Ensemble Stars! Master Guide

Ensemble Stars is a card collecting game that requires simple strategy, but leans mainly towards interaction with the characters and stories.
A key feature of the game is that, unlike many idol-themed games, it is not a rhythm game. According to the creators, they wanted to make a game that did not involve "skill" per se, but rather was able to be played and enjoyed by anyone. As such, the main focus is the story of the game, hence the simplistic nature of the gameplay.
Learning to strategically use your resources and time, in order to maximize your cards' strengths and optimize your teams, is the key to success in Ensemble Stars. Of course, luck is a component of the game, as with most card collecting games of this nature.
This guide serves as a compiled resource to help you understand the main mechanics of the game. If you are completely new to Ensemble Stars, and have just downloaded the app, you might want to check out the Tutorial Guide first! Clicking that link will bring you to a step-by-step guide on how to complete the in-game tutorial. And, of course, if you are looking for more information on a specific mechanic, feel free to look at the Guides page!

**You cannot overflow past 400 AP and 10 LP. AP and LP will not continue to accrue naturally when in an overflow state--you must lower your current AP or LP below the usual cap (200 AP and 5 LP) for natural recovery to occur.

Dress Up Details
When you click on the Dress Up button, you are brought to the Outfits tab of the Dress Up area first. Any outfit without a lock image over it is able to be used right away.
*If an outfit is locked, there are a couple possibilities for the message that will pop up:
**夢コインショップで交換 = Buy in the Yumecoin Shop. Outfits are generally 500 Yumecoins. If you click the yellow button on the right, it will take you to the shop.
**[card name]アイドルロードで開放 = Unlock in a card's Idol Road. If you don't have the card, the red text below is telling you that. If you do have the card, you can click the yellow button to the right to take you directly to its card page.
*The first option in the outfit selection, a box with a dotted outline, is used to randomize the character's outfit out of the outfits that you have unlocked. This outfit changes daily, and will also change if you choose a different background.
*The sorting options for outfits are:
**Display Conditions: All | Unlocked | Locked
**Type: All | School Uniform | Casual Clothes | Practice Clothes | Live Outfit | Scout Outfit | Other
When clicking on the Backgrounds tab, you will be brought to this screen. Similarly to the Outfits tab, any unlocked background is fit to use right away.
*If a background is locked, there is only one way to unlock it immediately; through use of a Background Key, only received through special campaigns like Login Bonuses. The amount of Background Keys you have is shown beside the sorting options.
*Backgrounds are set to a specific time of day. The times of day available are, in order: Afternoon, Evening, Dark Night, Lit Night, and Cloudy.
**If a time of day has a lock on it, it means that it is possible to buy another time other than the default for that background. These can be bought in the Yumecoin Shop for 300 Yumecoins, but only if you have the background itself unlocked.
*It is possible to obtain backgrounds from specific cards' Idol Roads, from events, and from special campaigns.
*The sorting options for backgrounds are:
**Display Conditions: All | Obtained | Unobtained
**Event: All | Obtained via Event | Not Obtained via Event
**Stage: All | On Stage | Not on Stage

**Indoors/Outdoors: All | Indoors | Outdoors
**Season: All | Spring | Summer | Fall | Winter
Changes the BGM that plays while you're on that character's page, or the music that plays on your My Room screen if they are selected. This is defaulted to the Enstars main theme, but can be changed to snippets of unit songs and past event BGM.
*Additional BGM can only be bought through the Yumecoin Shop. Rarely, a special campaign will also give you BGM to use. BGM costs 300 Yumecoins to buy, and a sample can be listened to before buying.

**Display Conditions: All | Unlocked | Locked
**Type: All | Event | Unit Songs | Other

If you click the big yellow button at the top right of this page, it will open a window where you can check the Intimacy Points of individual cards like so:
It's useful for finding cards you need to max the Intimacy Points of.There may also be an icon of the character's face that isn't associated with a card; this states Intimacy Points gained through normal or birthday greeting events.
Chibi Motion Viewer
The Chibi Motion Viewer allows you to view the chibis of all the cards you've obtained, whether they come with outfits in their idol roads or not. The dances, songs, and performances that the chibis perform during lessons are broken up into steps here (モーション (Motion) 1, 2, 3, etc) so that you can view them separately or create your own set of movements.
For 5☆ cards, their bloomed chibi's Motion 5 is always their special animation.

