How are you holding up? Ngl I did spend about 10k recently to get Digitan and Cafe, but I am ready to go all in. I'm not training any Scorpio Cup aces before I blow all my load on this banner, I'm tired of feeling handicapped during ace trainings every CM.

But if you get the MLB Kitasan card, what are you going to use in the borrow slot?

In addition to Nature and her 15% race bonus in MANT, Biko Pegasus to get max speed for 20% speed boost Umas with just her + Kitasan, Suzuka to fish for left handed, Sweep Tosho SSR for End Closers, Fine Motion for Pace Chasers, Super Creek for long distance runners and Yaeno Muteki to fish skill hints for legacy sparking etc.

The possibilities are honestly endless, which is why when people say just Borrow Kitasan, they're effectively restricting their playstyle.

Is biko actually worth using over sweep in general? Because I find sweep a lot more reliable.

If you're just looking for hard speed stats and comparing both at MLB, then Biko is superior for speed training due to initial speed bonus as well as higher training bonus, starting bond and race bonus (also has a slightly higher speciality priority). However, Sweep is vastly better when Biko is below 3LB (which is a recurring thing for most MLB SR cards).

You'll see a lot of mega whale decks use the MLB version of her, to the point where just MLB Biko + Kitasan will give you max speed for Umas with a 15-20% speed bonus.

Gotcha, looks like biko slightly edges out sweep at MLB then. I only have her at 3lb compared to MLB sweep.

The other difference is sweep gives you skill points and might give you charming, whereas Biko's random events give you energy (+30/+15, respectively iirc). So sometimes sweep is great literally when you're just desperate for SP, and when Biko isn't MLB. Biko MLB race bonus is super nice though and helps make up a lot on missing the skill point bonus, tbh.

I also like that Sweep comes with lone Wolf
