EN Tutorial

Welcome to Rapsodie ! Open the app and let yourself be guided in the game


Step 1 : Create your label

Create an account and give a name to your label (you can change this later).
Log in with Spotify for a personalized experience!


Step 2 : Choose your first 6 artists

In Rapsodie, we're real nice, you get 7 artists for free to start the game!

The pre-selection allows you to get a balanced team right from the start.
If you've logged in with Spotify, these cards should be picked from your favorite artists.
  • You have a choice of a headliner, and a second strong card.
  • Then you get a booster pack with 5 emerging artists


Step 3 : Play your first battle

To level up in the game, you have to send your team into battles to gain trophies and revenue, in order to grow your label and sign more artists!

It's very easy: 3 zones are available.

Your mission: dominate at least 2 zones of the 3 to win the game. To win a zone, you should strategically place your artists in order to cumulate the most power points.

The battle mode is explained in detail  here⁠ , you'll see it's very easy!


Step 4 : Recruit new artists

The Handshake Recruitment tab of the game allows you to access over 2,500 artists available to sign!

To sign an artist, you have to offer an advance; it's up to you to choose how much more you want to offer than just the minimum required.
Artists don't like cheap players and can refuse your offer if it doesn't align with their expectations, don't hesitate to offer a lot more if you really want the artist!
Pay attention to the indicator at the bottom of the screen which indicates if the chances of the artist accepting are good!

Once you get 12 artists, you unlock the DECK feature! With Decks, pick which artists you're sending into battle.


Step 5 : Level up your artists

Artist statistics

You will notice, each artist has statistics associated to their profile!
Good stats level up your artists and make your chances of winning in battles a lot higher.

There are 3 stats :
  • Productivity : his ability to release a lot of projects.
  • Fame : how known is your artist?
  • Synergy : the ability of your artist to do a lot of feats.

Make sure your artist stats are as high as possible by sending them into  focus⁠  every day!


Focus

A focus is like a workshop, or a work session which will allow the artist to better one of his stats.

Every day, you can use 3 focuses in your entire label.
Each artist can only do one focus per day, so make sure you choose wisely who gets to go to work.

Artist abilities Bullseye

An artist's ability is his power, his secret skill, basically something he does that's different from others.
These abilities allow you to fine-tune your strategy during battles.

Artists can have abilities of the Productivity, Fame or Synergy type.

Observe the game carefully : depending on the zones and the artists you have in your hand, the ability of one of them can ensure your victory by suddenly increasing your team's power, for example, or by destroying your opponent!

You will unlock the ability of an artist as soon as one of his stats reaches 55%!

Another reason to send your artists into focus very often!
The biggest artists often have an active ability upon signing. Less efforts, and more impact in battles!

Step 6 : Customize your artists

Get VVS by playing battles or in the shop, purchase skins for your artists and show off in battles!
And the best part? Artists are paid on each transaction, so you can support your artists and the dev team through in-app purchases.

Skins

Skins are illustrations representing your favorite artists which can replace the basic picture on your card.
Some skins were fruits of a collaboration with artists in France and Belgium, like Tom Six Mille Villar, and some were created by the Rapsodie team.

During special limited-time events, some seasonal skins are available for purchase.


Shards & Certifications

Certifications prove that your artist is doing well on the battle zones! Certifications are visible around the edge of your cards.

To get Certifications, the player collects Shards at the end of each battle, one per completed round (win or lose). These Shards are attributed at random to the artists of their deck.

To unlock a Certification, the player must have a certain number of Shards and a pre-determined R$ budget. There are several levels of Certifications to unlock, all detailed below:

  • R$ to sign new artists
  • Mystery Cards
  • Fragments
You can't move down the Prestige ladder, so there's only winners here :)
