A general walkthrough for Cinderella Nine in August, up to Youth Rank 33.

Regarding the mobile game Cinderella Nine in August, I've managed to raise my rank to the current limit, Youth Rank 33, so I'll write about my general strategy so far.

① Prioritizing tasks
② Uses of Nine Star
③ Regarding training
④ Regarding strategies for completing the training course and acquiring skills
⑤ Regarding the development of talent
⑥ Summary for when you're in trouble

① Prioritizing tasks
First, to increase your stamina limit, let's play Cinderella Matches (Dere Battles).
Increasing your stamina will allow you to complete tasks more efficiently.
In the Dere battle, three opponents will be displayed, but until you reach the promotion battle, it's fine to choose the weakest opponent.
Rather than choosing an opponent with whom you have a 50/50 chance of winning, you'll ultimately earn more cheers for victory bonuses if you fight an opponent you're likely to beat.
If you get stuck in the promotion matches, try earning Bear Max in event matches or strengthening your team by acquiring SR rank players.
The frequency of performing a Cinderella story (Derest) doesn't need to be a high priority.
In my case, I only did it all at once when I got stuck in the promotion matches for the Dere tournament.
(Promotion match to Youth Rank 33)
Until you have a sufficient number of players with the same attributes, you won't be able to play efficiently, so I think it's best to wait until you have enough players before seriously trying to conquer the game.
However, it's okay to play in order to watch the bond episodes and collect the Nine Star fragments.

② Uses of Nine Star
Regarding how to use Nine Stars, I recommend focusing on scouting.
I think it's a good idea to invest in scouting until at least all of your starting players are SR-rank players whose proper positions match.
At that point, it might be worthwhile to use some resources to recover stamina, but since it recovers over time, scouting is the only option if you're playing for free.
Regarding expanding the player roster, there shouldn't be any problems as long as you regularly sell Bearmax statues through transfers.
At first, I didn't know that players could only be released through the transfer screen, and I couldn't understand why I was always running out of player slots.
Be careful.
Furthermore, N-rank players can be disposed of promptly or used for strengthening without any issues.

③ Regarding training
Basically, you can develop any player you like.
If I had to say, players who have training menus that are useful for conquering the training course are quite valuable.
Players who have additional training menus that increase the number of actions by one are easier to keep as training partners.
If a character is R rank or higher, you can awaken them twice to reach SSR rank, so raising them won't be a waste of time.
(However, players who have been awakened and ranked up seem to be slightly inferior in terms of skills.)
To conquer the Dream Stage, you'll need to use a team with matching attributes, so it's a good idea to keep a wide variety of players.
Since performance can fluctuate from day to day, having multiple high-ranking players in a single position increases stability.

④ Regarding strategies for completing the training course and acquiring skills
Basically, you should build your team with players of the recommended attributes and try to beat the challenge.
Early on, add exercises that increase the number of actions (e.g., eating nutritional jelly or hot dogs), then move on to higher-level exercises, and finally add exercises that enhance the effectiveness of the exercise.
Additionally, to ensure you can handle bomb disposal, it's a good idea to include players with multiple attributes in your extra training menu.
Let's try to arrange things so that we can select as many training menus as possible together.
Basically, I'll try not to push myself too hard and aim to acquire one rare skill per playthrough.
Use your remaining points to acquire general-purpose skills.
Playing multiple times can be quite time-consuming and challenging, but you can also obtain items that can help resolve problems and unlock talent, so keep playing!
"The Courage to Take the First Step, Changing Feelings," which only has one recommended attribute, is quite easy to complete.

⑤ Regarding the development of talent
First, let's do our best to resolve the problems each player is facing.
Since negative skills are instantly transformed into positive skills, your combat power will increase significantly.
You should solve all of the main players' problems first, and then work on increasing their individual skill talents.

⑥ Summary
This is a summary of what I did when I was in trouble.
- Unable to win promotion matches
Collect players of SR rank or higher and use Bear Max to strengthen them.
If you don't have any SR-rank players, collect cheers and gather awakening materials through cumulative rewards.
Even a battle against a weaker opponent is fine.
This should work up to around youth rank 30.
・But we still can't win
Let's play the training mode and acquire new skills.
First, we aim to resolve all of our starting lineup concerns.
Let's also try an automatic train formation that prioritizes performance.
- Unable to awaken
Awakening materials can be obtained as cumulative rewards from the cheering event.
Please note that you cannot awaken a character unless they reach the maximum level at that rank.
I want to resolve my problems.
Let's just keep playing the training mode.

Even N-rank players should be included if they possess the necessary attributes.
In matches in Delest, accumulating bonds of friendship and improving your performance during matches is the shortest path to victory.
