Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #141 and Get Over The Barrier

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's been quite busy as I start getting back to work. I do feel better this week though. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway.

Get Over The Barrier

Get Over The Barrier is a track is a track that pretty much reminds me of who Lloyd Bannings is. He is the main character of the Crossbell Arc (Trials of Zero and Trails into Azure). As a detective, he is incredibly smart and the entire story revolves around the SSS as they solve cases. Lloyd plays a part in this and I remember him a lot because he used the word barrier/wall in the game many times. So I feel that this track of Get Over The Barrier really does fit him. Like a lot of the tracks, my preferred version is the super arranged version above. It's a great motivational song that I like to listen to.

Here is the original version. It's a battle track that plays during the game. When I played Trials of Zero, it was definitely a motivational track and I think it definitely fit the battles quite well. There is another version of this in the roaring version. Personally, I think the roaring version is better and I think it was played in select scenes or battles. It's been a while since I last played Zero/Azure. When I played, it was the Geofront version before the official version one came out.

Azure is probably the best game in the series despite the cliches that it has. It and Zero always make it tough to rank the games. Here is a version of the same song but in the sequel game Trails into Azure. The track fit the scene that it was played in but I tend to prefer the roaring version or the super arranged version more.

Last but not least, there is another version of the roaring version but it's in a fighting game that I never played. I like it just as much as the original roaring version so there isn't much to say about it.

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

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.
