Here is my weekly status and giveaway. As usual, I am just doing some missions at night because I am busy during the day. I was able to do some missions during the day during the week but not as often as I would like. It's been quite busy as I start getting back to work. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway.
Fateful Confrontation
Fateful Confrontation is a battle track that I remember from the Sky Kiseki (Trials) series that takes place in Liberl. It is a general purpose boss themes and it plays during quite a few different boss battles but the one that I remember the most when it played was definitely against Renne. It was definitely one of those fights where having the right accessories to prevent status elements was key. I think the original is good but I think my favorite version of this track has to be the super arranged version.
As I said before, it kind of represents Renne who also has the nickname Angel of Slaughter. She is probably the character that I think has the most character development and her backstory is quite terrible. In Trials in the Sky 3rd chapter, she has the most memorable side-story because of how messed up it is. It just shows that Falcom isn't afraid to show the dark side of society and I would have to say that her talents was an aftereffect of those events. Deep down, she was just a kid even if she tried to portray herself as not one. She does show up in every single arc so far and the Crossbell arc developed her backstory even further. I got the picture from the wiki page for Renne.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, 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.
- 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.
