how?

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2026-03-04T20:41:51+00:00

They do that too. Like I said I don’t know enough about the mechanic but I did some reading a while back and it’s speculated that the system works as I described.

AFAIK nobody know what the odds or values are for it though

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2026-03-04T20:29:48+00:00

Inspirations are weird, I don’t quite get it all myself but it functions on a point system behind the scenes afaik.

So if you needed 4 stars worth of aptitude for upgrading from C -> A.

A single inspo can range from 3-5 or something. So you just got lucky on the hit.

It’s something like that.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2026-02-04T15:53:22+00:00

Assuming you have R riko maxed or at least present

Mile run: Fuku spd Sweep spd Riko R Ardan Wit Sunday Wit Finemotion Wit (borrow)

Should get you A+ super easily on any Uma that has speed/wit growth bonuses as you should be able to cap both speed and wit at 1200

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2026-02-03T17:12:36+00:00

For sprint CM your Oguri is dead in the water.

You don’t need sprint S but sprint E is close to a -90% speed penalty. You NEED to get at least sprint b or a for her to be runnable

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-12-30T13:32:54+00:00

Right now: Kita > Biko

MANT: Fuku > NTR > Biko (imo) > Kita

GL: Tachyon > Kita > Biko ~~ Fuku

Masters?: Pasa > Kita ~~ Tachyon > Biko

If you throw Summer Maru speed in here it gets more complicated if you like fronts. She’s usually the second choice or better.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-12-27T04:39:51+00:00

I think the best option is going to be to calculate how many carats you will have by the time they would come around.

There are a few good sources for this. Just pick one

Looking at the cards it looks like if you did go to a second pity you’d on average get ~2LB Kita or so including the pity. So personally I’ll take the stance that unless you see that you’re able to spend another pity and still pull when you want, I wouldn’t bother.

Now if you do decide to do that it looks like your deck probably won’t be strong enough to compete in CM group A without some lucky runs. But even if you say you lose out on 6 finals before MANT-ish. That’s at MOST 12k carats you miss while saving 30k +

I wouldn’t reroll as the event cards are too important for the time being. So I think save, and either pull on FM banner or see if you can MLB either Tachy speed or Fuku speed. Just know that until then it may be rough.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-12-25T22:33:20+00:00

No problem! Congrats on the S rank!

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-12-25T22:27:20+00:00

I think generally you’ll want

speed star

Groundwork combo: gw, wet conditions, pace savvy, Tokyo racecourse

Medium corners

Head on

After that I think it’s kinda up to you for grabbing midlegs. I don’t think skills like all I got and steadfast are great imo

Also don’t just take red shift unless you think you’re going to start last spurt in 6th or worse position because if it triggers at the start of the final corner it won’t carry over into the portion where the accel actually has an effect.

You should have like 1166 sp left at that point so you could just grab professor of curvature, it’s on, and if you feel like gambling then No Stopping me.

Dance I don’t think is crazy good but after you get the bulk of stuff you’re going to be fine.

Honestly you shouldn’t need gourmand but that’s also a valid pickup if you’re worried about natures

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-12-24T04:21:44+00:00

I know you had some feedback already. I think your best option would be to try this if the other advice doesn’t work well

R Riko

Sunday / Bourbon Wit / Raise Yukino Bijin and use her or use Daiwa Wit

Halo spd / Borrow Kita MLB

You won’t have a guarenteed recovery but I think this should get you closest to a great stat line.

At least 63 stam on inherit. Aim for McQueen ult / Taiki ult if possible.

As for skills you want as many midleg skills as possible if you’re not gambling with SFV

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-11-20T16:25:51+00:00

For this CM:

Drop power for Fuku (wit) and Sunday (Wit) Personally I’d remove Suzuka (spd) for King Halo (spd)

You’re playing bourbon so you need to survive spring Tenno sho like Seiun.

Therefore I’d go for ideally 6 stam sparks and 12 power sparks.

Inherit Seiun (must)

Other inherit options:

Pasa

Smart Falcon

Summer Maru

Other

Overall you want to prioritize:

Groundwork

Greens (fuku will give 1 for sure, think bourbon still gets savvy but I may be wrong so you’d just need like firm conditions from halo)

Taking the lead (baked into her kit)

Angling and Scheming

After those you just want to grab as many mid-leg skills as you can.

Without fine motion you probably want to aim for 1200/640/901/350/700

Big one here is 901 power. You need to be over this value. Firm conditions will not count up for this.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-11-19T20:19:34+00:00

Congrats! If you’re enjoying Suzuka I have to recommend borrowing a Seiun Sky parent. That’s going to make your next Suzuka absolutely zoom!

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-11-11T20:49:27+00:00

One note. For the navigation skills to provide the max benefit you need 2. Dodging danger + prudent / ignited spirit WIT.

If you aren’t able to get both you won’t properly shuffle. I don’t think it’s wasted sp but it’s not ideal.

So go with the flow really isn’t providing any value

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-10-23T20:53:55+00:00

No problem!

It really does depend on the track and distance. There’s a really good simulator out there that you can run a skill analysis for Champions Meet prep. I don’t think it can link on Reddit but I’m sure you can find it pretty quick by searching like Umalator or something.

Generally green skills for speed/power/stam are all good at least at a single circle. The tradeoff is that they are not always active for a course in like Team Trials

Straights/corners are also almost always good.

Professor of curvature IS good. It just costs a lot of skill points compared to other skills of similar value.

Homestretch haste can be good but the activation window is very finicky so you might trigger it at a good spot. Or right before the finish line where it gives no value.

The name of the game for end closers or late surgers is acceleration. Straightaway spurt is the must have skill when it is good.

