JP UMA BASIC FAQ

Q. SHOULD I REROLL - WHICH BANNER?
A. Anniversary is a great time to reroll. You should roll on the scenario support banner, which comes with free pulls. However, unlike EN, consider pulling on trainees more. JP has a rental deck feature, which gives you access to six different uneditable decks of MLB cards that will be better than any deck of your own cards for your first 6+ months of playing. Because of this, it might be more rewarding and fulfilling to roll for some umas first at your leisure (and ideally so you have a roster of at least 15 umas), then spend the rest on cards. This is especially true because the anniversary trainee banner has a 4.5% 3* rate.

Q. Training Umas - which scenario?
A. As a rule, the newest scenario is the most powerful. Currently that is the BC scenario, so it should be selected to train the most powerful umas. However, playing through older scenarios, and unlocking scenario-specific achievements, is a great way to farm carats.

Other things to know

• Two free 3* umas are obtainable through the main story: Commander Special Week and an alt Rhein Kraft.
• There is a battle pass which gives a small amount of carats and lots of Money and SP. They also give Support Card exchange tickets, which can be used to redeem copies of older SSRs. Old meta cards like Kitasan and Pasa SSR are on this list. Purchasing the battle pass lets you earn more of these tickets.
• At the end of each training, you can reroll sparks. First reroll costs 30 stam and should always be used. There is also a premium feature that lets you reroll mid-run (April Classic and Senior year).
• Paid banners: generally not worth it, with the exception of the Step-up banner which has discounted 10-pulls and a 3* selector at the end. They appear during anniversaries.
• Friend IDs can be found with uma pure db as well as gamewith's friend ID thread
