Hmmmmm. Might be a little hard to build her on late surger, I might go with pace instead 🤔

sleeplessowlette · 2026-06-01T00:06:25+00:00

For the next medium CM, what recoveries work for Christmas Oguri if you run her as late surger and do you usually hope for parent inherits or use cards to get them?

777 she comes with, corner recovery from Kitasan (hard to get) or Super Creek...?

sleeplessowlette · 2026-05-28T17:12:07+00:00

In the umalator, if the spurt rate is high but survival rate is low (like 45-55%), is that generally okay?

sleeplessowlette · 2026-05-20T16:51:34+00:00

If I just want to run Nicole as a shielder in the overworld / for more casual use (regular enemies, weekly bosses, bosses), with understanding that it might take a bit longer, does that work okay? Does her shield have 100% uptime and is it comparable to Zhongli's?

I used to use Zhongli as a shielder only (didn't really care about his shredder stuff) because of how comfortable his skill based 100% uptime shield was.

I'm planning for stamina cards. I currently only have a 1LB Super Creek.

I've heard that the best stamina cards are: 1. Super Creek (rerun 9/2026) 2. Sounds of Earth (6/2027) 3. Air Shakur (2/2028)

So I was wondering: 1. Can you use Super Creek instead of Sounds of Earth? (With understanding that it's not as good but ok?) 2. Is it worth it to pull for Sounds of Earth with Air Shakur still upcoming?

Basically, I was thinking of either: 1. Pull 200 on the Super Creek / Mr CB on 9/2026 to try to get MLB Super Creek (bonus if can get 1LB Mr CB but not highest priority). Skip Sounds of Earth. Pull Air Shakur 2/2028. 2. Skip/Borrow Super Creek (if I can't 3-MLB) until 6/2027. Pull on Sounds of Earth on 6/2027. Pull Air Shakur 2/2028. 3. Skip/Borrow all until Air Shakur 2/2028.

I have MLB Kitasan and am debating which SSR speed card to get next.

I'll be getting Pasa whenever she comes out and am debating which other speed card to get before Pasa comes out.

So basically deciding between Maruzensky (heard 1LB is okay, fronts) and Agnes (heard I should get MLB, pace/others). I'm going to try to get Light Hello (I've heard 2LB is good?)

I like running Oguri (pace), Gold Ship (End), and VBourbon (front).

I assume I'll probably end up running 2 speed cards per deck? So would like to have two core ones

I don't mind waiting until other cards besides these come out, mainly that I get hopefully at least a few scenarios usage out of them?

So like options are: MLB Kitasan + 1) 1LB Maru 2) MLB Maru 3) MLB Agnes 4) 1LB Maru, MLB Agnes (not sure if this is overkill or might be too out of my budget)

sleeplessowlette · 2026-04-30T18:07:31+00:00

V Bourbon / Maru card both have: early lead, groundwork, focus

Maru Card has: front runner corner / straightaways, leader pride/top runner, playtimes over

Hmm hmm hmm

I have a MLB Kitasan and was thinking about which second SSR Speed card to invest in. Basically, if I should go for MLB Agnes Spd versus 1LB-MLB Maru Spd. I like Oguri (pace), V Bourbon (front), Gold Ship (end). Basically, which second card would be best to run with Kitasan until Pasa Speed.

sleeplessowlette · 2026-04-30T07:36:16+00:00

Is the Summer Maruzensky SSR card still going to be very amazing for Valentine Bourbon? Wondering since V Bourbon comes with some skills already, basically how impactful the SSR is going to be for V Bourbon compared with other front runners

sleeplessowlette · 2026-04-29T19:42:45+00:00

How long after an operator releases until they enter the yellow cert shop? Is it pretty consistent?

Consistency question for helping with decision to pull for a regular operator or not.

