;AMAZING!

:A term that awards the player with a clear rank of A or A+, requiring a score between 850,000 to 949,999 points. This level is a minimum requirement for unlocking difficult charts.

;BRILLANT

:A term that awards the player with a clear rank of B or B+, requiring a score between 750,000 to 849,999 points.

;C’UTE…

:A term that awards the player with a clear rank of C, requiring a score between 700,000 to 749,999 points. This level is a minimum requirement for clearing a song.

;DON’T GIVE UP…

:A term for a failed stage, with a score below 700,000, similar to the clearing condition in the jubeat series. Unlike most rhythm games whereas a stage failure may result in a premature game over, the player is guaranteed three stages, unless the player plays on EXAM mode. The splash screen at the end of the song will display "Finish", and there is no clear rank.

;EXPERT

:The third difficulty tier and is the highest difficulty for most of the songs. EXPERT charts are not available by instant and it requires clearing the HARD chart with an A grade or better. Charts are typically rated between 9 to 12 with the lowest Level going down to 5.

:A start mode where Expert/Real charts are unlocked by default and in-game items are obtainable more easily. Either PASELI or more coins (for machines lacked PASELI support) must be paid to select this mode.

;FULL COMBO!

:Glissando is a note that requires sliding across keys. Most REAL charts do not have this notes.

:A judgement indicate that a note is hit slightly off-beat. This score awards no more than half of a flashing JUST for different kind of notes (50% normal notes, 25% for a Tenuto, and 20% for a Trill). Prior to the September 6th, 2017 update, GOOD judgements break combo.

:A hand used to hit the notes, usually colored between Blue/Red (or white, can be changed in options) to indicate a recommended hand to hit it. It is also an AUTO-modifier where the hand that did not select will be played automatically, but doing so will disqualify the player from a FULL COMBO and unlocking charts.

;HARD

:The second difficulty tier based on intermediate players. Charts are usually rated between Levels 7 to 10 with the lowest Level being 3 and the highest peaking at 10.

;IT’S FANTASTIC!

;MISSION BINGO

:Introduced in FORTE, A judgement indicate that a note is nearly missed, hit either too early or later. No points are awarded for a NEAR judgement, but combo can still be incremented. NEAR judgement can be disabled in the option menu.

;NORMAL

:The first difficulty tier targeted for beginners. Charts are usually rated between Levels 1 to 4 with the highest Level being 6.

;PIANIST

;REAL

:Introduced in Op.2, REAL is a fourth difficulty level which are usually difficult or sometimes easy depending on its difficulty and has more complex charts than EXPERT. Unlike the first three difficulties, not all songs have a REAL chart, and charts instead rated in diamonds (1 to 3), and similar to EXPERT, REAL charts requires a clear of A on EXPERT and have enough nos to purchase it. Unlike EXPERT, the unlock can be either temporary for 1 play, or permanently, which usually cost around 20 to 30 times of a temporary play to purchase, though some REAL charts are made available for free for a limited period.

;SUPERB!

:A term that awards the player with a clear rank of S, requiring a score between 950,000 to 999,999 points. This level is usually a minimum requirement for clearing Exam courses.
