No the R max level cap is 40 and when you idolize it the max cap becomes 60 so that is how you can exceed the 40 level. and get 1 extra hp
right okay, thanks. So max then idol or does it not really matter? Been maxing them first anyway.

I think it's saying that once the level surpasses the previous max, you gain 1 HP.
So you can just idolize whenever.
This is my team. The only reason it even remotely competes is because I spent all my gold upgrading the normals. The second Honoka and Kotori only dropped recently.
But those two normals have the best raw stats, so I would try to get them up if you can.
But 86 loveca is best value!
Yeah it is pretty good team for a game that just released about 3 weeks ago. If you get some R's in it should be good enough because i don't see as many people pay in this version as in the JPN version.
Welcome my friend
It does not really matter for the extra HP, but i would max them if you use the R in your team. Its pretty hard withouth paying to get the same R or higher. So better level them if you use them or else you can make them rot in the box and don't level them
I am not going to draw i am not going to draw i am not......

rank 803. no way I'll be that high at the end of the event though.
anyhoo, you gain 10 LP an hour, 30LP every 3 hours. if you do 16 15x LP songs a day, that's 16x16 macaroons, 256. That's 8.5 Normal Event songs for 1120 event points, making 1376 event points a day, so 15136 after 11 days. never having to play hard mode once. .5 means another play every 2 days so that's another 5x140 = 700 points.
now consider that you have 40LP max, that's playing every 4 hours so you don't waste LP. so you can only sleep 4 hours. let's assume you sleep 8 hours. you'll lose 4 hours worth of LP, or 40 LP. that's 14 plays per day, giving you 11,498 after 11 days.
It's very possible to get 11k Kotori for everyone.
This all assumes you don't break a combo at all and score SS every 154-176 times you play normal.

You surely will level up in between.
I've been thinking of trying this since it's out on Android now and I've reached an impasse with KanColle (stuck on 3-2 as I don't have a strong enough destroyer team to pass it) but I don't know anything about the Love Live franchise - I've never seen any of the anime or whatever.
Is it still worth me trying it out or should I simply pass it by and avoid potential frustration?

133952277Man, I should stop to sleep. Not only did I miss the begjnning, there are also four pages more. What the hell guys

If there is maintenance it will kick you out directly saying maintenance is for example from 15.00 to 16.00 today. So the server is probably getting hammered had that yesterday during the last day of the japanese event. even wanting to sacrefice idols i had to do it 3 times because they could not connect.

Did 2 50 loveca pulls in the JP version, got two more SR Nozomis. This fucking game. lol
That said, I actually have the chance to idolize one of them... but is it worth doing? Or is it better to keep the two SRs to fill out the team?
Crazily enough, I might be close to a third pull... but I think I'm going to save that to have something to look forward to.

Look at our double UR nico buddy here on gaf. He keeps them seperated. I would do so too if you don't have many SR. Because SR is way stronger then R spreading the power is better then having it one. Because of all the hidden multipliers and stuff. But it is now guarrenteed SR on jpn version? Might do a pull now if so.
I was going to make fun of you guys for calling the Event Song normal 'hard' and the hard mode 'expert', but then the second "Happy Holiday" chorus began and I totally started losing my shit. Fuck! That's going to be fun to practice, except I need to grind songs between practicing it. God damn you Love Live!

Yeah, until the 5th it seems. And I think I'll keep them separated as well... but it's really tempting to bring them together. lol
I just need a Cool SR and then I'll have a fighting chance in all songs... but hey, maybe next time.
(I have like 6 Makis on my Cool team.
)The event songs seem to be harder. In the JP version, the "Bonus" event songs that aren't part of the normal rotations even have different completion prizes because it's just assumed you're going to have a hard time with them.
(You also get a free love gem if you complete all three difficulties instead of the normal 500 friend points)

Use this chart:

Play at whatever difficulty you can get high score/combo on to maximize your points per macaron. That said, normal is boring.

Had the alarm clock at 7:35 to play this morning, got my macarons, and wnet to sleep, then at 12:35, same thing.
I also did some calculations of what I get if I continue to play like this.
If all works out today:
18 15LP songs played
That means, if I dont fail (and its pretty easy to not), 288 macarons a day
put I played at this rhythm 9 days, thats 2.592 macarons
That means at the end I could play 56 hard versions of sweet holiday or
86 normal versions of sweet holiday.
The problem is, I dont know how many tokens nets playing sweet holiday, and if like this I can get to the kotori card.
Also with a 24509 Pure team what would you recomend? I usually get B and A on normal songs and C on hard ones with this type of team.
Is normal my best option, to get the most amount of points?
Try the support thing in the menu. Maybe they give them back.

well luckely for me it was just LP but i hitted a couple of macarons before crashing. Check out the chart Fire posted it did all the min maxing for you
So if you can S rank and S combo normal you should do that instead of getting a B rank with A combo for example.Almost thought you had 3 UR's nearly had an heart attack

Ok, thanks. It makes no sense at all to play normal as long you're coming through hard. Even the worst score gives more points than the highest of normal.Use this chart:

You're not taking into consideration the number of macaroons required to play the song. An S/S on normal is equivalent to a A rank B combo on hard when you figure out points/macaroon spent.
Ah, you're right. By god, don't make me think so much, game.
Is the wiki for anyone else down?
edit: works again, huh.

Thanks m0t0k!
Doing 86 normals with the worst possible outcome (with my level of playing I mean) that is A-B combo, C score. 121 tokens per song, that is 6776 tokens at the end of the event. 9368 tokens adding the ones i get on 15LP songs.
Doing 56 hard with the worst possible outcome, that is B-C combo, C score. 186 tokens per song, that is 10416 tokens at the end of the event. 13008 adding the tokens form the 15 LP ones.
Fuck, seems I need to play in hard, hope it isnt too hard, becuase ive hearing a lot of failures in this thread.
Normal doesnt give me the card (it does if I get at least an A combo with A rank).
What to do, what to do...
If my calculations above are right, it STILL gives you more points that doing it in normal.
Sue me, it was my first time on hard and I tripped up
Uhh. Let me run through my math then.
Assuming 86 Normal, 56 Hard with S Rank/S Combo on Normal and A Rank/B Combo on hard.
140 Tokens per normal and 210 tokens on hard.
86 * 140 = 12040
56 * 210 = 11760
I believe your calculations may suit your needs, but it is more efficient for me to stick with normal and eliminate the real risk of failure. Also, it is incredibly difficult to get an A rank on a hard song with my 24909 + friend bonus of whatever that I currently posses. In order for me to surpass the point/macaroon ratio that S/S on normal would give me, I would have to full combo every hard song, which is not going to happen very often at all.
Yes, a C score and A/B combo on normal gives less than a C score and C combo on hard. You should see for yourself what's doable for you. I don't know how your pure team is currently but a B score on normal shouldn't be that hard to hit and I think a full combo on normal is doable for someone that can pass the hard song.
Yeah, I'm scoring S/S with not too much problem on normal. And after watching the video someone posted earlier, I'll probably struggle to get a C/B, B/C with my 25k Pure team.
Oh well, I hope I'll make it into some amount where it's reasonable to push the rest with gems.

The thing is, I did my calculation with a very plausible otucome in normal (A - A), and the worst otucome in hard (C - C), and hard was still the much better option.
That is, maybe hard is that hard, so thats not taken into consideration. Im really scaredd of trying the song in hard even once for that matter. Or maybe is not so bad for my current level of playing (full comboed all the hard songs in the english version already).

Hee, didn't think of this solution. I just sent them an email. I'm not holding my breath though...