*In certain cards, Voice Clips, Backgrounds, Outfits, and Stories may be unlocked in the Idol Roads.
*At the end of the Idol Road, cards can be "Bloomed" in which the card will receive new art and gain an overall stat increase.

Unit Formation Menu
*Produce Unit: Organize your unit for general Produce Lessons.
*DreamFes Unit: Organize your unit for DreamFes battles.
*Live Unit: Organize your units for Event Lives.
Produce Unit
Produce Unit Menu
*Your cards are arranged into a unit requiring five cards of different characters (For example, if a unit already has Subaru on it, you may not put another Subaru card in a different slot).
*Leader postion (リーダー): The leftmost position in a Unit. Used mainly for activation of #Unit Skills.
*Confirm Skill: allows you to see what Unit Skill(s) boosts your team has.
*Recommended Formation: The game will automatically organize a team for you based on the cards with highest overall stats.
**Tip: If you have cards in your card list that are not fully leveled, the Recommended button will auto-add them to your team.
*Save: Press to save your changes if you switch any members in or out.
*After tapping on card to change to another one, you will get to see your card list. Long-pressing on your cards will show you a brief information window.
**Tip: In this mode (as well as when viewing your cards) you can sort your cards by Lesson skills! So if you're trying to build a jewel grinding team for instance, it'll be really easy to find those cards. See #Cards List if you don't know how to switch displays.
*You can make four different interchangeable units.
You cannot change your unit when a lesson is still ongoing.
If you try do so, a window will pop up telling you that your unit is still in a lesson and you won't be able to save the changes to your unit.
DreamFes Unit
DreamFes Unit Menu
*The arrangement method for the DreamFes Unit is exactly the same as the Produce Unit.
*Clicking the Green-Blue Pen at the top lets you name the Unit (Max 10 Characters).
*You can save up to three different DreamFes Units. Clicking the Red Button at the bottom right lets you designate that specific team as your main team.
Live Units
Live Unit Menu
*Live Units work similarly to the previous types of Units except that there are three rows of Units for one whole Live Unit.
**Some people like to differentiate between a Unit row from a whole Live Unit by referring to the whole Live unit as a "team", for example, Dance team, Vocal team, and Performance team.
*Unlike other Units, they are sorted by Attribute, and pressing "Recommend Formation" will instead create a team of cards with the strongest stats of that specific attribute.
*As seen on the right side, the Units are sorted by Dance, Vocal, and Performance in that order.
*Note: #Unit skills here will not affect the whole team, just the individual Unit row it is in.
See the Forming a team section on the Event Guide for more details about Live Units.

