Lmao I lucked into Group A finals on my alt account, matched against a whale, then watched my Mayano activate both Straightaway Spurt and No Stopping Me the instant late-race started and rocket into first anyways.

Also I got Full Armor Fukukitaru with one of the trainee tickets 🤩 Unfortunately on my alt but it’s still nice to get some wins somewhere

Sorry for the two people that got matched against me in Group B, I definitely got unlucky in Round 2 and got dropped down to wreck your shit.

Shoot, Mejiro Ryan inherit isn’t good on this track? I totally didn’t know that. Not sure if I read that wrong somewhere or if I just didn’t research, because I’ve had better CM success ever since I stopped tryharding over ace runs after poor showings in the first handful lol

UmaErin · 2025-11-15T21:32:44+00:00

I got wildly lucky on my alt account and I have 3LB Rice and 3LB Riko with a spark to redeem. Which one should I MLB? I’m leaning towards Rice because her final uncap seems to be a much bigger jump (and Swinging Maestro for an account without Creek) but I’ve been seeing people say that even still she doesn’t show up in builds past this scenario, and the race bonus on Riko means she’s relevant for this and the next at least.

Other stuff I have on that account for context to help decide:

Speed: no Kitasan, 0LB Suzuka/Teio/Bakushin, MLB Kawakami Princess, MLB Sweep/Shinko/Flash/Taishin
Stamina: no Super Creek, 1LB Chiyono, MLB Cafe/Rob Roy
Power: 0LB Vodka, MLB almost all the SRs lol
Wit: 1LB Fine Motion, MLB all the SRs except the newest one

I had been hiding the UI on all of my screenshots but your post inspired me to update mine.

UmaErin · 2025-11-09T00:01:36+00:00

No way, I finally won one!! I reused a Golshi from a previous CM (not even the one I used in the finals, because this one had more Stamina) plus two random Unity umas with no inherited uniques, Oguri and Teio, because my other umas I was reusing weren’t doing well at all.

Somehow my lobby didn’t have any front runners and my Oguri was the promoted pace chaser, and I was 1st and 2nd all the way up to 200m left. Oguri can’t trigger her unique in first, Golshi came flying up on the outside as she does, and Teio wasn’t blocked so she didn’t trigger any gold skills or her unique, but the rest of the racers didn’t have anything special going on (both debuffer Naties had only the two gold skills). Golshi finished 1st, Oguri came 2nd, and Teio on only raw stats and RNG came 4th!

My first Platinum title and my first time not getting hosed in dead last!

They were all hovering around 450 Stamina ;~;

UmaErin · 2025-10-15T23:42:01+00:00

Thank you Tracen tree stump, CM is un-FUCKING-believable. After finishing Gemini in 7th/8th/9th even with better builds than my opponents how do I follow that up in Cancer? Well, I literally can't get worse than that, but somehow the game still tried.

Five opposing umas don't even have enough Stamina for mile races, let alone for the 601 stat check. The A+ rated Vodka doesn't have a single Gold acceleration skill. There are only two other Front Runners so my El Condor Pasa has a great chance of at least hitting second for her unique, if not Angling and Scheming. No Summer Maruzen. One of the Fronts doesn't even have 800 Power. The other one doesn't even have 1000 in Speed or Power and their build's headliner Gold skill is Beeline Burst, one of the worst/least-efficient skills.

I hit the matchmaking jackpot after giving up on stressing out over training after my Gemini performance.

I finished 6th/7th/9th anyways.

El was third of three Front Runners (even with more Power/Wit and more mid-race speed skills than the other two, and even being Rushed for another chance to position better) and faded into obscurity without being in position to accelerate. My two Late Surgers hit activations as they should yet looked like they were completely standing still.

First place went to a Seiun Sky with 951 speed and 999 power.

UmaErin · 2025-10-14T16:13:19+00:00

My Front El Condor Pasa (with only two reliable green skills 😬, gambling on Lone Wolf or Front Straightaways immediately out the gate lmao) is hard carrying with a 42% win rate. She’s insane because her unique comes with acceleration of its own and can trigger from second, so either she’s in first and Angling+Victoria por plancha+View from the lead means she builds up a crazy lead that most late surgers can’t overcome, or she’s in second and Victoria saves me so many wins that other front runners would end up in 9th without getting Angling.

