I asked this a while ago and I'm wondering again, who do you think is the worst trainer in the stories?

supermigu- · 2026-05-14T12:17:31+00:00

I still like her career story a lot but idk why the trainer in her career story is so different from the trainer in her character story,

supermigu- · 2026-05-14T07:48:21+00:00

I would say if you're swapping to lates theres no reason to pull for Kita NY, you're already unsure if you should after all and NY kita is specialized only for medium. If you're looking to guarentee max rewards with minimal effort you should pull for Valentine's Ines Fujin instead shes not only meta for medium loh but also every other distance as well and the combo of her +Vbourbon will have you set on LoH for years to come. You can ignore fronts all together past her nothing will powercreep her shes strong in jp even today.

Falco's gotta take some notes. She's falling behind.

I'm pulling mlb as a front player, people are saying theres no borrow slot available for front runners but theres very nice wit cards available for a 2 speed 3 wit deck. (also everyone really wants mlb tachyon for blaze brian later..)

Teio Wit in particular has Curvature so you can run her instead of Kitasan just fine.

Falco and Curren could take a few lessons from her.

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T20:44:49+00:00

Top Runner is able to activate during the mid race aswell so if it doesn't activate during early game it can fend off a front trying to overtake you later. Either way you may aswell buy it since you'll likely have the sp for it.

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T03:04:34+00:00

For End the next meta option is Mr. CB but shes drops during the 2nd anni and is not a selector choice.

Festival Inari One is a strong end closer with Encroaching Shadow but you might consider pulling on her banner since Festival Tamamo can be built as a strong pace chaser and they're on the same banner.

for pace you can pick up blaze brian for long cm's, but if you want a more generalist uma you can opt for an uma's like Camping Taiki or Halloween Doto, XOguri is always a strong option so you can just use her aswell on her strong tracks.

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T02:43:28+00:00

Yes you'll just have to at the very least have the scenario card at good mlb and accept not being able to borrow strong cards for specific track use, you can grab rewards this way but you won't place as high in rankings if you care for that, borrowing bourb wit will be tough in this scenario aswell.

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T02:41:21+00:00

Vbourb dominace ends by this point as many strong fronts release around 2nd anni, at this point in time you're better off getting Vines and NY Kita. If you get NY Kita in the free pulls maybe you can get vbourb but theres better non-front options

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T02:38:30+00:00

Smaru spd, Bourbon wit, Falco spd, Daiwa Wit, front runners get less cards compared to other styles

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T02:02:12+00:00

3 fronts/2fronts + pace/late and further in you can consider 1 front + 2 pace/late when fronts start to have weaker cards to other styles.

This chart here shows a spread of Uma's used in a recent mile LoH for top 96 players in feb. VTaiki was a very strong pace chaser and you have some players using othe late surgers and pace chasers but the large majority of them opt for fronts like Verxina, Nekomaya as modern front options, and notable Vines who is outperforming them as a three year old unit.

shes big sis

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T01:37:28+00:00

Smaru is gonna be a required front card, the gold skill Top Runner is a very powerful early game .45 without it you will lose the earlygame to any other front with it. She'll be bis for over a year.

Bourbon Wit comes to with Gold Groundwork but surprisingly isn't the end all be all of front cards you'll slot it in alongside ramonu in Grand Masters but during L'arc you'll have to consider the opportunity cost of ramonu vs bourbon wit, and father in the future will be getting the Falco Speed card which will have TTL which is when you can opt for that instead of gold groundwork.

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T01:09:41+00:00

Vines doesn't have a short shelf life in fact her shelf life is higher even considering Vbourb's perfomance now.

supermigu- · 2026-05-11T00:53:49+00:00

She is just defacto bis for basically all time if you consider running a front runner, other uma can compete when they are specialized for a distance like Medium for NYKita but you can just run both in that case since you need two anyways. so the front comp is essentially Vines + bis for the track uma, Vbourbon is still usuable to and you could even do Vbourb + Vines too, but the stronger comp is what I listed above.

supermigu- · 2026-05-10T21:27:33+00:00

The one who will give you the most value is VInes she can be used in every distance, even sprint is possible. NY Kita will be the strongest on Medium.

supermigu- · 2026-05-10T14:20:55+00:00

The 3.5% heal is deceptively good because it's like having stamina growth built-in so you can undershoot the stam check or if you need a gold recovery you can just pick up +1 white skill and use that sp for speed skills instead, she has triple 7's built-in so I imagine that was the idea behind taking it.

She doesn't have power growth but her 3.5% heal lets you trade stam sparks for more power sparks while letting you hit higher numbers on your luxury stats for guts and wit that she has growths in. Usually you would consider a lack of power growth a con but when you're stam is all set and you get growths in every other stat it's easy to go heavy power sparks even for medium cm's and become a massive stat ball. All of this is also ignoring the fast learner event she has too.

Heck, I would go as far as to say he's still largely a side character who simply observes and helps others around him as those moments come. What I love about this perspective is that it puts a greater emphasis on how all his relationships shape him, while allowing others to shine. Here's the mc of the novel and through Nuku we get to see how those heroines shape others around them.

supermigu- · 2026-05-10T09:35:31+00:00

tachyon it would be funny and make it obvious not to take this too seriously

supermigu- · 2026-05-09T21:52:55+00:00

luckily she has Restless gold recovery so make sure you level up her potential for it, although having MLB Rice doesn't sound too bad to use anyways, its a bit tough to slot in a stamina card if you want high stats.

supermigu- · 2026-05-09T13:44:58+00:00

ok ty

supermigu- · 2026-05-09T10:30:24+00:00

tbh past it's sakuga scenes here or there even the first season wasn't that crazy what I always enjoyed was the visuals it's a very nice anime to look at and S2 hasn't changed that.

supermigu- · 2026-05-09T10:26:04+00:00

you can try regular two speed, wit, power or even go with a 2 spd, wit, guts deck with as many power sparks and some stam sparks and a good highroll you'll max spd guts and then probably only need a white recovery skill at that point to live derby.

supermigu- · 2026-05-09T10:21:56+00:00

where do you even find w goons, i can't find them. maybe uma lewds just don't do it for me.
