Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #194 and Masquerade of Lies

in #hive-1953709 days 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.

Masquerade of Lies

I chose Masquerade of Lies as my track of the week because I wanted a more action type track this week instead of the calming tracks in the past few weeks. So I went with Masquerade of Lies because it's another one of those memorable tracks in Trials in the Sky Third Chapter as a boss theme. This track is just great on its own. It gets you pumped up and it's a track that reminds me of some Tales or Castlevania track so it was already something that I would like. The best version is the abyss version which combines the original and the super arranged version into an amazing track. After that would the original version. I didn't like the EVO version that much and I feel that the super arranged version is slightly lacking compared to the original. I have the EVO version and super arranged version below if you want to listen to them.


The thing that I think of when I listen to this track is Gilbert Stein. He is a character that I dislike but he is a part of the story. I feel that he is more of a comedy filler whenever he shows up after the Sky Arc (Liberl) ends though. Close to where this track plays, I find the only time where I respected any action he did. He used to be a civil official but later joined Ouroboros and I feel that Campanella is keeping him around for the fun of it. The image comes from the wiki page for Gilbert Stein.

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

Current Status

I gained 42k STARBITS over the past week. I failed to do the millionaire mission every single day but I did more than I did last week. I also visited the game more often during the day. I got another 2 epic cards this week, but I didn't do any of the seasonal mission this time around. It ended a few days ago and it was just tough to do with work after the holidays.

Current Ranking

My rank didn't go up despite playing more this week. I was expecting to be higher, but I guess I didn't visit as often as I thought I did compared to last week. Things are starting to settle down so I should have more time starting next week.

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.
