UlasanAnime.com – The seventh week of DereSute brings a mix of delightful rewards and a few unexpected hiccups, as is often the case with this popular idol-raising simulation game.
While a dedicated wiki exists for those seeking in-depth information, many players find themselves turning to alternative resources, such as community-driven sites, for the latest insights and strategies. This blog post aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current event, drawing on community observations and game mechanics.
The current Caravan event revolves around item drops that are influenced by several factors. Players can increase their chances of obtaining valuable rewards by optimizing their performance in various aspects of the game.

These factors include:
- Score Rank: Achieving higher ranks, from C to S, directly correlates with a better chance of receiving drops.
- Difficulty: Tackling more challenging songs, ranging from Debut to M@ster difficulty, also enhances drop rates.
- Color of the Day: A daily rotation assigns a specific color, offering a boosted drop rate for songs matching that color.
- Center Idol’s Star Rank: The Star Rank of the idol placed in the center of your team provides a percentage increase to the drop rate for each rank achieved.
According to observations from the Japanese Twitter community, the SR (Super Rare) drop rate can reach approximately 15% when all these criteria are maximized, including a Star Rank of 15 for the center idol. While players can manipulate these variables to their advantage, there are diminishing returns. For instance, the difference in drop rate between a 18 Stamina M@ster song and a 19 Stamina M@ster song might be negligible. Similarly, the gap between an A rank and an S rank in score might not be as significant as one might expect.
However, the difference between Star Level 5 (for Normal rarity idols) and Star Level 10 (for Rare rarity idols) is quite substantial. Consistently achieving an S rank with a Normal rarity idol in the center can be exceptionally difficult, especially without strong SSR (Super Super Rare) idols to support the team. The added benefit of five extra Star Levels might not compensate for the potential drop in score rank from S to B.
Based on anecdotal evidence and limited data samples, it appears that certain idols, like Honoka, tend to drop more frequently than others, such as Syoko. While some reports suggest a 2% drop rate for Syoko under optimal conditions and close to 13% for Honoka, these figures are subject to interpretation. Anecdotal observations suggest an inflection point in the drop rate formula. If this threshold isn’t met, the drop rate remains consistently low. Once surpassed, however, the rates can climb into the double digits. Several players have reported acquiring over 10 Honoka cards halfway through the event, and most active players have already obtained at least one.
For those players who engage with DereSute more casually, acquiring these SR idols offers a long-term benefit: they can be used to strengthen your support team. The support team consists of the 15 strongest idols outside your active five-person team, which are automatically selected when you choose a team for a live performance. Another long-term strategy involves cultivating three idols with high Star Ranks. This will enable you to efficiently farm future events of this nature, or even the current one. The maximum Star Rank for SR idols is 15, making the acquisition of 15 Honoka cards a priority for those aiming to farm other desirable idols, like Syokos, in subsequent events.
This strategic approach forms the core of maximizing rewards during the Caravan event. However, the game has seen its share of unexpected developments. Dedicated players, referred to as “hardcore Ps,” reportedly managed to summon large numbers of both featured idols on the very first day of the event due to a miscalculation in the drop rate for lower-difficulty songs by the DereSute team. Furthermore, an announcement regarding card drops for the next event, heavily rumored to be “Nation Blue,” was mishandled, adding to the week’s mix of treats and tricks.
DereSute has been generous with its rewards this week, making the occasional missteps more forgivable. The campaign for gems has also been extended by an additional 15 days, encouraging players to take advantage of the opportunity for more ten-draws.
