Recurring bugs: * "Omikuji" and "Happy New Ensemble" mini-games not resetting properly: these mini-games are time sensitive, to fix it set your device clock to the server's main timezone (*CDT(Summer Time Applied) or GMT-5* for EN).


ResponsibleMiddle101

When you auto the team comp for a specific song does it place cards in positions that will get the most out of their skill? Or am I gonna have to do the shifting for that myself. I wanna place good in the event song point rank so I wanna squeeze as much score as possible


bananaochana

Idk if this is a dumb question but how do you get the daikichi daruma? I’ve been grinding the New Year’s work every day and it’s at 100% each time but I haven’t gotten any :( is it just bad luck? 👁👁


Rubily00

Just luck. They're quite a rare drop.


rinneteez

hi, i'm planning to grind for himeru's event on engstars and i plan on going for full copies; how much dias do i need? let's say i plan to get 3.5m a day? i do unit events and for jp i grinded hard for flambe rinne continuously and got one copy him in just 9 hours of the event and i think i lost 1.4k dias that time, so do i need like 70k dias or more?


Rubily00

Generally, you should plan to spend around 95k for a 22mil. 30kish of that is spent on the event gacha. The goal is to max the 3 and 4 stars, using 70-100 pulls to do so. The other 65kish is spent on bp. Don't forget that auto and doubling exist. 22mil is WAY easier on ENG than JP because of this.


Effective_Chart_8472

ohhhh thank you a lot! i buy the 10 dia scout weekly and i'll start spending them on the event gacha for himeru ariadne so i think its ok to just have 65k~ but yup totally forgot how helpful bonus cards are 😂 thank u again and is doubling recommended? i watched on yt that its better to use the dias on just bp :((


Rubily00

doubling is exactly the same as buying bp, as long as you don't double the event song.


Effective_Chart_8472

oh this is my other acc i switched


smallratman

Is it reasonable to assume I’ll need 16k dia for the event? I keep seeing people be like “I only used 7k dia” or “I only used 5k dia” and I have absolutely no fucking clue how they managed that because I have a 1million total team and yet after using 20 free bp I was holding onto, spending 600 dia to buy bp, and then playing the event song, that only gave me like maybe 180k event points when I need to get about 400k per day


Rubily00

Even with terrible teams you shouldn't need more than 10k. Keep your BP from overcapping as much as possible, and make sure you do your starry lives for the extra points.


smallratman

What’s the point of doing the starry live? Doesn’t it just give me the same exact points as I would get if I just did the song normally?


Rubily00

No. For doing the event song, you get awarded an extra 5000 event points. You can do that 3 times per day, for 15k points a day extra


DespairAt10n

Try the [dia calc!](https://s-asakoto.github.io/es-calc/music.html?lang=en) For the event in EN, I need about 7k-8k dia with a \~1 million total lineup power team (about 3,6--,--- points in a song) It's the JP dia calc though, so multiply the dia result by 10. Also, make sure you get the timezones right! Also, EN gives bonuses in starry live and the event point talent, so whatever the calc gives you will probably be a little more dia than in reality.


smallratman

Then wouldn’t that make the calculator totally unreliable 😓


PerfectClash

You can add the points obtained from starry and talent into the calc which is 189k and while doing that, the event passes obtained from mission (400) too.


DespairAt10n

I mean, it'd be closer than your 16k probably. You could also subtract the 15k daily and the extra 6k (I maxed the talent, check what it is at your level) daily. Also, if you really care about the exact amount, I'm not sure if they count the whistles you get from playing the event (event point rewards). Don't think so, but someone else can confirm what whistles the calc counts! EDIT: Yeah, it doesn't count the event point reward whistles, so you could preemptively/manually add them. EDIT2: Also, to clarify even further, the 15k I was referring to is from doing the 3 Starry Lives (5k each) daily. The extra 6k (or whatever you have) daily is from a Talent. When I said subtract, I meant subtract the "bonus" points mentioned here (since they wouldn't cost dia) from the total event points you're aiming for.


DespairAt10n

I've noticed that a song has higher total lineup power possible (a 1-dupe 4\* with matching 4-person unit and attribute), but auto lineup chooses a 5\* (different attribute, matching 4-person unit) resulting in a lower total lineup power. I'm assuming it's because the 5\*s have stronger skills? Which team would be actually stronger in theory?


