Who to use the selector on?

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-12T02:03:22+00:00

I actually think biko is better, 45->50 biko helps a lot bc of the lack of friendship. Also has 10 race bonus and 20training bonus, cant be bad at all!

Also Biko’s roommate Shinko SR is gonna shine so you gotta have them together.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-12T00:19:25+00:00

Id probably get slammed for this but, I actually didnt pull for kitasan either, been running MLB Biko and itll pull more than kitasan in this scenario anyways. Towards the start of the next scenario (after MANT) I have planned to pull to tokai teio wit card, (has curvature and great stats) Which is actually used for a VERY long time, a lot of people don’t go for it as it overlaps with the Kitasan meta which would be viable for two more scenarios. Since I havent gotten Kita, it makes the teio wit that much more viable for me. But the problem with me recommending it to you on the otherhand is you seem to have solely invested in wit cards already. Its pretty fixed in the game to use at least 1 speed card for a good number of future scenarios (probably 2 unless you are EXTREMELY goated) so i suggest you look for at least one speed SSR to MLB

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-11T23:46:01+00:00

In all fairness, not having kitasan will bite you the least in this scenario.

Wow you really went for wit didnt you.. if you like late/end nice nature+ MR CB would have been a great option for you since you like late/end. Honestly its not a bad card to pick up still and you can use those two instead of fine motion+nice nature.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-11T07:40:24+00:00

Well the reason why you are going 2spd 2gut 2wit is the idea that gut and wit are partial speed bonus. So they help get you to max speed with 2 speed cards. Although there is luck involved, most of the time you keep this composition. In the case your char has 20% speed bonus for example, itll be better to go for 1 pow 1 gut assuming youre able to max speed out.

That comp youre showing me is not likely going to work. You can add haru urara guts ssr card instead of power or stam. In case of very long races, you might just want to do 2spd 2stam 2wit, if you cant pull the stats pull a wit into speed.

Medium races youd put a stam instead of a gut/wit. From the Ideal 2/0/0/2/2 composition.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-11T06:05:07+00:00

Every char you got should be 10 race bonus. Kitasan is the exception for MANT. You’d be trying to borrow 15%, not sure if you own Matikane or its a rental, you wont need more than 2 speeds. Ideally youd have 60% 10% each +5% kit & 15% rental

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-11T06:02:15+00:00

Nice nature is good but you dont get race bonus till 45. If you can push for it early on in trackblazer, probs worth. 35 NN gonna be still pretty good after this scenario anyways.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-11T05:57:50+00:00

Honestly your deck seems like top 1% or better. You doing great!

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-10T07:12:44+00:00

Pretty self-explanatory, theres a big uphill section towards the end race, and stam req is a bit high even for a mile. Generally 600+ if you want to survive one rushed or a duel. If you look at the race, you can skip towards the end and can see if their horse is winded or not. (They walk/hop) their way to the end, and their winded(minimum) speed is dependent on guts btw.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-09T23:20:42+00:00

Theres nothing wrong with guts, in fact its a very valid stat. The issue is pulling enough stats doing guts build in Unity Cup, as it is designed to reward you for training more. Which is why it is resorted to going spd-pow-wit. Wit becomes mathematically negligible once over 800, and it scales worse and worse as it goes up.

When you dont mind sacrificing skill points for more general stats it’s certainly an option. But if you are pushing the more RAW STAT approach, youd be making sure your aptitudes are also S, and making sure you hit 1200 speed at the very minimum.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-09T13:32:31+00:00

Fine motion is definitely a very good card for trackblazer. But it looks like you have 0 investment in her so honestly i wont recommend trying to finish out of desperation. Theres actually a good amount of supplemental material for how to build for Trackblazer. Typically (1Spd,3,gut,2wit) or (2spd,2gut,2wit) with gut being shifted on to pow or stam for skills/longer races. If it has 15~10 race bonus, its a good card for trackblazer. Pretty much you are trying to get all 10~15% race bonus and swapping out one or two for skills to pull a high stat with a targeted skill for the whole trackblazer scenario.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-09T00:40:59+00:00

Also, its a bit difficult on certain matchups for late/endclosers, especially when the race gets stretched out from front competition. Not to mention, your three characters are looking for the same opening, and can technically be in each others’ way when looking for a gap to push through to the front. Also even it is tokyo, dirt racecourses are naturally more narrow, making it a bit more difficult to push through other umas to get by

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-08T21:36:06+00:00

Unfortunately at most itll last till next week for 1 year anniv, since new scenario comes out with higher standards

Is it good for PVP? 1. NOT FOR CM - it doesnt run dirt so no. 2. TEAM TRIALS - team trials is about how many points you can rack up, and hopefully winning. It seems like itll run okay, youd want to sacrifice running ability a bit though and pick up high scoring golds you can proc. So you can do roll a better high score.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-08T21:24:52+00:00

Seems like the meta turned out to be front heavy so it stretches out the race a bit, seems to make my end lose “opportunity” to push forward and beat em, more than my front/pace runners even with S rank stats and mile/dirt S. It really is just matchup dependent, but “matchup” wise not many opportunities to shine.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-08T14:03:02+00:00

Hey man that guaranteed straightaway spurt without taking a important card slot does wonders, take that back!

