Ensemble Stars Music Walkthrough

Ensemble Stars Music is a very popular rhythm game with a stunning anime theme. What makes the game so interesting is that not only does it have an underlying story, but it also brings a very stylish approach to rhythm and music-based games. You get to pick the idol and enhance his work in a way that’s innovative and creative as well. But how can you get better at Ensemble Stars Music? Here are some tips and ideas!

Try to achieve a 5-star card!

When you pick your idol in the beginning, they don’t have a lot of stars. You do want to focus on achieving a 5-star card if you can. Some of the idols with 5 stars are leaders, and you will find them as you progress. You can get cards from the Scout section, and ideally, you can try to save up to 3000 gems to acquire 10 cards at once. That might also increase the chances of getting a higher-starred character.

Remember, all cards can be leveled up. They will become more powerful, and the Live Stage results will improve, too. However, it can take a while to level up, and the game might feel very grindy, but that’s how the gameplay is here.

Read the stories

What you will notice is that you can skip stories, but it’s worth going through them. If you read them, you can receive various rewards. Those can be stuff like unlocking new songs, but also getting access to more Dia currency. Yes, the stories can be overwhelming at times, but they are also a great source of new content.

Complete idol quests

Your idols will sometimes have quests for you, and those can offer you certain benefits and rewards. Obviously, you want to complete any idol quest whenever it becomes available. There aren’t a whole lot of those, but if you find a few, complete them because it will be worth the effort.

Improve your live stage scores!

Live stages test your rhythm game skills, and there are a few ways you can improve here. For example, you start with a lower difficulty and then move up from there. The card level and unlocking the idol road will also matter in Ensemble Stars Music. And then you also want to ensure that the cards and song you want to play are compatible. If that’s not the case, it becomes a problem and you really want to avoid that.

Complete the Idol Road

You can see the Idol Road as a roadmap or skill tree for the Idol you chose. Every skill or feature there can be unlocked as you play, and those jewels or items you acquire from Live Stage performances, events, or jobs will help you enhance your idol. The more you improve upon your idol, the better it will be. However, it will take time to enhance your idol. That’s the reason why you want to pick one and stick with the chosen idol until it has a higher level and more power!

Spend more BP

What’s interesting in Ensemble Stars Music is that the more BP you spend, the higher the item drop rate you will have. And since having more items always comes in handy, that’s why it makes a lot of sense to spend BP when you have the opportunity. Obviously, that encourages quite a bit of a grind, but as a whole, it will open up some great benefits.

Increase your inventory of rare items

You can do that in different ways:

• Enter the game every day so you can access the daily login bonus
• Play the events that appear within the game, as they will give you various rewards.
• There are also various mini-events, usually specific to real-life events like Halloween.

These can help boost the number of rare items you have, and in doing so, you can get some really good results. Remember, the focus is always on enhancing the experience, and on improving your growth.

Farm those songs that you are good at

Realistically, you can’t be good at all the songs. Some of them are better for you when compared to others. Experiment with different songs and see which ones are your favorites. It might take a little bit to get used to those new songs, but once you learn them, it will be really fun. What really matters is to try and find those songs where you get perfect combos. The difficulty mode doesn’t matter as much as the combos, so that’s what you should pursue.

We recommend using these tips if you’re looking to get better at Ensemble Stars Music. Since this is a rhythm game, your reaction time is indeed very important. Yet you also want to plan the way you use your characters and how you upgrade your idols. Thankfully, Ensemble Stars Music has a great learning curve, and you will figure out how to master idols, but also how to make them the best they can be. Yes, the game can be grindy, but it’s a lot of fun, and with these tips, it will only get better!