*Unit Skills are special boosts that raise certain stats of your team when certain members of a certain group are put together into a Unit.
*In order for a Unit Skill to activate, one of the characters required MUST be the leader of your team.
**For example, Subaru must be the set as the leader and the rest of Trickstar have to be in your team to receive the Trickstar Unit Skill boost. If you have a character that is not from Trickstar as your leader but all the characters of Trickstar are in your team, you will not receive the boost.
*There are also Limited Time Event Unit Skills, which are correlated to the same characters of the current Limited Time (Gacha) Scout. (You do not need the exact cards from the scout to trigger the Unit Skill. Only the characters are needed.) The Unit Skill will last for the same amount of time as the Limited Time Scout, and will not be available afterwards.
*In some special cases there will be Event Unit Skills which correlate with the ongoing event, such as in Rebellion! The King's Horseback Ride, where the temporary unit, Knights Killers, was created.
See the Unit Skill page for a list of all possible Unit Skill formations.
==Produce Lessons==
Officially Lessons are called "Produce Lessons", but people often just shorten it to "Lessons".
Lessons are the main way to level up your cards and increase your rank.
See the Lesson Category page for a detailed list of all available lessons.
===Lesson Navigation===
*From the left side navigation there are three tabs; those are the three main types of the Lessons.From top to bottom, Main, Daily, and Event, though they may be different types of lessons, gameplay within them are the same.
**Main Lessons: Feature the Units and Classes. Each course features on a specific one.
**#Daily Lessons: Feature only one set of courses and has a higher chance of obtaining #Jewels of a specific color.
**Event Lessons: Found only when a event is ongoing and have a higher chance of receiving Event Lives. Half of the available lessons within it are locked until halfway through an event. See Event Guide for more details.
*Tip: During non-event time, the cost of all Lessons are halved, so use this time to grind the courses you need.
===Lesson Information===
*The Left Box features the lesson information:
**Special Event Character: The character near the top left corner. They will be seen along with your unit in the Lesson and will accompany you throughout.
**The two characters to the right of the Special Event Character are the characters you will face in the In-Lesson Lives.
**Missions: The box below the characters and marked with a yellow tab. Tapping the button will show you the requirements to complete the missions. There will always be three missions for every lesson.
***See #More About Lessons for an explanation on the missions.
***See #Missions for a translation of all the possible missions.
**Events: Box below the missions and marked with a red tab. Tap to see how many events you have completed already.
***In a Lesson there are six events overall: 3 Normal Events (★★) & 3 Special Events (★★★).
***They have to be activated by talking to the Special Event Character of the lesson. When all Normal Events have been seen, one diamond will be rewarded.
***When all Special Events have been seen, one diamond will usually be rewarded. In some of the Main Lessons, Special Events can reward Voice Clips of the Special Event Character.
***See the list of Lessons to find translations of the correct options for these events.
****Tip: Choosing any option in Daily Lessons will not give you "Luck Down".
* The Box on the Right features your Produce Unit:
** You can change your team by pressing the button on the upper right. It functions the same way as the #Produce Unit Menu.
** If your Produce Unit has the same student with the Special Event Character, their display picture in your Unit will be darkened. You will be asked to whether to proceed to the Lesson without them. If you press the Blue "OK" button to accept, this card will be temporarily absent from your Unit and will not receive any experience points after the Lesson ends.
**Clicking on the white button will let you set a Produce item. This functionality is mainly used for Cyalumes, which guarantee a Live on every turn. For more information, see the #Items section.
===More About Lessons===
*There are 20 turns ① in each Lesson, with a DreamFes Live appearing at turn 11 and 1. Essentially, all you have to do is tap in any one of the given locations at the bottom until the Lesson is over.
*Each Location ② is marked with either one or two attribute types, showing which type of Jewel Fragment can be obtained. If the location has two marks, the one on the left is the main fragment type acquired, meaning more of the first type will be received in that area in comparison to type on the right.
*Within the Lessons, there is Luck, Fever, and Trust
**③ Luck: Can be increased by two stages and decreased by two stages upon the activation of Mini Events. Higher levels of Luck will increase the rate of Trust increase.
**④ Fever: The top bar marked with "FEVER." Fills up after each turn with the amount of increase depending on how many characters were on the location selected. See #Fever for more details.
***Once Fever is activated, acquisition of jewel fragments is increased for five turns and if it is still active during a DreamFes Live, the unit will receive a 1.5x boost.
**⑤ Trust: The bar under the idols which are filled up when the idols are trained with. See #Trust for more details.
***Higher Trust will increase the chance of triggering a Normal/Special/Mini Event with the character. The amount of Trust a character has at the end of the Lesson also affects the amount of EXP the card gains.
*Touching an area with no idols in it results in a Mini Event with Akiomi Kunugi, which will allow you a chance to increase the rate of Fever or give you a decrease in Luck.
**See Akiomi Kunugi's Mini Event page for a translation of the correct options.
**Note that if you touch an area with idols, you are guaranteed that the same area will have idols in it again on the next turn.
*Touching the area to the far right is the Infirmary ⑥, where you can activate Mini Events with Jin Sagami and have a chance to increase your Luck by one stage or two.
**See Jin Sagami's Mini Event page for a translation of the best options.
*⑦ Check Jewel: Allows you to check the amount of Fragment, Small, Medium, and Large #Jewels you currently have obtained in the Lesson.
*⑧ Right above Check Jewel is where the amount of Star Medals you have is shown. Star Medals are collected when interacting with locations with #Animals. They are used to buy cards and Rainbow Keys from the Star Medal Shop.
Upon completion of a Lesson, you will obtain Jewels, Producer Points, Star Medals, and EXP for yourself and the cards.
===Animals===
 	 	
Sometimes certain animals (shown below) will appear in lessons. Depending on the holiday, they may have various costumes. Visiting the same locations as them will give you Star Medals, a currency used to buy specific cards and Rainbow Keys, used to rainbow bloom cards.
Normally, doves will give 1-2 Medals, Daikichi will give you 4-6, and Leon will give you 8-12. This amount is doubled during Fever. While they usually appear alone, more Star Medals are given when two or more are in the same location.	Sometimes certain animals (shown below) will appear in lessons.

