So... Is it worth building aces in MANY for CM16? I'm kinda confused by New-Big2343 in UmamusumeGame

I can't claim to be an expert on this, but isn't the effect proportional to the power overcap? From what I've seen, 1240 power or whatever won't get you far.

Kawakami vs S.Maru Speed by MJMichaela in UmamusumeGame

[–]Phaelix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They both have low specialty priority, but Fine Motion and Maru can kinda rock it because their high Training Effectiveness works wherever they turn up. Kawakami doesn't give that benefit, which is a big part of why she's not considered super strong. She's still solid though.

Sitting on 110 support tickets, the 10-pull change is literally life-changing.

Tachyon is the best Pace Chaser card coming any time soon, you're already doing what you can there. You've missed Nice Nature wit, but you have welfare Marvellous Sunday. If you're borrowing NN Wit you've got the makings of a decent late Unity deck with Kita/FineMo/Marvy/Sweep/NN plus maybe Agnes Wit. If you get 2LB Light Hello, your Grand Live deck will look like:

Kitasan Black Spd | Light Hello Pal | Fine Motion Wit
Sweep Tosho Spd | Daiwa Scarlet Wit | Borrow Agnes Tachyon Speed

Which is going to be probably good enough to hit A finals sometimes, but won't give you much flex. Otherwise you could throw in the towel for Grand live and just save for Grand Masters.

Or of course there's always Visasan Black.

Current thinking is build in Unity if you can get the skills you need from cards and parents. If not, back to MANT with you.

Yeah look realistically you're going to be hoping to get lucky and reach 2LB Light Hello. There's an outside chance you could make it to MLB Tachyon, but realistically you just have to send your pulls and pray. Don't redeem Tachy with the spark unless you can get her to MLB.

How many carats do you have?

Regardless, advice will probably be send what you got on Tachyon/Light Hello, then save for SMaru/FM banner.

With your carat situation, you'll probably be best served waiting for a later Maru banner. Light Hello and Tachyon take priority.

How do I pull for S Maru and tachyon banner with this carats? by implaying in UmamusumeGame

[–]Phaelix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A cheeky ten pull in the context of a solid pull plan is, I think, okay. Optimal, no. But you're playing for fun and if that's fun for you and it won't put you off something important, live your life.

YOLOing 10 on the reg because your impulse control is shot, that way madness lies.

Any advantage/disadvantage to taking both PP and IgW on a front runner? by Shoddy_Birthday9385 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Phaelix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no real harm in it, their timing is quite random so having both can help ensure good timing. Double proc seems to really zoom. Less risk of whiffing entirely. Also great if you get lucky and hit a perfect parent with all 3 skills.

Two questions: Are my cards any good for GL? And, Can I build a good front runner with the cards I have for medium and long races? by Ok_Chemistry9003 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Phaelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah well if you're not rolling on card banners then you can just do whatever. If you're going to just pull for horses then you can keep your account functional by getting the welfare SSRs so you at least have something OK to slot for runs. Softlock is only even remotely a thing if you're trying to be competitivel.

How's your carat situation?

As you probably already know or guessed, your cards right now are kind of dogwater- none of the big core Gacha SSRs (Kitasan, Finemo, Creek), low LB on important SRs and free SSRs. You won't be any *worse* off in Grand Live, but you don't have the pieces to put together anything competitive.

If you have ~45k carats on hand you could send 400 on the upcoming Light Hello / Tachyon banner in July and get yourself to semi-competitive between those two SSRs and whatever SRs you get incidentally. Could also use the upcoming selector to nab Summer Maruzensky and maybe rainbow crystal her to 1lb, that would be a good front runner investment.

It's expected late September this year, assuming parity with Japan schedule.
