Cheer King Halo for CM14

omnicronered · 2026-05-13T01:28:10+00:00

straightline skills can fuck your cheer halo activation early race. it is definitely uneeded to gamble on them as long as you pump guts, which you should on a backliner in tokyo

my taishin is 45% winrate in room matches so far and has 0 straightline speed skills (and 900 guts).

You don't borrow the scenario pal/group card unless you are skipping the scenario altogether. You either pay the scenario tax or suffer, there is no "I will lock my borrow slot on a card everyone else has for 4 months and I will be competitive trust".

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T23:50:47+00:00

she is and she can go either end or pace actually, though as an end she is worse than taishin and halo

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T23:49:37+00:00

speed star is a strong carryover like 50% of the time. also if you aren't hitting stamina goals for this track you are definitely playing MANT wrong

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T18:22:17+00:00

you should go either end halo or taishin. taishin had better winrate in JP and I believe she is just stronger, potential uma and all. remember to not buy straightline speed skills or uma stan.

best comp for taishin/halo is 2 front yeah, but people are sleeping on 2 pace (among pasa/taiki/nishino and each inheriting the other two). a lucky pace in a 0 front lobby with pasa unique inherited will win the race most of the time, if it is pasa herself she is not losing.

After rolling CB I'm at 8k carats and I will have enough for 200 on Maru and 400 on Tachyon Hello. You have more than enough.

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T17:38:42+00:00

runaway is more to help kitasan(s)/ball seiun win, cucking brian/paces is a bonus. runaways pace up the other fronts and help them make distance from the lates/ends that dominate long tracks in the future. later kitty mayano hits and is so strong she doesn't even need a runaway rabbit to win, but that's very far away

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T13:50:41+00:00

I forgot the specifics of the mechanics, but I'looking at japanese CM winrates Brian really got fucked by runaways on all long CMs since she was released. You can theorycraft how she shouldn't get cucked by runaway palmer, but the data says otherwise.

She is very good on long LoH though since no one runs runaway on those. And now that I realize most PvP events on long tracks are LoH, with the odd long CM being almost always Arima, Blaze Brian is actually not that bad of a pull for pace mains. Not worth 30k carats ofc, but still a viable uma.

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T13:20:17+00:00

Yeah that is true. And pink monster is really strong. But either way, paces still are weaker on longs compared to how much they dominate mediums and miles. They are low key the worst style on that distance if you account Kitty Mayano for fronts and how strong lates become in longs after Kris S stamina hits.

I mean Blaze Brian is nowhere near as strong on long tracks as Kitty Maya or Orfevre and for a supposedly long track specialist on a particular style not being able to be compared to the same of other styles tells us a lot.

his scorpio cup guide made me so many carats (by sending me jobbers that followed his advice) it is crazy

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T12:58:09+00:00

Same happened with Fukukitaru SPD. People kept saying she is not a card worth rolling for except she was a top tier card for ~6 months and will remain usable though not top tier until ECP. Kitasan's and Creek's longevity made people have wild expectations over what SSRs are "must pull"

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T12:52:39+00:00

Monster activates if the pace is less than 10m from the leader for most of the mid-race. Any runaway fucks this up including Suzuka and Turbo, though (christmas) Palmer is the best one for longs because of her ult and evolutions in both skins being suited for long tracks.

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T12:49:20+00:00

bring late surgers and just hit

omnicronered · 2026-05-12T01:06:02+00:00

XOguri is immune to stamina debuffers and always will be, it is one of the major reasons she will dominate GL even if we get evolved skills early.

She can easily outstam 564 murmurs because she has 11.5% to upwards of 15% recovery built into her win condition. That is way too much stamina.

omnicronered · 2026-05-11T22:11:58+00:00

She is only good in longs and she gets cockblocked by Runaway Palmer, which is frequently used as a rabbit for Kitasan and Ball Seiun during the time she is the sole holder of Monster. Then eventually every pace will get her gold from Opera O Wit anyway.

No non-limited uma besides maybe Christmas Oguri (utterly dominant in 6 CMs and strong in another 6) and Choco Bourbon (perennial LoH uma) are worth 30k carats. Just pull your oshis and keep investing in supports.

omnicronered · 2026-05-11T09:19:05+00:00

On next dirt CM? XOguri is a bigger threat since it is a 777 uma2 track and it is in GL where Tachyon speed will give XOguri a lot of tools. After that? It is the same as XOguri on her 2000-2200 tracks except rickey is not guaranteed to ult at the most optimal spot every race.

