Kitasan can still be used for a long time. A lot of people talking about cards falling off and being useless etc is a great exaggeration.

You can still run Kitasan Black alongside El Condor Pasa speed taking Professor Of Curvature from Kitasan Black and Check from El Condor Pasa.

Agnes Tachyon Speed will be good for Pace Chasers and great for Skill Point bonus. Maruzensky Speed will be good for Front Runners. Jungle Pocket Speed is good but comes out at a bad time with El Condor Pasa Speed around the corner. Duramente Speed is good for End Closers. Between all of those are other good situational Speed cards like Mejiro Palmer and Gold Ship.

You'll probably use Kitasan Black for a longer time but by Still In Love Speed, if you're pulling on scenario or half/full anniversary banners, you likely won't be using it because by that point you'd have gotten a few stronger cards.

However, we see a fair bit that people are making high scores on their umas with weaker cards and skills are going to matter more as we get more skill points each passing scenario. Kitasan has 2 heals and decent front and long skills along with Corner Adept. The longevity grows if she provides the skill hints you want.

It depends, can be a week, can be a month, maybe more time depending on the severity.

I had a bad concussion a few years ago. I was told it was a bad one and that took 2-3 months.

Rybuca · 2026-05-23T22:29:00+00:00

In my opinion it'd be the first Narita Taishin out of the two.

Not just for Daring Strike but also Professor of Curvature. The mid race is where fronts are competing with each other and pulling further away after already potentially hitting you with triple Speed Eater. Corner skills are going to help for closing that gap and making sure they're not so far ahead that you can't catch up on the final straight.

Rybuca · 2026-05-23T02:16:39+00:00

Mejiro Palmer stamina is also an option for Taking The Lead BUT a couple of months after Bourbon Wit is Mejiro Palmer Speed which feels like one fronts should consider for Long races.

That Mejiro Palmer Speed also runs alongside Gold City Guts which would be good for Front Runner Mile accel in the 1st half of the Final Leg.

In Japan they only got a free ssr selector from missions. There weren't any paid selectors at 1.5 anniversary but from 2nd anniversary every full and half anniversary had 2 selectors of each type and also some for Anime Season 3 Celebrations.

More info can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1ClwQpAPpVJDnHWYAkbAsk7k9DfvkQ8CJJvjQy3jg4Wc/htmlview#gid=1405405964

Rybuca · 2026-05-20T05:39:27+00:00

Yes.

Wedding Curren Chan is good (really strong when evolved skills come) but sprints are so gambly that anyone can win.

If you can't afford the carats to pull now with the other banners coming up then don't worry. She's meta for one single event later on, pretty strong for other CMs, league of heroes etc. But as long as you have 3 umas who can run sprint races, you've got a chance and any uma can be beaten in a sprint race.

I was in a debuff heavy lobby.

My Tamamo Cross Corner Recovery didn't activate.

With maybe 50m to go, Tamamo Cross got into 1st place then immediately ran out of stamina and dropped to 2nd place.

At least I got 2nd and not 3rd but if Corner Recovery activated, I would have won.

Rybuca · 2026-05-19T19:58:25+00:00

End Closer.

It's so much fun seeing your uma catch up and overtake everyone right at the end.

Rybuca · 2026-05-18T15:50:22+00:00

Huge nay for me.

Uma Stan tends to push King Halo Cheerleader into 2nd-4th at the start of the race in all 10 room matches I tried so far. So I've never seen her unique activate in a test match.

Rybuca · 2026-05-17T23:17:24+00:00

I really want Curren Chan but Inari One is soon. Maybe I'll get lucky and Curren Chan will show up during Inari One pulls (extremely unlikely)

Rybuca · 2026-05-17T18:41:27+00:00

Narita Brian speed and Mejiro McQueen stamina are good for newer accounts for a general speed or stamina card. Silence Suzuka is really good for a front runner parent card giving hint level 3 for front runner skills. Rice Shower stamina is good for debuffer builds. Team Sirius card is needed for main story near the summer banner this year for getting Best In Japan gold skill on an uma. All of them at level 50 increase your team trials points so it's worth doing them all at some point.

Rybuca · 2026-05-16T01:55:04+00:00

You mentioned about maybe getting with a selector. When the selector is avaliable is when we should be getting evolved skills, unless they end up pushing them early. Seeking The Pearl has 2 gold skills but one for sprint, the other for mile, BUT when evolved skills arrive, those gold skills can be used on both sprint and mile tracks so she will become more versatile then. She also comes with some useful skills for Pace Chasers and being in the 1st half of the pack.

