Glowslinging Strategy Guide

Unlocking Glowslinging

Requirements

1) Mr Smith
2) The Glow OR "Glowslinger" Permanent Effect at BillyCon (just one of them is needed).
3) a lot of Levels in Rave-related skills.
4) Having visited Raging-Passionate-Melody in the Fields (R00t content) at any Season.

Getting "Rising Star"

This isn't difficult, but it can be very time-consuming.
1) Grind BillyCon for Rave-related Skills that are

Artsiness	Wrangling	Posing	Rocking
Silence	Dance	Drama	Videogaming
Macking	Chillaxing

* Getting just one of them to Level 4 will help greatly.

2) Get more score-enhancing stuffs. They are:

Full Cosplay Effect	Gained by wearing Head part, Body Part, and Prop part of any Cosplay, bought from the Dealer's Room. They do not have to match.
Prime Target	Gained by winning the Video Game Tournament or just being in them enough.
Case of Glowsticks	Can be bought at the Dealer's Room.

3) Always get 15 Sleep (some Flipping Out Levels will also help). The case of energy drinks can help to keep your Sleep high.

4) On the day you attempt to get Rising Star, Ignore all Main Events before Rave, and try to get as much Cool as you can.

After getting Rising Star

With the Rising Star Permanent Effect, wait till next BillyCon, and get into Billy Idol. As long as you've visited Raging-Passionate-Melody and have the Rising Star, an Event will occur, and you'll get 'The Light Fantastic Permanent Effect.'

Note: At this point, IF you don't have the Glow (and you cant get one soon), then I suggest you to Grind and Level up your Rave-Related Skills (2-4 Lvl4+ Rave-related skills is recommended and most level 3. The more level 4 skills, the easier it will be) to aim for more score to get Glowslinger Permanent Effect at the Rave (1600 or more points with having Rising Star).

Light Fantastic, Mr. Smith, the Glow

Having The Light Fantastic and Mr Smith will unlock the quest The Light Fantastic.
To finish this quest, you simply need The Glow or the Glowslinger Permanent Effect.

Finishing this Quest will unlock Glowslinging and an Overworld Theme Power of Sound that gives +1 Glowslinging Attack Levels. Make sure to set this before starting Glowslinging.

General Strategy

Introduction

Glowslinging is a highly skill-based, as well as chance-based, content area. The strategies that you will (probably) be using will focus on minimising the impact the dice rolls will have on your fighting. It is also a very rewarding area. It gives you the Billy Idol Bosses' items - remember to actually challenge them when you're strong enough - and a nice Appetite bonus, increasing with the difficulty of the turf you're fighting on.

Useful things to have

Obtain the kaiju drops Noble Phantasm (1 Glowslinging Ability Steal Reroll per day) and Control Rod (+1 Glowslinging fights) as soon as possible. Buy all three levels of the Awesome Ability Dramatic Battler. Put Big Ro Lvl 2 in your dayroll team for an extra duel. Get the Glowslinger Billycon Permanent Effect (+1 Glowslinging fights) from the Rave. Doing this will make this content area much easier, because without these boosts you only get 2 fights a day. I mean, really, two fights? It'll take forever even to get out of the Playground.

Required allies

As you progress, you will need the allies Bruce Sr, Nadeshiko, and Lil Ro Lvl 2 in that order, as well as Mr Smith, whom you will already have since he's a requirement for the unlock quest. Until you have obtained these allies, their respective areas will be locked to you. See Glowslinging for information on which allies unlock which areas.

Effects of Attack Skills and Trivia

Alpha Cancel

Alpha Cancel
Gives +1 Damage, if it hits the enemy (the sum of your dice rolls is higher than theirs), and +1 Risk to you, regardless.
Use this when the opponent has high Risk and/or you've just used Tech Punish. If you use Tech Punish a lot, this move is useful for crushing the opponent's counter Wake-Up Reversal. It also helps to have a high Spin before you use this move, to make sure you won't be left too disadvantaged afterwards.
Beats Guard Crush and crushes Wake-Up Reversal.
This term comes from Street Fighter, in an move called Alpha Counter, where you can press a button at the right moment to block an attack and hit the opponent back. It's a very risky move, though, just like this one. "Cancelling" is also a more general term in fighting games, where an attack animation can be interrupted to switch tactics and take an opponent off-guard.

Frame Advantage

Frame Advantage
Gives +1 Spin.
Use this when you don't know what the opponent is going to do next, or when you think the opponent's going to use Alpha Cancel. This move isn't usually used to crush, unless you use Wake-Up Reversal a lot (who does that?)
The best all-purpose move, especially if you're using Strategy 1. Still useful in Strategy 2, but used more sparingly.
Beats Tech Punish and crushes Alpha Cancel.
This term comes from fighting games in general. It refers to a state of being, which you should be in as much as possible. Being at frame advantage lets you do all kinds of nifty tricks like strings, links, frametraps, etc. Moves that leave you at frame advantage are moves that the opponent takes longer to block than you do to recover from. If someone tries to alpha counter when you are at frame advantage, you hit them instead - which is why Frame Advantage crushes Alpha Cancel.

Guard Crush

Guard Crush
Gives -1 Spin to your opponent. If you use Alpha Cancel a lot (don't), use this to crush the opponent's Frame Advantage. Use this when you think the opponent doesn't know what you're doing next, or wants to crush your Alpha Cancel.
Beats Wake-Up Reversal and crushes Frame Advantage.
This term also comes from fighting games where throws aren't allowed. It refers to hitting your opponent with attacks until their guard bar is empty and they can't block any more.

Tech Punish

Tech Punish
Gives +1 Risk to your opponent.
A very useful move. The staple move of Strategy 2, and used to crush the opponent's moves in Strategy 1. Because it's countered easily by Wake-Up Reversal, expect the opponent to use WR a lot, which you can then crush with Alpha Cancel for tons of damage.
Beats Alpha Cancel and crushes Guard Crush.
Teching, in fighting games, is when you roll on the ground after you fall down before getting up. As the opponent cannot hit you until you get up, out of some kind of misguided chivalry (or overly short arms?), this gives you a chance to get some distance away from the opponent.
Tech Punish, in this context, refers to the practice of predicting when the opponent rolls and getting ready for them, leading to great frustration on the part of your opponent.

