Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #232 and Protected Will

about 5 hours ago

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 like.

Protected Will

I chose Protected Will as this week's track because I was thinking about this track earlier this week. It was just on my mind, and I played this track on loop while I was busy trying to finish some deadlines. This track plays in Trials of Zero on Mishelam Wonderland. I was shocked to see what was in the suitcase the first time playing the game. It was amazing to see Lloyd just stand up and say that he would protect KeA. There are two versions of this track, but I prefer the original. It's the version that I first listened to when playing the game, and I just feel that it is cleaner.

I think about Lloyd Bannings and KeA when I listen to this track. It was their first time meeting, and Lloyd is just a badass. I wasn't expecting to see KeA in the box, and how things turned into a smuggling operation out of nowhere. I found it a fitting point in the story because that is where you know that the story has gotten fully serious, and that the story is moving onwards. The image comes from the wiki for Lloyd.

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

Current Status

I gained 79k STARBITS over the past week. This has been one of my worst weeks. The deadlines in work has made me play quite a bit less, and I find myself just trying to get that millionaire mission in. I didn't get anything great from my pack opening.

Current Ranking

My rank is down a few ranks. Not much to say here since I played about the same as last week, but I did notice that my total points are down slightly. I wonder if its because of the new cards that were released this month.

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.

Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.

Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.

Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.

Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.

If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.

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.

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.

~~Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards~~

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.

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.

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.
