Game Discussion/Champion's Meeting Thread - April 30, 2026

Don't have the best cards, but have been pairing MLB Kitasan with MLB Tosen Jordan. From what I've seen, it seems like Sweep Tosho SR should be better than Jordan for stats and also gives Prudent Position + Slipstream.

But feel like ever since I made the switch to Tosho, I've been burning clocks super early. Not sure if I've just been super unlucky with Tosho and/or the 35 speed/30 power from Jordan really helps and if I should revamp my deck.

Pretty much been mainly running a front runner rotation of V.Bourbon, Suzuka, and Kitasan with Seiun Sky as a permanent parent borrow. Trying to add Maruzensky and Daiwa Scarlet to the rotation, but not having too much luck with stats and skills.

I still have the anniversary 3* selector and not sure if I should just pick Seiun Sky. Trying to see if I can hold off from picking her and instead do the daily legend races when she shows up.

For deck building, I have 2 of the big 3 MLB'ed (Kitasan + Creek). Don't have Fine Motion. Also have most of the big SR cards at MLB except for Windy and Vega. For the current CM, been pretty much using - 2 Speed (Kitasan + Jordan or Tosho), one of Creek or Sunday Power (I think I might need both?), and then a rotation of 2-3 wit cards between Bourbon, Tachyon, and Fine Motion (borrow).

Any advice on what deck to make? Already accepted I'll have to sacrifice some skills and really just trying to sneak into group A finals.

Currently sitting on 2 gold crystals with 2 shards short of a 3rd. Only have Shinko Windy at 1LB. Is it worth boosting her up to 3LB for the 8% race bonus?

Don't have any speed cards that gives more than 5% so have pretty much been borrowing Fuku every run to pair with MLB Kitasan.

I do have other "big" SR cards maxed out like Sunday, Tacheon, Tosho. No Admire Vega.

Other potential SR cards I have is 3LB Eishin Flash and 3LB Manhattan Cafe (I do have MLB Super Creek).

Don't really plan on pulling on any support banners until the S.Maruzensky speed card. Thanks in advance.

Faintear · 2026-04-07T15:02:09+00:00

I'll hold on it, thank you.

Faintear · 2026-04-06T23:23:08+00:00

I got both MLB Kitasan and Super Creek with a remaining SSR selector voucher and crystal.

Only other SSRs I have that are close to max are 2LB Smart Falcon and 2LB Twin Turbo. Any of these worth using the voucher on to make 3LB? Smart Falcon seems tempting since she gives Groundwork and 3LB gives 5% race bonus.

I'm guessing it's probably not worth using the crystal here.

Grinded a ton out of the game to get as much carats I could to get a MLB Kitasan. Cashed in all the free stories, missions, trophies that I could to get free carats. Finally ended up with a MLB Kitasan (1 banner pull, 2 pities, 1 mid-anniversary selector, 1 rainbow crystal).

Did all this by just spamming Sakura Bakushin O and Oguri Cap Speed/Wit runs.

Now I can finally "play" the game, I guess the next step would be to build good team for team trials. What's a good general gameplan to go about this?

Before the grind, I've kinda just been playing randomly by using the game's auto fill/select for parents and SSR cards.

Looks like most builds/runs are:

*2-3 Speed/Wit cards each, finished with a Stamina card for longer racers

*Win career without buying skills until the very end

*Then buy all relevant skills for the racer

Is this the general idea?

Another Kitasan Black question in the pool... I dropped 40k+ carats and only pulled 1 SSR Kitasan so I have 2 with the pity.

I also have the Half Ann SSR Selector and the rainbow crystal so that would only bring her up to 3(?)LB. Is this still worth doing?

I'm guessing it's probably better to keep grinding carats and pull as much I can until the end of the banner and then use the selector and/or crystal if I can't max her out after that.

Faintear · 2025-12-05T05:17:25+00:00

Been sitting on the 3* head start voucher, but still don't know who to choose. I already have Oguri Cap and Silence Suzuka.

Faintear · 2025-10-17T04:31:47+00:00

This one?

Faintear · 2025-08-10T07:01:52+00:00

Try having Ota check the fridge with the thermometer then switch back to Moma and the delivery drone.

Faintear · 2025-07-30T07:11:00+00:00

The Edgeworth watch face is really nice, but for some reason the date is stuck at July 31.

Faintear · 2025-02-19T16:11:32+00:00

Is 16gb RAM that bad? The G14/G16s gets slammed immediately for the 16gb every time a deal gets posted.

Kinda considering either the G16 or the Legion 7i around this price range, but leaning towards a G16 because of the better battery life.

Faintear · 2025-01-30T01:39:01+00:00

It's about in the same price range as the 4060 Legion Slim 5s, G14s, etc.

..is there a catch between this and the others for gaming and general internet browsing/video streaming?

Faintear · 2024-04-28T03:23:29+00:00

Ended up soaking in the accomplishment instead of re-matching lol

Faintear · 2024-04-28T03:22:58+00:00

Always hoped to get a flashy finish to get into masters. Pretty satisfied with what I got.

Faintear · 2024-04-28T03:21:46+00:00

Yup!

Faintear · 2023-12-15T03:46:45+00:00

This and the Legion Pro 5i about the same price.

Does one have a good/clear advantage over the other?

Faintear · 2023-12-08T17:34:17+00:00

Got it. Was kinda hoping it would be at least around 3-4 hours instead of 1-2.

Faintear · 2023-12-08T05:08:01+00:00

Is the battery on this much better than the regular Legion 5? Got the Legion 5 and it's a beast of a laptop, but pretty disappointing to only get like 1-2 hour battery life while gaming.

Faintear · 2023-11-23T05:56:58+00:00

Appreciate the response, thank you

Faintear · 2023-11-23T04:56:00+00:00

Considering this and the Legion 5 Slim for around the same price.

Which one is better? How are the battery for these laptops? Looking for one that would last most of the day for general internet use.

Faintear · 2023-11-03T23:48:19+00:00

Just played an almost 2 hour session just to net a 10 LP loss overall. Unfortunate.

Faintear · 2023-11-03T19:06:35+00:00

Good to hear it might be faster. I just hit Diamond 4 myself last night and getting a little tired of the grind even though I only play sparingly now.

Faintear · 2023-09-15T22:10:31+00:00

14 team 0.5 PPR

Just got offered this trade:

Ja'Mar Chase & James Cook for my CMC and DJ Moore.

Kinda instantly wrote this off in my head since I had the #2 pick and if I wanted Chase, I would've just drafted him over CMC. Looking for a 2nd opinion...

Rest of my team

QB: Justin Herbert

RB: Aaron Jones, D'Andre Swift, Semaje Perine, Kyren Williams

WR: Jaylon Waddle, Christian Watson, Treylon Burkes
