The fastest crystal sources available are full comboing songs you can complete, doing challenge shows daily for a week, attending live shows, spending event points in the shop while it is open, and reading story episodes through card and event stories. Start with what you can clear and keep up with the habits that add rewards over time.
Start With Easy Full Combos

steps
- Full combo a song on hard for 50 crystals. Target charts you know you can clear to build up rewards quickly.
- Full combo on expert or master earns 70 crystals per chart. Challenge yourself for better payouts but pace attempts to avoid mistakes.
- Use normal charts for practice if your aim is to learn perfects. These do not award crystals but help prepare for harder rewards.
- Each mode gives a perfectionist title for full combos. If you want titles, take breaks between attempts for each mode.
Keep Up With Challenge Shows

Use Event Points Before and After Events

- Use energy cans and select the right characters or attributes to earn event points faster.
