{{Nihongo|'''Madoka ★ Etoiles ~Rondo of Grief~'''|まどか★エトワール～嘆きの輪舞曲～ ''Madoka★Etoile ~Nageki no Rondo~'' }} is a multi-player (local, with netplay planned) puzzle game developed by [http://stlavus.xii.jp/puzzle_magica_top.html Gensou Stlavus -Stlavus of Fantagecc Symphony-]. The game contains gorgeous graphics, a soundtrack composed of arranged tracks from the anime, voice acting and different, original storylines depending on the difficulty setting. Players can choose one of the five main characters from the anime in Story Mode or one out of fourteen in the other available modes. Each character has their own stats and unique special attacks which inflict their own effects onto their opponents.

=Gameplay=
Players have to attempt to make combinations of either four or five Soul Gem Blocks of the same color. The purpose of the game is to "attack" the opponent until their Life Bar is depleted.

In order to deal damage to the opponent's Life Bar, the player must use Soul Gems or create combinations of four Soul Gem Blocks. Combos of four Soul Gem Blocks deal rather minute damage when compared to Soul Gem combos and finishing moves. Soul Gems are created by making combos of 5 or more blocks. To use a Soul Gem, a combo of four or more blocks which includes the Soul Gem must be created. When a Soul Gem is used, the row and column that the Soul Gem was in disappears, if another Soul Gem happened to be in that same row or column, it is also used and chain combos are created in this way. Chain combos allow the player to deal greater damage, with each additional Soul Gem in the combo giving a damage bonus. Creating Soul Gems of the same type as the Puella Magi's gives a bonus to the Magi Bar and damage inflicted.

The character's Magi Bar is increased when a Soul Gem is created, when the Magi Bar is full, the character's finishing move is automatically used and their Soul Gem (this does not apply to Witches) is tainted by a considerable amount. Soul Gems can be tainted by using a Soul Gem but more so when the Puella Magi's finishing move is used. If the Puella Magi's Soul Gem is completely tainted, they will turn into a Witch and lose the match. Damage inflicted is also lessened by the amount of taint in a Puella Magi's Soul Gem.

In order for a Puella Magi to avoid becoming a witch, Grief Seeds must be used. To acquire a Grief Seed, the player must create eight combos of four or more Blocks, how many more combos are needed are indicated by a meter at the bottom of the screen. After a Grief Seed is dropped into the player's field, the player must either create or use a Soul Gem that is adjacent to the Grief Seed to clean their Soul Gem.

The rate at which Soul Gem Blocks fall into the player's field is determined by their Speed stat. Aside from their Speed stat, the player can be granted a large amount of Soul Gem Blocks through Grief Seed Overdrive. If the player happens to have a small amount of Soul Gem Blocks in their field along wtih one or more Grief Seeds and has not created a combo for a long period of time, the Grief Seed combo indicator will flash Grief Seed Overdrive and the player will be granted a large amount of Soul Gem Blocks. The amount of Soul Gem Blocks granted is determined by the number of Grief Seeds in the player's field. Grief Seed Overdrive uses up all of the player's Grief Seeds and can be cancelled/postponed by the player creating a combo.

==Gameplay Modes==
There are three types of gameplay modes to choose from, Story Mode, Free Battle and Survival.

Story Mode - Story Mode plays out like a non-interactive Visual Novel with matches in-between the story sequences. Players can unlock additional characters and difficulty settings through Story Mode.

Free Battle - Free Battle allows the player to fight one match either with a second player or the computer. Any character can be chosen in this mode, including Witches.

Survival - One Puella Magi is chosen and the player battles all unlocked characters. If they lose once, the game is over.

=Characters=

==Magical Girls==

[[File:Etoiles.png|right|]]

Sayaka's stats are focused on Life and Attack however, her Soul Gem quickly becomes tainted faster than the other girls' and her Smash and Finish stats are fairly low. Her finishing move inflicts damage on the enemy while also changing one random type of her Soul Gem Blocks to blue. Playing with Sayaka can be difficult as her special can create more Soul Gems and can cause her to repeatedly use her special, quickly turning her to a Witch.

===Mami===
[[File:Etoilemami.png|right|]]
Mami's stats focus on Smash and Finish and while she lacks a high Attack stat, she has average stats in other areas. Her finishing move, Tiro Finale, inflicts a massive amount of damage and destroys all of her opponent's Soul Gems.

Homura (her appearance is that of the early time-lines) has fairly average stats in all areas but Speed and Magi, which she specializes in. Her finishing move inflicts damage and causes her opponent to be unable to do anything for 15 seconds.

===Kyoko===
[[File:Etoilek.png|right|]]

Tirostello: /* Unlockables and "Block Dumps" */

==Stat Boxes and Character Pictures==
Does anyone think that they can get their hands on a clean version of the characters' stat boxes to include on the page? Unfortunately, stats aren't given numerical values like in Grief Syndrome and I think it would be more helpful for readers if we can include the characters' stat boxes on the page. It's just with the amount of characters that we have to write about, I don't want the page to get too cluttered.

