Support Banners

There are two kinds of desirable cards. There are cards that give good skills, where you only need one or two copies, like Bijin, and cards that you use to raise your stats, where you want them MLB, like Kitasan. Some cards can fulfill either role, like Creek. If you need the card MLB, you should have two pities before pulling on that banner. If it’s a skill card, pull with one pity ready, but stop once you get the card. Also, banners with two SSRs are generally better to pull on, as getting random off-rate support cards is usually not helpful due to SRs outperforming most low-LB SSRs.

(Nov 24) Rob Roy + Tamamo - Good Skill Card Rob Roy has a gold heal for Late Surgers on a Speed card, which can be quite valuable especially for Team Trials training. If you’re a Late Surger specialist, maybe aiming for a copy could be valuable, but you probably just borrow her.

(Dec 1) Muteki + Seiun - Good Skill Card Muteki is mostly used because she gives high hints for Team Trials or parent umas. Seiun’s skill is good for Front Runners. Nothing to go crazy over.

(Dec 8) Festa + Sirius SR - Skip Single SSR banner, and the SSR isn’t particularly good. Easy skip.

(Dec 14) Brian + Curren - Good Skill Card Curren’s skill is a gambling skill for Sprint races that anyone can use. Brian’s skill is generic straight speed, but not really what you want out of a Stamina card right now. Usually, you just borrow cards like Curren that have specific skills.

(Dec 18) Kitasan + Pasa - Great Training Cards You don’t need to pull this banner. In Scenario 3, Kita is not the best. In 4 and 5, she is good, but you’ll have replacements during 4 in Maruzensky and Tachyon, and then you can have good enough cards that you just borrow her in 5. In Scenario 6, she gets powercrept by Pasa. If you’re a whale you can pull here, but if you’re F2P, it’s probably better to save for the two upcoming Speed card banners that have free pulls.

(Dec 28) Helios + Vodka SR - Good Skill Card Helios gives a great Front Runner skill, the same one the Seiun Sky Stamina card does. But, she’s on a banner with an SR, so it’s an easy skip.
