What could be the highlights that were spotted during the past weekend, and this week? Read more on the next part to find out!
LLSIF HIGHLIGHTS
Welcome to the new School idol Festival. This is where the true showdown between the Global Side and the JP Side shall begin! In fact, I am truly grinding with the current Aqours Event, which is currently ongoing now since last week! Please do read more of the highlights that happened recently here!
Karin Asaka’s Birthday Campaign and Scouting
Right now, it is ongoing and it shall last until her birthday on June 29! Be sure to scout on her Birthday UR box scouting if you are a fan!
Like the previous birthday boxes before, it shall follow the 100-member box scouting format! I think you had known this before, right? You shall be needing a substantial amount of Love Gems and Scouting Tickets in order to guarantee her UR. And the less resources you spent, the luckier you are! Be sure to scout her also, if you are planning to build a Nijigasaki Team meta in the near future!
Once again, scout if you are a fan of hers. Good luck!

<Aqours> Round 29 Challenge Festival
Event and Score Rankings were adjusted, and it shall start starting on the next future Events!
* More details in the upcoming EP49 of SIFJL this coming Friday.#lovelive #スクフェス #LLSIF pic.twitter.com/ECCLr2RlG9
There is something that has changed in this Event. Based from this embedded Tweet shown above, the ranking cutoffs were changed slightly! For Tier 1 Event Points Ranking, it has changed to 1,000, previously from 500. And Score Rankings were changed to 20,000, previously from 10,000. This means that the Event, as well as the future ones, shall be slightly easier to grind from now on. Also, the changes in the cutoff rankings were due to the recent major update, maintenance, and the server merge of the Global Side to the JP Side.
But then, this is something to watch out for. When there are Global Side players now merged with the players in the JP Side, this is going to be a war zone. Why? How much more if there is an EXP x 5 or x 10 existing during the Event? If those ranking cutoffs were never changed after the server merge, then the future Events shall be more difficult to land a Tier 1 finish in the Event Points Ranking. Maybe, they had changed those ranking cutoffs so that it won’t be a stress to some players like me who is always struggling to play hard in order to reach and defend their tier 1 ranking in Events.
Let’s see if I can pull off further with this ongoing Challenge Festival Event. Right now, my Global Side account is currently parked and on standby. But then, my Global Side account is still active, though. I just login to get some bonuses, but currently it is not active in playing this Challenge Festival Event, for now.
As I had said before in the previous Episodes, my Global Side account shall alternate with my JP Side account when it comes to Events. µ’s is for the Global Side, while Aqours is for the JP Side. I am expecting that my Global Side account to be back in action soon when the next µ’s Event in the 5th of July shall commence.
Going back to the Challenge Festival highlight, I shall be grinding more further since it is an Aqours Event. While grinding further, I am currently testing a new meta team in which I can use in order to top the charts in the Score Rankings. This time around, I am taking on the Master songs with a team with no Perfect Lock Skills! Yep, I think it’s my time to master this greater meta team build that I had made and composed to stand a chance against my rivals.
For my grinding progress, highlights, and final results of this Challenge Festival Event, it shall be highlighted on the Final Episode next week! Don’t miss it!
