New-producer tips

Specialize early. Give each idol a lane (main vocal, dance ace, MC) to raise team synergy.

Schedule rest. Overworked idols perform worse—one light day often beats two heavy ones.

Build for the setlist. Train to match upcoming song types rather than spreading thin.

Relationships matter. Bond events often unlock strong passive buffs—don’t skip them.

Review the recap. Post-show stats highlight where you’re actually losing points.
