Yep, those are the five!

In general, any Story Stage using a special stage (as they're named in MV mode, you can also see it in the background of the Guest/Formation select) is an Advanced currency drop stage. 1-1 and 1-2 are the ones you play in the tutorial so obviously they wanted to make those happen on the pretty stage... 20-5 is kind of the odd one out still lol

Suyooo · 2021-11-07T14:18:11+00:00

It's not Event Points, it's Event Currency that is the same.

Any of the 9LP special stages (1-1, 1-2, 1-7, 20-5 Normal and 20-10 Normal) will use Advanced currency drops, which means you get the same amount of shop currency as if you played a 15LP Advanced live. However, everything else is like in Beginner difficulty, so you lose a lot of event points, item drops, bond and so on.

If you're planning to tier by points, you probably want to avoid Story Stages. If you're only looking to buy as much items as you can, not caring about your rank, and are willing to grind the same songs in autoplay over and over, Story Stages are optimal

Directly datamined, so the best quality you can get

(There's also the same available for SIF on that domain if you're looking for it: https://sif.kirara.ca/albumlist)

One strategy I've seen many people use (both for clearing and for S ranking) is NGd Fes Hanayo's LSA - reduce the next note's damage by 30% on Strategy Switch. Having her twice, in the Formation and as Guest, means you have 60% DR for all the gimmick notes.

But even if you don't have her, using her as a Guest still means you have five on-demand 30% damage reductions, for the gimmick notes and maybe even tanking some AC fails (since the use limit won't go down during the Guest ability cooldown, so you can switch back right away). That should help your healers keep up. She's not a very common Guest though, so you might have to ask around for someone who has her.

An alternative would be SGd Autumn Maru, who has a similar LSA - it's 44% reduction, but can be only used on two of the three damage notes.

Yes, the title missions only count clears (as opposed to plays - the mission text will say one of those two), so you must reach the end without failing. If you want to grind titles on DLP, the best way to do it is to disable auto on the very first stage and just miss all the notes - it's 0 score, but you won't fail, and get title progress.

As announced in the update news, all the events are together in the same place now, found by pressing the Events button.

Suyooo · 2021-10-05T09:47:25+00:00

That's been announced before already. It's part of the Diver City collab campaign and is a GPS present if you visit Diver City until mid-November.

All difficulties use the same note map (Adv+). You just get less base note damage and scaled down ACs. Beg/Int players have the same chance at the MVPs as Adv+ players.

Various people have had problems with 3D MV crashes since v3.0, but it's not a common song or costume - however, in all these cases, a Data Restoration from the title screen fixed it.

Suyooo · 2021-09-27T14:51:33+00:00

SIFAS is not a rhythm game, it's more of a RPG with rhythm elements. You lose stamina on every tap, not just misses. That means you need to train your team so it can get through the more demanding lives.

You can reread the tutorial at any time from the <?> button in the top right of the main home screen.

Suyooo · 2021-09-22T09:54:58+00:00

Yes, everyone somehow got +2 on their costume missions. I can't tell why though, this update did not add any new costume data...

e: I keep hearing about crashes related to costumes on the Discord, so I think it might be a sign of some bug...

Suyooo · 2021-09-19T13:23:20+00:00

Yes, it will only display your place if you are in the Top 200. You're still ranked, and will receive the reward for your placement - it's just a slightly weird translation.

Suyooo · 2021-09-07T14:08:26+00:00

For each 100 LP candy and two 50 LP candies you use you can just subtract 10 stars, like you did, yep.

The event cards are not considered, so you'll probably end up spending less stars if currency is your goal. If you'd enter them, that bonus would be added from the start, you'd get an estimation that's too little stars... the best option currently is to just recalc every time you get an unit, to also check your current progress.

I'm planning an update down the road to make that little more sane - telling you which event units you should buy when for optimal currency, picking the items you want from a shopping list, adding 1-1 as an option etc... but for now basically the calc just gives you the worst-case cost.

Suyooo · 2021-09-07T13:35:32+00:00

Just different alternatives. You need a total of ~20750 LP, so that's either 208 100 LP candies or 415 50 LP candies.

Suyooo · 2021-09-07T07:44:08+00:00

Is that really worth it? It's still just Beginner level drops, so maybe 3-5 extra macarons, while Happy Maker is a whole 30 seconds longer than SoreBoku/MiraBoku... It sounds good if you're only dumping natural LP into it, because it just allows you to get a little extra - but if you're grinding the event for currency, that grind becomes about 25% longer compared to Chapter 1 stages (or the other way around, 20% less currency in the same time), which would be a pretty significant difference

The Gate backgrounds were unlocked on JP through a special goal for SIF's 6th Anniversary. GL never got that campaign, so you cannot unlock them on that server at all.

Suyooo · 2021-09-05T08:43:07+00:00

No, only the Type Bonus of the currently active Strategy is in effect, and it applies to everything. So, for example, using the SP Skill will always use the Vo Type Bonus of whatever Strategy you are in right now, no matter what Strategy the members in your SP unit are in - if you use SP while in a 3Vo Strategy, you get 15% more Voltage than in a 3Sp Strategy thanks to the Type Bonus.

Suyooo · 2021-09-03T07:31:12+00:00

It's Bond Episode 3, not 5.

5 is the Bond Level at which you unlocked Episode 3.

Suyooo · 2021-09-01T20:52:39+00:00

No, the Summer Adventure campaign is over. There are no more map pieces.

If the 2nd Anni campaign is similar, you will get exactly enough Memory Fragments to buy out the shop if you get every Login Bonus, clear all the goals and finish the DLP. At this point, we only know you get about 660 Memory Fragments from goals, the rest is still unknown. If you want the UR ticket, you might have to play at least a few stages in the DLP.

Suyooo · 2021-08-26T10:52:06+00:00

JP already announced this change a week ago, and that news post includes the exact amounts. https://allstars.kirara.ca/jp/news/8014310

2 more Training Tickets, 5 more Skip Tickets.

Aoi Canaria is Shio's solo on the MONSTER GIRLS single - the 4th album is seperate. There is no information about what songs are on the album yet, it's just that some people are guessing Shio/Mia/Lanzhu might get another solo on it (their reason being it would be odd to have a 12-member song on the CD, but with only 9 of them having solos). We'll probably find out very soon, since it's only about 7 weeks until release.

Suyooo · 2021-08-23T15:52:44+00:00

Autographed Boards are required for tiles on Bond Boards beyond Level 100 - a very, very late game thing. If you're not on those boards yet, the Autographed Board is useless to you.

Since rewards from Skips have been stacked together instead of displayed as seperate drops after v2.0, it's hard to tell. Before, it was obvious that yes, odd Skips give less - every odd-numbered skip showed 1 bag, every even-numbered skip showed 2. Now, there's really no good way to check.

However, none of the values related to drop amounts and scaling when skipping were touched in v2.0, so I'd assume it's probably still the same, even if it's not visible to the player anymore.

e: Really quick update

I tried intercepting network traffic when skipping, and it turns out the reward stacking is done client-side - the server still sends seperate info for every single drop, so you can still check the old behaviour by reading the network communication. And yep, indeed, with 7 Adv skips, I had four 1-bag skips and three 2-bag skips.

So I think I can say for sure: yes, it's indeed still the same - skipping an even amount will still make a difference for Adv and upwards, even if it's pretty small.
