BanG Dream! Our Notes game modes

Solo LIVE is a single-player LIVE mode where you play using the Band formed in "Band Formation." Select any song and difficulty to play, and earn rewards by achieving Socre Ranks or specific Combo counts.

About Plays and LIVE Boost (LB)

No items are required to play, so you can play as many times as you want. Also, using LIVE Boost (LB) can increase the amount of Clear rewards earned.

About Menu Controls During LIVE

During play, you can "Pause," "Retry," or "Quit" from the Menu in the top right of the screen.

This feature lets you earn Clear rewards without playing the rhythm game. It can only be used in Free LIVE, and has a daily use limit. When using Skip, you can earn rewards equivalent to Socre Rank "C."

Notes on Using Skip

・Songs will not count as Cleared. ・Records such as High Scores will not be updated.

A multiplayer mode where up to 5 Players can gather and enjoy LIVE together.

You can play "GEKISO LIVE," where you can casually play GEKISO through free matchmaking or Room recruitment.

Players compete for rankings based on their performance and score during GEKISO, where all players are given the same objective.

During Multi LIVE, "GEKISO" occurs during certain sections. All players are given the same objective and compete for ranking based on that objective. GEKISO occurs 3 times during each song.

GEKISO Types

The following objectives will appear depending on the GEKISO type set for the song. - JUST: Compete based on the number of JUST Hits earned. Just Hits require even higher accuracy than PERFECT. - COMBO: Compete based on your highest COMBO count during the GEKISO section. - LUCK: Fill the gauge by operating Notes, and compete for the highest total of randomly drawn "LUCK Pts."

GEKISO Bonus

A GEKISO Bonus is added to your score based on your ranking in each GEKISO section. The higher you rank in GEKISO, the greater your advantage in competing for the overall LIVE ranking.

A mode where up to 5 players can play together and compete. Since wins and losses do not affect Rank Points, you can join casually.

Each participant selects one song as a candidate, then one song is chosen at random from among them. If you select "Quick Start," the song will be drawn from the songs selected by the other players.

*If all players select "Quick Start," the song will be drawn from all songs.

In GEKISO LIVE, two different Scores are calculated at the same time, each with a different purpose.

GEKISO LIVE Score

The combined score of all participants. It is affected by GEKISO Bonuses and is used as the basis for LIVE rewards.

Free LIVE Score

The player's individual score. It is not affected by GEKISO Bonuses, and is used for records such as High Scores and for determining mission completion.

Clear rewards are granted to all players based on the rank of the total score of all participants. You can also earn additional reward slots by placing 1st overall or in each GEKISO section.

GEKISO Sections occur 3 times per LIVE, and there are the following 3 types. You can check the type of GEKISO Section assigned to a song when selecting it.

- JUST: Compete based on the number of JUST HITs within the section. JUST HITs are added only during the section, and your Score increases based on the number of JUST HITs.

- COMBO: Compete based on the maximum Combo count within the section. Your Score increases based on the Combo count within the section.

- LUCK: Compete based on the total LUCK Pts within the section. Hitting Notes during the section fills the Trigger Gauge, and your Score increases based on the draw result.

■ How to Play

In JUST GEKISO Sections, a JUST HIT—which ranks above PERFECT—is added when Notes are judged. Players compete based on the number of JUST HITs. Since the timing window is extremely strict, make use of the "GEKISO Skills and GEKISO Support" held by your Members and Snapshots.

GEKISO Skills include skills that activate during each JUST, COMBO, or LUCK GEKISO Section.

Depending on the skill, you can gain an advantage in each respective section.

Another Story

A story where you can view deeper episodes connected to specific episodes. To unlock one, you must have viewed the previous episode and meet the following condition: - The target character's Character Rank is at or above the required rank.

Enjoy stories focused on specific pairs of Characters. New stories are unlocked by raising the "Bond Rank" between the two target characters.

How to Raise Bond Rank

When you Clear LIVE, Bond Rank increases between the "Leader" and each of "the other members" in your formation. *Bond Rank does not increase between members other than the Leader.

This feature automatically performs practice even when you're not playing, accumulating Reward Items and various EXP. You can collect all accumulated Rewards at any time.

Studio Practice is divided by band. Each band has its own "Practice Time" counter, and as time progresses, rewards accumulate individually for each band.

About Reward Accumulation Timing

Rewards accumulate every 10 minutes of Practice Time.

About Practice Time Reset and Overflow Time

When you claim rewards, the Practice Time resets. *Rewards will not accumulate until the accumulation timing has passed.

If the Practice Time exceeds the limit and enters "Overflow Time," the reward acquisition efficiency decreases. To maintain reward efficiency, we recommend claiming rewards regularly.

Practice Time and Overflow Time are counted together for up to 24 hours, and rewards accumulate.

When the "Practice EXP" earned as rewards from Studio Practice accumulates, the band's "Practice Lv." increases. As your Practice Lv. increases, the amount of rewards earned per hour increases, allowing you to gather rewards more efficiently. *The maximum Practice Time is extended according to your T.G.W CARD Rank.

About the Practice Lv. Limit

The limit for Practice Lv. can be unlocked by raising the corresponding band's "Band Rank."

By watching ads or using exclusive items, you can instantly claim rewards for a certain amount of time.

About Ad Viewing Limit

There is a daily limit on the number of times you can use the time-saving feature by watching ads.

This is where excess "Pieces" and "Snapshots" beyond the maximum required number for Awakening and Limit Breaking are stored. Excess items in Storage can be converted into "Star Stickers."

"Star Stickers" can be used to exchange for items at a dedicated Exchange Shop.

When you obtain a duplicate member that you already own, the second and subsequent copies will be automatically converted into "Member Pieces." Member Pieces are items that can be used for Member Awakening.

In the Storage, you can select excess Pieces and Snapshots beyond the required number and convert them into "Star Stickers." *Only "Excess Pieces and Snapshots" (those beyond the amount needed for Awakening and Limit Breaking) are stored and displayed in the Storage.

Converted Star Stickers can be exchanged for items such as Gacha Tickets at the "Star Sticker Exchange Shop."

"T.G.W CARD" is a system that grants various benefits based on your rank. All players start at "T.G.W CARD Rank 1" and can raise their rank by accumulating points. Once a rank has been raised, it will never reset or decrease.

Points for raising your T.G.W CARD Rank (T.G.W CARD Pts) can be obtained in the following ways: - Daily free claim (once per day) - Spending Stars (such as on gacha pulls) *The Pts you can earn differs depending on the type of Star consumed (Paid / Free).

Raising your T.G.W CARD Rank unlocks various benefits and enhances existing effects, such as:

- Higher LIVE Boost Auto-Recovery Cap and faster Recovery Speed - Better Studio Practice Rewards and longer Practice Time Limit - More Band Formation save slots - All Parameters Up in Formations - Free pulls on the Event Gacha - "Daily Rewards" you can claim each day, and more.

This feature allows you to earn various Rewards by clearing dedicated missions to collect "Pass Pts" and raise your Pass Lv.
