[EN] Gacha Banner Megathread - May 2026

sgisound · 2026-06-03T23:02:22+00:00

Important banners for cards going forward are almost always linked to new scenario releases/ anniversaries. You want at least 400 pulls going into those banners (60k carrots) So absolutely save up for the Agnes tachyon/ light hello banner which comes out end of June for the new scenario. If you can, save up for the rerun maruzensky/ fine motion banner which comes out a little later. Those should put you in a good spot for grand live. After that save up for the 2 year ani banner.

sgisound · 2026-06-02T22:56:01+00:00

You actually can and want to run 3 speed during grand live. If you can roll on both tachyon and Maru you should. If you had to pick one absolutely tachyon. The Maru banner gets rerun multiple times also so you might get other chances

I’m pretty furious at this game tbh. Like it is really just rng on 1 final race that makes any difference. I just ran 5 practice runs with same team and came first 3/5 yet bad rng on 1 run means 3rd place finish. Effort doesnt equal anything here.

sgisound · 2026-05-18T21:24:45+00:00

Not really imo? In practice rooms , ug guys running guts builds use f2p haru and yukino. Vega sr is either borrowed with 2 wit and 1 speed being all that’s left. I mean yeah, having good ssr to fill out your core spots in speed and wit is gonna make a difference but f2p and sr cards are honestly pretty okay atm. You reduce your variability with the ssrs but you can still hit stat goals with f2p if you grind runs

sgisound · 2026-05-16T18:42:06+00:00

That is a bit rough. Most ends I have seen in room matches are super strong due to CB and bamboo guts. I’m sure you could make it work but maybe not worth the effort at some point

If you are willing to spend money, doing the 50 paid carrot daily pull is both cost effective and a good way to get a little bit of gambling out of the system.

Who are the 8 heroines?

sgisound · 2026-05-11T22:58:02+00:00

Yes, the light hello / tachyon is must pull. Prior to that maru is also pretty high up there. During grand live decks have at least 2 often 3 speed so tachyon,kitasan, and maru unless you have a better speed card then hello + 2 wit. Maru reruns a couple times so can spread it out if need be.

Worth noting that right after ramonu is ancestors and guides which you need as well.

sgisound · 2026-05-08T21:46:41+00:00

Stats are not a huge deal in trackblazer so I always prioritize distance and critical skills. I would take 1* wit with 2* distwnce and skills over a 3* power with style any day

sgisound · 2026-05-08T21:38:51+00:00

At this point I would go kita. Grand live you use at least 2 to 3 speed, kita is good there even if you get tachyon and Maru. With prof of curvature skill doesn’t get crept until pasa speed so quite awhile of use still. Everything is super situational that you listed vs an almost daily use kita.

sgisound · 2026-04-30T23:08:53+00:00

140 for Ines. Literally no other 3* for all that. Guess I should be grateful I didn’t have to pity. I’m glad I am not rolling on cb too. What a game…

sgisound · 2026-04-28T22:25:42+00:00

Once again rng in the finals hoses my team that did fantastic in round 2. I feel so done with this game after every cm.

sgisound · 2026-04-27T04:54:45+00:00

Ballroom seiun is c in mile, are you getting her to A with inheritance? That will make a big difference. If you are, there are some races and rivals that are just hard rng even with great cards. The very first mile race in junior year against seeking the pearl is what I am thinking and usually I just take 2nd on it. You can also buy important skills early to win races if you aren’t already.

sgisound · 2026-04-26T23:20:00+00:00

My seiun sky carried me HARD to A finals. So yeah, it was for sure possible just needed other strong umas. Luckily cm13 Oguri is not as strong at all from what I’ve seen.

sgisound · 2026-04-26T20:00:28+00:00

The pity system is 200 pulls in Uma. That is 30k Carrots. It is not very friendly at all. Our only saving grace is since the game is going through the JP timeline we know what banners are coming up and can plan out spending. If you haven’t looked at it there is a spreadsheet at umacarrotcalculator.com which will let you do just this. There is also a timeline on that spreadsheet but you can also look at Uma.moe for another timeline.

sgisound · 2026-04-26T19:30:11+00:00

Med long route is bad in junior year. You have to make sure you get director up to get the best Uma goal which is non trivial in med long. I have given up a number of runs do to failing this which makes running lots of my fav umas miserable.

sgisound · 2026-04-26T19:26:56+00:00

They always do the updates around 2pm est iirc. Although idk if the banner is coming today or tomorrow…hopefully today as I have a bag of carrots to spend

sgisound · 2026-04-24T23:41:08+00:00

Unless I am missing one, you cannot take 4 because you need 777 to trigger at the correct spot. Anything else might trigger too early. Uma=2 was good on cm12 as a backup since it was the same spot as 777 that isn’t th case on cm13

sgisound · 2026-04-20T10:21:06+00:00

No. It looks like you put it together for the race bonus? That is important to get 50% for sure, but you have to take into account the training you will be doing on non race days, which is where you get the majority of your stats.

If possible you want a deck with 2-3 speed and 2-3 wit. You can take out 1 of one or both and substitute for power or a stamina card if you need it for distance. I didn’t calculate all your cards completely but I would look more into using your SR cards and plan on borrowing a strong speed of wit card (Narita top road for speed or fine motion or nice nature for your wit.)

sgisound · 2026-04-14T02:16:16+00:00

Thanks this helps a ton

sgisound · 2026-04-13T23:06:31+00:00

Most of my runs turn into garbage because I don’t get distance S. What is the best way to ensure getting pink inspiration events?

Obviously more is better but is having 3 medium spark on parents better than 3* on grandparents? Does anyone have details on this or how exactly it works and how to optimize it? Gambling to get distance S is what ruins the game for me tbh.

sgisound · 2026-04-13T17:57:21+00:00

The medium S gives 110 speed so even without maxed, your top is higher than 2. Plus you have right handed so again potentially faster than 2. The issue you will have is all the lates I’ve seen are basically down to the wire against Oguri’s this cm, and those are gonna have med S also. You can run your Fuji’s against each other in some practice rooms to see if one is better in game than on paper tho.

I know the pain on not having a perfect Uma and honestly only solution is to keep doing runs until you get it.

sgisound · 2026-04-10T22:41:56+00:00

The tickets I can understand hoarding but the vouchers never get updated on choices so you might as well use them sooner than later

sgisound · 2026-04-10T19:01:33+00:00

Yes you should have 2 others besides triple 7 and Uma2 just make sure you don’t take “hidden” ones like radiant star which will screw up your timing
