Love Live! School Idol Festival - Why the Strongest Cards are Super Rares

Thought that the strongest team in SIF was a full UR team? Think again! With the introduction of 4.0's School Idol Skills, a select few SR cards with score-based activations have surpassed the power of all URs in the game. This video discusses why that is.

[@juicyjade9741]

Umida: "-medley festivals-" Subtitles: "-ugly fast balls-" Seems pretty accurate

[@kenny6459]

"gonna explain this short" 22 minutes long

[@DeliriousBao]

I sped up the video to 1.5x. Was still comprehensible. That's how slow he talks. Lol

[@marta5715]

I had the Umi cheerleader And I sold her. :)

[@sadiebrown6500]

Marta de la Torre same

[@owltired5013]

Marta de la Torre same, i thought it was kinda insignificant for my team, and i was close to having 5 BTs so i sold her. i honestly regret it because i even like that card.

[@lanaponlyme7936]

Marta de la Torre same same same lol. slap past me

[@ren7220]

Same. Didn't like her idolized

[@maxwan6966]

Marta de la Torre dw same here

[@SaramewTV]

Super informative, I was wondering exactly what made cheerleader Umi so special! Thank you Umidah! (also no hard feelings but JESUS the loveless world cover was so annoying and I actually got a headache from it repeating the whole time lmao)

[@danahaljulaibi3628]

i want to watch this video but the violin loveless world in the background is giving me such a headache >:(

[@2713__rina]

Danah AlJ same

[@sonya5043]

That face when you got rid of your cheerleader Umi. :'(

[@sinceritynature202]

Someone actually made a video demonstrating this in action long before 4.0!! It's a video called "llsif infinitiy score test", and they used the Kotori that has this skill activation rather than Umi.

[@animesky965]

In my opinion, it's not the main point to show who has the strongest or weakest team in this game. It's all about enjoying to playing the game.

[@snatched6830]

AnimeSky you clicked on this video for what reason then lol

[@animesky965]

I was curious.

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

yep

[@chasse-nigb3r]

The reason for me is to get royal expert(8-9 months in /about 4 or 5 months when I actually tryhard didn't play that much when I was starting) I'm getting there I've full combo a 11 master without pl a few times but I know I'm still garbage at this game 😭 need to tryhard more 😭

[@DC-yf2sw]

As a f2p player I just want to get higher scores in events so I can get love gems for free

[@Clear1]

For the record, don't even for a second think your copy of Cheer Umi is even close to be that good. Most of these Umis are SLv8, which still requires whaling massively to obtain moms as it takes quite a few to get to.

[@Justin-tq3vr]

Clear1 there's always those skill up srs 👀

[@Clear1]

SR Supports give 100 Skill EXP, Moms give 1000 Skill EXP. You need at least near 8000 to get anywhere near SLv8

[@mountaindew7553]

Clear1 Still takes whaling, but I can argue you could, off enough SR and R seals, blue ticket well more than enough moms needed via seals from events / friend points / love gems Massive is an overstatement though IMO, UR chance isn't that crazy w/ 1 blue ticket pulls; probably just as much whaling if not LESS than the people with the rin URs who whale for 1% chances idlz + skills. In terms of the top end, this is ridiculous.

[@julian-bf5uz]

Actually not true I've come to revisit this vid bc I'm on vacation lolol, anyways. I leveled my cheer umi to sklv 7 bc the last lvl is 1500 exp which is a big leap from the levels before. More like 4K exp which is a bit less difficult to obtain with teachers and BTs.

[@hungerxhunger2548]

Mountain Dew If they pay let them

[@Grinding4ever]

for people who focus on their favorite team this is not cool. i focus on BiBi for example. and whales are paying a lot to reach top 10. so having to make lility white team for just Umi on the pure team is quite , hmm sad in a way or two. and will Klab fix this? god knows.... an SR scorer should never be better than a UR. specially when the game require buying etc.

[@aki.dayoo_]

Nico Equal Love Live the thing is that the game doesn't require ANY purchases to be made, and the Cheerleader Umi is only stronger than a UR considering that you have 8 copies with a LV. 8 skill. Not every single player in the game is suddenly gonna start throwing money at the game for the sake of achieving this.

[@Grinding4ever]

oh cool thanks for telling me, i though one lvl 8 umi is stronger than lvl 8 UR scorer :P which i am planing to make ofc. on Fairy Nico (pure, bibi team). so this was like getting me to think and re-plan xD

[@Umidahh]

One SR Umi is still stronger than a UR in the absolute case, but on average the UR will get you a higher score. If you want to cheese a higher score for tiering, though, the Umi is the way to go.

