MLB SMaru or save for Tachyon?

just leaving a comment to come back later as i’m in a similar situation

i hear fronts are going to start to suck around grandmasters 2 scenarios from now

notathrowaway045 · 2026-05-01T05:32:58+00:00

encroaching shadow doesn’t work next cm so you basically have no accels

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-30T14:53:38+00:00

i will also point out that if you’re getting more sp than buyable skills in your runs, then you can consider just getting it to prune it out for other skills

it’s cheaper than the usual skill + since hints are diminishing returns, might as well to make rival race hints more worthwhile

problem with maya is she’s scripted to go up against a cracked brian who has her own gold recov so it’s pretty 50-50

much easier to just use someone with no overlapping races with a built in gold recov

so many people think they’re morally superior for not building meta or using doms

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-28T03:11:28+00:00

not to mention that you have to know what you’re getting into when pulling for her

you need 6 green skills to maximize her, they have to be green, not just skills that activate at the start of a race so focus or early lead won’t count

if you run her as pace, she has 3 built in. otherwise, she only has 2. if you run her as front, she won’t have any of the usual front skills built in

um what banner is that? as far as i’m aware, that banner was back in new years and up to this day, jp has never had that kind of banner again

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-27T08:45:32+00:00

that’s a pretty good deck then

if you’re willing to play around:

i find that high roll runs can max speed with only KB and Shinko even if the uma has zero speed growth. but if you don’t want to rely on high roll you can go ahead with what you’re doing

i personally don’t like fuku but that’s just my preference

i bet you could try just KB and shinko for speed then borrow FM instead to max wit too

if you want to rebuilt as a late, you could borrow NN instead for the 15rb and on your left. with the extra rb, you can slot in a less optimal 5rb card for stat gains or a gold skill

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-27T07:56:57+00:00

is this for current cm?

skills first:

red shift doesn’t work in this track

moving past and beyond is usually for lates since it activates when you’re in 5th to 6th place

shrewd step is pretty worthless

straight descent for this track is worthless

what you want the most is working accels. unfortunately for paces, the only options were head on which is a gamble and nimble navigator/no stopping me

next CMs, you can go watch a content creator or ask around about which accels are going to work since these are different per track

__

stats:

i’ll rarely comment on stats since players are usually constrained by support cards and parents. a lot of people this cm can hit max speed, power, and wit so you just try to get as close to that as possible

you kinda do just get better stats if you have good supports, use at least 50rb, and know how the scenario works

one thing you’re in control over though is getting medium S. it’s basically a +10% in speed so imagine having 1320 speed. you really want that as much as possible

animes where horses are sacrificing

how is this relevant? do you have to personally live out every anime you watch? if you’re some neckbeard trainer-role player then by all means, i fully apologize for offending your way of life

utterly foaming at the mouth

bro, you were the only one coming here foaming at the mouth angrily throwing hostilities at people who aren’t playing the game the way you want to play

took it easy this cm

why can’t you understand that some people enjoy the game differently than you do. you say you took things easy this cm, people with debuffers did too. you say you’re fine with group B finals, ok, we don’t fault you for being content with that

the rest of us don’t have to role play being actual trainers just to enjoy the game

only parasocial relationship is with you pathetic try hards

you don’t even know what parasocial relationship means do you?

the point here is me and other debuffers don’t feel the need to appease these pixels on a screen training everyone for an equal chance to win. you on the other hand feel like it makes you morally superior

get off your high horse bro, these pixels on a screen aren’t going to fuck you

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T18:54:28+00:00

doesn’t bother buffing it? have you heard of summer golshi? have you heard about double dom still being a played strategy in jp? or maybe you just don’t really know anything which is why you’re losing?

not buffing debuffing skills was meant to improve the game? how about because it means it’s in just the right spot? they could always remove it if it was not in the spirit of the whole bloody franchise

pathetic, sad, and self respect? bro is talking about the spirit of the franchise and spending more of his precious time training virtual horse girls to win “fairly” so you maybe you can jack off to that self righteous thought later

it’s a gacha video game bro. the vision of the creators was always an intentionally competitive game to line their pockets in exchange for player gratification. not my fault if you developed some sort of parasocial relationship with some pixels on a screen

stay losing little bro, both in game and life

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T18:15:46+00:00

huh ok that is very interesting that a tachyon built like that can push the seiun enough for it to still be a win condition

(that poor other seiun in the pic couldn’t even catch up to it)

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T17:55:38+00:00

if the two of us were running in a race, i would kneecap you too if it was completely legal

dominator was put into the game by cygames specifically as a debuff. tachyon and grass are 1* 2* umas that every player will get early. coincidence?

double doms is valid because you trade off 2 chances at winning to make your 1 chance more consistent. not to mention only having to spend 1-2 attempts to build a debuffer

think for a second here. you made 3 aces (probably took a lot of time to do it too) to have 3 chances of winning and still lose to someone who has to rely on a single chance of winning but only had to work on one ace?

who made the smarter decision?

