Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #179 and Kainé Salvation

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. This giveaway post is a day early but LPUD is tomorrow. So I will put this up slightly earlier. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past that I liked.

Kainé Salvation

Kainé Salvation is an OST that plays during a certain place in Nier Automata. The OST from Nier Automata is great and there are so many tracks that I like, but this one stands out the most to me. The video above with the OST also shows the place and I thought the scenery was good too. I feel bad for the main character but it just hit me hard because I felt that Emil (a minor character) was such a great character. I did play through both versions of the game (Automata and Replicant), but the stories are kind of intertwined. So I can't say which one to go first if you were to start playing fresh. I guess I would probably pick Automata first then Replicant because you would understand some more things about what happened in Automata.

I know of the character Emil. In Act 1, you can see him as the top image and you get to know him as a character. Eventually, he turns into what you see in the bottom image in Act 2, but I won't spoil why that happened. A lot of time passed between Act I and 2 though and what made him so memorable was that he made the place where the OST plays. I do think that doing the quest Emil's memories quest is worthwhile if you do play this game. The image is from the wiki page for Emil.

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

Current Status

I gained 67k STARBITS over the past week and if you add in the millionaire mission, I got around 137k. It was a pretty busy week so I wasn't able to set missions as much. I didn't get anything great from my pack openings this week.

Current Ranking

My rank dropped a bit last week. I'll just have to try better because it looks like the time played was the biggest reason why.

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.
