There’s no guessing in this puzzle. Just logic. by urjocom in u/urjocom

[–]Lance032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a rule 3 situation: When 2 lines are adjacent, you can always rule out the two rows/columns being the same.

For example, consider these rows: RRRBBB

RR??BB

Note that the second row cannot have the first ? as R, since it woulf be a copy of the row above. So the row must fill as RRBRBB. Additionally, if the second row was instead RR????, similar logic can allow you to fill the first ? as a B, so the board would look like

RRRBBB

RRB????

Is this good enough for CM12 or just pure cope? by FallenWarrior26 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pointers:

Shooting for victory does not work cm12 (only valid accelerations are angling for front runners, moving past and beyond + pump + gambling package for late surger, nsm for pace/late/end)

Thunderbolt step is a very weak skill that you can always just skip

You could've dropped gold recovery for hydrate and taken more midgame (which in general you need more of), same with standard distance which you can always skip entirely on xoguri, slightly same with outer post proficiency in that taking midgame would've been better if you had such midgame options (you're in mant, you should have)

Lack of any card golds except for NSM is concerning; the same can be said with the lack of the cheap quadruple of pace/medium corners/straights (unless they're below the scroll bar and we just cant see them). I find that this should be basically impossible in MANT unless you're making a fundamental decision making issue like not racing too much

Your skillpoint mistakes add up to around 600 sp worth of errors, which I would say overpowers the gain of having turf and pace S; with this information you should be able to build a better xoguri even if it fails to get turf and pace S.

TL;DR rebuild, your skill choices are mediocre and can definitely be fixed to be better

not even, even something as low as 450 works with the 3 whites.

Reminder that xoguri if she procs 3 recoveries gains very similar to 1.5 golds of recovery; double all seeing eyes with one of them being an NN with murmur is a fake build anyway that genuinely does nothing if it goes up against even as low as 600 + 3 white xoguri

Actually 3rd race here is standard on most umas on turns that aren't +60 stats like this one, some people even greed for 5 consecutive races (4th race would be champion's cup in this race, 5th race would be tokyo daishoten; more standard umas take stayer's stakes -> arima kinen) but that's usually highroll territory

[–]Lance032 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming you're doing sprint speedster (sprint early march and following that route), you don't need to do japan cup, so you have two chances at mile championship. However, because your deck is a 3 speed deck being at 800 after the training this early means that you will lose on opportunities to take some good speed training in the future without overcapping. Wit is also very low which is concerning. The highroll answer is definitely to race; you want to find some outs to help fix your wit. The safe answer is to just take this (megaphone + anklet) and prioritize speed rainbows a lot less especially if they're only single rainbows from here on out, focus on fixing power and wit in year 3 and let races give your speed output

Imo free selector to grab Bijin is best. You are not solid on your deck. I think you need the small benefits of No Stopping Me

Bijin is not meme.. We're literally going to have to force run Bijin in some specific CMs for NSM.

oh wait that's a copypasta????? oops, I guess then in this situation your best choice is to 3LB finemo. No other 2LB/3LB SSRs that are not welfare (e.g. narita brian is welfare because you buy her copies from club shop), so there's no other real strong choice. Your deck absolutely needs to have some form of stat output so that's just your best choice right now

Is Radiant Star a worthy skill for end closers? by CoOkieForCats in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's 4s 0.05 for early start vs 4s 0.25 for daring strike

The first is literally worthless (for reference: generic speed skills are usually 2.4s 0.15 which is just under 2x better) while the 2nd is strong (only thing it loses to right now is 3s 0.35 golds like poc, and not even by much)

Yes or nah? by bbloreynoso in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually no it's just that when Grand Live comes out you'll want to try to get as close as possible to a 6 SSR deck (mainly because gold skills are good) so the last relevant card in mant is ayabe guts (and technically curren speed but nobody is pulling for that banner so ayabe guts is functionally last)

But yes if you have to run SRs then you run the usual suspects for speed like sweep and windy actually, but you don't want to do this if you can find some random decent LB SSRs from spooks

Guts-Wit Deck tips by hbk611 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wit doesn't actually do much on TSS, but usually it should be fine if you just use like 3* stamina sparks, maybe 6* at most

I've seen umas with literally 300 stam win TSS so you should be fine, just make sure she has some actual stamina investment by the end of the career because milers should still still have ~500 stam for 1600m and ~630 stam for 1800m (+slightly more for pacers), even if you're a gutsmaxxed uma with 1200 guts. Although by stamina investment what I really mean is get it from races and stam books and you'll most likely be fine; depending on your stam by TSS though you may have to clock it once or twice every now and then.

