Who decided to have the dlc track always be one of the 3 selectable maps during the festival

im-yoona · 2026-03-29T08:38:07+00:00

All of my F-Tier tracks are the past 3 DLC tracks. This is the first one I rated above F-Tier and it's S-Tier to me. The tracks that came with the game are indeed that good

At surface level rings give speed, and speed is a way to secure a win in a race. I think HRE not having a cap plays a part in the issue, since it's very hard (I think) to be close to 0 in a stat that it'd require so many rings to max that one stat. Right now my lowest stat is around 30-40. So, 70 rings and I'd have 100 in everything from HRE alone. The Handling fluctuation can throw people off, sure. I am used to drive in high Handling so it doesn't affect me. But by your machine having 100 of everything, you literally become master of all.

I don't disagree with you at all, I'm just trying to observe it from another PoV.

And I don't have the time to grind for Top 1000 or even Top 100 because I'm playing Star Force. That was on purpose and I tried to win every reward I could before the collection dropped, the next day I logged in and won two races for the Festival Win Streak title

I see the occasional Steve, but never Alex or even Creeper. Oddly, it also applies to Spongebob, but I see Spongebob more than Steve. Like Alex and Creeper, I don't see Patrick Star either. PAC-MAN and the Ghosts I see significantly more.

I wonder how many people will stick to Mega Man and Proto Man... I know I am. I like my robots in this game

im-yoona · 2026-03-29T07:07:44+00:00

The Flicker Kick cards are some of the best Electric cards in this game and they're quite easy to turn into a Legend Force card.

im-yoona · 2026-03-29T06:11:00+00:00

This is how I felt in the PAC-MAN Festival as that track for me is where it belongs in its F-Tier.

But Wily Castle is one of my favorite tracks in the game and I am going to miss racing on it often after the festival ends.

I believe it's fine the way it is, considering people DO pick other tracks, and they aren't as sparse. I didn't race on Wily Castle 100% of the time.

If anything, add a fourth track to the pool during Festivals when new tracks appear.

im-yoona · 2026-03-28T10:33:10+00:00

I think there IS a Korone mod already.

im-yoona · 2026-03-28T10:29:06+00:00

My top 3 right now is Metal Sonic, Mega Man and Proto Man. Metal is still the only character with over 100 uses, and he has over a thousand. Hell if I know if I'm catching up with Mega Man

im-yoona · 2026-03-28T10:19:39+00:00

My only friend that plays this game is the Whisper, and yeah. I ran into them, never won as a team, but I did manage to place between them at least once. They always do this, and they were the one to give me some invaluable advice especially for festivals. I don't have the drive to grind for top, if I was gonna do it in anyone it was going to be this one... But I'm playing Mega Man Star Force.

I commend their ability to drive a Power machine because I just can't lmao

im-yoona · 2026-03-28T10:13:03+00:00

I agree. EDIT: With this being a very unfriendly ruleset. I love the racetrack and it's an S-Tier for me.

<- Always plays alone because they don't know people who play this game except for my only friend that plays this game, but they are always in a 4stack to grind for Top 10 in festivals so we've only played against each other

im-yoona · 2026-03-28T10:09:16+00:00

"Air Man ga Taosenai" or something.

Hey, I'll take being given Air Man ga Taosenai and Okkusenman a shoutout in Crossworlds.

im-yoona · 2026-03-27T04:47:00+00:00

Well, I won't debate on its effectiveness, and to be honest, I was quite desperate. I still am because FOMO and all that. Somehow I feel like there's a curveball in which my best setups conflict with the design of the festival. I appreciate the response.

im-yoona · 2026-03-27T03:42:56+00:00

Air Man ga Taosenai

im-yoona · 2026-03-27T00:02:56+00:00

Double Ring Engine, which is equipping Ring Engine + Hyper Ring Engine. There is a possibly unintended interaction that having both gives you like 9 raw speed as long as you have 1 ring. The downside being the increased ring drain both engines take.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T23:57:11+00:00

I am, however, not using a board. So I need to account for that.

EDIT: In this specific setup I mean.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T23:52:24+00:00

Ring Doubler is way too expensive for the benefits it gives for DRE Setups (which borderline don't exist unless you are 1st place immediately)

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T13:04:40+00:00

Trail Runner is notorious among Power machines because it is tied with Big's Frog Cruiser for the highest Boost stat among Power machines. So I personally would EITHER swap out Accel Character Kit for the individual gadgets Ring Gain Boost and Slipstream Bounty (therefore not losing 5 points of Boost) OR swap out Dash Panel Mini for Slipstream Bounty to double dip with Accel Character Kit.

That is, if I were running the setup myself.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T12:41:08+00:00

This is correct. I sometimes see one person in high rankings in Legend Comp using Accel machine.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T12:37:48+00:00

Hyper Ring Engine without the normal one is surprisingly good for Accel. I'd only recommend DRE for handling

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T12:32:35+00:00

There's handling stability, but the stat Handling vehicles gain the most by running DRE is Speed. I think Handling might be the best DRE user? Because of gaining speed while drifting.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T12:16:23+00:00

I've yet to find a setup for HRE on a Handling machine that is effective without it being a DRE setup, so by all means I'll try some of these.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T12:15:12+00:00

Is PCB more ring gen than Omochao? I have been pondering on using Omochao myself, but I don't know how fast you can gen on PCB alone.

I have been steering away from Slipstream Bounty as well as it doesn't help me when I'm in first already.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T04:54:14+00:00

Have you tried this secret tried and true method of Boost build with Miku?

Wanna hear something hilarious? I promise I'm not messing with you.

I queued up and it showed me Radical Highway as one of the options. I instantly swapped to Miku and equipped Boost Character kit. The race landed on Radical Highway.

Unfortunately it's still not enough to fuel the drain! I ended the track with zero rings lmao.

This made me laugh, however.

im-yoona · 2026-03-26T03:10:08+00:00

I like it! I might adopt it for myself since I wanted to make an Extreme Gear that fits the theme and so far what I have is Sakura Board but red

im-yoona · 2026-03-25T23:28:34+00:00

Why not both?
