00:00:00
Hello, welcome to my Uma Musu training
00:00:03
guide. Four years ago, I made Uma guides
00:00:05
for the JP server, including completing
00:00:07
a rice shower career with all level one
00:00:09
support cards on launch. And now, I'm
00:00:11
back here to teach you everything I've
00:00:13
learned playing on the JP server. So,
00:00:15
this is my guide on the basics of career
00:00:17
training and the important events that
00:00:19
you should be planning around to end up
00:00:20
with easy wins. This is the follow-up to
00:00:23
my last UMA guide about picking legacies
00:00:25
and support cards. But since you're
00:00:27
pogers, you've already watched that
00:00:28
video and made a good support deck and
00:00:30
have good legacy parents set up. Now
00:00:32
you're ready to train and make your
00:00:34
Uma's dreams come true. The basic
00:00:36
training plan is to one, max your
00:00:38
friendship bonds, two, hit stamina
00:00:41
requirements, and three, pump speed
00:00:43
after your stamina is fine. Before going
00:00:46
over the scripted events in the career,
00:00:48
I want to give you general tips that I
00:00:49
feel are important for making good
00:00:51
decisions in your run. Firstly, in year
00:00:54
1, aka the junior year, you should
00:00:57
mainly be focused on leveling up your
00:00:59
support card bonds as fast as you can.
00:01:01
Ideally, we want all of them to be at
00:01:03
least in the final bar of their bond
00:01:05
gauge by the time the year 2 summer
00:01:07
vacation appears. This will give the
00:01:09
chance for rainbow trainings to appear.
00:01:11
And rainbow beach days are amazing power
00:01:13
spikes if you get lucky. If you have the
00:01:15
option to pick between different
00:01:16
trainings with the same number of
00:01:17
support cards, pick the one with the
00:01:19
training that you have the most support
00:01:21
cards in, such as speed, or stamina.
00:01:23
Every four trainings on the same type
00:01:25
will increase the facility level,
00:01:27
essentially making every future training
00:01:29
of that type a little more strong. An
00:01:31
early three-piece on speed, stamina, or
00:01:33
wit is almost always an instant take by
00:01:35
me. And obviously, a four or five piece
00:01:38
on any training type is great for bond
00:01:40
gains as well. The next tip is to always
00:01:42
pick event choices that give energy,
00:01:44
unless you're capped, of course.
00:01:45
Usually, you'll have the choice between
00:01:47
either more energy or more stats. And
00:01:49
it's good to have more stats in your
00:01:50
Uma, but energy can be anything. It can
00:01:53
even be more stats. But for real, by
00:01:55
consistently picking energy options and
00:01:56
events, you got to skip out on rest days
00:01:58
and instead do more training days, which
00:02:01
leads to your facilities leveling up,
00:02:02
which leads to even better training. And
00:02:04
it snowballs from there. For anyone that
00:02:06
wants to quickly rack up career wins,
00:02:08
I'd recommend using the training event
00:02:10
helper that tells you what each option
00:02:12
will give for each event. You might
00:02:14
think that's cheesy, and I'm not saying
00:02:15
you have to use it, but trial and error
00:02:18
takes a lot of time. And just be warned
00:02:20
that there's some options that are
00:02:21
basically choosing between gaining stats
00:02:23
and your Uma hating you forever. But if
00:02:25
you frequently use the same support
00:02:27
deck, you'll quickly learn which options
00:02:28
are good anyways. So, of course, the
00:02:30
event helper is not mandatory. Next, you
00:02:33
want to properly manage your stamina
00:02:34
throughout the run. Not having enough
00:02:36
stamina for long races is the number one
00:02:38
career ender. An okay stamina goal to
00:02:41
have would be having 450 by the end of
00:02:44
year 2 and at least 600 by the end of
00:02:46
year 3. The bare minimum stamina would
00:02:49
probably be something like 350 year 2
00:02:51
and 450 year 3. Even then, it probably
00:02:54
is a little scary if you don't have any
00:02:56
stamina skills to back you up. anything
00:02:58
lower than that and it's almost
00:03:00
impossible to win long races at that
00:03:02
point. When your stamina is hurting
00:03:04
really badly in your training run, it's
00:03:06
sometimes worth passing on rainbow
00:03:08
speeds if it means you can get some much
00:03:09
needed stamina training in. And as a
00:03:11
quick tip, if you're getting stamina
00:03:13
walled by your career race as a pace
00:03:15
chaser, the last stage effort you can do
00:03:16
is drop them to a late serger. Pace
00:03:18
chasers burn through stamina faster, so
00:03:21
it could be worth sacking your skill
00:03:22
procs to ensure that you have enough
00:03:24
stamina to finish the race. Next tip,
00:03:26
don't sleep on optional G1 races. If you
00:03:28
have no good training options for the
00:03:30
day, but there's an available G1 that
00:03:32
fits your UMA, you should go for it if
00:03:33
your stats are ahead of the curve.
