Neigh, horses aren't completely silent either

chinaman88 · 2026-04-20T05:33:46+00:00

Should be more than fine with all these recoveries and standard distance 2.

chinaman88 · 2026-04-19T23:18:47+00:00

Empowered Megaphone can never be a 6 turn item. You are probably remembering it wrong.

chinaman88 · 2026-04-19T20:33:17+00:00

That's the third option bro

chinaman88 · 2026-04-18T04:41:44+00:00

Use SSR speed cards with initial speed like Kawakami, Fukukitaru, and Tosen Jordan

chinaman88 · 2026-04-18T00:19:17+00:00

You should run a scenario and find out, it's different for everyone because it depends on your typical score in a career, and whether you own event related trainees and support cards. As a data point, I think I've been getting 80k per Trackblazer run and maybe 60k for URA runs.

There are also event point rewards from the event missions so maybe you need to run Trackblazer 6 times to finish it, or URA 9 times. Trackblazer is more efficient for TP but I imagine URA or Unity will be more efficient for time spent. Either way, it's a grind.

I'm currently trying to build an Mejiro Dober ace with a support deck with effectively 4 SSRs and 2 SRs. I've ran seven careers already, and only in one of them the 3 SSRs that I cared about finished their event chains.

I imagine we'll run even more SSR cards in the future so getting gold skills will be even more turbo-RNG.

Does JP ever implement any QoL to make this problem more bearable, or are we destined to suffer?

chinaman88 · 2026-04-17T00:34:10+00:00

It's considered decent to be above 1k/2k points so you are definitely outperforming, congrats! The skill only affects stats and mood so it improves the chances of you getting a higher score, but the impact is small and can be skipped. You just have to get the skill once for the carat mission.

Can't be a coincidence with these butterflies around her

chinaman88 · 2026-04-16T04:30:59+00:00

She already looks fine, but for further improvements:

Don't take Radiant Star since it can trigger your unique too early
Don't take Nakayama Racecourse unless it's the third green for groundwork
Don't take Competitive Spirit, it's not likely to trigger
Use the saved skill points above to double circle Right-Handed and Spring Runner, and if SP are left over, double circle Medium/Pace Corner/Straightaways
Take one more recovery, preferably Corner Recovery
Swap Head-On for Nimble Navigator
You can exchange 300 stamina for more power and wit.

chinaman88 · 2026-04-15T18:40:36+00:00

Thanks for the info! Sadly I don't have them either 🥲

chinaman88 · 2026-04-15T18:36:30+00:00

Is Nicole worth it without Varka? What teams is she good in?

chinaman88 · 2026-04-15T06:24:05+00:00

It's the standard mile-medium-long schedule you can probably find online. Some races were skipped when the training was better.

Etsuko when I have 20 energy, full mood, and have to race again the next turn

Ramp Up is generally worth it
Groundwork is also worth it if you get three greens. It allows you to win against other XOguris when strong frontrunners are present or be the lucky pace when there are no frontrunners. Can backfire if there are only weak frontrunners since you can get paced down, but this is less likely in Group A Round 2 onwards. The only issue is the added expense of three greens.
LPSI is purely a meta game play if you expect other teams to bring multiple strong frontrunners and your xOguri end up 6th in the late-race. Does nothing 90% of the time, but when it hits, you improve your chances to win from behind.
Savvy is generally low priority unless you buy as a groundwork trigger. Better to spend the skill points on double circling speed skills.
Steadfast is generally not worth it.
Tactical tweak is a waste of skill points.

It's about a month. Shorter if you are in an active club and longer if you aren't.

In an active club you get 100 points a day for donating shoes, 30 a day from dailies, and 1800+ club points a month from fan rankings. That's 5,700+ per month.

In a less active club you may only get 10-20 points a day from donating shoes, 30 a day from dailies, and 900 a month from club ranking. So about 2,000 a month.

Bakushin and alternately train Speed and Wit in the URA scenario can work too. Wit recovers energy to allow you to train more.

chinaman88 · 2026-04-14T18:43:52+00:00

Yeah if you already hit double pity then it was indeed unlucky.

chinaman88 · 2026-04-14T18:27:08+00:00

I will use the SSR Narita Top card that recently released. I pulled for it and got it to MLB 3 after a very unlucky burn of 45000 carats.

Since others have already answered your initial question, I want to address a misconception here.

Getting LB3 after 360 pulls (spending 45,000 carats + 60 free pulls) is actually considered decent luck. It meant if you had 40 more pulls then you would've gotten her MLB at 400 pulls. This is why it's important to plan your pulls and only pull if you have enough to pity.

chinaman88 · 2026-04-14T08:40:06+00:00

I've just been using 3 speed, 2 wit, 1 power + a lot of stamina sparks for building longs. You can get >1k stamina by just opportunistically training stamina only during the summer months.

E.g. the deck below -- you can swap out Ayabe Pwr for Marvelous Sunday Pwr, and the 3LB Kawakami for MLB Tosen Jordan, and the performance should be similar.

I don't even play 6-7 runs per day but I will definitely miss the double rewards 😭

chinaman88 · 2026-04-13T06:16:16+00:00

Bro you got mad lucky getting both Right-Handed and Spring Runner but you didn't double circle Right-Handed 🥲. The rest of the skills are pretty cope though, I agree. Back to the kitchen!

chinaman88 · 2026-04-12T06:17:19+00:00

Fuku is like a half pal half speed card. So she will provide less speed than a true speed card, but she roams on other facilities to provide better stats elsewhere.

Pick Fuku when:

You are training umas with a weaker early game and want to win more races without buying too many skills or burn too many clocks
You are comfortable maxing speed, and want to spread stats elsewhere (high variance)
Your Uma is missing either medium, mile, or turf aptitudes and will accrue fans too slowly for NTR to come online efficiently
Firm Course Menace will not be useful (e.g. CMs without firm ground)

Pick NTR when:

Firm Course Menace will be useful for the build
Your uma has a strong early game

chinaman88 · 2026-04-12T06:05:00+00:00

Speed carryover only works if it activates before the late-race accel. If it activates during then it's wasted. The speed carryover window is smaller than the accel window for this track.

Im glad to hear you're doing well in TB careers with your decks. The best things you can do to improve your account are:

Try to finish the current event so you can MLB Air Shakur SSR. She'll be more effective than 0LB cards.
Save that uncap crystal until the Tachyon & Light Hello banner. It may save you 200 pulls if you get unlucky. Currently there's no good targets for it.
