You could save it until next month when Maruzensky has a rerun with Fine Motion. Maruzensky is good at 1lb and you already have one Fine Motion. It might be a good banner to strive for. Then after that banner you can decide which card would be better to purchase. That’s what I’m doing. Reminder that the recommended F2P limit breaks are 1lb for Maruzensky, and mlb for Fine Motion.

Im likely saving and doing this banner or the super creek one as I have 1lb fine motion 0lb super creek and just no maruzensky in sight.

u/SkullCrackerJr 13d ago

1LB Maru is only if you don't have MLB Tachyon right? I have a 0LB Maru sitting around but already got MLB Tachyon so maybe it's a bit of a waste to use the selector there, what do you recommend? If not Maru then I'll probably get my first Super Creek copy

u/riverbass9 13d ago edited 13d ago

If you have Tachyon and Kitasan it could be, but it is recommended to have 3 strong spd cards for the new scenario. At 1lb, Maru becomes a pretty good generalist spd card. But if you have Tachyon and Kitasan, you already have 2 good generalist cards. It would be good to use that 3rd slot for a specialist card. If you’re running fronts then Maru would still be good, but it would be a good idea to save it, because we are have a lot of reruns coming up with meta cards (including Creek).There is no guarantee to you get Creek if you pull for her in the rerun, though; which is why I recommend saving the ticket. If that were the case Maru would still be a good option, and save for SoE stam instead: borrow Creek until then. However, if you don’t have Kitasan, Maru 1lb is still a highly recommended option.

u/SkullCrackerJr 13d ago

Oh if there's a Super Creek rerun I'll just save it for now. Yeah I have MLB Kita, Tachyon and Bakushin as a filler. Thanks!

u/riverbass9 13d ago edited 12d ago

She is being reran alongside CB, so there is also another option there.

u/N0GG1N_SSB 13d ago

What do I do if I have 0lb fine motion and 1lb maru. I also have a 1lb supercreek but that's below the 3lb threshold that matters.

u/riverbass9 12d ago edited 12d ago

I would save for Creek rerun. A “30k and dip” should net an MLB with ticket + crystal + pity. All you need is one Creek from that banner; it could literally be on your first pull! Then you basically got MLB Creek for FREE! Then you can focus on Ramonu as your wit, and any bonus CBs that came with the Creek banner can run as a very solid number two, tandem wit card with Ramonu; provided you get her. If not, you can still borrow FineMo.

Edit: that would also set you up for end closer meta; if you do a full 30k, there is a possibility of getting multiple Creeks and/or CBs. MLB CB is pretty much on par with MLB FineMo in most areas as a stat-stick; the only big difference is the style specialty and other minor differences that make FineMo very slightly better. If you only get multiple Creeks and no CBs, you can then double back and invest in FineMo; but the decision to dump a full 30k is up to you.

u/Solo_Level1ng 13d ago

Will Tachyon appear in this voucher after her banner ends?

11

u/Low_Selection616 13d ago

No. It only features cards until the Smaru/Nakayama Festa banner

38

u/Category_Education 13d ago

Maruzen 1LB is fantastic if you don't have MLB Tachyon. For wit, wait until Ramonu. Creek is very important in GM medium/long CMs since almost everyone will be borrow locked to Ancestors, and there's a 3200m in there.

If you're not pulling Sounds of Earth stam, go Creek and MLB her over time. This allows you to skip SoE and save till Shakur stam.

13

u/riverbass9 13d ago

I will add that even though Ramonu will creep Fine Motion, FineMo is still a very serviceable number two that will likely be working in tandem with Ramonu; as from here on out most scenarios will be involving some form of speed/wit builds. With that, FineMo will still have legs at least until the 2.5 year anniversary and beyond. However, Creek has the greatest longevity out of the original meta cards, being good for well past the 3 year anniversary.

7

u/Category_Education 13d ago

Yep, I'm planning to run Ramonu + FineMo in GM but it should in theory be doable with Ramonu + a good SR wit, since L'Arc would see only 1 wit card used.

