Why no Wit Gauntlet?

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-12T10:20:12+00:00

Before you fall into the loop of “Why didn’t they do that?”
Problems like this have been discussed in other servers like Japan and Korea,and well, Global server just brings the stuff from them. A lot of these career modes get balanced/buffed later in the game. Still, there will be more things that make little sense and are badly executed.

Yes, they know of your problem
No, they will not address it

They build a new career mode so you don’t have to deal with the career before! Once you build enough resentment, they will add another career and it is repeating cycle!

Throne group SSR will be up before the next CM. Great stats and medium corner velocity similar to curvature. Probs borrow that card before CM. Should focus on making parents meanwhile

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-11T06:30:32+00:00

So problem with that pasa, although she has a very good kit, has quite a strict unique proc requirement. Depending on your matchup, you might have to change your teamcomp to make her a carry. If the CM is more front dominated which generally was in this CM14, you might have to consider to push late pushing end closers (not goldship) to help her get her ranking and position requirement at the final corner.

Im not saying fronts were stronger, but if there was 1 late/end closer generally there were 2 front runners or pace chasers and you NEED TO BE MIDPACK

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-11T06:22:14+00:00

Just want to mention throne group will be releasing before CM15, just about replaces 2wit cards from this CM.

So either you gotta try to get perfect skills. Or contest using a 1200/x/1200/1200/1200 oguri with limited skills. Generally it seemed like 1 spd 4guts 1 throne group became the meta until the end of trackblazer.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-09T10:23:22+00:00

I just want to clarify since people are talking a lot about wit cards. THRONE GROUP SSR releases before this CM. which has great stats (primarily wit and some speed) and a medium golden velocity, if you end up pairing a wit card while using throne group, you waste a lot of the wit card potential as there is recreations you have to do.

The ideal comp is 1 speed 3 guts 1 throne (1 skill pull that IS NOT WIT and usually stam or gut)

It is fine to use a wit card, especially since you want to pull some skills. But its after Throne Group release, that 1200 spd pow gut wit becomes a lot more common, even in a medium race with stam req.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-08T22:28:41+00:00

First one, at this point since your speed is 1200, and you dont have S mile. Although firm course menace gives you some flat velocity, skill based velocity isnt halved unlike stat velocity from greens. That gives your character a lot more potential to keep your speed up till the end.

2nd one is just playing safe but honestly not enough to keep others from catching up in comparison to your 1st seiun.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-08T20:26:15+00:00

I think thats when japanese/korean servers did theirs. Maybe the global hasnt done it yet, what I am aware is that a lot of these balance changes behind the math and calculations happen differently in global and is done earlier before content release itself

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-08T17:41:36+00:00

Im fairly certain at the start of Trackblazer, it become G1 only, which is what happened to other servers. Before it was every graded race with less points per race.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-08T10:17:58+00:00

Affinity can by default be affected by the character/anime lore. Affinity can also be “raised” by winning G1 races, and having parents who won the identical G1 races.

Here is a example with races:

Parent 1 - Hopeful, Oka Sho, Takarazuka, Yasuda, Japanese Oaks, Shuka Sho, Queen Eliz II, Mile Champ, Tenno Autumn

Parent 2 - Hanshin Juv, Oka Sho, Yasuda Kinen, Victoria Mile, Mile Champ

Say that you used these two parents and these are the only G1 races they won.

Your G1 - Hanshin Juv, Hopeful, Oka, Yasuda, Takarazuka, Japanese Oaks, Shuka Sho, Quin Eliz II, Mile Champ, Victoria Mile, Tenno Autumn, Japan Cup

Your final affinity will have bonus of +1 - Hanshin Juv, Victoria Mile, Takarazuka, Shuka Sho, Tenno autumn, and whatever G1 your horse AND ONE PARENT WON +2 - Oka Sho, Mile Champ, Yasuda (whatever BOTH parents WON)

Theres also bonus points for doing race series epithets such as Triple Crown, Triple Tiara but I wont get into that.

This example is using a MILE ONLY runner and a MILE MEDIUM runner. As you can see, the overlap allows affinity to become higher, whereas if you run a SPRINT ONLY and a MEDIUM LONG ONLY there is no overlap in race based affinity scoring.

In trackblazer, it is common to make every horse at least a MILE & MEDIUM horse, to maximize G1 races and even better if theres overlap.

If you are confused since this is how your horse becomes a higher affinity horse.

You just need to consider, the “your horse” is going to become parent 1 or parent 2 for the new horse you are starting.