Wake-Up Reversal

Wake-Up Reversal
Gives you -1 Spin, but also -2 Risk.
The only way to recover from having Risk. It's especially advantageous if your Spin is 0, since you won't suffer the -1 Spin effect.
Beats Frame Advantage and crushes Tech Punish.
Reversals in fighting games are attacks that are invulnerable - the opponent cannot hit you while you're doing them. They are used for countering your opponent when they aren't letting you catch your breath. To compensate for their special property, they usually take a long time to recover from - which leaves you defenseless if they're blocked. Probably because of this, Alpha Cancel crushes Wake-Up Reversal.
Wake-Up Reversal thus means a move that specifically counters tech punishing in fighting games - using a reversal when your opponent tries to hit you the moment you get up. Appropriately, Wake-Up Reversal crushes Tech Punish.

Basic Mechanics

Each round, both sides roll a number of dice equal to their levels in the skills they've chosen. The range of the dice is 6 plus their Spin, minus their Risk if they've used that skill before. The dice are added up and the side that rolls highest does damage to the other side. Using a skill that beats an opponent's skill adds 1 to your roll, one that crushes adds 2. Base damage is 1, crushing gives +1 damage, using the same skill gives -1 damage. The average total when rolling a number of dice is levels*range/2. Thus, Spin and Risk get increasingly important as your levels go up.

The skill the AI will use most is the skill that crushes the skill you use most often. For example, if you use Frame Advantage all the time, the AI will use Guard Crush most of the time. Then you can switch to Tech Punish after a while and crush them like a sick RPS master. After a while, they will switch to using Wake-Up Reversal most, and you can start Alpha Cancelling them into oblivion. This is the basis of the crush styles, the two strategies you will see further down the page.

More importantly, keep your Spin up and Risk down and your opponents' Risk up and Spin down. This lets you do damage regularly even when you're not crushing them. Spin increases your range and Risk decreases it, but Risk only acts on skills you've already used at least once. When your Spin and your opponent's Risk are high, any attack you use will be very likely to hit. The AI will also act to do this, to an extent. You can use this to predict their actions, like using Alpha Cancel when their Risk is high to crush their Wake-Up Reversal.

Move Sequences

A full set of easy strategies. If you get good enough, you'll want to make your own variations on these.

Sequence 1

Tech Punish until the Opponent's Risk is 2 or 3, then crush with Alpha Cancel. Wake-Up Reversal is used to reduce the Risk from AC.

TheTP is used to bait a Wake-Up Reversal from the opponent while minimizing their dice rolls by raising their Risk, and AC is then used to crush it for high damage. Overhead Smash (AC does +1 Damage), stolen from the Playground, is useful for this strategy, making you do much more damage with your move crushes. Roundhouse (+2 Levels on Crush) from Ice Cream Line At The Buffet is also useful.

This strategy is most useful in the early turfs, from Playground until Parking Lot. Early on, the bonus damage and points for your dice roll are much more significant, as is the damage bonus from Alpha Cancel. Note: It may take some time for the AI to start responding to your baiting. It learns slowly.

Sequence 2

Frame Advantage to a Spin of 3, then use Tech Punish until your Spin falls back to 1, then repeat. Wake-Up Reversal is used to reduce your Risk.

Having a high Spin baits Guard Crushes from your opponent, which you counter with your Tech Punish followup. In addition, increasing your Spin and your Opponent's Risk maximizes your dice rolls and minimizes the opponent's.

This strategy is most useful in the middle turfs, from Parking Lot to Rickety Bridge. It should not be used in Dramatic Cliff, because having any Spin in that turf is bad.

Sequence 3

Spam Tech Punish. Repeat until the opponent is dead. Wake-Up Reversal is used to reduce your Risk.

This strategy is most useful starting from Dramatic Cliff, when you shouldn't have any Spin, and becomes obsolete when you steal Weighted Weapons (Frame Advantage gets +1 Spin) from Traintop.

Sequence 4

Spam Frame Advantage ad nauseum. Wake-Up Reversal is used to reduce your Risk. (notice a pattern here?)

This strategy is useful after you get Weighted Weapons from Traintop. The massively high Spin will help you get a dice advantage most of the time, and your opponent will usually be unable to catch up. It's very important to keep your Risk as low as possible, though. WR as soon as it hits 2.

The AI will most frequently use the move that crushes the move you use most. For example, if you're just starting out in the Playground with Strategy 1, you can use Tech Punish three times in a row without the opponent trying to crush you with Wake-Up Reversal. As you continue using the strategy, later on, you can use Alpha Cancel anytime and have a good chance of crushing a WR.

Leveling up Attack and Talent Skills

Level your skills according to the move sequence for the area you are in. For example, if you're using Sequence 1, level Tech Punish and Alpha Cancel first, and only raise the other skills if you need to. You will need to raise Glowsticking to level your attack skills.

Flipping Out should be at least as high as your weakest attack skill. Dance is useful for reducing the time you need to spend grinding Talent, and should be raised most unless it becomes cheaper to level your other skills and start fighting on a new turf. Flipping Out gives +2 HP with each level, while Dance gives +10% Talent per level. Both skills are also Rave skills, so you will naturally get better at the Rave by progressing through Glowslinging.

Recommended Abilities and EX Attacks

To steal an ability, fight the indicated opponent while equipping Hit Confirm and win. This gives you a 20% chance to steal the ability. MikuMiku abilities (the ones that start with the word "MikuMiku") cannot be stolen. If you have the kaiju drop Noble Phantasm, your first steal attempt of the day another chance to steal it if it fails. Each failure gives you an extra +5% to your next steal attempt in that area (NOT only on the same ability). When you successfully steal any ability in that area, your extra bonus is gone. If you're trying to steal a move and you meet an opponent with the wrong move, throw the fight.