[@Grinding4ever]

Umida turned out that Umi is the "purest" of them all ;)

[@liizzychan7521]

Umida so from the cheerleader set is Umi only the good one when you need multiples of her for a very strong team It suck since I only have cheerleader Nozomi and Maki and no Umi

[@aeliin_]

i can genuinely listen to your voice all day

[@ellazhu]

Wow a music and intro change

[@munayasin4895]

ikr

[@weilu7419]

Just checked the score ranking. All top eight players used that SR bearsuit honoka. And Klab is selling cheerleader umi again. I don't think klab is going to fix these overpowered cards. Just spent 300 hearts scounting cheerleader Umi, nothing good came.

[@rinnetease]

LOVELESS WOOOOPORLDLD

[@catboy3557]

Matsume da yo, matsume naide ...

[@drifki3471]

Kokoro ga sakenderu

[@elizabethroa6970]

yay! I got that Nico yesterday! I was dissapointed cuz I wanted a Ur but now Im happy. muahahahahaha. And I already have that umi. so I know what cards I need to lvl up with suports now, thanks so much. But Im f2p though, I highly doubt I'll get to lvl up her skills soon.

[@elizabethroa6970]

also, I love umi xD

[@ghiri3769]

en doesnt suck as badly anymore now that I have inital SSR mari

[@eeveelutiongirl9933]

Danney DeCheeto Same here!

[@charterhold1469]

Danney DeCheeto I don't know what it is,but aqours loves giving me cool SSR's. i got initial dia, initial riko... twice, initial Yohane.... *twice*, and swimsuit you... *TWICE!!!!* .-.

[@moonheartsky]

Danny DeCheeto initial ssr μ's cards look awful

[@yutubekoo]

I have that Honoka o: TIME TO MAKE HER USEFUL

[@sonic66646]

Um just saying when you showed that the person with the full maid RIn team does worse than the full Honoka team+ single broken skill SR you forgot that the person with the Rins had 4 misses that the other person didn't have

[@weilu7419]

That 4 misses didn't break the big combo so they could only provide another 10 thousands at best. That guy intended to miss few notes either at the very beginning or very end so he could start a new round few seconds earlier.

[@weilu7419]

The honoka team got 100 thousands more than rin team. And don't forget rin cards have higher skill levels.

[@sonic66646]

wei lu the combo isn't written there how could you know these were exactly the 4 last/first notes?

[@njess26]

so they finally decided to nerf these cards😭 as a new player who only got 2 of these 4 and just recently max skilled, i feel robbed

[@togico8837]

For real, its fun using them especially in RCs, and thought they actually increased team diversity even if encore meta was kind of a problem. SRs actually being usable for team building was neat.

[@njess26]

@@togico8837 yup i had tried in a few RCs, got to top 10😭 wait what's an encore meta??

[@veronicaramos8466]

Five years and I couldn't get cheerleader Umi... so, SRs have no point to be in our teams now? Like, I have a toncof SRs and I don"t know if I should sell them. 🥲

[@WeebSsamm]

Are these still the meta outside of RC? Really is a shame that they decided to nerf these fun cards

[@ruisaintsblade309]

I mean has KLab actually done anything to fix Friendly Hacker problems either? Nope!

[@lalexxx]

Chloe yes

[@somecupcake]

so basically, my team is shit and f2p is garbage.

[@TheAiko1996]

somecupcake not if you've been playing the game for long enough. My teams are decent all around with three URs as centers. It also depends on your luck and how much you save your gems. So good luck on fishing those URs or SRs

[@somecupcake]

I've actually been playing for I feel like 2 years now. maybe more. I just have the worst 1 SR luck in the history of SIF. all my teams are full SR. I have 3 UR's 2 smile and my first cool UR that I got the other day from and impulse BT.

[@TheAiko1996]

somecupcake then they arent bad teams. SR are pretty good

[@JordanNexhip]

Your chances should be better now with the new scouting percentages hooray

[@narumifujishima7504]

I think you should include the probability of at least 6 umi cheerleader cards would activate at the same time. The only thing that klab can do to prevent that score method you have mentioned is not to allow same cards on the same team. Also, the umi cheerleader card is quite balanced imo because of its low activation probability, but that is if it was only 1 cheerleader card on the team.

[@charterhold1469]

I think the no more than one or a card makes sense.

