Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #198 and The One-Way to the Netherworld

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.

The One-Way to the Netherworld

I chose The One-Way to the Netherworld as my track of the week because I got sick again towards the end of the week. I wanted an action track because I wanted to have a good track to keep my spirits up. So I ended up remembering this track. While Spiral of Erebos is the best dungeon theme in Cold Steel III, I think this track is the second best. The One-Way to the Netherworld plays during as the dungeon theme under the Musuem. When I first played Cold Steel III, I thought this was the final dungeon. It wasn't but it had that feeling and it was amazing as you had control of everyone in the cast. You create three different parties and you can mix and match them how you want. The final battle was great too as you swap in your teams between phases against the Dark Dragon.

The thing that I think of when I listen to this track is the dark dragon Zoro-Agruga. It is the final boss of the dungeon and this dragon came up multiple times in the history of Erebonia. it is the cursed remains of one of the Holy Beasts that guard the seven treasures given by the gods. At one point, its dead body turned into a dark dragon and it ruined the capital city of Erebonia. After defeating it, the remains were left under the city. I like it because of how it appears multiple times in the story and the fights in Cold Steel III against it were one of the more memorable fights. The plot twists after this event was also amazing and I didn't see it coming when I first played the game. The image comes from the wiki page for Zoro-Agruga.

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

Current Status

I gained 52k STARBITS over the past week, but it is 112k if I include the millionaire mission. I did quite well this week as I only missed one millionaire mission and it was on the day that I felt really sick. I also got 2 more copies of the season musician so I will be putting them up for the giveaway this week and next week.

Current Ranking

My rank went up quite a little this week. I am glad to see that I was able to do missions more and I have more of a buffer on the reward range.

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.
