HELLO! ♡

I like to think I'm decent at this game so here's my guide to be just so good at this game. This is what worked for me, and it might help you get better!

(Everything is subjective, things not might work for you and that's alright!)

⋮⟢ SPARK FARMING!

(Spark farming is when you grind for Umas to have certain inheritances that will help future Umas have better stats for those who don't know.) (｡﹏｡")

Key strategies for preparing good parents include...

₊˚⊹ Farming Stat Sparks: Higher stats (above 600 or 1,100 points) increase the chances of getting a three-star spark.

• Below 600: 0% chance for a 3-star. ✧
• 600-1099: ~6% chance for a 3-star (50% 1-star, 44% 2-star). ✧
• 1100+: ~10% chance for a 3-star (20% 1-star, 70% 2-star). ✧

₊˚⊹ Winning G1 Races! : Winning G1 races increases compatibility between parents and creates race-specific sparks that provide stats and skill hints during inheritance.

₊˚⊹ Understanding Compatibility: Compatibility, which is symbolized with triangles, circles, or double circles, will influences the quality of inheritance events. Double circles (150+ compatibility) are ideal for maximizing your sparks and stat gains. Gold inheritance events, especially with high compatibility, will yield the best results.

₊˚⊹ Support Card Usage: Instead of focusing solely on high stats for the parent, you can use support cards that provide desirable skills to pass down to future trainees, even if those cards are not optimal for raw stat gain.

₊˚⊹ Choosing Sub-Legacies (Grandparents): You should select grandparents that also have three-star sparks to work towards nine-star parents. You should also consider "pink sparks" (aptitude increases) from sub-legacies to avoid messy desired aptitudes.

₊˚⊹ I have to say that while these strategies increase chances, the process still largely depends on RNG (womp womp). But the main goal is to acquire better stat sparks that will benefit future runs!

⋮⟢ TRAINING (URA)

Short n' sweet!

• ₊˚⊹ Prioritize support card bonds in junior year to unlock rainbow trainings
.
• ₊˚⊹ Always choose event options that give energy to minimize rest days.
• ₊˚⊹ Don't overlook optional G1 races for benefits like skill points, stats, and fans.
• ₊˚⊹ Reduce low-value training days to save energy for better future opportunities.

Spec thinks to look out for!

• ₊˚⊹ Make Debut Race: Start as a front runner to avoid being boxed in no matter what style your Uma runs in. Usually your Uma has the fans advantage to win the Make Debut race! Don't worry if not, just think of it as extra Skill Points to invest in!
• ₊˚⊹ New Year's Resolution: Always pick option two for 20 energy.
• ₊˚⊹ Inspiration Events: Save skill points for potential discounts.
• ₊˚⊹ Summer Training: Huge Opportunities for training gains with maxed facilities, try and aim for SPD, PWR, or WIT! Remember that resting only gives 40 energy and cures all aliments open use.
• ₊˚⊹ G1 Races in Fall (Year 2): Important for gaining fans and other benefits, like skill points and being able to get in the Japan Cup.
• ₊˚⊹ Fan Check Events (Year 3): Make sure the meet the fan requirements (60k, 70k, 120k) to level up your Uma's ult and get mood increases.

⋮⟢ TEAM TRIALS

A biiit more complicated, but sweats are everywhere so you gotta be prepared, sugar!

Key strategies for maximizing your Team Trials score...

₊˚⊹ Try and maximize all points you get per battle, all winnings and placement bonuses are listed below!

• 10,000 flat points for winning. ✧
• Bonus points based on gap between winner and second place. ✧
  • Bonus points for finishing quickly. ✧
    • Top 5 placement for all Umas. ✧
      • Consecutive wins throughout your races give a higher percentage multiplier. ✧
        • Place your strongest Uma in the first slot for a 10% point bonus on all actions! ✧

• ₊˚⊹ Challenge Higher Rated Teams: Higher rated opponents offer a bonus multiplier that can almost double your base points! Don't be afraid to use parfaits to ensure great moods among your team.
• ₊˚⊹ Upgrade your Support Cards: Upgraded support cards provide a flat percentage bonus to your score and offer more skills.
• ₊˚⊹ Skills / Skill Activation is Key: Gold skills yield 1,200 points each compared to white skills' 500 points. Remember to increase your unique skill level during senior year by reaching the specific fan thresholds I mentioned earlier. Avoid inherited unique skills as they count as white skills and are expensive!
• ₊˚⊹ Good Positioning Bonus: Earn 2,000 points when an Uma is positioned first among their racing style. Having a diverse team can maximize this bonus.
• ₊˚⊹ Strong Start Bonus: A quick start rewards 1,000 points. The Concentration gold skill can influence this.
• ₊˚⊹ Dark Horse Bonus: Win as an eighth or ninth favorite for 4,000 points, but this is not recommended due to stat-tanking requirement.
• ₊˚⊹ Train Wisdom (Wit): Higher wit values increase the likelihood of smarter skill activation, leading to more points. Always train wit whenever possible.
• ₊˚⊹ Fill All Team Slots: Even if one of your Umas aren't naturally suited for sprint or dirt races, some can be adapted with sparks to fill those team slots.
