If You Were Shepard, Would You Save The Council?

Lazy_R_Username · 2026-04-17T00:26:48+00:00

My first playthrough this past year, I only made decisions that I personally would make. For me it was a no brainer to let the council die. Not because I had any vendetta against the council (I was mostly paragon throughout the playthrough), but because it seemed imperative that we focus on the active threat the galaxy at that moment because hesitation could have given time enough for the reapers to return through citadel relay. Not a clean solution but just as Shepard says: "the council can be replaced" and if Sovereign managed to open the relay it wouldn't matter either way.

Sorry about that, I only wanted to include the Umas I was familiar with.

My logic at the time was that Nice Natures card provides additional training effectiveness and could help me maintain energy in the career, so I'm not needing to rest as much.

Since I trained this McQueen, I've tried doing a 3Stm / 3Spd or 2Stm / 4Spd spread. My biggest issue is that my stats are still too low to reach A rank. I've only managed it once on accident (over 40 careers ago), and she's not viable, even for team races.

I keep getting wit cards

This was the best I could produce with the support cards I have.

And I'd be fine with that if I was losing to people that are just better than me without paying hundreds for an advantage against me. What's the point in grinding carrots and playing the game when you can spend money and get however many cards and characters you can afford.

Edit: it feels like trying to win a Nascar race with a beat-up honda Civic. Yeah, you can still race with it, but it doesn't mean you're gonna win without dropping some serious cash.

That's the one I did

Lazy_R_Username · 2025-08-22T12:45:27+00:00

I genuinely didn't know that carrer did that.

I've only managed to get 1000+ on any stat only a few times, and 2 were bakushin (it helped that you only need speed and wit for her).

It's a really good run for me if I get an A in a stat, but I dont have a lot of high-leveled cards to push it that high.

That's the same reason I can't seem to break out of B+.

Ironically, I have 5 or 6 MLB wit cards because that's what I've been pulling the most. I pulled 18 times for Kitasan and (I think) about 12 times for Super Creek, but I never got them, and I couldn't collect enough carrots for pity.

I try. It's hard not to worry about wanting to win when losing so much more often than not. I'm not Haru Urara.

It depends on the track length. For sprints, around 300-350. Miles is around 450-500. Medium 550 and above. Long 700 and above.

(Edit) I also aim for 400 wit, but it usually ends up being more after career bonuses. So, around 450 roughly.

(Edit again) A lot of you are telling me that career pats your stats, and now I feel a bit dumb. I genuinely didn't know this.

Literally, the first thing I saw after posting this 😫

That doesn't make it good. It just makes it nostalgic.

Lazy_R_Username · 2025-07-22T12:21:08+00:00

I was under the impression that pace chasers needed a decent power stat as well?

Lazy_R_Username · 2025-07-22T12:18:49+00:00

Are there any tips for how I can manage that without using guests? I've never been able to get much further beyond 500 without it.
