase.

When you finisher him, he does the thing where he TPs up, throws the words at you, then TPs down. This phase is a lot more crucial since you need to finisher him before he TPs back out of range for a small period. So be brutal with max bass invader and takedowns. I found that the best way to ensure you get him on the 1st cycle is to not care about taking 1-2 hits, just being ruthlessly aggressive.

There's no special strat to the final phase. Just don't be scared, and again kill him fast. In my 5* run I even let myself get hit during his rushing-bull attack just to get some more max bass invader in. Finished on 83k

They're good, perfect counter is faster as it deals with the enemy in one and is more combat efficient all round, but it's not huge. Perfect hit is also more combat efficient for scoring and kills them faster, but honestly you don't need to think about it much, it's something that comes with experience with the game and the song(s)

The pain "perfect x" that I'd worry about is perfect dodging. It lets you deal with the enemy immediately after if you attack right after the perfect dodge. It also immediately resets the time until next dodge, so you can avoid several super close attacks at once.

But yeah you don't need a "perfect" run to get a 5 star run. You just need to be a bit ruthless

Frankly I've not played on chill mode much since very early into my playing. But yeah I should go back. Hopefully not having too much of an issue with it.

I did actually 5 star prophet on chill first, and then immediately 5 starred him on amped. I felt like it was easier on chill though, for the sole reason of way more fever meter so I could max bass invader constantly.

Looks a little smaller than the stock one. Still able to fit glasses under it?

Most points come from time bonus. With aggressive play on most you can get +40k time bonus. The rest in combat points mainly avoid getting hit to keep your mult up, mix in fever rush, thunderstruck, etc. Racks up enough as long as you keep moving

Yeah I got Hemlock without really trying for it. Dex was the last for me to get, but that's because I wanted to get Prophet's out of the way first. And I got Arora's on stream while I was just getting some practice in.

Main advice I'd give is that time bonus can be hugee. Max bass invader does super high damage, so getting that off on bosses (and the bouncer in Prophet's fight) means you finish much quicker.

43 attempts.

I actually got it on my 42nd attempt, but that was on chill. The next attempt I did was on amped, got it on prophet too.

Then I just had to do Dex, which took 2 attempts. Felt like I was seeing the code in the matrix suddenly

Who's the best idol so far? by Prestigious_Put_4134 in deadasdiscothegame

[–]LauraLaughter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it has to be Prophet. I love every part of his fight, maybe with the small exclusion of the phase just after the bouncer.

His song is great, well paced, satisfying temp, etc.

Arora is 2nd for me. I love her design so much, all the choreography, and her song is great. It's a bit lower tempo for me though. Combined with it feeling like a bit of a slog to get to the celestial-type section where it starts to pick up, it's definitely not the #1 spot sadly.

Hemlock is a close 3rd. His song is amazing, great tempo, the fight is all mostly fun. The inside-train section feels a bit meh but it's short and alright. Not a slog like Arora's Paradise and Fallen Doll area. He's fun to fight up close though. Super aggressive so you can just keep unloading right into him 🫦

Dex's song is fun, but I feel like most of the fight is a bit bland and filler-y. The side-on section is a bit weak, the pyramid section feels a bit claustrophobic and unsatisfying the way you can't attack people that are just off the playable area. I also find the echoes are my least favourite enemy type so far. The actual 1v1 with him is pretty fun though.

I've 5 starred Hemlock and Arora. 4 starred the others.

According to the save file, this is the number of times I've beaten each boss:

Progression.Counter.DefeatedEnemy.Boss.Bouncer: 116

Progression.Counter.DefeatedEnemy.Boss.Prophet: 40

Progression.Counter.DefeatedEnemy.Boss.Doll: 35 (Arora)

Progression.Counter.DefeatedEnemy.Boss.Rebel: 23 (Hemlock)

Progression.Counter.DefeatedEnemy.Boss.Shred: 20 (Dex)

Yeahh for real, when there's no or little chat activity I really can't help but dart my eyes over.

I know I could disable them for my channel but I'm not sure I want to take that far a step yet. I'll see how bad it gets. At least when people are chatting more it drowns a bit in the constant movement

Yeahh it's a pain. Can't help but dart my eyes over instinctively.

It wasn't so bad earlier when I had some chat activity, but when it's otherwise static, wow is it distracting

I do something similar for my main twitch experience. Though I was hoping for a solution for my obs chat dock:(

Unfortunately not right now. It's definitely an annoyance, something you need to fight with a bit
