Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #213 and The Crimson Stigma

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 Crimson Stigma

I chose The Crimson Stigma as this week's track because I always think of this track whenever Overdosing Heavenly Bliss comes on my playlist. The Crimson Stigma plays after the final boss fight when you see Kevin use his stigma, and I feel that it feels like the 2nd part of the track to Overdosing Heavenly Bliss. Overdosing Heavenly Bliss is arguably one of the best OSTs from the Trials series for me. You learn the backstory on what it is and how he ended up with that stigma. It became one of the sole reasons why Kevin got his nickname of the Heretic Hunter. It's too bad about who you had to use the stigma on, but that was the only way to end Phantasma and get back to the real world. There are two versions of this track, but I prefer the original version over the EVO version.

I think about Rufina Argent when I listen to this track. While Kevin was the driving factor, I think that Rufina Argent is the key person when it comes to the story. Her death was the catalyst that brought Kevin to where he was. He was chasing after her, and that was how he joined the Church. She is also the sister of Rias, who becomes Kevin's squire knight. The image comes from the wiki for Rufina.

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

Current Status

I gained 153k STARBITS over the past week. It was another busy week, and I didn't have as much time as I would like. However, I did earn slightly more than last week, so it was quite good. I didn't do any music lessons this time around,d though. I was lucky enough to get an epic card from my pack opening.

Current Ranking

My rank went up by 1. I was expecting it to go down, but I guess it's better than what I expected to happen given my busy schedule.

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.
