Shooting Challenge

In the Shooting Challenge, Nagisa must use a rifle to shoot at targets which appear sporadically in order to earn points, in a manner similar to a shooting gallery carnival game. There are ten stages and an endless mode stage, with each stage broken up into waves lasting 30-40 seconds. Nagisa can also enlist the help of accomplices whose abilities can be activated to help him obtain a higher score; these accomplices can be leveled up to improve the effectiveness and reduce the cooldown time of their ability. Stages 1-4 allow the use of just one accomplice, while stages 5-10 and the endless mode stage allow Nagisa to enlist a second accomplice.

Nagisa's rifle deals 1 damage per shot to a hit target, begins with 60 shots of ammo, and will reload 10 ammo every second he does not fire the rifle. However, there is a combo meter which influences Nagisa's final score which will reset to zero if he takes too long to attack a target or misses a target after a brief grace period. Each time the rifle hits a target, the combo will be increased by 1; this is not influenced by damage dealt by accomplices that deal damage as part of their ability or by damage dealt by targets that damage other targets upon defeat. Every 100 points, this combo meter will add 0.50x to the score multiplier when any target is defeated, up to a total of a 3x score multiplier with a combo of 400 hits.

Each stage allows Nagisa to earn a medal based on his score. 0-500 points earns a bronze medal, 501-1000 earns a silver medal, 1001-3000 earns a gold medal, and a score higher than 3000 earns a platinum medal. Certain stages require Nagisa to earn a specific rank of medal on the previous stage in order to unlock.

Battle Effects

The Boss Battle mode features a selection of modifiers that alter the conditions of the battle, which also increase the Abnormality Level of that battle. Each modifier carries an Abnormality rating associated with its tier: 1 for Stable, 2 for Distressed, and 3 for Berserk. Certain modifiers are toggled on permanently during the four main challenge stages for each variant of Nian Shou; these are not affected by the difficulty level of the battle nor do they change the attack patterns or skills of the event stages. In the Custom Difficulty mode, players are able to toggle each modifier on and off - however, they must be unlocked by clearing the four main challenge stages. Additionally, higher abnormality ratings only possible in Custom Difficulty are required in order to complete certain event goals.

Synopsis

See full plot...

Yaoling Li approaches Nagisa Kamisiro to celebrate the Lunar New Year together, with Minami Miyashita tagging along. Along the way, they meet up with Leo Kamiyama and Yumi Shiina, only to discover the festival barren with few attendees and some stalls left completely unattended, leading Lufel to realize that people's desires to celebrate the festival have been stolen. While Nagisa investigates the Metaverse to discover the cause of the stolen desires, the rest of the group work to fill in for event staff whose stolen desires have led to the cancellation of the traditional lion dance. After finding and defeating a Shadow named Nian Shou - the root cause of the stolen desire - in Mementos, Nagisa returns to the real world to assist with the lion dance. The lion dance and festival become a success, and the group returns home with happy memories.

Nomenclature

Simplified Chinese: 太平乐, Traditional Chinese: 太平樂, romanized tàipínglè, literally "supreme peace and joy", refers to the music played during the Chinese lion dance. In Japanese, this term (written 太平楽 in Japanese shinjitai) is also used as an idiom for "happy-go-lucky", which may have influenced the English localization.