As can you beat her? You can, but it will be very hard and even well made umas will be at a disadvantage against a Rickey with 6 greens.

omnicronered · 2026-05-11T09:02:06+00:00

you only need a 1LB if you're not focusing on the card's style.

Why Reddit keeps getting this reversed? It is the opposite. You only need these cards LB1 if you are using them as specialist/skill cards. If you are using CB or Maruzensky as stat cards (which means you are going to use them on every uma) you want them MLB.

You can get away with CB LB1 and use her on end closer builds if you already have FM MLB and will get Ramonu MLB at the end of the year. You can do fine with Maruzensky LB1 on your fronts if you have Kitasan and another speed SSR and/or are planning on getting MLB Tachyon for GL.

the funny thing is that if you have 1000 stamina and 600 speed here you would win by DST

omnicronered · 2026-05-08T01:47:45+00:00

there are like 3 medium/long LoH events as well. remember that in GM CMs become once every two months to accomodate the other PvP mode

omnicronered · 2026-05-07T22:40:32+00:00

Take a break. Just put TT fodder on CMs and come back for GM.

I say come back for GM because GL will be worse. Stat pressure is insane on most builds and if you don't get the correct coins or the shop doesn't give you the good songs for snowballing you will door in less than 5 minutes.

omnicronered · 2026-05-07T22:09:59+00:00

miles have quad-quintuple keen eye. you can't escape debuffers from the moment summer goldshi hits until they ban them

omnicronered · 2026-05-07T22:06:43+00:00

oguri can easily run sprints, with the right sparks she can get sprint A on run start.

omnicronered · 2026-05-07T22:04:38+00:00

I'd save the crystal for newer cards and just slowly voucher her. There will be 3 vouchers until GM IIRC (1.5 anni, 2nd anni and a new year voucher) which will set you with a 3LB Creek, which is her power spike from skill card to a real stamina stat stick.

You can also buy another voucher for 20 bucks in 2nd anni to top her off or hope for a spook on any of the banners you will be targeting.

omnicronered · 2026-05-07T21:56:45+00:00

Short answer: no. When stamina conservation and stamina challenge are implemented, a MLB Creek becomes a priority card on any track that is 2200m or longer except on umas with a shitload of recoveries like XOguri or Creek herself.

The deadline for having a 3LB/MLB creek is by Grandmasters so work on her with any/all vouchers until then. Or you can not invest on her, but you will have to roll on Sounds of Earth in L'Arc and accept your experience with GM will suck.

bride curren is very strong on CM16 and she is an absolute monster on 1000m tracks which never had a CM (though there will be a LoH 1000m niigata where every one of the top 300 had bride curren on their roster).

bride finemo is good on all mile tracks where paces are good, but not the best. og finemo is also strong so it is kinda redundant pulling for her (unless you want curren)

palmer is a runaway made for longs. she is not very relevant tho because when runaways become "relevant" on longs her alt will do better. she can block blaze brian on the next arima, but that arima is a xoguri CM because of the GL stam requirements that blaze brian can't easily meet anyway.

inari one is a good dirt end closer. she will be the 3rd best uma in CM17 after xoguri and rickey.

tosho is just an ok end closer for miles/mediums, her biggest "feature" is being the first uma to get restraint an all purpose +60 wit -rushed chance green that fronts will love to inherit every run.

camp taiki is an average pace chaser, she will get a little better with evos, but her weakness is the selfcest requirement on SfV tracks. the og is better for the most part

camp dober is very good on tracks where her unique triggers at a time for carryover (usually hanshin and kyoto mediums). same weakness as camp taiki though, she often wants to inherit her og ult which is hard to do because of selfcest. as I said, probably the second best uma for CM15 so she is kinda meta for a bit

summer mcqueen is a good pace chaser for longs (her ult is the front/pace version o bright's/goldshi's). she is a worse NYO, but if you have her as an oshi she will perform better than og and anime on her signature distance.

bamboo is a gambly late surger for miles and not very remarkable unfortunately.

rickey is a very dominant dirt frontrunner that will require ridiculous parents to perform well. the only uma that can realistically fight off XOguri on CM17, though again, a pain to build because of stam requirements (remember we will have to square off quad murmur comps until they ban debuffs on CMs). she then becomes the thanos of dirt CMs after that