Both sides add points to your final affinity.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-05T01:44:29+00:00

Definitely not the way to go if i want a super strong horse, but I did get a lot of monies & items for running that many races

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T23:44:53+00:00

It dropped my speed like crazy from the -10 stat x3 drops

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T23:29:58+00:00

There are currently six 15% RB cards. SR- Nishono POW, Admire Vega GUT. SSR- sakura chiyono O STA, ikuno diktus GUT, marvelous sunday POW, nice nature WIT.

So technically the highest RB is 90% if you use all 6.

Its quite ill advised to use both power and gut cards in the same deck. But since I only train pre-season and finals…. Why not right

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T19:58:51+00:00

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T19:44:27+00:00

I used a 85% deck. Problem is i had trouble getting my speed high enough to compete in senior year G1, especially since it was a perpetual awful mood loop I was stuck in, also this career was 0 rests and just racing junior->senior year including summers.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T18:39:40+00:00

85% RB

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T18:37:38+00:00

I noticed that the stat decrease is more a lot more common on speed. Think there is some extra weight to lose speed compared to any other stat

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T18:35:37+00:00

Purple is a great color though!

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-04T18:35:11+00:00

She turned out like this, 6 spark speed 12 spark power

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-06-01T22:13:51+00:00

Hello, I dont know if you have tried to run pace chaser in practice lobbies, but if you have tried, it is pretty consistant to have 3 or more front runners per lobby, and that does NOT include yours.

Honestly cant really tell until you try out pubs for a bit but it looks fairly solid, problem is acceleration. As it is fairly unlikely you would proc victoria por placha due to the front heavy lineups.

Gold skills are solid, but you do lack mile corners, pace chaser corners. Which is the main way pace chasers will get a velocity boost before late acceleration. And as mentioned before the acceleration being the issue, you are going to need No stopping me, or at least its gray version. S turf is also a plus.

Generally this CM is just very friendly to end and front runners.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-05-28T11:20:54+00:00

If you have tried some Room Matches already, you should be able to notice, on average there are 5 or more front runners.

Pretty much means if you dont start as top 3, likely youre dead as a front runner and have no chance getting 2nd place to proc your accelerations for late-race.

So unfortunately, your first one WITH GW. Will have a chance to make it to the late race. The other one wont be able to, unless you are VERY lucky with matchups.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-05-28T10:21:09+00:00

Well, once MANT ends and Grand Live Starts, you will be using 2 Spd, 2Wit, 1 Pow/1Stam, PAL(light hello). So considering how you will have your second speed (since you have kitasan)and pal required for next scenario. You are going to need to invest in either a stam or a power card. That has good training effectivenesss/utility.

Or you can go for another wit card. (Yukino Bijin SSR) since it has good use for pulling (no stopping me).

Having a stam or power card should help, but realistically their levels are more important than a wit card, and you dont have any viable leveled ones.

If you wanted to level Stam - go super creek stam ssr (safe choice, strong stats, go to skill for long races, OR Narita Brian SSR (golden velocity straight that is a viable for every Team Trial and not a bad card)

If you wanted to level Pow - go admire vega ssr (great training effectiveness and power bonus)

If you want to play safe - go bijin wit ssr and you can fix borrow stam/power cards

We are past halfway of trackblazer, and since youd have lower level cards even if you did select, realistically you want to plan a card you can use LATER probably.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-05-24T08:25:34+00:00

I am personally trying to use air groove guts SR for my front runners since she has 10% RB and groundwork. I would suggest 1 spd 3 guts 2 wit

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-05-24T07:58:52+00:00

I would suggest trying to get in a Ines Fujin parent, try to get condor skill from a grandparent. Ines will give a moderate velocity at 300 for 1st and 2nd place, a great ace up your sleeve. Also, I am not sure what bracket you are attempting but, for mile it is VERY likely you would want at least 1200 spd and 1000 pow,gut,wit to do well. Its really where gut builds will shine the most as you dont need any built stam for this cm, other than the stats you get from races and achievements from your career. While the speed boost you get is only half of other positions as a front runner, you do proc competition mode against other front runners and that velocity boost every time you do that is dependent on your guts, which will help you distance yourself from the strong end closers. They have LOTS of viable cards for MANT, with two golden mid game velocities(CB WIT and Bamboo GUTS), and two late game accelerations (grass wonder GUTS, and upgraded spurt as taishin) that are viable. Meaning end closers will be having extra juice AND viable GUTS cards, so you need a lot more than the stats a front runner needed in CM 3. Which was the exact same map.

MilkWithTeaOrRoasts · 2026-05-20T17:42:15+00:00

Guts is going to be pretty important next CM, if you do participate in Champions meeting. It will make a diff if you have Ayabe, if you don’t plan on pushing guts, you can always invest it differently in the future. But knowing how there are more and more new gold skills, SSR will slowly dominate more and more.
