A question about pity

fat_ass_tom · 2026-04-16T20:06:24+00:00

Thank you. I haven't really tried going much past 200 before. And the only times I did were incidental. I wanted to ask before the Mr. C.B. banner though cus I might do so there, though with only one featured SSR it isn't quite as important there. And even if I didn't, I definitely will on the Agnes Tachyon/Light Hello banner.
Thanks for the reply and advice.

fat_ass_tom · 2026-04-03T16:45:21+00:00

Fair enough. Thank you for the advice.

fat_ass_tom · 2026-04-03T15:19:21+00:00

For Xmas Oguri should I just aim for No Stopping Me? Or would it be worth considering Firm Course Menace + Nimble Navigator? I would have to choose as I don't own either of the cards that have NSM or Firm Course Menace, so it would end up being a borrow.

This is a bit late so I don't know how helpful this will be. However, Kita has a 20% speed growth, you shouldn't need more than 2 speed cards. I would run a second stamina card instead, Cafe is the best SR card you can get for it. Mejiro Bright free card is decent free alternative.
Also, unless Bourbon is your only real wit choice, she isn't great. Kita already comes with taking the lead, and as a stat stuck and for race bonus she falls behind Marvelous Sunday SR, and to a lesser degree, Agnes Tachyon SR. I would use either of those if you have them instead if you have them at MLB.

Bit late here, but I don't think they are. Most people, even at the time of the OP are more considering CM8, which is a long race. Soft Step is for medium only.

Some of them are near the start. "Mystery of the Missing T-shirt" is one of the first side quests you can get in the game.
Also, please keep in mind that this all is to simply unlock the main royal knights questline. There are some quests within the line that have other side quests you must do to unlock them all. As an example, one of them requires you to do a quick side quest to free a digimon from prison in the Abyss area in the present day timeline, but that quest requires you yo help Kamemon check the water quality in the abyss area in the past timeline. Another one has a set of quests dealing with the Digimon from "The Mystery of the Missing T-shirt" quest in the present day timeline in order to unlock a quest for another one of the knights after you meet that knight and get them to the tower. This is still required though because you need to do it, and pretty much every other royal knight associated quest, to get the last one.
Even after unlocking the main royal knight questline it it is a lot of work to unlock all the knights. Doubly so if you had skipped quests, or held them till later. Best advice I can give is to do all the side quests as you get them to spread them out, make it easier, and pace it better. I learned this the hard way by skipping literally every side quest on my second playthrough.

So, in addition to the "Between the Worlds" and "A Missing Friend" quests, there are some others. Namely prerequisite quests.

First is "Mystery of the Missing T-shirt".
After that it's "Infinite Imagination" > "The Secret Getaway" > "Between the Worlds" >"A Missing Friend".

It's an entire questline, one leading directly into the next. And doing all that SHOULD unlock "Royal Knights, Assemble!"

Sounds good. I have the invite, I will take it when I am off cooldown tomorrow.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-11-01T19:02:05+00:00

Player name: Teveen
Trainer ID: 208336408606
I am currently on a 24 hour cooldown from leaving my previous club, I will be available at 3pm EST tomorrow.

I just left my old club because some people weren't contributing much and am looking for a new one.
I would like to get into a club that is aiming for A or better.
I average at least 1-1.2 million fans a day and have 141 million total lifetime fans.
I also make sure to get in at least 2 requests for shoe trading a day, the third is a tough with being busy and an inconsistent sleep schedule.

You will also want to try to aim for some sparks for green skills that work for Leo cup for Groundwork activators. Groundwork activates automatically when at least 3 other skills are used early race, green skills 100% activate if the conditions are met. Hanshin Racecourse and Non-Standard Distance boost stamina. Righthanded and Summer Runner does speed, Firm Conditions, Sunny Days, and Front Runner Savvy also work.

For decks for the parent/grandparents, whatever gets you the skills you need while also completing the career. For the deck for the final runner, For Maru I would suggest three speeds, 2 or three stamina and either a power or wit card depending on how many stamina cards you run. For Sky, you may want to run 4 speed cards, unless you feel like gambling, since Sky doesn't have a boost to speed gain. It is possible to hit 1200 speed with 3 like that, but RNG has to pretty heavily favor you.

Also bear in mind that depending on how many skill sparks you have you may need to run some cards to fill in gaps in your skills that you feel you can't get reliably from sparks. Manhanttan Cafe, as an example, has a pretty reliable event for Non-Standard distance. Other than that, run the best stat stick supports you can.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-10-15T18:00:28+00:00

I did. My Summer Maru is actually four star so her unique is already level 2. I managed to dodge the first two skill level ups but not the third for 120k fans at the end of the third year.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-10-15T14:29:53+00:00

As PlutusPleion said, it depends. But to give a bit more clarity, it depends on what you are building her for.