00:03:35
Winning G1s provide a ton of benefits
00:03:38
like skill points, stats, fans,
00:03:40
unlocking race sparks, or even mood ups
00:03:43
and debuff cures. And winning G1's
00:03:46
typically stronger than a non- rainbow
00:03:48
traininee. However, if your UMA has been
00:03:50
failing to get first place in story
00:03:51
races, then you're probably not strong
00:03:53
enough to handle those optional G1s.
00:03:55
It'll take experience to have a good
00:03:57
sense if your Uma is stronger than
00:03:59
expected based on the look of your
00:04:00
training run. But once you've done
00:04:02
enough runs and had enough practice,
00:04:04
you'll get the pacing and flow of the
00:04:05
game and you'll know when G1 wins are
00:04:08
pretty much guaranteed. And finally,
00:04:10
reduce your low value days. A common
00:04:12
mistake people make is if they have no
00:04:14
good training options but have energy to
00:04:16
spare, they'll just do a random speed
00:04:18
training. This burns a bunch of energy
00:04:20
for minimal stat gains. When in reality,
00:04:22
a lot of times it's better just do a wit
00:04:24
training or rest and to save enough
00:04:26
energy for a potentially great training
00:04:28
the next day or even the day after that
00:04:30
as well. Don't be shortsighted on your
00:04:32
training days because a failure to plan
00:04:34
is a plan to fail. Getting a really
00:04:37
strong training option, but not being
00:04:39
able to do it because you burn your
00:04:40
energy on a waste of a day is a really
00:04:43
bad feeling. So, now that you all have
00:04:45
that information rattling around inside
00:04:46
your brain, it's time to go through
00:04:48
career and talk about the important
00:04:49
scripted events that you encounter your
00:04:51
runs that you should look out for. So,
00:04:53
starting from the top, like I mentioned
00:04:56
before, year one should largely be about
00:04:58
just leveling up your support bonds as
00:05:00
fast as you can. Ideally, we pick
00:05:02
trainings on speed, stamina, or even wit
00:05:05
if we get decent supports since it'll
00:05:07
help in leveling our facilities for the
00:05:09
long term. And if you see a four-piece
00:05:12
or fivepiece training option early game,
00:05:14
it's really valuable to pick that up if
00:05:16
you can. Our first major event is the
00:05:18
make debut race. The first thing you
00:05:20
should do is put your Uma as a front
00:05:22
runner. This may seem odd since they
00:05:24
might not have an A rank in front
00:05:26
running, but in reality, your position
00:05:27
ranking is inconsequential for the first
00:05:30
year. Unlike terrain or race type where
00:05:32
racing with a B or lower gives you heavy
00:05:34
race penalties, your position ranking
00:05:36
only affects your skill proc chance. And
00:05:38
in the early game, you don't have any
00:05:40
skills to begin with, so it doesn't
00:05:42
matter. It's much better to put her in
00:05:43
the front where it reduces the chance
00:05:45
that she'll randomly lose to being boxed
00:05:47
in because losing a make debut race cost
00:05:49
you maybe one and a half extra turns
00:05:51
because you have to win another race to
00:05:53
qualify for your career races. When
00:05:55
you've built up a few skills, we'll put
00:05:56
her back in her preferred position,
00:05:58
usually around the summer vacation in
00:06:00
the classics year. At the end of year 1,
00:06:02
we get our next event, the New Year's
00:06:04
resolution. You want to always pick
00:06:06
option two since it gives us 20 energy,
00:06:08
and the other choices aren't really
00:06:09
great. To make the most of this, just
00:06:11
make sure your energy is at 80 or lower
00:06:13
at the end of December, year 1. At the
00:06:15
end of early March, year 2, we get a
00:06:17
scripted mood up. It's not huge, but if
00:06:19
your mood is only good, don't go on a
00:06:21
date right before this since it'll just
00:06:23
be a waste of a turn. At the end of late
00:06:25
March, we get our first inspiration
00:06:26
event. During these goddess statue
00:06:28
events, we get the chance to get new
00:06:30
skills or existing skills at a higher
00:06:32
discount. So, don't spend your skill
00:06:34
points early. Try to save them for at
00:06:35
least after the inspiration event if you
00:06:38
need to spend down. At the end of May,
00:06:40
Tazna tells you that there's 2 days
00:06:41
until the first summer training begins.