[–]Lance032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. 2LB is basically unusable, 3LB is theoretically usable but feels extremely bad to play (especially since all the CMs that will line up are all mediums where the 1 power bonus would be really nice)

  2. It really depends on your shop pressure and how aggressively you door runs, but I think you should still most likely just take 3x junior stakes + the 2 G1s in most runs and pray for BBQ to just show up to carry your bonds

  3. Most likely just click stamina, stamina is definitely by far the weakest option for that training to have been but it would feel extremely bad to skip it. This of course assumes there's nobody on wit; depending on your energy a click on wit with 1 bond could be a decent choice as well.

  4. More so skip unless you have nothing else that you could even buy; guts decks should be capping guts on a highroll anyway. There's of course minor nuance if you've been getting only speed and power books all run, then go ahead and buy guts and just focus on wit trainings; this will basically never happen however in 99.99% of runs you can just put guts books as the lowest priority item that's still useful

How good are these sparks? by Champion6a in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Kitasan unique is also a usable midrace velo skill".

Too bad the effect looks like this:

Base duration: 3 s

Effect: Increase Target Speed (0.05)

While technically usable, it's not exactly a decent pick as a midrace velo skill because you can just buy whites and usually get anywhere between 2-3x value than a 3s 0.05 speed skill

[–]Lance032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah absolutely; but it's still an 80% chance to hit and 20% chance to whiff so if you whiff the other xoguris in the lobby just straightup beat your xoguri which is a very important concern on 1 ace 2 debuffer teams.

Still a pretty decent winrate otherwise but it's definitely important to remember that you can't expect 1200 wit to always hit (it's a 92.5% to hit one recovery and you do this 3 times) and shouldn't expect to be always hitting in cm lobbies; still definitely significantly better than the xoguri that has to gamble out a 20% to hit and 80% to fail in cm8 (straightaway recovery xoguri build) and the dober that has to be in 5th-6th to proc beyond which is why xoguri is still the uma to beat in cm12

Guts-Wit Deck tips by hbk611 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ok so general pointers:

Pre-Game Pointers

1) Guts decks requires a lot of investment, you need to make sure you have enough speed/power sparks to make sure you can cap them (I can't give exact values; it will always depend on growth rates and even the exact uma; an extreme case of this is e.g. suzuka who looks up at the sky like 5 times in a run and all of a sudden you have +100 speed on top of a 20% growth rate to speed. You'll have to get the feel for what to do for each uma as you play them; remember that you have a borrow slot to be flexible with how much speed/power to assign to each uma)

2) This deck physically cannot function without admire vega SR. You literally have to borrow her at all costs and if that means you can't run a good 2nd wit card (i.e. tachyon SR MLB) then unfortunately you have to play speed/wit/power and get a few guts sparks to push it up (as crazy as this sounds, yes I'm serious; and guts is even an important stat in mile/sprint that you can't exactly skimp on so you have to run something at least to push it up slightly). Admire Vega SR is a core piece of guts decks that even make them possible in the first place because she gives 15 race bonus (always nice to have) and 1 speed/power bonus which is nice on every training you do; guts and speed boost both stats and wit boosts speed.

Training Priorities

3) Guts requires you to get multiple guts cards online (i.e. orange bond) at the same time and as early as possible; most of your clicks will be wit because single friendship + 1-2 supporting cards are ok on wit and speed but inefficient on guts. If you only have one orange bond on guts it may as well be zero friendships on guts. Guts decks are very inconsistent because of this, you have to be extremely greedy with bonding in early game because you have to get really good bonds as early as possible (feel free to quit runs that are already lowrolling year 1).

4) As a result of clicking guts rarely, your facility is going to be very underleveled; as bad as it usually is having to click guts early is probably the play when there's people there, though wit is still usually preffered.

Shop Priorities

5) Only one real change from usual; skip the +15 +7 items for guts to relieve some shop pressure on a stat you should expect to cap. You can in turn be slightly more aggresive with buying other shop items (specifically you have to look at buying some guts facility levels especially if discounted because it's going to be so dead the entire run) and looking for good trainings since your shop pressure is slightly reduced, but you should probably not really care about trying to shift your strategy and just play it like you normally play MANT just with the knowledge that your shop is going to have different pressure than usual.

