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 liked. This post is going up one day earlier because I felt like participating in BBHO Powerup Day tomorrow.
Beneath the Bright Sky
It's the end of the work week for me so I felt like listening to this track specifically. Beneath the Bright Sky is an OST that plays in Trials in Cold Steel 4 when your allies help you during a dangerous encounter on top of an airship called the Bobcat. You do get to hear a smaller section of this track in Cold Steel 3 but you only get the full track during Cold Steel 4 even though it's a Cold Steel 3 track. In Cold Steel 3, we only got to listen to a part of it during a radio scene of Abend Time. I like the track and I think it's quite beautiful. It does remind how often you are saved by family/friends/strangers out of a difficult situation. I do think that is probably one of the things that I don't like about the series as much because I feel that there would be better character development if they could solve things on their own. It's just a minor thing compared to what I think Trials (Kiseki) excels at though through its world-building.
The character that I think about the most from this track is Josette Capua due to the full track playing in Cold Steel 4. I think she has developed a lot as a character ever since the Capua Family moved from being a thief/bandit group into a delivery service. When Joshua traveled through Liberl with the Capua Family back in Trials in the Sky 2nd chapter, I remember her growing on me. I like how Cold Steel 3 expanded on the Capua Family's past and it gave her a reason to come back into the story. Even her main job is to deliver people/goods and how they move on to a better life. The images are from the wiki page for Josette and Bobcat.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I gained 49k STARBITS over the past week and if you add in the millionaire mission, I got around 119k. I did put down a few longer missions this week. I saw that the new seasonal mission came out. I opened 24 packs because of it but I didn't get it. However, I did get an epic and legendary card so I think it was well worth the pack openings.
Current Ranking
My rank went up. My time went up slightly and the new unique cards did help push up my stats a bit. It's not a bad result this 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.
- 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.
