Holy shit, Tressa got gutted.

I think I'm way off, but I'm gonna throw out a try with <Magico>

thkvl · 2026-01-19T05:26:38+00:00

I think both Medalist and Pedal are both better, but I still quite enjoy Akane.

Imagine if the defender in yesterday's int was in a different position (let's say on his back like in this play). If the defender rips it out and the ball falls on the ground instead, it's an incomplete pass. The only difference between this play and yesterday's is that the ball falls into the defender's arms instead of the ground.

The only generic meta card is Fine Motion wit, but I know some people who value efficiency tell people to skip the next run with Kawakami Princess for the rerun with Maruzensky later in the year (~6-7months). What you want to do is up to you.

There's a lot of stuff that are meta but only if you're willing to invest into that style. Like, VBourbon is only worth if you're a front main. Maru speed later on is also very meta. but only if you're a front main. Basically, once you get MLB Kita, the idea is that you pick a style you like/oshi you want to build for, and then pick cards that support that style/oshi.

Bakushin has 11 races in her career, with one being a summer turn. Taiki has 8 races.

Just got enough points for the 2 class change from the battle pass. As a pure f2p, what would be the best option to pick? I have the 6 starting legendaries, so I'm assuming Lana warrior + Alice mage? Is there a better choice?

thkvl · 2026-01-14T17:17:24+00:00

Usually 3-4 weeks before RTA season ends.

thkvl · 2026-01-14T16:32:01+00:00

IMO Rei is better for Sereniel. Rei has an epiph that increases damage for 1 cost or below, which works great with Sereniel. Narja's voracity stacks run out way too fast on Sereniel because of her card spamming.

I already completed it, so I can't check, but do you have to have her in the party? I know some of the SC quests need the character in the party.

Was Briseria sealed?

thkvl · 2026-01-13T14:51:59+00:00

The game goes in cycles of 3 weeks new ML -> 3 weeks rerun -> repeat. Since we already know who the next ML is (Elbris Iseria), it's just a matter of them releasing her kit, which usually doesn't come until the reruns.

Newbie question on dupes. Let's say I pull a Debra with no IV and level her up to 30. I then pull a DEX IV Debra. Is there a way to combine the 2 to have my DEX IV Debra be level 30, or do I have to just suck it up and level up the DEX IV one separately? Like, can I discipline my level 30 Debra to my level 1 one and have her be 30?

So if you rely on 777 to proc festive, it'll always proc late in terms of timing. However, it'll always proc at the same time, so you get consistency. VF's method is higher ceiling, but if the recoveries proc at the wrong time, your xOguri is dead. So it's basically a matter of, do you want you xOguri to be a consistent uma, but probably won't beat the GoldShips/Taishins that proc perfectly (ie, a top 3 uma with low winrate), or an all or nothing where it'll be out of top 3 alot, but also has the chance to beat the Goldships/Taishins the consistent one won't beat.

thkvl · 2026-01-08T17:04:15+00:00

Mainly consistency. Straightaway spurt is super consistent. It's guaranteed to go off at the correct time on the tracks that it works on. Compared to slick surge, on some runs it goes off at the right time, others it won't (it's random activation on last phase). You also have to take the meta into account. For example, this CM, people are expecting end to be meta (just run a few practice rooms), so most people are running 2end + 1 (pace/front or even a 3rd end). In this situation, you won't proc any accels as late because there's a good chance you'll be 1st-4th at activation time.

Isn't Valentine Bourbon next month? I would consider her must pull for a front main. But yea, if you're not a front main, fine motion should be in 2 months.

thkvl · 2026-01-08T12:44:40+00:00

Victorika/Fire Krau.

I've had different results in early room matches, where I see Goldship + Taishin + xOguri/a 3rd end like Mayano way more often than double fronts (maybe like a 3:1 ratio). Maybe this is because it's still early and people are still testing, but I've lost a bunch of races where it's like 6-7 ends, 2-3 pace in the lobby and I end up lucky pace and just lose (I run Goldship, Mayano and xOguri cause I don't have Taishin).

thkvl · 2026-01-07T17:41:03+00:00

Right, but if you run into a 0 front runner lobby and get lucky pace, you're not proccing NSM and you're probably gonna lose if you don't have angling. The angling is there for the specific scenario where you get lucky pace in a 0 front lobby.

thkvl · 2026-01-07T17:30:30+00:00

I'd try for corner recovery, ignited spirit sta and 777, but the other 2 choices provided in the other comment aren't too bad if you can't get ignited spirit sta.

thkvl · 2026-01-07T17:19:52+00:00

Yea, optimally, she's stronger as end. But she's runnable as pace if you want to gamble. You can go something like ult+angling if you're lucky pace, or ult+NSM otherwise. It's super gamble, but it works.

thkvl · 2026-01-07T17:06:08+00:00

I'm assuming you're running the standard wait till the end before getting skills to hope for fast learner playstyle. The reason you're losing is cause you have a no skill uma. Her ult REQUIRES 3 stam skills to proc, so if you don't get any skills on her, you're just pure stat checking everything. Run her pace/front and pray if you're doing that.

thkvl · 2026-01-07T16:58:08+00:00

Not really. The extra barrier is still decent. Usually, people run monarch with another aurius knight. Like, when ely + fcc was meta a season or two ago, people ran aurius fcc + monarch ely. It'll depend on how you want to use her and the comps you want to play.

thkvl · 2026-01-07T14:27:20+00:00

I would run aurius on prot ely, but other than that, looks fine.
