Is the card not viable at 3LB?

It’s totally usable at 3 LB, and even at 1 LB it’s already very strong. But since I went all-in for it, ending up one copy short of MLB is pretty disappointing.

You know, I started playing a gooner gacha recently, and it’s been a breath of fresh air compared to how sweaty I’ve been with Umamusume... But it looks like I’m gonna hit the level wall soon and get stuck in the story.

Umamusume is a gooner gacha too to a lot of people...

For sure, but that’s something the fanbase does, not Cygames’ intention. There’s even a rule against making lewd fanart of the Umas. But this gacha I’m playing now is intentionally made to appeal to gooners.

@Litreara @Doedoel Only thing stopping me is that Steam deck has too many backlogged games installed and I don't have the memory space for it right now.

You can play it on your phone. It's pretty light in size and performance

My phone is an old shitty free pre-paid Obama phone, that can barely even handle message apps.

I was going to say that you can play it on your phone, but I kinda hate playing it that way. Playing on PC is so much better.

Does Vampire Crawlers count as "gacha" coded? That's what I've been playing recently. Lot's of ingame gambling mechanics.

And I just got stuck in the story... the enemies started outscaling me way too hard... sigh.

Ah I see.
Is it worse than FGO's power spikes? I remember that it would throw main story bosses at you that were nigh unwinnable if you didn't have the top meta characters.

Stuff like making boss fights with very strict time limits, ridiculous hp, and insta kill attacks.

To force you to get OP SSRs who could kill the boss as soon as possible.

Can’t really say if it’s worse than FGO since I’ve never played it. But right now I’m not even stuck on a boss fight, I’m stuck on a regular enemy stage, so...

Not really feeling the next CM. My parent runs have been going horribly. I’m trying to make a Maruzensky with Uma Stan, Nimble Navigator, and Mile/Medium sparks, but it feels impossible. I’ve already given up on getting good blue sparks. I’ve done 8 runs so far and got nothing. Only 2 are even remotely usable. One has Uma Stan and the other has Nimble Navigator, but both are still bad.

From what I understand, Umamusume has a similar "support card" mechanic as Fate Grand Order right?

Special cards you get from gacha as "filler", that you can upgrade with further copies.

But, when you get to the endgame meta levels, you realize that they are not fillers, but nigh mandatory to stand a chance in the endgame content.

Is it that you lack the right "rare" cards to help you get an edge at those hard content you are having trouble with?

So basically, support cards give skills, stat bonuses, training bonuses, and sometimes mood effects, which affect both training and racing.

At base level, a card usually only gives you skills. When you limit break it with duplicate copies, you unlock extra effects. For example, some cards have a training bonus that only unlocks after upgrading the card. So if you want the full benefits, you usually want the card at MLB. But like I mentioned before with my Mr. C.B. SSR, at 3 LB it already unlocked all the effects, they’re just slightly weaker than at MLB.

Besides the cards, you can also inherit skills, race aptitudes, and stat bonuses from legacy Umamusume, also known as parents. So, just like in real life, things are a lot easier when you have good parents.

The problem is that getting good parents is a massive pain. There’s a ton of RNG involved, and since every CM has its own track specifications, you usually need to build parents specifically for each one. So the whole process becomes incredibly painful.

Take care of yourself, man. What use are carats if you aren't enjoying the game anymore

Ah, me, I've been slacking from completing the event... I should do some runs already