Your EX Gauge increases by 20-60 each round. 100 Gauge is 1 EX. The EX Gauge is completely filled at 3 EX, or 300. As it fills up, you can use it to perform EX Attacks, which will use up varying amounts of the EX Gauge. The amount of EX Gauge increase you and your opponent get each round varies according to this table.

What happens	You get	Opponent gets
You get crushed	60	20
You get beat (beaten?)	40	20
Mirror move	20	20
You beat your opponent	20	40
You crushed your opponent	20	60

For more information on what all the other abilities not mentioned here do, scroll down to the area in which you get them and check the Loot sections.

Important note

Remember to equip the 11000 Talent abilities that don't require a slot. They do NOT equip automatically. Some of them are extremely strong, and the others are still very useful. They're essentially permanent boosts.

AutoSmash

A new part of this content, added when people complained about how ridiculously long battles in the final area took.

After winning a lot in a turf, you can choose to "auto-win" duels.

• When you win a battle in an area, no matter how many fights you spent on it, you get 1 Streak. This continues until you have 11 Streak.
• When you lose / don't finish a battle in an area, and you have less than 11 Streak in that area, you lose all your Streak in that area.
• if you have 11 Streak in an area, you may choose as your attack to A: set your opponent's HP to zero with your attack AND B: turn off the perfect victory bonus AND C: turn off the nail-biter bonus, by selecting 'AutoSmash'.

Getting the Nailbiter bonus (finishing a fight with 2 or less HP) also makes you lose your streak.

This guide is not up to date for AutoSmash, but the main difference in strategy is that you can now equip your strongest fighting Skills for the first 11 Duels, then switch to a weak steal setup for stealing skills, like Hit Confirm with Poke/Rushdown/Pursuit Attack/Royal Wave/Discerning Eye in order of usefulness, depending on which ones you have. Note that Final Stage will not give extra Talent from Nailbiter in AutoSmashed duels.

Turfs

Researchers needed for this section, especially Turf 5 onwards. Add in your own tips, don't delete anything that's already there, even if you think it's wrong.

Turf 1: Playground

This turf serves as a simple introduction to Glowslinging. Most enemies have level 1 Attack Skills across the board with occasional level 2 stats and 5-7 HP. Enemies may have equipment at times, but they have no special moves. Odds are you have more HP than them, so have a buffer to get used to it. You won't have any moves during this turf, but you should aim to get some abilities.

Remember to equip your new Theme, Power Of Sound. It gives you +1 to all your Attack Skills, which means you'll actually have dice to roll. You know, you should keep that theme equipped every day you want to Glowsling on. Trust me.

Get in the habit of keeping your Spin high and Risk low and doing the reverse to enemies. Figuring out what they will probably do and countering it is a good way to end fights quickly. An easy early strategy is to tempt the enemy with a high Spin, and then counter their Guard Crush with Tech Punish. (ie Strategy 2. Strategy 1 is better until Parking Lot, ignore this advice.)

Make sure to get Hit Confirm and equip it, then steal C-c-c-Combo Breaker from Trash Can. To do this, fight Trash Can and win with Hit Confirm equipped.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Aerial Rave	+10 EX Gauge per move	Trash Can	Could be useful in the next few turfs, when you get some good EX attacks.	In the Japanese version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, air combos are called Aerial Raves.
C-C-C-Combo Breaker	+1 Level if took damage last turn	Trash Can	Very useful. Refer to Recommended Abilities section.	In fighting games, a combo is a series of attacks done on an opponent, each hitting before they can recover from the last one. In the 1994 arcade fighting game Killer Instinct, a player could utilize a special move to stop their opponent from completing a combo attack. This would make ’C-C-C-Combo Breaker!" appear on the screen. The term began appearing on the web in April 2004, when the first YTMND site with the phrase was created with an audio clip from the game.1
Overhead Smash	Alpha Cancel does +1 Damage	Trash Can	Useful. Refer to Recommended Abilities section.	An overhead smash is a move that cannot be blocked low.
Poi Cables	Wake-Up Reversal removes 1 more Risk, if you have it	Defeat boss	Mostly useless unless you're the type to accumulate lots of Risk.	Poi is a performance art from the Māori people of New Zealand, similar to glowsticking but without the glow. You're probably tying the poi flax strings to your glowsticks for extra reach.
Mr Smith Lvl 2	+1 to all attack skills	Defeat boss	Always put him in your team when glowslinging.	Mr. Smith Lvl 2's Glowslinging persona is a cross between Agent K from MiB (Noisy Cricket and Flashy Thing EX moves) and Archer from Fate/Stay Night (Limited Blade Works passive ability).

Boss

The Playground boss, Bully, has levels 4/3/4/4/4 for his Attack Skills and 8 HP. Getting to all level 2 Attack Skills and having the Power of Sound theme active should be sufficient to beat him down. Before that, it's quite difficult due to his significant dice advantage. C-c-c-Combo Breaker can also really help keep the tide going in your favor.

Mr Smith

Name	Description	Price	Useful?	Trivia
Hit Confirm	20% Chance to steal a non-MikuMiku move in a non-boss fight(stacks)	100 Talent, from Mr. Smith	Definitely (see Recommended Abilities section)	A hit confirm in fighting game terms is to start a combo only when you've confirmed that the first move hit instead of being blocked or missing completely.
Discerning Eye	+11% Talent	200 Talent, from Mr. Smith	With the new addition of AutoSmash, this becomes much more useful. Buy it when you can afford it and equip it for smash battles.	I guess you're ogling your opponent really closely to check out their moves.

Mr Smith Lvl 2

Name	Description	Price	Useful?	Trivia
Noisy Cricket	+3 to Attack Total, 1EX	200 Talent	Best EX move for now.	The Noisy Cricket is a gun from the Men In Black series. It makes a sound like a cricket when fired.2
Flashy Thing	Set all move uses to zero, 3EX	500 Talent	Can be used to avoid Risk, but you're supposed to keep your Risk under control anyway. Besides, only works once. 3EX is far too expensive.	A reference to the neuralyser, also from Men In Black. It has the ability to wipe the mind of anybody who sees it flash. One of the agents called it "the flashy thing" in a movie.

