Voting on Comeback Apps: Overview & Strategy

Most voting apps require collecting hearts or voting units over time, which are then used to cast votes. While many apps offer the option to purchase these units, success in voting can be achieved if all STAYs consistently collect and meet the suggested goals provided by account bases. Collecting voting units can be done by watching ads, completing tasks, answering quizzes, and more.

  • Voting Periods:

    • Pre-voting periods last only a few days, while live voting windows can be as short as an hour or less.

    • There are six main voting platforms used for music shows.

Below are dedicated sections for each comeback voting app, complete with step-by-step guides and additional information STAYs need to participate effectively in voting.

Voting for Comeback Info & Breakdown 

  • Be sure you follow our main voting team, Team SVS, during comeback promotions.

  • They organize mass-voting, open voting teams (if required), and run analyses to keep STAYs informed about current rankings!

  • During comeback, STAYs mainly use 6 voting apps to focus-vote for Stray Kids for music shows!

Idolchamp

Idolchamp is the app used for pre-voting on MBC M SHOW CHAMPION and other polls that helps in the promotion of Stray Kids.

COMEBACK PRE-VOTING & IDOLCHAMP OVERVIEW

🩷 Never Expires
💙 Expires the last day of the month at 23:59 KST

IDOLCHAMP is used for Show Champion Pre-Voting. Since there is no live voting, the gap during pre-voting matters significantly. We need to secure 1st place with a large margin to earn the highest possible points.

  • Pre-Voting Details:

    • 20%, 2,000 points

    • Each vote requires 3 Hearts.

    • Each account is limited to 300 votes per day.

    • The pre-voting period lasts for 4 days, requiring 3,600 hearts (combination of 🩷 & 💙) per comeback week.

 

We recommend STAYs prepare a minimum reserve of 10,800 hearts (3 weeks' worth) before the comeback, but 14,400 hearts (4 weeks' worth) is ideal for maximum weekly votes.

Collection Tip:
If we aren’t focus-voting at the end of the month (last 10 days), delay completing daily quizzes until after the monthly reset. Daily quizzes expire after 10 days, and this approach helps preserve 20 💙 per quiz. By waiting, you can complete quizzes after the reset to immediately boost your reserve by 200 💙 at the beginning of the month.

Keep these strategies in mind when a release date is announced to ensure optimal heart reserves for comeback voting.

Mubeat

Mubeat is the app used for pre-voting and live voting on MUSIC CORE also other polls that helps in the promotion of Stray Kids.

COMEBACK PREP & VOTING OVERVIEW FOR MUBEAT:

MUBEAT is used for pre-Voting and LIVE Voting for SHOW! MUSIC CORE.

🗓️ Pre-Voting Tracking period: 

→ Music Core: Tues 18:00 - Thurs 11:00 KST

💜 Heart Beats Expire 90 Days after collection

 

Multiple accounts per device are allowed. There are restrictions on how many ads each device can watch every 24 hours, watch all ads on 5 accounts per device.

 

৹ Pre-Voting on costs 3 Heart Beats per vote. Max daily Voting is Unlimited.

 

3 Beats per Vote x 50 Votes a Day = 150 Beats a day

3 Days of Prevoting = 450 Beats a Week

30 Beats per Live Vote x 5 Live Votes per Account = 150 Beats per Week

 

TOTAL PER WEEK: 600 Beats per Account

MINIMUM SUGGESTED RESERVE: 3 weeks (1,800 Beats)

SAFEST RESERVE: 4 Weeks (2,400 Beats)

‼️ LIVE VOTING for Music Core is limited per account to 5 Live Voting tickets which cost 30 Beats per ticket (150 Beats for 5 tickets) and are Non-refundable so wait to exchange Beats for Live tickets till bases make announcements to exchange.

The GAP MATTERS in the LIVE VOTING for Music Core; we need 1st place with a large gap for points the highest amount of points possible.

 

You can also purchase 5 Voting tickets per account for $1.99 USD but again they are non-refundable and do expire after 30 days.

 

📍TIP: If you plan to purchase instead of collecting on Mubeat it is worth spending $4.99 on STAR BEATS and using them on the games to win Heart Beats instead, that way you get your 150 to exchange for Live Voting tickets and replenish your reserves with any extra you win. One of our team members does this on 5 of their accounts as a backup or to help top off some of their accounts before every comeback, they usually average 30-50 Beats per spin on the roulette game and with 50 spins usually replenishes 1 account with 1000-1300 Beats for $5.
