Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #184 and Theme X

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I also talk about an OST track that I like. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past that I liked.

Theme X

This week, they released the trailer for the definitive edition of Xenoblade X. I remember playing this game when it was originally released on Wii U but that ended up being a dead platform with nowhere else to go. So I am glad to see that they are going to release it on the Switch. This time, the track is Theme X, the opening song for Xenoblade X. It's been 10 years after Xenoblade X was released and I can finally see myself replaying this game. I think there will also be some new content so I look forward to it, but I wonder if I will have to rely on the multi-player aspect again to get all the items that I need for completionist again or not. The second video is the trailer for the game and the graphics look great. When this game comes out, I look forward to being in New LA again. Theme X is also the OST that plays in the trailer, but it only plays a part of the song.

The thing that I think the most about when I hear is the game Xenoblade X and the skells. The skells are the mechs that you can get in the game, but it isn't really unlocked until quite late into the game. You can use them as you explore the different continents in the game, and even use them in combat. I like using them as a car when I want to on flat land or fly when I want to see things from a higher point of view. The image is from the Skell wiki page.

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

Current Status

I gained 67k STARBITS over the past week and if you add in the millionaire mission, I got around 137k. I only opened 12 packs this week but it came with an epic and my 2nd seasonal musician. I put the seasonal musician up for this week because I wanted to give others a chance to run the mission. It's too bad that there won't be too much time left when it is given out though.

Current Ranking

My rank went down slightly. Not much I can do there with the limited time that I have. I should try to get some more longer missions running during the day.

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.
