A Guide to playing The Dance Battle
- Lovers receive a Technique/Popularity boost when wearing Masks.
- The higher a Lover’s Technique, the more their opponent's Popularity is diminished during the battle.
- If a Lover's Popularity reaches 0, they lose their fighting spirit and leave the dance floor.
- Lovers can also utilize Mask Skills during the battles.
- Strategically use Masks to enhance the dancing capabilities of your team.
- Defeating all opponent Lovers in dance battles secures your victory.
