S.T.E.P.

This page is very much incomplete. Please consider helping out by adding to it! (How?)

S.T.E.P. ~Shining. To. Evolving. Performers.~ is a Produce mode scenario that was introduced to the game on the April 28, 2022 update. As of its implementation, no commus are available in this mode, but it will be added at a later time.

S.T.E.P. is unlocked by completing Season 1 of W.I.N.G. and creating a Fes Idol at least once.

Typical produce home menu screen in S.T.E.P. scenario, showing the current season & remaining weeks, season goal info and the points shop button.

Auditions and Lives

Left is a Live indicated by the purple title;
Middle is a Special Audition that awards more fans;
Right is a Normal Audition with lower difficulty;

Successful rate of audition and lives are determined by the current produce idol's stats and learnt abilities.

Each successful Special Auditions awards significantly more fans to complete season goals but has a higher difficulty rating.

Each successful Lives awards a special live ability and +1 affection but has a higher difficulty rating and awards no fans. Live abilities also improve the success rate of auditions and lives.

Auditions and lives of each season are detailed below:

Knowhows

Knowhow books can be acquired after producing a fes idol in any produce mode. 5% of the idol's final stats are being passed onto the book along with some knowhow abilities. Knowhow books are permanent unless manually sold for money.

At the start of each STEP run, 3 knowhow books may be selected. All stats from the knowhow books are being transferred to the current produce idol at the start of each STEP run.

Knowhow abilities from the selected knowhow books are inherited at the end of Season 2, Season 3 and Season 4 for a total of 3 times. The amount of abilities being inherited are random; and the books being shown at each end of season animation are not related to the actual abilities being inherited.

Each knowhow ability has a level from lv1 to lv5 , which indicates their chance to drop during a STEP run with lv5 being the highest chance to drop. Having the same ability on 2 or all 3 books increases the likeliness of the ability to be dropped significantly.

Book merging

Knowhow abilities can be classified as inheritables and non-inheritables. Inheritable knowhow abilities are retained in the new knowhow book after being inherited during a STEP run, while non-inheritable knowhow abilities do not. The abilities do not need to be purchased in order to inherit into the new knowhow book.

The process of combining multiple inheritable abilities into a single super knowhow book is called "book merging". The maximum amount of abilities in a single knowhow book is 20.

List of known inheritable abilities are detailed below:

List of Inheritable Knowhows
Knowhow title	Translated title	Effect	Source	Requirements

Head knowhows

Highlighted sample of an evolved Head Knowhow

The first knowhow on each knowhow book is called the Head knowhow. Head knowhows are unique that they always drop 3 times on each STEP run regardless of knowhow level.

In addition, the inherit process of head knowhows is also unique. At the end of each STEP run, either a new base head knowhow will be generated; or one of the head knowhows from the 3 source knowhow books may pass onto the new book.

Furthermore, if the head knowhow is being inherited to the new book, there is a chance that the head knowhow may evolve to a maximum of +++ version as detailed below:

List of Head Knowhows
Head Knowhow	Effect	Base	+	++	+++

DanceUP	Bonus Da stats
VisualUP	Bonus Vi stats
MentalUP	Bonus Me stats
