Aqours & Muse Special (Child) Scouting

Hello everyone and welcome back to Tiro Finale where today we will be taking a look at the new Special Scout option available in SIF's latest version. First introduced in the JP Server's during April's Fool Day, the long awaited Special Scouting for the child version of Aqours and Muse members have finally arrived in the WW Server! Available until the 31st of August, this Special 11 Scout is available to all players for free as a one time scouting option during the current Summer of Love Live Campaign. 

All nine members in their child form are up for grabs in this free 11 scout with almost equal odds among the 9 of them. Nevertheless, that does not guarantee players would get all 9 members with a very real chance of repeats negating the option of a full squad despite having 11 tries. 

With those terms understood, it was time to dig into the Golden Scouting Box to see how my luck would fare. Fun Fact: this was the first time I had ever done a Special Scouting pull and not be disappointed to see all pink envelopes.

With all the envelopes opened, the final results for Aqours were seven out of the nine members with only Yohane and You missing. These results were unfortunately set back by the overwhelming amounts of "Shiny!" yielding four identical child Mari(s). Other repeats included Chika and Kanan which exhausted all the remaining 11 slots after Riko, Dia and Ruby had made their appearance. 

With Aqours done, it was time to try my luck with Muse's side of the Special Scout. Being a one time scouting option, there was certainly a lot on the line especially when there was no news on when the next time this scouting option will return back into the game. 

Just like with their Aqours counterpart, the members of Muse too also had nearly equal chances among the nine members at 11.11%. Of course, if you did the math, it would actually only add up to 99.99%. Hence, the all important explanation that the odds are actually rounded off to the nearest two decimal points. 

Fingers crossed it was time to make that all important pull! Though I must say, it is certainly refreshing to see the Golden Scouting Box so often without having to invest any of my hard earned Love Gems. 

The final result for the Muse scouting was an almost perfect pull with eight out of the nine members with only Umi missing. While very unfortunate, the key members who I wanted, Nozomi, Eli, Rin and Hanayo, were all present and accounted for. Towards the end of the pink envelopes opening, I was beginning to get fearful when there was no Nozomi in sight.

Eli in her child form looks almost unrecognizable in her ballet outfit and hairdo which she sported while still training in Russia back when. As these are considered to be Promo R(s), they come idolized from the get go and have only a single skill slot. Unfortunately, trading is not a thing and the additional copy you have serves little purpose besides collection.

Rin's shild form was another one I was looking forward too. The skirt that she wears is also an integral part to her backstory where she was often made fun off and teased at a younger age for being tomboyish hence, Rin's apprehension at girly activities or clothing later in life. 

Fortunately, Hanayo was always there to stand up for Rin and vice versa as the two make such a great pair. Hanayo's glasses are also a very nice touch as she is hardly seen with it on when partaking in school idol activities. Moreover, the color choice for Hanayo's outfit also perfectly matches her eye color and personality. 

Lastly, we have the one card I had been looking forward to the most, young Nozomi. Like Rin and Eli, young Nozomi's appearance is also an integral part of her back story as she had to move from place to place when she was younger due to her parent's work. It was not until she was in high school that she decided to stay back in Tokyo alone. But unlike much of her childhood where she was alone, this time she discovers not just Eli but, 7 other remarkable individuals who bring hope to this once lonely girl's life. 

With all of my chances used up, it was now time to train up all the 15 new members that I had received. Lots of time and Love Gems will have to be put in to make space for these new members but, I am sure it will be worth it. As always, if you have any questions about this Special Scout or just the game in general, do not hesitate to ask them in the comments section below. Remember, this scout only lasts until the 31st of August!

Until the next time, thank you so much for reading and have yourself a wonderful day ahead!