Turf 2: Ice Cream Line at the Buffet

Most enemies at this turf have level 4 across the board, with occasional level 3s. To match them make sure to have Smith Lvl. 2 in your party when fighting along with level 2 Attack Skills and the Power of Sound theme. You will also be likely to have a slight edge in HP over the enemies. Turf 2 and 3 give you +10 Appetite, back in the BvS main game, when you do 8 fights with them as the lowest area. You do still remember you're playing BvS, don't you? ^_^

Enemies on this turf will have a passive +1 boost to their skills. If you're generally predicting their move or controlling the Spin/Risk, this won't be an issue. They also will sometimes use Dark Strike for a +5 to rolls, which is the first enemy move.

Steal Roundhouse (+2 Levels on Crush). It's powerful, especially if you're using Sequence 1.

On this turf you have access to some moves now, so make sure to get Noisy Cricket early and put your EX Gauge to use. The EX Gauge will fill up as you fight and can be used to activate EX Attacks once you have obtain them.

Boss

The Ice Cream boss, Ice Cream Headache, has 20 HP and 6/6/6/4/6 skills. He's equipping Charge (+1 Damage, -5 HP), which brings his HP down to 15 but lets him do a ton of damage. This makes him a difficult opponent. You don't have to fight him right away after unlocking the boss fight. Stay and grind a while.
Equip Overhead Smash and use Alpha Cancel often. Guard Crush him if he looks like he's going to predict you.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Practiced	1 Use does not activate Risk	Selfish Lady	Not useful. You'll be keeping your Risk down anyway, and you'll need to use your moves more than twice.	If you practice at videogames, you get better, I guess? Other than that, I got nothing.
Roundhouse	+2 Levels on Crush	Selfish Lady	Very useful. Refer to the Recommended Abilities section.	A roundhouse is a kind of punch or kick where you swing your fist/foot 'round' in a full circle before hitting. It is an extremely cool move. Roundhouse kicks are featured in several fighting games. (Warning: link to TVTropes)
Charge	+1 Damage, -5 HP	Defeat boss	Basically one of the most useful equips ever until you replace it with DragonPunch (+1d3 Damage) way later. Effectively doubles your damage output.	Charging is the action of pressing and holding down a button or particular direction on the controller, usually to build up an especially powerful attack.3

Turf 3: Comic Book Store

Similar to Ice Cream Line, but enemies have 4-5 for their attack skills. Equip Charge and two other skills you've stolen so far, according to your desired playstyle. Steal Auto Guard (+5 HP) from Tokyo Joe and equip it when you can. Tokyo Joe is a tough opponent, though, because he's equipping that great item you want. Bash your head against the wall until he loses by some kind of fluke, and then scream in horror because you forgot to equip Hit Confirm. ^_^
(note: with AutoSmash, this is now no longer necessary. Follow the strategy in the AutoSmash section above.)

Priority	+1 Level on Mirror Move	Tokyo Joe	Not particularly	In fighting games, the tendency of a move to hit the opponent instead of the opponent hitting you when you both try to hit each other at once.4
Autoguard	+5 HP	Stolen from Tokyo Joe	Very useful.	In fighting game terms, a move that has a built-in block as part of it, usually the start. Also used to describe a game feature that allows a player to keep blocking linked moves even after they let go of the block button.5
Royal Wave	11% chance to not have this fight count if won	Defeat boss	Royal Wave doesn't return fights often enough to be reliable, but the extra fights that you do get are nice. When you play a MegaMatch, Royal Wave returns are rolled for each match individually, not all the matches at once. With the addition of AutoSmash, this is even more useful than before. Equip it for smash battles.	The kind of wave Queen Elizabeth does when passing a crowd in a carriage. Very classy. Using it means you know that people are already looking at you, so there's no need for a big gesture.6
Bruce Sr Lvl 2	+100 EX - one whole section of your EX bar - when in team	Levels after defeating boss	Quite. Put him in your team until you can replace him with Lil' Ro Lvl 3	???

Fang of Emptiness	+200 EX Gauge, -2 HP, 1EX	500 Talent	Mainly used for finding out your Deadly Rave combo gambit (see the Billy Idol Bosses section down there), and is useless right now because you really need what HP you do have.	???
Judgement Javelin	Damage taken is done to opponent as well, 3EX	1000 Talent	Judgement Javelin is useful for covering your butt when you're doing risky things, until you get Mystic Eyes (If Crushed, +4 Levels, 1EX) from Nadeshiko Lvl 2, which does a better job for cheaper.	???

Turf 4: Parking Lot

Doing eight or more fights in these three turfs gives you +30 Appetite.
Get Frame Advantage and Tech Punish to at least level 5
Equip Charge, Auto Guard, C-c-c-Combo Breaker (or Roundhouse)
Switch to Strategy 2 in this area.

Enemies in this area will probably have more HP than you and more levels than you. If you're not strong enough, train with megamatches back in Comic Book Store until you feel you are.

Enemies here will have an AI that will react exactly the same way to certain patterns in your attacks. If TP pushes their Risk higher than their Spin and they don't have a full or nearly-full EX bar for Shadow Focus, which reduces their Risk to 0, follow up with AC for an almost-guaranteed crush. In general, doing TP-TP-AC is reliable. Note: use at your own Risk

Sometimes, you'll come across a Slow Cart Lady with Final Stage (Starting HP is set to 1). Yay, free talent (poor thing. How depraved of you, beating up defenseless old MikuMiku.). Don't bother stealing it - sure, you can get Perfect Victory and Nail-Biter together for +60% Talent, but you're just as likely to lose. If you're strong enough to be sure of a perfect victory, you're ready for the next area and some.

