Unfortunately, she's one of the girls with a solid rival (Narita Brian) who will be in most of her goal races and have heavily buffed stats. These girls have harder careers than usual because of that - Winning Ticket is another example, many races have buffed Taishin & Hayahide cuz they're her pals

Live and race, horse-sib

My favorite is getting the eating related ones while raising Oguri Cap, like my trainer slapped his forehead and went "oh dang right that girl likes to eat I should feed her". No duh bro?

Congrats! I had a weird vibe where I dominated round 1, got completely massacred (0-1/5) in round 2 until my very final match where I somehow won 4/5, and then won the whole thing today. I'll take it but that was a roller coaster LOL

No problem! My recommendation for an easy high rank is to do Sakura Bakushin O with your best 3 Speed and 3 Wit cards. Train Wit instead of resting most times so that you're always gaining stats, and then just buy whatever skills you happen to get as you go, and it should produce a high rank girly.

For what it's worth, Oguri Cap should be in that 0.5 Pick Ticket at least!

If it works like it did JP-side, we'll get an SSR pick ticket for any starting girl soon with the 0.5 Anniversary. That means any girl who was in the game on release, so unfortunately Narita Brian isn't included. About four months later will be the 1.0 Anniversary, and that ticket includes Brian!

You can also inflate rank by buying more skills. Gold / upgraded skills are actually worth less, rank-wise, than just buying another white / un-upgraded one, for some reason. This is how you can cheese an S Rank once you have a decent deck, though the resulting Uma won't actually be good LOL

If you're purely going for rank, there are ways to game it. Basically, rank cares the most about your 1 highest stat and 2 lowest stats! That means a girl with 1200 Speed and then 500 - 600 in all other stats will be a much higher rank than one that's dumped Guts & Wit a bit. Beyond that...

The character is a skinny, dark skinned person, with pale silver freckles and dark eye bags, and a long bushy wine red braid tied with a ribbon. Their name “Apricite” appears above a colour palette, a rune-themed scarification design reference, and a starry, glowing, cobalt eye close-up.

You can indeed, but the limit of attempts per day is still 4 no matter what! Saving one ticket per day during this round will let you do all 4 attempts during the second round without paying carats, though, which is cool.

TM Opera O blitzed, standing on top of a car, declaring herself the Centurial Overlord is a very funny image

Stamina is the likely issue! 300 - 400 in the Classic Year and 500 - 600 in the Senior Year is ideal, in my experience. More is always better, but the biggest killer in Long races is not enough Stamina to begin with

Hey, as long as you're having fun! And if you aren't having fun, you get rewards regardless--

Yeah, I feel like I can't do any races without at least 2 Gold Ships - and I ain't running her, so I'm the odd one out.

Nice lineup! I wish you luck in the Taurus Cup!

Smart Falcon my child I will run your career at least once per day

That ain't Vodka, that's Moonshine

Can't forget the occasional Maruzensky! I get it, though. With 34 girls in the roster, people will trend toward meta picks ):

For what it's worth, luck is definitely the biggest factor in whether you get a good uma or not regardless of what kind of deck you're using. My "best deck" for any given length usually gives me B+ or very low A, but it's also given me a few A+ girls just from really lucky training streaks.

Most of it is their support decks, the rest is practice and good decision making! A lucky f2p or low spender has decent SR cards now, which lets you get A or A+ if you're lucky. Whales have good SSRs, which lets them get S rank girls with luck. It's just really hard to find good guides...

go forth my horses

I can never choose the top option even if I don't need 30 energy, it's just too mean. Maruzensky's is you being like "Aren't you counting calories?" bro I would never say that to anyone if they wanted to have a treat, friend or stranger

The game's great at throwing stuff like that at you, both with good vibes and kind of starkly grim or surprising tones! They gave the girls a surprising amount of depth and I love that

One Smart Falcon please 🙏 #umamusume #ウマ娘

It's based very closely on the real race as well! The announcer popping off and freaking out about her challenging Biwa Hayahide near the end is taken almost word-for-word from the actual commentary on that day :D

That final monologue into the quiet "yatta" when Teio clutches the win chokes me up even if I watch the video now. Insane moment

Maruzensky ! !
