Lives are the central gameplay feature and require LP items to execute. During a Live, rhythm icons approach a cursor and must be tapped, held, or swiped accordingly. Throughout the performance, Support moments let Idols perform Appeals to raise the score. Kizuna, or Bonds, are special Appeals that enable two Idols to perform together. When the Kizuna between two Idols is fully developed, a unique description for the pair appears on screen. Compared to the original Mobage version, LIVE ON ST@GE introduces new SSR cards. Both SR and SSR cards include full-color illustrations. Idol leveling is now divided into Lessons and Special Lessons. Regular Lessons use P Points to increase levels, while Special Lessons use P Memos to transform cards into their new outfits. Duplicate cards now enhance the power and level cap of their original counterparts.