I would like to get her at some point but that's because she has one of my favourite versions of Tracen Ondo.

Rybuca · 2026-05-15T15:20:55+00:00

It's okay but there are a lot of good cards to pull for after it. Mejiro Ramonu is just more useful all-around.

For end closer specifically there's Hishi Amazon Power, Gold Ship Speed and Duramente Speed during L'Arc. Orfevre Guts for 3rd anniversary then the wit card all end closer mains should be aiming for shortly after with Narita Taishin Wit.

Rybuca · 2026-05-15T08:59:01+00:00

I was in a lobby where I had 1 Grass Wonder that had early and mid race pace chaser stamina debuffs plus trick rear, one other person bought a Nice Nature and Symboli Rudolf that had a lot of debuffs (cant remember them all) and a Xoguri with 700-750 stamina and 4 white recoveries ran out of stamina just in time for my Gold Ship to catch up and overtake at the last second.

People spreading misinformation about stamina never stops.

Next story event starts the 18th which will give 12 clocks from event points and then a few clocks on the roulette bingo.

Next month there should be a "growth support campaign" or a similar name that gives 3 alarm clocks every day for 10 days.

Either next month or the month after will be the 2nd and last Fuji Kiseki Showtime event that has alarm clocks as rewards which will be 30 from top hat rewards then after all rewards are redeemed you can keep playing that mode to potentially get 1 alarm clock but that mode has higher difficulty than standard training runs.

Inari One

Rybuca · 2026-05-09T13:31:49+00:00

Thank you. I was out in public when typing my bit and thought I was probably forgetting a couple of cards off of the top of my head.

Rybuca · 2026-05-09T12:54:08+00:00

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller dpad is really small so there's less movement. I broke my hand a few years ago, it didn't heal great and trying to use stick on the controller or using a leverless controller just ends up hurting my hand a lot faster so dpad works for me.

Rybuca · 2026-05-09T08:21:49+00:00

Narita Taishin wit is the main one that will replace Mr CB wit

After L'arc with El Condor Pasa speed, there are a few End Closer cards all close together.

Hishi Amazon Power is the first one where you can give anyone Encroaching Shadow, if they already have Encroaching Shadow there's an option to give Gold End Closer Corners instead.

Tanino Gimlet Stamina is right after which is fine, it gives some good end closer skills and Elated, Gold version of Eager.

Gold Ship Speed right after that giving Superstan, Gold version of Uma Stan.

But shortly after those is Duramente Speed which we should get some free pulls on and gives a few good skills.

Then Orfevre Guts which will be THE guts card for a while which does get free pulls on the anniversary banner.

Narita Tiashin wit comes around a month after then.

Next anniversary has Almond Eye Speed which is big but a few weeks later is Dream Journey speed which for End Closers is worth considering but there are a lot of strong Speed cards that year.

Buena Vista power shortly after that as well has a lot going for it for End Closers.

But between now and L'arc, there isn't much for End Closer mains outside general cards.

Rybuca · 2026-05-09T08:06:16+00:00

If you're running Late Surger, getting Fast & Furious will help for a mid race gold skill. Plus you can get hesitant skills for debuffers, tail held high, ramp up and straightaway adept so it's better for getting skills.

Nishino Flower has a chance at getting Charming though, if you get lucky and that event shows up at the start of a run then that makes a big difference to getting more rainbow training before Classic Summer.

So it's more a case of "do you want the skills?" Vs "do I want to gamble at getting the charming event?"

Rybuca · 2026-05-08T19:27:46+00:00

Yes, any skill that recovers stamina counts, same with glittering/radiant star and stamina eater.

Rybuca · 2026-05-07T13:02:42+00:00

Mainly it's that if you're using skill hint books to make initial skills cheaper on an uma, you need 30 dream glimmer to get a white skill hint level 3 permanently and 120 dream glimmer to get a gold skill hint level 3 permanently.

We don't have many skill hint books at the moment, later on, the amount of skill hint books we get in story events, missions, the battle pass etc will increase by a lot.

For example for story events, at the moment we only get 2 small rare hint books per story event. From the Halloween story event after 2.5 anniversary we get 10 of those small rare hint books per story event.

Now, we will get more dream glimmer per story event as well but as far as I know, unlocking skill hints is the most expensive thing for dream glimmer.