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Leg Warmers	20% chance to not be affected by risk	Slow Cart Lady	I guess you could cobble together a high-Risk playstyle where you recklessly fire off Alpha Cancels at opponents - no, that's silly.	They're these wooly things that you wear on your legs that keep you warm. Old ladies wear them sometimes.
Final Stage	Starting HP is set to 1	Slow Cart Lady	Ugh, no. See above.	The last stage in whatever this refers to is probably a super-hard stage where you start with 1 HP. In the spirit of this, you could try playing through the rest of GS with 1 HP and only two ability slots. Good luck.
Hunter's Chain	+1 Range to your most-used attack	Defeat boss	Acts like an automatic +1 Spin for one of your attack skills. It's useful, but not really very powerful. More powerful than your other third slot options after Charge and Roundhouse/C-c-c-c-c-, though. Most of its usefulness comes from Dramatic Cliff onwards, where having more Spin than your opponent should be avoided.	???
Nadeshiko Lvl 2	+10 HP when in team	Levelled by defeating boss of any of these three areas	A very powerful ally that means you can finally drop that Auto Guard. Always have her in your team when Glowslinging.	As well as referencing Sunako Nakahara, her appearance and abilities reference the servant Rider from Fate/Stay Night.

Boss

The boss here is a very hard one, with 26 HP and 9/9/9/9/9. In fact, you can skip past the boss to Rooftop once you can win here regularly, and come back later when you have Nadeshiko Lvl 2.

Nadeshiko Lvl 2

Mystic Eyes	If Crushed, +4 Levels, 1EX	5000 Talent	Mystic Eyes is good for covering risky moves, like using FA when you already have a high Spin or using WR when you have high Risk. It's also useful when you're at low HP and can't afford to get hit by a crush. Essentially, Mystic Eyes makes your next move very likely to roll in your favour if you get crushed.	In Fate/stay Night, Mystic Eyes are Rider's power. Being the Gorgon, she can turn people to stone by staring at them.
Look at my Horse	See opponent's next move (100% accuracy), 3EX	2000 Talent	Look at my Horse basically gives you a free crush. It has a high EX cost, though.	The title of a catchy memetic song, in which the "horse" is sexual innuendo.

Turfs 5 and 6: Rooftop and Rickety Bridge

Equip Charge, Hunter's Chain, C-c-c-Combo Breaker (or Roundhouse)
Level most skills to 5 or more
The 4th and 5th turfs are similar to each other, but don't get Spin above 3.

These two turfs are very similar in difficulty. After gaining Limited Blade Works, or Nadeshiko Lvl 2 if you skipped the Parking Lot boss and did Rooftop without her, you can just slaughter your way through Rickety Bridge without having to pause to level.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Rooftop
Pursuit Attack	10% Chance to steal a non-MikuMiku move in a non-boss fight (stacks)	Roof Zebra	Inferior to Hit Confirm, so you'll only be using this when you want to stack them together, losing another equip slot for a better steal chance. Even then, Poke is better.	A pursuit attack apparently means three completely different things in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, Getamped 2, and Vampire Savior. Honestly?
Wavedash	+1 Damage if opponent uses the same Attack as you	Defeat boss	Useless. Merely makes up for the -1 Damage that matching moves already gives you.	A wavedash is a technique in Super Smash Bros. Melee that causes a character to slide along the ground without walking or running. It's an exploit of the physics engine. A very advanced move, heavily used in tournaments. Some characters actually use it as their main way of moving around.7
Rickety Bridge
Poke	Double chance to fight an enemy with a stealable move in a non-boss fight	African Swallow/ Bridgekeeper	Use with Hit Confirm to steal moves more quickly. You'll need to be strong enough to win with only one useable equip, though.	A poke is a fast attack, preferably with a big hitbox, that can be used to interrupt opponents' approaches or move startups.
Taunt	Start with +50 EX Gauge	Defeat boss	Also useless. Too lackluster to ever be considered for a slot.	A taunt is a move that does nothing. It's used to taunt the opponent into attacking. Some games have taunts that actually do something, which IMHO is totally missing the point, amirite?

Boss

The bosses of the two areas have the same HP, 26. SimpleMiku has 8/10/10/10/10 and BasicMiku has 11/11/9/11/11.
The items the bosses drop are also similar in their uselessness.

Stuff unlocked at 5 turfs

Name	Description	Price	Useful?	Trivia
Limited Blade Works	Cumulative +1 to Total, max +11 (does not count towards total slots)	11000 Talent (Mr. Smith Lvl 2)	Buy this as soon as possible, as the gradual pluses to your rolls give you a strong advantage. As your levels increase, +11 becomes less important. In the endgame when you'll have astronomical Spin, +11 will be nothing. But it's never going to take up a slot, so it'll always be worth it.	In Fate/something, Unlimited Blade Works is Shirou Emiya's ultimate attack. He warps reality to bring the opponent into a place where he has copies of all the swords he's ever seen before.
Eye of the Mind	Start with +100 EX Gauge (does not count towards total slots)	11000 Talent(Bruce Sr. Lvl 2)	Doesn't take up any slots, so it's definitely worth it. As you get better EX Attacks, becomes more worth it.	In Fate/stay Night, Eye of the Mind (心眼, Shingan) is an innate talent to sense and avoid danger based on intuition, that can also be called the Sixth Sense or prescience, gained through many ordeals and adventures.
My Horse Is Amazing	+20% Talent for this match (does not count towards total slots)	11000 Talent(Nadeshiko Lvl 2)	Equivalent to two levels of Dance. To maximise your talent gain, buy this when the next two levels of Dance would cost more than 11000 Talent.	A line in the song "Look At My Horse" (see Look At My Horse, Nadeshiko 2's stuff). The horse is indeed amazing. It tastes just like raisins.

