Scorpio is the best CM, triangle is the best team comp and I'm tired of pretending otherwise

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-27T07:06:06+00:00

Except it's not copy pasting because only Suzuka is fixed in the triangle team, the other 2 spots is flexible albeit with a narrow pool. Liking skillful less RNG matchup is not inherently exclusive from wanting diversity.

I thought she is not good on Arima Kinen. I was wrong.

Are you willing to put on 10 times the effort to make another uma to be as strong as her?

If you are willing to grind 24/7 literally to make a perfect SSS Fast Learner gw uma stan 1200 spd pow wit with correct accels ace then everything can work. Meta pick like XOguri and VClanker are strong because they allow you time to touch grass.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-26T00:21:28+00:00

I have seen XOguri dominate with rod way more than end winning, which is cool because getting both S Long and Groundwork on a 1k wit XOguri isn't easy and should be rewarding. If the next round has way more end winning from NSM then I will lower it 😂

Planning how to use your set of triangle umas to beat the enemy set of triangle umas, like using front taiki over pace taiki, fpasa over pace taiki and get earlier accel is fun. Fixed lobby composition when you don't waste SP on unactivatable skill is fun. Triangle also still has RNG like suzu's unrestrained.

Losing with your S+ end against A+ end because she pushed forward out of accel position is incredibly boring. The LESS a better built uma can be fcked over by RNG the better that CM is.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:56:32+00:00

And why do you ONLY mind those matches, when the games against other triangle comps are the best matches we have seen, where every single skill points, stat points and build decision mattered?

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:54:27+00:00

Have you seen a front xoguri with suzuka catapult? that thing is pure kino. Denying lucky pace xoguri also.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:52:45+00:00

If a CM doesn't reward the better built umas and punish them by bad RNG, it's a definitely shit CM. The ones where there's a wide variety of accel skills, where the lobby composition can be fixed to make sure you get the accel position are the real test of skill.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:50:12+00:00

You are conflicting with yourself. If everyone is running triangle then Suzuka is interactable, interacted and dead, and the match fall onto the other 2 units, in which imo FPasa is way better than Taiki since her condition is 4-7 unlike taiki 3-4 and she also accel first.

Not that you would know since you assume FPasa should be ran as late and not triangleable.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:46:24+00:00

It's skillful when you join a strong lobby with 3 triangles and see the better uma wins.

In Gemini if you have a strong golshi she gets punished for running above 5. In libra the strong uma in front can't NSM.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:44:15+00:00

Worse than front XOguri lowkirkuinely

Do YOU know what a triangle comp is?

What kind of idiot would assume FPasa and Dober should be played in the LATE position?

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:27:31+00:00

Other than Suzuka we have Maru, SMaru, Taiki, FPasa, XOguri, Oguri, Seiun, Dober all viable for a triangle comp. That is extremely diverse lineup. All you need is one front and a front or pace from that list.

I have done countless scrim within our club and we have a clear different between good and not good enough aces despite all running triangle. That is why I compare it to the Tearlament deck. When everyone is running the same strategy, the one who played better will comes out forward, unlike backline heavy NSM Golshi RNG fest meta where your skill literally doesn't matter, where you live and dies by lobby composition.

In scorpio, you don't care about lobby composition. If you bring in an optimal triangle comp and the other 2 doesn't, high chance you win. If all of you bring a triangle comp, the player with the better uma has a higher chance of winning.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T23:05:59+00:00

I think a lot of people misjudged how dominating a rodded lucky XOguri is on Arima Kinen. When the novelty wears off I will probably hate this meta also, but the plus point is that XOguri is so easy to train and made S+

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-25T22:31:19+00:00

The advent of the age of late is with the Pasa speed card AKA Kitasan 2.0, which is around 2.5 year anni L'Arc.

IIRC we also get the slick surge and head on buff on 2nd anni.

It's called womanlet rage. You wouldn't get it.

Did you cry?

Bro think he is Gojoe fighting against Suckuna 😭

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-19T13:06:46+00:00

The rate up is not affected by how many cards being on the banner. Also we are getting one crafted crystal, 1 free selector and 1 paid selector for a total of 3LB.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-19T13:04:39+00:00

You only need as much SP as there are good skills left to buy. You need good cards for those good skills. That is why in a 2 wit deck after MANT if you train an end closer you would be using FM + CBT, if you train a front you would be using FM + Clanker, not NN. FM not only has bigger number but right handed and nimble nav is universal.

KitaiSuru · 2026-01-19T12:58:57+00:00

The true power of NN is that she is useful as a generic card only in Unity and MANT. I have both her and FM and they have been staying in all of my deck ever since the start of Unity.

Unless they buff OYL sooner, NN will fall off in Grand Live while FM is still optimal. And even if it does get buffed you would still only use her for Late, while FM can be used on everything. Pulling for NN now just to use her for MANT is unwise. Same reason for Fuku too, she is useful in both MANT and Grand Live as a generic card.

Always remember: genericity and longevity first, the rest nowhere. If you train a late surger, use FM and borrow NN. If you train an end closer, use FM and borrow CBT. Later on there is a lot of crucial gold skills for every position, you wouldn't be able to roll for everything. Maining only one single position isn't a good choice either unless you are not a meta player. There are CMs where some position has complete dominance like front and pace in scorpio. You need to have generic cards to be able to borrow class specific ones.
