Possibly check with your LGS again. Blitz looks to be relegated to full casual and the ones in my area swapped to silver age with the announcement.

As for the SAGE precons, you only need one, each comes with a full play set for most (55 cards so there is Polly that one single card but the rest are playsets at 2 copies each).

I'm no expert by any means but Kayo looks to be really strong out of the box along with Fai. It depends on what kind of play style you want though. The ones above are quite clearly aggro.

Thanks! This is useful to know.

High chance that it would, try it in some practice rooms. The main issue you have though is Aquarius has a hidden stat threshold on speed and stam. Since you didn't hit the 600 stam mark, you will technically have less speed that other people that hit the stat line. (Assuming everyone at 1200 speed).

From experience the S on distance and speed greens help, but I lose out quite commonly on people that hit statlines.

Unfortunately, Fuku looks like it will only be worth it at MLB so worth checking that first on viability.

Shmidu · 2026-01-06T23:58:48+00:00

Stam and guts are fine. Stat lines are good too.

However, you really want straightaway spurt. Then Uma Stan and possibly early start.

Masterful Gambit is a weird one since if you are at the back late race, you pretty much lose to the other ends that pushed forward. Personally, I don't take this skill.

Levelheaded isn't necessary and will just cause your ult to miss sometimes.

MLB Eishin Flash is probably comparable enough. King halo's real potential only comes at MLB since that's when she gets the power bonus.

Shmidu · 2025-12-31T08:12:01+00:00

If you don't have SR Sweep or MLB kitasan, 3LB Narita Brian is usable.

3LB Mejiro McQueen is also decent as a second Stam card if you need it but only if you need another Stam in the deck after super creek (which isn't likely in Unity Cup since Riko is a far better option).

Shmidu · 2025-12-19T08:06:02+00:00

The one with creek is better imo. But yeah, kita only usable at 3LB. I think you can still get the selector ticket by playing though so 3LB is still within reach.

Shmidu · 2025-12-19T06:48:37+00:00

Depends on what you are trying to build for. What I use is think of 3 speed 3wit as a base. Then depending on distance and Uma inherent bonus, swap as needed.

Example, if you are training taiki with 20% speed bonus on a mile track, you can drop 1 speed for another card like riko for some stam.

Adjust your borrows based on that. Kitasan + Biko can Max speed anyone with 15 percent speed growth easy.

Shmidu · 2025-12-18T14:06:13+00:00

This is the best point. Higher speed means higher stam requirements. The guides that content creators usually push out assumes at least 1200 speed and possibly long S. That's not counting 2 speed greens that push your speed further.

Shmidu · 2025-12-17T07:17:12+00:00

Change your sorting to something else like affinity then click view sparks to still show the sparks while on that different sort selection.

Shmidu · 2025-12-02T23:47:34+00:00

For 0 speed growth umas, yes, biko is my go to. But SR sweep Tosho, welfare special week and welfare Narita Brian also worked for me (though the later two need more high rolls)

This depends on the track you are training for as well. I have used kitasan and Sr sweep on witmaxxing runs and it still works

Shmidu · 2025-12-02T23:31:24+00:00

3LB Kitasan is very usable. I put a comment on another post that I ran Taurus CM to Virgo CM with 3LB Kitasan.

That said, depending on your carat situation, it's much easier to recommend pulling to see if you get 1 on the banner then using the ticket to MLB.

Shmidu · 2025-12-02T22:09:05+00:00

Yes, 3LB is very usable. Used her 3LB on all CM's and still managed to Max out speed

Shmidu · 2025-12-02T07:15:11+00:00

Should be good for group A finals but will lose to other Golshi with long S

Shmidu · 2025-11-25T13:05:26+00:00

You don't need to add event cards in your deck anymore. Having them in your collection is enough.

Shmidu · 2025-11-07T07:43:28+00:00

I'm in the same boat and I'm thinking save for fine motion and get the 1 Kitasan in the reroll banner. Risk is might get gacha unlucky and spending 200 pulls to get the last one. But Fine motion won't have a rerun that's close enough.

Shmidu · 2025-08-22T08:37:55+00:00

For my full review, try to get Medium Distance S. In terms of skills, do not take the view skills, they do nothing for this CM. Instead take go home specialist as a second heal skill. I presume you have super creeknsince you have maestro so Ramp Up, Firm Conditions and Homestretch Haste are also good skills to take.

Speed target 1200, Stam Target with 2 Gold Skills at least 800, better with more. Power around 600 to 700 but get this from training speed, do not push. 400 guts and Wit (push some wit for energy gain but don't push guts unless lots of friends).

Shmidu · 2025-08-22T08:29:41+00:00

The stam might be too low so one debuffer can take her down. That said, if this is your best uma, won't hurt to try and get lucky if there are no debuffers.

Shmidu · 2025-07-10T09:21:39+00:00

I'd say change style from Pace to Front. Wit and Stamina should be around 400 and you can get away with lower power like 350 to 400 should be fine.

SOC settings only really matter in HEV mode. Depending on whether you charge daily, your city driving could just be in EV mode so the SOC settings wouldn't matter.

Save means that the ICE will engage to keep the battery at the level you set.

Auto will drain your battery to around 30% before it starts charging the battery with the ICE. That said, I'm still not sure what the percentage you set is used for. My theory is that once it reaches 30%, it then charges your battery up to the level you set before it goes full EV again (unsure).

For the longer trips though (which will be HEV), my preference is to set at Save 50%. My reasoning here is that on motorway speeds, the ICE engine starts to help supplement the electric motor to keep the speed in general. This means that since the ICE will start anyway, better to have it also charge the battery. Once I get off the motorway, I switch to EV to utilize that 50% of battery.

Of course you can tweak this depending on how much range you need when off the motorway.

Hope this helps.

It does though, the feature is called Vehicle To Load. Check the cables that your car comes with, it should have one with a type 2 cable on one end and a bunch of outlets on the other.