[@honkita]

Just asking, why doesn’t anyone mention event panda Nico? She has this skill too, and it seems like everyone forgets about her. For example, Eryn Cerise just doesn’t talk about her in her team building guide while she talks about all the other cards with this skill. It’s just strange, as players could also get this card from scouting and use her like the others.

[@Umidahh]

Back when these were the strongest cards in the game, it was what I called the 2nd Year Meta. The ideal team compositions used 2nd Year 9%/6% center skills, and the fact that 3 of the 4 broken SR cards were 2nd year allowed them to be put on any 2nd year team, regardless of attribute. Nico required a 3rd Year or BiBi center skill, which was less ideal since certain attributes didn't have a card with that center skill as well as being a Score card.

[@MikuHatsune-ze4vk]

I don't even have 9 sr

[@kittisakkhamprsong5707]

And now,are they still good?

[@toontownfan237]

Wow... I sold most of my SR away because my member list is getting full. By watching this video, I'm starting to quit this game and move on somewhere else, because I know I'm not getting them back. im crying inside rn ;-;

[@citrusskip]

I have a SL6 Cheerleader Umi! She goes off constantly and my pure team is amazing thanks to her (and my SL3 Animal Yoshiko). Like, I notice a difference when I remove her from my team....

[@Muffs39]

so unless i did the math wrong, wouldnt you need 1,032 copies of cheerleader umi to get 8 idolized copies all at skill level 8??

[@Umidahh]

That's under the old skill-up system. Now you can feed the support cards for skill up experience, so you would only need 8 copies and 8 SR stickers for 8 idolized copies at Skill Level 1. Even at Skill Level 1, if all of them have the 250% boost, then they can theoretically activate an infinite number of times. Skilling them up makes it more likely to reach higher numbers, but it is still possible with only Skill Level 1.

[@juhneeee]

It is also worth noting how you can buy 10% skill chance up during medfesm increasing the 13% to a whopping 23% ..

[@LuckyPlays11]

When its level 8 its 20%+10% bonus+10% friend support bonus=40%......

[@celiafraze123]

ooh I like the new intro umida!

[@firelynx1108]

so what you are saying is goodbye urs and hello sr

[@akirasaito1551]

Now each song in medley festivals is counted individually T^T

[@yksiloituminen]

Hmm I have that Honoka SR. I guess she will be somewhat useful now?

[@sussybaka1151]

I never remove my SRs unless I have a duplicate, the only cheerleader outfit I have is Hanayo

[@nemururin8761]

It hurts my heart because I had that Umi card and I sold it to buy something from the seal shop. ( Goes into corner and cries)

Does this works for nurse Kotori too? I got her

[@itsgummo]

How can I get that Umi card?

[@emtay7515]

do you have a link to this music?

[@momentlive]

Oh God I sold that Honoka a few days ago...what have I done...

[@blacklancejeo6625]

Not sure if the video has aged well, but I heard they nerfed the SR Cheerleader Umi and closed on a recent update.

[@sonic66646]

That sounds so weird but awesome I actually like it I hope they make more special things like that xD

[@michelleomari9706]

Will this make tiering events harder for f2p players?

[@MissHandyAndy]

Michelle Omari maybe in scorematch, where if you're playing the highest difficulty songs you may face some of these whales and thus get 1st less often, but unless you're trying to get the highest place in song rankings, as in you're trying to get the most points, then you'll be fine.

[@googleuser574]

AdorableEspurr Yup, I think it's just me but I keep getting first since I play with my cool team only and I reset until I get a cool song.

[@m.mchannel9342]

Rip

[@charmingangel9695]

The fact I got the second year trio as of today, but to know they're nerfed. I'm still using them, easy score points.

[@catkid8362]

Thanks, that makes more sense now!! I noticed that in the ranks and thought '....how tf does that work.....' Might be cool tho bc wouldn't they activate like the initial event kotori in that yt video? It looked fun lol. But still, that's a huge cheat to exploit for whalers and it's pretty dissapointing, especially for Klab to stoop that low......

[@jayeatsyams]

Ok so that's why all the top scorers in the medley festival have pure teams which just have 8 Cheerleader Umis or so

[@AvecerDancer]

I'm scared, I didn't even realize that I have that card (Event Kotori as well)

[@zakruo]

time to focus on initial box now lololol

[@valtoreshikariburinga5912]

Update Jul 1 2021: Cheerleader umi was nerfed.

[@kaleidoxa]

15:01 holy shit THATS soramaru?