===Lesson Menu===
The Menu can be accessed in the upper right hand corner.
*The top-left, red button allows make you quit the lesson. (You can no longer return to the lesson again.)
*The top-right button allows you to exit the lesson. (You can resume the lesson once again.)
*The button with the trophy lets you review the missions.
*The button with the ribbon lets you review what events you have seen.
*The bottom section allows you to see how many more heart pieces will be needed before you can activate an #Intimate Event with the character.
**The fraction below is the max number of Intimacy Points you can receive with each card.

===Trust===
The more Trust a character has, the chances of triggering a Normal/Special/Mini Event with the character increases. The amount of Trust a character has at the end of the Lesson also affects the amount of EXP the card gains.	 	 	 	 	 	
Tip: The less people on the the map, the faster the Trust bar will fill up, increasing the EXP multiplier that the character will get at the end of the lesson.
Tip: The higher your luck (the arrow near the Fever bar) the more Trust you get, so visiting the infirmary on the first day can be helpful.
You do not need to fill the bar up to get the best multiplier! The bar only needs to turn pink to make the most of the multiplier.

===Fever===
Fever has a few main uses:
#Increasing the acquisition of jewel fragments for the duration of the Fever (5 turns).
#Giving your unit a 1.5x boost during a DreamFes Live in entered during a Fever.
There is a misconception about this, but Fevers don't affect Event Lives (the ones that pop up randomly, not the DreamFes Lives in an Event Lesson).
How to increase Fever quickly & use it for Missions
Missions often require Fevers to be triggered in Lesson a variety of ways.
Because the Fever bar carries over across Lessons it might be hard to fill it up properly to complete the mission if you don't strategize beforehand.
First choose a low-cost AP Lesson to enter, then we'll cover over how to quickly fill your Fever bar up.
Key Note: The less characters there are on a location tab, the more the Fever bar will fill up.
*1 person - Improves Fever very greatly
*2 people - Improves Fever greatly
*3 people - Improves Fever a fair amount
*4 people - Improves Fever a little
If you have any Fever up cards (look for cards with フィーバー in the Lesson Skill section, see #Produce Unit on how to sort cards by skills.), those are very helpful for increasing the rate at which the Fever bar fills up.
Cards with Fever skills also stack up so putting a few in your unit would be helpful. However, it wouldn't be advised to put more than 2 cause it feels like an overload otherwise, especially if you have other cards to train.
Once you've filled up the Fever bar to about 1 or 2 turns before it triggers, Quit the Lesson (the red button in the #Lesson Menu).
Like mentioned before, the Fever level carries over across Lessons, that still stands when quitting a Lesson.
Tip: If you don't want to quit the Lesson, you can continue to save the level of the Fever Bar by continually going to the Infirmary as it won't raise your Fever level.
Now you can complete the Get Fever within 5 Turns and Get 2x Fever in a Lesson Mission objectives fairly easily.
*To complete, Get Fever within 5 Turns, just enter the Lesson with your nearly filled Fever bar and trigger the Fever.
*To complete, Get 2x Fever in a Lesson, enter the Lesson with your nearly filled Fever bar and trigger the Fever. Then simply use the method described earlier with only choosing the location tabs with the least amount of people to fill up the Fever bar quickly to quickly trigger Fever again before the Lesson ends.
===Jewels===
Also seen in Items
 	 	 	
(From Left to Right, the Jewel Sizes are: Fragment, Small, Medium, and Large)	 	 	
*Jewels (Also called "Gems" by some) are items which can be obtained in Lessons from random drops throughout the Lesson. They are used to unlock nodes on a card's #Idol Road in order to strengthen it.
*Fragments are obtained by progressing through the Lesson or as Mini Event rewards.
**For every 100 Fragments of a color obtained by the end of the lesson, they will be converted into one corresponding Small Jewel of that color.
*All sizes of Jewels (Small, Medium, and Large) can drop in a Lesson.	 	 	
Jewel Drop Skills
*There are cards that help increase the drop rate of Jewels.
**For a detailed explanation of identifying those cards see here.
*Putting cards with skills that increase the rate of Jewel Drops can greatly help in obtaining more jewels. Just make sure not to forgot to unlock the Lesson node that strengthens that skill or else it won't really improve the jewel drop rate much!

