On May 1st, 2015, the second difficulty downgrade was introduced. Orbs for the first six songs can now be obtained on BASIC, and MAX.(period)'s orb can be obtained on DIFFICULT leading to Over The “Period” on BEGINNER. However, on Double Play, where BEGINNER is not available, Over The “Period” will be played on BASIC instead.

From July 2nd, 2015 onwards, orbs for the first six songs can now be obtained on BEGINNER. Max.(period)'s orb can be obtained on BASIC, leading to the same difficulties for Over The "Period" as above. In addition, when Over The “Period” is cleared as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the standard Thank You For Playing screen becomes a picture of RINON walking into a white light with the words "Replicant D-ignition" and "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" displayed. Should the player re-enter Replicant D-ignition after clearing Over The “Period”, the orbs go back to their 1st Phase brighter color.

From July 23rd, 2015 to August 6th, 2015, for players who had not unlocked all of the first five Replicant D-ignition boss songs yet, the amount of NITRO obtained is doubled.
From July 23rd, 2015 to August 6th, 2015, for players who had not unlocked all of the first five Replicant D-ignition boss songs yet, the amount of NITRO obtained is doubled.


On August 6th, 2015, the Replicant D-ignition event effectively ended, and the Replicant D-ignition folder is no longer accessible; instead, any songs with filled NITRO vials appear in the ''EXTRA ATTACK'' folder. Neither RINON nor "The Dark One" are unlockable for those who did not unlock them during the event. At first, only the BEGINNER and BASIC charts of the five NITRO-vial songs are accessible; further charts must be made accessible one at a time by unlocking all prerequisites for normal play via ''EXTRA ATTACK''. For the five NITRO-vial songs, the prerequisite for accessing a chart is simply its lower difficulty (that is, unlocking a song's BASIC chart for normal play gives access to that song's DIFFICULT chart on EXTRA STAGE, and so on for EXPERT).

Neither RINON nor "The Dark One" are unlockable for those who did not unlock them during the event. At first, only the BEGINNER and BASIC charts of the five NITRO-vial songs are accessible. To access more charts in EXTRA STAGE, all prerequisites for that chart must be unlocked for normal play via ''EXTRA ATTACK''. For the five NITRO-vial songs, the only prerequisite for a chart is its lower difficulty (so for example, unlocking HAPPY☆LUCKY☆YEAPPY's BASIC chart for normal play makes its DIFFICULT chart accessible on EXTRA STAGE, and so on for EXPERT).


Unlocking all five BASIC charts gives access to EGOISM 440's BEGINNER and BASIC charts (thus marking the first time it is playable every credit instead of once per six credits). From here, the prerequisites for accessing EGOISM 440's DIFFICULT and EXPERT charts are to unlock its lower difficulty for normal play ''and'' unlock all five charts of the same difficulty for the previous five songs. Unlocking EGOISM 440's BASIC chart also gives access to MAX.(period)'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts, and the prerequisites for accessing its DIFFICULT and EXPERT charts are to unlock its lower difficulty ''and'' unlock the same difficulty under EGOISM 440. Similarly, unlocking MAX.(period)'s BASIC chart also gives access to Over The "Period"'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts, and the prerequisites for accessing its DIFFICULT and new EXPERT charts are to unlock its lower difficulty ''and'' unlock the same difficulty under MAX.(period).
Unlocking all five BASIC charts gives access to EGOISM 440's BEGINNER and BASIC charts, making this the first time it is playable every credit instead of once per six credits. EGOISM 440's DIFFICULT and EXPERT charts have two prerequisites: its lower difficulty, ''and'' all five charts of the same difficulty for the previous five songs. (For example, to access EGOISM 440's EXPERT chart, the player must unlock EGOISM 440's DIFFICULT chart as well as all five EXPERT charts for the five NITRO-vial songs.)
 
Unlocking EGOISM 440's BASIC chart gives access to MAX.(period)'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts. Again, MAX.(period)'s DIFFICULT and EXPERT charts have two prerequisites: its lower difficulty, and EGOISM 440's chart of the same difficulty. Similarly, unlocking MAX.(period)'s BASIC chart gives access to Over The "Period"'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts, and Over The "Period"'s DIFFICULT and new EXPERT charts have two prerequisites: its lower difficulty, and the same difficulty under MAX.(period).


Finally, unlocking Over The "Period"'s EXPERT chart gives access to MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart, which when unlocked gives access to EGOISM 440's new CHALLENGE chart.