==Unlockables and "Block Dumps"==
These are the major things that I don't understand as yet. I managed to solve the game on Normal as Mami but I didn't unlock anyone, while the game's fun, I don't want to finish Story Mode again and gain no reward, does anyone have an idea how to unlock everyone? As for the Block Dumps, every now and then, a huge amount of Blocks would be dumped, does anyone know why/how this happens?
:I'm not sure myself but as I've said I managed to unlock Moemura & Gertrud on Easy, but now I'm trying to win over Walpurgis Night with Madoka on Normal... I think that when you'll complete the Normal mode with all of the girls the Hard mode will be unlocked.
:About that dump - it's one of the techniques - [http://stlavus.xii.jp/img/puzzlemagica/manual_fig3-4.png Grief Seed Overdrive]. It occurs when you have a small amount of blocks and one or several Grief Seeds and uses them to give you more blocks. You can cancel it with your attack - normal, magic or (maybe) even finishing move. [[User:Chipp12|Chipp12]] 13:38, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
:: As far as I remember, I didn't unlock anyone in Madoka's normal mode. It will unlock just the Hard mode only. The match is quite difficult even for Madoka. Just managed to keep myself ahead of Walpurgis with almost no HP after defeating her quite gloriously the first round and losing a second round. Tried hard mode but that is quite difficult even for normal witches like Charlotte. By the way, I thought you deal normal Attack if you connect 4 gems but the damage is quite minute. Smash is for when you use the Soul Gem to attack it. I think the description should make it clear by stating Attacks are formed from connecting 4 gems. Correct me if I am wrong, when the Soul Gem of Puella Magi gets more tainted the damage dealt become lesser and lesser [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 09:50, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
::: I think they do, I noticed that some time but I didn't know wheter I was right or not. I noticed that regular combos inflict damage too, it's just so small but I'll still edit the page to include that detail. I'm starting to think that you can only unlock characters through hard mode which I haven't attempted as yet. I can clarify that solving the game as Mami on normal unlocks nothing, though.

To acquire a Grief Seed, the player must create eight combos of four or more Blocks, how many more combos are needed are indicated by a meter at the bottom of the screen. After a Grief Seed is dropped into the player's field, the player must either create or use a Soul Gem that is adjacent to the Grief Seed to clean their Soul Gem.

The rate at which Soul Gem Blocks fall into the player's field is determined by their Speed stat. Aside from their Speed stat, the player can be granted a large amount of Soul Gem Blocks through Grief Seed Overdrive. If the player happens to have a small amount of Soul Gem Blocks in their field along wtih one or more Grief Seeds and has not created a combo for a long period of time, the Grief Seed combo indicator will flash Grief Seed Overdrive and the player will be granted a large amount of Soul Gem Blocks. The amount of Soul Gem Blocks granted is determined by the number of Grief Seeds in the player's field. Grief Seed Overdrive uses up all of the player's Grief Seeds and can be cancelled/postponed by the player creating a combo.

==Gameplay Modes==
There are three types of gameplay modes to choose from, Story Mode, Free Battle and Survival.

Story Mode - Story Mode plays out like a non-interactive Visual Novel with matches in-between the story sequences. Players can unlock additional characters and difficulty settings through Story Mode.

Free Battle - Free Battle allows the player to fight one match either with a second player or the computer. Any character can be chosen in this mode, including Witches.

Survival - One Puella Magi is chosen and the player battles all unlocked characters. If they lose once, the game is over.

I don't really have that much to say. I've been a fan of Mahou Shoujo ever since I was young and got into Madoka solely because of that, the "twist" and mind-breaking that Madoka had in it just so happened to also be things that I enjoy in my anime. So, Madoka ended up being a big conglomeration of everything that I loved so needless to say, I loved Madoka too.

I've been following this Wiki for a ''while'', usually just watching it to find out any news about Madoka and decided to join and help. The guys on here are awesome for keeping the Wiki so up-to-date. So yeah.

[[file:Madoka_Etoiles_-_Rondo_of_Grief.jpg|thumb|An interesting puzzle game]]
{{Nihongo|'''Madoka ★ Etoiles ~Rondo of Grief~'''|まどか★エトワール～嘆きの輪舞曲～}} is a multi-player (local, with netplay planned) puzzle game developed by [http://stlavus.xii.jp/puzzle_magica_top.html 幻奏ストラウス]. The game contains gorgeous graphics, a soundtrack composed of arranged tracks from the anime and different, original storylines depending on the difficulty setting. Players can choose one of the five main characters from the anime in Story Mode or one out of fourteen in the other available modes. Each character has their own stats and unique special attacks which inflict their own effects onto their opponents.

=Gameplay=
Players have to attempt to make combinations of either four or five Soul Gem Blocks of the same color. The purpose of the game is to "attack" the opponent until their Life Bar is depleted.

In order to deal damage to the opponent's Life Bar, the player must use Soul Gems. Soul Gems are created by making combos of 5 or more blocks. To use a Soul Gem, a combo of four or more blocks which includes the Soul Gem must be created. When a Soul Gem is used, the row and column that the Soul Gem was in disappears, if another Soul Gem happened to be in that same row or column, it is also used and combos are created in this way which deal greater damage to the opponent. Creating Soul Gems of the same type as the Puella Magi's gives a bonus to the Magi Bar and damage inflicted.

The character's Magi Bar is increased when a Soul Gem is created, when the Magi Bar is full, the character's special attack is automatically used and their Soul Gem (this does not apply to Witches) is tained by a considerable amount. Soul Gems can be tainted by using a Soul Gem but more so when a special attack is used. If the Puella Magi's Soul Gem is completely tainted, they will turn into a Witch and lose the match.

In order for a Puella Magi to avoid becoming a witch, Grief Seeds must be used. To acquire a Grief Seed, the player must create eight combos of four or more Blocks, how many more combos are needed are indicated by a meter at the bottom of the screen. After a Grief Seed is dropped into the player's field, the player must either create or use a Soul Gem that is adjacent to the Grief Seed.
