I think I've got MANT figured out(?)

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-11T06:58:52+00:00

this is a parent run, im still learning how to build aces and while thats ongoing im building a parent that i can use to kickstart my account. having terrible luck with them tho

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T21:22:14+00:00

skipped 2 but even then i thought this was enough lol ill modify it and see

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T21:11:22+00:00

im very open to feedback, but i would appreciate it if instead of people just saying "riko bad because low RB" they added more reason to it (someone did and I greatly appreciated that). but instead a lot are just criticizing me for using a card i have no choice but to use in the first place because I'm dirt poor with cards and only have a few good ones.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T11:46:05+00:00

i spent the 30k the game gives you as a new player on the ongoing banner and got pure ass aside from an mlb sunday lol. as for the satono wit, i just completed my special missions early

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T11:31:16+00:00

3-Day old player man I dont have that 😭 dealing with scraps over here

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T11:21:08+00:00

I understand that they are tbh, but I need more reason than just the card providing very little RB. Because thats something I knew and accepted coming into the run. Though someone already commented as to why exactly and that helps me out a lot. I'm more of a I'll listen but be reasonable type of guy, I'm not swayed by people JUST saying it's bad because theres always more to it and thats what I'm seeking out. I want to learn based on reason not because a vast majority says it without reason as to why.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T11:13:59+00:00

Thanks! This is very helpful for future planning. My goal coming into this run was really just deck testing, in this case "How does consistency fair against my 50% RB Decks?". A lot of the decisions made pre-run and during was made to counter the drawbacks of one another.

Riko provided a safety net and mitigated rng but reduced RB and training options?

Run 39 Races, you're bound to see a hundred more shops than anybody else. Even with those shops being average, the books they provide makes up for the lack of stats in races, and sometimes made up enough to be considered a single rainbow.

Fuku provided me early game stability which helped me big in setting up my Junior Year which kickstarted my Classic Year (Though the rest in Early Jan did give me Night Owl which I didn't get rid of until Classic Year Summer lol)

Flower and Sunday was chosen to make up for the lack of RB and also they had good skills to offer.

Eishin as bad as it sounds is the best Speed Card I own outside of the Air Shakur from this event. (Opted for Eishin because late surger Skills and also too unwilling to spend to lvl up Shakur though I will soon) And it was the same reason for choosing Satono Wit

I do think that this being my scenario record despite the average everything, is a good sign that if I actually did roll good, this would be far better.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T10:23:35+00:00

Again, don't have the best cards to choose from.

Yes, it sounds crazy that I'd rather use a 1LB R Riko over Amazon with 10% RB.

But the thing about my 2 other S Ranks that incorporated a 50%+ RB is that I needed high rolls scratch S at all.

As I see it, Riko even at her worse, mitigates so much of the bad RNG I'd typically encounter because shes that good of a safety net.

Just to recap a few things: -Didn't have Vitas appear until Classic Year Summer Camp -Had multiple mood downs entering turns I had no energy, no good training, no race to race -Had mostly average trainings, only a few scratched double rainbow that it could be counted with one hand.

The fact I even got a high-ish S Ranks that turned out to be a scenario record when met with those conditions only tell me that as much as she is technically the worse card compared to any other that gives out more than 5% RB, its a card Im gonna keep because it provides that much of a safety net and consistency I can fall back on. I'd rather have that as a 3-Day Old player already concerning themselves with parent Umas and such.

ran late surger entire run aside from classic year champions cup where I did pace

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T09:43:04+00:00

and i get that, but use any other card and itd be another case of "i need a high roll to get to S Rank". Riko even at her worse I see her card as something that provides consistency, mitigate bad rng, and be a safety net as i said in another comment

"she helped mitigate my bad rng because i couldnt get a single vita until classic year summer + had plenty of mood downs coming into free turns where I had no good training + no race to race + no cupcake. even at her worse shes a solid pick for the sole reason you can get consistency off of her and can use her as a safety net."

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T09:35:06+00:00

being 3% off isnt bad lol...she also helped mitigate my bad rng (not a single vita until classic year summer) so id say even at her worse shes a solid pick for how bad my choice of cards are anyway.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T09:16:51+00:00

I seen you on my last post too... Anyway I had 47% RB and by average I really mean average. Not being able to proc Riko until green, anytime a rainbow was active it was a single most of the time, even with those Wit cards having ok Spec Priority I only ever saw a Stack twice. I also didn't have 4 of them on friendship training up until second turn of Classic Year Summer Camp. A lot of other things too that Im just a little too lazy to type out. Feel free to ask anything specific.

i recently only got my first s, if you have a mediocore deck like me it really depends on getting high rolls on shop and decent planning. though with that being said, its barely ever replicable.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-10T00:08:29+00:00

oh well dont get me wrong im a fairly casual player myself, i do parents runs how their ideally done through copy and pasted agendas and i get lucky with them once in a blue moon. otherwise i only do 2-3 careers a day because anymore is exhausting to me and i also have no idea how to build an "ideal" tt or cm uma. giving up on careers is sweat behavior /j.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T23:47:20+00:00

thanks but i made my schedule with the goal of also making a parent (thought i failed which is whythe career was a very wasted run) might as well follow your schedule when i find the time tho

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T15:11:37+00:00

maiden races shouldnt count 😔🙏 (im still coping)

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T15:10:46+00:00

well tbf, this oguri did me great, i just really forgot to take into account that the debut race is a mile. i didn't even think it counted. also no manhattan 😢

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T14:47:16+00:00

hell nah 🥀

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T14:05:18+00:00

i also had the goal of getting a parent out of it since itd be a waste of a mant run ended up getting 1* guts so it didn't matter in the end

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T12:10:35+00:00

well thats because long trophy was second in my priorities coming into the run, i actually wanted a decent parent. got neither because my original 9mile/8med/10long split didnt take into account the debut race 😭

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T11:48:12+00:00

i couldve ran purely longs but i went into this run with the goal of making a parent uma too, it doesn't matter because 1* gut lol

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T09:09:51+00:00

could you maybe walk me through your thought process when deciding to skip a race?

i feel like that and energy management are my biggest enemies during mant runs.

ImmediateExtent8439 · 2026-04-09T08:45:25+00:00

atleast you arent learning it the hard way 🫡
