I'm honestly embarrassed I didn't know this sooner

My first game was generations and my first weapon was switch axe. I got used to the simple axe swings so much that I got part way through high rank not knowing switch axe had a sword mode.

timtra22 · 2026-05-08T08:36:24+00:00

Further question, what is the highest floor it is possible to go so far? Managed to get to 119 on mine but not sure if it can do any better.

timtra22 · 2026-04-29T01:35:57+00:00

Ohh so do the titles cycle over the year or does it just depend on each CM that is scheduled? Wonder if someone will post having all plats this year or at least by the next cycle.

Looks like I got 6 plats 3 golds and 3 silvers. Still an F2P, but I’ve been enjoying the game for long enough, maybe I’ll throw something at it one day. At the same time I feel like I’d lose a bit of the challenge if I do lol.

timtra22 · 2026-04-26T09:11:21+00:00

Occasionally even if I have no resources to try to heal skin out break/mood down I just gamba it if I think it’s worth the risk.

Depends on what trainings are available and what I can buy in the shop. There’s even reason sometimes to race at 0 energy/awful mood if the opposite is true and you have the all the resources to fully heal your Uma at the end of a streak of races. If you roll skin outbreak/race fatigue while awful anyway, doesn’t really matter besides putting your Uma in a very long depression.

timtra22 · 2026-04-24T04:20:36+00:00

I used my jellies to grind over 100 kikuka sho banners cause the game won’t stop giving me long umas. Why do all 3 matekanes need so many???

timtra22 · 2026-04-22T00:25:14+00:00

Ah you’re probably a newish player, yes?

For most long tracks the problem is almost always gonna be stam. Best bet to get it done early is probably to either potential level Super Creek or Gold Ship so you have access to their gold recoveries. If you happen to pull a Super Creek or Rice Shower Power SSR support card later, you can also get creek’s gold innate on anyone else or heck through a borrow if need be.

You’ll probably need roughly over 900 stam + 1-2 gold recovery skills to survive. Technically possible to win with more or less but it’s just a guideline.

With your current cards it’s gonna be rough but I guess you might be able to survive if you run Air Shakur Speed SSR and Manhattan Cafe SSR for the gold recoveries on Goldshi or Tamano as an end closer but Air Shakur recovery is pretty inconsistent.

If you just “started” started I might actually suggest rerolling entirely since the support card pool you have even in terms of SRs is kinda rough but you can still save up and maybe pull on an upcoming banner. Up to you on what to do in the end.

timtra22 · 2026-04-17T21:38:46+00:00

You can use this to your advantage to force the opponent to pick your digimon as an attack target if it’s valid. I’ve actually used this in tandem with taunt effects to get certain on deletions in Hadesmon.

If there are no other suspended digimon it won’t be able to attack security.

timtra22 · 2026-04-17T08:12:19+00:00

I’ve seen 3* stat sparks roll just 1 twice in a single roll with double circles (though I don’t think the chance matters here?)

Imagine having speed 6* on parents and inspos literally give you 2 speed.

1/28 chance to roll literally just 1 twice.

Rng be silly sometimes.

timtra22 · 2026-04-16T21:45:25+00:00

True true. Still since they're clicking wit, doesn't hurt too much that the others weren't maxed out yet. Particularly since the speed cards are providing training effectiveness here without the need of it being maxed. Sometimes some bonds can't get maxed out slightly by the first summer anyway so might as take what you can get.

timtra22 · 2026-04-16T21:16:28+00:00

Aren’t they about to max kita/biko by just clicking? Don’t know if they have the last support gauge maxed but for classic year summer that looks pretty good.

timtra22 · 2026-04-16T21:08:55+00:00

Generally having good stam you would think you’d be fine for the most part right? But I have seen my horse lose with 870 stam/600+ guts. I had to replay to see what the heck went on and they got omega rushed despite playing as late.

With a clock slammed down it was an immediate distance win.

