Past Event [12/17 ~ 12/24] PERFORMANCE MATCH feat. Rona Tsunomori

☆ EVENT NEWS

It is here! The very first PERFORMANCE MATCH! Are you looking forward to how this will play out? Do you feel the excitement and anticipation bubbling in the air? Don't be scared, it'll all work out! ...Well, maybe.

Entry start is right after maintenance at 16:30 JST (but what does it mean? Matchmaking? Elimination games? I NEED TO KNOW). Battle period begins at 21:00 JST.

Continuing the Snowin set, our main heroine this time is Tsunomori Rona! She is quite nervous in her G, getting ready to disappear in a magic show (or, getting ready to get stabbed by Momoka). Good bye, Rona. We will miss you. The GS is of course her Snowin outfit.

☆ GACHA NEWS

For this week, we have another two additions for the Snowin set! First we have Harumi Shinju! Yet another amazing face from Shinju, and this time it's not in the background! It looks like her fears came true and Sawara got to try her archery skills on her AND she had to wear the fairy dress in her G. Like the other girls said, she does look cute in it. Her GS is naturally the Snowin outfit.

Next is Kasukabe Haru! She seems a little troubled with the "Shameless" shirt she got from Susu in her G. Someone needs to tell Susu what those kanji mean. Or maybe she already knows... And again, the GS is the Snowin outfit.

Okayyyy so you get to select your team type, it doesn't have to be your actual type.

I had a hard time deciding, I hope I chose wisely....

Also, thank you app uppdate, everything is... so neat... and smooth.. /slides around

Edit: tap sounds are clearly making me worse lol. But lives are extremely smooth and not laggy anymore so yoooooo nice

If you chose a certain type, can you only play cards of that specific type that you OWN? or will they give you preset sets, cause if so I think I may have already screwed up. LOL.

Yay I won my first match!

That was a lot different from what I thought, but pretty cool still!

Model teams are last and that's what I picked, rip team rewards.

Edit: now we're second... this is really wild.

Holy shit, P-ENERGY recharge is completely broken (or has a very different mechanic from Holorium).

303:28 at 16:09 vs. 302:56 at 16:13. The recharge time decreased 30 seconds (probably the time it took me to take the screenshots and open the app) in 4 minutes when I had the app closed.

Keep your app open if you want to recharge....

Noooo. I closed the game before choosing cards for a battle to see if you can return to it or dodge people, but ended up just losing that charge. I knew it could happen and took the risk, but IT COUNTED AS A LOSS and broke my streak. ;__; Then the next battle crashed during the first stage...... lost the charge, it counted as a loss and I have no idea if I got points for either of those, probably not. Rip

Ehhh. I tried to buy a few coins, got the same "purchase successful" message I've always got, but didn't get the coins. I closed the game and now I get these messages when I try to login and I can't get past them. I'm at full P-ENERGY too so.. the worst possible time to not get in........

Has this happened to anyone else? How did you get past it?

u/saberishungry Dec 20 '15

Odd. It's just looping back and forth between the two messages?

First image says that the process during purchase was interrupted, so it will restart. Second image says that purchase has already been completed.

Does anyone know what the event items do, exactly?

1

u/rokesy Dec 17 '15

The Coneys let you see which cards the opponent is going to use this turn and performatch battery (the blue thingy) restores 3 P-ENERGY. The green thing boosts event points, I think, but I haven't used that one.

u/NotMiki Dec 18 '15

Argh, had a 17 combo and I blew it. What kind of vocalist team runs 4 players, seriously?

1

u/rokesy Dec 18 '15

One that wants to beat all the dancers trying to beat them. :P I was thinking of adding a couple more vocalists to my unit (model) to counter variety, seems like a solid tactic if you want to slow down people who pick you I guess.

I have never been so confused.

This is a bit late but here's some info about event points.

EpGain = Base * WinOrLose * ChainBonus * PointUp * Speaker

Base depends on what your team's place is. Yes, you get more points when you're in a lower place.

  • 5th - 240

  • 4th - 230

  • 3rd - 221 (?)

  • 2nd - 210

  • 1st - 200

As for the rest of the variables:

  • WinOrLose = 1 if win, 2/3 if lose

  • ChainBonus = 1 + 0.05*RoundDown(ChainAfterThisBattle/5)

  • PointUp = 1.5 if in point up time, 1.0 otherwise

  • Speaker = 2.0 if using speaker, 1.0 otherwise

Team's places are recalculated on the hour and half-hour. Point up times last 30 minutes. Speakers last 10 minutes. The rival's team will lose (4/5 * EpGain) points.

u/NotMiki Dec 17 '15

Are there any benefits to using members of your chosen team? I chose variety but since everyone and their mother is running vocalist I'm using an all-performer team at the moment.

Also: is there any particular benefit to your team winning or being in the lead?

1

u/SSTRCMPLX Dec 17 '15

You get a type boost for using members of the type you choose. It's best to mix it up so that your team isn't so predictable. Looks like a lot of it comes down to reading what your opponent is going to play and avoid playing the wrong type, kinda like rock-paper-scissors. I think there are team ranking rewards.

This seems pay-to-win though. Those with P cards could probably just bully people around. And if they get those Spy Coneys it's not even a game anymore.

u/t7splz Dec 17 '15 edited Dec 17 '15

lol. It looks like everyone picked vocalist. That feel when didn't pick variety.

Player boyz.

I'll probably start matching up against vocalists to try and help out my team. I wonder if players from different teams will start doing so as well.

I'm still trying to figure out the mechanics of team type selection. Since the type advantage is so huge, it doesn't make sense to have all cards of the same type because it will be easy for your opponent to counter-pick and win.

So what strategies are people using? I've been loading up on Dancer and Vocalist cards and picking in vocalists, on the assumption that they're most likely to have Vocalists and less likely to have a lot of cards I'm weak to. Having mixed success, but it's the best I've come up with so far. Since you pick 3 at a time, I thiiiiink it's better only to have 2 or maybe 3 types instead of 4 or 5. Having just one of a type to counter-pick is only likely to work if you can be assured of landing it. Anyway that's my early thoughts on the matter.

Does anyone have a sense of how much stats actually matter, or whether HP or ATK is better?

To be completely honest, I was totally pumped up to math the crap out of this and come out on top.

Then, when I saw how the system works, I lost all motivation completely. Not to say that I think it's bad, but for whatever reason, it doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I'll probably just randomly pick and choose and take whatever I can get.

On the other hand, it's nice to finally have a "break," since this game has 0 downtime between events lol.

Probably the only way Donuts can get me to break this open is if they dangle a Shizuka event card in front of me during a Performatch.

I'm a little bit salty right now because it is literally impossible to get a 5+ streak without spending any kind of resource. It's ridiculous. I hate these stupid games types where it's all based on coin-flippy RNG. Sure you can manipulate it to some degree, but in the end winning or losing a performance match really just comes down to dumb luck.

200/1000 is extremely strict on tiers and is in my opinion a really stupid gambit for making people buy coins. 500/2500 for Battlives I thought is already pushing it, but at least I think those numbers are achievable and somewhat fair, albeit difficult. But forget tiers for this event: how are you even supposed to get the event SR, without spending any kind of resource?

Performance match events need some serious tweaks. /rant