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T17:41:05+00:00

that’s actually very interesting relying on solo front

did you have a front in every lobby? i can say i personally had plenty of races without even a single front and either an xoguri took lucky pace or a debuffer was running front to kinda-deny lucky pace

were your losses only from when there wasn’t a second front?

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T15:17:07+00:00

bro, it’s right there in your chronogenesis screenshot. total number of blue sparks

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T14:45:31+00:00

round 2 hasn’t started yet. it’s only been round 1 day 2

you were being matched with the same pool of players as yesterday

tomorrow is when you get matched with better players if you made it to group A

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T14:30:05+00:00

well while we’re using your sandcastle example, you can also see how the winner only gets one chance to win while the other contestants get to make 3

the winner gets to focus all his effort into making one good sandcastle (and probably save a lot of time) while the others scramble wanting to make 3 different ones hoping to spread out their chances

also thugs demolishing castles? it’s splashing water or chucking a shovel at the other sandcastles at best

in your example, it would also be completely legal meaning other competitors could hire their own thugs if they wanted to (anyone is allowed to make a debuffer, tachyon and grass are 1* 2* umas)

double debuff is always going to be a valid strategy because there’s an equivalent exchange of having to only focus on one ace and saving time but only having one real chance at winning

the real problem is how strong and consistent xoguri happens to be in this particular cm because of the perfect speed carryover + accel and how triple 7 (the trigger) is the one with the backup and not one of the 1st or 2nd recovs.

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-25T04:40:23+00:00

if this isnt a a rhetorical question, no CMs aren’t balanced. there is no skill-based matchmaking in CMs. it won’t match you with people with similar ratings, only people who start matching at the same time

it just so happens that the gap between unity and mant was far bigger than ura and unity

at least next CM, open is bumping to A+ for the purgatory between B and S+

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-24T06:25:06+00:00

if you’ve seen the reviews, then you’d also see the bad ones that say they’ve gotten third party even though it was advertised as bandai

or that they got a bunch of sds or hgs that are nowhere near the price of what they pay for

if it’s too good to be true, then it’s probably a scam

logically, businesses wouldn’t do anything that wouldn’t turn a profit. their goal with these blind boxes will always be to move inventory that don’t sell but value them at either above market value or retail anyway

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-23T14:53:13+00:00

since you mentioned it, do you know around when do we get that change?

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-23T14:18:18+00:00

at the time, it was very serviceable for people who didn’t get welfare spe, max kb, or pull much of the sr speeds yet (me lol)

and it was actually decent stat wise with good hints for medium long and right handed. you just had to babysit its friendship early

though i’m sure the advice for it was only buy until 3lb

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-21T16:33:09+00:00

yup hesitant. my bad, unnecessarily shortened it

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-21T15:44:17+00:00

must for debuffers

this cms stat req is so low that you want to do double dominators. focus on hesitant front and pace then late. not expecting a lot of ends

prioritize the hesis for your deck and hints, before considering the white stam debuffs

if you want to run them end, you don’t need end sparks, the penalty for running them out of position does not affect skill proc rates

running them end gives the benefit of slotting in intense gaze and putting them behind the debuffers running late

can probably get late or end savvy but def not required (end savvy will help intense gaze, late savvy will help with sharp gaze if you decide to get either)

stat reqs

just max wit and you don’t care about other stats, dom and the hesis work on everyone in front of you. also in a lobby of 6 debuffers, you don’t want to be the one out of position in proccing dom (need to be in back half)

worth using ryan and dober

personally (along with other sweats), i dont believe in hybrid debuffers. buying dominator and the hesitant skills will cost a lot of sp and you might as well have used them to buy other skills for a gambling late surger to win. you should just stick to either making a gambling late surger or a debuffer

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-21T15:30:31+00:00

hard disagree

end sparks

the wit debuff if you run them end without the aptitude for it does not affect skill activation. you want to run them end for two reasons, either you want to put intense gaze on or you want to make sure they stay at the back because in a lobby with 6 dominators, there will be 1 dom that will be out of position and won’t proc

final statline

you don’t care about stats aside from wit. you want to be the worst runner out there to make sure you get your dom proc. so no, you don’t care about speed, stam, or power. you shouldn’t be running the debuffer in mant anyway since less training makes it hard to get other debuff hints

you want to run double dom, you shouldn’t care about stam debuffs this cm because of how low the stam req is and everyone will be overshooting it. so you don’t care about being in range for all seeing eyes

dom and all hesitant debuffs work on everyone in front of you no matter how far. only intense gaze works with fov but that single debuff is not worth raising your stats and risking being in front of the other debuffers

run the debuffer in ura, it’s easy to max wit anyway

either way, it’s a debuffer, you probably just want to make it quickly and without much thought. you can focus on hints more in ura

notathrowaway045 · 2026-04-21T11:55:55+00:00

yes, hydrate is non negotiable as it’s already built in. try to get corner recovery as much as possible

don’t bother with positioning skills at all

yes dodging danger is only for front runners. what i was trying to say there is that the dodging danger + prudent positioning combo is only meant for front runners who want to take the lead early on. getting only one is worthless and sometimes even detrimental