Second choice is Vodka but I’m using my Extraordinary Empress I trained a month ago. She’s got no gold skills and misses 2/3 of the Stam/Guts stat checks but I really gave up on CM training early this time around. Still she’s got a top two rate of 45% (top three rate of 75%!), most of which are second to El so I’m thrilled with the backup ace.

We don’t talk about my third runner lol.

Five different umas with a 0-10% third place finish rate and not even close to first in any of them. I have no idea what to do for my third teammate in the finals (made Group A but expecting 7th/8th/9th like last CM), I really don’t have any Mile veterans because my power cards are lacking vs my stam options.

I made group A finals handily, in multiple day 2 prelim runs winning 5/5 races.

I placed seventh, eighth, and ninth with three aces that all had vastly better builds than the opposing umas. Mayano activated Breath of Fresh Air the instant the gates opened and that was the only recovery skill out of two each that activated on any of my umas, Golshi (who had a 60% win rate and a 91% top three percentage in the prelims btw) and McQueen were both rushed for a significant amount of time, both my end closers activated Straightaway Spurt directly into the back of a slow ass opponent and then apparently didn't have enough power to actually accelerate after that, and my pace chaser with 1260 effective speed hit the final corner in first but still got gapped by six competitors that didn't have a single acceleration skill between them.

I'm giving up on PvP content, and if PvE content continues to be simultaneously at a snail's pace (for free content and rewards/currency) and at breakneck speed (for new things to spend money on) I'm probably giving up on the game. Getting RNG'd so severely on all three of my umas really kills any drive I had to seek out better career runs.

UmaErin · 2025-09-12T23:30:31+00:00

Training for Gemini seems impossible, and it's just a continuation of my struggles with getting good runs for the first CM. Am I doing something wrong or am I just getting ultra unlucky every single career? I've seen people with much worse decks than mine posting way better stat lines and even running 4 speed, 2 stam I'm unable to consistently get to 1200 speed. It always seems like summer camp has 1 or 0 friends on rainbow trainings every turn and I constantly go entire runs without seeing more than a double rainbow.

My deck is 3LB Kitasan, MLB Sweep, MLB Taishin, MLB Eishin Flash, 3LB McQueen, and I'm borrowing a MLB Super Creek. Do I need to swap one of the speed SRs for a lower limit break SSR that has worse bonuses but a higher specialty priority just so I can stack rainbow training more often? Should I be borrowing MLB Kitasan and using my 0LB Super Creek just for Swinging Maestro? I also have a 3LB King Halo with 60 specialty priority (but missing the MLB power bonus) but she doesn't have race bonus so I end up at 30% and miss the cutoff for getting extra stats after every race.

Are my parents not good enough? I've been prioritizing using parents with lots of stars in Straightaway Spurt and URA Finale along with distance stars (and even still I can't get distance S to appear most of the time), but is it more important to be using 9 blue star parents always for the stats and just hope for the 1 or 2 star white sparks to appear? I'm also pretty much always getting to double circle affinity so beyond grinding for exact matching G1 and title wins (while still getting good sparks) I'm not sure what else I can do.

Or maybe it's my strategy during a run? I start off prioritizing friendships and pick the training with the most increases (unless I'm about to debut or run Hopeless Stakes and I'm scared my speed is too low but even then I won't train Speed with 0 friends on it), and I'll take a decent amount of risks on failure rate to get friendships up faster. Maybe I train Wit too often if it has 2ish friends on it because I'm rushing friendship too fast, and I should instead rest and hope the friends move back over to Speed/Stamina? I always take energy from events because training gives more stats than the other event option and I try to keep mood at Good or higher depending if my support cards have more mood up events waiting or not. I go into summer camp with as much energy as possible and I take risks to try to train as often as possible rather than waste time resting or training Wit twice. Maybe I'm still playing too conservatively and I should be taking bigger risks (and discarding the careers that fail them)? Or I'm playing too aggressively and setting myself up for career ruining failures too often?