*In Lessons, there are three missions to be completed.
*You will receive 1 Diamond for each mission you complete and additional one when all missions are completed.

===Mini Events===
See Mini Events for a list and translation of all the Mini Events with the correct options.
Mini Events (★) are otome game-styled events that can be activated in a Lesson according to the idols in your Produce Unit at that time. Within them, the idol will converse with you and may ask you questions in which you will have to respond accordingly through the choice of several dialogue and/or action options.
A Mini Event will always have three different options to choose from (vs. only two in the Normal and the Special Events found in Lessons).
*Only one of the options will be correct answer which, when chosen, will fill up the character's heart by a third.
*Once the heart is completely filled up, you will be lead directly to an #Intimate Event.
*If the Special Event Character engages with you in a Mini Event, the option that fills up the character's heart will increase Fever instead.
===Intimate Events (Touch Events)===
*See the Intimate Events page for a list and translation of all the Intimate Events with the correct options.
*For a simple chart of all the correct points to touch see here.
An Intimate Event triggers after three heart pieces are collected from answering three Mini Events correctly. In an Intimate Event, the player is allowed to touch the character at three main points (Head, Chest, or Arms) to collect Intimacy Points and raise their Intimacy level. Each character has three different Intimate Events, which will require you (most of the time) to touch a different point each time.
*Touching the different points will produce different reactions from the character.
**Happy is the best reaction and will give 10 Intimacy Points.
**Good is a good reaction and will give 8 Intimacy Points.
**OK is an alright reaction and will give 5 Intimacy Points.
Raising a character's Intimacy Level can unlock Sub Stories and Voice Clips for the specific character. However, only a certain amount of points can be obtained with each card (See #Card Details). Once the limit has been achieved, you will receive a random colored Medium(!!!) Jewel (the image that pops up will appear as a jewel fragment) with that certain card for every subsequent Intimate Event you trigger with it.
*Card Point Limits
**5★ - 500
**4★ - 400
**3★ - 300
**2★ - 200
**1★ - 100
The current max Intimacy Level is 75. When a character's Intimacy Level is at its max level, points can still be collected, but will have no effect until the next max level increase.
==Dream Idol Festival (PvP)==
Dream Idol Festival (or DreamFes, for short) is a PvP mode that lets you battle against others' units. You can participate in DreamFes battles freely, and there are also monthly tournaments that you can sign up for. To access the DreamFes menu, click on the purple DreamFes button on the #School Map.
Participating in DreamFes now gives Yumecoins (Used to unlock BGM, backgrounds, outfits and voice clips that can be bought in the shop) and diamonds as rewards. At certain times Honeyed Lemons and Ame-chans can also be obtained.
See the Dream Festival page for more information.
==Management==
Management is a feature in the game that allows you to level up cards, gain Intimacy Points, and collect jewels and Yumecoins. It can be accessed by clicking the orange button on the Home Menu.
For more detailed information on Management, including a full tutorial and list of courses, see the Management Guide.
==Scouting==
See Scouting for a page of the current ongoing scouts
Scouting is a way to get new cards to build your teams.
The different Scout tabs are also referred to as "boxes" by people (i.e. Gacha Box, Dia Box).
Usually there are only 3 tabs (Diamond Scout, 3★ Producer Point Scout & Producer Point Scout) in the Scouting Menu but during certain periods of time there may be up to 5. The other 2 scouting tabs (Limited Scout, Story Intro Scout) are usually the type of scouts that only last a specific amount of time and are a bit more unique.
*It takes 15 Diamonds to scout once and 135 Diamonds to scout 10 cards at one time.
*If you get a full 10 scout with only 3* cards, a message will appear notifying that the next 10x scout will have a 4★ guaranteed.
Key Note: Unlike some other games you CANNOT scout for previous event cards in here. You can only obtain past event cards by participating in #Revival Events.
<tabber>
Limited Scout=
Officially, it is called a Campaign Scout, but many tend to refer to it as the Event Scout, or simply just as the newest Gacha.
A new Campaign Scout opens 1 day before an Event starts, and ends at the same time the Revival Event period does (about 4 days after the main Event ends). The end date and time are displayed in red.