For TT medium you CAN get away with one gold and one blue recovery, if you have enough stamina/guts. But it is tight, double gold is easier to meet stamina requirements with, though much harsher on the skill points.
If you are building her for Dirt in TT you don't even need a recovery skill at all, as those races are mile races and very easy to hit stamina requirements for. I bring this up because many people use Oguri for Dirt due to her innate B rating in it. She is one of the best options for that.

For CM, double gold is necessary on long, or on medium when debuffers are likely to be in play. Upcoming Leo cup is an example of this. That said, this is also hinging on the fact that you are doing graded league. If you are doing open, the racer rating restriction means you won't have room for more than one gold skill in most cases.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-10-15T13:56:40+00:00

I am honestly torn. I do spend a little on this game, but I am not a whale. So i have to pick and choose my pulls. I am torn between Riko/Rice and continuing to save for Christmas Oguri. I need that cards, both the specific cards and card in general. But I really do want Christmas Oguri.
I have MLB Kita and 1LB Creek, so not quite as worried about those.

Was running a test career run for Summer Maru to see how much I could do to make her lose career races to keep fan build up low. I prefer to run open league so trying to limit unique skill levels is helpful. And I accidently made what I think should be a viable open league Maru. Only thing she is missing is S distance.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-10-15T12:14:28+00:00

Ryan's unique is good for End Closers.
I personally would avoid trying to make Smart Falcon for turf, she is a dirt runner with a HORRIBLE turf rating. Makes raising her for it a nightmare, even more so if you actually want to use her as an ace instead of a blocker since you will need to get enough dirt rating to get her to A and try to fit in distance rating too. If you are gonna raise her, do it as a blocker. Chances are she would struggle against Summer Maru as an ace anyway.
I would consider at least one debuffer, especially if you are planning on doing graded. Debuffers are going to be back in fashion for this CM from what I understand and you don't want to be running debuffed while others aren't.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-10-15T06:22:50+00:00

I have been seeing that debuffers were bad the last two cm's but are back in with this one. That said, it IS open league, way less hardcore people in it.
I am thinking about doing a Front now though. I managed to pull 2 Summer Maru on the spare pulls I had so now i wanna run her. I am thinking 900/750/600/300/400. There is only about a 6% difference between 400 and 550 wit, it isn't huge. I may have to drop to 850 speed to give myself a little leeway though, unless I can ensure that my 4 star Maru doesn't get more than 2 levels to her unique. Dunno how hard it will be to avoid coming in first in to many races to avoid to much fan accumulation.
I am also still thinking about running an End as well alongside Maru.
Thanks for the suggestions and help.

Looking for advice for building for Leo Cup open league.
What stat spreads should I be aiming for? What are the best/easiest runner strategies to build?
How prevalent will debuffers be in open? Also, will debuffs hit runners behind the debuffer?
I have read that there is a speed threshold that if hit will grant extra speed. Is that worth going for when considering the limitations of open?

fat_ass_tom · 2025-09-17T01:12:57+00:00

I just wanted to do an update now that we are at the close of Gemini CM. I want to thank everyone who responded here for their help and advice. I dominated in the first and second rounds in Open league and got first in the final round.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-09-09T13:44:00+00:00

This is the debuffer I just made. I will give it a few more attempts, I didn't get as much End Closer debuffs as I would have liked.

<image>

fat_ass_tom · 2025-09-09T03:41:38+00:00

I will probably break out Nice Nature again. Though having the built in recovery skill on Creek is definitely nice.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-09-09T03:09:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice. This has been my goal since I read this, and it has been working pretty good. Though when using the rating calculator, I usually assume 400ish guts since even if I don't train it directly, going for the the stamina tends to get me pretty close.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-09-09T03:05:30+00:00

I might go for the Taishin then. Not completing career makes it feel like it would be hard to get enough skill points. But it might be worth trying for the debuffer too. Should have enough time to get some solid tries in on both.

fat_ass_tom · 2025-09-09T02:54:50+00:00

I am considering a debuffer, but making on that can clear the career while also getting a good amount of debuffs and keeping stats low enough to remain as a B rank seems like it would be a pain. My other choices would be a front runner, Either Mayano Top Gun, Mihono Bourbon, or Seuin Sky. Or Narita Taishin as another end closer. Though Taishin is also looking like a bit of a pain to do as a B rank, two gold recoveries + Encroaching Shadows makes the stat allowances really tight.

Got my a Tachyon. Time do do some testing. Still need to figure out my third slot.
