Qpronicle Chord

Qpronicle Chord was the second unlock event of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL. It began on December 22nd, 2014, with phase two beginning on January 28th, 2015 and phase three March 4th, 2015. The event ended on July 28th, 2015. e-amusement was required to play the event.

Unlike Chrono Seeker, this event focuses on Q-pro's story again, and his return to three old locations: Lincle Kingdom from Lincle, tricoro city from tricoro, and Elferia from SPADA. Previous enemies of Q-pro from each game return as partners, while the Joker characters from tricoro return as the main villains again.

Before the song select screen, you are taken to the event screen to choose which island you want to conquer, which you play at the end of your session. After accessing an island, the system BGM of its related game will be played in the menu screens instead of the regular PENDUAL one, though PENDUAL BGM plays when you are inside the Tower.

You unlock songs' charts by defeating enemies on the three islands. The event consists of your Q-pro character attacking a group of enemies by dealing a certain amount of damage. During the battle, pressing the white key at the correct moment can inflict critical damage (multiplier bonus); the more you are precise, the bigger the damage multiplier will be.

You start your quest off with no partners. You can unlock partners one at a time on the island when a blue icon appears on the map. The first partner will join you right away, but you'll need to level up your partner in order to trigger another blue devil icon.

Choosing an island with the blue devil icon leads you at the end of the credit to an unknown area, where you have to fight a magical seal. Destroying the seal unlocks a partner, as well as the NORMAL chart of the song on the chosen island. Unlocking Qpronicle songs' charts ears you Bronze Tran Medals, while defeated enemies give you FRICO.

A total of six partners can be found, two on each island. Three partners can be on a team at a time, with one always the main partner. The partner menu can be accessed by pressing VEFX on the map.

Partners have two bars: level/experience, and "LOVE". Your partners level up by how much damage you inflict on enemies, though the leader gathers more experience than the other two. The LOVE bar will increase only for the main partner. Partners help deal bonus damage throughout special moves when you trigger critical attacks. Chosen partners appear as part of your Q-pro avatar in all screens and boss songs, and their maximum level is 99. You cannot level up your partners in conquered locations (ones with a yellow check mark) until all locations (except the tower) have been conquered, though their LOVE bar will still increase.

The LOVE bar has two uses: it changes the partners' expressions in the after-battle status screen (purely visual and dialogue-related), and unlocks lane cover frames, one for each partner. Partner LOVE levels start off at 1, and can range from from -2 to MAX (level 5).

When unlocking partners, the island with the unlocked partners becomes inaccessible until you have unlocked all partners on that island (and conversely all songs' NORMAL charts as well). Your goal after is to keep leveling up your partners until you trigger yellow and red devil icons on the map. Defeating these also HYPER and ANOTHER charts respectively for songs (and NORMAL when it comes to Phase 2). These will trigger when the total combined level of all your partners reach a certain amount. These milestones are: 12, 19, 28, 38, 48, 54, 55, 56, 58, 66, 73, 82, 92, 102, 109.

Doing more damage in battle means ears you more experience. Damage points depend on the following factors:

  • How many songs you have played in a play session (three points per song, for a possible max of 15 points).
  • How many specific songs you have played in a play session with a specific chosen partner (one point per song, for a possible max of five points).

The partner bonus points are obtained when you play specific songs depending on your chosen lead partner.

  • Rche: Lincle songs and songs in the TRANCE genre.
  • Beridzebeth: Lincle songs folder and songs with with the word DRUM in their genre.
  • Sumomo: tricoro songs that contain the words "8", "princess" or "bit" in their genre or title.
  • ΕΛΠΙΣ: 2nd style, 10th style, and tricoro songs.
  • Faula: SPADA/Spada†leggendaria songs, and songs containing "Ryu☆" in the artist name.
  • Ferira: SPADA/Spada†leggendaria songs, and songs containing "猫叉Master" in the artist name.

The Standard Critical attack, whose damage is multiplied by either ×1.0, ×1.2 or ×1.5 depending on your timing in the battle mini-game, can be increased with bonuses. Said bonus damage is multiplied by either ×1.5, ×1.7 or ×2.0, depending on your timing in the battle mini-game. These critical bonuses are:

  • VIP PASS BLACK bonus (requires the use of VIP PASS BLACK).
  • Daily bonus (triggers in the next credit if VIP PASS BLACK is used).
  • Hourglass of Time bonus (cannot be used alongside the VIP PASS BLACK and Daily bonus critical attacks).

Other than the standard grunts (monsters from Lincle Kingdom and Qprogue, plus characters from songs such as CONCEPTUAL and BRAVE GLOW), you fight rare enemies and super rare enemies. Their appearance is random and the enemy character depends on the game's Space-Time Phase. On the map selection screen, when a glowing icon showing the letter "S" next to an island appears, that means said island may contain either a rare enemy or a super rare one. Rare enemies only give FRICO, but super rare enemies are a bit different.

The five super rare enemies, unlike the rest of the enemies in Qpronicle Chord, take significantly more damage to defeat, and have much more health. Defeating each one rewards you a CS crossover, as well as a Silver Tran Medal.

Once all songs from Phase 1 and 2 are unlocked, you can access the Tower of Time. The tower has an unlimited amount of floors that you progressively climb through after each credit (if you leave, you will resume from the last floor you were on).

On the 5th, 10th, and 25th floors, you will be forced to play the NORMAL, HYPER, and ANOTHER charts respectively of Qproncile Chord's boss song 共鳴遊戯の華 on ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE. Playing these charts will unlock them automatically, pass or fail.

Unlocking each chart rewards you a Gold Tran Medal, while unlocking the Another concludes the event and earns you a Plantinum Tran Medal. The event is still accessible even after, as you may continue to play to unlock any remaining unlockables, as well as obtain new ones as well.

The breakdown of enemies and song unlocks in Qpronicle Chord are as follows:
