In my fever to get imp Yayoi, I did 100 rolls.  In my desire to get wedding dress Charlotta and Seira, I did 110 rolls.  If you get to 150 rolls on a character, you can choose the SS Memoria you're aiming for and get it automatically for free.  I had already acquired the SS Memoria, but I could give them limit breaks if I got to 150, which in both cases was already most of the way complete.  So I decided at this point it was more efficient to go on rolling until I'd cashed in on the benefits of my previous rolls.  As a result of this further $130 investment, I got wedding dress Seira to limit break level 1, imp Yayoi to limit break level 2, an eternal daphne for wedding dress Seira and another one for shrine maiden Risa, who have recently proven their worth in tough battles, magicat Tenne to limit break 3, rococo Sumomo to 2.5, thunder Yuina to 2.5, shrine maiden Risa to 2.5, sheep Yotsuha to 2, and 5 protean shards, which gets me halfway to a limit break of my choice.

The two eternal daphnes are definitely the best aspect of this deal.  Now I have 31 SS Memoria with eternal daphnes.  These are the seraphs I can really rely on to take on the toughest opponents.  Bringing Seira and Risa into the fold gives me a lot of flexibility for future squad formation.  (Buffers and healers are useful pretty much anywhere).

But this doesn't do justice to what my $130 purchased.  Half of what I purchased is paid quartz that I haven't used yet.  This vast reservoir of paid quartz will get me many new SS Memoria in the future, so hopefully I can keep my 'all SS Memoria in the game collected' status for as long as possible.  (Wouldn't it be great if it were all the way to the end of the game?  What a dream that would be. . .)

I made a new fire squad to try and make idol Erika useful, and she was pretty effective.  The problem is the new squad was still weaker than my previous fire squads, which makes the whole effort sorta pointless.  But it did provide proof of principle that the potential I saw in idol Erika wasn't wrong.  It feels like only goddess Yingxia was a straight-out mistake.

Miya completed her training and got her new master skill, which awards +2 sp to the whole party every time she uses her exclusive skills.  Her exclusive skills cost either 14, 12, or 7 sp, based on various factors -- and the master skill generates a 12 sp benefit overall, so either Miya refunds the entire cost of her ability now, or even gives the party a profit for firing her arrows.  That's crazy good for a character who was already one of my strongest.  I used the extra skill slot Miya got for reaching title badge 10 to slot in her master skill without having to take out any of my previous skills, which makes her all the more overpowered.

I also unlocked Isuzu's master skill, which is cool, but I can't buy it for lack of shards.  If I did have shards I would get Yayoi's master skill bubble destroyer, since she's suddenly my most important character now, so it wouldn't help Isuzu anyway.

Love Live! Nijigasaki movie 2 came out and it was decent.  I don't like Nijigasaki that much, or the idols in this movie in particular, but Love Live! is such a solid franchise that even its weakest portions are worthy.  I've already watched the movie twice.