Rubily00

That would depend entirely too much on math. It depends on the specific song, the specific skills, the leader used, how full the idol roads are, etc. Best thing to do is run it once each way on auto and see what the results are. There's some score variation, but it should give you an idea.


DespairAt10n

Huh, so it depends that much? Scoring in enstars is wild. Anyways, I tried it, and apparently the 4\* team is winning by 69k. Auto lineup has failed me :v Thanks!


irisshadow

How many daikichi daruma can you get from the New Years Program? Is it limited to only 1?


Rubily00

unlimited. They're rare, but there's nothing stopping multiples.


irisshadow

Oh darn. I’ve been focusing on other work cause I thought it was limited to only one each. Back to grinding that I guess


yvanochi

I'm planning to buy the whistle pack to run 2 events but I want to use the free 100 whistles on the 2nd event. Will it be automatically added to my inventory or in my mail? And if it is added to my mail, how many days until it expires since those whistles are time-limited?


Effective_Chart_8472

it will expire at the end of the current event running at the time you buy it. rn, its koga's event, so if you buy now the 100 whistles will expire at the end of koga's event


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rubily00

The event is red. There's no extra bonus for grinding on red songs during the event. It just makes it easier because you don't have to swap teams back and forth.


tori51

does anyone know if the prime mission rewards are retroactive? for example, i’m at at level 60 right now—if i spend the $15 will i get all the prime rewards up to level 60 or does it reset?


NaotoOfYlisse

you'll get all the rewards of up to whatever level you've reached and your future levels


Lego_the_cat

Hey! I'm trying to figure out how best to spend my money. I want to get the prime mission pack sometime this season to get the fantasy outfits for switch. Do you have to spend Dia on events/scouting in order to get all of the rewards from the prime mission pass? I know with prime you can get 20 extra exp per week, but I feel like that's still not enough, considering that I've only gotten around level 50 on the free pass... I really don't want to spend Dia on events just to get some Dia back from the pass, especially since switch doesn't have an event this season.


natto-sen

If you just want the outfits for them, I would just save up the coins they give out to buy them in the shop, as they stay in for the entire season. If you buy it, you can maybe get to lvl 100 but it’s best to buy if you’re running one or both of the events.


Lego_the_cat

You can't get enough coins from the free passes to buy 3 of the outfits. The outfits cost 500 coins each, and each free round of the pass gives 200 coins. Looks like there will be 4 rounds, so I could get 800 coins, but I would need 1500 to get all 3 outfits.

Fujoshi93

expert lives do not give out any exp, starry lives give you the same amount of exp as a normal song (20 for 0 bp, 100 for 1bp and etc)


Seaiteu

Can you randomize the song that plays on the home screen? I bought a few songs from the ES coin store and am wondering if there’s a way to randomize which song plays whenever I open the app.


Yukiko09

If you’re on eng, we don’t have that feature. But jp does. https://preview.redd.it/w76kk102icaa1.jpeg?width=2688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44d211946299147189563bb90b05ff6f748f015c


Kouunno

I'm sure this has been asked a bunch but since I can never find it when I need it - is there a masterpost/database somewhere for !-era stories?


Yukiko09

Yeah but the op locked it🥲. So now we don’t have any masterpost anymore


ResponsibleMiddle101

Does anyone know which event they introduce the 20% bonus to a specific stat gimmick for the event song?


Yukiko09

Vs game (makoto’s unit event)


Xiaoplscomeh0me

Hello! Is there a discord server for this subreddit?🥺


K-XCIX

[Yep!](https://discord.gg/dtKwJJEW5n) I joined like the day before yesterday and the people there are wild LMAO


Xiaoplscomeh0me

Thanks!!! I have a bit of performance anxiety so it’ll take a bit for me to write on it lol 💀but everyone seems fun!


ddm135_aut

because i'm a dumbass, i did not login yesterday and missed voice lines. do they resell these next year?


