Love Live! SIF Event: 『School Idol Diary』

Lol. I know. This "tutorial" is already way too late to introduce School Idol Diary (SID in short) Event in School Idol Festival (SIF). Nonetheless, please bear with me. ( ̄▽ ̄)

Moving on...

As of the moment, we are currently having Nico's SID Event, hence, this will be the one that I'm gonna use in this tutorial.


So then... In every kind of event in SIF, there an in-game tutorial that can be found in the event room. If you can understand Japanese, or likewise know how to play this event already. You can move along with your life now and no need to bother on this long post of mine (unless you want to. ( ´ ▽ ` ))

I'm just gonna show you the "official tutorial" from the game itself.











And with all that, I have no idea what it exactly says.

(ノ_<)

Even I'm not sure whether I posted them in order nor complete.

Well, whatever. I did not rely on that anyway. Let's just forget that.

( ̄▽ ̄)

So, how do we play a SID event. It's pretty much the same with the individual themed event of μ's. The difference would be unlocking individual chapters within their school idol diary as you progress in the game.



You'll need to acquire certain amount of Event PTs to unlock each chapter. I'll discuss later on how to gather those Event PTs.

To view each diary chapter, all you have to do is to tap on the event icon that can be seen on the home page of the game screen.


Then it'll lead you to this screen:


The button in the middle depicts which diary chapter you are currently on (as you can see, this one's on Chapter 1). By default, the first chapter of the diary is already unlocked. After unlocking the other chapters, you can simply swipe left/right to view the other chapters.

Just below the chapter button, you'll see how much more Event PTs you'll need to unlock the next chapter (which in this case is 500 PTs).

The one with "10 pt" stated how much more Event PTs you'll need to acquire the next "completion reward" (which is in this case is the 1 loveca stone/love gem).

The "0 pt" is the total Event PTs you already gathered. Including the Event Tokens, which I'll be discussing next.

As I've said, the next in line is what we call the Event Tokens (that's the one with simply "0" on it). Each event got different tokens. In this event, we got a "trumphet" token. These are what we need to play the Event Song ( which again, I'll discuss later).

Let's move along first on how to gather these tokens.

It's quite simple, all you have to do is play a Live Show (play the game) normally. As you play, you'll notice that some notes got a token in them. Now, be sure not to miss any of it. ( ̄▽ ̄) If you did miss any of them, don't worry. All those tokens that you collected will still be yours. And yes, even if you did a "GOOD" or "BAD" move on any of the "Tokened Notes" (not sure is that's a word (⌒-⌒; )), it's still yours. The number of tokens per game depends on what game difficulty or how much LP the song consumed. Let's say for example, Snow Halation [Hard], it requires 12 LP to proceed. If you did chose this song, be ready to acquire 12 tokens as well. The only difference would be a 15 LP song and a 25 LP song.

For a 15 LP song, you can get a maximum of 16 tokens.


As for a 25 LP song, you can get a maximum of 27 tokens per song.


So yes. If you prefer to maximize your LP consumption and can handle the EX songs, you better grind all those songs until the event is finished. (⌒▽⌒)

Earlier, I said something about the Event Song, right? Well. This is an introduction of a new song that will soon be added as a regular/special song in the game.

You can easily identify them among other songs simply because you'll have to download them first. (^_^;)


In the screeshot above, in the upper left corner of the screen, you'll see how many tokens are available for you to play (in this case I got 97 tokens).

In the first couple of days of the event, you can play Easy, Normal, or Hard of the Event Song. The required token to play an Event Song varies on its game difficulty.

For an Easy Event Song, you'll need 15 Event Tokens


For a Normal game, it'll be 30 Event Tokens


For Hard, it'll be 45 Event Tokens per game


I almost forgot to mention, the Event Tokens you've gathered are also added to the total Event PTs you've acquired. But as you can see, it'll take you years to gather thousands of Event PTs by mere acquiring 27 PTs every 3 minutes of your game. So that's where the Event Song will be of purpose to you. As you play an Event Song, you won't acquire any Event Tokens. You'll get Event PTs instead. How much Event PTs you gather per song varies on your score rank, combo rank, and song difficulty. The following screenshots are all based on S Ranked Score and Combo.

For an Easy Event Song, you can get a maximum of 65 Event PTs per game


For Normal, it'll be a maximum of 140 Event PTs per game


And if you can competently play a Hard song, you can grab a maximum of 233 Event PTs per game


If you can easily S Ranked the score and combo of the Event Song, all I can say is that you'll grab more Event PTs if you continuously just play the Hard Event Song. But, don't forget to play the Easy and Normal Event Song even just once. Just for the heck of grabbing the additional reward by completing the Easy-Normal-Hard stages.

But, if you're a hard-core Love Liver!, you can simply just gather all the Event Tokens that you can grab until the last FIVE (5) days of the event. In that moment, they will release a x4 Easy-Normal-Hard Event Song and two (2) versions of an EX Event Song (a regular EX song and a more difficult one than the other). The x4 Easy-Normal-Hard Event Song simply means that it'll take 4x of the Event Token required and you'll get 4x of the Event PTs as a reward in just one game (hence, it'll save you time and effort). Though, it'll depend on your strategy and gaming style whether this is of any use for you. Basically, since you'll be playing fewer songs, you'll get fewer EXP as well. Which equates to less Level-Up and less free LP refills. And as for those that are waiting for the EX Event Song, yes glorify! Cause you'll get them.



As you can see, both of the EX songs got the same song, and the same token requirement. The only difference is their game difficulty (kindly refer to those "stars" below the screen). One got a 9-star difficulty while the other got a 10-star difficulty. And yes. Even its Event PTs reward is the same. If you were able to get a S Ranked Score and Combo, the maximum Event PTs you can get per song would be 404 PTs.

In terms of game efficiency, if you can sustain a S Ranked Score and Combo on the EX song, you'll get more out of it from your Event Tokens.

The rewards that you can get from this type of event are the following:

The "Achievement Rewards" - simply depends on how much Event PTs you gathered throughout the event. And you 'll get the reward as you progress in the game. For Nico's SID Event here's what you can get:


 








The "Event Ranking Rewards" - here you'll have to compete with other players based on how much total Event PTs you have gathered compared to them. The one who got more Event PTs, will be the one on top. For Nico 's SID, here what you can get:



The "Score Ranking Rewards" - pretty much the same with the event rankings, but this time, it'll be based on your Hard Event Song Score versus to the other players. For Nico's SID, here's how it goes:



That's it!!!

Enjoy the game and good luck!!!
