Hi guys, Welcome to our Ensemble Stars Music Guide for New Players, this Ensemble Stars Music Guide is created by Narukami Arashi and These Ensemble Stars Music tips are specifically geared for the opening of a new server, where everyone is at the starting line,
So come and take a look at this Ensemble Stars Music Guide for New Players ( June 2022 )
Ensemble Stars Music Guide 2022
“Who should I pick as my starter?”
As long as you get a five star, you’re fine. Any leader card is completely okay to start with, so if you have a preferred unit GO FOR THEM. Four stars are significantly weaker, so even if you have a favorite character who isn’t a leader, you should get a leader card instead and get the four star through scouting or the pick-your-own 4 star card.
If you don’t have a favorite leader and want to maximize your early potential… it’s not an easy question. Let’s go through a few factors.
Every account has access to the Sparkling Start Dash missions, which gives a free Subaru promo that’s blue. Throughout the quests, you will be railroaded into upgrading him A LOT.
The final tier of quests requires you to unlock literally every node on him, which means that Subaru is going to be your best card by far for a long time. Also, if you are willing to spend 99 cents or equivalent in your area, you get a ‘free’ yellow Hajime.
He doesn’t get auto-upgraded, but he is still a five star. If you want a broad base to start with, I’d recommend getting a red or green starter for this reason – or yellow if you’re not going to spend.
From there, the main differences are support skills and leader skills. Leader skills are split into generalist and specialist, and support skills are split into Ensemble Time and Voltage Support.
The big standout here is that Ensemble Time Support is essentially useless. If you’re missing enough notes to need the support, you’re just going to fail outside of Ensemble Time. Voltage Support, on the other hand, has niche uses even in whale accounts/lategame.
Leader skills depend too heavily on what else you pull, so for the most part you’re not going to know what you want in the way of leader skills, with one notable exception. IF and only if you intend to go hard on one of the first couple events, it’s likely best for you to ignore everything I’ve said so far and go for Hokuto.
He’s blue, he boosts the free Subaru’s best stat, and he’s also in Trickstar. Picking him heavily weights you toward blue, but it will get you higher scores on Only Your Stars by a huge margin, and higher scores mean more event points.
If you don’t intend to go hard in the first section, I’d recommend Hiiro, Madara, or Tsukasa, with Rinne and Rei added in if you don’t intend to get the top-up Hajime. But really, you can pick whoever strikes your fancy.
Ensemble Stars Music Start Dash Missions
One of the first things you’ll see once you’re given access to Ensemble Stars Music is a mission button that leads you to a free Subaru promo. As mentioned in the starter section, this card gets VERY powerful in the course of these missions, and will likely carry you for a long time. He’ll get fully unlocked up to level 80 with a full idol road, making him over 100,000 stats! Some things to keep in mind for his missions:
Most of the resources they give you are FOR Subaru. You will be very tempted to take the EXP tickets and gems and spend them on other cards. Don’t. If you do, your progress on the missions will stall, and you’ll have to grind up more resources to train Subaru further. Keep all gems and EXP funneling into Subaru until you’re completely sure you don’t need more.
Hold onto any dia scout tickets until the Subaru missions ask you to pull them. At multiple points, you’ll be asked to do 10, 20, 30 premium scouts, and will be rewarded a bunch of dia or tickets for doing so. If you save the dia tickets you get until then, you don’t have to spend dia to get dia. For example, a fairly early mission asks you to do 10 premium scouts, and rewards 1000 dia. You could spend 3500 dia doing the pull, and then get 1000 back… or you could spend ten tickets to pull and get the dia without spending any!
Starting Work
DO NOT CRAFT OUTFITS RANDOMLY. Gaining materials is a huge time gate, and you should know that you want an outfit before you commit to it.
The first big threshold is defeating ES1 perfectly, which is a PaUnSm course needing 100 in each stat with three slots. If you craft whatever outfits you can, it can take a long time to clear this first hurdle. But if you’re smart, there’s an easy winning combination with the first outfit set:
Makoto (20/35/25) • Kaoru (20/35/25) • Wataru (35/20/25)
With the base stats, this is just barely enough to reliably clear ES1. Each outfit takes ten threads and one button, which isn’t too much to get.
Each time you complete a course, you’ll get one bonus stat in a random attribute. You’ll need to get lucky with bonus stats and/or Greats to clear it without making all three outfits, but it’s possible to do it with only two. This unlocks ES2 and the ability to have 5 tickets.
ES2 is AcPaCh 360 each, four slots. It’s a different beast, because the guaranteed patterns are not enough to reliably pass it. You have to rely on pattern drops, which are inconsistent. The most consistent patterns to get are the unit outfits, so we’ll go there.
Start with Alkaloid, because Aira and Mayoi are both very solid outfits for this and using 2/4 people in a unit is more consistent. After that, go for one of Rei, Tori, or Tsukasa. They’re the only ones whose unit outfits have all three of the required stats, so having one of those is a huge boon to your attempts. Since you’ll have Kaoru and Wataru building stats from ES1, Rei or Tori will likely be easier to go for. By the point you have Aira, Mayoi, and one of the other three, you likely have enough materials and patterns to have something random with the right stats to put in the last slot.
Clearing ES2 unlocks the ability to have 8 work tickets, which eases events considerably.
Ensemble Stars Music Guide – General Tips
Do not neglect Starry Lives! Every day, you have 9-12 songs that the game will ask you to play manually, and you’ll be rewarded generously for it. The gem rewards are not great, but many of the songs will give 5-50 dia, and while events are going on there will be a hefty chunk of event points available there. Taking advantage of those is a very good use of your time.
Likewise, Infinite Lives are an excellent source of large gems and dia tickets. Keep checking back as your teams grow stronger. Don’t be discouraged by slow progress – sometimes you’ll be stuck on one song for eons and then clear ten in one rush. It all depends on the luck of the cards.
Don’t pull for event bonus cards unless you REALLY like the cards. You have to be incredibly lucky to break even on the event point bonus, like “got the five star on my first pull” kind of lucky. Generally, you’re better off just grinding the event. It’s not nearly as painful with auto mode.
Cards that aren’t Sparkling Subaru are going to grow very slowly. Don’t get discouraged! Events are a great resource, and just playing the game will have you get stronger and stronger over time. Prioritize blooming cards, and ignore most of the side branches if they require large gems. Blooms give a big stat boost (and look pretty!) so they should be a priority.
That’s it for this Ensemble Stars Music Guide for New Players ( June 2022 )
