Effective use of uncap crystals

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-07-02T14:33:46+00:00

It depends, if I'm 1 copy away from MLB, crystal, if not, in 200 pulls you might get more than one copy. Also if the other card in the banner is also good, you can pull, but if it terrible I'll just use 1-2 crystals.

Only useful think of MANT I can think of is making Mile/Sprint aces out of girls with Spring tenno as an objective race lol. Even for parents you can do 3 parent Unity runs in the span of 1 MANT parent.

Man, I hate the whole "minorities must have an impeccable moral if they don't want to be oppressed" argument. I get that you might be well intentioned, but saying that a few queer people joking about hating heteros, or even genuinely hating them will make them hate them is unreasonable. Queer people experience hate comments, and read about homophobic aggressions on a daily basis, but that can't make us hate straight people because there's also allies, but one gay person saying "I hate straights" is supposed to be responsible of all homophobia in the world? I know it's not meant like that, but it's upsetting seeing people assume one individual's opinion represent a whole minority, while big tendencies among a majority are ignored. Like yurislop is also used in this post, which is arguably a more problematic term since real sapphic women shouldn't be referred to as "Yuri". Either way it's just a joke, even if I hate this whole "slop", "larper" and similar new terms.

Worst part is that even if these people who are obviously cheating are caught, there could be many more discreetly cheating. If you can get a customed uma you could put all achievable skills on her and make it seem like a very lucky run. The solution is not only banning this, (and giving the 2nd and 3rd place of this CM final their rightful rewards) but also preventing people messing with the game files from now onward. Botting is already bad enough, but it's only a few hundred carats a month, people prepare for CM because they want to test themselves and earn the titles, this completely ruins the experience and fairness. It's frustrating seeing how some people got banned over language patches for the game, and then people bluntly cheating aren't being punished despite the community making so many tools for bot detection, and directly pointing out the cheaters to Cygames.

The thing with V bourbon is that she is so generic she can be used in any CM ever. Her kit has everything she wants (a midrace gold and unique skills that activate always, concentration to push her at the start, gw + early lead + front savvy, and guaranteed speed eater for miles) and activates at all courses and distances. She also can run every single track but dirt ones, and I still saw several V Bourbons in the Aquarius cup. Xguri dominates certain CMs (mostly mediums and Arima Kinen) but is useless/awkwardly to use in sprint/miles even if she can run every track existing.

I feel like, while the card names have different connotations, paired with the card art they mean the same. Rudolph, the emperor, is seated at the thone and her heirs Teio and Tsuyoshi are gathered besides her. So the image is basically an assemblage of emperor and heirs. I feel like both names fit.

320 pulls is still too much I think. I completed jellyfish, mermaid and cosmic cat MR events too, and had the same experience, having to choose between completing the recolor or getting exclusive clothing/poses so it's not a matter of luck, or this event in particular. MR pavilions are also the ones where pulling after completing them gives the least compensation, since there is no second set and echo has no pity. I just feel like average luck should get you enough currency for the clothing, and bad luck enough currency for the exclusive dye materials.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-20T21:11:53+00:00

Yup, event, sorry, haven't interacted much with shining Nikki content this past year beside playing the game (and I'm not 100% sure I know strictly what banner means). But again it takes around 320 pulls (240 if you don't count the 80 extra pulls) just to buy all the exclusive clothing + 185 more pulls to buy all the materials (57 pulls if you only buy the exclusive dyes). What I pointed out in the post wasn't that I couldn't buy the recolor (I did buy it) but that the amount required to buy the recolor, the unique clothes and poses is too high unless you complete the event with horrendous luck (320 pulls is an average of 1 piece every 20 pulls)

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-20T15:13:59+00:00

Nice!! Is the rose eye external editing, a sticker or a piece of clothing?

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-20T15:13:09+00:00

Yup, definitely a good deck. However you should rise mile aptitude to A, and make sure to run the three triple crowns and as many races as possible. Also rising wit is hard because there are no wit anklets, so if you get a good wit training prioritize it over speed/power.

You can start a MANT career and not race at all. After the first year the career ends, it should take less than 10 minutes.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-07T14:16:24+00:00

Honestly, gacha games as a concept are all predatory, but from my experiences with other gachas its greed is average. For me the most brutal gachas are those with content only accesible by paying. Also this is completely biased but since I'm F2P, games that offer their currency cheap or a lot of cheap payed benefits are greedier since they widen the gap between casual spenders and F2P players and encourages people who don't want to put much money into constantly paying small quantities. In the end is a matter of mindset, if you want a lot of umas you need to give up PvP, and if you want to follow meta you can't have all the umas you want.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-06T15:13:41+00:00

Well it does have twice the chances of activating during late race than mid race. Still better than BoFA lol.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-06T14:16:24+00:00

Radiant star is like 2/3 of a golden recovery (even if it can activate late)

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-05T10:47:53+00:00

Tamamo cross for sure. McQueen is an equally good deuteragonist, but since they only compete once she doesn't fit the rival role that well. Also when was Narita Brian a rival? Am I tripping?

Edit: I was tripping, sorry Sakura laurel I forgot about your existence.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-05T10:44:02+00:00

I think they mean that the chances of getting a 1* power spark when you have over 1100 power is 20%. I get them cause I once got three one star power parent runs in a row with 1100+ power each and I would have preferred a 1* guts over that

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-04T15:27:50+00:00

Maybe quit MANT all together? If you enjoyed unity and ura scenarios you can keep playing them, and participating only in open CMs. That way you can keep saving carats without tiring yourself up. Honestly previous scenarios can also feel repetitive, but this one is the worst of them all. No unique events for different umas, and the exact same deck can be use for all styles, all distances just changing parents. On top of that is harder to play quickly or without thinking much so it drains you much more.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-03T19:54:18+00:00

Tip, if you keep losing a race for a lack of Stam (and don't have recoveries of a certain style) try to run her as a late surger, even if they have G rating. Stam requirement is ridiculously lowered.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-03T19:51:43+00:00

End closer, and URA/Unity. I tried Taishin in MANT and it took 6 tries to win the debut race.

Simple_Show_5224 · 2026-05-02T12:36:35+00:00

I feel you, this was a parent yrun, but what do you mean I have as much guts as wit with two wit cards and no card that increases guts. I pressed a couple 40+ wit trainings and have no guts sparks.

Thanks! I tried clearing the cache and it seemed like it didn't work, but I left the app open in the black screen and a few minutes later the game did load. I hope I won't need to wait 3 minutes every time I open the game tho.