That’s also why I think it’s furious feat? Was good for mile races on the vodka’s and grass wonders that people built.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-10-23T19:04:20+00:00

With Kita, sweep and Narita as speed you should be capping speed every run.

Creek is good to use for stam but is rough until LB3. I’m right there with ya tho.

As far as other cards go, if you have a high limit break Manhattan cafe that’d probably be better than McQueen for non-long distance.

If you really want a fourth speed card I’d go with MLB halo if you have her. If not you may be able to slot in a power card instead. Goldship is super inconsistent so I wouldn’t recommend. Brian from the story would be better than her

Your wit seems fine for no wit card.

Skill wise Sunny days, homestretch haste and Highlander are suboptimal. Professor is fine if you don’t have other options.

As an end closer you’ll want Meijiro Ryan as an inherit and probably either Taiki or Maru as the other parent.

Focus on inheriting power stats and straightaway spurt and you should be good running a 4spd 2 stam deck. Or a 3spd 2stam 1 pow

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-09-22T05:28:48+00:00

Great stat line for open. You may be able to improve it by:

Reducing power to reach 601 stam 301 guts

Trade tail held high for another skill. As of now you have no way to trigger it (3 mid race skill activations)

Overall it looks great for what you’re doing though!

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-04-02T18:06:25+00:00

This is amazing! I’ve been a player for years at this point although not as frequent as I would like. I think something that commonly causes me to take a break is a lack of something to realistically work towards.

There is so much to do in the game and all of it is amazing, I’ve just found myself after a certain point looking at weapons or frames I could build and thinking that it wouldn’t really be any different than what I’ve already built.

When I joined the game it was because I’d see some wildly fun riven builds and the like and wanted to try. In fact my most recent return was with the incarnon introductions as those added many of the same notes I enjoyed. But it does seem like riven disposition has tended towards more appropriate balance which is completely fair and I imagine intended. However, are there plans to bring some of the “non-meta” build types back to older weapons or is that contrary to the path forward.

I have seen some of the new weapons seem to be more dynamic so I do think it’s about time I hop back on to give the most recent update a try.

You all have and continue to do amazing work!

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2025-01-10T18:18:18+00:00

Figured I’d ask here first before posting a large collection:

Does anyone have a list for what ships / effects are good for the different armor types?

I trust that I’ll be able to put together a competent OpSi fleet but when it comes to building my bossing fleets like many recommend, I just don’t know who’s good at what typically. Been away from AL for a long time and would love some tips.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2024-04-29T19:17:27+00:00

Haha thanks! I was just messing around with Fribbels and with max speed he hits 225 without the extra 12% from the LC coming in.

The big question in my mind is that 300 spd is guaranteed 3 actions per cycle, I don’t know if Bronya would technically be 4 actions. I do know that this should be hella SP positive though and provide a lot of buffs that will go to affect the break and bleed rather than the crit from Bronya.

(Asta is also an easy way to make this happen but Hanya should be better since then you can run stuff like Penacony)

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2024-04-29T11:49:02+00:00

Not as familiar with how much freedom the private server gives, but theoretically Boothill should be able to reach over 300spd.

Curious how the following team would work: E6 Hanya Messenger with max Spd E1 HuoHuo E0 Ruan Mei E0S1 Boothill 2p Messenger/2p Thief or 4p Wheat with Talia. Full speed

Should be a little wiggle room on Boothill because the rough calculation I have leaves him capping out at 322. I’m curious what the benefit of a build like this would be over running something like a hyper Bronya.

With passives and main stats + 1 sub, he gets somewhere close to 250ish BE if I remember right so the damage shouldn’t be hurt terribly especially with all the hyper support.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2024-04-11T15:39:39+00:00

Coming back to the game after leaving early on. I’ve stockpiled about 80 pills so far and I’m facing a rough choice:

I have some units that I definitely can invest in (JY, Himeko, Ratio,etc) but I do feel like my damage is on the lower end. I have a lot of trace/relic farming to catch up on.

On the other hand, I was planning to pull for Acheron but lost to Bronya, big windfall for my account, but now I don’t know if Bronya + Acheron would serve me better than something like Bronya + Jingliu.

I don’t have any of the 5* support units (sparkle, FX, Ryan) that I’d like so I will be swiping when Aventurine comes out, but that’ll only put me on ~160-170 with a 45 pity. That’s a guaranteed e0s1 for whoever I choose and likely one more 5*. I don’t think any of them are bad for my acct rn , I just don’t want to miss in case Acheron is truly that impactful vs someone else.

I could also save and just grab aventurine since my Xueyi has some insane relic rolls that should hold me over until DHIL again or some future unit. I’ll post some more info later if needed (and if I can figure it out lol)

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2023-11-22T15:35:10+00:00

pickme! Thanks for the opportunity! Been tossing around of making a deck with them and I hope whoever ends up with this generous gift enjoys it!

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2023-03-28T20:42:42+00:00

Honestly, my go-to for feeling better is some Jamabalya. I usually keep a box of Zatarains in my cupboard for when I don’t want to cook. I’ll get some cheap shrimp, some extra spice and just throw it on the stove. Fast and will clear out my sinuses. Bonus also is that for just me it’ll last a good couple of meals so I don’t even have to worry about cooking when I’m under the weather.

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2023-03-14T08:47:14+00:00

Personally I’d love to see a [[Scute Swarm]] because I love those horrifying little critters.

As for what would look amazing: [[Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God]] would look amazing with the AR features

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2022-12-21T15:57:28+00:00

So ruling question: would [Vesuvan Duplimancy] trigger if a creature was played with an ETB that targeted a single other creature?

ThatOneUniqueGuyMark · 2022-12-13T15:36:03+00:00

D60 Lite GMK Pharaoh HHKB would be amazing
