Live

The Live Menu (ライブメニュー) can be accessed by clicking the Live (ライブ) button on the bottom right of the Home screen. This is where you can access the rhythm game. On this screen, there are three main areas to play Lives. For more information on each of the areas, visit their respective pages.

Free Live: Select songs to play from your collection.
Battle of the Bands: Challenge other players to earn VS. Points.
Dark Monster Battle: Battle against summoned Dark Monsters found in your Town or those sent to you from friends and other players.

It's also possible to access ongoing and recently ended Events under Event Information (イベント情報) at the bottom right of the screen.

Gameplay

To clear a Live, you must successfully hit enough notes to pass the score requirement, while keeping your Life above 0.

Depending on your timing, a note can receive one of the following judgements: MISS, BAD, GOOD, GREAT, and PERFECT. BAD and MISS hits will reduce your Life and will break your combo. By default, GOOD, GREAT, and PERFECT will contribute to your combo, but you can change what note judgements count toward your combo through the Challenge Settings.

There are three types of notes in the rhythm game:

Tap Notes: Notes that you must tap once it hits the line on the bottom of the screen.
Hold Notes: Notes that you must tap and hold until the end of the note line. These notes sometimes require shifting from one lane to another mid-note.
Flick Notes Notes that you must flick. These notes are shaped as arrows and indicate the direction they should be flicked.

During a Live, bromides in the Member row of your Band Formation will use various skills during the song. When a bromide activates a skill, the bromide's illustration will show up on the side of the screen and the character will say a voice line. This feature can be turned off in the Live Settings.