Turf 7: Dramatic Cliff

Doing eight or more fights in these two turfs gives you +40 Appetite.
Enemies in these areas have MikuMiku Tango, which gives them +1d3 damage with each hit, and MikuMiku Tau, which gives another +1. That's an average of 4 damage on a normal hit, up to 8 whopping damage if they get lucky and crush you with AC. Accompanied with their EX attack Dark Whirlwind and their high HP, this makes them massively powerful opponents. The best way to progress here is to make sure you're thoroughly overlevelled beforehand.
Equip Charge, Hunter's Chain, C-c-c-Combo Breaker (or Roundhouse). Most skills should be at 7 or higher.

Dark Whirlwind gives +3 Spin for 1 EX, which is far too hax. Luckily, they will only use it in a round if your Spin is higher than theirs at the end of that round. Use WR to remove any excess Spin to avoid this. Tech Punish is the most useful move in this area.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Cross Up	+1 Damage if you did Damage last turn	Shadow (magical)	Useful. You can replace Hunter's Chain with this for now, if you feel like taking the time to steal it. Not necessary, though.	A cross-up in fighting games means attacking with a move that the opponent will be unsure how to block. For example, jumping over the opponent and hitting her on the left side instead of the right. (In many fighting games, you block by pressing the movement button in the opposite direction of where the attack came from)
Decisive Strike	If Alpha Cancel Crushes, set Risk to zero	Defeat boss	Might be useful if you want to Alpha Cancel a lot. After this point, though, Alpha Cancel's effect is mostly useless, because you're getting DragonPunch (+1d3 Damage) soon. The extra +1 Damage is negligable in all the piles of damage you'll be doing with each hit.	???
Bucketface	+2 Opponent Risk	Defeat boss of either of these areas	May be worth switching him out with Bruce Sr Lvl 2 for, depending on whether you want the extra EX or Opponent Risk more. You'll have to switch him out again when you get to areas where opponent Risk doesn't matter any more.	Bucketface is probably based on the Bleach character Sajin Komamura, who frequently wore a helmet covering his head. The reference likely doubles to refer to the rock guitarist Buckethead, who always wears a KFC bucket on his head during performances (along with a full-face mask). Bucketface's Glowslinging persona is based on Berserker from Fate/Stay Night, who wore a helmet. His picture is a cat because pre-recode BvS used that picture for allies that didn't have pictures yet.

Boss

FightingMiku, the Dramatic Cliff boss, has 38 HP and 11/11/11/11/9. Get Tech Punish to 9, spam it. Using Look At My Horse to gain free crushes against the boss is advised if you're not confident in your skill levels.

Bucketface

Name	Description	Price	Useful?	Trivia
Nine Lives	+11 HP (does not count towards total slots)	11000 Talent	Buy this as soon as you get Bucketface.	Berserker from Fate/stay Night had a special weapon called Nine Lives, but it didn't actually give him nine lives. He had this other special power called God Hand that gave him eleven extra lives. This ability is a mix of both.
Mrrrphlmrph	-2 to Damage taken this round, 1EX	5000 Talent	Use this or HMMNHPRMMMMM for covering risky moves. HMMNHPRMMMMM is preferable, because it can stop the opponent from hitting you at all, but it also costs twice the EX.	N/A
HMMNHPRMMMMM	+2 levels, 2EX	8000 Talent	A very good EX Attack, useful for any situation where you might need a power boost. Opponent catching up to you in Spin? Both of you have 1 HP left? Just got hit by Wave of Discord? This move serves you well in all these situations. Expensive, though. If you need cover for more than one turn, Mrrrphlmrph might be better.	N/A

Turf 8: Traintop

Once you start fighting in Traintop, get Weighted Weapons immediately and replace C-c-c-Combo Breaker/Roundhouse with it. Once you have it, use it twice in a match every 6 turns. This forces a Dark Whirlwind and you can immediately do a Guard Crush, but still try to keep your Spin as low as possible.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Weighted Weapons	Frame Advantage gets +1 Spin	Train Robber	Necessary. Refer to Recommended Abilities section.	Heavy things spin better and hit harder.
Fierce	+1 Level on Beat	Train Robber	Probably not worth it.	In Street Fighter 2, the punch buttons were labeled "Jab"-"Strong"-"Fierce", in order of weakest to strongest.
Dragon Punch	+1d3 Damage	Defeat boss	Definitely. Replace Charge with this, and keep it equipped all the way to the end.	The original dragon punch was the infamous Shoryuken (lit. rising dragon uppercut) from the Street Fighter games, where its users, Ryu and Ken, uppercut enemies so hard they lifted off the ground. The manliest move, so awesome it had the best priority and beat all the other moves. In the first Street Fighter, it even KO'd the opponent in one hit. All the fighting games since have imitated it, so the term dragon punch now refers to any special move that has invulnerability frames on startup.

Boss

PowerMiku, the Traintop boss, has 38 HP and 12/12/12/10/12. The main problem fighting her is that she also has Dragon Punch (+1d3 Damage), plus the extra damage bonuses from MikuMiku Tango and MikuMiku Tau, for a grand total of +2d3+1 damage. Don't let her land too many hits on you. It is recommended that you have Frame Advantage or Tech Punish at 9 or more.

Turf 9: Spire Summit

Doing eight or more fights in these turfs gives you +60 Appetite.
Have DragonPunch, Hunter's Chain, Weighted Weapons active
Most skills at 9 or higher

Enemies here are immune to Risk. Don't use Tech Punish from now till the final boss on Portal of Awesome, at all; it'll make defeating the final boss harder, in fact.
SPAM Frame Advantage. Opponents can Guard Crush you, but it won't slow you down! They will also use Wave of Discord (Both Spins set to Zero, 2EX), which will since you're mostly relying on your high Spin to keep ahead. If you use Bucketface's HMMNHPRMMMMM (+2 levels, 2EX) just when they get 2 EX filled up, you can avoid getting hit while you have 0 Spin.