*This Scout will have cards that follow a specific theme and story.
**There will always be one new 5★ & 4★ card released with this scout, as well as two new 3★ cards. All of these cards come with story nodes that you can unlock on their Idol Roads.
**Generally, only the 5★ & 4★ card will get new outfit nodes. It is very rare for the 3★ cards to get new outfits.
*During the concurrent Event with the Campaign Gacha, these cards will have 2x their normal stats when used in Event Lives as well as award a slight amount of bonus points. See #Scouting Bonuses in the Event Guide for more details.
**If you are participating in a Revival Event during this period, the Gacha bonus will be active there, as well.
*In this specific Scout, the new cards will have a boosted chance of appearing.
*If you happen to draw a 5★, the 5★ you will obtain will ALWAYS be from the current scout.
**It is impossible to draw a previous 5★ Gacha card here.
*Any 4★s you draw from here will have a 50% chance of being from the current Gacha 4★. The other 50% can be any of the Initial/Starter 4★s, or Story Scout 4★s.
*Cards from the current Gacha will be added to the other Scout pools after 1 month. Until then, they are only available during the Campaign Scout period.
*There is a 4★ guarantee for the first 10x draw for every new Limited scout introduced.
**This does not guarantee you will pull the current Gacha 4★.
*Past Limited Scouting cards CANNOT be drawn from this box.
See a list of past Limited Scouts here.
|-|
Story Intro Scout=
Also referred to as the Story Scout or the Intro[duction] Scout.
Story Intro Scouts usually occur from the 26th day of the month (or 17hrs after the 2nd event of the month ends) to the 3rd or 4th day of the next month (roughly 7-8 days each). The only notable exceptions being the Valkyrie and Switch scouts, and the Subaru Story Intro Scout.
*Story Introduction Scouts usually occur every month or so and will always introduce a 4★ card of a specific character.
**There will also be three new 3★ cards that will appear with the addition of this Scout. All of the cards released in the Gacha are unrelated, and each come with their own individual story chapter(s). As such, Story Intro Scouts do not have a cohesive theme or story.
*Cards from this scout will not give any Gacha boosts during an Event.
*New characters often will get a Story Introduction Scout some time after they are introduced to the game. These cards function as their Initial/Starter cards when choosing their Unit at the start of the game.
*Unlike Limited Scouts, these cards are added right away to the main pool as soon as they are released.
*In this Scout, the new cards will have a boosted chance of appearing.
**Cards from past Story Scouts also have a chance of appearing; however, cards from past Limited Scouts do not.
See a list of past Story Introduction Scouts here.
|-|
Diamond Scout=
Also referred to as Regular or Dia Scout/Box.
*This is the normal scouting pool where all Gacha cards eventually end up. In this box, you can draw from a pool of 3★, 4★, & 5★ cards.
**4★ & 5★ cards only have a small chance (6.5% and 1.5%, respectively) of appearing.
*For the first 10x Scout of every new month, your pull will contain at least one 4★ or above card, guaranteed. Cards from Limited Scouting are put in the Diamond Scout pool after a span of 2-3 events (~1 month).
*When it is a #Character's Birthday, scouting in this box will guarantee you 5 cards of that character per pull.
**Birthday Scouts do not only contain cards of the birthday character. Even if you have the 4★ guarantee, you can still pull any 4★ in the pool.
*Any free Gacha campaigns, such as Free 10x Scouts or guaranteed 5★ Scouts, will be effective on this box only.
|-|
3★ Producer Point Scout=
*In the 3★ Producer Point Scout, you can only draw 3★ and 4★ cards.
**4★ cards have a very small chance of being scouted.
*It takes 10,000 Producer Points to Scout once, and allows the player to do a 10x Scout for 100,000 Producer Points.
Note: There is no difference in rarity rates whether you scout once or 10x in the Scout. There are also no rarity guarantees either. Therefore, there is no advantage to saving 100,000 Producer Points to do a 10x Scout.
Beginners are encouraged to Scout in this box to build up their teams.
|-|
Producer Point Scout=
Often shortened to PP Scout.
*In a Producer Point Scout, only 1★, 2★, 3★ (very small chance), and a extremely small chance (.02%) of 4★ cards may be drawn from the scout.
*It takes 100 Producer Points to scout once, and allows the player to do a 10x Scout for 1000 Producer Points.
</tabber>
===How to check Scouting History===
On the Scouting page look for the small white button at the top-left area next to the Back button.
A window showing your 5 latest scouts will pop-up which you can click to see what cards you obtained in each one.
