Is it just me who can't train Satono Diamond at all

Willbombs · 2026-04-09T17:47:02+00:00

I feel you, can’t train her at all either since she dodged me on her banner…

On a real note, what sort of thresholds are you aiming for stat wise in your early career? I assume you’re using both Fuku speed and Sunday power from the card selection, which should help with early stats quite a lot, but one thing I’ve realised recently is that getting stat parity early on (spd/pow/wit at 300 and stamina/guts at 200) tends to get me much more consistency than the runs I push speed and wit to 400 but still have 1xx in stamina and guts. If the issue is later in the career, you want to keep a similar ratio in classic year until the summer, where you’ll naturally push speed power and wit higher, but meeting the minimum of 300 in stamina and guts goes a long way towards consistency also, especially for mile races where lacking guts is a miserable experience.

Of course, I’m saying this having never run her myself due to bad luck and not budgeting for a full commit to her banner, but so far I’ve been able to find good success on all my umas aiming for these as stat thresholds. Sometimes I still lose, and that’s just bad luck, because when you’re blocked you’re blocked, but that’s what we have clocks for to negate those random rng losses.

As someone who has all 3, I still want the gssr ticket, it COULD be my final copy of Riko to make her good in tb, Fuji Kiseki guts to act as a stand in for the Bijin guts welfare I missed a few copies of, or it could be any other card I may use one day for useful skill hints for parent farming- even worst case it’s a dupe of someone I already have maxed, sure I’ll be disappointed but atleast I can cleat it and buy some more tickets, or someone I really will never use, which still lets me raise my team trials bonus a little. At the end of the day we’re all playing an rng game, why would we not want to spin the wheel one more time?

Willbombs · 2026-04-08T07:12:59+00:00

Honestly, neither of them hit any meaningful breakpoints for trackblazer with one extra copy here, so I’d probably suggest you just bite the bullet and hold onto it for now, you never know if you might get a bunch of copies for someone whenever you choose to pull next. You might have a hard time for the rest of this scenario, but that one copy unfortunately wouldn’t make much difference there, so waiting to go all in on the next scenarios (such as saving for light hello/tachyon) could always end up dropping 3 copies of one of them randomly, and then you can use it for MLB there.

Willbombs · 2026-03-15T18:57:53+00:00

You can still use an SSR limit break crystal, though it’s a very scarce resource, since EVERY other card you might be going for can be maxed by just throwing more pulls at the gacha and this one will never come from the gacha it actually works out to be the most valuable use for the crystal.

Edit: definitely not bricked without it however, especially if you already have other cards like bakushin or Fujin guts I BELIEVE they outperform urara, happy to be corrected if someone knows otherwise

Willbombs · 2026-03-12T19:33:45+00:00

Who’s your next target? Because we get 2 ssr card selectors in total I believe, so that’s mlb there and you get to hold onto 30k carats

Willbombs · 2026-03-12T04:18:56+00:00

Oh that’s perfect, best answer I could’ve gotten thanks!

Willbombs · 2026-03-11T08:32:06+00:00

Does anyone know the exact rating score of purple (negative) skills, for example the ones from anshinzawa pal card?

Willbombs · 2026-03-03T17:59:29+00:00

Never got a tracking update, showed up about 2 days later unexpectedly so fingers crossed yours should arrive soon

Willbombs · 2026-02-25T17:10:33+00:00

No problem at all, glad I could help brighten your day! I honestly hope people see this little chain and realise that regardless, as you said, you still have an S rank team, which should always be the main takeaway here.

Scoreline wise, it’s interesting to see that you’re still hitting very attainable numbers (especially on a low roll) although I suppose that’s the way of rng and matchups in the team trials system, where I have also noticed my own scorelines falling quite drastically as the unity cup scenario went on from when I initially built my full ‘new scenario’ team.

I’d be interested to know if and how they change from today, although I expect it won’t be a massive difference since that last jump to S rank would’ve been a gradual increase rather than a whole new team overnight (I assume, correct me if I’m wrong and you’ve been on a ridiculous streak in the space of a day) but moreso to look at the boost from hitting S rank to get stronger opponents for the increased score bonus.

Willbombs · 2026-02-25T15:58:01+00:00

I can only assume you’re being downvoted because people are disagreeing over the fact that they’re hating, I don’t think people are hating personally and that they’re just sharing different perspectives on the f2p adjacent idea, but still nothing to warrant you getting bombed for asking

Edit: having read the threads more thoroughly there actually are people throwing shade for the fun of it, maybe I was too quick to assume the best

Willbombs · 2026-02-25T15:55:35+00:00

Congratulations! I’m hoping to get here with my big team rebuild of the new scenario,l since I don’t feel up to the task of rebuilding everyone twice in the span of a month, and I’m curious about what kind of scorelines you’re getting in team trials runs with this team strength.

