#if you're wondering why hiiro and aira are everywhere in my screenshots i just like them

[agried]

(tumblr deleted my previous attempted rb in the middle of this. welp. i'll start again. these are just the basics, there are other halloween events/limited time missions/sometimes co-op related events but i don't want to get into that unless you want to know)

OKAY take two. i don't know where guides are. there probably are some, likely on the english enstars wiki, but i learned how to navigate jpstars because i started in the english server which, while it isn't the exact same, still gives me a pretty good idea of how it works. so here i go.

here's my home menu! i hope it isn't unbearably grainy. it's got everything except my diamonds (also shortened to dia) on it. i changed the background and characters on it through the room button with the little chibi head on it on the top right- you can also change the bgm and character outfits there.

take note of the right side- that's where more of the important things are. there's some english text there.

story tab explains itself. if you open it there's like, 5 different things there, but basically the three tabs that have little red dots in my screenshot all have readable stories in them. if you read a chapter of a story for the first time, you get a dia for scouting with.

card tab lets you see what cards you have.

if you tap on a card you can see how far they are in level and in idol road. top button is level, bottom button is idol road. increasing either increases the ability of the card, which lets you get higher point scores in songs.

in the card tab, there's also a second tab on the left. that's. the archive? lounge? something like that. you put the cards you don't use in there, and if your card tab is too full new cards that you've scouted will go in the lounge automatically.

you can move cards from lounge and card tab by using the blue button on the bottom left.

scout tab is gacha. enough said.

live stage button. i don't know how much you've played, but since you're rank 9 that has to mean you've probably played the rhythm game part before. so i'll just let you know that there are sorting options at the bottom of the song play list.

leftmost lets you search by unit, high score, combo, and times played on the bottom when you click it. here's the english enstars version of the tab that pops up when you click it:

second to the left lets you choose what color of song you want to see in the list. second to the right sorts by all, favorites list, campaign songs (when there are no events going on, there are drop bonuses of exp tickets/certain gems in some songs), and songs with special difficulty. rightmost button puts you on a random song that is in the sorted list.

also, if you're trying to get idol gems, put the idol you're farming for as the solo of the song. they'll have a boosted chance of getting gems. if you go into a song and click the second tab, you should be able to select the solo, unless you're in a one-member group's song. here's an engstars version of how it looks.

there is also that 'live challenge' pop-up on top of the live stage button right now- that is a new special difficulty song that you can challenge and potentially get a title from. technically right now there are two new special difficulty songs in the live challenge but i play neither because i'm not a good rhythm gamer despite playing.

ensemble live button. that's enstars' co-op. it's just the rhythm game but now with more waiting (joking)

the office button takes you to your office. here's mine (jpstars is not my main, so it's sparse).

the bottom leftmost button tells you your office rank. the higher the level, the higher you can increase your department levels (accessed by the button next to it). these departments give benefits to your work and work tickets, but frankly jpstars idol work is a snail's crawl. i usually don't do it unless i'm farming an event (non-event idol work gives 250 event points)

the animal button takes you to a different office, one with animals. you get L$ from them. if you're curious, ask me more after you see this rb.

the shirt button lets you see what work outfits you can make for your idols. those outfits give more stats so you can clear idol work. the button to its right lets you see the base stats of your idols. if you finish an idol work, one member of the idols you've selected to do it will gain a stat point. to be able to start an idol work, you need to click the work button, select which work you want to do from the many lists, and have one of the orange work tickets. you can also use bp in it for more drops. those drops are like, thread, buttons, cloth and stickers, which are used to create outfits.

finally, the event button, the big ol one that currently has tatsumi's face on it. currently the event is over, but the past event was a song event, which gives a new song to the game to be able to challenge with 100 event passes. you get 10 event passes from using 1 bp, and 1 event pass from using 1 work ticket. using a single bp and clearing a live, you automatically get 2000 event points plus a number of event points based on your point score (or 'high score') from that specific song play. on a successful event song play, you get 10000 event points plus a number of event points based on your point score of that song play. you get your first copy of the event 5 star at 3.5 million event points.

i'm getting tired, so if you want to know more about the other main type of events, called tour events, ask me again later. hope this covered the basics for you. this took a while to type up lol so sorry if i sound dead inside, but i do hope you see this and enjoy your rhythm gaming

hello (JP) enstars fandom i need your help

i’ve been trying to get more into enstars lately but it has been a bit hard because i’m playing on the JP version and i don’t understand a single word of japanese

i’m pretty sure i shouldn’t be the only one in that case so i’m wondering if anyone had any tips about that because i can barely do anything ingame..

i follow event story through the enstars wiki but otherwise there are so much mechanics i don’t understand, i’ve been playing for almost 2 years now and i’m only lvl9

anyways, if anyone can share their knowledge or anything, please do (i also can’t find any guide online?? i’m probably stupid but yeah)

i need to farm crystals for rei and souma 😿
