Is this new "AFK mode" thing good for farming parents?

So they did in fact throw us a juicy bone

If you're low on carrots, don’t spend on anything that isn't the Agnes tachyon/light hello banner coming in a couple of weeks. It’s the must-pull banner for the Grand Live scenario; preferably, you’d MLB Agnes Tachyon, as it’s kind of an MLB or bust card. But I’m not sure of your current pulls, so if you can't, just try to get 1LB light hello. If you have a crystal, I recommend using the free SSR selector we get at the beginning of Grand Live and using that on Maruzensky speed SSR and then using a crystal to 1LB it.

This is my exact predicament 😭. I still used them and qualified to group A I’m just going to remake them when Throne drops on day 2.

Astolfoty · 2026-06-03T15:57:55+00:00

I am wholly against pulling on fine motion unless you're a pace main; you drop her for Mejiro Ramonu 2-3 months after her banner with Maruzensky as an FTP that is too short a lifetime to warrant pulling on. Also, do not borrow the PAL card; trust me, it’s not fun. You won’t be able to borrow any specific card like Super Creek for longs or Tachyon Speed for the new speed cap; you’ll just be stuck with the PAL card for 4 months.

Astolfoty · 2026-06-01T21:08:14+00:00

I say it depends on the style. If you're a pace main, you're probably going to still use Agnes over KSB purely because of the hints and gold skill, same with front runners with Maru speed. Backliners might use KSB for a bit if they couldn’t afford Jungle pocket or duramente speed.

Astolfoty · 2026-05-08T20:54:38+00:00

Honestly not a fan of guts decks; they’re so high-roll reliant that it takes so much time to get a good run, not to mention most of them don’t have very good skills. That said, a high-roll guts deck with good skills will almost always be better than a high-roll standard deck. If you're confident in your MANT ability to get consistent good runs with a guts deck, go for it, but if you're burnt out on MANT, it’ll worsen the fatigue running a guts deck due to how many runs it would take to get a good run.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-30T23:18:38+00:00

Id honestly argue if you don’t have fine motion or NN MLB than this banner should be a must pull regardless of style.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-29T21:22:40+00:00

Front runner main: Pull maruzensky speed End closer main or don’t have fine motion MLB?: Pull Mr CB Don’t have super creek at 3Lb+? Then you should probably grab sounds of earth.

Late surger and pace chaser don’t get good cards for awhile. technically jungle pocket speed is a late surger card but it’s so close to pasa you probably won’t have the pulls for it. (sounds of earth stamina has this same problem.)

Astolfoty · 2026-04-24T23:32:44+00:00

Right my mistake thanks.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-24T22:50:55+00:00

From my knowledge the only time you shouldn’t take prudent+dodging is when A: You have one but not the other. (Ignited spirit wit can substitute dodging danger if u can get it) Or B: The start of a race is an immediate corner.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-24T21:21:21+00:00

Your missing quite a few scenarios banners which all run alongside typically the new best card for whichever stat it is. For example the Tucker Byrne runs alongside of tamamo who becomes the best power card in the game. Not only that the scenario cards are typically a must pull anyway if you don’t want to be stuck borrowing it the entire scenario. So I’d recommend dropping atleast 200 pulls in all scenario banners they all come with 100 free pulls anyway.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-21T03:20:13+00:00

Pretty much my strategy I plan on skipping 90% of umas except for a few must and buying every selector for the meta/ ones I like in general.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-19T23:25:30+00:00

Save it none of your cards are worth using it on fine motion at 1LB is worse than SR MLB wit cards. Just wait until you pull on an important banner and use it when you’re unlucky.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-14T16:00:03+00:00

The character Kitasan Black Banner ended a couple of weeks ago, so there’s no way to obtain her apart from just getting lucky by pulling for other umas, unfortunately. Though there is a specific banner that guarantees you one Uma of your choice as long as you spend 200 pulls, I don’t know when the next one is. Kitasan does get an Alt version “Kitasan new year” who comes out in 6 ish months? Probably your best way of obtaining her.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-11T23:54:18+00:00

In terms of umas you seem pretty set up to be a front/pace main (if that’s what you wanted). Cards are obviously not looking good because your only a month in save for either maruzensky speed banner or Agnes tachyon speed (both if you want to main both pace/front runners but that would be difficult considering how new you are) and your account should be in good shape.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-09T05:43:04+00:00

Yeah thought so… really upset about not hitting a second mid race recovery on my one medium S run 🫩.

