Idol roster

Difficulty assumes Normal mode and a fully-tutorialized player. Tier list ranks them by skill check and gear requirement.

#	Idol	Genre	BPM	Phases	Diff.	Unlock	Strategy in one line
1	Arora	EDM / Synthpop	124–132 BPM	3	⭐⭐	Story Chapter 1	Turn on the Beat Indicator (Settings → Accessibility) for your first attempt.
2	Hemlock	Punk Rock	160–172 BPM	2	⭐⭐⭐	Story Chapter 2	Prioritize fan adds — they will break your combo meter if ignored.
3	Dex	Metal / Shred	180–200 BPM	3	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Story Chapter 3	Dex is a parry check. Practice on Tutorial against the parry dummy first.
4	Prophet	Trap / Hip-Hop	140–150 BPM	3	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Story Chapter 4	Disable Auto-Combo if you have it on. Prophet rewards manual timing.
5	Dancer	House / Disco	118–128 BPM	3	⭐⭐⭐	Story Chapter 5	Count out loud — 8-count timing is much easier audibly than visually.
6	Blood	Speed Metal	195–215 BPM	4	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Story Chapter 6	Hard-required gear: Tempo Window accessory + Parry+ skill.
7	Strings	Orchestral / Cinematic	Variable 80–180 BPM	3	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Story Chapter 7	Disable music-only audio mix — keep SFX up so you can hear hit-confirms.