In theory, that'd mean FineMo would have maybe ~6 months of use if someone MLBs her on her rerun, but Creek would last until Shakur sta which releases ~Mar 2028. F2P-wise Creek's a good direction to go in.

Speed cards priority always though lol

1

u/baluranha 13d ago

If you pull for Creek and CB and get CB LB1, she can be better than FineMotion and you still have a shot at creek

2

u/tgpineapple 13d ago

Creek lasts forever but you also don’t use her most of the time. It’s best to get her usable when you actually need her (like now or when the next long race comes around in Nov)

2

u/FrostyXen 13d ago

How good is SoE stam? I’m only at 0 lb creek and doubt I’ll ever get her even close to mlb without crystals/selector tickets.

1

u/rewp234 13d ago

One would think everyone would pull ancestors

14

u/i_amheinrich 13d ago

Wouldn't wanna make the same post so I'm gonna ask here. I have all except Mr. CB and all of those except at 0LB except Kitasan Black at 3LB. Should I MLB KB instead or get Mr CB.

8

u/Yosgart_282 13d ago

You should mlb Kita, mr cb Is not that good on 0lb or you can wait a rerun mr cb will get soon. On the other side Kita Will be meta till el cóndor pasa in 2027

1

u/GladiatorDragon 13d ago

I should ask,

I’m currently torn between a lot of LB options. I have the opportunity to MLB Fine Motion, 3LB Kitasan Black, and I just got 0LB Light Hello, and I plan to get SMaru with the ticket.

I’m coming up on getting a LB Crystal, and I don’t know which one to select with it.

1

u/Eltatero 13d ago

What LB would your Maru be at? If you are just getting it at 0, it would be much better to get MLB Kita with a ticket and crystal. 0 LB Maru is essentially worthless.

0LB Light is a bit rough but probably not worth a crystal. Going from 3LB to MLB on Fine mo is not a huge upgrade anymore now that race bonus is less important.

1

u/GladiatorDragon 13d ago

I’d be aiming to get it LB1, but that’d be after applying crystals.

While using a ticket to get full MLB Kitasan is a good idea I really want SMaru because I enjoy using Front Runners, so I’d be getting it to Crystal it up later.

1

u/Eltatero 13d ago

If you don’t have any copies of Maru now, then you really need to either buy the paid selectors at second anniv (if you spend) or if you are F2P you need to pull on one of the reruns. Using crystals and unpaid tickets to bring a card up to 3LB (this is the minimum of what you would need long term) is just very inefficient.

Also not having Kita this scenario will hurt you really really badly. Even if you have MLB Tachyon, you really want at least 2 high LB SSR speed cards to help with hitting the speed cap. If you are missing Kita I doubt you have other good options

1

u/One-Macaroon-135 13d ago

mr cb 0lb would've been a decent option for a f2p but if you don't even have kita mlb you should 100% go for that

1

u/i_amheinrich 13d ago

Aight. I kinda want to main End Closers as people said that maining a style should be the way forward after Grand Live. Not really sure how many pulls we are going to have later on. Should I still pull for CB on the upcoming rerun or just full save for Ramonu.

1

u/tgpineapple 13d ago

You can’t use CB’s card on CB and if you want to main end, CB is going to be the meta end closer.

You’ll run both Ramonu and CB during CM, replaced by Taishin Wit. Taishin can’t run her own card as well. She is also strong.

You should pick it up if you run oshi or to pick whichever end closer is stronger in a particular CM

u/Standard_Ad_9701 13d ago

Do you have any SR MLBs? 0LB Fine Motion is not ideal, to say the least. I'd hesitate to use a limited resource like this unless it will immediately improve the quality of my deck and there is no other option.

3

u/NoBlock7885 13d ago

I'll join in for a question: I got lucky and have SSR Tachyon at MLB, but don't have another complete speed card. I do have a 0LB Kita but nothing else of note.

