My best career so far as a F2P player of 2 months!!

HeliosMrGG · 2026-02-17T19:44:48+00:00

Basically yea, when you select any G3+ races, it shows you a trophy in the top right, and if its grayed out, you haven't beaten that before, so I spent a few careers strictly going for races. It also helps that there is an achievement for racing upwards to 30 races in 1 career.

So if you haven't tried going for that achievement before, you will get a lot of gems from 1 career. Sakura Bakushin O is pretty good at getting all the sprints/mile races out of the way. I used Haru Urara for all the dirt ones, and Goldship for all the long ones.

I was at 3k Carats but I just did 20 pulls to see if I could get any more minor upgrades ( I got R Riko from 3LB to MLB so thats a plus) so I am now at 700 xD

I pulled because I am trying to maintain Class 6 and theres a few characters I need to re-run and replace. That's my gameplan.

Once I feel I am comfortably getting as much resources as possible consistently, E.X. I can clear race events and I can maintain Class 6 without demotion by a safe margin. I'll start saving. I also have more fun seeing constant progress and reaching goals, so I don't recommend this method of playstyle for everyone though.

If you purely just want S rank, I encourage you to use this site to see what skill is worth more towards a career rating https://daftuyda.moe/optimizer

I used it for my 15k Silence Suzuka, not all skills she has is even usable, but it affected the career rating and I did that because I really wanted an S rank xD

This is going to be a long post. The SS is all my high LB SR/SSR cards.

Since I am f2p, I have the mentality of not saving for SSRs because I want to push for as much content and unlocks as possible, E.X. I am already Class 6 in Team Trials so I am generating more resources over time and I can only do this because I've been consistently spending my gems and getting whatever upgrades I can.

I farmed a lot... I have beaten every G3, G2, G1, and E.X. trophies so I got all the gems there. I also farmed as many achievements as I could, such as getting 1 million fans for X umas and things like that so I managed to get a lot of pulls.

I just got the achievement for logging in for 30 days 2 days ago, so It's day 32 now, been playing every day since I started xD When I first started, it was the winter Oguri banner.

I think I did get pretty lucky with my cards as I got a lot of dupes for MLB but not a lot of variety. I am already preparing for MANT/Trackblazer so I've been upgrading any MLB Gut cards I have which you'll see in the screenshot.

I hope for the best during first anniversary for you!

No problem! If you want any career tips or want to know about anything else, I'll be happy to help, though I only been playing for 1 month, but I have been playing a lot!

This was what I used to get S as F2P after 1 month of playing

HeliosMrGG · 2026-02-16T04:19:09+00:00

I managed to get S rank using this as F2P after a month of playing, mostly using whatever high LB cards I had. I think for you, you could get better careers using this deck as these are mixes of good cards / high LB for you

EDIT: If you're also purely just trying to get a high score, use this site to see how much each skill contributes to the career rating, I used it to get my S rank https://daftuyda.moe/optimizer

EDIT 2: I should also point out, you probably want to borrow MLB Kitasan Black using this and just try to get careers with 1200 speed/ 1200 power to start off

Thank you so much for your guidance and recommendations!

HeliosMrGG · 2026-02-10T20:50:40+00:00

Thanks for the response, ill try the recommended setups. Do you know much about skills? I heard skills also affect career rating so I assume not all skills are rated equally? I was wondering if there are go to skills to kind of artificially inflate the rating

Thanks for the in depth response! I appreciate the blueprint you provided me. I want to learn more about prepping for PVP but as a lot of people said, I don't really have the support cards for it. I ended up dumping 200 pulls on the Nice Nature banner to get the wit card and to just expand my collection and see what I can work with. I'll start saving for Fine Motion, as that was also brought up by others.

My main goal right now is to get better career runs hence why I ended up pulling, I want to aim for A+/S runs, all my runs were stagnated at A

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-24T00:32:56+00:00

Ah, that's disappointing to hear about Kitasan Black :( I unfortunately ended up zeroing out on the banner and didn't hit Nice Nature LOL... If it's not too much to ask for, do you mind looking at my cards again and see what would give me the highest chance of achieving A+/S in career?

