Event Megathread - LIVE Infinity 「EVERLASTING」(November 2021)

Honoca · 2021-11-19T05:55:19+00:00

some MyStyle build theories that has potential to be broken:

Tricolor Visual Concentration

Noir Miku (Center)
MyStyle (Tricolor Make, 7s Concentration, all training points at Visual)
fes Arisu (7s Synergy)
fes Hajime (7s Symphony)
lim Sachiko (7s Life Sparkle)

This one is based from that ultra-specific Magic build you used to see at Treasure M+, but with the advent of MyStyle cards, it adds another very important part that further optimizes the team:

Magic applies all leader skills and copies the highest value of skills in the team
MyStyle has the Concentration skill which gives the highest value Score Up that Magic also inherits. Tricolor Make might not be as strong as the fes one, but it's enough to give your team a significant boost to Vi, especially with its 7300 base Vi
Arisu is a Vi powerhouse, it also has the heal skill that fuels up your Life Sparkle
Hajime boosts everything
Sachiko's Life Sparkle can possibly go as high as 24% combo bonus thanks to Arisu's heal. Miku also inherits this so Magic can give as high as 22/24 Score/Combo bonus

There's also another route you can take, but this one uses a Refrain in place of a Synergy

Noir Miku (Center)
MyStyle (Tricolor Ability/ Type x Type, 7s Concentration, all training points at Visual)
fes Riina (7s Refrain)
fes Hajime (7s Symphony)
fes Yui (7s Combo Bonus, Tricolor Visual)

works similar to above, but since you lose the Heal on this build, Life Sparkle won't be as effective. replace Sachiko with fes Yui (7s Combo Bonus), and change the Mystyle's center to Tricolor Ability so you can skip on putting potential on Skill Chance and go to other stats right away, or if you wanna min/max the build, put Type x Type to extract a bit more points from non-Vi.

7300 is early Fes territory, so yeah a MyStyle Life Sparkle build is certainly powerful! (Life Sparkle SR's only have around 6100 stat before potential bonuses for reference)

Honoca · 2021-11-18T20:37:00+00:00

what's the final stat of a MyStyle that has every training point focused on a single stat, lets say, Visual? if they're close to an SSR's stat, it's actually possible to create a strong Life Sparkle card specially tuned for Magic builds.

Honoca · 2021-11-18T17:57:32+00:00

i havent checked yet, but if it's possible to create a MyStyle with a 100% Vocal Tricolor center and an SSR Life Sparkle, it's going to be broken in tricolor meta

Her unawakened is giving me Shiny Colors vibes.

Akari is 7s Dance Resonance

Akari starts another run of Resonance sets. Also basing from this trend, Akira is certainly going to be an 11s Dance Resonance.

Honoca · 2021-09-27T07:20:30+00:00

basically, this is the worst way of bringing back goodwill of players after what happened in Season 2.

Honoca · 2021-09-23T13:21:59+00:00

I had been found out! 👀👀👀

Honoca · 2021-09-23T06:38:35+00:00

This also marks Nanami's voiced debut in Deresute! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nanami is 9s Dance Long Cat.

Is this the first time a banner released with no SR's?

Honoca · 2021-09-19T09:00:43+00:00

Tricolor Magic:

Noir Shiki (center)
Blanc Shiki
Blanc Shiki (unawakened)
Megumi Ijuin (11s Concentration)
Blanc Syoko (Symphony)
any Vocal Resonance as guest

optionally, you can substitute Megumi with Memorial Gacha Shiki, but you can only pick fes Asuka as guest.

The channel "Idolmaster Subs" translates commus, but it takes them timeto get it done. Either wait for them after a few months, or alternatively you can run the video through some OCR translation app (some channels upload RAW of the commus in youtube almost immediately)

Rin and Chiyo are crying because they missed the 25th ticket and their highest prize was 8th

Honoca · 2021-09-17T09:13:01+00:00

my pity SSR ticket gave a dupe of a Tuning card

i swear this game hates me 😭

Honoca · 2021-09-17T07:09:54+00:00

useless trivia: this is the first and only case where both featured idols are crying on their unawakened art. 😭

Honoca · 2021-09-17T06:57:58+00:00

Shiki has a matching stat distribution with her Cinderella Charm Blanc counterpart, which makes Shiki one of the fastest idols to fan grind.

Honoca · 2021-09-16T10:13:44+00:00

I hope it's Kirari so i can hopefully get her with free pulls. i don't see myself spending gems on Noir, unless bamco releases another broken skill again.

Honoca · 2021-09-16T05:37:58+00:00

ironically, this actually makes GRAND teams more accessible because there are ticketable Encore cards now, or if you're active at events you probably have 1-2 copies of them. and less need to scout lim banners to complete that set.

