Music Cards

Card Rarity
There are five levels of card rarity, from 1★ to 5★. You are automatically given one copy of every 1★ upon starting the game. The higher the card rarity, the greater its ability values, max level, and max number of fans.

Card Details
Top: (Left -> Right)
 * Check Special Performance (SPP確認): Cards of rarity 4★ and above come with a Special Performance (SPP) that can be unlocked via the Idol Road. Each SPP corresponds to a particular song, so this button allows you to check which song the card's Special Performance is for.
 * Change Image (表示変更): Once you have unlocked the Bloomed card image for a card, this button allows you to switch between the Bloomed image and the original image as you wish.
 * Attributes (属性): There are four attributes in the game: Brilliant, Flash , Sparkle , and Glitter . You will notice that every card and every song in the game has one of these four attributes (with the exception of songs with rainbow triangles in the upper left corner, which have all attributes). When the attribute of a card in your unit matches the attribute of the song being played, that card gets a bonus to all ability values.
 * Fans (ファン数): The number of fans a card has is listed next to a heart in the upper right corner, as a fraction of the max number fans the card can possibly have (the max number of Fans depends both on card rarity and on how many of that card you have stacked together, which will be explained in the Additional Notes section). These fans are gained by performing Lives with the card. Depending on the amount of BP used, the number of fans gained per Live usually scales in the same way that other rewards scale. Lives performed with 0 BP result in each card gaining 2 Fans per Live completed. Using 1 BP gets 10 Fans per live completed, and so on. Additionally, on a particular character’s birthday, the number of fans gained per completed Live increases by 5 for cards of that character. These fans are added to that idol’s total number of fans. (Reaching a certain number of total fans is one condition required to increase an idol’s Rank, which can be viewed in the Idol Room. Increasing the Rank of an idol unlocks individual stories and voice clips for that idol.)
 * Leveling Up(レベルアップ): Leveling up a card outside of Lives is done by using Growth Tickets. There are three varieties: Small (copper), Medium (silver), and Large (gold). Leveling up a card causes the card's ability values to increase, and unlocks different portions of the Idol Road. On the following screen, tapping おまかせ will instruct the game to allocate exactly enough Tickets to bring the card to its max level.
 * Abilities (能力値・パラメーター) “Abilities” are the stats that each card has. These stats are Dance ( Da ), Vocal ( Vo ), and Performance ( Pf ). These Abilities can be increased by purchasing upgrades on the Idol Road for each card and by leveling up the card. Increasing these ability values allows you to earn higher scores on Lives when playing with the card. The total combined value of ALL the ability values (総合値) is displayed prominently for each card, and can be thought of as the amount of power the card has during Lives.
 * * Note that although the colors are similar, Abilities and Attributes are NOT related to each other in Ensemble Stars!! Music.
 * In addition, Dance, Vocal, and Performance stats do not have distinct effects. For example, a +300 increase to Dance and a +300 increase to Vocal have the exact same effect on the strength of an individual card. However, these stats do become distinct from each other in their relationship to Center Skills, which are discussed in the Lives section.


 * Advance on the Idol Road(ロードを進める): Tap this to open up the Idol Road for a particular card. Like in Basic, use the Idol Road to purchase Ability boosts, Skill boosts, outfits, stories, voice clips, and backgrounds (exactly what is available depends on the card). These purchases require pieces of all sizes, as well as type pieces, Live Skill pieces, Support Skill pieces, and Idol pieces. The status bar shows what percentage of the Idol Road has been purchased, and the icons below indicate whether or not there are outfits and backgrounds to be purchased.
 * Skills: Cards come with three kinds of skills: Center, Live, and Support. For more info on skills, consult the Skills page.

Additional Notes

 * Duplicate Cards: When you receive duplicates of cards you already have, instead of having multiple copies of the card, the original card will increase in maximum level and fans, and its Idol Road will be extended.