[@okoge699]

WOAH

[@sonjs3336]

Is the "did i improve?" Cool honoka any good? I got it from a 5 gem pull

[@freshlysqueezedpopsicle]

Fuck. I sold my old Honoka SR. (The one in the list with Umi, Kotoro, and Nico)

[@umimiadventure350]

Stop being salty. Umi is the best (Yes, I have cheerleader Umi cards). Too bad I just removed sleepy Nico few days before the event started. It is a tough decision for klab to make. Either people who invested in Cheerleader Umi are going to be fucked in the near future or people who were pround of their UR cards are screwed forever. I believe klab will make some changes to cheerleader umi and other 3 cards since not a lot of people invested. If I were klab, I would stop these brutal SR cards, send U stickers to those accounts who invested in cheerleader umi.

[@googleuser574]

I cri since I only have one unidolised Umi

[@umimiadventure350]

Just remove cards you don't need or dislike to get some stickers.

[@elizabethroa6970]

and why are second years the best cards? I just like you and umi from them. not fair

[@Wasarety]

Are you saying Honoka or Monica?

[@sugibang9816]

Although these cartds are very overpowered I think newer players who haven't gotten used to team building could use these cards very nicely.

[@melvinsinatra7794]

Do you have a streaming schedule?

[@Umidahh]

It's hard for me to maintain a proper schedule when school is active. The best kind of schedule I can give you is that I'll usually stream on the first and last day of events, and I try to stream once on the weekend, usually Saturday. Whenever I do go live I'll have a KZbin video alert, as well as alerts on Twitter and Twitch.

[@navybluebunny]

What is the background music you used?

[@juicyjade9741]

Melancholic Mysteries Loveless World violin version

[@reigensdummythiccass8362]

your intro music is desire link

[@LittleSpecter]

tfw you're f2p and have two cheer umi cards idolized

[@germancheese2801]

I had cool riko ur I sold her

[@rie9274]

I always thought URs were stronger holy

[@giselle666]

How the hell did you get over 400 scouting tickets.... wtf

[@lcvelysuga9249]

im glad i idolized cheerleader umi before i sold her :'D

[@somethingx2203]

4:17 what song is that?

[@stratoz9]

Shouldn't the title or something be "strongest cards in ChaFest/MedFest?" The reason why cheerleader Umi is strong is because of the format she's being used in. Pretty sure KLab did not forsee this since they released the card long before the Fests were introduced.

[@sinceritynature202]

This kind of use for the cards was actually possible with normal songs, and before 4.0!! Though it was much more difficult to pull off. I think you needed 9 of the card, all max skill level?? And then get lucky with the initial activations. Someone pulled it off before in a video called llsif infinity score test!

[@stratoz9]

Oh okay. I'll check out that video then. I just thought the cards are just implicitly better in the Fest formats because you're working with more songs plus you can buy the increased skill activation.

[@sinceritynature202]

I guess in a way they're even better in the Fest formats!! But they can still rack up a HUGE score on regular songs, it's ridiculous....

[@vitrum114]

I threw Cheerleader Umi... 😔

[@Nanfans]

What the link?

[@yoelaerio3470]

i have idolized cheerleader umi

[@25jinightcord]

I have the non-idolized or whatever it's called cheer leader umi I thought she was shit ;^; I got her on like my 2nd or 3rd day playing xd I'm really new to LLSIF at the time of writing this comment I'm on my 6th day playing

[@icyzw277]

WHAT'S THE SONG I NEED TO KNOW ;-;

[@diaa6807]

it's Loveless World piano/violin

[@curewhiteaj]

This is what happens with these SRs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmfIo6Cvh66GbMk

[@Sara88811]

the new update love me I get sr kanan and my first ur ):

[@danielcarbajal5127]

Unlimited power!!!!!

[@Sammysapphira]

It doesn't have to be the rarest card to be the strongest. there's no reason for rare cards to be stronger than others, and it doesn't "make sense"

[@daylaanle]

If the rarest card is not the strongest. What is the point to get them? When no one want to get them, why do they even exist?

[@hopeelizabeth1240]

Couldn't even say honoka right. And the background music is pretty annoying. The reason for this video is kinda interesting though

[@yakohikari8870]

I'm sleepy after watch this video :v

I'm sorry but you are not well spoken, you keep on cutting whenever you try to speak, please consider a written version? You're confusing people more with how you speak, it's so cringe, you don't seem to have any confidence with your words at all.