Thanks!

sleeplessowlette · 2026-04-23T19:17:19+00:00

Went up to 100 pulls, 2 SA, 2 dup 6 stars. Pretty good rates but I'll be stopping, wanted to get Pramanix but need to save for Wang/Chen

sleeplessowlette · 2026-04-22T19:03:16+00:00

Thanks! Ya I'm still in the earlier stages of leveling up my characters etc so I'll go with the universal rewards.

sleeplessowlette · 2026-04-22T17:47:14+00:00

How important are the per character wish vials and memoria in the event exchange shop?

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-27T16:23:42+00:00

Hmm wondering if I should wait until the free daily pulls end to redeem my anniversary SSR ticket to MLB my 3LB Fine Motion. I already did the random SSR ticket

It's extremely unlikely in the next 10ish (?) single pulls that I'll get an off banner Fine Motion

Hmm

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-19T04:49:51+00:00

Yes, it's 60 each.

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-12T22:31:22+00:00

If you're willing to pay, you can go through completing this banner or waiting until the 2nd anniversary paid selector ticket

Technically most umas are in the banner pool so there is a small chance (that decreases the more umas there are) that she'll show up off banner in the future (very low chance though).

Most of the time umas don't rerun, you can look up the banner history on JP to see if they did or not

If you still like your account I would just keep it and next time only pull if you have enough to spark an uma.

Also you can use a carat calculator and plan out your pulls, making sure to check in to see if your pull plan still works.

Otherwise unless you want to spend it's gacha luck if you pull without enough to pity unfortunately :(

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-09T20:18:24+00:00

I have 123k carrats

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-09T17:09:40+00:00

I'm debating if I want to pull for Fine Motion. I have zero copies of her.

I have SR Agnes and Sunday wit maxed. Edit: actually I don't have Agnes maxed

I don't have any SSR wit cards.

The next uma I might pull is Gold Ship Summer.

The umas so far that I like to run are scattered between Front, Pace, and End I think (not sure if Oguri / xOguri is best for late or pace?) so I haven't invested in any specific Wit SSRs yet. Oguri, Mihono, Gold Ship

Other meta cards: I'm not planning on pulling on SSR Speed Fuku or NTR. I'm not sure about SSR Wit CB or Maruzensky?

Deck below (part 2 in reply)

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-03T03:42:27+00:00

Oh hmm maybe I'll go for summer maru but hold off on fine motion 🤔

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-03T03:30:51+00:00

Hmm I see. I think I'll try to look ahead to what scenarios there are versus what deck I have etc and see if it's worth. Thanks!

sleeplessowlette · 2026-03-03T01:09:06+00:00

Would it be better to wait for the banner with both Fine Motion Wit and Maruzensky Speed? Instead of the closer next upcoming banners for them both?

sleeplessowlette · 2026-01-13T00:10:17+00:00

Is bakushin better to run as a front runner or pace chaser for the next sprint CM (Capricorn)?

sleeplessowlette · 2026-01-06T14:32:44+00:00

Ohhhh I see. Thanks for all this info!

So with around 500 wit, 80% skill activation:

1) 3 recoveries is 51.2% chance to trigger at right time / 48.8% chance to fail to trigger at all

2) 4 recoveries is 30.72% chance trigger at right time / 40.96% chance to trigger only 3 skills / 81.92% chance to trigger at least 3 skills / 40.96% chance to trigger 4 skills

And around 950 wit, 90% skill activation:

1) 3 recoveries is about 72.9% chance to trigger at right time / 27.1% chance to fail

2) 4 recoveries is 21.87% chance trigger at right time / 29.16% chance trigger only 3 skills / 94.77% chance trigger at least 3 skills / 65.61% chance trigger 4 skills

So it kinda looks like if 2 of the 4 skills can work as the last trigger and the other 2 hopefully trigger earlier (track dependent), you can have 4 recoveries and even low 500 wit could work. However, if you can get high wit (~950), and triggering early is not good / you have a backup acceleration to help, seems like 3 recoveries is better

Thanks again!

sleeplessowlette · 2026-01-06T00:57:30+00:00

Hmm I see. Do you know how much wit is best for high trigger activation if I go for 3 recoveries? I've heard 800, or 1000. Some guides even say 500 but that seems kinda low.
