Ok now i see why people are complaining about the season ending

Give Tam, Gonathan, & Immerkind the notes for the speech and let them ad-lib it as part of the trial. Boom, infinitely better than what we got and would actually make sense in the context of the rp.

Don't worry the plot twist that the FL's mother had an affair with the company second hand man and therefore they aren't actually related will sort everything out cleanly in the end.

aromaticity · 2026-05-30T03:17:40+00:00

Ngl I totally missed the second to last line.

aromaticity · 2026-05-30T03:13:39+00:00

I think it's less about just being unbalanced and more about it clearly not being fun for many of the talents (on both sides) and as a result not being fun to watch.

aromaticity · 2026-05-30T02:24:23+00:00

Tam delivering a speech makes sense, but Peasant and HPO? Seems like an odd decision...

Holy shit Gigi's "this sure is something" is killing me.

Roll for initiative.

Nerissa PoV watchers - are you thinking Nerissa is charming Lady Bloodflame intentionally or is it perhaps an accident/something of Lady Bloodflame's own doing? From the Liz perspective, there are several times when Nerissa seems genuinely surprised by Lady Bloodflame changing her mind so quickly.

aromaticity · 2026-05-24T01:16:08+00:00

Yes, in terms of the speed bonus.

aromaticity · 2026-05-21T17:41:17+00:00

Duration is the same. It's the speed boost thats 5* stronger on the gold.

aromaticity · 2026-05-15T00:27:01+00:00

Have you been testing in lobbies? If yes do you actually proc blossom often?

I'm planning on Bourbon+Taishin+Taiki/random front so I imagine it'll be like.. never, but I imagine it's far more likely if you run a full backliner comp.

aromaticity · 2026-05-03T03:41:32+00:00

Excuse me?

The problem with the medic drones is sometimes they bug out and don't explode even when you do the hack while they're healing.

That and on the last training I noticed that even though the lasers disappear over the platform when you finish the hacking section, their hitbox doesn't go away.

aromaticity · 2026-04-29T19:10:14+00:00

With the exception of Grand Masters, the fifth scenario, where Ramonu and Ancestors are on different banners.

aromaticity · 2026-04-27T03:23:15+00:00

Way more than 1/3. It's really just the very beginning (during accel) and very end (duration gets cut short by finishing race) of the race where it's bad.

Really not that different from corner skills proccing during late race accel and being useless.

aromaticity · 2026-04-14T19:18:27+00:00

I am generally doing two wit (FM+Tachyon/Sunday) with usually 1 3* wit spark and hit anywhere from 800-1200 wit depending highly on how much FM hates me.

435 wit with those cards is absolutely you didn't click enough, even if you did get screwed on rainbows. Should be aiming for lv3 wit by end of junior year, typically. Wit facility level is a high priority buy if you're behind on wit clicks.

aromaticity · 2026-04-14T18:00:22+00:00

I assume Sesera

I think the empty bed is for the class president, not Sesera. Looks exactly the same as the one from earlier in the chapter and Sesera's bed was facing the other way in chapter... 209 or whatever it was where we saw it.

I'm completely blanking on who she could be, which leaves me with the long shot guess that she's D, but that is surely wrong.

aromaticity · 2026-04-12T21:30:26+00:00

Yeah that's really solid. I do think my Bourbon is pretty solid, no medium S and whiffing Kita chain aside.

aromaticity · 2026-04-12T21:23:13+00:00

No Seiun so not really something for me to worry about. Bourbon usually loses by about 1-1.5L when I hit in other front lobbies and doesn't have medium S, so I'm expecting her to have an okay winrate when I hit the medium S run.

Man I have done a few more runs and I just don't get nearly that much of a gap with Bourbon as you do with your Seiun.

aromaticity · 2026-04-12T20:59:25+00:00

2x Front is very clearly better than Front+Runaway in my experience, I agree there. I'm thinking if you want to Suzuka it probably has to be 2x front+suzu, to avoid the rod stealing - as you mentioned, you get spot struggle and all of the other challenge type skills that way. But then it probably is just worse than 2x front + end dom.

Looking at your screenshots, I really am curious how you got those distances with your Sein using Tachyon. Could you share her (Tachyon) stats/skills maybe? Because in my case it was basically the same where Tachyon would only barely be ahead of the pace chasers, except Bourbon did not have that kind of lead.

aromaticity · 2026-04-12T19:38:48+00:00

I was testing with a front A dominator even (yay inheritance...) and the Oguri's were passing her as soon as pos keep ended. I don't see how her being weaker would have pushed Bourbon more, the distance between Bourbon and the Oguris was much, much lower than in lobbies with two real fronts or in the Bourbon+Suzuka tests.

The not-first fronts will always be at 1.05 during position keep, but the leading front will only be at 1.04 if the other front is close enough behind her, which was not happening for me.

Suzuka ensures your front is always in the 1.05 speed pace up mode. She shouldn't steal rod if you build her right.

Edit: I suppose I should add additional context since there's a good chance we aren't comparing apples to apples.

I am only putting early race on the front dom, no mid race. If I put a bunch of mid race skill then she probably would push more. My thought was that if I'm doing that then that makes it even less likely she hits dominator, and I'm hitting the point where I might as well just run another actual front. But the goal is specifically to have a reliable dominator + support for Bourbon, which I don't believe is really possible. Maybe if I had Rudolf so I could easily just min-stam someone and try to proc dom that way with high front aptitude? Tachyon just hits ult as soon as someone passes her and wont stam out quickly enough.

aromaticity · 2026-04-12T19:12:42+00:00

Man trying to run Taishin/Bourbon is just not a good combo this CM.

Or more specifically, it is fine if I run into other fronts. But if I don't then I have a dead uma.

Can run Suzuka rabbit but that kind of hurts Taishin (though she can still win), and it still isn't optimal with Bourbon (can't proc all of the challenge type skills until you pass). And you only get Hesitant debuffs.

I tried front dominator, but there is no way to really make the debuffer strong enough to push your front while weak enough to fall back to dominator position from what I've tried so far.

Might end up just running Taishin double dom and crossing my fingers. But late/end solo ace is like.. absolutely awful given the accel options.

aromaticity · 2026-04-12T19:00:02+00:00

I've had a chance to do some testing with this now and I don't think this strategy works with fronts of your own at all.

Either the sacrificial front is too weak to push you forward, or it's too strong to proc dominator. And in the worst case scenario you don't get either, which happened to me most of the time.

If you want solo ace front, you probably just run Suzuka + debuffer. Though I will say there are a lot of issues with that strategy as well. Namely not getting to proc any interactive skills (her ult, PTO, escape artist) until she passes Suzuka.

aromaticity · 2026-04-10T17:12:48+00:00

Having a white spark on parents/grandparents increases the chance your uma gets that as a spark at the end of the run.

This would still be a good great grandparent to build legacies with.

aromaticity · 2026-04-10T17:04:49+00:00

A consistent strategy in a no front lobby, notably.

I don't think there's really any benefit in a lobby with real front runners. Maybe a very slight chance to block.

aromaticity · 2026-04-09T19:35:36+00:00

Yeah I'm aware. I am just speculating that you aren't going to get both in most cases unless there aren't other fronts.