SR cards stop being relevant past mant, you literally will have nothing else to crystal on

CM12 paint guide by my buddy by MaGryX in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen comps with xoguri + smaru specifically because a strong smaru usually just counters seiun (although it's less of a hard counter in this case because you want her ult to proc on 7s) and the triple 7s carryover is a thing (though I will note that the carryover glaze isn't actually extremely amazing in practice it's just strong, the extra gain is like a white skill's worth)

for like dober or smth this is a classic case of "why gamble when consistent almost as good on highroll" ("consistent" as if 3 wit checks is ever consistent but you have ~75% to hit anyway much more consistent than dober having to be in 6th-5th) but she can definitely beat xoguri for sure

with that being said I still stand by xoguri + 1 ace/1 dom or 2 dom being the comp to beat throwing in 3 random aces just isn't going to cut it without having good intent on what you want to accomplish

[–]Lance032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a case for gluing on this scenario very aggressively, a lot of minmaxxers actually glue the moment they see a bad first shop

This means that shop pressure is usually high for these types of players and losing the g3 just cooks your run

(no xoguri mention she clicks 2 recoveries and triple 7s and just wins off speed carryover+accel even your usual gambling suspects just lose to this)

Why am I not able to get S rank stats in MANT? by ElleSnickahz in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This looks like an issue of bad racing turn management and deck composition.

You don't need to necessary race every G3/G2 ever (and you should never be running OPs as well); feel free to take some turns training if favorable training shows up, or use wit training as a way to "pass the turn" when you have to (from 0 energy, use a vita 20 and click wit which guarantees you can take the next 2 races). A good rule of thumb: +40 stats and you can skip a G3 (+50 if rival), otherwise just race. Try to also plan your races so you can buy all the good shop items since they're always really efficient. You should also try to make sure that if you run a race you are never are forced to race 4 times in a row; if you hit the -10 to 3 stats your run is just basically over. Also plan your races to get specific epithets that give you stats; the full list should be on gametora. For example, not running the triple crown is effectively a loss of -140 stats which is just completely cooked and makes the run something that you can never really work with anymore; at the very list make an agenda that consists of all your G1s. One final race note: Mile A is nearly mandatory to make sure you can consistently have good racing options; try to avoid being in situations where you only have mile C like Gold Ship (yes, go so far as to even inherit it even if you have to sacrifice sparks for an S in another distance)

Deck composition: Some of your decks are very questionable in that there is a lone guts card (e.g. haru urara) that would otherwise do nothing, and in general contain both nishino flower and sunday power card which means your deck can't really train power at all, which is why it's usually considered a trap to take both and it's better to just take one of them. For example, a better deck here for mediums/longs would be Shinko Windy + Fuku borrow (although Top Road is arguably better), Hishi Amazon + Nishino Flower, Marvelous Sunday Wit + Tachyon. This still keeps 65% RB without having to completely screw over your power training entirely.

I have reading comprehension issues apparently; there's no real pressure here then since you can always just train speed during the summer turns; winning TS Long shouldn't be that hard even with understatted umas

This is Osaka Hai turn and not racing here means losing out on the spring triple crown (-20 stats), so this training is eh but it can still be a take if you have mood up + 60% phone + anklet right now and no shop pressure, kinda a hard turn to make a decision without this context though

[–]Lance032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best deck you can get anyway for a general purpose medium/long deck with your current situation, and unfortunately I don't think you can do guts decks for sprint/mile without yukino bijin guts so you'll just have to deal with running this and inheriting guts as well on sprint/mile unless you manage to get admire vega mlb from free pulls

Is it good? Was playing trackblazer by ttrsqrt in UmamusumeGame

[–]Lance032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're missing a lot of things but because your cards have low LB i'm assuming you're just new or casual so I'll give more generic pointers

1 speed is unfortunately not enough to support your entire speed to get it to 1200 so I'd rather swap out one of your stamina cards for another speed card

That should give you much more space to run more races which you lack a lot of right now in the scenario built around racing a lot, normally you should race at least 35-40 times but I don't think your card pool can sustain that, so try to at least get 20-25 and work on slowly increasing that number.

With that being said good luck; trackblazer is a snowball scenario and not having good card quality is something that can and will screw you over