00:06:43
And sure enough, starting in July, for
00:06:45
four turns, all training facilities are
00:06:47
maxed and rests are weaker, but give a
00:06:49
guaranteed mood up. If our support bonds
00:06:51
are properly leveled up by now, this is
00:06:53
the opportunity to get huge training
00:06:55
gains. Our goal is to begin summer
00:06:57
training with full energy and a great
00:06:59
mood. Things don't work out and your
00:07:00
mood isn't great. A secondary goal could
00:07:02
instead be to begin summer training with
00:07:04
half energy and a good mood with the
00:07:06
plan to rest on turn one for the mood
00:07:08
increase. Just be aware that sometimes
00:07:10
you have career races right before or
00:07:12
during your summer vacation that could
00:07:14
throw your plans off if you fail to plan
00:07:16
for them. After summer vacation,
00:07:18
starting in late October, there's a
00:07:19
string of valuable G1 races that I
00:07:22
recommend you look out for. If you
00:07:23
haven't swapped your girl off a front
00:07:25
runner yet, now is the time to do so
00:07:27
since you should have a couple of good
00:07:29
skills by now. Like I mentioned before,
00:07:31
winning G1s provides an array of
00:07:33
benefits. So, if you're strong enough,
00:07:35
grabbing these G1s is a great idea. I
00:07:37
highly recommend the Japan Cup being a
00:07:39
medium race that nets you over 30k fans
00:07:41
for placing first. Starting in year
00:07:44
three, there are three events with fan
00:07:46
requirements that if you meet them,
00:07:47
they'll level up your ult. This is the
00:07:49
only way to level your old. So, it's
00:07:51
important to not sleep on your fan
00:07:52
count. If you've been winning your
00:07:54
career races, most of the time just
00:07:56
winning the Year 2 Japan Cup or the
00:07:58
Arena Keenan will be enough to set your
00:08:00
fans up for the rest of the run. Our fan
00:08:02
goal is to begin year three with 70k
00:08:04
fans. To prepare for these races, mostly
00:08:06
just make sure your stats are okay,
00:08:08
particularly having at least 450
00:08:10
stamina. Additionally, if your director
00:08:12
level is not green yet, use the next few
00:08:14
turns to try to increase your bond to at
00:08:16
least green if the trainings allow for
00:08:18
it. It will matter later on. I'll talk
00:08:20
about it later. With a good stamina stat
00:08:22
and fan count, we start year three with
00:08:24
backto-back energy boosting events.
00:08:26
Selecting the first option at the shrine
00:08:28
nets us 30 energy, and the second option
00:08:30
gives us stats in case our energy is
00:08:32
capped. But the best value is taking the
00:08:34
energy choice. At the next turn, the
00:08:36
raffle gives us a 90% chance of getting
00:08:39
at least 20 energy. To prepare for this,
00:08:41
just make sure your energy isn't capped
00:08:42
since wasting that much energy would be
00:08:44
sad. At the end of year three, late
00:08:46
January, we get our first fan check
00:08:48
event, which levels our if we have 60k
00:08:51
fans. Luckily, we did those G1 races a
00:08:53
few turns ago, so our fan count is
00:08:55
sitting pretty. At the end of March, we
00:08:57
get a backtoback event. First is the
00:08:59
second goddess statue event. Like the
00:09:01
first one, don't spend your skill points
00:09:03
before it since you might get skill
00:09:04
discounts after it. Immediately after,
00:09:06
we get our second fan check. We need 70k
00:09:09
fans for our ult level, but also for the
00:09:11
director to be at a green bond or
00:09:13
higher. If we meet these conditions, our
00:09:15
old goes up another level, and we also
00:09:17
get a free mood increase. For the next
00:09:19
few turns, there's a couple of G1 races
00:09:21
that you can snag if you're feeling
00:09:22
good. But use this time to either fix
00:09:24
your stamina or pump more speed because
00:09:27
at the start of July, we get our second
00:09:28
summer training. Like the first one, try
00:09:30
to go into this with great mood and full
00:09:32
energy and pray for rainbows. After
00:09:35
summer, we have another string of G1
00:09:36
races that you can look for if you don't
00:09:38
have any great training options or you
00:09:40
just want to boost your fan count. And
00:09:42
finally, to close things out, at the end
00:09:44
of early December, we get our last fan
00:09:46
event, requiring us to have 120k fans,
00:09:48
which at this point should come
00:09:50
naturally from the Korea races and one
00:09:52
or two extra G1 optional events. With
00:09:55
the URA gauntlet remaining, hopefully by
00:09:57
now you have good stamina, a ton of
00:10:00
speed, a leveled ult, and a bunch of
00:10:02
skills from our racing. If you do, then
00:10:04
the URA finals should be a breeze. If
00:10:06
not, that's okay. As you play more,
00:10:08
you'll be better at making better
00:10:10
training decisions, and you'll have
00:10:11
better legacy pairs to choose from, and
00:10:13
you'll have a stronger support deck. And
00:10:15
improving is part of the fun of this
00:10:16
game. It's honestly the honeymoon period
00:10:18
of the game where you get to constantly
00:10:20
improve and see your numbers go up and
00:10:22
start reaching those career victories.
00:10:25
But that's all I got for my basic
00:10:26
training guide. If you have any
00:10:27
questions, let me know. I'm planning to
00:10:29
make lots of Uma guides and content in
00:10:30
the future, so look forward to that.
00:10:32
Anyways, thanks for watching and I'll
00:10:34
see you around. And remember, there are
00:10:36
no bad umas, only bad trainer sons.