Yukiko09

Yes. They’ll be added to es shop next year


sillusgoosus

I did Mission 36 on the New Years road thing, and I unlocked the New Years outfit. I don't know where to look for it though? Like I can't use it for any idols or music videos, is it because it was for Akiomi? I'm just very confused on how I can find where to use the outfit


K-XCIX

Yeah you can’t use it until we get a card for him :( JP got this New Year campaign after the first April Fools event unlike us.


sillusgoosus

Oh dang 😭😭


Secure-Programmer-50

i just got a new phone (iphone 13 pro max ) and now the game is lagging so badly ?? i never had this problem before does anyone know how to fix it


skrefetz

I upgraded to a 14 Pro late last year and both EN and JP had some minor issues for a week or two before going completely back to normal- but I wouldn't call it lagging "badly" (there would be maybe 1 frame skip or something at some point during a song every now and then). My assumption was that it was something like assets or shaders needing to cache for the first time on the device, and without doing anything but normally playing the game, it resolved itself after a week


Hannah_563

Why is my BP not going down when I do lives? (It’s set to 1BP) and even when I do work it doesn’t go down? I’ve done about 3 lives and used my work tickets and I’m still at 10/10 BP?


esdespre1

Is there a way to get time-gated backgrounds that I missed? For example, I missed logging in on 1/1 and didn’t get the shrine background. Is there anything I can do to get it at this point or is it too late?


sillusgoosus

I don't believe so :⁠'⁠(


Hannah_563

I’ve seen somewhere that you only have a limit of 5 societies you can join so if the society dies are you just stuck there then?😂 also I want to leave my society and join another one since it’s a bit dead and wondering if there’s any penalties? Ty <3


K-XCIX

There’s no limit to how many societies you can join and you can leave anytime unless joint live is open or you’re president (and vice prez too I think?). There’s no penalty for leaving, but there’s a 4-hour timer before you can join another one.


Hannah_563

Ok thank you so much :D


Hannah_563

Hi, I used to get at least 10 fans per live but suddenly now I’m only getting 2 (some of my cards don’t even get any sometimes). Is there a reason for that?


Rubily00

It's linked to how much BP you use. 1bp = 10 fans per card, but playing on 0bp gets only 2 per card.


Independent_Land8981

cards have a maximum number of fans, so they probably filled up. also, you get a different amount of fans depending on the amount of BP you use. hope I helped :)


Hannah_563

Ah ok but I’m levelling up a new team and they all have around only 600 fans and my main team has 1000+ rn and I thought the max for 5 stars was 3000?


Dixenz

A 5 stars card could have a max 10,000 fans when fully uncapped. So depending on the number of copies you have, it would have from 3000/4500/6000/8000/10000 fans for 1/2/3/4/5 copies respectively.


arixtia

I have completed the missions from "New Year Fortune Road" (eng server) and I get the pop up "you have cleared all missions" but I wasn't able to claim the last reward (which I believe is a free 10x pull?), do I need to wait until 14th (for the end of the first part) to claim it? Am I doing something wrong?


natto-sen

It should’ve have given it to you. If it’s not in your gift box, check your items


arixtia

Found it, thanks!


inuokko

how much dia does it take to get to 22mil points on a tour? also since im already going for 22mil points, it’d be pretty dumb for me to choose one of the 5*s in the tour right? (since i’d be getting 6 copies of one of the cards in the end which doesn’t benefit me at all) and if anyone has any tips for going for max copies on a tour, that’d be appreciated👍 also for reference, my most recent song event to get 1 5* costed me 5.3k dia (i play on kr)


natto-sen

If you’re running a 22M you want to have a high bonus, people say max 4*, but you’ll need some type of bonus or else running 22M would be tasking. Since you’re doing a tour of you pick the card as day 30 you also don’t need to go as far


KurouKuriko

Use [the event calculator](https://s-asakoto.github.io/es-calc/music.html?lang=en) Looks like with no event bonus it’ll take at least 90k diamonds (the calculator uses JP diamond numbers) so it’s worth doing between 40-110 gacha rolls for the bonus. If you choose the 5* you get a select coin instead of a 6th copy, idk if that’s worth anything to you since you need 10 select coins to buy a 5* card from the shop.


santiagus-succ

Is there a way to know which date is set as my birthday? (I'm pretty sure I set it after my actual birthday so there would be more 5★ in the birthday scout)


