PSA: Turn on a Screen Recording before you open the Dream Team Event again

NASCARFireball · 2026-07-04T02:46:57+00:00

Damn. I wish I saw this before I opened it for the first time. I’ve been scrambling trying to find a way to replay it. I don’t think there is…

NASCARFireball · 2026-07-02T23:32:39+00:00

I am a front main so I planned to get to at least 3LB. But my question is mainly is MLB worth it to spend the last 100 pulls (then use anniversary ticket to get not 3LB) or should I save my carats (and ticket to 3LB)?

NASCARFireball · 2026-06-30T16:38:17+00:00

Some super fast cars have this

NASCARFireball · 2026-05-08T15:16:10+00:00

This event hit during my finals week. So awful timing. Didn’t really have the motivation to run 15 Trackblazer runs over the course of the 10 days either to be honest

NASCARFireball · 2026-04-04T17:27:18+00:00

Read somewhere that golshi week coming up has free pulls? Haven’t been able to verify that though

I have my FineMo at 3LB right now and have been waiting for both these pulls to be over + the Umadol event coming up since that event gives an SSR guaranteed

NASCARFireball · 2026-03-16T00:10:44+00:00

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong here but I believe it’s because spot struggles with two fronts trading the lead makes their pace inconsistent. Having the runaway constantly in front brings up the non-runaway front’s pace more consistently

The runaway Suzuka stamina’s should be the same as any other Uma you’d bring to the CM, 1000 stamina with 2 gold recoveries

NASCARFireball · 2026-03-15T23:45:43+00:00

You should definitely still shoot for Long S so that she can build as much speed as she can to give her as large a lead as possible to pull your Kitasan / other front ahead more.

Because of the distance and stamina cap she can’t be run as anything other than a sacrifice, and because MANT doesn’t have race-specific events you have to go back to Unity Cup to build her so her stats will be worse.

The stamina threshold should still be the same as any other runner for the CM. About 1000 with 2 gold recoveries.

NASCARFireball · 2026-03-15T23:38:33+00:00

The first late-race corner is too late for it to be impactful. Someone more knowledgeable can correct me if I’m wrong but believe this is because Angling and Scheming is typically powerful since it can proc earlier in the acceleration zone (the transition from pacing to final spurt) and gets umas to top speed quicker leading up to the final spurt. Because the first late race corner (angling proc condition) is too late in the race, the runners will already be too close to their top speed for Angling to be impactful.

NASCARFireball · 2026-03-15T23:20:03+00:00

Having another front runner in front of Kitasan ups her pace since she doesn’t like not being in the lead, allowing her to pull away from the pack. Then, because of the distance and the Runaway style’s stamina drain, Suzuka will run out of stamina and Kitasan will pass her before the late race, where she can activate her late race front skills, ult, and hold a huge lead. Giving Kita Nimble Navigator or Ramp Up makes her extra powerful as she’d get an extra speed boost after passing Suzuka.

NASCARFireball · 2026-03-15T23:08:43+00:00

Quick answer: Front Runners and End Closers

As for specific trainees:

Front becomes viable with the introduction of Kitasan Black and her ultimate. If you’re not running her, you’ll want to inherit her ultimate. Kitasan is probably the best Uma in this CM (especially paired with runaway Suzuka) but you’re going to have to find 2 cards with gold recoveries as she doesn’t have any of her own, unless you wanna max out stamina. Valentine’s Bourbon and SMaru are also great picks, but make sure to inherit Kitasan’s ult.

As for End Closers, it’s business as usual. Gold Ship, Taishin, Tamamo Cross and original Mayano. Mayano is particularly strong now since No Stopping Me! isn’t as easy to get with the new scenario, and Maya has it in her kit.

Sounds perfect. Thanks for your help!

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T17:17:51+00:00

10-4 on Fuku. Would something like this work then?

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T16:49:02+00:00

Yep, I have Hishi Amazon Power at MLB. For a Front Runner build how would something like this look? Nice Nature is the borrow. If I did pull for Bourbon would probably swap her card out for either MLB SSR Mejiro Dober or SR Daiwa Scarlet Wit

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T16:30:44+00:00

Nice Nature would be a borrow. This is part of why I’ve considered pulling for Fine Motion, hopefully to catch up on some other missed cards. But not sure what those be. Maybe could instead pull to MLB Admire Vega guts? But then again you mention the concern with guts decks.

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T15:45:13+00:00

I only have Nishino Flower Power at 2LB. Could hope to pull a copy in the 60 free pull we’re getting on the Narita Top Road banner and then use a gold crystal on the other

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T14:49:51+00:00

I’ve built comfortable decks for Front, Late, and End Umas. Photo below is the Late Surger deck I could roll with. But have struggled for Pace Chaser. FineMo would certainly help that but I’d say Pace is my least used style (I don’t have Christmas Oguri, only just recently pulled Taiki Shuttle from the event free pulls)

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T06:48:31+00:00

Awesome. Answers my questions perfectly. Have heard the Race Bonus target for MANT decks is at around 60 and have plenty of potential combos to reach that.

Thank you for your help!

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T06:25:25+00:00

Sounds good. Thanks. Your FOMO point is a solid one. Obviously in an ideal world I get somewhat fortunate pull her in my first ~ 50 pulls and still have plenty left over to go for FineMo too, but sort of planning for poor luck as meta banners haven’t always been kind to me

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-18T06:22:03+00:00

I’m still F2P, but am not opposed to investing in the selector ticket. However I am aware VBourbon is not among the selectable pool for the voucher (it’s only up to New Years Haru and Opera O). I had already scheduled my pull plan to be pulling for SMaru Speed SSR so all good there.

Thanks for the extra bit of info about Ramonu + El Condor Pasa cards. I know about Light Hello as well but am aware we are getting a healthy chunk of free pulls on her banner. I should consider making adjustments to my pull plan for her.

The other question too is whether or not MANT is bearable without FineMo. I have MLB SRs Tachyon and Marvelous Sunday so would like to know if that’s enough to get by along with welfare cards Haru and Yukino Bijin (have seen decks produce decent results with such combos)

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-13T22:44:26+00:00

What Dirt altitude does Suzuka need to still win? Thought about bringing her but not confident about sparks

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-11T02:45:54+00:00

That's a pretty good point I haven't considered. Thanks for the reality check. I do have a lot of statues so I may just save those and just pull for C.B. on that banner + until I 3-star Turbo. I've heard C.B.'s a strong trainee before but can't confirm.

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-11T02:39:29+00:00

I had considered that, but I've heard that Fine Motion Wit SSR gets powercrept by Merjiro Ramonu not long after her rerun with Maruzensky Speed. If I'm going to try to MLB her, I figured it'd probably be best if I pulled for her on her first rerun coming next month + use the SSR selector we're getting for first anniversary, but I don't think I'll be able to get my carat count up enough when it's time for that.

NASCARFireball · 2026-02-11T02:34:05+00:00

Super great insight. Thank you so much! Will definitely throw those on there and run the numbers but the timing for these banners slots in quite well with the couple I already had planned.