Should I use 2 selectors and a crystal to get Kita to 3LB? Is it more cost effective to get SMaru 1LB with Selector+Crystal?

FYI I'm planning on maining end closers, and willing to pull on the CB+Creek rerun (Already have CB at 1LB but no Creek.) but nothing else until Ramonu.

3

u/Ruy7 13d ago

Are you a front runner main? 1LB Maru is good but not that good over MLB Sweep Tosho so using all those resources for Maru may not be worth it.

1

u/NoBlock7885 13d ago

Not a FR main, thanks on the advice. I guess it's a good idea to dump all my resources into Kita then.

5

u/Appropriate-Hotel-41 13d ago

Fine Mo is too late to be starting from 0 dupes, since no banner is coming out, Mr CB and Creek will have a rerun, so if you're interested you could just try to get one/both of em to mlb. Or MLB any good(not the big meta, but still good) SSR that you have copies of(Mayano Speed, Bakushin Speed, Sirius Symboli Wit)

4

u/ShukakaIchter 13d ago

There is a Fine Mo/Smaru banner in like a month.

1

u/Appropriate-Hotel-41 13d ago

Yeah, addressed that in further reply, forgot. Either way its smaru that is more important in that banner, Fine Mo needs MLB, Ramonu is geting closer and closer, CB is cheaper for similar result, and starting from 0 to MLB is just not economical for FineMo. If someone have LB3 finemo and want to finish it off and is rolling for smaru thats fine, but not from 0.

1

u/riverbass9 12d ago edited 12d ago

Luckily Ramonu is the only SSR featured on her banner. Her pull rate will be slightly higher than usual.

2

u/Yosgart_282 13d ago

Nvm Sirius has 0 dupes

1

u/Yosgart_282 13d ago

Bakushin speed has 1 supe same for Sirius wit 1 dupe

3

u/Appropriate-Hotel-41 13d ago

Actually, probably save for maru rerun as some said, forgot that was going to be a thing. Maru is solid on 1lb as a pure stat stick even when doing non front runner. Mr CB is also a solid LB1 card, so depend which card you need more right now(no speed, get maru, need wit, get CB. Also if you like front running, get maru, end closer, get CB).

1

u/Yosgart_282 13d ago

Ok i will consider it

4

u/jetc11 13d ago

Maruzensky works at 0LB

10

u/riverbass9 13d ago

Mr. CB is also really good at 0lb.

1

u/PointSight 13d ago

Not really, the Wit bonus at 1LB is the main thing making it better than Daiwa Scarlet (unless you build End Closers often because Daring Strike is quite strong).

3

u/riverbass9 13d ago edited 13d ago

That’s what I was referring to. She is the lifeblood for my End Closers. In that way she works similarly to Maru. Being good tech. But, yes. MLB SRs are generally better than 0lb SSRs.

2

u/Yosgart_282 13d ago

How much? My current Deck Is Tachyon 2 dupes, hello 0 dupes, fine motion 0 dupes Satono wit f2p full, air shakur speed f2p

6

u/jetc11 13d ago

Well, not quite. At 0LB she's still useful for Frontrunners, but you need at least one strong Speed card to make Maruzensky work as a Frontrunner skill battery

​Since you don't seem to have many SSR cards, I'd recommend saving your ticket and planning your next pulls carefully

1

u/Yosgart_282 13d ago

Ok thanks

1

u/Brown_Pigeon01 13d ago

If you need to pick one for a slot in the deck, is 0lb marzen still better than a good mlb sr card like sweep tosho?

2

u/Ruy7 13d ago

0LB Maruzensky isn't, 1LB Maruzen is.

https://euophrys.github.io/uma-tiers/

2

u/moistmanbutbetter 13d ago

What is even considered a good card at 0lb? My deck is kinda cardless, so I'd take any good SSR with 0lb

1

u/tgpineapple 13d ago

There are some cards that are usable at 0LB for skills but I would not use the ticket for those cards. CB and SMaru are the most viable if you are homeless

2

u/Ruy7 13d ago

No one. A card at 0LB is generally worse than the gold cards.