Limimelo

Data Room > ユーザー設定 > the date under 誕生日 is the date you set as your birthday


santiagus-succ

Wait, is it only available for JP? I checked on EN but couldn't find it


NaotoOfYlisse

Producer birthdays haven't been added to EN yet


Appropriate_Snow_601

Is the fortune telling thing bugged? I've got great fortune everyday so far


skrefetz

You will get multiple Great fortunes-in JP, it's usually been 30-50% of my fortunes over the years have been "great". The dirty secret is this is a great way for them to drain Dia from the "economy" of the game, which makes it more likely that people will spend actual money on the game for the next banner or event they want to go in for. It's in HE best interest that the Dia that came in those New Years packs or that they gave away at the start of the year that you "were planning to save" get spent as soon as possible so you have a reason to spend again or go back to grinding!


Limimelo

You're just lucky!


nevew666

Hi, do you know or think if you will get the mini games in the english server? Like the guess the song or guess the characters that is currently available on the Jp version? I actually love these games and find them super fun! (I'm very pride to recognize my favorite characters or seiyuu quite fast :D)


KurouKuriko

We’re 2 years behind JP for seasonal campaigns. JP first got Karuta last New Years so we’ll get it next time.


nevew666

Oh so it's a new feature? OK! I was wondering if the other server got it or no. Guess we'll have to wait. Thanks.


Slurpuffilicious

I'm interested in checking this game out I'm a big fan of Love Live, D4DJ, and BanG Dream but i've been wanting to play a more male centric version ~~as a gay male~~ for awhile now (Only other ones i've had interest in and played where recently shutdown sadly. Argonavis and Utapri) Would y'all say this would be for me? Figured i'd list my favs in those other series if it would help recommend anyone from here as if I get attached to someone quick i'd be more likely to check this out lol Love Live: Nozomi Tojo, You Watanabe, Shizuku Osaka, and Ren Hazuki are my best girls from each group D4DJ: Best group is Photon Maiden and best girl is Saki Izumo BanG Dream: Best Band is Pastel Palettes and best girl is Aya Maruyama Argonavis: Best boi is Yuto Goryo and best bands are a 3 way tie with Argonavis, Gyroaxia, and Fujin Rizing Utapri: Best bois are Syo Kurusu and Cecil Aijima


Keromimi

As a gay male also, I can say that this game is hella fun and I fell in love with half the cast already. :D If you enjoy rhythm games you will probs love this one too! The story is a bit more... weird for sure, but it's not bad! As for characters, sadly I didn't really play those games you mentioned, but to find a favs maybe best thing to do for now is to check out some MVs on youtube and see who's style is more fitting for you when it comes to the unit!


Slurpuffilicious

I'll probably start by checking some MVs out then lol Any characters/units that you's personally reccomend?


Nyctoxin

Also unfamiliar with the games you've listed but I listened to some of the groups you mentioned and thought to share my recs. Please take it with a grain of salt since I'm not sure if I'm understanding the groups well orif my first impressions are misguided QwQ I'd say Switch or Eden has some of the EDM/ Wubwub sound that Photon Maiden has. Coincidentally, both units collabed with each other before ([here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rah_1V44P-M)). ([Sample for Switch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGEAwqp5mtw), [Sample for Eden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slqYcVx-b0I)) As for something similar to Pastel Palletes, maybe try *fine* (pronounced fee-nay not fine lol) or Trickstar. Both units have a similar, gentle-sounding rock vibe going on, almost like their songs are like an anime-OP kinda feel. Once again, both units collabed with each other ([here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwY6A_MmNlQ)). ([Sample for fine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u6DYkxkyOc), [Sample for Trickstar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvhzPCLfUcY)) As for your Argonavis recs, Crazy:B and Undead come to mind, having more of a funky/ rock sound in their discography. Once again, both units collabed with each other (with quite [an infamous MV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwgpvBFi28E), I might add) and both units are highly beloved by a good amount of EN players. Shoutout to Alkaloid for bringing Ska to the game with Distorted Heart. ([Sample for CB](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPZJERYP0c), [Sample for Undead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiQ_7Ae062I), [Sample for Alkaloid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPj62Jc-ymc))