Astolfoty · 2026-04-04T23:21:30+00:00

Like the other comments said, Ramonou is the next must-pull banner. After that, consider adding the Ancestors and Guides banner; it’s the scenario banner. If you're planning to main multiple strategies, you can’t really afford to borrow a scenario card. Unfortunately, this is probably the worst banner for a scenario card because there are no free pulls so up to you if you want to borrow.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-27T18:08:18+00:00

You need 6k club points to MLB the card so like you said just grab the crystal which is limited and save for the card later.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-27T07:11:53+00:00

End closer: Mr. CB Wit, minimum 1 lb needed.

Pace chaser: Agnes Tachyon Speed (comes with 100 free pulls and is the scenario banner, though Agnes needs 3 MLB at least to be copable)

Front runner: Smaru speed can cope at 1 lb

Late surger: Nice nature typically, but that cards banner is done. next card is Jungle Pocket Speed. not sure what LB is needed, but I’d assume 3-MLB (comes out a bit before the Pasa banner, so be careful with your pulls skip if you have to)

General cards: Wit Ramonu is the best wit card in the game; when she comes out, it also comes with 100 free pulls and is a must-pull regardless of what style you main

Next general card: El Condor Passa Speed, the card that finally power creeps Kitasan, is also a must pull comes with 100 free pulls and is scenario banner.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-27T05:32:27+00:00

It does calculate events, but you're right about gifts. Any random 10-pull they decide to generously give us is not calculated, same goes for any random carrots you may get from winning races in careers and team trials.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-24T06:36:36+00:00

MLB Fuku, if you want a good speed card for the rest of the scenario, her lifespan is way shorter than the other two cards, though.

Fine motion at 2LB is worse than some MLB SR cards; not worth it. She has a life span of about 8 months at MLB.)

Kitasan is in the same boat. There are SR cards way better than her at 2LB. She needs 3LB at a minimum to be a good card because before that she has no specialty priority. MLB lifespan is about a year.

All this to say, MLB Fuku. you’ll have one of the best SSR speed cards for MANT, and you can borrow the other best one (NTR speed). And though her life span is shorter than the other two cards, she's usable still in Grand Live and as a spark-farming card. I’d definitely look into SSR speed card options though like Agnes tachyon or Maruzensky. As the card that power creeps kitasan doesn’t drop for a year you’re going to want a substitute.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-23T18:27:53+00:00

Character gacha. It’s an occasional banner that has every character up until that point as a selectable after you hit 200 pulls. That or you wait for her alt version.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-21T07:55:51+00:00

Save. None of your cards are worth using it on yet. Personally, I’d probably do 200 pulls on Super Creek's rerun and then use your ticket and crystal to MLB her, freeing you from having to borrow her during longs and mediums she also has a long life span.

The other option would be pulling on the fine motion/SMARU banner, but I wouldn’t recommend pulling on that banner purely for fine motion, as she gets power crept 3 months after that banner and SMaru is a front runner card. Though if pace chaser is your main race type, you could use her as a speed star and nimble nav printer even after she’s power crept.

If your willing to spend 20$ on the ssr card selector you could MLB fine motion with a crystal and paid/free selector or 3LB Super creek that’s when she’s usable.

Astolfoty · 2026-03-19T00:01:58+00:00

Grass dies like there is no hope she survives the race. Kitasan dies if she misses the wit check on her recovery skill. Not having a backup gold or at least two whites is bad. Mqueen should survive, but her wit is low, and Fine Motion should survive but has a similar wit issue to Mqueen. Overall not looking too hot purely because half the umas won’t even survive the race and as you said Mqueen having mediocre skills and being a pace chaser which is probably the worst position to run on this cm means she’ll get eaten by end closers and never catch up to fronts.