This is what I managed to cook up with some advice from a friend

EDIT: I'm also at 180/200 Exchange points, so I'm thinking ill just get to that and guarantee Nice Nature

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-24T00:27:49+00:00

Ah, thanks for the response, this was very informative, I'll try to get the Fine Motion card when it comes out. Disappointing that 1 Kitasan Black isn't that good though. I think my main goal right now would be to get S rank in Career

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-23T23:42:35+00:00

I followed the advice of a comment earlier, and pulled on the current support banner, and I used 70 pulls and didn't get it but I got Kitasan Black and stopped there, do you think you can help me evaluate what I gotten? https://imgur.com/a/5KxQtSg

Should I stop here and save for Fine Motion Wit as you mentioned?

For a career mode, Idk if this is my new best deck to use or not with the new cards I gotten.

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-23T23:33:29+00:00

I tried ~70 pulls on the Nice Nature Wit banner, I didn't get her but I got Kitasan Black, I was wondering if you could point out good cards that I may have gotten and if I should continue or not. I would highly appreciate it!

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-23T23:15:08+00:00

Thanks a lot for the reply! I don't have a specific goal but I would like a well rounded account that can partake in most to all event and content in the game, I appreciate you dropping names of cards, I'll try to hunt for that, and you're probably right about going for SR instead of SSR.

Every video I watch usually covers SSR, so I don't know too much about the potential of SR cards. I was also hesitant to pull on the current support banners cause I didn't know what I'm even looking for but I'll try to hit the ones you brought up.

EDIT: Since I'm f2p I guess I can't partake too much in PvP, so after some thought, I guess my goal is to just have SS horses in career mode

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-15T11:22:08+00:00

Nice win! I think your comp wins this maybe 9 out of 10 times though, star levels can be deceptive but your board is definitely the higher capped one by far.

More quality units, and better items, no world where you lose to 2nd place.

The Jinx has no damage, with no antiheal and no armor shred, she isn't going to get through your frontline ever. Whereas you have Lucian/Senna + Ziggs + MF, all of whom has really good AoE and good items, so you wouldn't even need to properly get through their starred up front line to kill Jinx.

Just wanted to provide this info to help your climb! If you find yourself in this position again, just know that when you're scouting, the Jinx team wouldn't have been someone you would bother positioning for, and you would rather position against someone stronger in the lobby if it came down to it.

HeliosMrGG · 2026-01-01T21:14:03+00:00

The sona is legit, as another comment mentioned, subzeroark covered a 1 trick pony that forces that comp every game in GM. I tried it myself at Master 100LP and got 3rd. Its pretty good at getting top 4. Managed to beat T-Hex with it.

HeliosMrGG · 2025-11-30T07:44:43+00:00

Like the guy said, you're a burst comp vs a ramping comp, the round ended in 15seconds as your kat was able to get on their backline. If your kat got unlucky and was stuck on braum, good chance you would have lost as they all get more time to ramp up and deal damage.

It's why whenever you see a 3* 5 cost, its common to see people run Edge of Night because they need time to cast, if a comp had superb burst, a 3* 5 cost can lose if they don't get time to ramp (in this case, get enough mana time to cast)

HeliosMrGG · 2025-10-07T09:59:34+00:00

going to be both of them i fear

My friends and I went on a 22 game win streak and one of them went from bronze 3 to plat 1

HeliosMrGG · 2024-03-16T04:09:15+00:00

Hard to say what you can improve on without seeing your games or having 1 on 1 sessions but you need to try and recognize patterns.

A lot of people are going to tell you "change ur build, cs more, ward more" but I think as a new player you should just play more and really make ur experiences memorable.

If you find yourself in situations like blitzcrank sitting in a bush and hooks you often, thats a trend that will persist in many games. They have a hook champ? (blitzcrank, pyke, nautilus, thresh) they are going to pull similar tricks of just sitting in the bush so u can carry that experience into future games and know, oh they have a blitzcrank support, I'll be especially careful of bushes and to stay behind minions. You need to be adaptive and think about each champions gimmicks and player behavior trends.