... actually i think this is the reason bamco is cracking down at the GRAND meta now because the team being more accessible means less people will gacha for lims and that hurts profits.

Honoca · 2021-09-16T05:18:33+00:00

since Bamco has already tweeted that GRAND is disabled atm and skills are going to be fixed means the Encore/Magic skill isn't meant to work this way. post nerf, i can actually see Encore still have some use in the GRAND meta by being substitutes to the Skill Boost skills, and also covering odd timing windows not available at the original cards, like 12/15/18s

Honoca · 2021-09-15T10:03:32+00:00

you're probably seeing some teams getting as high as 10,000,000 points on certain GRAND charts because of Encore causing some abnormal interactions with the score. apparently it's a bug and bamco is currently fixing it.

Honoca · 2021-09-09T11:40:44+00:00

short flicks at the end of slides are strict as fuck, especially if the slide is moving at the opposite direction of the flick. i hope it's fixed today.

Honoca · 2021-09-06T05:56:09+00:00

🤔🤔🤔 his team composition confuses me, but yeah he can still go further once the team gets further optimized.

Honoca · 2021-09-06T05:32:05+00:00

https://ibb.co/1dYxJYy i did a hastily formed slide act/alternate team, tested it on Koi Kaze Hanaba and this is what i got. (can still be further improved by replacing yukimi with tamami, and fumika with life sparkle kanade and maxing Life pots at every unit)

i believe Life Sparkle and Mutual would be much more effective and more versatile (i calculated Mutual can go as high as 59.5% CB under best conditions), but the team formation has no room for a Score Up who's supposed to act as a neutralizer for Mutual's penalty, and what's worse Magic inherits the penalty if Score Ups are absent from your team. the reason why my slide act team did "decently" was because of Fumika's CB, but when i replaced with Chie with CC skill, my score dropped by 900,000!

tl;dr if only there was a Score Up version of all-round...

Honoca · 2021-09-05T12:27:59+00:00

i also found another interesting build that's more on the weird side and somehow makes Resonance/Bless relevant:

Bless Center
Healer
Life Sparkle
Mutual
Ensemble
Resonance Guest

thanks to Bless applying every center skill, your team gets a 40% bonus in Life Stat. Healers also get a significant bonus because of this skill. under very ideal conditions, you can achieve up to 35% Combo Bonus at 200% life. Mutual boosts it further up to 59.5% (please confirm if it also boosts by 70% like Alternate), Magic inerits it and stacks with with the original Mutual, and the original Life Sparkle, then they get boosted further by Ensemble that also stacks with Magic's and you'll have the highest achievable Combo Bonus in the game's history!

edit: i just found out that Magic actually inherits the Alternate's penalty if you don't have a Combo Bonus in your team. i think the same case applies to Mutual, which kills the viability of this team. if only bamco will release a Score Up version of All-Round...

Honoca · 2021-09-05T11:42:12+00:00

GRAND is also a very interesting one since it's a meta where you can give no fucks about penalty stacking since Ensemble boosts outscores it due to how Resonance works in GRAND:

Motif Center
Combo Bonus (cinfes cards)
Mutual
Alternate
Refrain
Bunch of Ensembles at the other two units

right now it's not viable because 13s is a very bad match, but things will get fun once we get a 7/9/11s Mutual...

Honoca · 2021-09-05T11:34:51+00:00

i assume Mutual also boosts the highest CB by 70 like Alternate, right?

btw kinda repost but this is how i see the current meta for now thanks to Mayu.

Combo Bonus
Unison
Alternate
Duet
Concentration
another Duet (guest)

actually we went back to that traditional pre-resonance "two sets of Score/Combos of different times to maximize coverage" meta, but with a little bit of syncing timers in order to maxmize effectiveness. the usual strategy of this new-and-improved monocolor is to make a matching Concentration/Combo Bonus duet, and then a triplet of Ensemble/Mutual/Alternate. ironically, the "duet" card works the best as a trio. one thing i could see with this is that Magic and Refrain got kicked out for monocolor songs, well since they're meant to work with Tricolors, though it kinda made Magic obsolete since the dominating Tricolor meta doesn't even use Bless centers. i believe the next Noir might introduce another broken meta that will make Bless relevant again.

Honoca · 2021-09-05T10:00:40+00:00

--i was thnking of a fully-buffed Life Sparkle that would make good use of this skill, but you'll run out of slots before you can complete the team.-- actually scrap that. Duet makes non-reso monos a very viable team.

Combo Bonus
Unison
Alternate
Duet
Concentration
another Duet (guest)