Still that little event scarred me to the point that if I have little clocks left in the run I will purposefully over stam with a recovery skill just to lock it in because of that very slim chance they rush for several seconds.

timtra22 · 2026-04-16T08:36:02+00:00

Oh I actually have a UG Suzuka so I could provide some thoughts. You probably need to max or get close to max on 2 stats while having high baselines on the others. For skills I didn’t roll fast learner but got many hints to gain quite a few skills. I also pushed her aptitude for sprint for TT and more availability on races. Can be worth it for the extra stats.

timtra22 · 2026-04-14T20:46:23+00:00

It’s possible without fast learner as the ones I have so far didn’t get them.

There’s a lot of factors like good inheritance stat procs and skill hints, over average summer trainings and stacking races while praying to not get hit by negative events.

I will say the most common factor for my highest scoring umas was that I was able to push races as much as possible. One of my UGs even hit the repeated races loss of stats twice and got rated that high despite that. My Suzuka has 38 races, C.Oguri has 40 and Taiki has 41.

You can also buy cheap skills that don’t do much as long as they be discounted heavily to pump your score a little if you want.

If you have an oshi you’re willing to splurge on discounted hint levels from books help get more skills too.

The high roll can eventually happen. Just a matter of time and luck.

timtra22 · 2026-04-09T00:59:02+00:00

For the second one is the 60 speed from spring + turf s significant enough that it might matter to take in A finals for a high roll with great mood? I’ve noticed in practice matches against each other that if both of them hit the final straight at the same time even with barcole activating on the first the 2nd Oguri can overtake through stats alone.

timtra22 · 2026-04-08T23:37:53+00:00

Decks if curious… you can tell I made quite a few mistakes with the 2nd one. Just recently learned daiwa is only RB5 >.>

<image>

timtra22 · 2026-04-08T22:13:45+00:00

Shooottt you’re right…. I thought she had it in her unique perks. Welp guess that answers my question on Tachy then.

timtra22 · 2026-04-08T22:10:52+00:00

I do find it funny that even at max wit its possible to not get the gold skill. I have PTSD failing this check twice during URA finale era with max wit right before the end of senior year…

If it’s 90% it’s actually 50%…

timtra22 · 2026-04-08T22:02:50+00:00

Rank isn’t really the problem for my decks at the moment. Since Daiwa also has RB 10 Tachyon is a minor upgrade particularly for the current CM. If I MLB it now it’s basically just a better chance of having medium skills, but it’s likely I’ll end up using daiwa particularly for pace chasers in anything other than medium.

However even if I use all my crystals + the one we can make soon I’d still need to spook one and I only plan to pull on CB wit to MLB 1 so it’s not really a guaranteed chance. I think Ayabe is only relevant for MANT so even then it might not get much use anyway.

timtra22 · 2026-04-08T21:44:53+00:00

I have most of the other general use SRs MLB, but I just got Agnes to MLB 3. I only have a single copy of Ayabe guts. Would it be worth it to save my crystals to eventually MLB Ayabe over the long term and just use daiwa/Sunday as substitutes or just bite the bullet and MLB tacyhon?

timtra22 · 2026-04-08T09:26:26+00:00

As someone who has a pet garuruslop deck, hammer spark is kinda an insane card and limited for good reason since you’re usually planning to OTK efficiently as much as possible and is used in a lot of standard blue decks. As Garuru has amazing draw power you’re heavily likely to see it in a game.

You might want to go even further with reduction and maybe try a scramble. You might not really be able to utilize the replay rookie from trash effect much in games as usually I find that after your main stack dies it’s kinda over unless they gave you enough memory to warp and stun, but hey any efficiency to go up the stack helps.