Unlike PoA enemies, they won't actually Dark Whirlwind to catch up with your Spin or anything. This makes them easy opponents most of the time, except right after a Wave of Discord. Hunter's Chain is a real asset here. Nevertheless, you can probably get through this quite easily. Be careful of their Dark Wave (Permanent +2 Levels, 3EX), though. Don't let them use it more than once, or your battle will suddenly get very difficult.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Rushdown	20% Chance to steal a non-MikuMiku move in a non-boss fight (stacks)	KickingMiku or TokyoJoe	Basically another Hit Confirm that stacks with it. Better than Poke for stacking with Hit Confirm. If you're really impatient and/or overlevelled for that turf, stack all three.	A rushdown is an unrelenting string of attacks that overwhelms the opponent and pushes them back into their side of the stage. It can also be used to describe a playstyle that involves doing this.
Follow Through	+2 to any move you've done 2+ times before	Defeat boss	No. If it was +2 levels, it would be useful, but just +2 at this point is basically negligable.	Following through means to hit the opponent again before they recover. Another way to say "combo".
Lil Ro Lvl 3	+3 Spin when in team	Defeating boss of either of these areas levels her	Replace Bruce Sr Lvl 2 with her in your glowslinging team.	As well as referencing Ino Yamanaka, her appearance and abilities reference the servant Saber from Fate/Stay Night

Boss

Fairly easy. If it's not easy enough, level Frame Advantage and try it again. I don't have an exact number, edit it in if you have one. RedMiku, the boss has 49 HP and 14/12/14/14/14.

Lil' Ro Lvl 3

Name	Description	Price	Useful?	Trivia
Koi-Koi Rekka	+2 Damage on successful hit, 1EX	5000 Talent	Very. Most of the EX moves so far have been for use when you're at a disadvantage. This one, on the other hand, you can use when you're ahead in Spin for a nice damage boost. Get this right after Excalibur.	???
Kin Goku Satsu	+10 Damage / +10 Levels on successful Crush, -50% Talent, 3EX	11000 Talent	Very powerful. Its drawbacks are that you might miss the crush, the talent penalty stops you from using it in regular fights, and it costs all 3 EX. Using this is almost necessary to defeat the final boss of Portal of Awesome. Other than that, you could use it when hunting down UFT, if you don't mind not getting much talent.	A reference to Street Fighter, where Akuma has an attack called Shun Goku Satsu (lit. Instant Hell Murder), also known as the Raging Demon. A final technique for those who have fully tapped into the power of the Satsui no Hadou (Surge of Murderous Intent). Akuma poses then slides forward to grab the opponent. The screen flashes with light and violent strikes are seen "as the might of the 16 hells bombard the foe" while the screen is blacked out. Akuma and the opponent reappear, with the opponent face-down on the ground covered in violet flames and the kanji character for 'heaven' is burning in the background.8
Avalon	-1 Damage Taken (does not count towards total slots)	11000 Talent	Enemies will now be doing about four damage with each hit, so this isn't as good as it looks. Still not bad, though, and it doesn't take up a slot. Buy this after you finish Spire Summit.	Avalon is the scabbard for Excalibur. In Fate/stay Night, the male protagonist had special powers because Avalon was implanted in his body. Somehow. I mean, where would it fit?
Excalibur	+1d6 Damage (does not count towards total slots)	11000 Talent	The moment you beat Spire Summit and get Lil Ro Lvl 3, obtain Excalibur. Clock Tower is basically easy once you have it equipped. Having DragonPunch (+1d3 Damage) and Excalibur both active makes you crazy strong.	Excalibur is King Arthur's weapon. In Fate/stay Night, it is King Arturia (Lil Ro 3)'s weapon, because Japanese King Arthur is a blonde girl for some reason.

Turf 10: Clock Tower

Like Spire Summit, but now you have Excalibur. Easy. You'll probably spend a lot of time grinding here after having defeated it, because the next and last turf is HARD.

Boss

BossMiku, the Clock Tower boss, has 59 HP and 15/13/15/15/15. She should be easily defeated by now, more or less.

Loot

Whirling Blow	+1 Range to your least-used attack	BerserkMiku	No.	A reference to the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic (not a fighting game, for a change). It's apparently as useless in that game as it is here.9
Flash Counter	+1 Damage to Wake-Up Reversal	Defeat boss	Your Wake-Up Reversal is now an Alpha Cancel, but better. That doesn't mean much, though, because (as aforementioned) one extra point of damage at this stage isn't useful any more. Especially since you now have Excalibur.	A counter in fighting games is a move where you pretend to let the opponent hit you, but reverse it back on them. Similar to a reversal. Thus, a flash counter is a counter performed in a flash, ie really fast and before the opponent can realise you're doing it.

Turf 11: Portal of Awesome

Doing eight or more fights in this turf gives you +80 Appetite. That's, like, 1.33 tacos. Woo!
Put Mr Smith Lvl 2, Nadeshiko Lvl 2 and Lil Ro lvl 3 in your team.
Level Frame Advantage to 13 and Wake-Up Reversal to 12 or more. SPAM Frame Advantage, occasionally using Wake-Up Reversal to reset your Risk.
Unified Field Theory is an ability that can be stolen in this turf. It's required to defeat the final boss of both the Portal of Awesome and Billy Idol. Keep your equips from the last turf, but switch one of them out for Hit Confirm. Which one should you drop? (note: with AutoSmash, this is now no longer necessary. Follow the strategy in the AutoSmash section above.)

▼Long mathy exposition, with a graph

On one hand, Hunter's Chain will be a powerful equip at this stage, because the value of +1 range rises as you get more levels. You're also going to be spamming just one move most of the time, so you'll feel the bonus a lot. With this equip, you'll hit your opponent a lot more instead of them hitting you. This bonus will help most just after an opponent uses Wave of Discord (Both Spins set to Zero, 2EX). At 0 Spin, your average roll will be 15*6/2=45 without and 15*7/2=52.5 with it. That's a 16.7% increase, at the most.
Dragon Punch, on the other hand, increases the damage you can do when you do hit.

The above image is a graph to illustrate my point. The numbers on the left are the amounts of damage you can do and the chance that you'll do them. (GS is serious business.)
Without Dragon Punch, you're going to do an average of 5 damage, compared to 7 damage with it. That's a 40% increase on average. Assuming you hit the opponent more than half the time (if you don't, you weren't going to win anyway), the figures come out in DP's favour.

