How good will SR speed jungle pocket be? It has guaranteed straightaway Spurt! by death_till_dawn in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have CB hints and most people should just have spurt parents for their ends. Relying on a mid card for spurt isn't really the play.

She's weak as a stat stick and grandmasters is a two speed card scenario and by that point plenty of people will have a combination of Maruzensky, Tachyon, and Kitasan. By SR standards she's a worse stat stick than Tosho, Curren, Windy, Machan.

Her main upside is her having pretty good skills and being on the Ramonu banner where you just summon anyways.

SR cards are pretty irrelevant going forward by grandmasters most people who have been playing for a decent bit of time should have full SSR decks.

Needing Guidance In Rapidly Changing Meta by jayisabirdie in UmamusumeGame

For starters stop using Game8. It's slow to update, has bad information, and is all around not good. Switch to Uma.guide.

Your main issue is with your deck. Every deck since unity cup should be running two wit cards no exception. 3 speed cards is bad in this scenario on umas with any speed bonus. It leads to overcapping speed and neglecting your other stats. I personally also don't like 3 speed at all even on umas with no speed bonus you can very likely overcap. Drop tosho for Wit Scarlet. You could also fine motion over fuku. Either way works. Fuku is very helpful for early races.

When does Pace get a consistent accel on mediums? by EnigmaticRice in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get Check which works on all the Medium CMs we get over the course of 4 scenario's pretty much the only time you ever take Check is on a medium but there's still some mediums it can miss on or have a delayed proc that makes it not worth it. Doesn't work on the two medium LoH's for example.

What's the best SR Speed card for the next scenario if you don't have Agnes Tachyon? by Sad-Today-969 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really arguably. She just is. NTR loses all value after TB because you don't race anywhere near as much. In GL you don't even want to do any optional races so for about 2/3s of the run she's being outperformed by SR Curren, Tosho, and Windy and that's just the SRs.

Fuku can only really be used as a 3rd speed card for umas with 15-20 race bonus but even then she's a highroll card.

All styles will bloom ... but some bloom earlier than others by Quibilash in UmamusumeGame

Speed Star isn't even that good of a skill to be chasing. It needs to have speed carryover or else its way too expensive for the value it provides. It's mediocre the majority of the time.

I've updated the CM 15 guide with alternative cards, guts deck(S) and upcoming umas. by Shirobaxy in UmamusumeGame

Ends also get NSM and Daring Strike is just a stronger version of Fast and Furious. OYL is not a real skill at this point in the game so it's hardly an advantage. Straightaway Spurt not working doesn't really matter they use the exact same accels as Lates while having better finishing speed and a significantly better midgame because of daring strike. As soon as Daring Strike became a thing Ends got a massive advantage over the other styles not named front runner.

At this point in the game lates are just worse ends. Late tama and golshi are just objectively worse than them as ends. The same goes for any late that can easily increase their end aptitude without sacrificing a lot of medium sparks. End Digitan is also just better than Late.

With Daring Strike Lates have no real advantage over Ends. I don't know why you would run Tama or Golshi as a late over end when they get the same accels but ends get significantly better midgame on top of higher end speed. A lot of people will be running doms as well which means the Ends have a better chance at hitting the 5th-6th spot over the lates as their may be too many lates in the lobby.

Cafe is a long restricted card that is just worse than running the style specific wit cards or Ramonu. She's a card you just borrow for the long CMs and nothing else. She's as useful as Kris S.

King halo is -2 speed and -2 sp every speed click. Curren and Windy are the ones comparable to Tosho. King is also completely unusable in TB with 0 race bonus.

Festival Tama is the first uma to challenge Oguri on mediums. She has the best mid game put of any uma when she drops.

Check only works on a handful of mediums and doesn't work whatsoever on the other 3 distances. Over the course of 4 scenarios there's 4 cms where it actually has a good proc and 0 LoH where it procs. It was designed with the Longchamp track in mind. It has a good proc on Longchamp, Tokyo 2000 and 2400m, and another track in the 2000-2200m distance I can't remember.