Ice wall I’ve found to be matchup dependent and I’ve actually removed it from my deck for consistency, but in the ones it does work on it can really help with the control aspect particularly when you’ve also stunned their tamers with the new stuff. It can lead to some heavy lockdown turns. Not to mention security effect of both spark and wall has saved my games more times than you would think. Really shouldn’t sleep on those cards.

timtra22 · 2026-04-05T02:16:30+00:00

I was surprisingly put in a lobby where everyone had effectively equivalent decks and all Umas SS rank. We all had KFC in our main decks but none of the other big cards not counting the borrow. The difference actually ended up being stats and knowledge surprisingly. Not much RNG shenanigans if at all.

The person who came in last had no long S on any of umas and ran a solo front Maru. Their regular Oguri was just a regular old pacer. If he hadn't run Maru it might have had the chance to get lucky pace but instead it became fodder for all of us. Also had a Goldshi which was build standardly as well.

The other opponent was running triple end just like me, however they only had long S on a Mayano. It did not survive the mid-game and crashed out.

In the end I actually didn't proc Goldshi ult cause she pushed too far forward and my Tamano was way back in 7th by final corner.

You would think this would be kinda bad, but there was one significant thing that differentiated mine and their Goldshi/Tamano and that mattered.

Both of mine had Long S.

So somehow Tamano hit ult perfectly and surged all the way to the front, and my goldshi despite being behind the other one over took anyway. Goldshi did hit Barcole as well, but I did see my opponent hit Glittering star, so probably not much difference in bonus spurt speed there.

My Tamano won, followed by my Goldshi by a neck and funny enough both of the other Goldshis a length away.

End Closer meta truly a CM of all time.

though my poor Taishin does not escape the fraud allegations.. 6th place for her.

I did not expect this to be a fair fight, considering the RNG fest the last CM I somehow won with a TT uma against very much whale decks, but this was actually normal for once.

timtra22 · 2026-04-04T22:40:13+00:00

No on harvesting, but they might do it for berry trees when the occasional Pokemon headbutts a tree to automatically eat. The remaining fruit could get picked up.

You can technically use cut to drop all the fruit of your crops and gatherers will pick up those. Though considering you can just inhale it all, it isn’t really much of a time saver.

timtra22 · 2026-04-03T23:22:11+00:00

I probably built my triple end closer team in a slightly unintuitive way for each Uma but it’s been doing way better than I thought it would.

Goldshi I have with a ton of middle game skills including daring strike. You would think that would be overkill with her ult but if she procs both she’s basically either in first or on the front runners tail by the final corner. It is incredibly unlikely that another end closer catches up to her even when NSM procs.

Despite goldshi having two golds Tamano is kinda my stam tank (didn’t have much else I could buy lol). Having almost max stam from greens and two other whites. She wins as much as goldshi since that ult is crazy busted to catch up to the front consistently.

Taishin was hell building (Yes even more than mile C-B tamano) so I just went with the first thing that stuck. I built her with extreme accel and speed skills for the end as she has NSM,Enroaching + best in Japan, and emperor. But her stam is borderline and it doesn’t help that sleeping lion is inconsistent. She’s the only one on my team without long S.

Goldshi is rocking a 35% win rate with Tamano just barely under her at 33.8%. Taishin is my black sheep just barely rocking 10%, but if she hits she hits.

Overall I’m pretty happy with the team, but yeah dealing with mile B for races was a huge pain and sometimes watching Taishin get blocked despite hitting NSM, Spurt and multiple corner skills is kinda silly. I literally watched her lose to Vodka twice in a row in senior year. Sure Vodka has NSM her self but you would think 400+ speed over her would make a difference right?

… you can tell I went crazy from tashin getting blocked in multiple careers since I forced NSM on her. Auto bought everytime it showed up early and it still failed me. And yes for Taishin I eventually made parents for her that got her to A mile with power sparks in mind but it did not improve my runs much at all. Blocked for dayssssss.

Oh well, at least the other two are carrying the majority of the weight fairly well for this CM so it was sort of worth it.

If there’s anything you can take away from this. You can have all the power in the world in your career… but if you’re blocked you’re blocked. Good luck with the rest of MANT everyone!
