Stage Appeal &#8211; Your special technique which occurs during a life.<br \/>\n+For your MyChara, this is determined currently by the clothes and accessories you give them. The Green button supposedly allows you to change it based on what is available but as of this guides writing, only one skill is available.<\/p>\n<p>8.

Unit name &#8211; name your unit based on your choices!<\/p>\n<p>2. Unit skill &#8211; the unit skill is determined by whatever unit skill dominates your group.<br \/>\nThe level of the unit skill has to do with the unit skill level of the individuals but the exact calculations are not known by me. Even if all the characters don&#8217;t have the same skill high skills can raise the level.<\/p>\n<p>Higher levels are better of course, but what exactly the group skill does is not something I currently know either.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Unit Skill are based on the real life group the idol is in, and Rare and above have different level skills than their Normal level equivalents (example: A Momusu Normal will have Gambatteikima&#8230;., while a Momusu Rare will have Gambattikimashoi!!)<\/p>\n<p>3. Total Cost &#8211; how much your group costs out of your limit. Raises with your level.<\/p>\n<p>4. Card List &#8211; see how many cards you have and what they are here. This is also where you can graduate (aka sell) your cards\/idols for more haro money.<\/p>\n<p>5. Power Up Lesson &#8211; Sacrifice other cards to power up your stars!<\/p>\n<p>Anytime you can see a picture of one of your cards\/idols you can hold down on it to open the profile for that idol<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a name=\"Groups\"><\/a>Forming Groups<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nForming group has 5 front line performers and 5 sub-group members bringing the total up to 10. Your MyChara\/Avatar must be in your group to use them!<\/p>\n<p>Sub-member involvement appears to be related to skill activation and use of Fever Time power up. When Fever Time occurs (every 50 combo) your sub-members power is added to your members power in that position. Sub-members skills will also activate independently of your member.<\/p>\n<p>Sub-group members and members have compatibility with each other: neutral (equals), weak (triangle), \u00a0good (circle), really good (lots of circles). The compatibility with other members gives boosts to the time which a skill lasts for, having greater compatibility in general makes skill activation better. As you level up your characters the compatibility can go up between characters and currently it seems like characters with the same skills are likely to be compatible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a name=\"Profiles\"><\/a>Idol Profile<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nSee info about the current Card\/Idol you have selected as well as an image of the card.

Name &#8211; the Idols name<\/p>\n<p>3. Protect &#8211; the lock icon can be clicked to protect the card. When protected this icon will be orange and look like a closed lock. Locked cards cannot be graduated or sacrificed in lessons, good idea to lock the cards you love!<\/p>\n<p>4. Cost &#8211; how much it will cost to use this Idol in your group. Rarer costs more!<\/p>\n<p>5. Appeal &#8211; Same as MyChara\/Avatar, base points earned for hitting notes in lives.<\/p>\n<p>6. Fans &#8211; Same as MyChara\/Avatar, base hit points added to your group<\/p>\n<p>7. Limit Break &#8211; Similar to MyChara\/Avatar, for Idol cards the Limit Break will raise the level cap of the card allowing it to gain more appeal and fans. In order to level break a card, you will need to sacrifice a copy of one to another (ex. Using a Rare Sayu card as a sacrifice to another Rare Sayu card will Limit Break once!). A card may have it&#8217;s limit broken 5 times!<\/p>\n<p>8. Stage Appeal &#8211; their in live skill, the games help file says it&#8217;s 1 of 2, but I&#8217;ve seen 3 different types ((High)Tension, Positive Heart, and Cure Heart) Levels vary from 1 &#8211; 10. Only skill I know the effect of is Positive Heart which supposedly softens damage from making mistakes around the time it&#8217;s triggered.<\/p>\n<p>9. Unit Skill &#8211; the unit ability provided by the card. Levels vary from 1 &#8211; 10. Mainly each group (Momusu, Berryz, C-ute, Suma, and J=J) have different unit skills. Normal cards have stunted versions of unit skills that don&#8217;t count as the same as the version in Rare and up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<strong>!!NEW!!<\/strong> <a name=\"Stage Appeal\"><\/a>Stage Appeal\/Skills<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nSkills in general range from level 1 to 15 (as of the last update of this guide-ish). For non-avatar cards, combining cards with similar skills (both stage appeal and unit skills) has a chance of raising the level of skill with exact stage and unit skills being most effective.

Results &#8211; this will show how much experience the card will get and if any limit breaks will happen. Note the Haro value on the bottom is how much it will cost to do the lesson.

Run Lesson &#8211; POWER UP TIME!<\/p>\n<p>Note: Lessons are not the best way to level up a card as they cost heavy for what eventually barely adds any experience to the card. Lessons currently are more for powering up skills and causing limit breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Skills<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nCurrently the exact formulas for skill ups are not known but by feeding cards of at least one rarity below the current card or better with the same skill to your target card you have a chance to power up your target cards skills.<\/p>\n<p>In experimentation I&#8217;ve taken a Level 1 rare and fed it a copy of it&#8217;s own card and 9 other cards with similar skills which raised it&#8217;s skills several levels, but at the same time at high levels it takes 2 rares of the same type to raise a level 1. In other words I have no idea what the formula is.<\/p>\n<p>!!NEW!! Unconfirmed experimentation. While you&#8217;re more likely to gain the skill ups from feeding characters with the same skills, it might be that group compatibility plays a factor in the likelihood of enhancing skills, as using characters with no stage appeal skill can provide stage appeal skill raises.<\/p>\n<p>Limit Breaks<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nGiving copies of the same card to your target card will cause a limit break, raising the level cap of the card (ex: give Rare Sayu another Rare Sayu and rejoice!). Since duplicate cards will have the same skills this is a sure fire way to raise a cards skills as well. If you can save up the 5 cards needed to complete the limit break and some other cards with the same skills you could max their skills with some luck!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a name=\"Lives\"><\/a>Lives<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nTime to actually play, the musics running and you have to tap the circles when the markers reach them!

For example if a hard song costs 50 it&#8217;s easy version\u00a0costs 10, playing the easy version 5 times and getting the same rank will give you the same amount of base experience and haro-money. I you play the easy version 5 times you will have 5 times the chances for drops. Some items are easier to get on hard though, so balancing between that is up to you.<\/p>\n<p>-Remember that song drops are based on the rank (E-SS) that you get for the song (at this time of the game, last updated 15\/01\/06). Some items (usually considered weaker) are only obtainable getting lower ranks (up to A) and some items require scoring better for better chances (SS).<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a name=\"Links\"><\/a>Links to Other People&#8217;s Things<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n-Since events are happening over and over, and it&#8217;s getting harder to update this guide, I&#8217;ll link you to some other sources which may update more frequently or with more information that I haven&#8217;t included.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/hptaplive.wikia.com\/wiki\/Hello_Pro_Tap_Live_Wiki\">A Hello!Pro Tap Live Wiki (English)<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/hptaplive.wiki.fc2.com\/\">A \u30cf\u30ed\u30d7\u30ed\u30bf\u30c3\u30d7\u30e9\u30a4\u30d6 Wiki (Japanese) <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nThank you for enjoying Casual guide version 1.05, the first and probably last full length guide I&#8217;m gonna do for this, and your starting point for if you want to play but have no idea how to.
