Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #140 and Inevitable Struggle

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. As usual, I am just doing some missions at night because I am busy during the day. I was able to do some missions during the day during the week but not as often as I would like. It has been tough as I have been more or less focusing on chores around the house as the holidays are coming up. The holidays have kept me busy and I also got sick earlier this week. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway.

Inevitable Struggle

Inevitable Struggle is a track is the most memorable track that I think of from the Crossbell Arc of the Kiseki (Trails) series. It's a track that I find myself listening to almost daily and I like how it plays in those epic suspenseful moments during the game. It plays in the scene that I remember the most of Zero no Kiseki (Trials from Zero) where you are playing a defense game. It does play in a few other places against the main story bosses but I think the defense of the bank with the Special Support Section (SSS) is the most memorable to me. Along with Unfathomed Force and Azure Arbitrator, it's in my top 3 battle tracks from the Crossbell Arc. This track was also used in the following game to an extent but I don't recall the exact moments when they used it. I believe it may have been used in the Prison Break sequence in Ao no Kiseki (Trials to Azure). I generally prefer the super-arranged version above. The image is from the wiki page for the SSS here.

Here is the original version. It's good but I think it's a great track. I also didn't mention it but it's very similar to how Silver Will was one of the most memorable tracks in the Sky Trilogy. I don't associate this with any specific boss but more with the entire SSS.

Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status

My earnings were quite pitiful. I got busy with Christmas and I feel a little sick after Christmas. So I haven't really done many missions during the past week. I opened 12 packs this week and I didn't get anything good.

Current Stats

I got my stats and estimated collection value using the discord bot. I also saw a nice little bot to see my current collection value in Rising Star. Unfortunately, the bot seems to be down right now so I can't get my stats this week.

Current Ranking

My rank dropped by 3 but I kind of expected it with my low play time. At least I didn't completely fall off the rankings.

Tips (source)

I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.

1. Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
2. Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
3. Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
4. Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
5. If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
6. If you have more fans than skill and you won't reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
7. Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
8. Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards
9. Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
10. When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
11. Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
