Idol fight difficulty
| Tier | Idol | BPM | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Blood | 195–215 BPM | Hard-required gear: Tempo Window accessory + Parry+ skill. |
| S | Strings | Variable 80–180 BPM | Disable music-only audio mix — keep SFX up so you can hear hit-confirms. |
| A | Dex | 180–200 BPM | Dex is a parry check. Practice on Tutorial against the parry dummy first. |
| A | Prophet | 140–150 BPM | Disable Auto-Combo if you have it on. Prophet rewards manual timing. |
| B | Hemlock | 160–172 BPM | Prioritize fan adds — they will break your combo meter if ignored. |
| B | Dancer | 118–128 BPM | Count out loud — 8-count timing is much easier audibly than visually. |
| C | Arora | 124–132 BPM | Turn on the Beat Indicator (Settings → Accessibility) for your first attempt. |
Skills & accessories
| Tier | Skill / Accessory | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| S | Tempo Window | Widens Perfect window. Stack with everything. |
| S | Parry+ | Doubles the parry stagger window. Required vs Dex/Blood. |
| A | Special Charge | Faster Special meter — great in Story, OK in Infinite. |
| B | Auto-Combo | Skips combo input precision — helpful for new players, lower ceiling. |
| A | Visual Beat Pulse | Accessibility tool that doubles as a high-level cue. |
| B | Crowd Sweep | AOE damage scaling — only matters in Hemlock and Infinite waves. |
| C | Off-Beat Bonus | Niche — only on Prophet and a few Free Play remixes. |