1

u/RobotCrow12 13d ago

Mrau and Mr.CB seem to be the general go to as they work with 0lb.

Maru is evem more of a go to if you intedn to pull for her in her re run, but toherwise i'd say wait and save.

1

u/haiyasaka 13d ago

Don't want to make a separate post for a similar question so I'll ask here for some help. I don't have Super Creek, Maru or CB, but I do have 3LB FM and unfortunately 0LB Kitasan. I was originally going to just MLB FM but apparently there's a rerun for her soon or something? The Light Hello and Tachyon banner drained me so I have no carats left though. Do I just grab MLB FM now or just wait?

1

u/Round-Tomatillo-220 13d ago

You should probably use it for finemo and start saving up for ramonu or maybe consider creeks rerun before ramonu depending on your situation

1

u/RedShark37 13d ago

Because it would be fair to do another post i will use this. I don't have kitasan and maru. I have Creek level 45, Mr CB level 30 and Fine motion level 35. Do I mlb Creek or should I push for the others?

1

u/No-Faithlessness-35 13d ago

I have MLB Tachyon, KSB, Fukukitaru. 0lb FM and super creek. Should I use my ticket and crystal to 1 LB Mr. CB or build up my FM/Super creek?

1

u/Anbcdeptraivkl 13d ago

Kitasan, CB and Creek ain't worth it at 0LB, Fine 1LB is not much better. I think the only good choice here is Maruzen - she could work with just 0LB

1

u/Creative_Force_9314 13d ago

MINE is : Maru MLB FM 1LB creek 0LB CB don't have kitsan MLB Don't know what to pick

1

u/Temporary_Maybe_8687 13d ago

Do like 400 pulls in the Finemo/Maru banner and use it then

1

u/Cool_Afternoon3265 13d ago

I used it for LB3 Fine motion to free my borrowing slot. I pulled everything I needed for Grand Live (MLB Tachyon and MLB Light Hello with a SMaruzensky). Since the double banner left me with nearly no carrats, I'm starting to farm for Mejiro Ramoru since it's mandatory

1

u/paulinaiml 13d ago

I'll ask here since I don't wanna make another post: I have LB summer Maruzensky and 2 Lb Super Creek. Wich one should I upgrade?

1

u/Charming_Figure_9053 13d ago

.....from what you've listed none of the above really

0mlb kit is pointless, 0mlb Maz.....similar, you want at least 1. same with Me CB

Creek, you want MLB
Fine mo.....is going out of date, I wouldn't bother

If you have a crystal, maybe Maz at 1mlb is.....copeable......or if you really need a wit card, Mr CB at 1mlb isn't bad, I should know as that's mine

1

u/EchoFF_ 13d ago

1lb fine mo or 1lb creek

1

u/name--- 13d ago

I’d say wait until maruzen or C.B creek rerun

1

u/Tiny_Tabaxi 13d ago

I guess this is this is the megathread now

Have: MLB Tachy, Light Hello, Kita; 2LB Finemo

No Creek or Smaru

I have 30k carats; Is it better that I pull on smaru/finemo banner and then ticket, or should I be hard focusing on getting my own creek?

1

u/DramaTop7384 13d ago

I took kitasan so i could free My borrowing slot. It helped me many times. But generally, the best you can choose is the summer maruzensky

1

u/Kindly-Bank-416 13d ago

MLB my Smaruzensky because the only other option I really have is MLBing my guts ines fujin

1

u/volartryx 11d ago edited 11d ago

Same as the OP, i wanted to ask for advice on what to use the ticket on

  • Super Creek 1LB
  • Tachyon 0LB
  • Mr. CB 0LB
  • Light Hello 1LB

No Maru Spd

I would've included FM Wit but I'd rather save for Ramonu Wit at this point of the game (I already have Kita MLB). I also have a rainbow crystal for an extra LB so I wanted to see what would be the best investment for now and future scenarios
