Seems like it is probably just "choose the 9 highest scores in the stat, taking into
account raw score and bond (kizuna), and nothing else.  It's a good starting point
if you've messed with your team setups and want to get them back to some semblance

of being reasonable, but they should really be manually edited afterwards.

On the English server right now, I have five teams:

Team A:  flagged as 'Main', contains my favorite card of each Muse member, except
I have no Rins or Eris yet.  Rotate the leader card around when I want to listen to
someone else for a while.

Teams B through D:  standard Smile, Pure, and Cool teams.

Team E:  Event Team.  The EN event song is Cool, so this is similar to my Cool team,
which consists of 7 Cool characters, plus my Smile UR and Smile SR (who have higher
Cool ratings than any of my alternatives by a wide margin).  But the Smile
characters have been moved into the two least-used slots for the Normal difficulty
event song, since I reliably get S score and S or A combo on that, but only get C/C
or B/C on Hard.  This has worked out for me, as right now I am about 300 Event
Points shy of getting Kotori, with 24 hours left to play... should be no problem at
all.  She won't be idolized, but at least I'll get her.


Will be doing my second 10+1 honor student recruit once the event is over.  That plus
the SR Kotori should help my teams out a lot.


Glad that Unbalanced Love was a pleasant sounding song, as I've got 56 plays on it
on Normal.  ^_^;   Hanayo plus Honoka plus Kotori?  Yes, sign me up for that.

That's been solid advice.  Stopped spending my Friend Points for the moment, and am
just working on finishing off the idolized Ns I already have.  Have 20 open spaces
now after Practices, which is significantly more breathing room.  Have several maxed

Cool Ns waiting to train with SR Kotori.   :)   And that Cool teacher that was awarded
around 9k Event points, who is worth 5k/6k experience.