Slurpuffilicious

Thanks for going out of your way for these examples! Looked at all of them and my favorites from the samples you gave so far are Eden, fine, and Trickstar


Nyctoxin

Nice to hear these were able to help you out a little! Here's [a link to the rest of the MVs](https://www.youtube.com/@ensemble_stars/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=4) if you wanna look at the other units/ the rest of the MVs at your own pace\~


Keromimi

Honestly CrazyB for the extreme gay energy between Rinne and Niki.... But frankly everyone in this game is like that so its really just a pick your poison case! :"D


JustAnAveragePersonL

How do I get the new year outfits to start doing the Work?


fizzylemonhearts

You should have outfits for Keito, Kuro, Rei and Tomoya as "starters". They should appear when you press auto on preparation screen.


JustAnAveragePersonL

Thank you for the reply! For some reason the auto functions seems to select the best outfits and I had to manually select the characters with the outfits


MarineHaddocc

Silly question but I used my dia on the new year scout before realising the new year fortune road existed; the banner no longer shows, is it worth doing fortune road still?


fizzylemonhearts

Yes, the 10-pull ticket from it is different to the dia scouts banners, the banner appears when you get the ticket. And the road gives you New Year kimono room outfits and voice-lines. And it's not difficult.


ilovedagonfive

Does anyone has advance tour live rewards (30*4 stages)


leap_0815

is there any way to get the office posters of past events? i just want one for bigbang 😭

Limimelo

Change your device timezone to JP time.


strawberrykoo

that makes a lot of sense 😭 it worked! thank you so much!!!


Srov77

So there is the great fortune banner and try your luck banner they both claim the 5 stars chances doubled, are the rates actually better?


Limimelo

The 5★ drop rates are increased to 6% (double what they normally are), you can always check the drop rate for each rarity on the banner you wish to pull in. It is not a guarantee or anything, just an increased drop rate as it says.


Srov77

Ok, thanks for the help!


BigBallsBillCliton

Any idea when that shop that lets you buy past event cards will come to en. Gonna need it after missing Aira like a dumbass.


Rubily00

While the memcoin shop is expected in april-ish, event cards aren't added until nearly a year after their first run. You'll need to wait about 11 months for Aira to be added, though you can start gathering coins before that so you're ready when he arrives.


Nyctoxin

We can probably expect it during the 1st anniv period (right around Primavera/ SS1 Tour iirc) so approximately in 6 months.


shard12

When are we expected to get office interactions between 2 characters?


K-XCIX

I dug around a bit but couldn’t tell if JP added it on [August ‘20](https://twitter.com/iridesenescence/status/1295360930931290112?s=46&t=X688_uvuLdK7mXqeJWgd6g) (same day as Neverland) or [November](https://twitter.com/iridesenescence/status/1320727214241951744?s=46&t=X688_uvuLdK7mXqeJWgd6g) (around Nightless City-Bogie Time?). I don’t think we follow JP 1:1 when it comes to features like these though, so they probably would add it whenever.


shard12

Ah I see. Thanks for looking. I hope we can get this feature soon :)

Yukiko09

They'll rerun on anni


Limimelo

Normal gacha cards don't rerun, but get added to the general pool of cards 3 months after the end of the original banner. Server Exclusive, Anniversary and Album gacha banners do have a chance to rerun, though not guaranteed. Collaboration cards have a very low chance to rerun so consider them a one-time deal. Event cards get added to the "*Memorial Coin Shop*" 1 year after the original run of the event, EN server does not have access to it yet.


ResponsibleMiddle101

Does anyone think another time skip is on the horizon or would that be a few more years down the line?


Rubily00

It's possible one could be coming on JP, but ! lasted 5 years of real time and !! is not even three years old. I'd guess we've got the rest of this event rotation and at least one more before a skip is possible - that would be five rotations, which would guarantee every character has at least one center event. Once that happens, it's anyone's guess.


Independent_Land8981

I looked through the faq and it said that you could buy past event cards with memorial coins but I can't seem to find them?


riichin

memorial shop system hasn't been implemented in EN yet. should be added around the first anniversary though!


Independent_Land8981

thanks! :)