Thus dropping Hunter's Chain and keeping Dragon Punch is clearly the superior option.
Portal of Awesome opponents are immune to Risk. Don't use Tech Punish or put Bucketface in your team.
This turf is a huge difficulty jump from Spire Summit. Enemies here have 111 HP, more than double that of Spire Summit's. Use Lil' Ro 3's Koi-Koi Rekka (+2 damage on successful hit, 1EX) and Bucketface's however-you-spell-it EX moves to help you.

Loot

Name	Description	Source	Useful?	Trivia
Unified Field Theory	EX gauge cannot be affected by opponent	Multiple	Essential for defeating both final bosses, by countering Glowpocalypse. Other than that, no.	A pun off "field". In science, a unified field theory is a theory that explains satisfactorily how the four forces (gravity, electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces) interact with each other. There have been several unified field theories so far, including General Relativity, but they were all not correct in some way. Scientists are still working on it.
Glowpocalypse	Opponent cannot gain EX	Defeat boss	If you equip this against the Portal of Awesome enemies that don't have UFT, you basically get a guaranteed Perfect Victory. Not that you really need it, unless you want to get your levels just a bit higher so you can turn off Power of Sound.	Glow+Apocalypse

Boss

The final boss. He has 122 HP (111+11? Wow, that's a lot of elevens) and 16 in each stat. And Glowpocalypse.
Buy Kin Goku Satsu from Lil' Ro 3 and equip Unified Field Theory.
Your base (i.e. without including Power of Sound and Smith Lvl. 2) Frame Advantage and Wake-Up Reversal must be at least 14.
Spam Frame Advantage as instructed above. Once you have a full EX Gauge, continue until the boss uses Guard Crush. It's most likely to use the same move again, so use Kin Goku Satsu and crush them (you won't need the XP from this boss). Remember to switch to Tech Punish to crush - Kin Goku Satsu does nothing when it doesn't crush. It'll still be hard, but you'll probably make it.

WARNING: If you use TP at any point in the long grind to face the boss, the AI will change and start dodging your KGS. This makes the final boss incredibly hard. Be careful. If the AI has already learned to avoid doing GC twice in a row, you can either spend tons of fights "training" the AI back to the way it was before, or grind levels until you can face the boss on your own terms. Facing The Eleven without using Kin Goku Satsu is chancy even with a base FA and WR at 15; 16 is a good bet.

Billy Idol Bosses

Fought by going to the Billy Idol event in BillyCon. Remember to put your Glowslinging team on. It is best to fight these bosses as soon as possible. Bosses have varying power levels, ranging from Turf 2 difficulty to Turf 11, and the last boss is a puzzle boss.
They count as duels in low areas for the appetite bonus, so you should get the bonus first if possible before doing one of these boss fights.

MemoryMiku

Counts as Playground for the appetite bonus.
Has 20 HP, 5/5/5/5/5
Same strategy as Turfs 2-3.
Keep your Spin up and Risk down. Alpha Cancel is very useful.
Drops Glissando (+5 Flow). Useful.

HarmonyMiku

Counts as Ice Cream Line for the appetite bonus.
20 HP, 9/9/9/9/9
Same strategy as the Parking Lot Boss.
Frame Advantage to 3 Spin, then Tech Punish to crush the predictable response.
Drops Semiquaver (20% Discount in Dealer's room). Sort of useful, if you haven't already bought everything by this point.

MelodyMiku

Counts as Parking Lot for the appetite bonus.
20 HP, 11/11/11/11/11
Same strategy as Dramatic Cliffs/Traintop bosses
She has low HP and doesn't have MikuMiku Tango, so is easily defeatable with 9 in everything.
Drops Key Signature (-2 Levels Needed to Loop). Get this before you try doing any serious speedlooping.

Not Actually A Boss

You must have beaten the Rave with 5000+ Excellence to get Fateful Meeting. By the time you get to Portal of Awesome, your Dance and Flipping Out levels will probably be high enough to carry you past that, barely. Level some other Rave skills too, to make it easier.
Go to Billy Idol and your MikuMiku friend will give you the EX Attack Sound of Silence. This move reveals how far into a Gambit you are for 3 EX. This includes the move you used with it. This EX Attack is almost necessary to learn your Deadly Rave gambit to defeat FutureMiku.
The Deadly Rave gambit is random and different for each player. It is a 10-length gambit, consisting of each attack skill twice in a row, eg WR-WR-TP-TP-AC-AC-GC-GC-FA-FA or FA-FA-TP-TP-AC-AC-GC-GC-WR-WR.
To discover your own Deadly Rave, first get 3 EX and use Sound of Silence with each attack skill until you get the message "1 into a 10-length Gambit". That attack skill will be the first two moves. Now test for the third move with SoS until you get "3 into a 10-length Gambit", and so on. The last two moves will simply be the only remaining attack skill.

FutureMiku

A puzzle boss.
FutureMiku has Glowpocalypse (Opponent cannot gain EX) and MikuMiku Omega (Heals to 11 HP at the beginning of each round, +1 Levels per round, Not affected by Risk or random damage) and always moves faster than you can imagine, crushing your every move and gaining a permanent level in everything each turn.

Your Excalibur and Dragon Punch are useless here. How do you beat a boss like this? You'd have to be able to see the future or something…

▼Winning strategy

Required:
Unified Field Theory, stolen from Portal of Awesome opponents - counters Glowpocalypse
Your Deadly Rave gambit, learned using Sound of Silence
Kin Goku Satsu, taught by Lil' Ro 3
Look at my Horse, taught by Nadeshiko 2

Strategy:
Perform your Deadly Rave. On the last move, ie turn 10, use Look at my Horse.
You'll regain 300 EX from the Deadly Rave gambit, and you'll know her next move.
Do the move that crushes hers, along with Kin Goku Satsu.

Counts as a Rooftop opponent for the purposes of appetite.
