Other additions include:

New Game Modes

• Two New Stages; one of them is inspired by “??? Halloween Night”.
• New Game Mode: this mode requires you to kill 5,000 enemies in a restricted Arena.

New Mechanics

• Randomized weapon stats and enchants.
• Oshi “Following Level” system; this gives your existing characters bonuses so they’re stronger and more fun to play as with each playthrough. As you continue to play your favorite idol more, their Following Level may increase to “Fan”, up to “Oshi”! When an idol raises their Following Level, they may gain benefits in-game, such as starting with skills already levelled!
• Mouse-Aiming.
