Takeaways

• 😀 Understand your UMA's needs, track type, and race distance to make the right career training choices from the start.
• 😀 Focus on boosting your UMA's strengths and covering weaknesses, particularly for preferred tracks and race types.
• 😀 Use legacy skills wisely to give your UMA stat boosts, race bonuses, and strategy advantages. Don't use your UMA's own skills as her legacy.
• 😀 Early on, borrow guest horses with better stats from high-ranked players to improve your legacy and get a boost.
• 😀 Select support cards based on your UMA's career needs, prioritizing stamina for long-distance races but considering flexible cards for other stats and useful skills.
• 😀 Support cards trigger events that provide skill hints, mood boosts, and stats. Correctly answering event questions helps unlock new skills.
• 😀 Keep an eye on your UMA's energy and mood; bad mood can significantly impact race performance, including speed and positioning.
• 😀 Training with low energy risks injury and wasted turns. Always ensure your UMA has enough energy before training.
• 😀 Balance stats based on your UMA's race distance: speed for short races, stamina for long races, and a mix for medium-distance events.
• 😀 Support cards' bond levels increase by training with them. Aim for friendship training, which provides significant stat boosts.
• 😀 Managing risks is crucial, especially when your energy is low. Avoid training with failure percentages above 25%, and use rest or recreation to recover.

Q & A

Why are some players able to dominate in PvP with A+ horses in just two weeks?

It’s not about luck. These players make informed choices before starting their career training. They understand their UMA's needs, career race path, and build around that from the very beginning.

What is the first thing you should do when starting career training?

You need to choose your UMA and focus on understanding their track and distance preferences. For example, Rice Shia prefers medium to long-distance turf races, and knowing her strengths and weaknesses will help you plan her training.

What role does legacy selection play in career training?

Legacy selection is crucial as it boosts your UMA’s stats, race bonuses, and strategy. Choosing legacies that complement your UMA’s strengths (like stamina for long-distance races) can enhance her performance.

What is the hack for improving your legacy early on in the game?

A useful hack is to follow high-ranked players, borrow their UMA for legacy selection, and use their better stats to boost your UMA's performance. You can borrow guest horses up to three times a day.

What should you prioritize when choosing support cards for your UMA?

You should focus on support cards that enhance stats aligned with your UMA's race needs. For example, Rice Shia, who races mostly on medium and long tracks, should prioritize stamina cards. Top-tier cards like Super Creek and Fine Motion are flexible and fit most builds.

How do support cards impact the training process?

Support cards increase bond levels with your UMA, and higher bonds unlock friendship training, which offers massive stat boosts. Training with cards that have high bond levels also triggers useful support events that provide additional rewards or skills.

What is the importance of managing energy during career training?

Energy management is key. Training consumes energy, and resting restores it. However, you must avoid training with low energy, as it risks injury or bad conditions, forcing you to use a turn at the infirmary.

How does mood affect training and race performance?

Mood is critical in both training and races. A bad mood weakens your UMA’s training gains and affects race performance, including speed, positioning, and skill activation. It’s vital to manage your UMA’s mood to prevent these negative impacts.

What is the role of rainbow glow friendship training?

Rainbow glow friendship training occurs when you reach maximum bond with support cards. It gives huge stat boosts and can be a valuable resource, even if the training isn't related to your UMA's main stat, depending on the situation.

How should you handle risky training sessions?

If energy is low and the failure percentage is above 25%, it’s best to rest or recreate. Avoid taking risks unless necessary, as failing a training session could negatively impact your UMA’s stats before an important race.
