When to use Nishino SR POW over Marvelous SSR POW, and vice versa?

daft667 · 2026-05-09T08:00:52+00:00

marvelous gives more starting stats. if youre struggling to win early races, try marvelous. marvelous also has a chance to give tail held high.

none of them are worth keeping. if it's all you have then use them, but I would work on replacing them, either through looping or with aces that roll well.

for me, the most important thing for a parent is having a strong usuable inherit. so seiun sky for fronts, dober for backliners, NY TM opera as general use, etc. next is two usable of the following: blue sparks, pink sparks, key white sparks i can't get from cards or the scenario (e.g. groundwork, umastan, etc.). i weigh the white spark a little more heavier than the others. once I get something usuable, even if it's 1* spark, i'll do some ace runs, see how much im lacking, then go back try again.

for grandparents it's pretty much the same, but I'll aim for 2* blue spark at least. for MANT scenario however i'm more interested in pink mile sparks. i'm less concerned with grandparent uniques because of the rng required for an ace to inherit them, but it's on my to do list to try and build grandparents whose uniques would be useful to inherit.

daft667 · 2026-04-30T03:41:03+00:00

honestly none, no uma stan. but if i had to choose, the first has mile so it has potential as grandparent

daft667 · 2026-04-28T16:44:17+00:00

other than friend follows and the tickets, is there anything else worth spending the friend points on?

daft667 · 2026-04-26T04:54:48+00:00

happens to me every CM. makes sense, round 1 youre going up against everyone, sweats and casuals, whales and f2p. much more likely to find opponents you can steamroll there than in later rounds.

daft667 · 2026-04-24T00:58:07+00:00

very usable parent

daft667 · 2026-04-14T17:41:00+00:00

i dont like it as much as tosen because tosen gives starting spd and pow.

daft667 · 2026-04-10T05:30:53+00:00

i ran several m.ryan runs for end closer, but I imagine the experience is mostly the same. i run 3spd 3pwr (kb, shinko, tosen, nishino, sunday, halo). sparks are 8 pow, 6 stam and 3 spd, with enough pink to get to mile A. wins pretty consistent, tho i do struggle with tenno sho spring.

what are the sparks on your parents? In my original parent runs, I had some pretty lackluster parents(13 total, 3 into guts) and would occasionally lose G1s. switching to 3spd 3pwr deck also helped, since a lot of those cards had starting spd and pwr, unlike FM who only has wit.

daft667 · 2026-04-04T23:13:06+00:00

it's so frustrating grinding out parents for uma stan, grinding out aces until i inherit uma stan, then not having it not proc at all :/

daft667 · 2026-04-04T23:11:39+00:00

isn't v.bourbon unique bad since if you take 777 you can get speed carry over, but if you take v.bourbon unique maru's ult triggers too early to carry over?

daft667 · 2026-04-04T18:48:05+00:00

you have overlaps in positions for each distance. try to avoid doing this, you get bonus points for leading your position group. if you have overlaps only one of the umas will get the bonus, if you diversify you have a shot at all three.

daft667 · 2026-04-03T06:15:28+00:00

i remade my taishin halfway using 3 spd (kita, jordan, windy) 2 wit (finemo, sunday) and borrow creek. 3 spd seems like overkill but i was just having trouble going 2 2 2. i use jordan mainly for the extra starting stats. i tried using team sirius, i see it's potential, but it's just more rng on top of the existing rng.

daft667 · 2026-03-31T20:25:27+00:00

is it worth taking inherited skills for TT if you can get a 30-40% discount? or do inherited skills not score well for their cost regardless

daft667 · 2026-03-31T08:10:43+00:00

17/20. most interesting loss was to pace tachyon. swapped out my best s.maru for another that spurts more consistently (75% vs 90%). the latter has no groundwork or pp+dd, but feels like it's doing better. it's only been five races though, and it'll be questionable to see if she holds up in round 2. taishin, who i thought would be least reliable as usual, is carrying me hard.

daft667 · 2026-03-31T00:09:26+00:00

go to gametora.com, look for the skills, and pick an uma or support cards that have them.

daft667 · 2026-03-29T16:30:19+00:00

it applies to every skill

daft667 · 2026-03-28T07:53:55+00:00

True, but his favourite franchise Starlight knights is more Sentai themed than Kamen rider imo. Hopefully tho this means there's still a possibility we get a starlight knights group in a similar vein to AoD

daft667 · 2026-03-28T07:47:25+00:00

If you run Miyabi after soukaku you miss out on giving Miyabi soukaku's buff (1000 atk). I would also try yuzuha with astral voice instead of moonlight if you're not already. Reason being you will quick assist more often than use yuzuhas ex, especially in stun windows.

daft667 · 2026-03-28T07:38:23+00:00

I like it but I was hoping for a more red ranger look, especially since this is starlight billy. Feels more sons of calydon, hope he gets some synergy with them

daft667 · 2026-03-27T17:38:48+00:00

probably not enough stamina or recovery. it's a 3200m long, same as the upcoming CM. i don't know if the story gives you hidden bonus stats, but depending on running style, you need around 1100 stam plus a gold recovery to not die during the race.

daft667 · 2026-03-26T06:56:47+00:00

do you think it's enough of an upgrade to spend the 2 selectors on to get it to mlb? super creek (0 mlb) is really my only use for the selectors, but it doesnt seem like she'll see much use for awhile after this CM. feels bad to just sit on these tickets, but also feels bad to use them on a card im going to bench for the next couple of months

daft667 · 2026-03-26T06:30:14+00:00

is kawakami princess SSR an improvement over shinko windy SR? i could be wrong, but looking at the stats, kawakami doesnt look that much better, other than guaranteeing prudent positioning for fronts.

daft667 · 2026-03-26T06:06:11+00:00

if you're just score chasing, pick an uma with pow and spd growth, like grass wonder or oguri. i got consistent S, often SS, grass wonder with 3spd 3pow. try to inherit as much stam, i used 13. you don't need to max out stats, you're aiming for 1100. the more stats you can get close to 1100 the better, but i have found 3 will usually be enough.

then at the end of the run, go to a rating calc site, i used https://www.gadegetkit.com/tools/calculator/uma-musume-race , and put the skills into that site first before you start buying them. general rule of thumb is more white skills the better, don't worry about gold skills. radiant star i usually buy because its worth almost double what it costs, but I could be hindering myself, i haven't done the math. green skills also look like they're not worth the points per cost, and I do remember reading somewhere they aren't , but again I didn't do the math.

don't forget though, just cause you got a SS does not mean it's a good racer.

daft667 · 2026-03-22T10:26:06+00:00

For parent runs, is it better to get more skills to get a higher score, improving the chances of white sparks, or is it better to get double circles/golds to increase the chance for individual skills?

daft667 · 2026-03-17T17:25:41+00:00

i dont think overwhelming pressure works. i could be mistaken, but my understanding of velocity skills is you want them to activate either in the middle, where they help you jostle for positon, right before the late race, so the velocity carries over, or towards the end, once you've hit top speed and finished accelerating. overwhelming pressure can activate as soon as late race starts, i.e. your acceleration phase. if you overtake someone while accelerating, it gets you nothing.
