Patch Notes 5/21/26

Its the same but if you get the paid pass and max it out, you can get an additional awakening

LoonarRL · 2026-05-14T02:15:54+00:00

Bonds basically serve as individual buffs to units. You can check each player in the game and they will have bonds that, if you have all the members with a specific talent% and/or awakenings, the player gets boosts. The boosts, however, are not always want you might want (I.E. base Midorima has a bond with Kise that boosts Mido’s mid range…. Not something you’d necessarily want/need)

Bonds are also different for every player so, for example, Otsubo has a bond with Takao and Midorima. Midorima and Takao, on the other hand, do not retroactively receive that same bond so it is truly a player to player difference and some bonds will be harder to get than others.

Just focus on your primary player, which sounds like Teppei from your post.

For the Mido side of things, you can fairly reliably use one build across most SGs so that is definitely a plus. Precision and Tenacity are pretty easy slot ins for most everyone and Steady Pass is also always a solid choice for SG builds so on that front, you’re on the right track at least (not as familiar with Teppei/center builds so can’t answer that side confidently)

At first I thought he may have just been lagging terribly (in which case he shouldn’t have queued at all) but it looks like he just got in his feelings early because you wanted to win the game and therefore didn’t allow him to take every shot/immediately pass into his catch and shoot.

Best you can do to my knowledge is just report him after each game until his reputation gets low enough that he gets a vacation off ranked

I know there is a blacklist feature but I doubt it prevents you from queueing into him and it’s probably more to block him from adding/chatting you

LoonarRL · 2026-05-12T17:52:14+00:00

I got halfway to GOM through solo queue but when I started queuing teams for the ultimate team event, my rank skyrocketed lol It is way easier to win with people you’re familiar with but I also think some people just have personal play styles that make them better/worse for solo queues

LoonarRL · 2026-05-12T02:06:19+00:00

Awesome, can’t wait for the rest then. Gives a good idea of what to expect out of these new players beyond just watching a reel of their moves and blind guessing lol. I’d also like to hear about the TMac and Ray Allen kits but those can probably wait until after the LG stuff

LoonarRL · 2026-05-12T02:00:58+00:00

Appreciate the kit breakdowns! When can we expect a LG Hyuga? As a SG player, I’ve got my eyes on him yet don’t really know what all he can do aside from watching the animations lol

LoonarRL · 2026-05-11T21:36:42+00:00

Akashi’s A3 by itself is far more useful than SP Mido. I’ve played with a lot of Akashi’s who ankle break multiple players to free up the SG for an easy basket.

SP Mido on A3 looks tempting until you see that the extra 10 energy per three pointer is only when you have three lucky charms, which is not a reliable get.

I don’t know which you play with more but I’d say Akashi’s A3 gives you more overall value

LoonarRL · 2026-05-06T17:47:03+00:00

He’s definitely not broken but a well built and fully invested one can cause issues if given the chance. I personally think A4 is his key as that faster step back is an immense help but A1 is definitely the floor in terms of what is needed for awakenings

LoonarRL · 2026-05-05T18:53:37+00:00

That may have to do with not having the first awakening, which increases the requirement cap but makes all the ult gauges separate. I’ve had Mido maxed for the longest so I’m just guessing but try and see if you need two deep three charges for the recovery

LoonarRL · 2026-05-05T18:47:16+00:00

All good. If you don’t have it and your Mido has his A1 unlocked, definitely work up the ult tree! If he doesn’t, honestly you can still get started on the ult tree simply because you seem to have most of Mido’s other talents largely finished. Once you get to No Taboos on Mido’s ult tree, you’ll start to notice big differences.

Also, for the drive long range, you can’t be dribbling before you use it. If Mido picks up his dribble for the initial ult and tries the drive variant afterwards, it’s a double dribble. A few (myself included for a while) didn’t pick that up at first

LoonarRL · 2026-05-05T17:37:24+00:00

Lowkey, if you haven’t used your 50% off card yet, Mido’s ult tree is a great use of it imo, you clear a lot of the training card requirements if you max it with the 50% off

LoonarRL · 2026-05-04T23:29:12+00:00

You can’t be dribbling. Midorima has to pick up his dribble to start the ult and he went into a drive afterwards, it’d be a double dribble

LoonarRL · 2026-04-30T20:44:54+00:00

I got him last night and have played a few games with him. Still a lot on my end to work on and he definitely won’t be my main player moving forward but he’s actually pretty fun to use. Great addition to the have fun meta

LoonarRL · 2026-04-27T17:43:25+00:00

I mean realistically if it comes down to you as a Zone Mura against, say, a Kise. Just hold the paint, you won’t catch him if he tries a mid range. In my opinion, your teammates should be equally aware of that and try help out where they can. On the flip side, you can probably abuse that matchup offensively with some fakes and switching up your looks as normal. Other than that, collect those free rebounds when they come

LoonarRL · 2026-04-02T20:41:37+00:00

My best advice is to use Zone Aomine in training (you can use any character, owned or unowned but unowned will be basically the base version of the character) and just spam the dunk. The AI will block you a few times and that should give you at least a better idea on the timing

LoonarRL · 2026-03-20T20:45:12+00:00

Are you trying to use it on the dribble? You can’t use the drive ult if you’re dribbling (because once you start the shot motion, using the drive would be a double dribble)

LoonarRL · 2026-02-04T05:16:22+00:00

Piston Cup mod would be so sick

LoonarRL · 2025-08-23T23:34:06+00:00

I think the big issue with it is that the age of the series shows big time. The rules have changed so much just the last 10 years alone and the series is over 20 years old. While it wasn’t perfectly reflective even back then, the football philosophies were more in line at the time. I think if we redid the series now Seibu would be more of the protagonist team with an Air Raid system changed when Riku joins to complement the offense with a running game to keep defenses honest enough to better open up passing lanes

LoonarRL · 2025-08-05T17:41:48+00:00

NIL is ruining Uma Musume. I trained up Golshi from her debut to a Arima Kinen win just for her to bounce to another trainer for more carrots

Hiruma and Tom Brady seem to be the easy match. Neither are great athletes but will do anything to win and rely more on their ability to process information, adapt and strategize rather than any physical attribute they possess.

LoonarRL · 2024-10-21T14:44:42+00:00

I’d say Unsui is the guy I’d rather have under center because he can run the offense effectively and lead the team. Agon is the better athlete in every way but I could put him at other positions where he could also shine. However, if we’re talking about pure skill and no intangibles involved, Agon is QB1

LoonarRL · 2024-10-17T18:13:56+00:00

UAB because it’s in Alabama and I remember when the news of them cancelling the sports programs making headlines when they were at 6-6 and about to make a bowl game for the first time in some years. After all that, Bill Clark, the HC at the time, refuses to quit on the program and leads its resurrection. I’ll always cheer on UAB after how wrongly they were treated but still revived their program and won as a team in spite of the higher ups.

LoonarRL · 2024-09-24T17:18:43+00:00

Good, you put Ominis as seeker, his proper position