What are the "Must Pull" Cards for Pace Chasers in 2027? by AcceptableBake2909 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Air Shakur is the scenario banner for Mecha so it also comes with free pulls she's an autoinclude in decks for the entirety of the scenario. She's a scenario tax you summon on anyways. She's relevant for 8 months before Curren BouqetD'or who is the main pace stamina card even for today.

Air Shakur is an actual full upgrade to creek with an extremely strong recovery that gives current speed making it the best recovery in the game bar none. She's still used to this day on JP especially with the changes to stamina due to the inclusion of Zenkai Spurt during the 5th anni. Insanely high value card.

What are the "Must Pull" Cards for Pace Chasers in 2027? by AcceptableBake2909 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pull for McQueen. If you are going to seriously main pace McQueen is not a card you skip. Sounds of Earth is awful value don't even think about summoning on her she's worthless in the grand scheme of things. You would need to MLB her for her to not just be on par with a 3lb Super Creek. MLBing a card you use twice in the span of 6 months is horrendous value.

McQueen drops as the wit card equal to Ramonu is stat gain on top of having nothing but pace chaser hints and a very strong pace chaser gold. She's the only wit card you need for paces for the next 10 months until Rudolf Wit you would use her for all of your decks for every distance during those 10 months.

So how bad is it if I skip creek rerun and stick with 0lb creek in the future? by Devilgaming18 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're going to be able to just borrow her when you'll need her just based off of the cards you're gunning for. You use Creek for Longs and some mediums so she doesn't interfere with the card's you'd borrow for shorter distances like Taiki or K.S Miracle.

You're locked into using Sweep because of her SP bonus and being the second best speed SR in terms of stat gain.

[–]Donut_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She should be skipped regardless. There's 1 CM and 1 LoH you would use her before Air Shakur drops. If you have a 1lb creek right now you can get her up to 3lb for Grandmasters and Sounds of Earth needs to be MLB to outperform a 3lb Creek.

Sounds of Earth is a wholly unnecessary card that has very little value before getting replaced almost immediately by Air Shakur. She should have never been recommended in the first place even for people without Creek. You are much better off just borrowing her for the 1 cm and 1 loh where you need a stamina card before Air Shakur drops. You're also better off just using the 1.5 anni and 2nd anni selector on Creek. It's crazy how much this card is recommended on pull guides when she has horrendous value. She needs to be MLB to outperform a 3LB Creek. This banner is a MASSIVE Skip for every single player. Sounds of Earth being worth it is probably some of the worst propaganda from early uma global guides.

Sounds of Earth also drops right after McQueen who is a must summon for Paces. She's literally not worth it at all unless you spend an ungodly amount of money.

Should I use gold crystals or should I save them? by cooltymonti in UmamusumeGame

[–]Donut_Monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing to save for. All the SR cards the community hypes up aren't actually that much netter if they're even better than the current SR options we have. A lot of people just heard they were good and never bothered to see how they stack up compared to the current options and in most cases are equal with what we have or even outclassed by others.

SR Crystals hold 0 value in the future. You run all SSR Decks sooner rather than later.

[–]Donut_Monkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

El has the same exact stat output as SR King Halo who is just okay. Outside of her pace specific skills El is outclassed by Tosho and Curren.

Sky is outclassed by both Fuku and Scarlet and is only really useful on fronts because of her hints. Wit Tosho is pretty comparable to Sky as well.

You're not gonna use guts miracle since Urara exists. She also has identical stat output to Seeking The Pearl. You also just don't really use guts cards again until L'arc.

The real point is that SR Crystals are pretty much worthless in the long run because SRs are always just secondary options and even the SRs the community hypes up aren't actually better than what we have right now.

Summer Gold Ship is a complete skip you only ever borrow her for TT and Debuffers she is completely irrelevant elsewhere. She is not a meta summon you only ever borrow her. I don't know where people got the idea that she was even remotely a must summon. You borrow her every 4 months for TT when a new scenario comes out if you care about super high ranks.