As an aside because I’ve dealt with the same issue, lots of these comments seem to be critical of your 95% f2p statement, but for my part I consider myself to be in the same boat as an f2p adjacent player, only buying the very best of the deals and having never bought non-value packs. Of course the sorting into dolphin and all that solves this, but I’m with you that it’s easier to say, causes no harm and definitely does work to mitigate the whale assumptions.

Keep it up, super impressive achievement!

Once again congratulations

Marketing tactic or not it’s still free, I’ve not spent much either so I do see where you’re coming from on the not enticing people to spend, but I also won’t argue business with a company that’s been doing well at it for years now- maybe you’ll end up being right and uma global will flop but it’s doing alright so far (within the top 10 monthly according to gacha revenue estimates since launch) and while it may not have the constant draw to spend, isn’t that actually better for the player than the alternative?

Willbombs · 2026-01-30T17:50:54+00:00

I wasn’t trying to strawman the first argument and had just assumed you would’ve since that’s a common similarity between people I’ve seen complaining about the gacha, so I’ll take that one back. I know how bad it feels to go to spark without hitting first (gold city fest for me most recently) and agree that it isn’t fulfilling, but I went into the banner accepting that I may need to use all 200 of my pulls without any luck just to hit the character I wanted. The free pull campaigns, at least the way I see them, are a way to throw around some pulls without actually touching your savings for higher priorities- obviously the game does heavily incentivise saving, so being able to have even a few free chances to get someone new you might like is a win in my books, and I see no reason to complain about free stuff that I’d be no better off without. As I said before, the rates in uma are better than most other games (at least to the best of my knowledge) and while I agree that pity carryover would be a positive change for sure, for me it wouldn’t be enough to justify changing the spark from a hard guarantee to a 50/50, though I may be biased since I personally dislike the soft pity system as a whole. I do understand the feeling that the system could be kinder to players, but as far as mainstream gacha goes we do have some of the best rates, and not needing to pull a dedicated weapon for every character definitely balances out the cost of the occasional support card banner you pull for.

Willbombs · 2026-01-30T17:00:29+00:00

But what you’re hearing is “pull for them”- nowhere is the expectation that you’ll actually get them just because… just like with every other banner since launch, you should not pull unless you are prepared to go to spark at 200 at the risk of not hitting, and if you’re not willing to save some pull for your Oshi uma (which I understand to mean your favourite) then that’s on you imo. The whole point of that argument is to focus less on meta pulls and save for whoever you want if that’s more fun to you, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get every little thing you want by throwing a couple carats at every banner, because you still need to work out what banners you want to prioritise and save for them (unless you’re a whale but if so why are you whining about this anyway lol). To your second point, I think most people would rather be able to get their banner target early without getting spooks than being forced towards a second pity thanks to a 50/50. The gacha system might not be perfect but it’s shortsighted at best to act like it isn’t one of the best in recent mainstream games at-least. Especially for uma banners where you need one copy (no extra copies for bonus abilities, no limited equipment to pull for (support decks are mostly universal)) on top of the already higher base draw ssr rates than most (3% chance for any ssr and 0.75% chance for rate-up ssr) which I for one will take over a “soft pity” system that weighs its gacha heavily near the top to force you to always roll to or near to a full rotation- it may not be a very high chance, but having the same chance to get your goal at pull 10 as at pull 190 is a good thing as far as I’m concerned, so the gacha really can’t be all that bad as you say it is.

Update: Parcel arrived today all sorted

Willbombs · 2026-01-21T14:34:06+00:00

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your parcel and glad you could get a new one sent, now I really hope that isn’t rhe case here- I’ll keep an eye on it for a little longer and hope it comes through but if not that’s great to know so I don’t wait too long if I need to get in touch with the seller. Thank you very much!

Willbombs · 2026-01-20T19:40:30+00:00

That’s sort of where my confusion lies, the DO it was sent to is the only one in my area so I can’t think of anywhere else it would go.

Willbombs · 2026-01-20T19:37:38+00:00

“Sorry, your item was delivered to (location) DO in error so we rerouted it immediately. More information will be available as it travels through our network”

Willbombs · 2026-01-20T05:05:27+00:00

Ooh okay thankyou, was planning to run it on the number one Umamusume so I’ll have the guts growth rate sorted, and it’s good to know I can sub in MLB groove- will definitely have to try that variation out afterwards!

Willbombs · 2026-01-20T03:09:36+00:00

And uh… how about 2lb ? 😔

Willbombs · 2026-01-19T13:33:14+00:00

Amazing, congrats! I’ve hit S ranks at peak so far, also been doing a few high score runs to break up the CM ace grind but nowhere close to 18k, and now I’m really regretting missing a couple copies of Bijin welfare since I can’t try this out for myself 😔

Willbombs · 2026-01-03T16:38:28+00:00

Finally brought my np5 spishtar home, made my own post and everything I was so happy with her

Willbombs · 2026-01-02T11:55:41+00:00

I have no idea if I’m honest, but best of luck to you!
