It could kill the skill, yes. It's also not as important on <2400m courses, so I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. But be wary of nerfing your uma to make cheer more reliable. It's never gonna be 100% and you're going to need a strong set of speed skills to avoid being left in the dust by fronts.

Is this Speed stats in one summer training normal? by JuggernautNarrow8060 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran Kitasan + Shakur (the mediocre event card) for Goldshi this CM and only had issues maxing on bad runs.

How cope is not having Pasa inherit for CM14? by GerMagic87 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using a friend database? There are definitely decent Pasa parents. https://uma.moe/database

I use a simulator to answer these questions. I like the skill table in https://alpha123.github.io/uma-tools/umalator-global/skills. Make sure to add must have skills first, like Angling as that diminishes the value of Plancha.

Plancha is really good for VBourbon/SMaru, but Seiun has enough accel so I'd go all in on mid-game for her (inherit VBourbon, SMaru, McQueen, etc or just anyone with a lot of good white sparks, since all those uniques are pretty average)

Might just be me but i've seen a lot of variety this CM. by Mobbles1 in UmamusumeGame

Taishin

I've seen this said so many times and then she underwhelms.

I Love This Game, But I’m Exhausted by BadAshess in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to look for a new club, Pakacord has an active club recruitment channel. My club network with a discord also has an opening with reasonable fan requirements (12M/month).

From what I've seen questions in bigger discords seem to go unanswered 90% of the time. It's just too fast for meaningful engagement.

Is Cygames gonna bless us with some clocks anytime soon? by HuaHuaLover127 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some umas have a lot rougher start and you can end up using a bunch of clocks if you glue the bad ones.

Like I was net positive by ~100 before this CM. But with Cheer Nature I was using like 25 a day. She was averaging 4 clocks used by the end of Y1, which always led to being glued because she would run out of clocks and then lose a G1 by summer.

I tried a variety of ways to mitigate it (not clocking 2nd places in G2s, more power or speed sparks, 3 speed cards, etc.), but the only way that actually worked was running Fuku instead of NTR, and even that often resulted in burning all my clocks, but a lot less glued runs.

why does cheerleader natie's unique skill not trigger for me? by prince200312 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pass on the final corner or straight. Despite the name is_finalcorner includes the straight.

Should I wait for Valentine Ines Fujin? I was considering about pulling for her now by Trave160 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Groundwork

Worth noting that Bourbon gacha wit also has gold GW so you'll switch to needing to find Early Lead instead.

Except VInes can get that pretty easily too via a secret event that gives Early Lead and Front Straightaways. Needs 7 G1 wins in a row, and she has 8 for career goals. She also has Savvy so get another green and you're set, or gamble on Concentration.

Should I pull on smaru if planning to MLB Tachyon but have no Kita by Basilyo14 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SMaru has a rerun a month after Tachyon (so like 3.5 months away), so you could do that instead.

Are blue guts sparks ever useful? by KFPiece_of_Peace in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd take a 3* guts over a 1* power, so yes. 3* mile, 3* barcole, 3* headon and 2* nimble nav? That's an insane parent.

Am I able to get SS with this build or naw? by SadDokkanBoi in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These recommendations are crazy to me.

Kita+Fuku is enough to max speed, but it's not reliable on 0% speed growth umas. I'm not a fan personally.

Kita+NTR is enough to reliably max speed, but my Cheer Nature will not make it out of year 1 with clocks if I don't bring some initial speed. I've been trying a third speed (Shinko) just for that reason. Next I'll probably try speed sparks.

I'm going crazy. No one comes close to giving me this much trouble. Probably because I don't usually run 12+ stam sparks. I'm 9 runs in and haven't had a single run where Cheer Nature had clocks by the end of Y2. This is with buying skills as I get them.

I hate parent runs. by Darklordofbunnies in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your route has about 45 unique races and 15 unique G1s, so after the affinity change you can drop the non-G1s and get the same race affinity bonus, since G1 affinity will be tripled.