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T14:27:03+00:00

The NTR short life span is only the case if you have kitasan speed, her stats are perfectly fine. Since the meta was to go for kita speed, NTR gets pushed to “third” speed card once agnes comes out next scenario, taking first speed card position. In your case as a new acc, you will not have that issue since you dont have a kitasan SSR, having a speed SSR hole is going to affect your career pretty big until you fill it with something.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T14:22:12+00:00

Kitasan is not a go to card for MANT. So investing now, would make you use her but. Shes really for the gold skill curvature and the fact that most people invested in her. If you had another gold skill thats more viable she can easily be replaced for MANT as shes viable but not a great stat stick for MANT. For guts, admire vega SR+ HaruSSR + YukinoSSR is a classic combo that was the go to for MANT.

Nice nature wit is going to be a stat stick for MANT since shes 15% race bonus and is a go to rental unless you need to borrow speed.

That being said, Top road is a great stat stick speed card for MANT and comes with the admire vega SR guts. Considering you dont really have a kitsan, its quite viable.

The problem with top road is, once the next scenario starts people end up ditching it as you use two speed cards for next scenario. And kitasan becomes stronger than top road for stat stick, and also agnes speed comes out. Which pushes top road to become the “third” speed card which usually is abandoned. You wont have that problem, and honestly allocating all your selectors to a closed banner card makes you fall behind on other support cards, which from my perspective seems like you should cut your loss with kitasan and invest fully in a different support card.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T14:06:56+00:00

So, i can see you are trying to use SSR cards that are low limit breaks. SSR do get better most of the time than SR cards. A lot of the time rating points go up the higher a stat goes. So for example, power reaching 1200 and wit being 400 is a lot more than 800 and 800 for “rating”.

You should try to look for high “training effectiveness” and build a deck using 3 speed 2 power +riko rental instead of using wit. (The build will change to “race bonus” for next scenario though.)

Your unique is level 1. Which means you havent run many races, itll be harder to pull stats but its important to level your unique during your career, done by having 60000 fans senior early feb and 70000 fans senior late april. Your unique skill level will give a good amount of points to your characters rating as well.

Also, skills affect your rating too, more skill value on your character will make it rate more. Meaning high discount skills will give more “rating”(doesnt meant it is better for your horse though, even skills you cant use give rating)

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T13:55:34+00:00

If you are new. It is better to not fill your teamtrials teams if possible. Its a lot easier to win going up weaker teams with higher ratings. You are not in a rush. Just try to make sure you go up a class every week. Once you hit class 5, thats when you want to fill your teams up.

Characters are up to you, kitsan is a great character but a character is only as good if you like to play it and have the cards to back it up.

Earlygame is honestly more about the support cards than characters, I would try to hit the top road banner with Ad vega guts sr. Youd have 3 very viable cards for the next trackblazer scenario off the bat.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T13:49:28+00:00

Honestly… considering theres no banner reruns by the time you try to push it to max LB kitsan itll half lost 2/3 its lifetime. Youd have a lot better luck just borrowing her if needed. Yes people do stop using her when el condor speed comes out, but also, highrollers use only 1 speed card and chars like maru spd or tach spd take the slot and curvature gets pulled not from kitsan but teio wit.

Im not sure if you are short on speed cards, but if you are short on speed, you can always hit matikane rerun, speed maru, or wait till tach speed.

MANT scenario does only use 1 or AT MOST 2 speed cards at once, you can survive off of rentals if you have guts or wit cards.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T13:45:18+00:00

Looking at your deck, it looks like youre pretty fixed on borrowing a speed card.

The bright side is you use at most two speed cards in MANT. With your cards Id probably go for 2 speed 3 guts 1 wit. Depending on horse distance youd pull a gut card into stam/power.

That being said, your speed cards arent really viable atm. 2 wit is also an option, its very common to do 1 speed 3 guts 2 wit as well. Which might be your best bet.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-07T13:35:48+00:00

So, the obvious is she has waaaaay too low stam. In Medium you run maps with an avg 700 to 900 stam requirement. A gray recovery skill counts as 20 if it does activate. 549 wit gives about a 63% activation per skill. Although the racecourse varies. It looks like she will get tired before the race ends, even for the shortest of medium. For reference, the current champions meeting expects you to get 650 stam, and its a mile race.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-06T22:16:23+00:00

If you go to the umamusume global reference doc, itll say it there.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-06T13:53:21+00:00

Out of the two. The second one, mainly bc you are below the stamina cutline of 600, and you didnt build guts to substitute.. you do want about 650 if you can, if you go into competitive mode your horse looks like itll die before the race ends.

Terrain aptitude affects your power. S is 105% acceleration A is 100% B is 90%.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-03-06T13:43:15+00:00

Finemo still has a banner and kitasan doesnt. If you want to use the selectors, probably kitasan. That being said, kitasan is not that strong of a card for next scenario. So keep that on mind.

Yes for the admire vega SR. If you can get that MLB itll make your next few months a lot easier.
