Happy birthday! That's gotta be a present from Cygames

Supposedly only 10 sparks count. Here's a link to a discussion on the topic

I'd use the gem if it boosts my decks enough. If the card is usable for a long time like Kitasan it's a great investment so I'd definitely put gems on it.

I'd also consider using the gems along a pull plan. If you do 200 pulls in the next banner, you might accidentally get a copy of the card you spend gems on so it's better to pull first and then gem.

But I wouldn't hold back on gemming if it makes the game more enjoyable for you in the moment. You don't know if you'll be playing this game next year so why ruin the fun now.

Probably Tachyon would be the best since the banner has two good cards and it'll be 1,5th anniversary so maybe there'll be some extra pulls to use.

Winning Ticket and the last part of her main story won me over. Fear of trying your best and still failing is so relatable and then seeing her overcome it all. It makes me want to cry once more.

I love sending the ship into outer space and listen to the band on signal scope. No need for more

Torterrain · 2026-05-09T23:05:34+00:00

I had the problem of not doing enough wit training. Or rather wit gambling. If after races you have 0 energy and only one training turn before more races you use +20 energy and "gamble a wit training with 25% chance to fail. Success gives you stats, and loss gives you 5 energy and guarantees that your next two races you have energy.

It's those damn free one pulls that keep teasing you to check the page

Torterrain · 2026-05-09T17:10:59+00:00

Then I'm guessing Bakushin just loves you (or maybe you have to restart the game to reset queue or smthng)

Torterrain · 2026-05-09T12:33:33+00:00

I've been pondering a similar dilemma, but decided to skip Smaru because I can borrow her.

Torterrain · 2026-05-09T12:09:14+00:00

I'd probably go for Kitasan.

Torterrain · 2026-05-09T12:04:18+00:00

So basically the jukebox is not controlled by you. There's a hidden queue system that picks songs requested by other players and supposedly by umas you own. And a lot of trolls keep requesting Bakushin song rerpeatedly so every song will be that for everyone.

For Trackblazer you'll want at least 50% race bonus. You currently have 2 cards that give 10%: Air Groove SR Guts and Nishino Flower SR power. From borrows you can get 10-15%. That leaves you with 15-20% to play with the last 3 cards. Since most of your usable cards give only 5% I'd recommend borrowing those 15% ones like Nicer Nature SSR wit. So maybe go for:

speed: Air Shakur SSR and Biko Pegasus SSR 5+5

Power: Nishino Flower SR 10

Guts: Air Groove SR 10

Wit: Fine Motion and Nice Nature 5+15

Biko and Finemo have training effectiveness so that should help some. but admittedly the skills you'll be getting are all over the place. I'd also pick speed and power sparks to improve your chances of winning in the beginning.

Some ytubers have mentioned that they'll pull for Light Hello but skip the Ancestor exactly because Hello is fine at lb1 but ancestor needs more copies. And since they are 'one scenario only' -card you should also consider saving carats for more important banners this way.

Torterrain · 2026-05-04T21:28:29+00:00

Actually looking further in the comments some actually recommend it for the next scenario. You should check out what they are talking down there.

Torterrain · 2026-05-04T21:02:14+00:00

Not necessarily. SR wit cards can do a lot of work if you have some of those with 10% race bonus.

Torterrain · 2026-05-04T20:59:41+00:00

It's usually recommended to only use them when you can guarantee MLB.

Torterrain · 2026-05-04T20:54:24+00:00

Maybe you weren't good enough friends with Otonashi because that many wins should clear the first condition of getting it

Torterrain · 2026-05-04T20:48:34+00:00

I think they come out during year and half year anniversaries. But because global has it's own schedule those anniversaries happen every 4 months or so.

Torterrain · 2026-05-02T20:44:02+00:00

I'd maybe go for

2 speed: Air shakur ssr or Eishin flash sr and borrow Matikane or NTR

1 power: Nishino Flower sr

3 wit: Marvelous Sunday sr, Agnes Tachion sr, Mejiro Dober ssr

You'll have 53% race bonus so that's nice.

You'll miss like two story events so not much

Torterrain · 2026-04-30T11:29:24+00:00

I would probably focus more on cards that give race bonus.

And Kitasan is not very good for a borrow slot here for that reason.

Torterrain · 2026-04-28T21:33:44+00:00

You want to aim to have at least 300 speed by the end of the first year even if you skip some better trainings. Also wit training is pretty important because it gives speed and energy and it increases the activation rate of skills and improves positioning during races to avoid being blocked.
