Global Side Highlights
ONGOING: ROUND 12 COMPANION MATCH
The Round 12 Companion Match is still ongoing, and will last until August 24, 2020, before maintenance time. It features two Event SRs, You and Mari, and they were introduced previously in the Round 7 Companion Match, at that time, a 4 SRs Event. It has no Event Story included, since that time, it has no Event Story included in its past Event in the JP-side since 2018. But then, no matter what, we accept the reality that the ongoing pandemic is gradually changing everything around.
There are nothing to highlight in the Global Side that much, except… In the previous Episode of this segment, I had mentioned that there are limited scoutings of AZALEA (finished), CYaRon! (ongoing), and Guilty Kiss (coming soon) in their sub-unit live costumes! Be sure to scout for them if you have to, since you might get interested in their Skills which are relevant to your current team’s build! Good luck!
In my current Companion Match plays and grinds, I am usually placed with players with high mic levels than mine. In some occasions, I can almost beat them in Score Missions. For the Perfects Mission, I try to go with a team filled with Perfect Lock Skills. And when going on some songs with high combo count, I am using my Score Team to get higher score. But consequently, I am placed at the last position in this process. I also used the Perfect Lock team in order to maximize a certain member’s Bond Points to unlock her Side Story.
Also, during the Event, I was able to play with some of my friends, mostly the ones that I am meeting in some local Anime conventions and other Events. At that time when I was able to play with them, I am able to maximize my current Score to be placed in the Song Score Rankings of the Event, thanks to the friends of mine that has higher mic levels.
Basically, what’s going to happen next is very unpredictable. As the current Companion Match is ending next week after this Episode was published, we are about to encounter something different which is somehow different from the JP-Side. What are those to expect? Only the heavens and time can tell.
BREAK TIME: No New Episode Next Week!
And this wraps the 8th Episode of this segment! So then, as the header says, there shall be NO new Episode of School Idol Festival Journal Log next week. I won’t be able to highlight the things happened on the JP and Global sides next week! I shall be using that time for some of my other agendas and have them updated as well! Don’t worry! I shall still continue to give you some updates on the JP and Global Sides of LLSIF through with my Twitter account. Just remember, some great heroes and idols need rest!
Next Episode shall be published on September 4, 2020! See you in 2 weeks!
