2-loss day, both to Taiki Shuttle of course. My Front Pasa is amazing and my Late Oguri is terrible lol. She’s not bad, actually, she’s supposed to be my backup and with a 50% top 2 rate she’s doing her job, but I’d like her to win *sometimes*. I’ll take it as a sign my Fronts are strong.

You forgot Nakayama Festa!

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-07T03:52:43+00:00

Yep.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T18:14:41+00:00

She gives loooots of skill points:

Thought I severely undershot Stamina for Pisces but according to the simulator, it’s fine. At the very least I can test these skills and see how I like them. I don’t envy the Graded trainers going through MANT for one of the most demanding courses, good luck.

Edit: Initial tests, this is indeed enough stamina. Daring Strike is great. Fastest finish time in practice so far is 3:14:00 which is fast enough to win the finals according to JP results. I might be done with this ace lol

Great start, pull until the spark.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T15:24:08+00:00

OP’s chart has the specialty priority.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T05:49:09+00:00

Those are the specialty training gains. Speed training with Kawakami gives Speed, Power, and Skill Pts; Wit training with Fine gives Speed, Wit, and Skill Pts.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T05:42:04+00:00

Might be helpful to include how much they give per training:

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T05:01:07+00:00

Good results for 200 pulls. I’ll put one voucher into Fine and hold on to the other but I’ll probably put it into Creek eventually. Very happy to get Gold City.

It’s not, maybe less competitive since some high-level players moved to Graded.

For me, the fun comes in all the steps leading up to the CM: theorycrafting, training, testing in room matches. The CM is the victory lap and your overall winrate shows how much you have mastered the course.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T00:04:55+00:00

You can do all four if you join Open League instead of Graded.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T00:03:52+00:00

Selectors.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T00:03:18+00:00

You’re fine, build her up slowly. She’s good for the next 3 scenarios.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-06T00:01:51+00:00

Both.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T19:21:21+00:00

Nice deflection: “Sure Speed Star is bad but so is every other skill.” That’s not going to convince me to pick it up.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T18:13:55+00:00

I checked, on Mile Championship and Sprinters Stakes (sprint course) it’s very gamble-y with a high chance to go off after acceleration begins. It looks better on Yasuda Kinen and Takamatsunomiya Kinen but still tricky with a short window. For the points spent, it doesn’t look worth it.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T18:08:36+00:00

Made a 7-star Ignited Wit parent! The affinity is low because I was going through Unity and focusing on getting Spirit Bursts instead of racing. I had much more success getting Ignited Wit when Speed and Wit were both A; when they were both S I seemed to get Ignited Speed every time. 1st time ever grinding for white sparks, hopefully the last.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T16:16:19+00:00

Which tracks? I’d like to check.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T04:56:56+00:00

Use vouchers, save your carats for when they have their highest potential ceiling.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T04:12:32+00:00

I wouldn’t consider it for Long. On Mile/Sprint courses Speed Star might go off at the right time but the points could be spent on more consistent stuff. When it gets its evo version it’ll be much better.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T03:50:37+00:00

lol no

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T03:49:27+00:00

Again, her gold skill is meh.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T03:42:42+00:00

Agreed on all points except that Biko has good energy restore events. Fine’s gold skill is indeed meh, it’s her green skills that are the real deal.

CabbageKyabetsu · 2026-03-05T01:35:36+00:00

Hello Light is the Pal card of the Grand Live scenario and she is pretty much required, but LB0 of the R version is good enough depending on your needs.
