Takeaways

• 😀 Choose your trainee wisely by focusing on those with high growth rates in speed, power, or wit. Top recommendations include Sakra, Bakshino, Taiiki, Shaturu, and others.
• 😀 Prioritize stacking power sparks in your UMA's inheritance or sparks to maximize stats. Aim for a combination that provides 18 power if possible.
• 😀 Build a free-to-play friendly support deck with free speed and wit cards. If unavailable, use alternatives like Matikafukitaru and Agnes Tation.
• 😀 Use a simple point system to make training decisions, assigning values to each supporter. Aim for 2-3 points for optimal training choices.
• 😀 Ensure your UMA's mood is high for the 20% stat boost, and don't hesitate to take outings if mood is low to secure a better mood early on.
• 😀 Avoid learning skills during the early stages of training, as you can get skill discounts later or obtain them from hints.
• 😀 Friendship training is key! Prioritize building friendships with your supporters, as it significantly boosts training efficiency and stat gains.
• 😀 During summer camp, maximize training with your full energy and prioritize those that provide a stat boost of 30 or higher in main stats.
• 😀 Focus on building a fanbase, aiming for at least 50,000 fans by early November and 100,000 by year-end to unlock valuable boosts.
• 😀 In senior year, continue prioritizing speed and wit, while maintaining a strong friendship gauge with your director to increase stat boosts after each race.
• 😀 After winning the URA finals, purchase your skills. Choose wisely based on your goals, as certain skills (like Iron Will) are better suited for certain playstyles.

Q & A

What is the primary focus of the strategy outlined in the video?

The strategy focuses on training an A+ or S-ranked UMA, with specific tips and methods that can help players, including free-to-play ones, build strong UMA using optimal support cards, events, and training schedules.

How do growth rates play a role in selecting a trainee?

When selecting a trainee, it's important to choose a UMA with strong growth rates in speed, power, or wit, and who also has straightforward goals, to ensure effective training for the specific race distances.

What is the recommended deck composition for a free-to-play player?

For free-to-play players, the recommended support deck includes three speed cards and three wit cards. The example deck in the video includes an event special week, SRS like Sweep to Dwas Garator, Marvelous Sunday, and Fine Motion, with only one limit break.

What is the significance of the point system in the training process?

The point system is used to make training decisions easier. Each supporter is worth one point, and some special supporters, like Kita, are worth more. The goal is to choose the best training options based on these points to optimize stat gains.

Why is it important to manage your UMA's mood during training?

Maintaining a good mood is crucial as it provides a 20% bonus to all stat gains. Therefore, it is important to spend a turn securing a good mood if necessary, especially when the best training options score low points.

What should players prioritize when choosing training events?

Players should prioritize events that offer power, stamina, or wit boosts, and those that provide an energy boost when their energy is low. This ensures consistent progress without major setbacks.

How should players handle the debut race and subsequent races?

Players should aim to have their speed, power, and wit stats around 200 by the time of the debut race. Afterward, continue prioritizing high-point training and races with grade three or higher, selecting the shortest distance their UMA is good at.

What strategies should be used during the summer training camp?

During the summer training camp, focus on training your UMA at least three times, if not all four, as all training facilities reach max level. Aim for a stat boost of at least 30 in your main stat by the end of the camp.

How important is fan count during training?

Fan count is crucial as it unlocks different scenario events that provide better rewards. Players should aim for at least 50,000 fans by early November to receive a 20 wit and skill point boost, and 100,000 fans by the end of the year for a 30 skill point boost.

What is the best approach for the senior year to achieve the highest stats?

During the senior year, players should continue focusing on speed and wit, while managing events that raise skill levels and maintain energy. By the end of the year, aim for around 1,500 in speed and wit, and 700 in power to be prepared for the UR finals.