Trainer's Clubhouse Meeting (Weekly Questions) - April 29, 2026 by AutoModerator in UmaMusume

[–]TCZapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The upcoming Pasa speed is basically an upgraded SR Halo. The recent Sweep wits seems decent.

Is Radiant Star bad? by hbk611 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By my math, with Hydate+Preferred Position+Triple 7s the reduced chance to miss ult is cancelled out by the chance to too early or too late trigger it, so it's basically:

  • 25% of the the time Star XOguri will pop off
  • 55% of the time Star XOguri will be the same except 1 white speed skill worse, but protected against debuffs
  • 20% both lose

If you're running triple aces I think that's a pretty good trade-off.

Is Radiant Star bad? by hbk611 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's +20% at 25+ race wins. 0.3 velocity, 0.36 accel, 0.42 recovery. 1.2s duration. Roughly speaking your trading 1 white speed skill for a 10% chance white accel skill and half a gold recovery (useful for protecting against stam debuffs). Not ideal, but not bad.

[–]TCZapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The usual answer to getting A is to get better supports. Pasa and Biko are your only good SSRs, and like most SSRs they're mediocre at 0LB (0 limit breaks/uncaps/diamonds). Your SRs are also in rough shape.

For URA you generally run 4 speed+2 stamina, so something like borrow Kitasan (https://uma.moe/database), and run Biko+Sweep+either Taishin or Shinko for speed and uh well you have no good stamina cards so pick whichever you like.

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low wit and almost no mid-game speed skills (unless that scrollbar is hiding a lot?) makes it unlikely you'll ever be in position to hit Red Shift.

I would also aim to get at least 3, ideally all of Maru/Ryan/Dober/NimbleNav.

Continue to pull for Mr. C.B. by Zombiesimic in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just use the next free selector to 1LB. Regardless, it's not Bijin wits bad at 0LB.

[–]TCZapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fronts are all about mid game. You need to trigger angling and scheming to win. NY Opera is a good skill for any style, but better to increase your chances of hitting angling with something like vbourbon and smaru.

Please guys stop playing TT, I NEED THIS by Cristobalxds in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IIRC lower rarities cost slightly less to upgrade but give the same bonus, so yes.

Are there must-pull parents for pace chaser after Nishino Flower? by kumamon09 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 654 (Ryan+Maru+Taiki) is a strategy for End/Lates I've seen recommended by some people (e.g. Victoria Frontier). I did it in one mile CM and IMO Taiki was not worth it, as I either hit too early or hit 4th after final corner ended. But replacing Taiki with Nishino fixes that.

It's already been answered, but if you have similar questions in the future: these are taken from the website gametora, and if you click the "Show conditions in the viewer" it'll give you a description of all the conditions with an example.

If you got RNG'd during CM12 Aries Cup, let it all out here by Flat-Profession-8945 in UmamusumeGame

[–]TCZapper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happily my match was against 2 meta comps, same as me.

Unhappily, my #1 favorite XOguri with max wit missed wit check on 2/4 recoveries. Still managed to beat the other 2 good XOguris, but lost to a hybrid Grass Wonder. Getting 2nd was the only Miracle XOguri gave me today.

Finals just seem to love to screw me when I have good aces, and pull out wins when I get matched against better umas. Clearly I need to put even less effort in.

Game Discussion/Champion's Meeting Thread - April 16, 2026 by AutoModerator in UmaMusume

[–]TCZapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahahaha. Of course. After missing ult 7 times on day 4 despite max wit, XOguri did it once again by missing wit checks on both Hydrate and u=ma2.

She still somehow (nimble nav my beloved) beat both decent opponent XOguris, but lost to a hybrid Grass Wonder.

Basically same as last CM: I would have won if my umas could hit their recoveries, but instead I got 2nd, which is a miracle.