==Character's Birthday==
A banner will be displayed on the home screen, so you'll know if the campaign is active.
*You are guaranteed to get 5 cards of that character when scouting in the Diamond Scout box.
*Their idol roads will take less jewels to unlock nodes.
*A Birthday voice clip will automatically be unlocked.
*You will get double Intimacy Points for them in Intimate Events.
*Setting the character as the leader will give a 10% unit bonus in a specific attribute.
*A Birthday Course and new talk events will be available from the character's birthday banner.
See the Birthdays page for a list of birthdays.
==Your Birthday==
The above banner will be displayed on the home screen, so you'll know if the campaign is active.
*The game will wish you happy birthday as you log in. Clicking on the blackboard, which says "Producer! Come to the auditorium ☆ -Subaru", it will play a sequence of birthday greetings.
*You will obtain 30 Diamonds, 250 Star Medals, 250 Yumecoins, 30 of each Large Jewel, 50 of each Medium Jewel, and 100 of each Small Jewel.
*You are guaranteed to get one 5☆ by scouting in the designated birthday box for 135 dia.
*All idol roads will take less jewels to unlock nodes.
*A Birthday voice clip will unlocked for every character.
*You will get double Intimacy Points for everyone in Intimate Events.
*Management times are halved.
See the Birthdays page for more details.
==Events==
Example of an Event Banner
The main gameplay feature of Ensemble Stars.
Events are special periods where new cards are released following a specific theme. They usually focus on one or two specific Units or multiple characters.
The cards released during an Event tend to be much stronger than normal cards and often come with special outfits as well.
Events follow a ranking system where you have to complete in Lives to gather Event points in order to improve your ranking against other players.
Aside from the ranking system, there are also set Event point rewards (such as event cards and recovery items) that you gain at different point tiers.
Ranking rewards are slightly different in that they are not at set points and depend on the ranking that you achieved at the end of the Event period.
Cards obtained by ranking are often are much stronger than cards you can get from scouting or Event point rewards.
Note that if your card album is over capacity, you will not be able to defeat any event lives. As such, keep a space open in your album during events. See here for how to store cards in your album.
Events occur every 15 days and last for 10 days. Once it's over, there are five days until the next event starts.
For more information about Events see the Event Guide.
==Revival Events==
For now please see here or Revival Event Guide for an explanation of Revival Events.
==Errors==
How to solve various error messages that occur in-game.
*This error states that you have too many cards on-hand.
**Solve it by going to your cards (either by tapping the yellow button on the error or the usual method), pressing on the "add to album" (アルバム保存) button, and selecting some cards to put into your album until you have fewer than the limit listed near the top left of your screen (ex. 145/144, left being "cards on-hand" and right being "limit").
*This error states that you cannot change your current lesson team because you are currently in a lesson.
**Solve it by completing or quitting whichever lesson you are in the middle of at the time. You will be able to change your lesson team once finished.
*This error states that the lesson team you were editing is unsaved. This error often follows the previous one, and can be triggered when trying to exit the page after receiving it.
**Solve it by pressing the blue button on the error (保存する). If you are currently in a lesson, however, this will instead trigger the previous error. Solve it by pressing the red cancel button (破棄する) on the error to discard your changes. To be able to change your team, you must complete or quit whichever lesson you are in the middle of.
*This error states that you failed to connect to the server, and to move to a place with better connection.
**There is no distinct way to solve this error, but several ways can help. Either go to a place with better connection, see if there are any issues with your internet (restarting or reconnecting may help), or just keep trying; sometimes it will start working again after a bit.
*This error states that something unexpected has occurred.
**There is mostly no way to move forward once this error occurs. The easiest way, and usually necessary way, to solve it is to close the app and then open it again. If in a lesson, you can get around the error by quitting/pausing the lesson, because trying to tap different locations won't help.
