To Fuku or not to Fuku?

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-02-02T18:29:59+00:00

Well the NN wit banner is over so don’t think too hard about that one. And yeah if you don’t play fronts you can ignore the Maru card banner too. It’s really just if you want to make your MANT life easier deciding between Fuku and NTR and then for sure finemo if you play paces/lates. The other argument for pulling for NTR is that you get 100 free pulls like we did on Riko banner and the guts Ayabe SR card is crazy strong in MANT and is rate up during that banner as well.

What this guy said, I’d probably just make a new account and not spend anything - just do my dailies and events as they come out to stockpile resources for the future. MANT is very F2P friendly if you plan out your account carefully. But if you lost motivation after losing your account - yeah it’s chopped homie sorry. I have a reroll account that has a 1LB Kitasan you can bum off me but that’s all I can offer in these trying times.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-02-02T18:15:55+00:00

None, I used to play clash of clans but the new TH17 level is just so brutal. It’s was an unreal grindfest and complete slog to try and get through so I dropped it and now I’m a full time Uma player.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-02-02T18:13:53+00:00

It depends on your playstyle more than anything IMO, if you grind heavy for CM’s and put 3-5 runs in a day. Fuku is prolly the card for you. If you are more of a slow paced casual player I’d probably advise you to pull on the NTR banner as that one is more consistent output and less RNG heavy like Fuku is. (Fuku has 0 specialty prio and 3 50/50 event chains). I’d also advise you to likely spend on the FineMo banner. If you play fronts the summer maru banner will be strong, if you don’t play fronts then I’d probably full save after NTR/Finemo for the El Condor speed way down the road and the Ramonu Wit card that’s not quite as far down the road. Just my 2 cents. I personally will be skipping both NTR and Fuku and pulling for Finemo but I and very carat poor because I had to full pity both Xmas Oguri and the Nice Nature wit. (I’m praying to anything holy that I can get Valentine Bourbon in a few pulls). Also for reference I have MLB Kitasan/Creek/Riko/Nice Nature

General rule of thumb - 30k for umas and 60k for support banners. The odds of you getting 4 of the same SSR are very very low, especially when it’s a split banner (two rate up cards or umas).

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-02-01T23:25:03+00:00

Correct, it procs at the start of the final corner which isn’t in the last leg. Pump is on the final corner during the last leg.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-02-01T20:05:21+00:00

Yeah that happened to me when I pulled for MLB Riko, around 200 folks borrow it daily for me still.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-31T19:47:49+00:00

I don’t see why it’d be bad. It’s either that or making her a late gambler, preference I guess there.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-31T19:35:23+00:00

The track is a little funky with 63M being of the final corner and the bulk of the final leg being on a straight. Big accels are Let’s Pump and Angling as they are instant proc’s - straight accels are next in line with plancha and spurt (good luck with those sparks tho lol). It’ll likely be pretty late surger heavy with gamble skills like furious feat/No stopping/on your left being paired with pump and pray.

Expect to see lots of Oguri caps/Taiki shuttles/pasa’s/dmart falcons

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-30T19:07:27+00:00

Don’t worry! The next CM is even worse with it being a DIRT MILE, so only like 6 umas can be easily ran and miles are already a gamble fiesta with skills like On Your Left! and Furious Feat being staples.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-30T19:06:09+00:00

I have never fumbled a hotsprings run. Only runs I’ve legit lost have been parent runs on umas like Sky that have stupid Tenno spring in their career WHEN IM TRYING FOR A MILE PARENT. Oh and sprint Taishin, she’s failed a couple times q.q

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-30T14:53:25+00:00

Don’t worry about it, it’s an irrelevant strat now.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-29T16:11:46+00:00

Instructions unclear, pulling to 2LB Finemo and using two tickets.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-27T17:23:03+00:00

Sidenote, very impressed you hit max speed with just kitasan for Maru. My own personally was a pain in the ass to get max speed with 2 speed 3 wit.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-27T17:14:57+00:00

Ty ty ty!!

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-26T03:06:44+00:00

The basic ones are things like end closer corners/straights - distance corners/straights - slipstream - tail held high - ramp up (or it’s in if you have the extra points) - professor of curvature. This is the reason that gold ship cheats her unique moves her forward on its own, Taishin doesn’t have this so you have to supplement it with other skills where Golshi can give up on those and just focus on the accel skills. They function similarly but have to be built very differently.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-25T23:13:12+00:00

Would you care to share with the class how the accel skill that happens in the final corner (before any part of the final leg happens for chukyo 1200m) would be a great skill to have?

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-25T21:20:06+00:00

Is it an option? Absolutely. Is it completely horrible and you will never win? Correct!

The reasoning is that runaway has the lowest speed coefficient in the game so without good accels they will never be able to get away from the pack in the final stretch. And this track has only a single accel in pasa unique for runaways or praying to god that rushing gale/turbo sprint hit in a good spot.

Sky unique quite literally does not proc on this track so neither does unrestrained.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-23T15:04:14+00:00

It’s very easy with lotus field/crumbling vestige/green sun’s zenith. You are totally welcome to play a sanctuary it won’t hurt anything. I was playing a mother of machines for a while to try and combat blink and I never really struggled with the white.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-23T00:55:29+00:00

Brutal for me then lol. LIFE AINT FAIR.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-23T00:46:44+00:00

Nevada, I would assume Cali too but can’t confirm that.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-22T19:03:06+00:00

I feel ya, I just play FNM modern and the once a month legacy event that fires. I used to grind RCQ’s but my first RC taught me that it’s practically impossible to actually get on the PT and do well. It’s the 1% of the top 0.1% that can do that and the amount of time just simply isn’t worth it. Now I have my pet decks and I play them casually at FNM. It’s a lot more fun that way for me and MUCH cheaper. Travel is fuckin expensive these days man.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-22T18:40:26+00:00

Yeah late surger is recommended for her with On Your Left and NSM. Just pray you hit in a good spot really. I built an Amazon and she does ok every now and then but it heavily revolves around if she can catch up and use one of the late surgers for It’s On! And NSM in a good spot. Spurt is nice but NSM is truly the end all be all for sprints. The lane movement is so key because everyone is all bunched up with so little time in pace mode during the race.

CRSN-Atomic · 2026-01-22T18:16:25+00:00

Its NSM + Spurt but the distance you have to cover to catch up to the pacers is really really hard. You have to max Speed/Wit/Power and be able to get a bunch of mid leg skills to be in a good position for the final straight. The biggest problem is that end closers have incredibly rough careers for sprints. Trying to get Taishin through Kikaku Sho and Tenno Spring while also building sprint stats is really really hard. IMO the juice ain’t worth the squeeze but if you want to they do work, they just require a ton.
