Muse Dash Mastery

Overview

In this guide you’ll learn everything you need to know to “get good”.

Intro

Now that you’ve actually clicked on the guide, I can reveal to you that this are actually just stats for nerds.

This guide will use the guide by MendedFool65 about the different enemy types as a base.

Also don’t hesitate to tell me I’m wrong, because I probably am.

Setup

Go into settings and change special effects (submenu “Display”) to low and the framerate to unlimited.

Regarding Keyboard/Controller: Since I’ve never (really) used a controller for this game, I can’t really comment on that. Thus, a quote from the comments:

Originally posted by Fable:

It’s possible to play 11s with a controller and AP them too. Keyboard for the most part is more versatile and easier to play with vs a controller especially on harder songs. It’s just personal preference.

Now go to “Control” and customize the air and ground buttons to your liking.

Keybinding Examples:

For training I would leave the manual fever option turned off and change it to on when you’re perfect at the level.

General Info

All noted points in this guide are considered perfect hits. Great hits are rewarded with 50% of the perfect points.
While early and late perfects don’t give you less points than a perfect perfect, you might want to use them to get more points in combination with fever.

Also, Full Combos and 100% accuracy will not be rewarded with extra points.

Your score might show without decimals, however, it actually has some (as far as I know).

Basic Info About Characters / Elfins

Generally, I’d recommend you to unlock the following elfins and characters:

• Character / Rin / Bunny Girl
• Character / Marija / Little Devil
• Character / Buro / Joker
• Elfin / Dragon Girl
• Elfin / Lilith
• Elfin / Little Witch

An overview of the characters:

And now the elfins:

*like, who you need to achieve the hightest score on most levels

Character / Elfin Combos

Your first choice should always be Little Devil in combination with Lilith. However, since she loses life gradually and needs many enemies to survive, it is not possible to finish most levels with difficulty 7 or lower.

In those cases I would recommend trying Bunny Girl or Joker in combination with Dragon Girl.

Other common combinations are Lilith and Little Witch with either Joker or Bunny Girl, as Fable pointed out in the comments.

There is no elfin which can compensate the damage Little Devil takes per second, except Lilith with many enemies.

A few stats* (Auto Fever, 99%+, FC):

Iyaiya – Easy (1)

Breaking Dawn – Easy (2)

Wonderful Pain – Hard (3)

Iyaiya – Hard (4)

Heart-Pounding Flight – Hard (5)

Frost Land – Master (6)

Evolution – Master (7)

Lights of Muse – Master (8)

*Please note that these stats may not represent every song of each difficulty, but are just here to give you a general idea of which combination might be better in which difficulty level.

Basic Info About Enemies

The mash enemies can only receive a limited amount of points per second, so mashing the buttons faster won’t be effective at some point.

The ends of the sheet notes behave as seperate enemies. Like, you can hit one without the other and still get points, and the endings are also judged in timing.

The gemini enemy also behaves like two connected enemies and you can kill one enemy but leave the other. However, we all know that this will hurt you. Additionally, you also won’t receive any points for the (in example) lower enemy if you don’t also hit the higher one.

Combos

The 10th enemy is the first one to receive bonus points, not the 11th one!

Notes, Hearts and barriers are not affected by the combo.

Fever

Fever multiplies the received points by 1.5.
