Moment of Glory - Arataki Itto

In the second test, you will have to perform the soundtrack of the Arataki from his demo trailer "The Magnificent".

Before starting the performance, we recommend listening to the song. Itto's song is quite melodic, yet energetic and has active dynamics, but unlike Eimiya's song, it practically does not contain a slow part.

To start the drum festival, select the difficulty: ordinary, heavy or expert. To receive all the rewards, it is enough to complete the expert at the level "gently". If you are not confident in your abilities, you can first test yourself in previous difficulties and practice.

Recommendations for ing:

• Almost immediately, a fairly dynamic melody will begin, where a lot of yellow circles in turn. Be prepared to click directly on the notes closer to the middle of the input line. They will go pretty fast, and it is possible to miss a few, but this is not critical if there is no need to on "perfectly". Otherwise, you can always try again.

• Similar to the track of Eimiya, there are parallel running long и short notes. They are still closer to the middle, so tune in to this area in advance: release the yellow circles immediately, and hold the purple ones until the very end of the strip. It may not be easy, but it is recommended to focus on the yellows while the purple line is running. Because they can be missed in large quantities.

• Near the end of the song long lines will flow in a continuous stream, but already on both sides of the strip - all the same on the SD and JK keys, then again a few short ones.

Wanderer's Fate - Kazuha

In the third test, a song becomes available for performance Kazuhi from his "Wind Under the Moon" trailer.

Before you start playing, familiarize yourself with the approximate sound of the melody. Kazuha's music is initially calm and peaceful, while containing dotted rhythm. Because of this, despite the slow measure, there will be many yellow dots (short notes) until about the middle. However, further the tempo will accelerate and will keep until the end of the composition.

Start playing by choosing any of the suggested difficulty levels. If you want to immediately pick up all the rewards, you can choose an expert, since it is enough to go to "gently».

Recommendations for ing:

• In the beginning, the song is calm but choppy due to the dotted rhythm. So be prepared that there will be several yellow short circles in a row. The notes of this composition are located only on the middle points of SD and JK. Therefore, tune in to them in advance.

• Medium purple stripes appear periodically. They can also run in parallel and at the same time with each other. This tempo lasts until about the middle of the composition, after which it begins transition to an accelerated rhythm.

• Besides long notes, will also meet short, which will follow rapidly and mixed with purple. At this stage, it is easy to miss laps and lose points.

Guardian's Devotion - Toma

In the fourth test, you will have to perform the soundtrack "Protection Fire", which is dedicated to the leader of the Kamisato clan, Tome.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the melody before performing at the grandiose Arataki Drum Festival in order to better feel the atmosphere. The melody is vigorous and impetuous, just like Toma himself. Despite this, at first the notes do not go so fast and in general the track is much simpler than the previous ones. Although towards the end there is a complex party that requires attention.

Start playing by selecting the desired difficulty. If you immediately put an expert and go no lower than the mark "gently”, you can pick up all the rewards at once.

Recommendations for ing:

• As in most of the previous tracks, almost to the very end, the notes fall towards the middle. Therefore, we advise you to focus on middle keys and ignore the extremes. The beginning is quite simple when compared with the previous stages. So try to earn as many points as possible in this part.

• A little before reaching the middle, a double purple stripe will appear, indicating the transition to fast rhythm. Be prepared for the fact that after this a lot of yellow circles will abruptly go.

• At the very beginning of the accelerated part, there is a chance to miss a lot of points. Still focus on middle keys and don't rush. After a couple of notes, you can easily get used to the rhythm.

• Also be prepared for several purple stripes in a row. They follow this principle: two notes on D, on J, and then on S and K. It is worth considering that the ends run in parallel, as shown in the screenshot below.

The composition has no pauses and practically does not slow down, as it starts approximately from the middle and includes the most epic part of the soundtrack. The melody is not difficult to play, but from the very beginning it has a fairly dynamic tempo.
